Their Little Sunshine

[26] I.C.U.

THANKS A LOT EVERYONE!!

The last chapter votes and comments escalated quickly, so I wrote an early update for all of you. This chapter was written 3 days ago, but ... well, you already know the rest.

I think I deserve a thanks for all the stress I went through for the past three days. I was on the verge of crying twice, for this chapter.

So,

300+ comments for the next update ?

And 170 votes?

Third person POV

It had been thirty minutes.

Thirty minutes since she has been taken to the ICU. It didn't feel like half an hour tho to the people standing outside her ICU door, it sure felt like an eternity. The tapping of their foot on the floor, clenching and unclenching of fists, the rapid beating of their heart's... these were the only things that could be heard in the silent hallway.

Learning on the wall sideways with his hands folded on his chest, his mind was running a million kilometres per second, all of theirs were. One side of their mind didn't want to leave her here alone, they didn't want to go, they couldn't. He didn't have it in him to leave his little girl here, but the other stronger part of him wanted to just go back and get the f*cker who did this. It was pretty clear to everyone now that the food served to Kiara was different, because if it wasn't then Alex would also have been ill. Severely ill.

That part of him took over his mind, his fists clenched as he suddenly stood up straight. Unexpectedly, his eyes met his brother's, they understood the inner turmoil going on in his mind when Anthony said, "We are coming with you."

Francesco didn't say anything just turned around, they were about to leave the hall when David entered, his eyes red, "Dad, where are you going?" He asked, his voice hoarse

"Zaydon called." David started, speaking a little loudly for his father and uncle to hear as they didn't turn around, they stopped abruptly and turned towards him, "He didn't say much but he has found someone, most probably."

Alex, Vincent, Lorenzo, Stefan and Dean too came in front of him, followed by the aunt, "You all can't leave her alone!" David said

"We are not." Alex said, "You, Lorenzo, Axel, Silas, Greyson, Kritton, Sean and Julian are here. And we'll be back before you know it." He said pointing to everyone in the hall

"Dad.." David whispered turning towards his father, unshed tears in his eyes, "What will we do here alone?"

Francesco took a step forward, it had been years since he has seen tears in any one of his kids, and his heart couldn't bear it. He wrapped his arms around his shoulder, "Shh." He whispered, "It will be alright, Dave. Just give me one hour please, I'll be back here with you."

"Okay." He nodded as they both parted from the hug

Silas turned towards his mom, "You are also going?" his tone was vulnerable, Ada and Nora turned towards all their son sitting there, Kritton, Antonio and Zayn had unshed tears in their eyes while Greyson and Silas looked panicked, Julian, Sean and Axel weren't facing them. Julian and Axel had their head in their hands while Sean's back was facing them. In short, only one word could be used to describe their children. They all looked vulnerable.

Ada and Eleanora wanted to go with them, but at the same, time they didn't have the heart in them to leave their sons and daughter behind. Ada shook her head, "No, we are not going."
