"He's what?"
"He's alright. He's stable at least. Well...he's in a coma."
"Colton!"
"I don't get medical terms and I'm tired and I am also hurt so don't fucking yell please! You're his parent too and I don't know what to do so please just come. You can have the basement of the house to yourself but please.." He said. I knew he was crying.
Steve woke up beside me. I set my hand on his chest.
"Okay. Yeah let me.. I'll be there as soon as I can. I've gotta call into work. Are you a patient there right now?"
"I don't know they checked me out and I have a concussion and a bruised rib but Ash is in the intensive care unit and I have the baby at home and everything..."
I held in my emotions. "Okay. I'll be there as soon as possible."
"Okay. Bye."
"What happened?" Steve asked as I got out of bed.
"Cole and Ashton were in a car accident coming back from a baseball game. Ash is in a coma."
"Oh my god. Noa."
"I can go alone. It's okay..."
"I'm coming with."

We got to the hospital. Funny enough it was the hospital I used to work at.
"Noa. Hey.."
My old partner Amanda was working. She came over as I went up to the front desk. She pulled me into a hug.
"You okay?" She asked.
"Is he?" I whispered.
"He's stable. I'm sure it was shock. He's got a couple banged up ribs and a broken arm. But he's gonna be alright. He's got internal bleeding, but he had surgery. Now your ex-husband is going insane so that's a different story."
I nodded. "I wanna go see him."
"Second room in ICU."
I nodded, taking Steve with me.
I went in, finding Colton. He got up, coming over to me.
"I know what you're gonna do when you see him. You're gonna flip."
"Go sit down."
"Noa.."
I went over, seeing my little boy bruised. He had ivs and an oxygen mask on. He looked so hurt. Frail.
I felt tears well up. I work in these situations every single day. But if I see my kid in this, I'm done.
I turned away. Colton was sitting down. He looked awful. Steve just timidly walked over to Ashton. He sat down. I glanced at Cole.
"They give you any meds?"
He nodded. "It's my concussion. Noa I promise I didn't try. If I could have protected him I would've."
"I'm not mad at you. You were T-boned. There's nothing you could do. I'm just happy you both are alive."
He nodded. I sat down.
"You see Amanda?"
"Yeah." I said. I sat down next to him. We both watched Steve.
A nurse came in. "I'm so sorry. Visiting hours are over."
"But...we're his parents." Colton said.
"Cole. It's okay. Are you still checked in overnight here?" I asked. He was still in a hospital band. He nodded.
