**Wednesday's POV:**
The day started as any other, but it would soon descend into a nightmare that no one could have predicted. We were at the park, enjoying a rare day of clear skies and warm sun. Enid, the twins, Willow, and I were spending the afternoon together, laughing and playing in the grass. Enid was pushing Ellie on the swing while Ethan and I were playing catch nearby.
It happened so suddenly. The sounds of laughter and joy were replaced by the terrifying echoes of gunfire. My heart lurched as I saw a figure emerge from the trees, gun raised. Panic spread through the park like wildfire. Parents grabbed their children, running for cover. I instinctively pulled Ethan down to the ground, shielding his small body with mine.
"Enid, get down!" I screamed, my voice raw with fear.
Enid's eyes widened in horror as she saw the shooter. She immediately reached for Ellie, pulling her off the swing and pushing her towards me. "Wednesday, take her!"
I grabbed Ellie, pulling her close as I tried to shield both children with my body. The sound of gunfire was deafening, and the world seemed to move in slow motion. I watched in helpless terror as Enid tried to protect Ethan, who had slipped from my grasp in the chaos.
A sharp cry of pain tore through the air. Ethan fell to the ground, clutching his leg, his face contorted in agony. My heart shattered as I realized he had been shot. But the nightmare wasn't over. Enid, in a desperate attempt to reach him, was caught in the line of fire.
Three shots rang out, each one hitting Enid in the back. She stumbled, her eyes wide with shock and pain, before collapsing to the ground beside Ethan. Blood pooled around her, and my world turned red with fury and fear.
"Enid!" I screamed, my voice breaking.
With Ellie still clutched tightly to me, I crawled over to them, my mind a frantic blur. Ethan was crying, his leg and stomach bleeding heavily. Enid lay motionless, her breathing shallow and labored.
"Help!" I cried out, my voice hoarse. "Someone, please help!"
The shooter was subdued by a group of brave bystanders, but the damage had already been done. Paramedics arrived, and the scene became a flurry of activity. I was barely aware of them as they worked, my focus entirely on Enid and Ethan.

The hospital was a blur of sterile white walls and the hum of medical equipment. Ethan was rushed into surgery, the doctors working tirelessly to save him. I held Ellie close, her small body trembling with fear and confusion. Willow was with Morticia and Gomez, safe at home, but my heart ached to hold her too.
Hours seemed to stretch into an eternity. Finally, a doctor approached me, his face grim. "Mrs. Addams," he began, his voice gentle yet firm. "Your son is stable. The bullet wounds were severe, but he's a fighter. He's in recovery now."
A wave of relief washed over me, but it was short-lived. "And Enid?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.
The doctor's expression darkened. "Your wife suffered significant injuries. Three bullets to the back, resulting in major blood loss and damage to her spine. She's in a coma. We've done everything we can for now, but it's up to her and time."
I felt as if the ground had been ripped from beneath me. A coma. The word echoed in my mind, a haunting refrain. I looked at Ellie, her eyes wide and fearful, and pulled her into my arms. "Mommy will be okay," I whispered, more to convince myself than her. "She has to be."

The days that followed were a blur of hospital visits and sleepless nights. Ethan was recovering well, his resilience astounding. He bore his scars with a bravery that broke my heart. He asked about Enid constantly, his little face filled with worry.
"Is Mommy going to wake up?" he asked one evening, his voice small and scared.
I knelt beside his bed, holding his hand tightly. "She will, Ethan. She's very strong. We have to be strong for her too."
Ellie clung to me, her innocent eyes seeking reassurance. "I miss Mommy," she whispered.
"I know, sweetheart. I miss her too," I replied, my heart aching with the weight of their pain.
---
Each day, I sat by Enid's bedside, talking to her, holding her hand, willing her to wake up. The sterile beeps of the monitors were the only response. I recounted every detail of our days, sharing every bit of news, every moment of the children's progress. I brought Ethan and Ellie to see her, their innocent voices filling the room with a semblance of normalcy.
"Mommy, I drew this for you," Ethan said one day, placing a crayon drawing on the bedside table. "It's our family, when you come home."
Ellie added her own drawing, a colorful picture of our family with Enid in the center, smiling and happy. "Please wake up, Mommy," she whispered, kissing Enid's cheek.
---
The support from our friends and family was overwhelming. Bianca, Yoko, Divina, Xavier, and Ajax visited often, their presence a comforting reminder that we were not alone. Morticia and Gomez took turns watching Willow, ensuring she was well cared for during this difficult time.
"She's strong, Wednesday," Morticia said one evening, her hand resting on my shoulder. "Enid will come back to us."
I nodded, trying to hold onto that hope. "She has to," I whispered, my voice breaking. "I can't do this without her."
---
Weeks turned into months, and life continued in a fragile balance. Ethan was healing, his spirits lifted by the constant love and support around him. Ellie, too, seemed to find comfort in the routines we established, though the absence of Enid was a shadow over everything.
One night, as I sat by Enid's bedside, I felt a tiny flutter in her hand. My heart leaped. "Enid?" I whispered, my voice trembling with hope. "Can you hear me?"
Her fingers twitched again, a faint but unmistakable movement. Tears filled my eyes as I pressed her hand to my lips. "Come back to us, Enid. We need you."
The road to recovery would be long and uncertain, but in that moment, hope sparked anew. Enid had fought her way back from the brink before, and I believed with all my heart that she could do it again. For our children, for our family, for the love that bound us all together.
---
In the following days, Enid's condition showed signs of improvement. Her movements became more pronounced, and she began to respond to stimuli. The doctors were cautiously optimistic, and I clung to every small victory as a sign that she was finding her way back to us.
Ethan and Ellie visited her every day, their innocent faith unwavering. "Mommy, we miss you," Ethan would say, his little hand resting on hers. "Please wake up soon."
Ellie would sing to her, her sweet voice filling the room with hope. "Mommy, we need you," she would whisper, kissing her cheek.
And I, I would sit by her side, holding her hand, whispering my love and hope into the stillness, believing with all my heart that our family would be whole again.
