Time of death

TIMMMMMM Lucy screamed her voice full of a panic he had never heard before. SHES SHES  NOT BREATHING she cried her body now shaking her hand coming up to her mouth. Tim dropped the glass it smashed everywhere but he ran to Lucy he moved her out of the way to double check he pulled out his phone and dialled 999
Lucy started cpr. Tears streaming down her face her body simultaneously numb and raw. She knew Tilly had gone she felt it in her being, her heart beat, her bones, her soul.
Within 5 minutes the paramedics arrived it was Bailey with her partner they took over the cpr Lucy sat in disbelief as to what's happened.
Bailey looked at Lucy and Tim as her partner shook his head.
We need to take her to hospital to get legal confirmation but she's gone I'm so so sorry Lucy sat holding Tilly she looked down Tim was sobbing. They arrived at the hospital and a doctor confirmed it.
Lucy hadn't said a word she just held Tilly.
Bailey left the room her chest tight and tears rising she was walking down the corridor she saw John and Angela and Nyla they must be here on a case she thought John smiled and waved she walked towards him and she broke down he took her in his arms what's up Bails he said. Through her sobs she cried Tilly's dead she said. Angela covered her mouth taking a step back and Nyla said What?? Her arm shaking
Angela asked where are Tim and Lucy omg I can't believe it she said tears streaming down her face. Room 23 she said
Angela ran to it Tim was outside talking to a doctor. She ran up taking him in her arms. He broke down what happened she said. Through sobs Tim managed to say they think it's SIDS she was in her Moses basket then Lucy went to feed her and she was gone. I've got to go back in he said wiping his eyes and pointing to the door. We are all here Angela said kissing his head. He nodded but his chin wobbled tears fell i don't know what to do he cried Angela hugged him. Angela stayed outside the door Nyla joined her. They sat on the chairs.
Inside the room the doctor was speaking to Lucy. She has to go to morgue sweetheart she said.
Lucy muttered the first word since finding out Tilly had died. N-n-no her head shook from side to side she cradled Tilly close to her body Tim bent down next to Lucy. She's gone baby he said crying Lucy looked at him and shook her head. The minute her heart stopped beating she stopped being our sweet Tilly. Lucy's tears had made her baby grow wet If I let her go it means she's gone I c-c-can't she said her voice breaking at the end.
Tim took her hand placing his face next to hers it's going to be okay he whispered. She kissed Tilly on the head and passed her to the doctor.
The doctor said they could have the room as long as they wanted. Angela and Nyla came in hugging Tim. Lucy hadn't noticed them all she could focus on was the fact she was a mother without a baby she was a broken shell of a woman. she could hear her heart in her ears. Lucy here drink this he said passing her a bottle of water. Lucy's arms didn't move to take it.
Tim's voice became distorted. She looked through him. Angela walked up taking her hand Luce you need to drink. Lucy turned her head Angela's voice was distorted too. Lu Tim said moving towards her. She stood up everything became slow it felt like she was underwater. All of a sudden she passed out Tim went to catch her but she fell quickly
woah Lucy Angela shouted attempting to grab her head. She hit the floor. Tim scooped her up get a doctor he shouted Nyla ran. The doctor came in and did her vitals. Tim held her hand and kissed her forehead. I think it's reaction to the news he said it's like her body went into shut down we will be into monitor her in an hour.
Angela and Nyla stayed with Tim. An hour passed nothing Lucy hadn't stirred.
Angela looked at Nyla who was asleep in the chair her own head bobbing with tiredness. Tim's eyes were shut.
The room was still the silence engulfed it.
Around 2 hours later Lucy's eyes fluttered open her hand came to her head her eyes squinted the hospital light took a minute to adjust to.
Then she remembered Tilly was gone.
She didn't have the strength to move her head around the room praying that tim was somewhere in the room she opened her mouth
She whimpered T-T-Ti-Tim she said in her mind she wanted it to be strong and confident but it came out tearful and full of emotion it was just above a whisper Tim shot up her breathing was becoming erratic and sobs escaped her eyes. Tim took her in his arms Angela and Nyla woke up tears ran down their faces. I don't know what to do Tim said as he held her. Her arms gripped him so tightly her sobs were loud. We are going to get through this he said
I w-wa-want to go h-h-ho-home she cried.
Angela and Nyla watched Lucy break apart they had never seen anyone experience this level of grief.
Tim walked out with Lucy as she got in the car she closed her eyes the pair drove home in silence
As they walked up their drive way Tim opened the door his hand on her lower back she stopped in the entrance. Her eyes scanning the room evidence of Tilly's short life lay everywhere it was like a museum exhibition. Tim carefully guided her in she took her shoes and coat off. 
Why don't you go to bed Tim said kissing her head. Lucy shook her head seeing the mess no I need to tidy. Tim understanding her worries said then we will clean together. He took his shoes off and they both started in the living room she picked up a blanket and stuffed toy bringing them to her face she inhaled. She stood like that for what seemed like an eternity. Tim looked at her seeing the tears form in her eyes she put them in the Moses basket he was so worried. She saw Tim tidying away the paramedics equipment wrappers she walked to him taking the rubbish.
she walked into the kitchen plates and cups on the side clean and ready to be put away from dinner she went to move them. Tim remembered the broken glass WAIT he said loudly she turned around then he heard the crunch. OW she said god fucking dammit her words quieter but he could hear her tears. She picked up the plates and glasses throwing them to the ground. Hey hey he said going up to her stepping over the glass. She had slid down the cabinet and was sat on the floor sniffling are you hurt he asked taking her hands in his. she shook her head. Okay stay there he said his hand cupping her face. Tim swept the glass up and then tended to Lucy she was sat sniffling with her head on her knees. 
Baby I need to see if you're okay. she sat up Tim could see the pain in her eyes it's fine she said yanking the glass out of her foot but sliced her hand Tim clasped her hand and bandaged it. Her foot was okay. The pair sat on the floor in each other's embrace. Both broken. Both hurting. Both unsure where life was going to take them now.
I can't believe she's gone Tim said clutching Lucy.
Shaking her head me either
