Your a what?

This cant be happening.

Emily's pov

I went into the office of the school to check out the boys. "How may I help you miss?" The lady asked me.

"I'm here to check out Jack and Micheal Bailey." I told her. I was so nervous. Tomorrow is my birthday. I will be having full custody of the boys tomorrow. I am not ready for that. Not only will I be taking care of them but I will have to get a job and find us a place to live. I already got us a place picked out but I don't have a job. I have some money in the bank. I sure hope that'll be enough. It took the boys a couple minutes to come to the office.

"Sissy!" Jack yelled running over to me. I crouched down to pick him up.

"Hey little man." I whispered picking him up. I was trying my hardest not to cry. Don't get me wrong. I am used to taking care of the boys but how will I do that and take care of everything else now?

"Where are we going?" Micheal asked looking really confused. I walked over to him and hugged him.

"I'll explain in the car." I told him softly. He nodded and followed me out to the car. Once I buckled up Jack and Micheal was in the front seat I pulled out of the school. "Mom is in the hospital."

"Good." Micheal said. Oh my god. He cant be serious right now. I sighed in defeat. I didn't say anything else just drove to the hospital.

"Is mommy going to be okay?" Jack asked. I looked in the mirror to see he wasn't crying like how I wanted but he was being brave.

"I'm not sure little man. I asked the same thing when they called me. Lets get through this first." I told him. He nodded and I kept driving. Once we got to the hospital Micheal helped Jack out of the car seat and the car. "Hold my hand." I told both of them. They took hold of my hand. I looked up at the hospital and knew that this week was going to be long and stressful. We walked up to the doors and walked in. "Go find a seat. Behave."

"Okay." Micheal said and took Jack's hand. I walked to the lady up front.

"How may I help you?" She asked smiling politely.

"I'm here to see Debbie Bailey." I answered. I looked back at the boys real quick to see they were sitting in the same chair talking. I smiled softly at them.

"Relation?" She asked.

"Daughter." I replied. The lady looked up shocked.

"I'm so sorry." The lady told me. Now I was confused.

"Um... What?" I asked confused.

"She's barely holding on." The lady informed. My breathing was hitched. "She's on the 2nd floor. Room 200D."

"Can my brothers go in to?" I asked. She looked over at the boys then back at me.

"I'm not sure. You'll have to ask them." The lady said. I nodded and said my thanks and walked to the boys.

"Come on boys." I said. I picked up Jack and held Micheal's hand. We walked to the elevators.

"Can I push the button?" Micheal asked.

"Go ahead." I told him. He smiled at me and pushed the button. We waited for the elevator to come to us. Once we got on I pushed the second floor button. Jack loves elevators that's the only reason why we got on. Second later we were at the second floor. I looked at signs to find the room. "Look for 200D."

"Found it." Micheal said pointing down a hall way. I looked up and took a deep breath. I never thought this would ever be so hard for me. Seeing my mother in a hospital bed telling me what I already know. We walked down the hall. I put Jack down.

"Wait right here and stay out of the way." I told the boys. I walked up to the nurses desk.

"How may I help you?" A nurse asked.

"I wanted to know how Debbie Bailey was doing." I told her softly. I was still trying to control my breathing,

"Are you Emily?" The lady asked. I just nodded. "She's not doing to good. She's been waiting for you. Are those your brothers?"

"Yes ma'm" I answered.

"I don't think it would be a good thing for them to go in." The nurse informed me. I nodded and walked to the boys.

"You cant go in. So go to the waiting room. Here is my phone. Behave and stay seated. Don't go with anyone." I told them.

"Right down the hall correct?" Micheal asked and I nodded. He took my phone and Jack's hand and walked down the hall. I made sure they got to the waiting room before I went to her room. Once I opened the door my breath caught in my throat and the tears finally fell. I walked over to the bed terrified at what I'm seeing.

"Emily my baby." My mom whispered tears falling out of her eyes. I wanted to wipe them away but I didn't want to hurt her. She had road burns all over her face.

"I'm here mommy." I whispered sitting in the chair by her bed. She held out her hand to me. I looked down at her hand and it looked terrible. I softly took her hand in mine.

"I know I was never a good mom to you and the boys.." She paused to catch her breath. "But I really do love you guys. I'm not going to make it. The house and my bank accounts are going to you."

"Mommy I'm scared." I whispered crying. She slowly brought her hand up to my face to wipe away my tears.

"You've been taking care of the kids since you were small. You will be fine. Go out and start dating. Find yourself a nice man." Mom whispered.

"I know mommy. You know I don't believe in love." I whispered.

"Forget how your dad treated me and make a new meaning for love for yourself." Mom whispered back. She was still crying so as softly as I could I wiped away her tears. "How are the boys?"

"Holding on." I whispered lying to her. I cant tell her that Micheal acts like he doesn't care since I know he does. He will just wait until he's by himself.

"Are you going to stay in school?" Mom asked.

"I was planning on doing online so I can get a job." I told her.

"I told my manager about you. He wants you to work there." Mom explained.

"I'll go there once everything blows over and you get better." I told her.

"I'm not going to get better." Mom said. "The truck ran over my body and paralyzed me and as you can see I have bad road burns and the truck ran over my lungs."

"Mom I cant lose you." I whispered.

"I'll hold on as long as I can." Mom whispered. I looked at her and she looked so tired. "Happy early birthday."

"Thank you mom. Now get some sleep." I told. I watched as she closed her eyes. I let go of her hand and walked out of the room and back to the nurses station. "When is the doctor going to make his rounds?"

"I'm not sure miss. But where will you be so I can have him talk to you." The nurse said.

"The waiting room down the hall.'' I told her. She nodded and I walked to the waiting room to see Jack had fell asleep. "Hey." Micheal looked up with a sad smile on his face. I quickly went over there and bent down in front of him. "If you need to go ahead and cry."

"I cant do that. I need to be strong for you." Micheal whispered.

"No you don't. If you need to cry then cry. It's okay to cry." I told him. I sat in the spot next to him and held him while he held Jack.

"Your friend tried to call you." Micheal whispered handing me my phone. I took my phone to see that Angie has tried to call. I sighed and got up again and called her back. She answered on the second ring.

"Emily are you okay?" Angie asked.

"I'm okay. I said I would call you." I told her.

"I know but I had to make sure you were okay. Brandon said you looked down." Angie commented. I sighed and looked down.

"My mom is in the hospital." I whispered. She doesn't know about my brothers and I plan on keeping it that way.

"Oh my god. Are you sure your okay? Do you need someone there with you?" She asked.

"I have people with me. I'll be fine." I whispered.

"Please let me be there with you." Angie begged. I may have only knew her for a sort amount of time but we are really close already.

"Fine." I gived in and told her the hospital and she said she would come soon.



Brandon's pov

After Emily left after lunch I felt like a piece of me left to because well it did. Once I got home I had more work to do. I had so much pack stuff I needed to get done. At around 6:30 a knock came at my office door. "Come in." I didn't even look up to see who it was.

"Can you drive me to the hospital?" Angie asked. I looked up at her confused.

"Cant you just walk there?" I asked.

"Not the pack doctor stupid. I meant the human hospital." Angie said. My wolf didn't like that she called us stupid but I wasn't going to get mad at her.

"Why?" I questioned. Angie looked like she was thinking about how to word this to make me take her.

"Emily's mom is in the hospital." Angie said. Once she said Emily I was out of my chair.

"Well come on." I told her. I can't believe that this is happening to her. I hope her dad is there with her. "Do you know if she has a dad?"

"I'm not sure. I don't know much about her family. Every time I brought up family she changed the topic." Angie informed me. Well that's odd.

*At the hospital*

"Second floor." Angie told me. I was so restless that I just ran up the stairs and Angie followed me. We seen a waiting room where Emily was with two little boys. One was crying on her shoulder while the other one was in her lap playing with her phone while Emily herself was asleep. We walked over to them and the little boy looked up from her phone.

"Who are you?" He asked. He looked just like Emily. But instead of red hair he has brown hair and so does his brother.

"I'm Brandon."

"Angie. I called your sister earlier." Angie explained to the little boy. He looked at us then back at Emily and his brother.

"She just fell asleep." He informed us. The boy that was crying looked up at us.

"Your not here to take us away are you?" He asked.

"No we came for moral support." Angie told him. He looked at us then back at Emily. Why would he think we would take them away? Emily opened her eyes and looked straight at the little boy in her lap. She brought him closer to her and same with the boy next to her. She kissed both of their heads then she looked up at us.

"Hey. Um... These are my brothers. This one is Jack." Emily said hugging the little boy in her lap again. "And this is Micheal." Kissing his head.

"Debbie Bailey?" A doctor asked.

"Angie can you take care of the boys?" Emily asked Angie. SHe then looked at me. "Can you come with me?"

"Of course." I answered her. I followed her to the doctor.

"What can you tell me doctor?" She asked him.

"I'm so sorry sweetie. She won't live that much longer. She'll live to see at least tomorrow." The doctor explained. Emily nodded.

"Thank you doctor." Emily whispered. He nodded and took one more look at the girl who was trying her hardest not to break down. Once he walked away she fell to her knees. "This cant be happening." I bent down next to her and just held her when she cried. I may not know her but all I want to do is take care of her and her brothers. Only if she will let me.
