I woke up screaming. I looked around. 

"Matt? Where are you?" I asked frantically. 

Then it hit me and I remembered. Matt was sick, he was in the hospital. 

I lifted my knees up,  rested my arms on my knees and placed my head on my arms.  The scene from when I was last at the hospital drifted through my head. The image of the Doctor shocking him with the defibrillator. I slowly shook my head side to side.  

There was a small knock at the door. I slowly looked up and small little Amanda standing there. I wiped the tears and cleared my throat.  "Manda?"

"Zach, I no sleep." 

"Why, sweetie?"

"Papa in sick house."

"Come here."

She quickly ran to the bedside and I pulled her up into my lap. She snuggled into my chest, gripping my shirt with her tiny hand. I slowly caressed her head. "It's okay sweetie, Matt will be back."

"Weally?" She asked looking up at me with big, glossy eyes and a red nose. She sniffled to try and fight back her tears.

"Yes. Really."

She snuggle back into my chest and wrapped her arms around me to the best of her ability. I kissed the top of her head and hugged her tightly. "It's okay, Daddy's here, Daddy's here."

Three months later

I had dropped Amanda and the twins off at Martina's and was shopping with Christie to buy stuff for the babies.  

We had almost completed the shopping and were about to go home when we walked past a jewelry store. I stopped walking and turned to walk inside the store. I walked over to the glass case that contained the rings and looked around. 

"How can I help you?" A store clerk asked me.

"Oh, I'm just looking."

"Ok, that's fine  but if you change your mind and need my help just ask." She smiled brightly at me. 

I gave her a nervous smile and nodded. 

I continued to look through the glass case, when someone suddenly creeped up behind me. I let out a girly screech before covering my mouth with my hand and noticing it was only Christie. 

"How manly of you, Mr Zachariah."

"Not funny."

"No, it's hilarious."

I rolled my eyes at her and looked back at the case of rings. 

"Wait, you're not possibly.."

I slowly nodded. "I'm considering it. I don't want him to slip away from me again. I want to keep him and hold him in my arms and Kiss him and.."

Christie placed her finger on my lips. "I'd rather you not finish that sentence, I don not need to know about your sex life. What you two do behind closed doors is your business."

I chuckled and looked back at the rings. My sights set on a gold ring with a line of diamonds on it. I looked around for the lady and gestured for her to come back.

"Which one would you like sir?"

I pointed to the gold ring. "I'd like to see that one."

She took it out of the glass case, and handed it to me still in the box. I took it out and looked at it. The trail of diamonds went all the way around, it was nice and simple enough. He would like it.
