Jack's POV
I stumble out of the taxi and my heart sinks. My home is swarming with medics.
I sprint inside and spot Trina standing in the living room next to an officer. I run over to her and scoop her up. She laughs lightly and I kiss her forehead.
"My brave girl," I whispered.
She rests her head on the crook of my neck and says "I missed you daidi."
"Missed you too baby."
The officer walks over to me and asks me if I'm her father and the spouse of Mark. I nod yes.
"Would you two like to ride in the ambulance?"
"Yes please." I said.
He lead us out and I saw the love of my life being rolled into an ambulance. Mark had a couple wires sticking out of him and he looked pail and very frail.
My heart shattered into millions of pieces by the sight of him. I forced the tears that pricked my eyes to hold back. I needed to be strong. For Trina.

We stepped into the ambulance and medics were busy doing their job. Hooking up wires, taking an IV, and so on.
"We're taking off!" The driver shouted. I buckled both of out seat belts. Trina was curled up against my side, and she looked sound asleep. I gave a tired smile. My ball of sunshine is tired out.
It most likely was very stressful for a 8 and a half year old.

Suddenly I felt a rush of emotion. I loved Mark so much, I could never lose him. I was silently hoping, praying that this was similar to his last visit to the hospital due to intestinal blockage.
The thought of losing him was something that always scared me. More often than not I would awake from horrible dreams that involved him leaving me. That fact that it could actually happen and I was watching it unfold before my eyes, terrified me. Losing him would send me spiraling back into the black hole I just got out of.
I snapped out of it as I felt warm tears leak from my eyes and roll down my cheeks.
I let out a long sigh.

Trina's POV
I felt myself becoming sleepy but suddenly I felt something warm and wet jump on my head. I looked up and saw daidi. He had tears coming from his eyes and I felt sad for him.
It was like he was caught in a rainstorm, and I decided to be the rainbow in the rainstorm. 'Cause everyone knows when it rains, the rain makes a rainbow! Rainbows are so pretty and nice. They make people happy.
"Don't cry daidi." I said. "I would give you a tissue, but I don't have any."
He looked down and laughed quietly.
"That's very nice of you to think of me T."
"Just tryin' to be a rainbow in your rainstorm!" I chirped.

Jack's POV
My mouth was hanging open.
A rainbow in my rainstorm. When did she become so wise?
"T, you always are the rainbow in my rainstorm."
I grinned widely as her face lit up.
