Gracen's P.O.V:

When I am finally able to go downstairs I hear my baby boy crying in pain. I run towards his cry. I freeze at the site I see infront of me. Sloan is laying over Cayson with blood all around. I start crying. My dad and Mark run downstairs. My dad calls for a bus while Mark walks over to get Cayson. He decides that he can't move Sloan so he walks back over to me. He wraps me up in a hug.

Two minutes later an ambulance shows up. The emt bring two stretchers down stairs. One emt puts Sloan on one while the other puts Cayson on another. The emt with Cayson calls for a kid's ambulance. He bandages up Cayson. I haven't been able to tell until now but Cayson has a bullet hole in him.

I cry harder on Mark's shoulder. He is crying also by this point because he has seen how bad off Sloan is.

The kid's emt gets here a minute later. They ask who wants to ride with who. I haven't brought myself to look at the love of my life yet so I decide to ride with Cayson.

We walk upstairs and they help me into the kid's ambulance. They drive to the same hospital that they are taking Sloan to. We get out and they bring both Sloan and Cayson inside.

I go to the room with Cayson. A doctor walks in and looks at Cayson. He decides that Cayson will need surgery. He says, " Ma'am is this your son?"

" No he is my girlfriends son but she is in worse shape then he is."

" Well who is the next of kin?"

" Her God dad is with her."

" Ok. Amy can you go and get the God dad for me?"

A nurse nods and walks off. Not long after she returns with him. He says, " Doc give it to me straight. How is little man going to be?"

" He needs surgery and since his mom is knocked out we need next of kin permission to do the surgery. This young lady said that would be you. We don't have much time though."

" I'm not next of kin she is. His mom has left a will saying if something happens to her that Gracen will be getting him and his sister."

" Ok well I need someone's permission now or this baby is going to die."

I say, " Do whatever needs to be done to save him."

The doctor nods. Him and his nurses rush to get Cayson preped for surgery. They then take him away. I go and wait in the waiting room. Mark fallows me. He says, " They are doing surgery on Sloan also. It is now a waiting game."

I nod. When we get to the waiting room to my surprise there is a room full of people waiting for us. A woman rushes to Mark. She says, " How is Sloan and Cayson?"

" They are both in surgery now Lisa. Lisa this is Sloan's girlfriend Gracen, Gracen this is Sloan's mom."

" Nice to meet you I just wish it was under better conditions." I say shaking her hand.

" Yes I do too. So I take it your the ones who all the cops are waiting to hear from. I just can't understand why there are so many cops and the chief of police just waiting to get a statement."

" Well actually they aren't here to get a statement. My dad is the chief of police and all of the cops have known me since I was young. They are here for support."

" Oh wow that is crazy that Sloan would date the chief of police's daughter in this small town when her uncle is who he is."

Mark says, " Well some of the cops and I actually worked hand in hand to get Sloan and Cayson back. Gracen is a good influence on Sloan. I guess you could say me too because now I'm not going to let Sloan work for me or try to train Cayson to take my place. I will be the last mob boss from the family."

" Oh wow well thank goodness for this young lady then. I just met you and I already like you."

I smile. We all go and take a seat.

Two hours later the doctor who was working on Cayson comes out. He says, " Can I speak to Cayson's family please."

Everyone including the cops stand up. The doctor is surprised to see all of us but says, " He has made it through surgery. He isn't out of the woods yet though because the bullet hit a part of his heart. We put a stint in but since he is so little we won't know if it is holding for sure until after 24 hours. If it doesn't hold though we will need for you Gracen to be ready to tell us how many things you are ok with us doing until he is better. On the other hand you will have to decide the point to let go if it comes to that."

I nod with a tear in my eye. He says, " Two people can go back at a time."

He tells us the room number and walks away. Everyone decides that I should stay back there the whole time. I pick Sloan's mom to come back first with me. We walk to the double doors and they give us a pass. We then head to his room.

They have him in a crib. He is hucked up to wires. One looks like it is giving him blood. I let him grab onto my fingure. He is asleep because of the meds they have him on. Sloan's mom kisses his forehead.
