(Hope's P.O.V)

I explained the whole mess to Kylie. She told me that I should tell Luke first then tell Dustin and see how everything plans out.

Kylie: Are you feeling okay? You don't look too good.

Hope: I'm just a little lightheaded, it's all just too much.

Kylie: I think you need to lie down for a bit. You can lay down in my room if you want.

Hope: It's okay. I'm just gonna go home and lay down.

Kylie: Hope I don't think that's a good idea, you look like your gonna pass out.

Hope: I'm fine.

Kylie: HOPE!

That's when everything went black.

(Luke's P.O.V)

After I got off the phone with Kylie I rushed to the hospital with Connor to see if Hope was okay. When I got there all hell broke loose. They wouldn't let me go see her...

Nurse: Doctor doctor! She's crashing!

Doctor: Hang on! Hope stay with us!

Luke: Let me see her!

Nurse: Please sir, wait in the waiting room with your family.

I did as they told me to, there's nothing else I could do. She's in their hands now. Just don't let her die. Please.

***Few Hours Later***

Doctor: Hope Wayne's husband?

Luke: Right here.

Doctor: Can I speak to you in the hall?

Luke: Yes of course.

We walked into the hallway and I knew that he was gonna give me some news even if it was bad or good.

Doctor: You are aware of what happened today right Mr. Wayne?

Luke: Mostly yes and you can call me Luke.

Doctor: Okay Luke, you are aware of her state of pregnancy correct?

Luke: What do you mean?

Doctor: I'm sorry, we did manage to save Hope's live but 2 other lives are gone now. I'm so sorry for your losses.

Luke: My daughters? They are dead?

Doctor: I'm afraid so. I'm so very sorry.

Luke: It's okay. You did the best you could.

Doctor: I did. You can go see her now if you want but only 3 people at a time please.

Luke: Yes thank you so much doctor.

Doctor: No need to thank me, just doing my job.

I decided to bring Connor and Kylie with me into Hope's room. She was sleeping. She looked so beat down and exhausted.

Connor: Daddy? Is mommy sleeping?

Luke: Yes she is.

Kylie: I can't believe this happened to her.

Luke: Me either.

(Hope's P.O.V)

I woke up to see Connor, Kylie, and Luke all standing around me. All of them looked so sad.

Connor: Mommy!

Hope: Hi baby boy.

Luke: I'm so glad you are okay.

Hope: Yeah mostly I am. Can you go wait in the waiting room with grandma Connor?

Connor: Yeah.

Kylie: Hope, I'm so sorry for your losses.

Hope: It's fine I guess, they wanted me to name them and I was waiting for Luke to get here.

Luke: They wouldn't let me come in the room until you were stable.

Kylie: Now's a good time to tell him Hope.

Luke: Tell me what?

Hope: Luke, I went to get a paternity test a few weeks ago for Connor.

Luke: Why for Connor?

Hope: I wanted to know the truth to who Connor's real father is.

Luke: And? Am I Connor father?

Hope: No you aren't, I got pregnant a week before we got together.

Luke: So who is Connor's real father?

Hope: Dustin Brooks.

Luke: Dustin? You're old best friend Dustin? The one who never left your side?

Hope: Yes.

Luke: Does he know?

Hope: No he doesn't, not yet.

Dustin: I do now.

Hope: Dustin! What are you doing here?

Dustin: Kylie told me what happened and I came here as soon as I could and I brought flowers too.

Hope: That's so sweet of you.

Kylie: I'm gonna go now Hope, I have to go to court soon.

Hope: Okay Kylie. Good luck, I hope you get full custody.

Kylie: Yeah me too, feel better.

I can't believe the two people I love the most are in the same room right now. I did I just say that I love Dustin. I guess I did.

Luke: Hope, I know we've been through a lot together but I think we should go our separate ways now.

Hope: What are you saying?

Luke: I love you Hope and I always will but I see the way you look at Dustin, you used to look at me the same way. But now things are different. What I'm trying to say is, it's time to get a divorce. I'll go get Connor and bring him to you then I'll go back to the house and get my stuff. I think it's for the best.

Hope: I will always love you too.

Luke: For our daughters names. Jaclyn and Audrey.

Hope: Those names are beautiful.

Luke: Goodbye.

Hope: Goodbye Luke.

I can't believe so much can happen in one day.
