'How are you feeling today Emma?' The nurse asks, checking her fluids.
No reply.
'Emma?'
She checks her heart rate.
Flat line.
She presses the intercom button that calls for a doctor.
'Doctor? Patient in Ward 8E has a flat line. We need a defibrillator stat.'
The nurse taps Emma's cheek.
'Stay with me Emma.'
She pumps her chest.
'Come on.'
The doctor enters with the defibrillator trolley.
'Step back.'
The doctor plugs them in and places it Emma's chest.
'I think we left it too late nurse.' The doctor says sullenly. He brings out a clipboard.
'Time of death: 6:03am, Wednesday July 12th.'
The nurse falls into a chair, head in her hands.
'She had a husband and two daughters.' She whispers.
'Wait.' The doctor says, holding up a hand.
'I think there's more.' He says pointing to a pool of blood slowly appearing on her lower abdomen.
He rubs some gel on her stomach and scans it.
'Zoom in there.' He points to the scan on the screen.
'No.' The nurse gasps.
'She was pregnant.' The doctor says aghast.
'How did we not know?' The nurse asks.
'It was hidden behind this.' The doctor points to a black spot in her abdomen scan.
'Stomach cancer?'
'Looks like there was a lot we didn't know.' The doctor shakes his head.

JOE'S POV
--------------------------------------------
I pace back and fourth through the hotel room. Amelie and Margot are asleep on the bed.
Suddenly the phone rings. I run and pick it up immediately.
'Hello?' I ask breathlessly.
'Joseph Sugg?' A voice asks.
'Joe.' I correct. 'I mean, yes that's me.'
'I have some news regarding your wife- Emma Sugg.'
'Yes?' My heart is on a line.
'She passed away at 6 this morning.'
My heart fell off the line into the deepest part of the ocean. I sink into the chair by the desk.
'Passed away?' I whisper.
'Yes. There's more... She had stomach cancer and a miscarriage.'
'W-what?'
'Would you like to see her before we take her to the mortuary?' She asks.
'Yes please, I'll be right away.'
I get the girls in a taxi and try and get there as soon as possible.
A single tear slips down my cheek. I wipe it away before the girls see.
'Daddy where are we going?' Margot asks.
'To see mummy..' I whisper.
