"Apology accepted, Mother, now please save your strength."
The strangest smile came to Lynne's face. "Say it again, daughter."
Nicole kissed her mother's cheek. "I forgive you, Mother."
Lynne was fading fast now. "Tell...Nanna, I'm...sorry too."
"She knows. Nanna always knew you'd come around."
A far away look appeared in Lynne's face. "I can see her Nicole. I can see Nanna."
"Where?"
"She's so pretty Nicole." Lynne gasped and brightened. "I see Ecole and Daddy. They're waiting for me."
"No, Mother. Please stay here," Nicole begged laying her head on her mother's shoulder. "There's so much we have to do together."
"You'll be fine. Nanna says you'll be fine and Ethan will keep you happy. I know he will." Lynne leaned her head over and kissed Nicole on her forehead. "Don't worry, Nanna said the Lord and her will be watching over you." Lynne's body fully relaxed and Nicole felt her heartbeat slowing. She cried out as the paramedics pushed her away to get to Lynne.
She stood up and Ethan moved to her side to hold her as she cried hard while the paramedics desperately tried to revive Lynne. After forty five minutes, Lynne was pronounced dead.
Ethan guided her to away holding her steady, but Nicole felt the earth spinning so fast she couldn't take a straight step. Maybe this was it for her as well. The nick in her forehead seemed to seep so much blood, the warm fluid oozed down her face like a river and the loss of blood was making it hard to comprehend her surroundings until finally she succumbed into the darkness that pulled at her consciousness.
