Forever? (Sequel to Our Secret Someday)

Chapter sixteen

Maya had no idea what to do. She had never seen her fiancé in such a state. Nothing she was doing was helping which was expected considering he had just lost his sister and brother in law. Cory was the one person who always got through to his brother but with them not being able to come back into town until tomorrow it just left one other brother figure that could help him through it. She left Ellie in the room and walked past Josh in the hallway to talk to her dad.

"Maya honey it's 2 am is everything okay"

"I'm so sorry dad I lost track of time and I don't know what to do. Everything is a mess and I really need your help"

"What's wrong Maya? Where are you? I'm going to come straight away"

"We are at the hospital Dad, please hurry"

With that last sentence Shawn dropped the phone and quickly grabbed his wife going to the hospital. Neither of them knew what was actually going on, who was hurt. After what had happened to Maya last time they were expecting the worst. Josh hadn't taken it well last time and he knew that he would be distraught if something had happened to her or their baby.

When they arrived at the hospital. Although they were relieved to see their daughter and soon to be son in law alright the news was hard for Shawn to deal with. The Matthews had always been his family. He went in the hallway and held onto Josh as he cried. Shawn telling Katy to go in with Maya and sit with Ellie.

They knew at some point they would have to sit Ellie down and tell her about her Mom and Dad. When they walked through the door Ellie was more than happy to see her Aunty Katy.

"Aunt Katy, you came to visit. Is Uncle Shawn her too?"

"He sure is Ellie girl, he is just outside with Uncle Josh. Before he comes into see you Aunt Maya and Uncle Josh have to talk to you about something. We love you very much baby" She kissed her forehead and grabbed Josh.

When walking in Josh barely made eye contact with either of them. He sat down next to them and knew what he was going to tell his niece next was going to break her heart. The talk with Ellie was painful to say the least. The whole time she sat on Maya's lap sobbing. They still didn't think she understood what exactly had gone on and what was about to happen in her life. One question truly stumped them though, they had no idea how to answer the completely innocent question from their niece.

"If mommy and Daddy are gone where am I going to stay?"

When they locked eyes and realised that this was something that hadn't been discussed they quickly changed the subject hoping to distract the young girl. Katy and Shawn decided to come back in so they could give Maya and Josh some time to talk.

"What are we going to do Maya?"

"There is only one thing we can do. We have to get the spare room ready"

"Are you sure Maya with the pregnancy and everything im not sure if this is good for you. What about the stress?"

"What about the fact she has nowhere else to go. Your parents are getting a bit old. Cory and Topanga are moving soon and no child should ever be brought up by Eric. It's the right thing to do Josh and besides you are her godfather Morgan trusted you with her" Josh cracked a sad smile after what she said about Eric because it was right.

"Only if your sure, this is going to change everything Maya" He kissed her forehead.

"We will be fine, Now lets go tell her what's going on"
