Spark Of Life

Chapter 15

That night we went home both us, and the three kids are over the moon happy. I put the three of our kids to bed while Matt was standing behind me whispering "I love you" while kissing my neck. Once the kids were put to bed I was about to go get something to drink when Matt pinned me against the wall, and started kissing me. "Matt be quiet you'll wake the kids" I said to Matt who was making all kinds of noise. "Okay" he said while lifting me up, and using his foot to close the door. 

NEXT DAY

I woke up first next to my husband. I am finally happy to be calling he man I love, the father of my children my husband. It was six in the morning and I knew the triplets would be waking up soon. I decided to let Matt sleep so I got up. Matt was still laying there he looked so cute in his sleep. I silently closed the bedroom door making sure not to wake Matt. "Mom?" Alex said walking up to me. "Hey sweetie what's up" I said "I don't feel well" as she said it she looked more pale. I put my hand on her forehead, and felt for the temperature. She was burning up so I brought her into the bathroom, I took the thermometer out of the cabinet, and we waited about fifteen seconds. When it beeped I looked at it the numbers read 103. She had a high fever which worried me lots. I decided to take her to the hospital, and left a note for Matt to tell him to call me if I am not home by the time he wakes up. I didn't wake the boys, because I didn't want to worry them. 

We got to the hospital and Will came out to see us. He took us to the exam room, and asked "what seems to be the problem" "Alex told me she wasn't feeling well, I took her temperature and it was 103" "Okay well let me run a few tests and take a few x-rays and I will get back to you in thirty minutes". He took Alex 's blood, and had Maggie take her to go get her x-rays. I was worried out of my mind. What was wrong? How bad is it? Those two questions ran through my head. 

Thirty minutes later the doctor came back, and said "she has a inflamed appendix" "okay what should we do" "take the organ out" "okay let me just call her dad". 

Conversation M-Matt G-Gabby 

M- Hello?

He said groggily 

G: Matt we have a problem

M: Gabs what's wrong where are you

G: I am at the hospital with Alex she was running a fever, and I didn't want to wake you if it was nothing, but Matt...

M: Gabs what is it?

You could tell Matt was concerned Alex was his only daughter Matt's little girl. 

G: She has an inflamed appendix they recommend we take it out today

M: Do what ever you have to do to make our daughter okay I will be there with the boy's soon

G: Okay see you soon

M: Okay let my baby girl know I love her

G: I will 

End

I told the doctor and he already had a room for us, and he told the nurse to let Matt and the boys come to the room when they get here. I was sitting alone when Matt rushed in he just hugged me, and we hugged the boys. Everyone was sad and the boys where scared Alex is their little sister they cared so much for her. They always look out for her and make sure no one hurts her. We sat there for hours and hours and the whole firehouse was here for our little girl. Alex was apparently a little me is what I was told by Shay, but she was also a little Matt. She is stubborn, and caring, but doesn't like to be told what to do. 

FIVE HOURS LATER

They had just finished her surgery, and she was asleep each of the boys where laying on the bed with her one on each side. Both boys had one arm around her. They cared so much for their little sister it makes me happy to know the three of them will always have each other. Matt, and I were siting on the couch watching them. Matt broke the silence by saying "I am so happy she is okay" "me to, and I am so sorry I didn't wake you up when I was going to take her" "it is okay, but can I just ask why" "I wanted to let you sleep I know how stressed you have been, and after getting mrried I wanted to let you sleep, so when I got up I was going to make breakfast, and then she came up to me not feeling well....." "hey hey it's okay" I haven't even noticed I started crying. He held me tight and kissed the top of my head. "I love you Gabby you know that" "I love you too I hope you know that". We stayed like that for I don't know how long. We fell asleep the boys guarding their little sister, and us watching them. 

THE NEXT DAY

We went to work because our daughter forced us to. The boys were staying with her to make sure no one hurt her. They were so protective over her which made me smile. Me and Matt walked into the firehouse hand in hand. "Hey how is my granddaughter" asked Herman. Herman was basically a father figure to me, and he loves my kids as if they were his own grand kids. The kids love him so much, and think he is their grandfather they even call him 'papa Herman'. "She is better" I told him "the boys are protecting her as we speak" I added "they lover her" he said knowing our kids. We were about  to go change when the alarms went off.

We got into the rig, and went off. The building wasn't even on fire so I had no idea why  we were called. "Probably a structure fire, so lets just go in and search" we walked in. Herman, and I went to the second floor when we called for paramedics there was a man laying at the bottom of the stairs. I helped Shay while Herman kept searching that's when I heard the bang, and all I saw was grey, and then nothing. All I heard was Shay screaming my name then nothing.
