"She can't be gone.  She isn't!"

"Sir, I am so sorry.  We did everything we could.  She just lost too much blood."

Zachary and Alyssa saw Danny sobbing on the ground so they walked over to check on him.

"Dad.."

"I don't want to talk right now.. Sh-She.. She's gone." Danny was completely broken.

"No!  Dad, she can't be-"

"Please just Leave Me Alone!"

Just then rest of the family came over with balloons and stuffed animals for the baby.

"Is the baby here?" Dorothy smiles.

"Daddy!  Mama have the baby?!  I wanna see her!" Nova smiles as she holds a little stuffed elephant in her hand and a balloon in the other.

Danny's head began to spin.  He didn't know what to do or say.  He felt like he couldn't even move.

"What is it?!  Is the baby okay?" Sam asks.

"Is it mom?  Someone say something!" James says.

"Aly, take the kids to the waiting room." Zachary says.

"No!  I wanna know NOW!  What is it?  Where's mom?" Grayson asks.

"Gray, go wait with the-"

"I'M NOT GOING!" He shouts.

"Boys.. your mother.. she had the babies."

"Babies?" Sam asks.

"Yeah, It's Twins.. But-"

"Are they okay?"

"They're fine.. but your mom.. she-"

"Tell us, Danny!" James raises his voice.

"She lost too much blood.."

"Is she sick?"

"She.. She didn't make it." Danny says barely able to get the words out.

"What?"

"She lost too much blood and.. She.. She passed."

"Shut up. Stop this, this isn't funny, Danny!"

"He's not playing, James.. She.." Zachary looks down and cries silently.

"She's just gone?" Sam asks.

"MOMMYYY!" Grayson screams.

Dorothy fell to the ground sobbing.
Samuel walked off and started yelling and banging on the walls.

"No." James nods.

"She's not. I'll go back there, I can wake her up! She's just.. she's just tired!" He cries.

"Dad, mommy can't die! I need her! MOMMYYYYY!" Grayson sobs uncontrollably.

Danny hugged Grayson and cried with him.
"I can't be here right now. I can't—"

"Mr. Huston, would you like to come back?"

Danny looked at the doctor with red puffy eyes.
He nodded then followed him to the room Jessica was in. They had cleaned her up and laid her down in a new bed.

Danny looked at her and broke down.
He walked closer and slowly reached out for her hand.

"Jessica.. Baby."

Silence filled the room.

"Why? Why did you have leave me?
I can't live this life without you, baby girl. I can't!"
