The Art Of Love

Chapter 4

            "ill call Katie..." he kept staring at me not letting me out of his sight. The phone rang she finally picked up. "hello?" I say quietly "do you think you could bring Luke and Torri home..." "yeh is everything okay?" a faint smile appeared on my face "yes... Everything is fine just bring them over as soon as you can." I hung up the phone. The whole room was silent derrick has said nothing. He hesitated to speak he was forcing the words out. "start packing" he said defeated. He opened his arms expecting me to hand him, William. I don't want to but I shouldn't deny him his son. After everything, I put him through he deserves this. I lay him in his arms gently. I headed to my room...

---------Derrick P.O.V.---------

A tear ran down my face I couldn't help but cry. If I only paid attention maybe I could have prevented all of this. I missed my sons birth. I know he's only a few days old but still... I wasn't there for her or him... He looks so tiny. Lannas in the other room packing. I didn't want to waste any more time she's coming home with me... Today whether she liked it or not.

Lanna runs out tears streaming down her face.
"what's wrong?" my heart sunk "we need to go to the hospital, Katie... Katie got hit by a drunk driver and Torri is in bad condition they are going to the hospital..." her legs went weak she started to drop to the floor. I went inhuman speed trying to catch her.
I rushed her to the car. Trying to be calm and not panic I need to be strong for them. I rush back to get David.

------------lanna's P.O.V.-----------

My heart sunk my body felt numb. Everything went silent I heard a slight ringing noise take over the silence. The next thing I know im in the car derricks driving so fast. He ran about six red lights.everything went in slow motion. All I can think is if they are alright. Are they dead...

           I ran into the hospital going up to the front desk. "where are Katie and Victoria and Luke. they came in an ambulance they were hit by a drunk driver." im trying to fight back my tears. She could tell." what is your relationship?" "im their mother and he's their father." I handed her our id. "Victoria is in surgery and luke is in room 303 on the 3rd floor." "thank you" I took off not waiting for Derrick to catch up. It took me less than five minutes to find the elevator. I shook my leg wishing the elevator would go faster. The doors finally opened I ran to the room looking in I saw my beautiful son. Luke was sitting on the bed asleep he had barely a scratch. I couldn't hold it back anymore he was alright...

It has been three hours and our little girl is still in surgery. The doctor has updated us three times. They said the surgery was going well. But what came next i wasn't ready...

The doctor came in with a long expression he looked at me "no..." he came closer "im sorry..." i didn't let him finish. "don't tell me.." "we tried our best her heart gave out minutes before closing... We tried our best. I'm sorry..." "don't you dare say it.." "im sorry for your loss..." i fell to my knees she's gone... Derrick came in "what's wrong" i just looked at him with crushing disappear. "no..." he came towards me embracing me. I start pushing him away but he wouldn't let go he just tightened his grip...
"shes dead...."
