Chapter 1: The unfortunate loss

A little boy of around the age of twelve was playing with his younger sister who was four years younger than him, they laughed and played like there was no tomorrow. Sitting together like matured children playing the game of chess which was something you would find strange among these two, although they were young, they were smart.

Lucas plays a move and captures Emilys king, he looks up and says "checkmate". "oh no! not again" Emily says feeling frustrated as it was the third time she was losing to her brother in a row.

"Seems like chess is not your thing" Lucas says smiling so brightly that he could illuminate a crowd of sad people. "says who" Emily replies as she folds her hand and pouts like the child she is, "well..., says the guy you lost to three times in a role" Lucas says while pinching her cheek like their grandma would do when ever they were naughty.

"Oh yeah?" Emily asked as she was about to chase Lucas "yeah" he says as he immediately took off into the garden and soon after Emily goes after him with full speed as she did when ever she ran a race.

Emily was the only girl on the relay team, being a girl didn't stop her from doing what a boy would do. She believed in equality among both genders and that was what her teachers admired about her, being a young girl and having a bright mind.

Lucas moves around with a smile on his face as well as laughter from his mouth, Emily kept on running after him like her life depended on it. "come get me, Emily" Lucas says as he continues to move around with excitement, Emily ran after him but Lucas didn't notice she finding it hard to breathe and immediately it affected her ability to move, she fell on the floor and at the same time she was losing oxygen, panting so hard she was able to catch the attention of Lucas.

Looking very scared Lucas moved toward her, he was feeling anxious along with having mixed emotions, so many thoughts were running through his mind. Should he stay with her or run to get help? He ran into the garden to get help. He ran as fast as he could and immediately the house came into view. He ran into the house panting heavily, he moved towards the kitchen where his mother was preparing dinner. "Help! Mom! Emily can't breathe and she can't move" Lucas said as tears were flowing from his eyes, Mrs. Foster looked shocked "where is she?" she asked "she's in the garden on the floor" Lucas said as his voice was shaking, "go upstairs, get my phone and call an ambulance while I go to Emily" Emma said.

Lucas took off and immediately he got Emma's phone, he called the emergency hotline explaining the situation. He went towards the garden and saw Emma carrying Emily in her arms. Emily's face was covered with her hair and she was still panting heavily, her face was covered with her hair, her face had turned red due to the lack of oxygen. "Lucas! did you make the call" Emma asked looking scared, "yes mom they should be here in the next...." and immediately sirens filled the air with its noises which showed that the ambulance was here. "Mom they're here, Ill go get them" Lucas said as he ran towards the door, he opened the door and the paramedics rushed in looking for Emily and soon enough they found here laying on the couch with her worried mother.

The paramedics brought in the stretcher, kept her on it and carried her towards the ambulance. While putting Emily in the vehicle, Lucas tried to enter but he was denied access saying that only his mother could follow Emily to the hospital. " Dear call your father and tell him to bring you to city hospital to join us" Emma said quickly, entered the ambulance and left in the blink of an eye.

Two hours later

At city hospital 6:30 pm

Lucas and Noah, Emma's husband and Lucas father both enter the hospital looking scared and their faces were filled with anxiety so many thoughts were running through Lucas mind, was Emily doing well or was she fighting for her life.

As they moved towards the emergency room, they saw a worried Emma pacing around in circles, feeling uneasy. Noah moved close to her and wrapped his hands around Emma whispering words of comfort to her while Lucas took a seat and bowed his head in his palm as he blamed himself for the whole situation at hand.

Emma turned around because she heard Lucas blaming himself, she bent down to his level, raising his head up and looking straight into his eyes and pulling him in a hug, rubbing his back in a comforting manner. "mom" Lucas asked cutting in on the moment "yes baby" Emma replied looking at him straight in the eyes "what if....what if something bad ha-" Emma quickly covered his mouth with her hand and moved her head "don't say that, nothing would happen to Emily" Emma said "how can you guarantee that" Lucas asked with no sign of hope in his eyes "what did I tell you to do when you are caught up in a problem" Emma asked "we should pray to God and everything would be ok" Lucas said "exactly prayer is the key" Emma said as she wiped away the tears on Lucas cheeks and pulled him in a hug.

The fosters were like any other family, the week was dedicated to work and school activities, Saturday were for family time and events events if they came up and Sundays were dedicated to the worshiping God.

The doctor came outside the examination room and immediately Noah ran towards him, bombarding him with questions "how is she" Noah asked "are you the patients father" the doctor asked looking at Noah "yes, is she ok" Noah replied "ok, follow me to my office" the doctor said as they walked to another room.

"Mum, do you think Emily is okay?" Lucas asked his mother "I hope she is" Emma replied and kissed Lucas on his forehead. " do you want anything to eat or drink" Emma asked "no thank you" Lucas replied as he returned to his previous position. "well that doesn't matter you must at least have a snack" Emma said and she stood up and walked towards the café. Immediately Emma was out of sight, Lucas moved to the doctor office and placed his ear on the door in order to hear what he was saying.

"Mr. foster, Emily's case is very serious. her lungs are not functioning as they should and apparently they have been like that for about a month" the doctor said, Noah had an unreadable expression "well what can we do" Noah asked looking at he doctor "I'm truly sorry Mr. foster but there is nothing we can do. And unfortunately, we couldn't save her; Emily is gone" the doctor said and immediately Noah dropped his head in sorrow and disappointment.

Lucas was shocked and immediately fell to the floor creating a loud noise that alerted the doctor and Noah that someone eavesdropping on their conversation They both rushed outside hoping it wasn't Lucas that was eavesdropping on their conversation but unfortunately for them by the time they got outside Lucas had passed out leaving Noah in more distress.
