Aaron looks at his wife sleeping peacefully as the baby monitor starts going off then Breanna groans while waking up.
"Go back to sleep. I got them."
"You sure?" Breanna asked him in a sleepy and drowsy tone.
"Yeah, I'll be back in a minute."
Breanna slowly goes back to sleep as Aaron walks out the room, closing the door quietly. He walks to the twins' room and looks at them both crying their eyes out. Aaron feels on both of their diapers and his son is only one that needs their diaper change. He change his son's diaper and wipe his private and put some baby powder on his bottom then fastened the diaper and put him back to sleep. Aaron picks up his daughter, and she stops crying. He starts to chuckle while looking at her.
"Spoil girl."
He grabs the baby bottle and starts feeding her as he walks to sit in the rocking chair, looking how beautiful his baby looked to him then slowly smiles. His phone starts ring nearby him and he answers it.
"Hello." He answered while feeding his child.
"Hey baby. What are you doing?"
"Nothing, mama. Just feeding my baby girl."
"How is B-breanna doing?" Aaron's mother's voice sounded like it was going to break in any moment.
"She's good, ma. Just getting her rest in. Are you all right, mama? You don't sound too good."
Aaron has a hunch that she has been crying but didn't want to ask.
"I'm fine, Aaron." She waved it off by chuckling.
"Mama, I know something is wrong so you might as well tell me."
Aaron's mother breathe slowly as she is about to tell Aaron the news.
"Put the baby down and get out of the room."
"Ight, hold on."
Aaron takes the bottle out her mouth, and she starts fussing a little.
"Shh. I'll be back."
His daughter starts cooing and making baby noises as Aaron walks out the room, closing the door.
"Ight, ma. Lay it on me." He chuckled trying to lightened the mood.
"Um.. I don't know an easy way to tell you this, but your father is dying, baby. The doctors says that he might not make it through the night."
"What the fuck, Mama?!" Aaron yelled in frustration while mugging his face. "And you just now telling me this shit!"
"Don't cuss at me, boy. Have you lost your mind?!" His mother scrowled him.
"I'm sorry Mama, but dang I wasn't expected this. How long have you known that he was sick?"
"Three months ago."
"Again... you just now telling me this." Aaron got slightly annoyed.
"I didn't want to worry you, Aaron."
"Just great, Mom. Should've told me anyway." Aaron shook his head while sighing. "I can't believe this crap. Text me the address to the hospital. We will be there soon."
"Okay."
They hang up the phone and Aaron walk to their room to wake up Breanna.
"Get up. We gotta go."
"Go where?"
"To the hospital." Aaron told her as he put his clothes and shoes on.
"What ha-,"
