Our Sick Inheritance (editing)

Chapter 130 - Business and a Burial

The boat ride was dismal. Anna was sure that Nate was thinking about Kayleen. He had loved her. Even if she and Harmony had told him from the beginning that she was rotten. Harmony had to be thinking of Stacy and the shock of her death. Anna couldn't even believe it herself. Worse, Anna couldn't remember the last time she saw her father cry. It tortured her. Butterflies beat at her stomach and she had to bite the inside of her cheek to cause pain so she wouldn't cry out. She didn't want her father to see what was wrong with her.

She was tripped out by something her father said. Anna had gone to many beaches and islands with her father, and she had never known him to be seasick before.

Anna's stomach started cramping hard. Seasick my ass.

"Shh, shh, shh... don't," A voice kept whispering in Anna's head. Anna rubbed the cramping that was getting worse in her stomach. She tried to keep calm because she felt like something was wrong. The bouncing of ocean waves wasn't helping. She felt safer on frozen water, not this wild clear soul engulfing liquid. Anna held her breath to get through the pain and nausea. Anna decided she was going to tell her father she was pregnant after his surgery when he looked healthier. She felt bad for being such a bitch and stressing him out so much. Her heart ached but she felt safe to start a new life with her father and her new baby.

Harmony rushed to her side quiet as Anna watched her father fall in and out of conscious sleep. She grabbed Anna's arm and moved her to the front of the boat where she saw one of the most gorgeous sunsets she had ever experienced. Then Diamond Island came into view and Anna gasped louder than Harmony. The closer they got the bigger it grew. It was already much larger than she had imagined, that she felt like a dot next to it. Everywhere grew different kinds of tall gorgeous trees, including coconut trees. The landscape was well developed.

There were beautiful colorful houses everywhere in all shapes and sizes with several acres of land for each house. On the biggest part of the mountain was their giant home that was the grandest on the island. Anna knew that is what her father had built for them. The side of the mountain were laden with several homes below hers. The whole island looked like a resort.

On the left side of the mountain they could see a structure had been built with paths that was the work of Anthony getting ready for Anna to add to it. It was even more grand and enticing than the garden she had at home. This one had a waterfall. To the right of the mountain were homes for those that lived and worked on the island. In the center of it all was a giant town of shops that Anna and her family owned. Just from where she was at, Anna saw several locations perfect for weddings. She couldn't wait to get started. Living here with her family was something she couldn't top. From the look in Harmony's eyes, she felt the same way.

They pulled up into an entrance that housed room for several giant boats to dock. It was easy to step off boat and onto a large platform. Nate pretty much carried Colin and put him into the wheelchair that was waiting for him. They were all greeted by many beautiful people. They were so friendly that they felt they had known them for years. It all felt like one giant family to the girls and they relished in it all easily.

Colin passed out once he was taken off the boat and they rushed him to the ambulance that was waiting to take him to the hospital. Everyone immediately looked worried. Anna, Harmony and Nate quickly jumped on to ride up with him for they didn't want to leave him. Anna had fear in her heart and Harmony wore the same fear on her face.

An EMT of the island said they were preparing to operate the moment he got admitted. Anna paid much more attention and finally stopped thinking about herself to focus only on her father. Nate, Harmony and Anna sat with Colin as he laid in bed trying to breathe. Tubes were in his arms as people were running back and forth into another room where the surgery was going to be performed.
