"You killed her! You killed her! Anna screamed at Caleb as soon as he entered the waiting area at the hospital. "What? Killed who? What are you talking abou.....? Wait, Maya? No, where is Maya?" He asks, his voice trembling as anna pounds her small fists on his muscled chest.

Fabian and Myran came towards him and Myran gently pulled his sister off of him and over to a chair and Fabian put his arms around Caleb's shoulders. "As much as I would love to pound you right now brother, I've to restrain myself because my heart is breaking for you," Fabian said rubbing Caleb's shoulder. "Why?" Caleb asks his voice still trembling.

"Maya died tonight Caleb," Fabian said softly. "What do you mean....she died.....she can't be.....how?..... When?..... Where?" Caleb asks in shock.

"I'm sorry brother, she came to the house earlier tonight ranting and raving at the top of her lungs. She then showed us some very x rated photos of you with other ladies. She was so upset that she collapses, neither dad nor Ty was home so we called an ambulance....." He stops as his voice began shaking and Peter continues for him.

"I'm sorry cuz, they tried everything to revive her in the ambulance but couldn't. She died on the way here from a massive stroke. They put her in a room so that her family can say goodbye to her before they take her to the morgue. Her mother and sister are with her now."

Caleb was literally shaking by the time Peter was finished. "She was upset because of me; this's my fault, the mother of my child is dead because of..... me," Caleb said more to himself than to them as his knees buckled and he sank to the floor.

"What have....I... done?" He cried. "You lied, you cheated and you hurt her so badly that her heart couldn't handle it. You may not have been there brother but your actions certainly caused her death." Anna said in an angry tone.

"No, this can't be true, this isn't right; Ma....Maya can't be fucking dead, she can't be, I need to see her for myself." Caleb said raising to his feet.

"Whoa, not a good idea brother. You do not want to face those women in there right now." Fabian said. "Maybe we could take a walk, get some fresh air until the coast is clear," Fabian suggest.

"Talk a walk? You all just told me that my wife is dead and that it's my fault and you want me to take a fucking walk?" Caleb asks in disbelief as tears run down his face. "No, I need to see her, now!" He turns and ran from the room and Fabian runs after him. "This way brother," Fabian said calling him in the other direction.

A cold shiver run down his spine as he enters the room and saw Maya's mother and sister hugging Maya and wailing. He walks slowly towards them but when they saw him, her sister took a deep shuddering breath before unleashing her full wrath on him. She rushes towards him and her palm connects with the side of his face with such force that he instantly tastes blood in his mouth.

On any other day he would've been furious at her for having the nerve to put her hand in his face but not today, today he only tastes the blood but felt nothing, his entire body was numb as his eyes move over the still form of his dead wife.

He wanted to move closer to her but couldn't because her sister was now beating her fist on his chest, screaming how much she hated him. She must have realized that pounding on his chest wasn't having the effect she wanted because the next thing he knew she ran over to her bag grabs a pen and came at his neck with it trying to stab him but he grabs her hand just in time, grabs the pen from her and shove her away from him as he walks closer to Maya.

He reaches his hand out to touch her but her mom's palm connects with the other side of his face. That one got his ears ringing and again he heard the ringing, tastes the blood but felt nothing.
