What is it then just tell me Luke said confused.

Your mom was in a cat accident Ty said.

No no no Luke said starting to cry.

I'm so sorry buddy come here Ty said.

Luke gently layed his head on Ty and cried.

Ty gently rubbed his back hoping  it would help sooth him.

Is she okay Luke asked looking up at Ty tears still rolling down his face.

Well she's hurt pretty badly Ty said.

Can we go see her Luke asked.

We can but she's in the hospital and in a coma Ty said.

What's a coma Luke asked.

It's when you get hurt really badly and go unconscious Ty said unsure how to explain it.

Is she going to die Luke asked.

I don't know Ty said honestly..

Luke placed his head back on tys chest and started crying again .

It's okay Ty said once again trying to soothe Luke.

After letting Luke cry for a Ty asked him if he wanted to come downstairs.

Is Lyndy still awake Luke asked.

Yes why Ty asked.

Because I don't want to scare her by crying Luke said.

You won't Ty said.

Okay I'll go downstairs Luke said.

Okay let's go Ty said.

Amy didn't sleep at all that night .

She was too busy thinking.

She felt terrible for both her kids.

She just wanted to take all the pain that her kids were feeling away from them.

Mommy she heard Lyndy call.

Amy got up to check on her.

What do you need Amy asked when she walked into Lyndy's room.

I need to go to the bathroom Lyndy said.

Okay let's go Amy said grabbing Lyndy's hand.

The next day Lyndy looked even more miserable than she had in the days prior.

Amy and Ty decided to explain to the kids why Lyndy was so sick.

Luke can you come downstairs please Amy and I need to talk to you Ty said.

Sure what's going on Luke asked.

We'll tell you downstairs Ty said.

Okay Luke said confused.

What's going on Luke asked panicking.

The reason Lyndy has been so sick is because her kidneys aren't working.

Lyndy and Luke both looked confused.

Your kidneys are like your body's garbage cans If they don't work you get really sick Ty explained.

Daddy am I going to die Lyndy asked.

Ty was shocked by the question.

No of course not sweetheart Ty said giving her his best smile.

Luke didn't say anything instead he just hugged Lyndy.
