~~~ zackys pov ~~~

all five of us were assembled in Matt's hotel room, a black cloud looming over all of us as we sat in a somber silence. He gathered us all here over two hours ago, saying that Frankie is in the hospital but he doesn't know what happened. Just that Val had called him in a panic. We've all been calling around trying to find some way to get back to huntington as soon as possible. we were waiting for a call back from one of our friends that happened to have his own private jet, but still haven't heard back. my stomach started to churn as my nerves and guilt meshed together. I was worried sick just at the fact she was in the hospital, but it made it ten times worse that we had no idea why. I jumped up from my spot on the couch and headed to the bathroom. I walked in locking the door behind me and turning on the sink. I leaned my head down splashing the cool water in my face, raising my head I peered at my face in the mirror. I felt like a zombie. I seemed alive on the outside, but I felt dead within. It seemed like I just made one horrible choice after another, I was a fucking train wreck. And the fact that I let Angela talk me Into getting engaged just drives my point home even more. What the fuck was I thinking?? My mind kept flashing back to when I walked in seeing Frankie and Brian all over each other. And then to find out their engaged just sent me over the edge. I still can't look him in the face, I didn't want to start a bunch of drama while we're on tour so I've just kept my distance for the time being.

" zacky! Come on we got a flight out, we gotta go!" Matt yelled from the living room. I shut off the water and headed out to grab my bag as we all filed out of the hotel. Our friend Tom had gotten back to Matt and was gracious enough to lend us his pilot and jet to get us back home. Matt called Val once we landed letting her know we would be there shortly. Luckily the runway we landed at wasn't too car from the hospital, only about ten minutes and Tom already called ahead to have a car waiting for us once we arrived. it seemed as if everything from that moment on went by in the blink of an eye. In no time we were walking through the hospital doors being met by a devistated looking Val. Her face was tear stained and drawn with stress.

" thank god!" She sighed running over into Matt's arms, where she broke down into tears as he held her. My chest tightened up in fear and also at the sight of seeing Val so upset.

" have they said what's going on?" Brian squeaked out breaking the silence we've had going amongst each other for the past three hours. Val peeked up from Matt's chest, blinking through the tears.

" They haven't told me anything yet" she softly said. Just then a older looking gentleman in a white lab coat came over towards us.

" I'm dr. Schultz, if you all will follow me I will explain ms. Perez's condition" he said leading us back to his office closing the door once everyone was in. We all stared intently at him as he stood before us crossing his arms over his chest.

" It seems ms. Perez has had a minor heart attack due to a severe raise in blood pressure. When she came in she had slipped into a coma, she is stable at the moment but still has not regained conciousness. They are now running tests on the babies to make sure they haven't been affected" he stated very matter of factly. We all stared in a state of shock as every word slowly sunk in.

" if you would all like to go see her ill take you down there. But please even though she is in a coma she possibly can still hear, so please be aware of what you say. We can't risk her blood pressure spiking again due to stress" he said. Still no one spoke. He lead us down to her room as we all slowly stepped in gasping at the sight. There she was layed in the bed looking so frail and weak. Tubes and machines hooked up all over her. The steady beep of heartbeat was all that echoed throughout the room. No one knew what to say or do. We all felt helpless and couldn't stand seeing her like this. Without warning the steady beep suddenly fell to one note, setting off an alarm. Within seconds the doctor and two nurses stormed in the room with a crash cart. We all jumped out of the way as I felt my heart leap into my throat and I could hear Val begin to sob as the doctor rubbed the panels together and lowering them to Frankie's chest.

~~~ Frankie's pov ~~~

one minute there was nothing but black and the next I felt myself raise out of my body, floating above as I watched the scene below. My body was laying in a hospital bed as what I assumed was a doctor laying panels to my chest, attempting to jerk my heart back to life. Amongst all the devistation in the room was my family. Val, Matt, jimmy, Johnny, Brian and zacky. As I looked down on everything I only felt sorrow for them, that they were so upset by what was unfolding infront of them. As for myself I felt at peace as the a soft glow radiated towards me bringing me closer Into it. With a few steps I was surrounded by a tunnel of clouds as I kept walking towards the bright inviting light that called to me. I stopped momentarily when I saw a shilouhette of a man making his way towards me.

" daddy" I said softly in a mix of astonishment and disbelief. As he came closer I could make out his features better. The wrinkles that once adorned his face were gone. He looked refreshed and renewed with a soft heavenly glow that radiated around him.

" Yes baby, it's me" he beamed, reaching towards me as I leaped into his arms never wanting to let go. Everything felt so right, I didn't want to leave, I wanted to go with him.

" We're finally back together daddy" I smiled, laying my head on his chest. He hugged me tighter as I heard him sigh.

" I love you with every part of me Frankie and I would love for you to stay with me. But it's not your time yet baby. You have to go back" he said, I pulled away slightly as he took my face gently into his hands. I stared up at him as I felt the tears begin to form in my eyes.

" You have to go make things right, and you have two beautiful baby girls growing inside you that need their mom" he smiled.

" their girls? I'm having baby girls?!" I gasped out. He chuckled lightly nodding in response. A smile spread across my face as I ran my hands over my round stomach.

" I love you Frankie, and ill see you again, but not anytime soon. " he said as he pulled me close to him once again hugging me tight. A tear trickled down my cheek as I fought the fact that I had to say goodbye.

" I love you too daddy!" I cried out as he smiled and turned walking back Into the glow from which he came.

" oh and try and take it easy on Brian and zacky. They do mean well deep down. And tell them if they mess up again ill come haunt them" he chuckled jokingly as he turned and vanished right before my eyes and he was gone......
