~~~ Brian's pov ~~~

we all just stood as statues while the doctor worked vigorously to bring Frankie back. It felt like the oxygen was being sucked from the room each time he put the panels to her chest and nothing happened. After ten minutes of trying to revive her the doctor sighed deeply, hanging his head as he layed the panels back down on the cart.

" call it" he said to one of the nurses. My mouth dropped open, not able to handle the reality of this, he didn't succeed, Frankie was gone. I wanted to yell and scream, say something. But I couldn't speak, I couldn't move as the shock paralyzed my body.

" Time of death, two thirty seven a.m. " the nurse said as she jotted it down on her clipboard. after, her and the other nurse left the room pulling the cart along with them.

" Please, take your time" the doctor somberly said leaving the room so we could pay our last respects. I could feel my heart breaking to pieces as I fell to my knees, breaking down completely. I could now hear the uncontrollable sobs coming from the others behind me as it all came crashing down on us. I felt zacky kneel down beside me, pulling me into a hug as we both cried together. The saying rang so true in that moment, that you don't know what you have till its gone. Not only did we lose Frankie, but also more than likely our children as well. It was way too early for them to survive on their own. All the pety arguments and jealousies that have consumed us this whole time seemed so foolish and ridiculous. And it killed me even more that I couldn't say I was sorry or tell her that I love her. It was too late........


~~~ Frankie's pov ~~~

" daddy, come back! Please come back!" I wept as he vanished into the heavenly glow. I ran after him, chasing the light as it began to fade as well as the clouds that once surrounded me. As I ran they slowly broke away, piece by piece exposing me to the hospital room once again as I now stood on one single cloud observing the scene below. As much as I wanted to stay in peace with my father I couldn't be so selfish. This happened for a reason, not everybody dies and gets a second chance at life. Maybe I needed this to open my eyes to how fortunate and blessed I really am. I had to live for my daughters, so they can have a chance at life. And I can't let my family standing before me go through this pain. I felt my broken heart mend it's self together as a smile adorned my face. The cloud below my feet faded away as my soul plummeted down into my lifeless body. The blood raged through my veins, kick starting my heart to life. I greedily gasped in a lungful of air as my eyes snapped open. I could hear the machines around me buzz back to life as it registered my heart beat. All the sobs ceased while they stared in astonishment. Without warning all six of them came rushing over to my beside hugging and kissing me, talking all at once. I was back where I needed to be, with the people that love me as much as I love them. The doctor burst through the door running to my bed side. Instantly checking me over completely in disbelief.

" welcome back" he smiled, like he didn't know what else to say. I couldn't blame him, I doubt this happens Everyday. He stepped out of the room leaving us alone to continue our reunion. I gently took zacky and Brian's hands in mine.

" When I get out of here we need to paint the nursery. I hope you guys like pink" I beamed as everyone stared at me questionably.

" but we haven't found out the sex yet" zacky stuttered out in confusion. I chuckled, squeezing their hands.

" Alittle birdie told me" I said, gazing up sending my father a smile and a wink. I could tell by the looks on their face that they didn't know if I was out of my mind or not. But not even five minutes ago I was pronounced dead and now I'm alive, so I didn't mind the unsure glances. There was a faint knock on the door, followed by the doctor making his way back in the room.

" I just wanted to let you all know that the babies are perfectly healthy, they weren't affected at all" he said. We all took one huge sigh of relief at his news.

" And if your interested I know the sexes as well" he smiled, waving the folder full of answers in his hand. We all shook our heads vigorously begging him to devulge the information.

" Congratulations, your having two baby girls" he said, as everyone slowly turned their heads back to me in shock that I already knew. I just smiled and rubbed my belly.

" Like I said, lots of pink"
