His comment made me smile.

"That's the Patrick I fell in love with..."

"Come on, let's get you warm," I told her. "And I'll have the kids brought here to see you before you into surgery."

I nodded and stood up, following him inside.

I had already come back inside while Emily and Patrick talked it out. I offered them a sad smile as they both walked back inside.

I made a phone call to Spinelli, telling him to have the kids ready to go in an hour when I got there.

The doctors took me into a room and got me prepped for surgery. I kept thinking about how wrong this was, that Christmas was one hour away, and I'd be in surgery when it happened. This was my daughter's first Christmas, and she'd spend it in a hospital.

"Jami, will you stay with Em while I get the kids?" I asked.

"Of course, Patrick." I replied.

I went and picked the kids up. Lucas and Hope were wide awake by the time we got to the hospital, but Zack was still drowsy, while he kept Lucas in his lap.

"Look who's here to see you," I said as I brought them to Emily's room."

I smiled at the kids as they walked in.

"Merry Christmas! I'm so glad you guys came to see me..."

"Mama," Lucas said as he reached out for her as Zack held onto his little brother.

Zack smiled as he waved shyly at Emily.

I smiled at Zack. I was really glad he was here. Then I reached out my arms, ready to take Lucas for a few minutes before they came to get me for the surgery.

"Come here, little man... give me a big hug."

"Mama," Lucas said as he climbed into his mother's arms.

Zack looked at Emily holding Lucas and got a little jealous. He never really had a real mother like Lucas had.

Emily looked at Zack.

"I had a special Christmas present for you at home, Zack. If you go under my bed, it's waiting there for you, so you can open it when you get there."

Zack just stared down into his lap, not wanting her to see him cry.

Patrick held Hope, taking her over to Emily as Lucas hugged his mother, not wanting anyone else to have her love.

Emily kissed Lucas and moved him over to one side, trying to free an arm to hold Hope.

"Lucas... kiddo, it's okay. You can let me see the baby."

"My Mama," Lucas said as he hugged her. Patrick laughed as he helped put Hope into Emily's arms. "It's alright, big guy, Emily's got plenty of love for all of you."

Zack wheeled his chair outside, and started crying, not wanting anyone to see. He'd learned of Noah's death, and couldn't be strong about it anymore.

Emily took Hope into her arms and looked at the door after Zack left.

"Patrick... go..."

I watched as Zack wheeled himself out of the room. I put a hand on Patrick's arm. "I've got him." I said, my voice not more than a whisper. I walked out of the room and went looking for Zack. I kinda knew what he was going through with the loss of my dad.

The tears poured out of Zack's eyes as he sat there, not wanting his grandfather to be dead.


"Emily," Patrick told her. "I think he misses Aaron."

"He's been through so much. Losing you, then losing Aaron, now Noah. That's not even taking into consideration all the medical stuff. I really think that he's going to need some more help than we can give him."

Hope started fussing and crying in Emily's arms. She cradled her close and tried to calm her down.

I found Zack and went straight to him. The tears flowing freely from his eyes had me starting up again. But I tried my best to keep them in check. Right now, I needed to be there for him. I could mourn for my father later. I stooped down to where we were eye to eye and placed my hand softly on his knee.

"I don't know what to do for him," Patrick told her. "Between Lucas and Hope, I don't have as much time for him as I used to."


Zack looked at Jami with tears in his eyes, just wanting all the pain to go away.

"This sucks.." Emily groaned.

"I'm going to be making you take care of them basically on your own after this surgery."

I stood up and wrapped both arms around Zack, allowing him to cry into my shoulder.
