NARRATORS POV

"Pacing doesn't help you and you know it," Rebecca tells Ashley who is on the verge of breaking down in tears. She stops for a moment after hearing the doctor tell the young lady to her right that her father died. As the lady breaks down, Ashley realizes that this could easily be her fate today. And she felt that it would purely be her fault. "If I didn't act like a jealous teenage girl, he would not have stormed off- ," she stops mid sentences as she sees the doctor approach them.

"Mrs Anoa'i your husband needs an emergency surgery. He is currently suffering from a brain hemorrhage. Please sign the forms at reception so we can start as soon as possible." Dr. McKenzie says.

After signing and confirming that he is in surgery, she goes to the hospital café where she says a short prayer for her husband. At this point, prayer was the only thing keeping her calm and giving her hope, even if it was just a little. Rebecca joined her shortly after, just as she was about to stand to leave.

"Be strong, you've conquered so much already. Do you need me to help you with anything", she asks. " No, just go home, take care of your husband and girls. I will call you if anything comes up". Ashley replies giving her friend a brief hug.

As soon as Rebecca walks in she hears her husband as he tucks the girls in with a bedtime story. She quickly finished freshening up and got ready for bed. " How was your day", her husband asks snuggling in the bed. " It was fairly fine except my brother figure was involved in an accident and my best friend fell apart, I don't even know how to comfort her. Imma be fine though. How was yours" she asks as she finally hops onto the bed. "All good, could you take the girls to their doctor's appointment tomorrow, I've got an early morning meeting".

"Are you sure that you are ok Rebecca? You are so tense love" Colby asks after a moment of silence. "Just a lot going on at the moment, I will be fine, I promise". On cue with her statement they receive a taxfron Ashley informs them that the surgery has been finished but he hasn't woken up yet. After saying a short prayer for their friends, they go to bed in each other's arms.
