If Tomorrow Never Comes
Chapter 6
Jerald turned his head,looking at Ann, his eyes full of worry. She reached over, taking his hand in her own, grasping it tightly. Brian moaned, as sweat poured from his forehead. Jerald looked back,"Brian, buddy, were almost there" he said, as his voice was shaky. Ann finally turned the corner, into the parking lot. She looked at her husband,who nodded. Jerald stepped out of the car, opening the door, carefully grabbing Brian. Kevin tried to step out of the car,wanting to go with his father. Jerald looked at his son,"You stay with momma." He told him, walking off with Brian in his arms. Kevin sat back in the seat, as tears threatened to fall. Ann quickly parked the car. She looked at her son,"Come on baby, let's go." She told him. She stepped out of the car. Kevin shook his head, as the tears fell from his eyes.Ann put her hands on her hips."Kevin,please come out of this car,we need to see your cousin, I don't have time right now to sit here and fight about it, just get out of the car," she said. Kevin nodded, as he slowly stepped out of the car. Ann sighed, as she looked at her son, so sad. She took his hand in hers as they both walked through the hospital doors.
They scanned the waiting room, their eyes landed on Jerald, holding Brian in the corner of the room. Ann walked up to them, sitting down. She caressed Brian's cheek."How are you doing baby?"Brian moaned in pain. A nurse came into the waiting room,"Brian Littrell?" she asked. Jerald stood up, holding Brian against his chest. "Come this way please" Jerald followed the nurse into the hall, laying Brian onto the streacher. Brian cried out to him,"Hey buddy,you're going to be fine, you're a big boy now, right?" Jerald asked, trying not to cry in front of Brian. Brian nodded, as tears fell from his tiny eyes."Big boys can handle anything," Jerald whispered as he caressed Brian's forehead. The nurse padded him on the shoulder, he nodded stepping back, watching Brian being pushed away. He walked back into the waiting room, as he sat down next to his wife, he wept. Ann rubbed his shoulder, as tears came into her own eyes.
