Caller ID: Kyle
"Hey Baby, you'll never believe what news I just got!"
"Ma'am, this is the Germantown Hospital, our paramedics have your husband in an ambulance. We were told to call his wife Katherine. I'm assuming that's you?"
"Yes."
"You're husband's been shot Ms. Warren. We're not sure he's going to live. I suggest you get here as soon as possible."
The phone dropped from her hands. She couldn't breathe. Shot. Hospital. Not going to live. The words all swirled in her head. She couldn't process them. How could she go from being so unbearably happy one moment, to having her heart completely and utterly break in the next?
"Ma'am? Ma'am? Mrs. Warren?" The paramedics didn't get an answer. She called a cab, getting to the hospital just after the ambulance. She saw her husband on a stretcher, being taken into the building.
"Please! I'm his wife." She shouted at them. She ran to him, he was covered in blood. He was still conscious, miraculously.
"A kid brought a gun to school. Never knew he hated me that m-m-uch." He sputtered out, between convulsing.
"I'm pregnant" She blurted out, not knowing what else to do.
"I'm going to be a dad... always tell the kid how much I love them. I love you, always and forever." He was being wheeled along the halls of the hospital, being rushed to the emergency room, but it was too late. He was gone then... gone.
