Lauren's P.O.V.

March 26,1995.

After that emotional day I spent with Eric, I went home knowing that I couldn't be out for long because of the time my body needed to heal from having Emiya.

He wanted me to stay longer, he had told me that my company was all he longed for but he understood that I had to get back home to rest but before I left something deep inside me made me kiss his cheek &' whisper sweet loving words to him.

"I love you too. More than anything in this whole world!"  Even though he was going through a lot physically, emotionally, &' mentally, he still managed to throw that same grin, that he first greeted me with when we met, on his face.

He grabbed the palm of my hand &' placed a soft kiss on the back of it. "Call me when you get home, okay?"

I smiled softly as I agreed to do so.

I sighed as I rubbed the bridge of my nose for the 5th/6th time today. Who woulda known that was gon be my last time hearing from Eric.

By the time I had got home &' reached the telephone, Ms. Kathie called &' told me because of the tole the virus was taking upon E's body, he had been induced into a coma &' was coming towards his final hours.

Once again because I had Emiya, I couldn't take my children to take them to say their final goodbyes to their father which made me pissed off &' upset but it was all the same when Harlee took them. While they were gone, I couldn't help but to cuddle against my baby &' cry. The fact that she didn't nor won't ever get the chance to experience the love from her daddy like her siblings experienced is what hurt me the most.

The night my kids came in with Harlee, it was like they were lost.

"Hey babies!" I was trying my best to put off an positive expression as any mother would but I don't think it worked.

Harlee came in with Esiah in his arms, laying his head down on his shoulders. I can tell from the looks of it, he had an rough day &' Evonne walked by me like I wasn't at standing here at all. I could tell by how her hair was messed up, she didn't take it so well neither.

Harlee sighed, "I had to calm them down of course. It didn't take lil man long to get his composure with the help of his sippy cup &' a cuddle time from his uncle."

"What about Evie?"

"It's taking a toll on her but I believe she gon come around soon. Just give her some time &' try to relieve her tension, talk to her."

I nodded my head as I took E from Harlee's wrath. "Thanks Harlee, A lot!"

He gave me a sympathetic smile. "Of course girl, that's what I'm here for." He grab me in for a hug as he kissed me &' Esiah's foreheads. We exchanged "I love you's" before he left &' drove off into the night of L.A.

After I put Emiya &' Esiah down to sleep, I went back down stairs to see Evonne drawing a picture. Before I could say anything, I noticed she was drawing a picture of what she experienced today.

Trying to get rid of the wave of emotions that came over me, I cleared my throat easing my way to her. "Hey babygirl." I sat by her &' moved her hair from outta her face to behind her ear. As I did so I took in notice in how down she was. Usually, Evonne was the happy go lucky kind of child, always wanna participate in something. No matter if it was chore that was too much for her to do, she wants to be apart of it as well.
