Everett wasted no time, striding purposefully toward the Intensive Care Unit. His steps were long and urgent. Selena quickly followed in his wake, trying to calm her racing heart.

Inside the hospital room, the scene was somber. Josh lay there, hooked up to all sorts of machines, an oxygen mask covering his face. His skin was pale, almost ghostly, and the sight of him pulled at the heartstrings of anyone who saw him. Everett and Selena reached his bedside.

His voice was raspy, but he managed to take their hands and press them together with a firm grip.

Promise me you'll take care of each other and bring some little ones into the Bennett family. Fill the house with laughter, okay?" Tears streamed down Selena's cheeks. Her words were caught in her throat.

With a look of hope, Josh turned to Everett. "Everett, promise me, or I won't rest easy..."
