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.

Callum stood there momentarily, watching them disappear down the corridor before he finally turned and walked off in a different direction, alone.

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. Sensing their presence, Josh fought to open his heavy eyelids and removed the oxygen mask in an effort to speak.

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

Josh spoke with a bittersweet tone, "When I'm gone, don't be sad. Everyone has their time, but I wish I could've seen your kids. 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..."
