Chapter 79: fear part 2
The girls go into Ryan's room, and he is laying in his crib. Emily runs over to his crib, and lowers the bar. "Ryan! wake up!" He opens his eyes and looks at his sisters who are crying.. who are dusty from the smoke.. and who are wheezy from breathing it in. "Emmy, Sophie.. why you cwy?"
"Ryan, come here.. we need to get you out of the crib."
"Mommy home?"
"No... mommy's not home.. stand up." He pulls himself up and stands by the bar.
"Climb over it."
"I fall.."
"No.. I won't let you fall.... I'll catch you."
"Pwomise?"
"I promise."
"Otay..." He climbs over and Emily and Sophie both pick him up, and put him on the ground. "Here, no we are going to put your coat on.. and your shoes... and this hat.."
"Why?"
"We are going outside."
"I no wanna... I seepy.."
"I know... but we have to.."
They all go down stairs, and smoke is pouring into the living room.. the boys are crying still.. Emily and Sophie go over to them, and start pulling the swings toward the door... "Ryan, come stand over here, by the boys.. stay right here.. we will be right back." They run back into the kitchen, and look at the flames all over the counter.. and now the wall... The kneel by there grandfathers side, and try again to wake him up... Emily starts rubbing his chest.. trying to do a sternum rub.. "What are you doing?"
"I saw mommy do this to someone.. and they woke up..... you do it too."
The window bursts, and both girls scream.... "Tata... please wake up..." Emily wipes her eyes, and then stands up, grabbing his arm.. "Now what are you doing?"
"We are going to pull him outside."
"Are you nuts? we can't move him.. hes heavy." The front door opens, and the girls hear their uncle Nate talking to Ryan... "What is on fire?"
"The kitchen." He answers.
"What?!"
"Emmy, and Sophie went there."
"You stay right here." As he makes his way into the kitchen, the girls run into him, both hysterical. "Tata won't wake up!"
"Listen to me.. I want you to go outside.. take your brothers and go sit on the front porch ok."
"No.. not until you wake tata up."
"It is not safe in here... now go." The girls nod, and then run out into the living room. Sophie holds the door open.. and Emily pulls both swings outside.. Ryan walks out, and he sits on a chair. Sophie sits next to him.. and Emily next to her.
Nate drops by his father's side, and feels for a pulse.. he still has one... He pulls him out of the kitchen, and then picks up the phone, calling the fire department, and an ambulance.
-----------------------------------
As I pull onto the street, I can see flashing lights... from a fire truck and an ambulance... we get closer and I notice that its at tata's house. I drive faster.. and Luka is opening the door even before I stop. We both get out, and see paramedics putting a stretcher into the ambulance... Nate is talking to one of them...The girls are in the yard.. a paramedic is talking to them.. a fireman is holding Ryan.. and two others have the boys... who are both crying. Emily sees me, and her and Sophie run toward Luka and I. "Mommy!" I squat down in front of them, as they both run into my arms. "Shhh..."
"He wouldn't wake up mommy... he wouldn't wake up.." Emily sobs. I turn to Luka.. and he walks toward the ambulance as Niko is climbing in. "Nate... what happened?"
"I don't know.. I walked into the house.. and it was filled with smoke.. Ryan was standing by the door.. and the boys swings were moved by the door.. they were both crying.. Ryan told me the kitchen was on fire.. and that Emily and Sophie were in there... they ran out.. crying.. saying tata won't wake up.."
"Is he ok?"
"I don't think so.... he could of had a heart attack.. or a stroke.. or something else might be wrong...they don't really know yet.."
