Life Goes On(Pt21)
Phil held Gail's hand tightly as they led the groups into the ER waiting room. They were quickly led to another, more private room where Joe, Sav and Kelsey were waiting.
    “Anything yet?” Phil blurted out as soon as he was in the door.
    Joe didn’t stop his pacing. “The Doctors are still working on him.”
    Gail and Lillian immediately went over to Kelsey. Gail put her arm around her shoulder. “He’s going to be alright.”
    Kelsey turned her red swollen eyes to Gail. “I hope so.”
    “He will mom. Dad’s a fighter.” Lillian clasped her hand.
    Amber stopped Joe from his pacing. “I’m sorry Daddy.”
    Joe pulled her in his arms. “Oh baby, it’s not your fault. It’s no one’s fault.” He glanced over to Sav, who was leaning against the wall, hands behind his back. Then over at Nick. The two were in a glaring match.
    “I take full responsibility for thi…” Nick stared.
    “We’ll talk about it later Nick.” Joe cut him off. “The main concern right now is Vivian.”
    “Where is Alex?”
“Tiny is going to stay with him until one of us gets back.” Amber mumbled against Joe’s chest.
    Silence fell in the room. Nobody knew what to say or were thinking about Vivian. Almost an hour went by before the doctor came in to talk to them.
    “Ehh…Campbell.” He glanced around the room at everyone.
    Kelsey quickly stood and went to him.
    “I’m Mrs. Campbell.”
    He rattled something off in French. A bemused frown crossed Kelsey’s face. The doctor was shaking his head. “….English.”
    Nick quickly stepped forward, squeezing her shoulder. “He doesn’t speak English.” Nick turned to him and spoke in French.
    The doctor looked relieved and related what information he could give them. Nick would translate and tell the others. The last few questions, no one needed a translation from Nick. The doctor waited a few minutes for Nick to tell them.
    “They’ve done everything they can. He’s awake off and on, but very weak.” Nick turned to face Sav. “He’s asking for you and Kelsey.”
    “Why me? It should be Lillian.”
    “He was very persistent that you come.”
    “You tell the doctor that we are all going in. We’ll give Kelsey and Sav five minutes to be with him.” Joe told Nick.
    Nick told him, then back to the group. “He said that it’s to many people. Only two at a time.”
    “Too bad.” Joe shot back.
    The doctor understood the force in Joe’s words and gave his consent for all of them. Sav took Kelsey’s hand and followed the doctor to Vivian’s room. He had to demonstrate that he was in and out of consciousness and Sav picked up what he was trying to say.
    Kelsey moved to the side of the bed and took his hand. “Vivian can you hear me?” Sav stood on the other side staring down at his friends pale face.
    Vivian opened his eyes. “Kels…”
    “I’m here baby.”
    He reached up and caressed her face. “Kels…I…lov…”
”I know…don’t try to talk.” Vivian brushed the tear from her cheek.
    “Sav…”
    “Right here.”
    Vivian slowly turned his head, then tried to take off the oxygen mask. Sav helped him, then held his hand.
    “Not your….fault.”
”Yes it was.”
    “No….I shouldn’t have….tried to stop…..don’t blame…” Vivian swallowed and frowned. “Not your fault.” His eyes closed and Sav put the oxygen mask back on so he could breath. He heard the flutter in his heart before the monitor even picked it up.
    The five minutes elapsed. Sav and Kelsey looked up as the others filed in. Lillian went to stand by Kelsey, placing her hand over both of theirs.
    Joe held Sav’s eyes, he saw and felt the sadness from him and quickly glanced down at Vivian. Joe hesitantly stepped over to the bed and took his hand from Sav. He bent over searching Vivian’s pale face.
    “Hey, Viv how are you doing?”
    His only response was a weak grip.
    “Vivian let me bring you across.” Joe asked.
    Seconds ticked by before he shook his head, his heart fluttered again.
    “Please Viv…you can’t leave us.” Joe’s voice almost broke.
    Lillian knew of her father’s resistance to be brought across. But it still didn’t stop her from asking. “Dad please.”
    Joe tried again, hearing his heartbeat getting weaker and weaker. “Let me Viv…please. I can’t do it unless you agree.”
    Once again he shook his head, just enough to let Joe see that he didn’t want to.
   “Joe…” Kelsey broke the silence. “Do it…”
”I can’t…not without…”
”Please Joe.”
”Its forbidden Kelsey you know that. Even if Joe did it against his wishes he won’t come back.” Nick spoke up.
    “The hell with The Code.”
Joe reached across and took her hand in his. “Vivian, I have to ask one more time. Let me bring you across.” His voice did break this time, knowing he wouldn’t get answer. Joe reached up and brushed away the tear that slid down the side of Vivian’s face, then leaned up and kissed his forehead. Joe stood, saw several hands out of the corner of his eyes land in random places on Vivian’s legs, heard softly spoken words. Sav crossed his over his chest and turned to stare out the window, listening to Vivian's heart slow, then nothing and his last shallow breath.
    Kelsey let out a heart-wrenching sob and dropped her head down. Lillian hugged her mother’s shoulder, laying her head against hers and let the tears come.
    Amber turned into Rick’s shoulder, Gail did the same with Phil. Thomas held Amanda and Tracy to his chest. Mal went over to Kelsey and Lillian, his own tears running freely down his face to give what confront he could. Nick stood in the background, he too let the tears fall.
    The doctor came in a few minutes later and turned off the machines, removed the oxygen mask and stopped the drips going into Vivian’s arms. He quietly left the group to mourn for their friend, husband and father.
