Re: "MaCalleigh....What should've been".
******TISSUE ALERT******
When the boy's dropped off Mac, Macalleigh, and Calleigh, he asked Flack to grab his wife, while he carried Macalleigh. With gentle care, Flack lifted Calleigh into his arms, and carried her into the house. "Just put her in our room, I'll take care of her in a minute". Placing Calleigh in her bed, Flack left the room, and said..."I'll see you tomorrow Mac". "Hold up Don, I need to go too the office, we'll take Macalleigh with us, that way Calleigh can rest".
After Mac had Macalleigh changed, he passed her to Don. "Take her back to the car, I'll be out in a minute". Heading into his room, he shook Calleigh awake. "Sweetheart, sweetheart". "Mmm....what is it Mac"? "I've got to go too the office, I'll be back shortly, I'm taking Macalleigh with us". "Oh Mac, leave her home with me please, I don't want her out this time of night". "She'll be fine love, don't worry, we'll be back soon".
Kissing Calleigh for what felt like the last time to her, he left. "Okay guy's let's go, I want to get back". Driving down, the boy's were chatting about all the action Mac had missed, and as Danny turned his head for one moment *CRASH*....all that could be heard was silence.
"What have we got"? asked the EMT's. "Four victim's, three adult male's and one child, all critical". As the EMT's worked on Mac, Flack and Don, the other EMT's worked on Macalleigh. "She's not breathing, I need the paddles over hear, NOW!!! As Sheldon and Lindsay arrived, they noticed the car right away. "Oh my God, Call Calleigh Sheldon, hurry".
Dialing Mac's number Calleigh answered. "Hello". "Calleigh it's Sheldon, there's been an accident". "What, with who"? "With Mac, Danny, Flack, and Macalleigh". "NOOOOOOOOOOoooooo......oh my God, I told him not to take her, this can't be happening". "Listen Calleigh, I'm coming to get you, stay calm". When they arrived on scene, Calleigh seen Don, and Danny, alert, with cuts, and bruises. "Where's Macalleigh and Mac"? "Mac's fine, he went to check on Macalleigh".
Running to Mac, she seen his arm wrapped up, and bruises on his face, and then she looked and seen them working on Macalleigh. "Noooooooooo, God no, not my baby, please God, not my baby". As Mac tried to calm her, she pulled away, and said...."this is all your fault, I told you not to take her, you didn't listen, you didn't listen, get away, just get away". Mac could see the tears, the angst, mixed with his. "I'm sorry sweetheart, please forgive me, I'm sorry".
"We've got a pulse, but we need to move with her now, make sure you brace her, and do not move her neck, on my count, 1, 2, 3....very carefully lifting the dainty child into the Ambulance, Calleigh got in with them. "I'll meet you there love". Not looking or responding, Calleigh turned away, and prayed that her daughter would live.
"It's going to be okay Mac, she's just upset". "No..she's right Danny, it's my fault, if my daughter dies, it's my fault". With tears streaming down his face, he headed over to the Hospital.
