Xandra had decided to come and surprise Will at work. She had made him a wonderful little lunch that she planned on taking to him. The lunch consisted of homemade cookies, a sandwich and some other little goodies. Xandra was taking to taking him lunch nearly everyday. It was just something that she had wanted to do. She felt more wifely, than she had ever felt. He had recently moved in with her. She loved having him and Emily there at the house with her and Adin. When she found out she was pregnant. Her and William were over the moon. This would have been his first biological child. That never changed the fact that he loved Emily very much. She was his world. Now their family would be a family of five. Which, Xandra was completely excited about. This was something that she had always wanted. A family. Granted, she had one now with Gabby and Antonio. They were her siblings. She also had her adoptive family, but this was something totally different. This was her own little family. There had even been talk about William adopting Adin and giving him his last name. Xandra had even talked about adopting Emily. That way if anything were to happen, she would be able to keep the beautiful girl.
Stopping at the desk she dropped off some cookies from the other officers before she was allowed to go back to William’s office. She would have never expected to walk into something like what she had. If she had just came a few minutes after, maybe it would have had a different turn out. As she pushed open the door. She had startled the man holding a gun at William. He turned around quickly, his aim now on Xandra. Xandra stood frozen. Not sure what was going on. She froze completely. The woman couldn’t even speak. Her eyes were locked on the man that had the gun pointed at her. It was in that moment that she was taken back to the man back in the Dominican Republic that used to hold a gun to her as he raped her. Fear peeked in her body. The woman wasn’t even hearing anything going on around her. She was frozen in fear. Her dark hues wouldn’t show that fear though. She had managed to keep a calm composure, one that would make the man holding a gun to her think that she wasn’t scared of him even though she really was.
Everything started to happen so fast. William was rushing at her, he had managed to get to her in enough time to pull her out of the way and take the bullet. This instantly brought her back to reality. She lowered him to the floor, tears already streaming down her face. He was in pain, she could see it. The woman got him down on the floor on his side. She tried her best to put pressure on the wound but he was losing blood so quickly, she was freaking out. “William, stay with me babe.” she begged him. The man that had pulled the trigger took off running out of his office. “Help!” she hollered. Wanting to get an officer in the office. William was fading fast, she could see it. She leaned down and pressed a kiss to his forehead. “Hold on.” she said. As soon as she said that an officer was coming into the office. “Chief!” he yelled as she quickly radioed for an ambulance.
The ambulance was there quick. The medics were two that she knew very well. Elsa, and her sister Gabby. She backed up, tears still streaming down her face. Blood covered her white outfit and her hands. She was freaking out. William had lost so much blood. She just hoped that he would be able to fight this. Before she knew it, she was in the back of the ambulance, holding onto Will’s hand. Hoping that he would be strong enough to make it to the hospital. He had already lost so much blood. This couldn’t be happening. She was distraught. He couldn’t leave her now. She needed him. The baby needed him. Emily needed him. He was needed. The woman could feel the life leaving him. His hand was becoming limp in hers. “Gabby!” she yelled. Knowing her sister was the one driving. She was freaking out.
Soon enough they were at the hospital. Elsa and Gabby were quick to get him into the hospital and telling the Dr what was going on. Xandra walked in and was instructed by the nurse to sit in the waiting room that she would go and get her some towels and such to clean herself up. Xandra nodded before going to where she was instructed to go. She still was crying.
The nurse came back and helped her get cleaned up. Xandra thanked the woman and then asked her if she had heard anything about William. The woman assured her that she would tell her once she knew anything. Hearing her name, she seen Gabby and Antonio. Both of them coming over to her. The woman was completely lost. She couldn’t believe that had just happened. Who had that man been. She wasn’t sure. She could still remember what he looked like. She knew that they would want a sketch since he had shot the Chief of police. She would cross that bridge when she got to it. She was still praying that William would come out of this alright. He needed to meet his child. He needed to be there for Emily.
Gabby and Antonio stayed with her. Which she was thankful for. After about an hour of sitting in the waiting room. The nurse came out and told them that William had not survived that the damage had been too severe for them to fix. Had Xandra not been sitting down, she would have fallen down crying. Thankfully she was sitting down. She put her head in her hands. Tears streaming down her face as she sobbed. The woman was heart broken. Now, Emily would be alone. Her child would never know their father. Xandra felt arms around her and leaned into them. She wasn’t sure if it was Gabby or if it was Antonio. In that moment she didn’t care. She just wanted the comfort. She would have to go home and break the news to Emily and Adin. Xandra didn’t want to do it. This was not going to be a good Holiday season. She would just be going through them on auto pilot.
