Chapter One: There's an accident

As the limousine is slowly moving down the path from the house, Brian notices a police car coming up from the opposite direction.

"Brian, why would the police be here? You didn't do anything illegal to get us married did you?"

"Not that I fucking know of. I guess we better check it out. We better not miss our fucking flight, or I'll be sending a bill to these assholes."

As the cruiser passes Brian tells the driver to turn around.

When they get back to the house Michael and the rest see the cop car, with the limo right behind it and get curious.

Brian gets out of the limo at the same time as the two officers exit their squad car.

"Can I help you officers? I'm trying to go on my honeymoon, so please make this quick."

"We're sorry to interrupt things", the first officer states. "I guess everyone had their cell phones off for the occasion." The second officer adds, "We're looking for a Mr. Brian Kinney or a Mr. Michael Novotny."

"Mikey", Brian shouts, "What have you done to warrant a police visit. Don't you know I'm trying to get to fucking Ibiza?"

Michael comes down the steps followed by everyone else.

"I'm Brian Kinney and that's Michael Novotny-Bruckner", he points. "What's going on?"

Michael walks up as the first officer says, "There's been an accident. You two were listed as the emergency contacts. We called Mr. Novotny's house and we were given this address by your son."

Brian feels like someone just punched him in the stomach as he comes to the realization. "Fuck! It's Mel and Linz."

The second officer confirms it. "Yes, one Melanie Marcus, Lindsey Peterson-Marcus and two small children; one boy and one infant girl."

By this time word is spreading through the crowd and Debbie & the gang step forward. "What happened?" she asks.

The first officer spoke, "They were driving through an intersection when a semi-truck ran the red light and slammed into them and flipped the car several times."

"Holy shit!" seems to come from everyone at the same time.

"Are they hurt badly? What hospital did they get taken too?" Michael is quick to ask.

Back to the second officer, "I am very sorry to have to inform you that Ms. Marcus was pronounced dead at the scene. It seems that she took the brunt of the collision. Ms. Peterson-Marcus' head was slammed through the passenger side window. She was unconscious but alive when they took her to the hospital. The children seemed to have been restrained very well. They had some lacerations due to broken glass, and possibly some bruising or broken bones. They were alert and responsive at the scene. They have all been taken to UPMC. If you follow us, we have another squad car at the end of the road. We'll try to get you there as quickly as possible."

"Let's go! I think we can all fit in the limo. Mikey snap the hell out of it. We have to go." Brian barks

Debbie shakes her son and they all head for the limo.

"I'll stay here and clear everyone out" Emmett suggests. "As soon as everyone is gone, I'll meet you there."

"Thanks Em", Justin says as he climbs into the car.

While the trip seems like it is taking forever they all begin to talk.

Michael is finally coming out of his shock. "I can't believe it. Did he really say that Melanie is dead? How can she just be dead?"

Ben tries to comfort him. "I don't know Baby. We'll find out more when we get to the hospital. Try not to think about it too much."

Brian takes offence to this. "What the fuck are you talking about? Our kids and their mothers were just in a fucking accident. How the Hell are we supposed to not think about it. You're a damn idiot professor."

"Brian, calm down. He's just trying to help. This is hard for all of us. We all thought of Melanie as family." Justin is saying this as calmly as possible in an attempt to cool Brian's temper.

Carl interjects, "Let's all try to stay calm. Saying a prayer for Lindsey and the kids is what you should all be doing right now"

Debbie concurs, "Carl's right" and she begins to pray. Even Brian prays that everyone else is okay. Justin takes Brian's hand and gently rubs his back. He sees the look on Brian's face and the unshed tears in his eyes and realizes that this is probably the way he was the night of the bashing. Nobody says another word for the rest of the ride to the hospital.

As they are driving they see Mel and Lindsey's car being turned over by a tow truck crew. It's all crushed in on the driver's side.

"Oh my God, that's their car! The fact that anyone survived is a miracle." Debbie couldn't keep quite after that sight. "God please let Lindsey and the kids be alright."

"Damn fucking truck drivers, never watch where there going. Stupid asshole, I hope he went flying through the damn windshield and slammed into a concrete wall"

"BRIAN, what good is that going to do. Please don't get so angry, we don't need you to have a heart attack on top of everything else."

"I'm sorry Justin, but I can't help it. I won't calm down until I know my son is okay, Lindsey too."

Next up will be Chapter Two: At the Hospital. I'm not sure how many chapters this will be, but Brian and Justin will always be together. Thanks for reading and I hope this story doesn't upset you too much.

This is my first foray off the beaten past, so I'm not sure how bad or good you will think it is. Hopefully as I write more stories, I will improve.
