Once I got to the hospital with the twins, i held each of their hands leading them to the room Nik was in.

When we walked in, Jaden looked over and smiled at the twins. It was like he had completely calmed down. Charli was still a mess though. Her eyes were puffy and her face a little red.

"Uncle Jaden! Aunt cha cha!" The twins smiled and said while running over to them.

"Hey you little stinkers!" Jaden said with a smile.

The twins giggled.

I sat down on the same chair I have been sitting in for the past week, right next to Nicole. I held her hand and just waited for her to wake up.

Maggie came next to me and said "what happened to mommy?"

I frowned and lifted her onto my lap, then said "mommy got hurt. She is taking a nice long nap."

Maggie just nodded. I could tell she was upset about this, even though she's not too sure what exactly is going on.

We've been sitting in here for a while now. The twins had their iPad to watch their cartoons on, Charli finally managed to get some sleep, and I was going to make a post on Instagram about everything that's happened.

@joshrichards: here's a pic of me and Maggie to help make this better. Currently, we are all waiting around the hospital for Nicole to get better. Unfortunately, someone decided it was a great idea to set our house in fire last week in the middle of the night. Nicole got everyone out, then came back in noticing I wasn't outside. While we were getting out, the ceiling collapsed onto Nicole. Luckily, everyone else is ok. Now we just have to wait it out and pray for the best.. send your prayers that everything can go back to normal 🥺❤️

@jadenhossler: 🥺

↪️@joshrichards: your gonna make me cry Charli 🙈

After I posted the picture, I was just sitting there looking through my phone, holding Nicole's hand.

"Mommy!" Finn said with a smile and pointing at Nik.

I looked over to her and saw her eyes open. She looked around and immediately hugged me. I held onto her and said "your ok.. you scared the living shit out of me.."

"I-I'm sorry." She said very softly.

The twins got up and started coming over, running.

"Be gentle.." I said to them. They just giggled at me.

Nik smiled as each twin took their turn hugging her.

Next, jaden gave her a hug. She definitely knew something was bothering him. His veins were still popping more than usual.

"What's your problem?" She asked Jaden in a joking tone. He laughed and said "a lot of things. One being jackson setting the house on fire."

~Nicole's pov~

"Jackson what?!" I said trying to keep my cool. I'm not surprised.. what else is new.

"You heard me right. I can't believe this kid. I'm going to find him and k-..." jaden started to say, but josh cut him off by reminding him the twins are here.

Next, Charli gave me a hug. She hugged me for a long time. We both started to cry. Its insane to think that we all have nothing left besides eachother.
