Jack's: POV

A doctor came and he looked sadly at us. "How's Esme, how is my daughter?" I asked worried. She asked me to sit down on the couch and mom put her hand on my shoulder.

I saw the pain in the doctor's eyes and a tear were rolling down my cheek. Her words turned into a silent echo. She took my hands and I couldn't speak or move.

"Your daughter's heart stopped beating. The staff did everything they could, but it was too late. They couldn't save her life. Esme is dead." said the doctor.

Vlad's: POV

"Nooo." screamed Jack. "Jack wake up, you've a nightmare." I said. He opened his eyes and saw me. "Vlad." he replied and hugged me. I hugged him back and he cried.  "Max." replied Jack. "She's alive." I said. We went up to her bed and tears filled my eyes. She was sleeping and she hugged her Boo doll.

"Daddy, papa." said Esme in her sleep. "Yes sweetie." I said. "Can you read Peter Pan for me?" she asked. "Of course I can." I said.

"Thank you." she said. I sat down on a chair and read Peter Pan for her. Esme smiled softly. "All children, except one, grow up." I said. "I love that quote." she replied. "Me too." I said.
