Hospital

"Hey dude, calm down and be a man. It's not the end of the world." Alex consoled.

"Alex, tell me this is a joke." Looking at Alex with bloodshot eyes, "tell me that Ruby didn't die during childbirth? Tell me it's a lie."

Rubbing his back, "dude, what you should be thinking right now is how to raise the child without Elsa finding out."

"Where are they?" Jacob and Mathilda dashed into them.

Scrunching his brows, "what's up with the face, Kevin?" Looking at Alex, "what's wrong with your brother?"

Taking a deep breath, Alex sighed and helplessly shook his head, "Dad, Ruby died in the process of delivering the baby."

Widening their eyes and mouth in shock, Jacob and Mathilda looked at Kevin who was weeping like a baby.

Slowly falling to the ground, "oh my God, oh my dear lord." Mathilda burst into tears.

Patting his shoulders, "son, it's alright. Stop crying and tell me how is the baby? Is it a boy or girl?"

"Dad, it's a girl." He said brittle.

Taking a deep breath, Jacob sighed and helplessly shook his head.

Walking towards them with a beautiful chubby baby in her arms. "Excuse me Mr Kevin Anderson, here is your baby." The nurse said.

Carrying the baby from her, tears roll down on his chin. "Thanks." He said.

The nurse nodded and left.

Taking the baby from him, when he realized how weak Kevin was. Jacob kissed the baby's chubby cheeks and smiled. "It's okay my dear, stop crying. Your mother is gone but I promise you that you will never regret your coming to this world. I name you Phoebe."

Carrying the crying baby from him, Mathilda pets her with a sweet smile on her face. "Shh, shh, stop crying darling." Looking at Kevin, "I will take care of her myself, she's my grandchild and I promise to give her a motherly love."

Nodding his head, Kevin wiped his face and sniffed his nose. "Thanks Mom."

Cupping the baby's cheeks, "damn dude, she looks exactly like you." Alex chuckled.

"This is Kevin's photocopy, just like Justin and Nelly." Jacob added and looked at Kevin, "Kev, when she's above ten years, I want you to put her in a boarding school here in Seattle. And don't forget to always visit her, check on her and buy her presents during birthdays and Christmas holidays, okay?"

Vigorously nodding his head, "Yes Dad."
