(i suggest listening to ‘Cold’ by Aqualung and Lucy Schwartz to kinda give it the full effect)
(Warning: Death and sadness annnddd pretty short)

"Philip please, think this through!" Emmeline grabs Philip's arm stopping him from walking out the door. He stares deep into her eyes and then kisses her goodbye, "No one disrespects my father like that." his jaw clinches together and opens the door. "Daddy daddy look!" Camille shows Philip a drawing she had finished. She looks at her father curiously standing at the door. "Daddy going to another meeting?" she asks. "Yes baby, daddy will be right back. Okay?" he kneels down in front of his daughter and hugs her tightly. "Bye daddy! I'll miss you." she smiles.
"Please come back." Emmeline places her hand on her husubands cheek. "I promise." he kisses her hand and is out the door.
Philip hadn't come home like he promised...
A loud knock drew Emmeline's attention away from her book. Camille was taking her afternoon nap, the maid in the kitchen washing dishes. Emmeline walks over to the door and opens it just enough for her to look out the door. There stands one of her husbands friends covered in, blood? "Mrs. Hamilton, it's Philip." Her heart dropped down to her stomach, eyes immediately welling with tears. She took a shaky breath in and covered her mouth as tears began to fall. "Miss, he doesn't have long." he says softly. She quietly sobs more, nodding. "One moment please." she manages to say. Shutting the door Katherine, the maid, stands with a saddened face. "I will go wake Camille." she turns, slowly making her way to the child's room. Once Camille is ready they both follow the man to the carriage. "Mommy where are we going?" Camille's tired voice asks her mother.
"Baby, we have to say goodbye to daddy." she strokes her daughters brown curls.
"Where is he going?" she asks curiously.
She takes in a shaky breath trying not to cry, "Daddy's going to heaven baby." her voice breaks and tears fall.
"I don't want daddy to go to heaven." Camille furrows her eyebrows and begins to cry. All Emmeline can do is hold her small child and try to comfort her the best she can. Once they make it to the small home they both get out. There's another carriage, indicating his parents were already here, and a small cart with blood on it. Emmeline shuts her eyes and continues forward. As soon as she opens the front door she's met with tear stained faces. Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton, the doctor, and one other man. Her mother-in-law is the first one to rush over to her hugging her tightly. "He's been asking for you two." she whispers. Emmeline and Camille walk over to the man they both loved. "Daddy." Camille cries.
"Hey there baby girl." Philip smiles weakly shakily raising his hand and rubbing her cheek.
"Don't go dad." tears run down her face. His eyes tear up and he lets out a shaky sob, "I will always be with you darling child."
His eyes then shift to his wife. "My love." he smiles. Eliza and Alexander take Camille outside just leaving the two.
"Oh My Philip." she sinks to her knees and weeps.
"Be strong, have courage, and raise our daughter into the woman you are today." her husband says.
All she can do is weep. "Philip. Please don't go. I can't raise two children all alone!"
"W-what." his eyes well up again and a smile appears.
"I'm pregnant." Emmeline cries.
A cough escapes his lips, making her shoot her head up and frantically look at her husband.
"My dearest, you're my best friend, my wife, and the mother of my beautiful child. I pray this one has your beauty and kind heart." he takes her hand and holds it up to his cold trembling lips.
"And I pray this child has your wit and charming personality." Emmeline says stroking his cheek.
His breaths begin to quicken, "I-I love you, always," he takes a deep breath "remember that."
With that he takes his last breaths and his eyes close. The hand in Emmelines' going limp. She cries out and sobs on her husbands lifeless body.
