I showed Dad the text. We all stood. I moved toward the PICU entry, like I was going to physically block Mom from going in there from the elevator. I took a deep breath. It’d be a huge struggle to get her to accept reality.

The elevator's arrow lit up in red. The doors slid open, and there was Mom, clutching her purse, with her face already crumpled and her eyes wet.

She stepped forward, into the lobby, and then just looked from Rachel to Dad to me, as if begging us to tell her it was something else.

“Oh.” It wasn’t a word, just a long sound of hurt. She burst into tears and put up her hands. “I know. I know.”

Then Dad hugged her and they both sobbed. As I stood there watching my parents trying—and failing, utterly—to comfort each other, I knew: Beep was coming home.

To die.
