Quinn - Year 22


"Moo moo!" Finn giggled as he hit the keys on his xylophone. 


"Yes, music!" Shianne smiled at her grandson.


"You've got it!" Shianne said confidently letting go of Jess's hands.  


Jess plopped her feet down awkwardly.


"That's Grandma's big girl!" Shianne exclaimed lifting the giggling toddler in the air. 


While Shianne played with the children upstairs,Quinn waited for Sonny and Charles to come home downstairs.The two soldiers were later than usual. She expected it had been another busy day. Both she, and especially Rayna, were anxious to get back to their careers. Only a few more days and they would be cleared and ready to go on patrols once again. 


Sonny quietly entered the house. "Rayna's in the backyard with my Dad, and Finn's upstairs with my Mom!" She said happily, waiting for Charles to follow. 


Sonny was alone.


"Where's Charles?" Quinn asked.

Her stomach plummeted when she saw Sonny's face. 


"I'm so sorry Quinn," Sonny said softly.


"Where's Charles?" Quinn asked again, she could feel her eyes starting to burn.

"I don't know how to tell you this..."

"Just do it!' Quinn exclaimed trying to keep herself calm. She couldn't jump to conclusions...not yet. She wasn't sure that he was...

"He's gone." Sonny said silencing her thoughts. 


"How?"

"We were on patrol...and he fell...and I couldn't help him...they got him."
