Tombstone Estate

[Doc Holliday]

She had found her way back to Tombstone. As she came through the door, she was in tears and upon the sight of her father, she began to cry uncontrollably.
"Emiko," Doc said kindly as she entered, placing her bag on the floor by the door. The young Kusari girl ran to her father as an escort stopped by the door and stood aside quietly to allow the young girl to be with her father.

Doc held his daughter tightly as she melted on his shoulder. "It's OK, Baby," he tried to tell her, not knowing what was wrong. She leaned back a bit, her face soaked with tears and her hair in her face. As he moved the hair from her face, she told him. "D....d....daddy.....M....m...mom....mommy is dead." She only got worse as he held her tight again and could only close his eyes.

A piece of him still loved Midori and always would. It wasn't hate the broke them up nor an act of infidelity. He found himself choking a bit, holding her tight. "The twins," he thought out loud. At this, the escort gently approached, "They are safely aboard Med Force One, Sir." The escort then backed off to allow for him to tend to his daughter.
"I'll take care of things, thank you," he said to the escort. With that, the escort quietly left.

He held his daughter for over an hour to console her. She was exhausted from it but was so distraught, she couldn't sleep. She was, however, able to speak a bit.
"What happened to Mom?" he asked.
"Child birth, Daddy. She died in child birth, just like you warned her she might if she tried again," she explained.
"And the baby?" he asked.
"Kisashi is being cared for by his Daddy and family. I just wanted to come to you," she softly explained. She again began to cry and clutch her father.

As she cried, Doc heard the door open and noticed Vaelin charge in. He listened to what he had to say as he held his daughter. He nodded his understanding and noticed that Emiko had cried herself to sleep. Standing with her, he realized he had his hands full.
"Um....would you mind helping me out? I'm going to have to bring her with me. I'll need my medical bags and her bags as well. Midori died and I can't leave her."
He was barely able to cover her with a blanket to head out when he went off with Vaelin.
