(I would recommend listening to Ed Sheeran's "Visiting Hours" as you read this as this is loosely-based on the song)

Hi, I'm Oakley Leigh-Anne Edwards-Pinnock, the 5 year old daughter of Perrie Louise Edwards-Pinnock and somebody else but I've never met them...

Perrie's POV: I stare down at my wedding ring on my right hand, today was supposed to be our 7 year wedding anniversary but the girl who wore a matching ring is no longer with us, that girl would specifically be my deceased wife Leigh-Anne Edwards-Pinnock. She meant the absolute universe to me but she passed away 6 years ago from being hit by a speeding car, so she's now up there with the other beautiful angels.

Sometimes, I wish that argument never happened, the one that caused everything to suddenly go to shit all of a sudden; I got pissed off at her over some false rumour that she was out there sleeping with other women. It obviously came from somebody who knew how just to get under my skin and made me believe a stupid lie about Leigh-Anne, maybe if I didn't immediately jump to conclusions, maybe she would have been there to watch our daughter Oakley's first steps, or hear her first words, watch her go to primary school for the first time or even to watch Oakley meet her own grandparents.

I basically contributed in the murder of my own wife and it has stuck with me ever since... I would do anything just to see her again for a day or allow her to meet the daughter of hers that she was so excited about, but for now Oakley has to grow up without her other Mumma.

"Mumma, can I ask you something?" Oakley walks into my bedroom, carrying the special teddy bear, who's name is Ruffles, that I got her that has Leigh-Anne's voice saying the last thing that she ever said to Oakley when she was in my belly.

"Hi, my little princess, it's your mama here. You probably can't hear me speaking to you but neither me or Mumma can't wait to meet your beautiful little face."

"Yes, my darling? What is it?" I respond, looking up from my book. She hands me the teddy bear and presses the button that presents Leigh-Anne's voice.
"Who is that person in my teddy bear?" She inquires, cocking her head to the side.

"That person speaking out of Ruffles is your other mama who never got to meet you..." I admit and she looks at me more puzzled than before. "I'll tell you about her if you want me to."

"Her name is Leigh-Anne and she was your mama but she sadly went up to heaven before you or her ever got to meet each other. She was the most amazing person in the entire universe. She was so kind, pretty, caring and funny. She may not be with us anymore but she left something to remember her by... And that something is you, my darling " I explain, lifting her onto the bed.

"She sounded really nice, what exactly happened to her, Mumma?" My daughter inquisitively asks me, looking for further details.

"One night after me and her got into a little argument about something silly, she left and just never came back..." I explain in a tone that won't upset her and she seems content with my answer.

"Is she the lady on your phone lock screen?" She inquires, pointing towards my phone on the side. I grab my phone, look at the photo and nod. "She is really pretty, I wish I met her."
"I wish that the two of you met as well, it was always her dream to be a Mumma but that dream will never be successfully fulfilled by her. The other side of the bed has been cold ever since she went up to heaven." I respond, almost in tears when I see Oakley shed a few of her own.

"I want to meet her now, Mumma." She begins to cry and cuddles into me, I pull her into my embrace and just comfort her with cuddles and forehead kisses.

I wish that heaven had visiting hours sometimes, so I could just see my wife's gorgeous face once more but I know that my time before we are reunited is slowly counting down every second...

I'll be there one day, my love...

(AND THAT'S THE LAST CHAPTER OF THIS BOOK! Sadly as you know, Wattpad only allows 200 chapters per each book so this will be the last chapter so I'd just like to thank you all for reading, voting and commenting! Please consider checking out some of my other books, they are mainly about Little Mix or Harry Potter!
