Rosie's POV
"Mr. Bongiovi... I apologize but we need to take the body away now... I'm so sorry.... she is deceased..." I overhear the paramedics whisper to Jon who is in a horrific state "That's my daughter you're talking about.... will you just give us a minute please". His voice is full of emotion and his cheeks are drenched in tears.
I've been cradling her tiny lip body in my arms while my waterfall of tears drops onto her skin, coating her in a love that will never fade. It's been 20 minutes since we started running down those steps, since I first saw her laying there, all alone. I felt her heart stop beating deep in my soul and it crushed my heart into pieces. The emotions erupted from me like a storm, erratic and harsh. When the ambulance arrived, they tried and tried but we were just too late. This is all my fault, I should have been with her, but I wasn't.
A heart-wrenching scream blasts out of my lungs. The force of my scream echoes through the universe, nearly ripping it apart. I know the angel's true voice is so powerful that no mortal can withstand hearing it, so I can only imagine what my scream would be like. An explosion of light and energy expands from my body, surrounding us like a bubble. Every inch of my body is surrounded by light, as is the room we're in. I feel like time has stopped, Jon has stopped moving and so has everyone else, Did I do this? They did tell me I'm the angel of time. But none of that makes sense because he made me mortal? how could I possibly do this if I'm mortal? "Charlie? Can you hear me?". Her face is pale and her body is still limp. How can this be it? this can't be real, surely? This can't be how this goes? I'm not going to let this happen "Don't worry Charlie... Mommy's gonna save you". I place my hand gently on her heart as I lean in to kiss her. If I'm still an angel then this will work, I can give her the kiss of life. Just as my lips press against hers, tiny white light transfers into her body.
All of a sudden, time moves backward. Everyone is moving slowly in reverse, I have no idea what's going on. I'm sure I'm doing it but I don't know how. Time starts up again just after we get to the bottom of the stairs. everyone is moving again, just as they should be. "PLEASE BABY WAKE UP!!!" The whole room goes silent when a tiny cough can be heard "Mamma? Daddy?". "Oh thank god!!" I collapse back into Jon's arms, letting him cradle the both of us "Is bedtime now mamma? Can daddy read a story?". I can't believe it worked, I bet my life, my very existence on this working and it did. I don't know what I would have done if it didn't. He leans forward and kisses us both, keeping us locked in his arms "I love you both so much". Charlie snuggles into us and lets out a tiny yawn. I'm so happy she doesn't remember what happened, she just thinks It's time for bed "Let's get you tucked in". Everyone goes about their business while me, Jon, and Charlie head back to the hotel. Nobody remembers anything, only I have the memory of what happened. . .
. . .
Once she's all tucked in and fast asleep, Jon turns to face me, absolutely furious by tonight's events "What happened back there?". "W--What do you mean? you were there.... y--you saw" He rolls his eyes at me and shakes his head "Rosie... I know you.... don't lie to me.... tell me what happened... you did something didn't you? just please tell me". "She..... she was gone...... she was dead.... I just couldn't let her go" The emotions build up again and now I'm crying my eyes out all over him "Oh god.... but how? ...... What happened?". "I don't know.... she just wasn't breathing Jon.... and I screamed so loud...... time stopped and..... I..... I kissed her and time went back and she woke up" He sniffles and pants against me "I can't believe it.... I was so happy when she woke up I thought she was just out cold or something.... I never imagined..... that". "She's okay now Jon.... everything's okay" He squeezes me tight and for so long, like he's afraid to let go "Yeah.... we're okay".
