Never Gonna Give You Up

We love you Coop

❗❗ Mention of suicide❗ ❗  

Y/N'S POV:

It's been a couple days since Eva had our baby girl and we still haven't found a name. While we were getting settled into our room, I overhear Coop with our little girl in the nursery. 

Coop: "Uncle Coop isn't going to be here all the time. I need you to be the best baby there is to your mommy and mama and to be good when you're older. I'm so glad you're here little one, it's your turn to look after your mommy and mama. Uncle Coop's got somewhere else to be"

I was a bit confused because Coop didn't have anywhere to go. He was here in LA, his family was here and he didn't have any projects or anything. I went in to check on him and see what was going on.

Y/n: "Hey Coop, how you doing?"

Coop: "good, just spending time with little... uhm, the little one here. Have you guys picked a name yet?"

Y/n: "No... but we're getting there. Listen, I overheard you with our little one and I just wanted to check in, see how you're doing"

Coop: "Thanks Y/n/n. I'm struggling just a bit, but it's nothing I can't come back from"

I knew something was bugging him cause I could read him like a book, but somewhere deep down, I know he's going to be alright. 

**Skip 1 week**

We were all in the living room, watching tv and doing our own thing when Sab gets a call. She gets up to walk away to the patio and when she comes back, she stays silent and doesn't do anything, like she saw a ghost.

Anna: "Sab, you good? You look like you saw a ghost or something"

Sab doesn't speak so I look up and I instantly knew something was wrong.

Y/n: "Sab, what's wrong?" I say as I walk up to her. 

When I get right infront of her, she immediately drops and breaks down in my arms. 

Dev: "Oh my god, Sab!"

Y/n: "heyy, what's going on? I got you" I say as I'm holding her and wiping her tears away

We all give her a bit of space and I just hold her in my arms. She eventually had no more tears to cry, but was still in my arms. 

Eva: "Sab, you gotta drink some water, I'm really worried now"

As Eva handed a bottle of water to me, Sab slowing released her grip and got up.

Sab: "Cooper... he... died"

Y/n: "What?!"

Anna: "Come again"

Sab: "Cooper's dead"

We all just sat there in silence thinking about Coop and how he was just with us yesterday, how we was just holding my little girl and introducing himself. 

Anna: "Are you sure? This could be smt like Camron Boyce where he was dead but wasn't" Anna said with me slapping her shoulder

Y/n: "dude, shut tf up" she said rubbing her arm

Sab: "Parker just called me to say that last night, Coop killed himself and the police went to their house at 2am to let them know. They went to grab his stuff from the hospital and the car from the impound earlier today"

Y/n: "Sab, I'm so sorry" I said as I gave her a hug

Eva: " Charlotte Cooper Allen Y/l/n"

We all looked up, including Sab.

Y/n: "I love it, Coop did say that it was now our baby girl's turn to look after us. What better way to honor him than to include his name in our little girl's name"

Sab: "Coop said what?" she looked at me with glossy eyes

Y/n: "About a week ago, when we came back from the hospital. I heard Coop in the nursery with Charlotte and he was saying how he's not always going to be here and how it's her turn to look after us. Coop was struggling a bit, but he said he was going to be alright and my gut feeling knew he was going to be alright too"

Sab: "He really is an angel, even when he's not here" she said as he started to shed a few tears

The rest of the day, we invited the Noriega family and the boys to come over and just hang out. It wasn't the same as when Coop was here cause he just lit up the room, he was able to make every person smile just a little. 

Y/n: "I'm sorry for you loss, I may not have grown up with Coop, but he was like a brother to me. There's actually someone I want you guys to meet"

As we walked upstairs, I opened the door into the nursery where Eva was with Charlotte. She was just rocking her back and forth and keeping her calm as everyone was downstairs. 

Parker: "Hey Eva, congrats on your new baby"

Eva: "Thank you, I hate that you guys had to meet her in this circumstance"

Parker: "Noo, Cooper would want us to celebrate your baby even thought he's not here anymore"

Y/n: "Well that's kinda why I brought you guys here. About a week ago, Coop helped us babysit a little and when I walked by the nursery, I heard him say this to our little girl" I say as I played the video of Coop from the security cameras we had installed. 

After watching the video, Parker, and the Noriega parents were in tears.

Y/n: "Knowing Coop said that our little girl is now one to look after us, we thought that her name should represent him, so we named her, Charlotte Cooper Allen Y/l/n"

Coop's mom: "I love it. Coop would have been a great dad to his own kids and such a great uncle to your kids"

Y/n: "I believe it. Little Charlotte is our reminder that Coop is always with us, watching over"

Coop's dad: "And I'm sure that in the future, she would like to help us with her uncle Coop's legacy, Coop's Advice"

Eva: "We all would love to be a part of it"
