One Shots

That Perfect Moment

"Tour's finally over, can't wait to have Daddy back home! Right, baby Hannah?

Daddy will be home in a few hours baby!" You say to your 7 year old daughter, you couldn't contain your excitement.

You dressed up, put up your best make up, you wanted Liam to see you in your best after their 10 month tour. You wanted him to fall in love with you over again...like the very first time.

You dressed up baby hannah in a cute little pink dress, you imagined Liam running towards her screaming "BABBBYYYYYYYY" and would carry her and give her a big hug. You imagined a perfect family moment at the airport.

Clock ticks at 9AM, 2 hours before Liam's plane lands.

You and baby hannah get to the car, both of you with big smiles. Both of you were so excited. You put your phone on shuffle and 18 played. You screamed "AAWWWEEE!" and told baby hannah that it was your wedding song, and you began to reminisce moments during that beautiful wedding day.

You and baby h arrives at the aiport, you park, and look immediately for Liam's flight on the screen.

You begin to wonder why Liam's flight number wasn't on screen so you approached the customer help desk to ask. "Excuse me, ma'am? Why isn't flight number 52898 on the screen?", "I'll check madam" the assistant replies.

But before the assistant even found the information, the Airport announcement system rings.

"Good morning, dear passengers. We are sorry for any inconvenience but our tower cannot locate flight number 52898 which was bound to arrive in an hour. We, the airport authority, are trying are best to get details regarding this flight."

"MY GOSH WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T LOCATE LIAM'S FLIGHT???!!?!!?! FIX YOUR SYSTEM!!!!" You scream as everyone stares at you.

"What's happening, mommy?" baby h asks. "Nothing baby h, dad will arrive in a while" you reply.

5 hours have passed. No information regarding Liam's flight.

5 hours of you crying your heart out.

"Good afternoon, dear passengers. We now have an information regarding flight number 52898

OMG FINALLY

the flight crashed

WTAF?

1 hour before it reached it's destination, there are no assurance of survivors."

You ran immediately to the help desk to ask where it crashed and drove immediately to the crash site.

There was smoke and plane debris.

It was a disaster.

The rescue team announces something, "We only have 1 survivor..."

your heart begins to crash, it was hard to hear.

"Is any of you related to guy with a tattoo of four arrows?"

Your eyes widen.

"Sir! I am....I'm his wife" you shout.

"Ma'am he's on the ambulance, next to you. You may visit him."

You saw Liam lying.

With an oxygen mask.

With a 2nd degree burn.

With deep cut wounds.

But still breathing.

You came to hug him, but you couldn't hug him tight.

Liam whispers to your ear

"When the plane was falling down

I was thinking of you and baby hannah

I knew I had to be strong...

I knew we'd have a perfect moment when we meet again

You and baby hannah waiting for me but now it's rui-..."

"shhh" You stopped Liam.

"This is a perfect moment

you may be broken but I know you're whole

I'm more than thankful that you're alive

I have loved you when you were at your peak owning the world

and I'll be loving you at your weakest moment."

It wasn't the moment they imagined, but it was perfect in many ways, you we're hugging Liam while baby h was in the middle of you. It was a family, that nothing could ever break.
