Title based on the song by Daughtry.
--------------------
Life is not always easy for anyone. It can be unfair sometimes. For Carlos Matthew-Smith-Rodriguez, he was so devastated ever since his husband, Seb died from childbirth.

Carlos and Seb were high school sweethearts, and they went to college in New York, graduated there, and had careers as Broadway actors. But when they were homesick for Salt Lake, they decided to put their Broadway lives on hiatus for a while as they had gone back home. Eventually, they bought a perfect house, got married, and about a couple years later, Seb got pregnant. From the start, it was a miracle as Seb and Carlos were thrilled when they had wanted to start a family together. Near the end of Seb's third trimester on his pregnancy, there had been some complications so far, but he had an amazing husband who took extra good care of him.

By the time he went into labor, Seb was a fighter to get through, and Carlos was there to support him. Then he gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, and the Matthew-Smith-Rodriguez husbands named their daughter, Alexis Jade. But sadly not long after the little girl's birth, Seb suffered from eclampsia and then passed on. Life had been difficult for Carlos as he would grieve over losing Seb.

For the last few months, Carlos never got enough sleep anymore whenever his daughter would cry in the middle of the night and other times, and he would ask a family member or one of his close friends to babysit Alexis whenever he had work or was going to therapy he had done lately as he would talk about what a struggle it had been after his husband's death, but the one thing he would talk about as he feared that he would never be able to find happiness ever again. And that was until one night when it was about to make a change when Carlos would be able to seek his happiness again as he thought he had lost it.

*one night*

After putting Alexis to bed, Carlos was asleep in bed at night, but he was tossing and turning in his bed as he was having a dream. And this dream was not just any dream, but more like a dream that frightened him, which was more like a memory of how and when it happened.
--------------------
*Carlos's memorable dream: a few months earlier*

It all started out when Seb woke up in the middle as he was experiencing awful pains. He thought he was going into the labor before, but back then, it was a false alarm. And this time, he had a feeling it was for real. So, Seb woke up his husband to let him know the baby was coming. So they got our of bed and got dressed. Carlos grabbed the go bag, helped Seb to the car, and they drove off to the hospital. When they got there, the nurses got a wheelchair for Seb, and they wheeled him with Carlos following to the room.

Shortly after getting settled in, Seb's water broke, but as hours passed, the pain had gotten worse on him whenever he felt a contraction. When he was at eight centimeters, the doctor checked in and said Seb's blood pressure was high and his feet was swollen, but his husband had been holding his hand and swore himself to never let go.

"You're doing great, Seb. I'm proud of you," Carlos said while drying off his husband's sweat with a cloth.

Seb moaned in pain as he felt it.

"Thank you, Carlos," Seb grunted.

Then he let out a breath to help him relax.

"It hurts too much already," Seb panted.

"I know, my love. I wish there was something I could do to take the pain away from you," Carlos told him.

Seb felt yet another contraction as he breathed and grunted to fight through it.
