The Boy Next Door

I love you.

Josh's P.O.V.

I watched from above as my beautiful angel fought. Crimson Blood ran down her body as she protected her and our child. He knew her weakness. He knew it was me. I hated that I couldn't protect her. I wish I could just hold her and never leave her. I was meant to die by that night when her dad attacked. She was suppose to fight for me and that is what she's doing. Her small hand went into his chest and I watched as she defeated Lucifer.

"She has to choose who she want's." God said as he walked up to Avery's mom and I.

"What do you mean she has to choose?!" Avery's mom yelled.

"only one of you can go back." He replied.

My heart broke. What if she doesn't choose me? I'd have to watch my love and child grow old and fall in love with someone else. I may never be able to hold them or tell them how much I love them.

"I hope she chooses you Josh." Avery's mom said as tears formed in her blue eye's. I hugged her as god left to go talk to Avery.

"Avery." God said putting his hand on her beautiful face.

"I want Josh back." She cried holding her stomach.

"If that is what you want." He said as I was summoned back to earth.

"Tell my mom I love her and I will see her again some day." Avery sobbed as god nodded and left. 

"Avery." I whispered. She jumped and quickly scrambled to her feet.

"JOSH!" She cried and ran into my arms. Her tears began to soak the white shirt I was wearing. I ran my hands gently up and down her back, rocking her back and forth. Together we cried, not saying a word.

"Let's go home." I said picking her up bridal style and mad our way home.

When we reached our house I laid her on the bed as she slept. This was it. We were finally together, as a family and nothing could ever change that.
