                                                             Izzie's POV

                                                           About 4 years later

I have watched out for them everyday for the past 20 years,watching them and missing them even more. I can't wait until we meet again. I see that everyday is getting harder for Joseph just for him being there without me. My last 2 children graduated high school and got their drivers licenses 2 years ago. I wish that I could have been there with them.  My youngest children are now 20. Today I saw that my 2 oldest's are going to be getting married. They found 2 amazing guys and I can tell that they will take care of my girls. They will be getting married a month apart. I wish I could be there with them but I can't although Casey is taking good care of them. I also noticed that Mary-Kate and Jenna were hiding something. They were always close and were doing to do things to match the other. I heard them say they were pregnant. April has been cancer free and my family keeps Leo distracted for me thank goodness. He was still 8 years old and never got older.Everyone here was at their young age not growing old and the same is with me. I have my short hair but I am young and healthy.Mary-Kate was due a month before Jenna. I am proud of my girls. I am worried because I heard someone whisper that something big was happening and soon and that it has to do with Joseph. I am watching him the most because I love him. I miss him to so so so badly. He went to move into the other lane on his way to our beach since he wanted to remember me and my kids will meet him there since they want to know more about me and he was taking the highway. I would've warned him but I can't. I was stuck frozen watching him,watching it all take place. Some idiot was driving way to fast and another car went to pull over in front of Joseph. The vehicle coming over hit him and so did the other unable to stop. Thank god,traffic stopped. I saw people starting to run to help my husband. He was unconscious and bleeding badly. I turned away,crying,unable to watch anymore. The next morning,I went back and was watching again. He was just moved into his hospital room. I saw Alexis,Kate,Noah,his dad, my kids,and Nic all in the waiting room waiting for news. Next I heard them say they had to decide what to do as Joseph is in a coma and they don't think he is going to wake up,he is on life support,and has several things that were wrong with him. They stayed to discuss. I went up to ask permission from Number One Director who controlled what happened on earth with people backing me up. I was asking to see if I can go to earth like I am to stay by his side,holding his hand,just like he would do for me.  I finally got permission. Off I went on my journey to his room. I stood by his side the whole time,holding his hand even though I knew that he wouldn't know I was there but he needs my comfort. The beeps were getting to slower and he was gone.He then started coding and by the time they got in there,he was gone,flat-lining. The doctors took care of it and then went to inform everyone who instantly started crying and holding onto each other,falling to the floor. I knew it would be hard and that they wouldn't be able to heal the pain but eventually in time it gets better. I knew that they will meet us again here soon. I then faded away saying goodbye to everyone. I made it in time. I met Joseph there enveloping him in a hug. We were finally together again at last after 20 long years. I love him so so much. I introduced him to everybody and Leo ran up hugging us. I was finally at peace with true joy being with him again. We were like our young teenage selves again just with kids. I still watched most days with Joseph holding onto me. I never let him leave my side. I watched as his parents buried their son. That must be an awful thing to go through and then again Joseph had to but he had to do it without me. That had to be really hard.

                                                                                        Joseph's POV

I was going to our beach today to honor Izzie. I have spent a lot of time with my kids lately and little by little I am able to tell them more. Something big is happening though,I feel it in my stomach. I was driving. My kids were going to meet me there. I was suddenly hit twice by 2 different vehicles. I fell unconscious in a serious condition. People got out of their cars as traffic stopped. They tried to help me. At the hospital they did so many different things that I lost count. I heard the words he is in a coma and will probably never wake up. I heard as my family fell apart. They had to decide what to do with me and I wanted to be with Izzie so bad and I hope I get too.I felt someone holding my hand,I was in comfort,and it felt like Izzie. I had pictures of her in my mind. She always looked like an angel,especially in the sun when it shined off of her hair. I think that she was my guardian angel because I could never get her off of my mind and she came into my life just when I needed her. We came into each others lives when we needed each other and we stayed like that for many years. She will always be my angel. I noticed as the beeps got slower which meant my heart was slowing and soon I was coding and then I was gone,flat-lining before any of my doctors got there. I will finally see the true love of my life,my guardian angel.  I made it there and she greeted me. We hugged each other and then she introduced me to people. I then saw Leo and he hugged me. We were like our teenage selves but with kids. It was so bright. I saw as she smiled at me and the sun was radiating off of her. She still looked like my precious angel. I saw as there were a few tears in her eyes. I remember the day we met and she had pool water glistening off of her hair and face.I have missed her so much. I know that here soon my family will be here too.
