Someday

Goodbye- Mila

**hey guys! I cast Mila, and I have an idea for Madeline. Mila is the beautiful Christina Aguilera! I need some help casting the guys (Ashton and Dylan) thanks for reading! Always-Okay.(sign off name good or bad? Any ideas?)**

      Maddie walks in the door and Ashton trails slowly behind her. He looks pissed. I wonder what happened... Oh well. This is dad's day. I'm sitting in Dylan's lap and he is playing with my hair. It always calms me down when he does that. Mad die and I brandish our books from behind our backs. Dylan opens his mouth, but I cut him off.

     "You guys don't really know our dad. A few two minute meetings and that was all. You need to see why we are getting emotional. We both made memory books and wanted to share them with each other and with dad. That may sound crazy, but I just know he hears us. Madds, you wanna go first?"

     "Sure. I really had no idea where to start,so I started with when we were born. Our first picture with dad had him holding both of us. He wasn't afraid to hold both of us and he was so happy. Then I skipped ahead in life a bit. The first time I rode a bike. I did it after Mila." I chuckled at the memory. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was afraid. I'll never live that one down..."

    
       "Our thirteenth birthday. Or I should say birthdays. They were taking apart time so we got two parties. Step moms was just two friends each and a tea party. She still thought we were seven. But dad... Oh dad went full out" I smiled in remembrance. That was the best birthday party. "Yeah we had all our friends, a tent, a huge cake, music, dancing, awesome food, and great presents. I felt so loved that night. My first breakup at 16. He was the shoulder I cried on. Not my mothers. Two days before the accident..." Maddies voice catches in her throat. The tears are brimming at her eyes. I know exactly what memory she is talking about. I pick up her book and continue.

     "We had to do a report on the separate roles of men and women in the home. Mom was 'out' so dad was the only one. He had no prejudice, gave great answers, and great insight. 'Mom' just said to look it up. We loved him so much. He meant the world too us. And now he will be going to the other side."

     Maddie starts quietly sobbing, and Ashton envelopes her in a hug. OTP! OTP! OTP! I touch the pager for the nurse. "How much time do we have left?" I ask.

     "Fifteen minutes until the pulling of the plug. We forgot to ask earlier, your father... Well he is an organ donor. Is the wife present?" I lock eyes with Maddie. She mouths to me 'I can pose as mom.' I nod and beckon her over. She pulls Ashton's arms off of her.

     "Hello, I'm Jake Piko's wife. You have some questions for me?" I smile at Maddie she looks so serious. We need to carry out dad's wishes.

      "Hello Ms. Piko, o just need to clarify a few things. Is it true that your husband is an organ donor?"

     "Yes, that is true. His wishes were always to donate his organs to those who need them most. When will that be cared out?" The nurse had already left the pager. Maddie exhaled deeply. She smiles and hugs Ashton. We did it. Dad will live on. I smiled at her. The doctor walks in. It's time. I get up to say goodbye.

       "Dad. I'm not 100% sure that you hear me. But I know you know every word that I'm about to say. I love you. So much. My biggest regret is I never showed you how much I appreciate and love you. I miss you every day. I love you so much. See you on the other side," I kiss his forehead and crumple into Dylan's lap, spent. Maddie  gets up slowly.

    "Hi dad. I'm not positive on what to say. You always helped me find words for tough situations. I guess it's symbolic that I'm losing you and losing my words. I love you so much, I know you believed there was a heaven, so I hope I'm there with you. Goodbye." She kisses his cheek just as the doctor walks in. He tells us how sorry he is and checks the monitors one final time. Then he pulls the plug. He quickly begins to explain the procedure. They will be taking dads organs and giving them to ready transplantees. Before either of us can object, he wheels dad away. Goodbye.
