Maisie's p.o.v.

(7 Years Later)

                                         Oh my gosh I am freaking out! The wedding is today. I'm so nervous yet I'm so excited at the same time. I'm so ready to marry Jackson. I've waited for this day for so long. My dad thinks that we're rushing things  but my step-mom, Linda, doesn't think so. My mom or Bill aren't coming to the wedding. Jackson's parent's are though. I'm glad that they've stopped arguing all the time.

                                        The wedding starts at 6 and right now it's 4. I sit in a chair while Grace (me and her are friends now) does my hair. Pippa walks out in her yellow bridesmaid dress. My jaw drops, she looks so pretty.

"Is this dress to tight?" Pippa asks while laughing.

"Pippa you look great, Tanner is so lucky to have you as a wife." I say while giggling.

"Yea I know" Pippa says.

                                 Grace finally gets done with my hair. It looks perfect. She then moves on to my make-up. When she finished my make-up it's five-thirty. I rush and put on my dress. When I walk out Grace's and Pippa's eyes fill up with tears. Linda walks in to see how we're doing. Her eyes fill up teas as well.

"Oh Maisie you look so good!"

"Thank you! Oh is MY dress to tight on my baby bump?" I said while giggling

                                                    All four of us have a group hug. Then I hear the clock chime. It's six o'clock. It's time for me to get married. Linda goes at and sits down. First the groomsmen and bridesmaids walk out. Now it's time for me to be walked out by my dad. I'm so nervous. I finally get to my dad. I can tell that he's starting to tear up. He walks my up the aisle. I see Jackson, he looks so handsome. I am ready to get married. I finally get to Jackson. The officiant smiles at both of us and nods.

"I'd like to welcome you all today to witness the wedding ceremony of Maisie Darby and Jackson Cruit. Marriage is a beautiful thing.  I am so glad to be able to witness these two get married and make the commitment to spend their lives together. So enough of me talking I think these two have vows to exchange. Jackson I'll let you go first" 

                              We exchange our vows.

"Alright and by the power vested in me I know pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride!"

                               Jackson leans over and kisses me. While he's kissing me he rubs my big baby belly. Everyone claps. We stop kissing.

"I love you Maisie."

"I love you too Jackson"

                                     After the reception me and Jackson go back to our house. We're both really tired so as soon as we get in the house we go straight to bed. He puts one arm around me and the other on my baby bump.

"I'm so ready for you to have this baby Maisie"

"Me too Jackson"

                               We finally fall asleep in each other's arms.

Jackson's p.o.v.

(2 months later)

                             Me and Maisie are sitting on the couch, watching a movie. The baby's due anytime now. We're ready for our son to come. We think we are going to name him Braxton. We had just gotten into our movie. Maisie had gotten up to go get some popcorn.

"Um Jackson?"

"Yeah babe?"

"My water just broke"

                      I jump up and rush to her. We then try to hurry and get into my car. We get to the hospital and go straight to the emergency room. The hook her up to one of those machines that monitor her heartbeat. They also give her an IV. She's in so much pain I can tell. The doctors have told us that even though her water broke the baby's not ready to come out yet. I sit beside the bed and hold her hand. She squeezes my hand when she has a contraction. I feel so bad for her. But at the same time I'm happy that our child is almost here.

                     The doctors come in the room and he has a very serious look on his face.

"So it turns out that Mrs. Cruit you are going to have to have an emergency c-section.  There isn't a way around it."

"But I thought that you said that it-" Maisie cut me off.

"Doctor just do whatever you can to get this baby out of me!"

"Okay well Mrs. Cruit I'm going to have to put you under."

                                           Maisie nods her head agreeing to this. The nurse gets the shot ready to make her go to sleep. It's ready. The nurse walks over to her.

"Alright are you ready?" the nurse asks.

"Yes very" Maisie says.

"I love you Jackson."

"I love you too! And just think when you wake up you'll have a baby" I smile and kiss her forehead.

                                 The nurse gives her the shot. In about 2 minutes she's out cold. The surgeon comes in and gets ready for the operation. I am standing beside her the whole time. I still have a hold of her  hand. The surgeon starts cutting her open. I can't look it'll make me sick. It seems like forever but finally they pull out the baby. He's beautiful. I can't stop smiling at him.

"Alright Mr. Crui-" The nurse that is holding our baby is cut off by a loud noise.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

                                  The monitor was showing a straight line. The nurse handed Braxton to another nurse. I rush over to Maisie's side. They try to revive her. Nothing happens. They try again . Still nothing. The baby is crying and everyone is yelling. They try to revive her again. Nothing.

"Time of death ten forty-five pm." The doctor says to the nurse.

                                                I start bawling. It's silent in the room except Braxton crying. Maisie's dead. No this can't be happening. Hopefully this is just a nightmare. A really really sick nightmare. I try to pinch myself to wake up nothing happens. This is real life. Maisie is actually dead. The doctor puts his hand on my shoulder.

"Mr. Cruit I'm so sorry. We did everything we could."

"I understand."

                                                I sit in the chair. The nurse soon brings me Braxton. I hold him and look down at him. He has Maisie's dark brown eyes. God he looks so much like her. I am going to have to raise him by myself. I don't know if I can do it.

                                             Maisie's funeral was two weeks after that. I miss her so much. I've cried every day since she's passed.  Me and Braxton went to her tombstone the other day.

"Braxton I really wish that you could've met your mom. She was a great person. I loved her so much. You would've too."

                                           Braxton just looked up at me. I placed a rose on her grave. I admired the rose and how it looked so red on the ground. This is the first time that I haven't cried while visiting her grave. I turned the other way and started to walk home.

"Bye Maisie, I love you"

                                                                                 The End
