Becoming Mrs. Schmidt: Remember Me

True Love, Always!♥

"Good morning Mrs. Schmidt." Alice said as she came in. I sat up in my chair next to Kendall.

Alice Overturn is Kendall's personal nurse. She takes care of Kendall's medical needs not that he needs much. She just keeps him fed and hydrated. She lets me take care of the rest like sponge bathing him, shaving his face, and cutting his hair when he needs it. Megan Moore is his night nurse. She works from nine at night to six in the morning. Let's just say, it's the longest ten hours. She is not a very nice person.

"Morning Alice." I said. She handed me a cup of coffee.

"His mom is here." Alice said.

"Thanks." I said as I got up. Kathy has never set foot in Kendall's room. I don't blame her though. I can barely go in everyday, but I push myself to go in. I left the room knowing Kendall was in good hands and went down to the hospital cafeteria. Kathy was sitting at one of the table booths when I walked in. "Hey Kathy."

"Nicole, you've been married to my son for almost four months isn't it about time you called me mom?" she said. I just shrugged my shoulders.

"Who brings you here?" I asked.

"This was on my porch when I woke up for my morning run." Kathy said as she pushed a box towards me. I opened the box to a bunch of envelopes. "There are two more just like that."

"What are all these?" I asked. I turned them over and gasped. They were addressed to me from Kendall, but the address isn't my current address. It was the address I was at when Anna took Kendall.

"Look at the back." Kathy said. I did as she said and turned it over. It was in Kendall's handwriting. It was the words we used to speak to each other.

True love, always. I would say true love and he always added the always. In the corner the letters were numbered. I opened the letter marked 'letter #1' and began to read.

Love,

I have no idea how long I have been here. I don't even know where I am. I do know that I miss you completely. You are everywhere I look. In the faces I see everyday. I wish I could see you. It hurts to know that we were so close to being married, but somehow I screwed it up. I picture what we are doing everyday. I picture us on a beach some place where no one can find us. Just laying there together. No one to bother us. Maybe having our baby sleeping near us as we relaxed. I feel like total crap that I can't be there to help you through his birth. Is he even born yet? god I miss you so much. I miss your laugh, it could make anyone join in. I miss your smile, it could brighten up my day. I miss your eyes, the way your eyes lit up when you smiled and laughed. I miss your heart, so good to everyone even if they don't deserve it. I just miss you so much. I hope I make it home soon.

I love you.

A tear when down my check as I finished reading. I looked up at Kathy.

"Can I have the others?"
