2 years later

I'm sitting in the living room scrolling through my laptop trying to find clothes for Bailey.

I look over at my beautiful 2 year old daughter. I smile at her, she looks so much like her dad. She has his beautiful brown hair with my green eyes. She has my nose and Grayson's lips.

She's so beautiful, I love Bailey so much, it's unexplainable. I named her after Grays middle name.

I smiled at the memory of him telling me that story. How his mom made his middle name bailey and he was upset cause it was a girls name.

Bailey Caroline Dolan! Grays middle name, my moms first name and Gray and Ethan's last name.

"Hey babe can you get Baileys bottle?"

"Yeah."

I watched Ethan walk into the room with her bottle, going over to her swing and giving her, her bottle.

He walked over to me and cupped my face gently kissing me on the lips.

"Do you know how much I love you Sky?"

"I'm guessing a lot!" I cheekily smiled at him earning a chuckle.

He walked away as I closed my laptop. I watched as Bailey drank her bottle, but she wasn't focused on her bottle, she was focused on something beside her. She watched very intensely at nothing. Her head was gently tilted back as she held her bottle looking slightly upwards to something beside her.

I know Grays always around because he does little things to help out with Bailey and I'm pretty sure Bailey can see him. I always feel his presence, he's always around. I miss him so much, but we're doing okay. I wouldn't be able to do this without Ethan though.

He's such a good boyfriend, or should I say fiancé, soon to be husband.

I got up and put Baileys empty bottle to the side and picked her up.

I carried her upstairs to her room, which was right across from me and Ethan's room. I stopped once I got to her door, looking down the hall way. Me and Ethan never moved cause we felt closer to Grayson in this house. I looked at Grays door, we haven't touched anything in his room, that will always be his room no matter what.

I walked into Baileys room gently laying her down in her white crib. I turned around to go get her favorite stuffed elephant from her dresser. I walked back over to her crib and she's already tucked in and she's looking up again. I got to the other side of her crib and gently placed her elephant down beside her.

Her gaze never breaks from the other side of the crib. I smiled knowing she's probably looking at Grayson.

"Goodnight Bailey!" I watched as her eyes slowly shut and soon soft snores escape her mouth. I start walking to the door when I'm stopped. I turned around and look around for something, anything. 

I soon feel I pressure on my stomach. It feels like hands are caressing my stomach. I look down to my 6 month baby bump, gently rubbing my hands over it.

I smiled knowing Gray is feeling my baby bump. Soon I see Baileys night light come on and her light turns off, making me realize, Grayson is in the room with us.

"I love you Grayson!"

I wouldn't be here right now if you wouldn't of kept me behind closed doors...

The End!
