Right Time (G-Eazy Fanfiction)

At Peace

Ashley POV

It was like a bright light, a camera flash so to speak. I raised the belt above my head before Dana put it around my waist. Then like a lightening bolt I felt a shock to my system. Like a feather, I found myself falling to the mat, the weightless sensation making my body tingle.

"She's waking up." I groaned and slowly opened my eyes, wanting to claw at my throat. The first face I saw was Gerald's then a face I thought I would never see again. I felt tears sting my eyes, I wanted to sob yet my throat was tight with the tubing.

"Clear out let's get this out of her." The nurse waved them both out as I caught Gerald's face again. It was as if he knew what I had just been dreaming. Taking the tube out was painful to say the least, yet the pain went away when I saw this chocolate hues and his arms carrying what I could only assume was Kamden.

"Dom." I covered my mouth with my hand a sobbed as he chuckled almost, sitting on the side of the bed. Here he thought I was crying cause of Kamden. Meanwhile I was crying because he was here in front of me, minor cuts on his face.

"Shh don't cry. He's prefectlyou okay. They had to do a c-section when you got to the hospital. You remember the car accident right?" I nodded quickly before pulling him into a hug as I sat up, careful not to crush Kamden.

"I thought I lost you." I whispered as he kissed my forehead.

"I'm perfectly fine beautiful."

"I had a awful dream except it felt so real. I dreamed you died and... And I had to raise Kamden by myself." I took a deep breath, the scent of his cologne like a numbing medication. His voice was laced with concern as he spoke, gently rubbing the back of my hand before he handed Kamden to me.

"Well you're okay now babe. I'll make sure of it alright? It was my fault that I almost lost you."

"Accidents happen." I mumbled looking down at our son, his eyes closed and his body at rest. "He's gonna be so smart Dom I just know it. He'll have your protective personality and charm." He chuckled softly, flashing a half smile.

"I don't care, he's healthy and that's what matters to me." I glanced to the door, how could I forget that lanky figure. Dom sighed softly and carefully took Kamden. "I'm gonna go put him back, give you two some time to talk." His lips brushed my forehead before I nodded. Only when he was out of the door did I dare raise my eyes to look at you.

"I had a dream-"

"About a life with me?" Gerald mumbled as he sat down almost bitterly laughing. I felt like I was going crazy. "I had something like that too Ash. It hurt, but it made me realize I'm never gonna take care of you the way he will-" I opened my mouth to speak, yet his hand took mine and he hushed me. "It's okay. It took me a lot of time to realize that and be okay. I wish I had been there for you. Through a lot of shit. Now I can be there for you. As your best friend from the bay." I listened as tears slid down my cheeks. Not tears of sadness but tears of peace. "I love you. Always will. Just as I always have and I can't wait to see your life with him."

"Ger-" I choked out. "I love you too. Thank you." His lips brushed the back of my hand before you stood.

"I expect an invite to the wedding when you finally have one."

" How did you -"

"I have my ways. Get some rest. I'll call you soon." That was one of the last times I saw before I finally had my wedding and won the belt. Him and Dev seemed to always be by my side and truth be told I think she was taking a liking to me finally. At the wedding was when I felt it all came to a peaceful end. Dominick had Ger as one of his groomsmen, which in my mind I could have never imagined. Then again Devon was one of my bridesmaids. She soon after was expect a baby with Gerald, and truth be told I was happy for them.

"You alright babe?" I glanced to Dominick, looking out towards the ocean before looking at everyone dancing to the slow music. Kamden was two and more than entertained with the Hawaiian cultural dance.

" Yeah I've never been better." I whispered before kissing him as we slow danced. I couldn't help but glance at Gerald, a smug look on his face. He winked, making me crack a smile before I placed my head on Dominick's shoulder as we continued to dance. Maybe we never got to have our time without heartbreak. Maybe this was our right time. Being friends and a makeshift family.

"Mrs. Cruz-"

"Mm I will never get used to being called that and I love it." I giggled softly as he chuckled.

"Get a room you too." Grady made a face while dancing with a girl whom I didn't even know.

"Ash gets to do what she wants it's her wedding day. Yeee!" Gerald hollered and a few others made that familiar bay area noise. Dominick laughed before whispering softly.

"I'll never get used to these bay area people."

"Don't worry I'll protect you." I snickered before looking back at Gerald. "Yeee!" Truth be told I couldn't have been more happier with the way it all turned out. Even if it never was the right time for us in the way we expected.

The end 🙃 hope it was decent. I did throw a plot twist of after the accident everything was a dream. I know you G-eazy fans might be a bit disgruntled but I was a happy ending nonetheless. Thank you for readying. Please put requests in the comments on this chapter.
