Jiley-Our Realitionship Together-Continued

Dreams have come true

James POV:
Ive just got news that the next step has won internationals and are comming home. If only I could be as excited as them. I couldnt find a way to tell Piper so I asked Riley to tell her. She said Piper would be here soon.
Im sitting next to my mom when she wakes up.
'James? Is that you deer?'
'Y-yeah' I say in a shaky voice trying to hold back the tears.
'How are you deer?'
'Listen mom. T-theres something I need to tell you'
Its better I just tell her now than never.
'Go on'
'T-the doctor said that...he said your going...'
'Im going to die. Yes I know deer'
I look at her.
'What?'
'Ive known for a very long time that I was dying'
'Im confused'
'My heart has been giving me trouble for years. Ive been secretly getting medication for it trying to keep it going. But they aent working anymore'
'W-why didnt you say something?'
'I didnt want to worry you'
'How long have you known?'
'When Riley announced she was pregnant for the second time I started having problems with it. I went to a doctor and he said it was failing. I decided to go on pills but he said it wasnt going to last forever. I told him that the only reason I wanted to take them was because I was going to be having two adorable grandchildren and I didnt want to miss it. So I kept taking them. And then when I saw them and got to be there for their birthday I stopped. I knew my time was up on this world. It was time for me to leave'
'Youve kept this a secret all because you wanted to see your grandchildren?'
She nods.
'I told you it was my dream. And its come true. All my dreams have. Ive lived to see you grow up, get married, have two beautiful children. Ive been there to help you through all the tough times in your life. Ive lived to see the world. Everything that I wanted to happen has happened. And I couldnt be happier'
A tear rolls down my cheek.
'Oh no. Dont cry. Its going to be allright. I want you to know that whem I die, Im going to die a happy person. And at least Ill be reunited with your father again'
I put my head down.
'How did the studio do?'
'T-they won. Their comming home'
'Awww. See! Something else for me to be happy about! James Ive lived my life. I was born. I lived. And now its time for me to die. Its time for someone else to take my place. Someone like you and Riley and your beautiful children'
'But its not fair'
'I know it isnt deer. Life is never fair. But its just the way it is. Just remember that Ill never be truly gone. Ill always be in your heart forever. Cause thats what love is'
I smile weakly.
She yawns.
'Now would it be okay if you left me rest? Im just a bit tierd'
I nod and get up.
'Jamie?'
I turn around.
'I love you. You know that?'
I nod.
'It will be okay. I promise'
I nod and leave.
I see Riley reading a magazeen. She looks at me and stands up.
'Shes known this whole time' I tell her.
'Wait what?'
'Shes known that she was going to die for years. When you got pregnant with the twins she started taking pills to keep her heart going, but stopped after their birthday. She said that shes done her time and that all her dreams have cone true'
A tear rolls down her cheek.
'James Im so sorry'
'I just dont want her to go'
'I know'
She hugs me.
Mom please dont go.
I need you.
