*After Nat & Kenzie found out the news about Kassie, they went back to the NICU to look at her one last time.*

*Kenzie's P.O.V.*

Nat & I couldn't believe that our daughter had died. As we walked to the NICU, all we could see was Kassie's dead corpse being wrapped up in a blanket by one of the nurses. The nurse asked Nat & I if we wanted to hold her, & of course we said yes. She handed Kassie to me & I sat down in a chair crying. Nat kissed her forehead, wiping the tears off his face. After ten minutes of holding Kassie, I handed her to Nat. Nat started bawling his eyes out. I hugged him & rested my head on his shoulder, trying to calm him down. We were both devastated. All Nat & I wanted to do now was to just go home.

*Nat & Kenzie left the hospital & headed back to their home in New York. Nat was pissed off really badly. All he wanted to do was to scream.*

Nat was in the back of the private jet laying on the bed. I sat next to him, but he was so angry that it had seemed like I wasn't even there.

"Nat," I said. "Are you okay?"

"My daughter died, Kenzie," said Nat.

"She was our daughter," I said.

"She WAS our daughter?" asked Nat. "WAS?"

"Look, Nat, I know your angry, but, we need to move on from this," I said.

"How can we just move on? OUR DAUGHTER JUST DIED!" said Nat.

"Nat just calm down!" I said.

"I can't!" cried Nat.

"Yes you can," I said.

"N-No I-I c-c-can't!" said Nat. "Kassie is gone, forever,"

"She's not completely gone, Nat," I said. "She's in your heart,"

"S-She is?" asked Nat.

"Yeah," I said rubbing his back. "You know, we'll eventually have more children in the future,"

"Yeah but, it won't be the same," said Nat.

"Some of it won't be the same," I said. "Kassie was born early, she had breathing problems, & her heart wasn't strong enough, I promise you that those things won't be the same."

"Alright," said Nat. "If you say so,"

"Maybe we should wait a little bit longer," I said.

"How long should we wait?" asked Nat.

"As long as we need to," I said.

"Okay," said Nat.

*One week later, Nat & Kenzie arranged a funeral for their daughter. Kassie's casket had been decorated with light pink ribbons with glitter all shimmered over it. Nat & Alex put Kassie's casket in the ground & covered it up. Everyone was in tears as they all surrounded Kassie's grave with flowers.*

*Nat's P.O.V.*

Later that evening after the funeral, I stood outside in the backyard. I couldn't believe this. Kenzie & I's daughter was dead. It has only been a week since her death. This just feels like I've been living in a nightmare. I can't take this anymore. But, I knew that I had to be strong for Kassie, & my wife.

The years went on. Kenzie & I were still heartbroken about Kassie. Every year, we'd celebrate her birthday, except, for the fact, Kassie wasn't there. All these Christmases would go by, not seeing her running down the stairs to open her gifts made it even more sad.

Alex & I were still working on movies & music just like we always did. Kenzie would still go on tours, & I would go with her. We talked on & off about trying to have another baby, but, whenever we'd talk about it, one of us or both of us would still think about Kassie. What would Kassie want us to do? She would probably want Kenzie & I to at least try to have another kid, right? I mean, if Kenzie & I are ready to try again. I don't even know. I wish she was still here.

One night, I walked into Kenzie & I's bedroom. Kenzie was laying down in the bed checking her phone. I sat down next to her.

"Hey babe," I said.

"Hi sweetheart," said Kenzie putting her phone on the dresser. "What's up?"

"Nothing much," I said. "I've just been thinking lately,"

"Thinking about what?" asked Kenzie.

"Oh nothing," I said.

"You were thinking about Kassie too, weren't you?" asked Kenzie.

I nodded. "I know it's been five years since she died, but, I miss that feeling,"

"Nat, I don't know if I'm ready to have another baby yet," said Kenzie. "I just don't know,"

"I know," I said. "But, we've been putting this on & off ever since, can't you just at least think about it?"

"I can think about it," said Kenzie. "But for now, my answer is a no,"

"I'm okay with your decision for now," I said. "If you end up changing your mind, you can let me know,"

"Thanks Nat," said Kenzie giving me a kiss on the cheek. "I love you,"

"I love you too," I said.

Kenzie hadn't told me when she was ready to have another baby for six months. Another Christmas had came again. Kenzie & I were about to head out to L.A. for the holidays. Once we arrived at my parent's house, we had the usual big dinner, open our gifts, & then Alex & I would play a little concert for the family. After the majority of my family left, Kenzie wanted to talk to me in private. We went upstairs into my bedroom & were about to talk about something that I didn't know what it was. This should be interesting.
