Ghost girl

12. My baby

Flashback to the appointment of finding out the gender -the day before the beach-

Jayden and I walk into my doctors office the next day "ok ready?" my doctor asks me before she waved the wand over my stomach to find out if it's a boy or a girl "as I will always be" she nods then waves the wand over my stomach, you can see the little baby growing in my stomach "ok, it's a..."

Katie and I arrive at the beach and have fun, after a few hours It's getting dark. I walk along the beach and smile to myself as I put my hand on my stomach and sing my favorite song to my little girl

"Lavender's blue, dilly dilly lavender's green"

"When I am king dilly dilly, you shall be queen"

"Who told you so dilly dilly, who told you so?"

"'twas my own heart dilly dilly that told me so"

And on and on.......

I finish the song facing the ocean with tears in my eyes.

Katie drops me off at me and Jaydens house, I walk in and get undressed not bothering to put my swimsuit and bag away, then run into the shower and turn the water on.

Jaydens POV

I walk into the house and see Ava's bag and swimsuit laying on the floor, I run to our bedroom concerned. I hear the water running and know shes in the shower, I quickly take off all of whatever i'm wearing -i'm so concerned I don't even know what i'm wearing- I open the shower door, close it then walk over to Ava.

I hug Ava from behind, she turns around and bursts out crying into me as I snuggle her "shhh it's ok, tell me what happened when your ready to" I say knowing she doesn't want to talk right now and just wants to snuggle with me.

I turn the shower off and grab Ava towel, she gladly takes it, goes to the sink, washes away her running makeup, and brushes her teeth while I change into some clean boxers and get into bed.

Ava comes out of the bathroom, her eyes red and puffy from crying. She runs into bed with me and holds onto me like her life depends on it.

"Do you want to talk about it?" she looks up at me, nods and muffles clear enough for me to understand "when I was at the beach with Katie" she sniffs "I was looking at the ocean.. and was singing my favorite song, my mothers song to our baby girl when I remembered my mom" she manages to get out. "I'm sorry baby" I breathe out.

"Babe?" Ava whispers "yes?" "can you hold me tight and never let me go? I love you so so much and I couldn't manage life without you" "I will hold onto you forever and never let you go baby" I say as we both fall into a deep sleep.

It's been a few months since that night happened and it's the day of Katie's wedding, I walk over to Ava, she's in a beautiful grey-white dress.
