Don't Let Go.

The Last Kiss?

Eight months had gone by, and since then, Lilly has turned six years old, Violet had gotten a  prosthetic leg from Ashley for Eric's and Violet's anniversary. Violet and Eric together, tried the pregnancy test, and... it turned out positive! Lilly had started preschool as Violet took thought into trying out for writing school. Last night, Violet reconsidered, and agreed to Eric's proposal.

Our story continues here. 

Violet walked into her master bathroom as she stepped in front of the body viewed mirror and admired herself. Violet looked down at her prosthetic wooden leg as she pulled up her black leggings. Violet then looked up at her stomach as she turned to the side. "Wow. Look at you, baby girl." Violet said to her tummy. Violet rubbed the lower part of her stomach in happiness as a tear streamed from her eye. Eric walks in the bathroom as he approaches Violet and holds her from behind her back. Eric places his hands over hers on her stomach as they both look at each other in the mirror. Eric turns Violet around slowly as he wipes away the tear from her eyes with his thumb. Violet forces a smile on her face. 

"What's wrong, Vi?" Eric asks. Violet looks up to his green eyes as she lets out a chuckle. "It's nothing babe. I'm just so happy. We really created something. We have our beautiful and smart daughter, your career is doing so well, I mean we have everything we could ever want right now." Violet says with a smile on her face. Eric holds her as she leans against him. "I love you ,Vi; so, so much." Eric says.

Violet's appointments with Dr. Mathew have been going extremely well. So well, that Violet has recovered her memory completely, as well as correctly using her new prosthetic leg. In the beginning, it was a real challenge for Violet to walk again. Since she hasn't walked in over a year, Dr. Mathew thought it was best if she went to classes as she had her leg equipped. Violet has bruises on her arm, and other parts of her leg from times she fell when practicing. 

With Eric working hard and getting promotions since Violet had got out of the coma, Eric saved up enough money to pay off all of the hospital bills as well as Violet's therapy appointments. And for their wedding, Eric has a surprise up his sleeve for when the baby comes. 

Violet was sitting down in the dining room as she was looking at a lot of papers and was adding totals together. Eric walks by with Lilly in his arms as he sits down next to her and starts to rub Violet's back. "Are you okay, babe?" He asks. Violet has a smile on her face. "Heh. Yeah I am." Violet says as she relaxes. "What is this then?" Eric asks. Violet shoos Eric's hands off of her as she organizes the papers. "It's everything we have done for the wedding." Violet says. "Do you need any help?" He asks as he puts down Lilly as she walks into the kitchen and grabs herself a snack. "No, I'm fine. It's just overwhelming." Violet says as she slouches over. "Come here Violet." Eric says as he opens up his arms. Violet hugs Eric as she has her right hand in his hair and her left around his neck. "I can always help you with this stuff. I know I'm not home all the time, but you can always call me or message me. Y' know that, right?" Eric asks. Violet nods her head. "OK. Can you help me pick out the cake then? And also the venue." Violet says. 

Months go by as the wedding date comes by closer and closer. Weeks go by until it is the final day when...

Violet was in her car driving home when suddenly, her water broke. It felt as if she wet herself or spilled something on her pants. Violet called Eric as she ached in pain on the way to the hospital. Violet screamed as she started to sweat and the room was spinning. No matter how terrible her conditions, Violet successfully drove to the hospital as nurses quickly came to help her into a room. Violet was on a rolling bed as she was put into a big room. Nurses came in as they tried to calm Violet. Eric rushed in moments later as he kneeled down beside Violet. Eric took her hand in his as she looked at him worried and scared. Violet screamed in pain as tears rolled down her cheeks. A doctor came rushing in. " Violet, I checked your exams, and tests that we did on you,  I'm sorry to say this, but we cannot do a natural birth... " The doctor said. Violet's face began to turn hot and red. "Why?!" Violet screams in pain. 

"From the quick x-rays we have done, the baby is in a frank breech position. That means the fetus is flipped the opposite way it should be. It is healthier when the baby is delivered head first. And since this is a breeched baby, the best choice with a higher chance of living would be to have a C-section done." The doctor says as he walks towards Violet's bed. Violet squeezes Eric's hand. Eric looks over to Violet. "I don't care what you do, just help me!" Violet screams in fear and pain. Eric gets closer to Violet as he holds her hand tight. Nurses rush over to the doctor as Violet screams in pain. Violet's face is hot and red. Violet is overheated as her face is full of sweat. 

Violet tightens her grip on Eric's hand. "Eric!" She screams. "What can I do?" Eric asks scared. Violet's breath grows faster as she kicks her head back in pain. "Please... call," Violet says as she clears her throat and looks at Eric's eyes. "Call... Ashley... I need her..." Violet says slowly as she catches her breath. Eric nods his head as he is about to grab Violet's phone which is in her purse, laying on a cheap plastic chair. Before he even takes a step forward, Violet catches his hand, swinging him towards her. Eric kneels down besides Violet as he takes her hand in his. A tear falls down Violet's cheek as she takes a deep breath. "Please... Don't leave me..." Violet says as a silent tear falls down her cheek. Eric wipes the tear off her face as he kisses her cheek. "Never." Eric says sincerely. " Violet lets out a slight chuckle as her eyes stream. 

Eric takes Violet's face as he leans in slowly. Eric kisses Violet's lips. They pull apart as Eric says: " I'll be here with you forever. I'll never leave your side, Vi." Eric gets up on his feet as he takes Violet's right hand and kisses it softly. "I love you." Violet says before she screams in pain. " I love you more my sweet flower. " Eric says as he steps away and blows a kiss at her before turning around and walking out of the room as he grabs her purse. Eric quickly, yet quietly closes the door behind him. Eric takes out Violet's phone from her zipped purse. He unlocks it quickly, as he dials Ashley's number. Ashley quickly picks up. "Hey, Vi? What's up?" Ashley says casually. "Ashley? This is Eric. Listen, Violet went into labor. I've been here for half a hour. Violet wanted me to call you." Eric says nervous. Eric hears Ashley crying.

"I'm on my way now. Thank you for calling me." Ashley says before hanging up. Eric eagerly walks back into the room as he places Violet's small gray purse on the plastic seat before rushing over and kneeling besides Violet. The doctor walks over to Violet and Eric. "I have some bad news..." The doctor says. "Bad news? What do you mean bad news?" Violet yells before she screams in pain and clenches her stomach. 

"I'm sorry to say this to you Ms. Evergreen and Mr. Weston, but there is a very small chance that Ms. Evergreen will survive this labor..." The doctor says. Violet and Eric look at each other concerned,and sad. The room is silent as Violet starts crying. "I'll leave you two alone..." The doctor says  before walking out of the room and closing the door. Violet leans up as she hugs Eric and sobs into his shirt. Eric clenches Violet's body as he wraps his arms around her. "What are we going to do?" Violet asks. 

Eric pulls apart from Violet. "Don't tell me your actually considering this...?" Eric asks worried. Violet looks in Eric's eyes as she grabs his hands and holds it to her chest. "Do you feel that baby?" Violet asks as her voice shakes and her face gets hot. Eric can feel the heartbeat coming from Violet's chest. Eric looks up at Violet as he sheds a silent tear. "Every beat is a memory. A memory of my love for you, and our family. A memory of my happiness for the future, and our child. Every beat you feel, is how..." Violet says as her breath fastens and her voice silenced. " Every beat... you feel... Is how much I love you." Violet says confident as her grip on Eric's hands tightens. "Vi, can't we talk this through?" Eric asks as he lets go of Violet's hands and looks at her brown eyes that are red and full of tears that are forced back. 

"I want her to grow and have a happy life. I know you'll be a great dad for them." Violet says as her voice cracks. Eric pulls Violet into his arms. " No matter what you do Eric, you can't change my mind.  If this is the only way for her to live, then so be it." Violet says as she tightens her fists. "I want our children to be together. And if that means I have to go, then..." Violet says before clearing her throat. "Then I have to do it." Violet says determined. "Vi, we don't know what's going to happen. You have to know that." Eric says. Violet nods her head. Eric wipes the tears that remain on Violet's face. Eric kisses Violet one last time. Her face is hot as his is cold in fear. 

Violet kisses Eric before she pulls apart and hugs him.  Eric hugs Violet as if he would never let go. They remain in this hug until the doctor walks into the hospital room. Eric and Violet lean their heads together as they touch. "For Daniella" They both say.
