You lay in bed alone; you heard the dripping sound of your pain medication hit your tube every second or two. You heard the annoying steps of nurses and doctors out in the hallway. The screams, the cries, the new lives, and the losses. You could hear it all.

You heard footsteps come to your door, they opened the door. You looked to see who it was.

You: Mum….? Dad…?

They both ran alongside of your bed and were crying. You hugged them both, you felt both Benjamin and Darcy kicking, you giggled.

You: They must be happy to see you too!

Your mum and dad felt your stomach. You were laughing and smiling, you saw Harry in the doorway. Your smile disappears.

You: He told you to come here to change my mind… Didn’t he?

Your mums’ eyes filled with tears, you rolled over facing your back towards them. Your dad walked over to the side you were facing and kneeled down.

Dad: Baby… Don’t do this… Don’t end your life.

You: I’m not! They’ll be here to live it for me.

Your dad’s eyes filled with tears, he sniffled.

Mum: Baby… Are you sure this is what you want?

You nodded: More than anything.

They both sat down with you and began talking to you. You saw Harry leave, he was pissed off once again; but you ignored it. You told your parents about you and Harry from day one till now. It felt so good to have them here with you now. You felt complete; you had Harry’s family and yours all here with you. You heard a knock on the door.

Anne: Hello?

You smiled and she grinned back.

You: Anne this is my mum and dad!

They introduced themselves and started talking; you lay in bed and watched them. Harry’s stepdad, whom you’ve only met once walked in and waved to you. You waved back; he was just as nice as Anne.

Your mum came over and kissed your forehead: We’re going to talk to them for awhile okay? If you need anything we’ll be right outside.

You nodded: Can you get Harry?

Dad: Of course.

They all left and you sat there waiting for Harry to walk in. You rubbed your stomach as your mind wandered. You heard the door creek open. It was Harry, he stood there staring.

You: I know you’re mad...

He didn’t say anything.

You: But can you just be here… With me for my last hours.

Harry walked over and sat in the chair in silence, a few minutes went by till he said a word.

Harry: It doesn’t have to be this way.

You: It was meant to be this way.

Harry: No it wasn’t.

You didn’t bother arguing with him because you knew he would never let up.

You grabbed his hand: Take care of them…

You saw his eye flood with tears; he started sobbing as he hugged you.

Harry: I will... Please…Please stay with me.

You pulled away and held his face: I’ll be a strong as I can... Make me a promise okay?

Harry: Anything?

I felt a tear pierce the corner of my eye: Make sure they survive.

Harry kissed my hand: I promise.

You felt an excruciating pain in your stomach, you fell partially on Harry. You felt sweat run down your face as he laid you on the bed.

Harry: Baby… Hold on! Hold on! We need a doctor! Hurry!

You looked forward till your mind faded to black…
