CHERYL POV:

I run her to her and catch her from falling to the ground. "Hey you're ok. You're going to be ok. Toni you're going to be ok." I lie her against the door frame. "Why did you come here?" I ask quietly as I call 911. "Because I love you." She whispers. "I always have and I always will." I hold her cheeks. "Toni you're going to be ok, we're going to get married and and and have a kid and live happily ever after." I whisper tears running down my face. "I love you Cheryl, you deserve more than I can ever give." She whispers. Her breathing gets shorter. "I'll see you soon." Her eyes close. "No! Toni stay with me." I cry into her shoulder. I feel a set of hands pull me back from her. "It's to late." I look up at SweetPea and slap him. "This is all your fault! Why the hell you didn't bring her to the fucking hospital!?" The EMTs take Toni away. "She wouldn't go I couldn't stop her." He whispers. "Trust me I tried." He holds my shirt. I push him away. "I hate you."

"What happened?" I ask Sweet Pea pouring him some coffee. "There was a fight at the bar and she got stabbed. It stopped the whole thing." He whispers. "Speaking of the fight, do you have any ice?" I nod and get him a ice pack. "Do you think she was ready to go?" I ask sitting down next to her. "Because she didn't go to the hospital she came here." I say looking up at him. "Maybe. I'm sorry I couldn't get her to the hospital." He whispers. "I know." I take a deep breath. "You were talking about having a kid, do you really want kids?" He ask quietly. "Yeah, we aren't having this conversation right now." His phone starts ringing. "Hello?" He picks up. "Yeah, w-we'll be there as soon as possible." He hangs up. "They were able to save her." I stand up and grab my jacket.

"Toni." I sit down on the bed. "Hey sweetheart." She whispers weakly. I smile and take her hand. "I love you more than anything." She whispers. "Why didn't you come here?" I ask quietly. "Because I'm tired of fighting this internal battle." She whispers. "Well this might make you feel better about life, umm. You know when I said that we are going to have a kid?" She nods. "Are you?" I nod. She smiles. "I was going to tell you sooner but the obvious happened." She smiles and pulls me into a kiss. "I love you too." I whisper for the first time tonight.
