WARNING: MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH AND UPSETTING AND EMOTIONAL CONTENT AND SCENES

As soon as Seth heard about Jaime's accident, he and Dean found me and the three of us rushed to the hospital where she had been taken. Strangely, it didn't feel real, almost like it was happening around me and I was just looking from the outside in. Understandably, we were all a nervous wreck and Seth and Dean seemed to be moving on auto-pilot. Dean was pacing up and down, tapping his fingers against his collarbone (a nervous habit that after a few years of knowing him, you'd easily recognize) and Seth was sat down with his head in his hands, mumbling about something under his breath.

Seth

Why wasn't anyone telling us what was happening? We'd been at the hospital for nearly three hours and not a single person had updated us on Jaime's condition. All we knew was that when she was making her way inside the hotel, a car had hit her. She was now having emergency surgery. I'd got a call back at the arena from a paramedic telling me what happened and he only knew to call me because I was the last person she had contacted. Just a few hours ago, I had been on top of the world, positively bursting with joy as I got ready to leave the arena, excited to see the first scan of what could be my child. Now I just felt helpless.

From the moment I looked at the doctor's face, I knew it wasn't good news. He looked defeated. 

"I'm sorry. We did everything we could, but I'm afraid we lost her."

"No!" Seth yelled "no no no"

"Every effort was made to save her and the baby, but her injuries were too severe.'' The doctor explained 

Dean punched the wall as I proceed with what I'd just heard. Just a few hours ago, I'd spoken to her. I'd wished her luck with her scan, and now she was gone. Almost 15 years we'd known each other and now I'd never speak to her again. After what seemed like a lifetime, a nurse entered the room and informed us we could see Jaime. None of us wanted to see her (not like that), but we needed to see her, in order to have closure and say goodbye. As we approached the room, we decided we would all go in together.

Seth

My first thought was how beautiful she looked. She didn't look dead, she just looked like she was sleeping. 

''C-can I touch her?'' I asked

''Yes, you can touch her. I'll leave you alone'' The nurse replied before leaving the room.

My hand shook as I reached for her hand. She was cold. I don't know why I expected her not to be, but she was. Just this morning she was so full of life and beyond excited about seeing her baby for the first time as she kissed me goodbye. 

''I should have been there''  I said as I looked at her. ''I'm so sorry'' 

She didn't deserve this. She had so much more to give. We had so much more love to share 

''I love you and I would've loved the baby too'' 

I leant down and kissed her as tears fell down my cheek. ''Sweet dreams''

Dean

I made my way over as Seth stepped aside. I could barely look at her. I kept expecting her to open her eyes and tell us this was all a sick joke.

''God, I wish I had more time with you'' I said as I touched her face. ''If I could take back everything bad, I ever said to you, I would. I meant none of it. I just didn't know how to handle my feelings'' 

My eyes made their way to her stomach, which displayed the slightest of bumps 

"Look after the little one and one day we'll come and join you'' I said as I leant forward and kissed her.

Dean left the room, and Seth quickly followed him. They were both feeling this a lot more than I was because not only did they lose Jaime, but they had lost a baby as well. A baby that either of them could have fathered. I watched them for a moment as they hugged, comforting each other. A nurse approached them and gave them Jaime's personal items.

''Oh baby girl, look at you'' I said as I finally allowed myself to look down at her. ''I'll look after them the best I can. I promise'' 

I studied her features almost to commit them to memory. If it was possible, she looked as beautiful laying there as she did when she was alive 

''Be happy. Raise your baby to be as amazing as you are and when the day comes, we'll meet again''

I kissed her on the head before leaving the room
