synopsis: part 2 of āCanāt wait to see you!ā
genre: written, fluff, slight angst, hurt/comfort
ā¦is the only thing going through my head right now. The feeling of the cold kitchen tile underneath me does little to ease the burning sensation around my heart.
āItās not real. Sheās not gone. Sheās coming back to us, she would never leave us.ā
ā¦repeating like a mantra over, and over, and over again. What more can I do? With my baby ā our babyā¦ lying in my arms, finally asleep after what felt like hours of crying for her mama to come home. I try my best to keep my own sobs silent, so at least one of us can stay oblivious to the tragedy that awaits us outside of this small apartment. I need to protect her. I canāt lose her too. As the reality of what has happened in the last few hours is starting to set in, the feeling of panic is rising through my whole body. I canāt move, from the panic, from Lottie laying on my chest, and mostly from the TV screen frozen on the news headline.
The words echo inside my head, only fueling the panic inside of me. She hasnāt responded to my texts or calls in over two hours. I canāt even tell whether the car they showed on the screen is hers from how wrecked it is. Itās all my fault, I never shouldāve let her leave rehearsal early. Why did she have to change her route to get us flowers? If she hadnāt, she never wouldāve ran into that drunk driver. And now sheās gone. Because of me. How am I going to do this without her? I canāt live without herā¦ I need herā¦
āMeganā¦ā I whisper painfully. āMeiā¦ I need you. Please, Meiā¦ā I sob, begging any god, any universe, any higher power that can hear me to bring my heart back home to me.
Oh, my Meganā¦ her voice is just a whisper, yet itās all I can hear, wishing I could hear it just one more time.
āY/N, honeyā¦ whatās going on?ā
It sounds so real, as if sheās right here with me. I feel a weight getting lifted off of me as I blink through my tears, the kitchen of our shared apartment finally coming back into view. And there she is. Standing above me, carefully picking Lottie up from my arms.
āMeganā¦ youā¦ youāre hereā¦ n-no this isnāt real, they saidā¦ the news saidā¦ā
I quickly stand up, holding her face in my hands.
āWhat? What did they say? Who? Honey, whatās happening, are you okay? Is Lottie okay?ā
ā¦Megan whispers in confusion as she looks at our daughter snuggled close in her arms. Her eyes travel all over Lottieās tiny body, checking for injuries or any sign of distress, but all she sees is a little girl finally feeling her motherās comfort. In that moment I breathe out, my fears dying down as I realize my wife is okay. Sheās okay, sheās alive and sheās standing right in front of me. Megan, noticing my condition, takes Lottie to her room and puts her down in her little bed, right after placing a soft kiss to her forehead and each of her cheeks. All the while, I walk right behind her, not daring to take my eyes off of her just in case she disappears again. Once Lottie is settled, Megan softly closes the door to her room and walks straight over to me. I donāt let her get a word in as I throw my arms around her waist and bury my face in her neck, breathing her in. It doesnāt take long for Megan to connect the dots, looking down at me sobbing and seeing the news paused on the TV.
āI thought it was youā¦ you werenāt answering your phone and then the news came on and they were talking about someone who sounded just like you and I justā¦ā
āShhh, itās okay honeyā¦ Iām right here. I promise you, I am okay. Whoever that was that got in the accident, itās not me. Iām so sorry I didnāt pick up, baby, my phone died.ā
āWhere were you?ā I pull back to look up at her through tears. āWhere were you while our daughter was crying, begging me to find her mama and I was comforting her while having no one here to comfort me? My heart broke, Meiā¦ I could physically feel it breaking apartā¦ I thought you were dead, where were you?ā
I can see the guilt and the regret in her eyes as she holds me. āOh, my loveā¦ Iām so sorry, I wanted to drive to the mall to get that deer plushie Lottie wanted but they didnāt have one in our mall so I drove to the one right outside of town. I swear, I thought it would only take a little bit. I wanted to come home with it and surprise her cause I felt horrible that she was sad because of me all day, but then I got stuck in traffic and I couldnāt even call you to let you knowā¦ Iām sorryā¦ Iām so sorryā¦ā
ā¦she whispers the last words as she starts crying too, placing kisses all over my face, my neck, my hands, anywhere she can reach, and itās all Iāve been wanting to feel for the last few hours. My favorite person, the love of my life, safe and in our home.
āItās okay.ā I breathe out. āYouāre okayā¦ youāre here now.ā
āIām here nowā¦ and Iām never leaving you or Lottie again. I swear on everythingā
I let her take me to our bedroom where she lies me down on the bed and holds me. After what felt like the worst day of my life, I finally feel safe and content in the arms of my truest love, while our heart is beating just in the room next door, inside of the tiny body of our Charlotte.
a/n: here it is! part 2 for everyone who was asking for it. honestly, iām not sure if this sucks or not cause itās my first actual written work. excuse any typos i mightāve made and i hope that this is what you guys wanted to see! let me know your opinions! also, i lowkey hate reading fics that use Y/N but for this case i didnāt know what else to use so let me know if you want me to change that for any future fics. ignore if i missed a capital letter anywhere, i originally wrote this caps off and then i went back and changed it to make it look more serious lol. requests for all fics are open <3
