Alternate 23
Katrina's POV:
"What's the great news that you've been dying to tell me?" I smile.
"I'm pregnant, Zach."
"That's amazing, Kat! I'm glad it's you saying this and not someone else."
"I'm glad I'm telling you and not Jack or someone." He kisses me and I know he's going to be okay, until his monitor goes dead again. "Zach! Don't do this! You promised me!"
"Sweetie, he's gone." Lucy tells me. In my heart I know it's true, but it just can't be.
"Our baby, your promise. Zach, don't leave me. Remember how I feel when you're gone and that you love me. Zach, please!" Nurses rush me out of the room. I'm fighting as hard as I can, but it just isn't working. "Zach, I love you."
"It'll be okay?" Cameron tries.
"No it won't. He's gone somewhere that I can't save him from. Zach is dead, I know it."
"What about having hope?" Cameron asks me.
"My heart is telling me! Don't make this worse for me than it already is! I also know that he's going to be okay." We sit in the lobby for what seems like hours.
"I'm so sorry. We did everything we could." I start sobbing hysterically and so does Kate.
"He can't be!" Vic starts yelling and kicking chairs over. I walk over and hug him. I can't say anything, I can barely breathe. The tears keep coming. Finally, I calm down.
"He is, Vic." I start crying again. I look at Michael and Cameron, who are also crying. I don't know what will happen to the band, but it won't be the same. None of our lives will. I'm sure people are freaked out, there's 11 of us sobbing.
"Do you want to say goodbye?"
"I think we did earlier." My dad speaks up. "I think we all need to head home."
"Can I see him?" I want to see him one time.
"Are you sure?" They all look at me. I nod. I walk down to his room and take his cold, lifeless hand.
"Hey, Zach, I'll let this baby know just how special you are. I love you forever. I'll try to move on because I know that's what you would want for me. I hope you're happy and I know you'll watch over me. I also know you're somewhere saying that you love me." The tears flow again and I know I should leave. "Goodbye, husband." I head back to the lobby.
"Mrs. Porter?" Kate and I turn around.
"Yes?" We both ask. I don't care; I'm still married to Zach. The doctor walks up to me.
"You dropped your bracelet."
"Oh. Thank you." I don't know why I'm hoping that Zach woke up.
“I can’t believe he’s gone.” Vic says and I can’t believe it either. I miss him so much and I just wish he would wake up, but I know he’s gone. We all walk out of the hospital and I turn around for one last chance.
“I love you, Zach.” Now I have to head home and prepare for this baby.
