Home is where the heart is

[isax]

Ryan smiled weakly at Brett and let out a deep sigh as she awaited for the doctor to return. "Say he does make it Brett.... What if he doesn't remember me..?" She asked but now she was just putting scenarios in her head. There was so many and ultimately there was the chance of his death which was likely.

"If it happens he'll come around." Brett knew she was trying to remain hopeful to the possibility of him living but he didn't blame her. He wanted his friend to pull though but it only takes one bullet to kill someone and Brett remembered he heard four before running in. He quickly turned when the doctor pulled his parents aside and his gut twisted into knots when he saw Shelly begin to cry.

The minute Ryan saw Shelly crying was the moment her head dropped and she too started crying. She needed to know what happened but she didn't at the same time. Why did this have to happen? If she knew the outcome would have been like this she would have never fallen for Levi.

Brett continued to hold her as his own tears no longer able to be hidden glossed his eyes. Shelly turned away and went to hug Ryan and shook her head. "Don't blame yourself." She whispers. Sure, Shelly was his mother and it an awful feeling for a mother to lose a child but Bentley lost his father. "We all have to stay together for the sake of your son."

Ryan didn't know what to say. This was all so much for her. She wanted to snap and the only one who could actually calm her was no longer with her. Ryan stood up and got out of everyone's hug and walked out. She went to the river and sat there as she sighed. "I'm goin' to miss ya cowboy. We were supposed to get married soon ya know? You were never my fiancé to be honest. I'll forever consider you my husband." She whispered and sighed as the tears fell. "Just come back to me cowboy." She added and cried harder.

(Stoppp [emoji24])


Brett watched her and sighed as she walked off. It wasn't fair, his friend has always had the things taken from him that meant the most and now he was robbed of his promising future. He was robbed of his chance to be a father and a husband and he was still very young. Ryan left her joke for him snd now she probably felt like she had no one. Which of course wasn't his true but it wasn't hard to tell the way she looked at him he was her everything.

(Levi come back [emoji24])


Ryan stayed at the river the entire time and began to cry again. She wouldn't even dare go home yet. She needed time alone. Levi was Ryan's everything. Nobody loved her like he did. She sighed as she weakly stood up then walked back to the hospital to see Shelly and Ron along with Brett in the waiting room. She felt someone push her and when Ryan looked back at who it was, her eyes narrowed. This was terrible. Stella. "You okay Ryan?" Stella asked and gripped Ryan's shoulder. Ryan bit her lip from pain but pulled Stella down and then stood up. She was beyond angry with her.

Brett didn't know who it was that killed his friend, no one did besides Ryan. However seeing Stella even near Ryan Brett made it his responsibility to defend and protect her. "Don't touch her." He says sternly pulling Ryan towards him.

Stella looked at Brett and laughed as she looked at the two. "Look at that. You won't miss him Ryan. You have Brett." Stella commented and Ryan got out of Brett's hold and pushed Stella against the wall. She had had enough of her and she wasn't being nice. Not after she killed her fiance. "You will pay for what you did Stella. Don't think I won't say it wasn't you." Ryan threatened her. Luckily no one other then Brett was there to see. "You're the reason Bentley won't have a father." she added and Stella just laughed.

Brett blinked at Ryan's turning away from him but once he heard what she was screaming out of anger his blood began to boil. Stella's laugh made him even more angry. Stepping forward. "You did this? After everything he did for you?" Brett shook his head in anger. Unable to control is anger he reached towards her but was pulled back by police. "Don't ever come near any of his family again Stella or I swear." He says gritting his teeth. "I hope robbing a son of his father was worth it to you, I honestly hope they kill you." He whispers as the police took her away.

Ryan couldn't do this. She needed Levi. She looked at Brett and hugged him close as she began to cry. "Levi would have loved our son so much." She whispered and continued to cry. She couldn't handle this. She honestly just wanted to curl into a ball with Bentley and stay like that. Levi didn't deserve to die. Ryan still felt like it was her fault.

Brett sighed, his whole attitude changing when he turned back to Ryan. "I know." He whispers taking her into another hug. "I just pray for you Bentley doesn't take after his father." Brett laughed at the thought of how reckless and trouble son Levi always was.

 

[isax]

Ryan laughed as well and then kept the smile on her face. "It'd be okay if he was like his father. Id have a reminder of him everyday." She whispered and sighed. "We wanted to try again but I guess that's not possible." She whispered and cried again.

"Shhh, at least he got to meet his son." In the weeks following Levi was laid to rest and slowly everyone tried to go back to normal but it felt empty. Brett showed up early to clean the barn because he didn't want Ryan or anyone else to have to relive it.

 

[isax]

Ryan woke up every morning at three. The memory of Levis death invading her dreams. She hugged her knees close and continued to cry everytime she dreamt it. Bentley began to become fussy so she got up and went to check on him by morning. She held him close and rocked him back and forth. "Shhh baby boy." She whispered and then took him outside to the barn. She smiled at Brett as Bentley continued to cry but when he saw Brett, he fell silent and smiled a smile no one ever saw from the newborn. Ryan smiled and looked at Brett. "He sure does love his uncle." She whispered.

"Well that could be dangerous." Brett said with a laugh seeing how exhausted she looked.it had been a few weeks but Levi was still a touchy subject but Brett was curious of Ryan's plans for her and her son. "So, what's your plans for you and the little one?" She could do what she wanted but he was really hoping she wouldn't give into her mother and leave to take Bentley and her back to herself.

 

[isax]

Ryan sighed as she looked down at baby Bentley then looked up at Brett. "Stay here in the house his father built for us more then likely." She whispered and knew what he was thinking. "I'm not going back. I'm not giving into her. Bentley deserves to live out here with people who really do love us." She whispered as Bentley reached over for Brett. Ryan laughed and smiled.

Brett smiles and hugged Ryan. "Good, because if you went back I might have to disown you." He says teasing taking the baby from his mother. Bentley really did look like his father. Seeing him smile from Bentley made Brett smile faintly. Though for some reason it brought back the memory of his friend dying right in the spot where he was standing. Letting out a soft sigh he walked outside with Bentley. Standing in there made Brett skin's crawl. That was Levi's place, he was born there, he played there and worked hours on end in there and finally that's where he died. Shakin king his head Brett saw Bentley staring at something and smiled. "You're already like your daddy ya know?" The baby was staring at the sky admiring the stars.

 

[isax]

When Brett walked out with Bentley, Ryan smiled and looked around the barn as she let out a deep sigh. "Watch over our little one Levi." She whispered with a smile as she felt the wind pick up and felt his presence. "I love you." She whispered then walked out with Brett and smiled at the two. She imagined Levi being exactly how Brett was with Bentley. She looked up at the sky and admired the stars with Bentley then walked over. "He's going to be a lot like his father." Ryan whispered with a smile.


(So thoughts on when Bentley turns around 17, Brett and Ryan happen?)

(Really? I was thinking like four or five Whoops, Also what if she finished school and became a nurse to help save others? But they can get together whenever you want. :3)


Brett let out a laugh and nodded. "That's for sure," he says sitting down in the grass and laughed again as the baby's eyes gleamed at the feeling of grass. "I can already tell you're going to drive your mom crazy with your curiosity."

 

[isax]

(I love that idea on the nurse. I'll have her do that then and four or five is fine.)


Ryan laughed at the two but couldn't help and smile. They were so cute and Bentleys eyes were always on Brett's. "He better not drive me to crazy. I plan on going back to school you know. It's what Levi would have wanted." She said and smiled at Bentleys bubbly laugh. "Wow. Only a month old and you're already laughin'." Ryan said with a smile. "It's cause uncle Brett's face is funny to laugh at right?" She added with another bubbly laugh.

"Yes of course, the whole time you were gone he constantly bragged about how smart you are." He had never seen Levi beam with such pride before and it made him happy.


(You can time skip you you want. ^~^)

 

[isax]

Ryan smiled and nodded and that night she hugged Ryan goodbye and carried Bentley to sleep.


~time skip to Bentleys first birthday~


Today was the day. Bentley was turning one year old today. Ryan did miss Levi and it was normal she would but she learned to cope with his passing now. She had her moments but she always would. She was setting up when Brett came. "Good you're here. Mind watchin' the pit for me?" She asked him as she sent Bentley down. Bentley smiled and clapped as he saw his uncle and wobbly walked over to him with the biggest smile on his face.

Brett picked up Bentley and laughed. "Are you causin' your mom trouble already this mornin?" He asks. It was hard to believe how fast Bentley had grown.
