(Sure. [emoji20][emoji24])


He laughed at them all like he always had and smiled when her hand found his. He leaned over and kissed her cheek heifer focusing back on the road ahead of him.

(Here it goes.... [emoji20][emoji20][emoji24][emoji24])


Ashley smiled as she felt her husband kiss her cheek but all the fun stopped when she felt her throat getting extremely tight. Tighter then before. She immediately began to wheeze and gasp for air and the kids became worried. "Mom?" Rylan asked and Ashley closed her eyes. She knew it. This was the last time she would have an attack because it was so severe she possibly couldn't pull herself out of this one. "C-Clay...." She finally said as she continued to wheeze and gasp for air then slowly raised up 5 fingers.

Clay's heart broke when he heard Rylan call for his mother. He closed his eyes for a minute and took a deep breathe gripping her hand tighter before driving for the hospital. When they arrived he quickly carried her inside not waiting for the kids. He saw her fading in and out and something told him she wouldn't be okay. "Ash,Ash stay with me, I'm right here stay with me." He pleads pushing away the tears as he didn't leave her side as they took her back. This was so random. What was happening?

The doctors began to immediately help her but there wasn't anything they could do. Her lungs were failing. "We are sorry, her lungs are failing and we can't save her. Her body itself is slowly starting to shut down." They told him and Ashley opened her eyes and slowly touched her husbands cheek. The hand with their wedding band. "It's over for me Clay..... I have no more strength to fight." She whispered and took in more gasps for air. She began to cry and said, "Don't be sad. I want you to move on and find another women to love you and the kids. You're still young and so are they." She whispered and felt her life slowly leaving her body. "I love you." She whispered with a smile and her hand fell as the line went flat. The doctors looked at Clay and sighed. "We are very sorry for your loss." They told him.

(brb crying.)


Clay shook his head. "No," he whispers. "No." He kept saying louder and louder until his tears overwhelmed his eye lids. He didn't let go of her hand he leaned down and kissed her. He quivered at the thought of it being the last time. Just a few hours ago they were all fine. How did this happen so quickly. How would he tell the kids. That thought made him break out into more tears. The kids, their mother left them, just like his had. He couldn't look at her like this anymore. It was too much. He but his lip and when he composed himself he walked back out into the room where everyone was waiting, his hands in his pockets. His puffy blood shot eyes staring back at them all he could do was shake his head as they all waited for a response.

(Same here.)


Krislyn looked at Clay as did Mallory and they already knew what happened. The kids however were scared and confused. Gaven hugged his wife close and Gaven slowly felt tears fall down his cheek. "Where's mom dad?" Cory asked and Rylan looked at his dad then everyone else. He was old enough to understand and that's why her ran to Krislyn and began to cry. The twins looked confused and Allie said, "daddy..... Is mommy..... Is she?" She stopped and tried to compose herself and then ran to her dad and hugged him tight. Cory did the same and they cried. Gaven shook his head. "We are so sorry this happened Clay." He said and he meant it. "She fought for so many years Clay. This was just one she couldn't win." He told him and sighed as he began to cry. Ashley was like a sister to him and now he just lost her.

Clay didn't want to hear how strong Ashley was, not right now. The kids needed him. He took them in his arms and bit back his own tears as held them close there was nothing he could say right now. He wasn't going to cry in front of them.

Rylan was crying the hardest. He had a closer connection to his mother then his siblings and it hurt. It felt like he lost his best friend. Allie and Cory were crying to and Allie buried her head in her dad's neck. "Why? Why mommy? She was still so young?" Allie said and Rylan pulled away from the hug and went to kick a chair as he sat on the ground and hugged his knees. "Why? Why? Why? Why my mom?! She didn't deserve this!" He exclaimed and Krislyn knelt down next to him. "Rylan please calm down. Your mom-" Rylan didn't let her finish, "Just shut up! I don't want your sympathy!" He exclaimed and Krislyn sighed.

Clay sighed leaving the twins with Gaven and Mallory. He slowly made his way over to Rylan and picked up off the ground and held him to his chest. "I know, I know." Clay says softly as Tylan succumb to his emotions he held him close running his fingers through his hair.

Rylan didn't fight his emotions anymore and the minute he had his face in his dad's chest, he cried uncontrollably. "She didn't deserve this..." He whispered and continued to cry and the twins looked at their older brother. "She just saved me from a concussion a few hours ago and now I won't hear her voice at my games ever again." He added and gripped his fathers shirt in his hands.

"I know," he says softly again closing his eyes for a minute to hide his tears. He took a deep breathe. "I know it isn't fair but at least ash is safe now." He almost choked on his words but he was determined not to lose himself in front of the kids. He needed to be strong for the kids. He knew what Rylan was feeling and it broke his heart, it's exactly what he didn't want them to go through.

"I know but she didn't deserve this dad... Why was she so sick anyways?" Rylan asked as he began to compose himself for his siblings. The twins looked at their dad and then Allie said, "Daddy, do you want to tell us the stories behind all the pictures?" Cory said, "or you can tell us when you're ready."

 

[Lexus]

Clay looked to his oldest son and sighed. "Your mom was born with weak lungs." He then turned to Allie and rubbed his hands on his face. "Not right now baby girl." was all he could say. Once Rylan was composed he let him go and went to walk out to shed his own tears.

 

[isax]

Rylan sighed at his fathers comment and when he walked out, the twins went and sat with Rylan. Gaven walked out after Clay and stood against the wall next to him. "Clay, she wouldn't want you like this." He told him and then walked over and gave his best friend a brotherly hug. He knew Clay was going to cry. It was his wife. Claire walked over and saw Clay crying and grinned, "What happened? Cory can't play baseball anymore?" She asked teasingly as her husband took her son in. Gaven looked at her and said, "F*ck off."

 

[Lexus]

"I don't care what she wants Gaven!" He exclaims pulling away from the hug and throwing his fists against the wall not paying any attention to Claire as he but his lip for the countless time in the last few minutes. That's when he lost it, he slid down the wall and out his face into his arms on his knees. "She's gone," he whispers. "She's gone."

 

[isax]

Seeing his best friend like this hurt Gaven so much. He sighed and sat down next to him. "I hate to be a downer but we knew this would happen eventually Clay. She warned you. She wanted to divorce you so you didn't have to put up with this." He whispered and tilted his head back and let out a deep sigh. "She may be gone from this world but you know she's your angel and is going to stay watching over y'all."

 

[Lexus]

"I understand you're trying to be optimistic but I honestly don't want to hear if Gaven. I really don't come talk to me when you lose your wife. It doesn't feel too peachy." He threw his hands up and stood up again. "Just because she warned me doesn't make it any easier."

 

[isax]

Gaven sighed. He knew he wasn't going through what Clay was. He stood up and then looked at his friend. "I get it. I haven't lost my wife. I get if with the warnings she gave you it didn't help. You're still young Clay and I know Ashley. She left you a letter where she said y'all had y'all's first kiss. She said we weren't supposed to tell you about it until she passed. When you're ready, she wants you to read it." He said then walked inside to go get his wife. Before they left Mallory gave Clay a hug and Krislyn said, "Want me to take the kids home with me so you can have some time to yourself?" She asked Clay.

 

[Lexus]

Clay wiped his eyes and shook his head at Krislyn. That would be selfis of him when his kids needed his comfort. "You All can go, we'll be home in the morning." Je kicked up dirt with his shoes. He had no choice but to pull the kids from the tournament to plan their mother's funeral.

 

[isax]

The kids walked over to their dad and hugged him close. "Everything will be okay dad." Allie said as she looked up at him and smiled. "Mom always told us if she died she would die happy knowing she gave you what you truly wanted." Cory added and smiled and Rylan hugged his dad tight. "She wouldn't want us sad dad. I know that's one thing she would want us to be." He whispered and felt tears coming again and wiped them on his fathers shirt.

 

[Lexus]

"I know, I know." Clay says with a sigh kissing each of their heads. "Your mother loved each of you very much, don't you ever forget that, don't forget her." It was important to him they remembered the beautiful and caring woman their mother was. This would be one tough road but he knew he could handle it on his own, that's what she would have wanted.

 

[isax]

"How could we possibly forget the woman who carried us in her stomach for nine months and made us the athletic people that we are?" Allie asked as she laughed softly then ran off to the car and said, "I call shot gun now!" Cory ran after her and Rylan stayed behind with his dad. "Dad, I'm giving up swimming.... I want to focus just on baseball. I feel like when I play now, I'll feel closer to mom since she played on the red dirt too." He told him then sighed. "I'm gunna miss her dad. She was more then my mom, she was my best friend too. And my coach."

 

[Lexus]

Clay nodded. "I understand and respect your decision." He offered his son a faint smile. "Your mom didn't want you to be a swimmer anyway." He says with a laugh as a few tears rolled down his cheek. "Let's go." He says leading him to the car.

 

[isax]

Rylan blinked and then sighed. He followed him to the car then got I go the back with Cory and stared out the window the entire ride. It was quiet and nobody sang along to the music. When Rylan heard his and his moms song come on however, he began to cry again and Cory looked at him, "Ry?" He asked and Rylan said, "Just turn it off! I don't want to listen to the song right now!" Allie flinched and turned off the radio and Rylan continued to cry. His sniffles could be heard.

 

[Lexus]

Clay shed a few more tears at his son'd plead but wiped them away before any of the kid's could notice. He knew Rylan would take it harder than his younger siblings because they were younger and it would be easier for them to accept their mom was gone. In the morning when they arrived home camera and news people were surrounding their home. The Waters were the family everyone strives to be and now that his wife was gone the town of course all wanted to know. He just shooed them away before carrying the kids inside. "Stay here." He says with a whisper before asking the last groups to leave. That's when her mom showed up. All he could do was glare at her and hold up a hand before she spoke. "Don't ask me if I'm okay, I'm not okay!" He exclaims. "My wife, the mother of my children has been robbed of their mother because you, you didn't want her! You're responsible for this, you took my best friend, the best thing to ever happen to me and you took her from me, from us!"
