Okay so I am getting bored of writing this fan fic, so I am going to quickly finish it in this chapter. So it is going to be quiet rubbish. Anyway hope you like it. Oh and please review
Ross was woke up by the noise of his phone. It was the hospital.
He got to the hospital as soon as he could. Emma was in the hospital crèche.
‘It isn’t looking good, the doctor told him. You can turn off the life support machine or keep her on it.’ Ross had a hard decision to make. He didn’t want to lose the love of his life, but he didn’t want her to be on machines for the rest of her life. What he wanted was for Rachel to be happy. He thought long and hard about it. What would Rachel want he thought, the thing was he didn’t know. He’d never asked her anything like this, he had no need to, and he never thought anything like this would ever happen to her, it always happens to over people, never someone you like or love.
After an hour of thinking he decided to turn off her machine. He wanted Emma to say goodbye first though and for him to be left in the room alone with her while she died.
The nurse brought Emma in.
‘Daddy why do I have to say bye to mommy?’ Emma asked
‘Because she wanted to visit the angels’ Ross told her
Emma said goodbye, kissed her cheek and went back to the crèche.
Ross turned off the machine. He sat down and held her hand. He could feel her pulse slowing down.
He started to sing, ‘‘See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you
With or without you
With or without you’ he sang in between sobs.
She had already died by the time he had finished singing the first verse but he didn’t want to stop.
‘Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for you
‘With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away’ Ross carried on singing
‘My hands are tied
My body bruised, she’s got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
With or without you’
He smelled her hair for one last time, kissed her and walked out of the room. He didn’t want to; it was killing him inside, leaving the person he has loved since he was fifteen behind. He couldn’t bring her back, no matter how much he wished.
He went to pick Emma up.
‘Daddy why you crying?’ Emma asked
‘Because I’m sad mommy’s going to live with the angels’
‘I’m sad too, But I’m going to see her when I’m older’
‘me too sweetie’
He had never called Emma sweetie before. Rachel always called her it. It felt right to call her it now.
When he got home, Ross put Emma into her bed. He went into the bathroom, where he saw all Rachel’s hair products. He sat on the floor and smelt the coconut shampoo. He started to cry. He laid down on the bath mat with the shampoo, where he fell asleep, and dreamed of happier times.
Authors note:
Okay sorry that Rachel died, that was the only quick ending. The song was with or without you by U2, which is Ross and Rachel’s song. I would like to thank Cassie Green for reviewing and for letting me use her lullaby (twice). Thank you for reading
