So I've had this idea for awhile now, and I thought it would be quite cute to write. This was sorrtaa rushed, but I wouldn't say this was bad.. So the bold text throughout the story is the song that this story is based off of. It is called "My Immortal" By Evanescence. Anyways, I really hope you guys enjoy. Favorite and review if you can! I love chu all,

I'm so tired of being here.
Held back by all my childish fears.
And if you have to leave..
I wish that you would just leave.
Because your presence still lingers here.
And it won't leave me alone.
She had been in bed with a fever for a few weeks now. It had started to bother me, actually. She had been doing this for awhile. Randomly collapsing, and ending up in bed for a long time. It would never be over a week until she was up again. She had to take some time off of work, so things were going much more slowly around here. Of course, that would be the case even if she weren't sick, considering the fact that she was pregnant as well. Anything could happen to her. All I really can think about is her.
Fortunately, she's been able to talk to me more often. Around the first few days of her sickness, she was unable to talk. All she was able to do was drink and eat certain things.
My faith had slowly returned once she was up and moving again. She was still in pain, but she said it had been bearable. I went off to work one day, hoping she would be okay on her own. I was horribly mistaken.
These wounds won't seem to heal.
This pain is just to real.
There's just so much
That time cannot erase.
Walking home from work, a blizzard began. I had this strange feeling. I could comprehend this feeling, but it was like something was wrong. Something was really wrong.. I arrived home 10 minutes earlier then usual, and thank Shinigami I did. She had come down with a fever, and suddenly went into labor 3 weeks early. I ran to the window, opening the shades. The roads were blocked. I couldn't bring her anywhere. She was going to have to give birth here.
Instantly, I called over her father, telling him the situation and for him to get here immediately. I sat by her side the long 10 minutes. Every cry of pain I heard from her strained my heart more and more. I grasped onto her hard tighter assuring her that everything was going to be okay. We would be a happy family soon. We would have a beautiful daughter, and all three of us would live happily together. I'm not sure it was helping very much, but I would think it did. She smiled sometimes, but her pain was still obvious.
Spirit arrived with a nurse following behind him. God knows where he found her. Who am I kidding, probably got her off the bar. The joke caused me to crack a slight smile, only to instantly disappear after a moan of pain from Maka. The nurse instructed me to do anything I can to support Maka. She gently told her to take deep breaths, which seemed no use when she continued breathing heavily, but it showed that she was making an effort. It looked like she knew what she was talking about. All I could do now is hold onto her hand and listen to her suffering.
Maka lost cautiousness over and over again. Waking up and passing out because of the pain. It was cruel to watch. I wanted to just hide. It stretched on and on with no end in sight. I lost track of time. It felt like an eternity. I was so close to passing out myself. After awhile, it felt like my heart couldn't take it anymore. I had run out of hope.
Then, I heard it. Our baby's first cries.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears.
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.
And I held your hand through all of these years.
But you still have.
All of me.
I gently took the baby into my arms. The world seemed to slow down around me, but the cries came out normally. I turned back to my wife.
"Maka.. Maka... MAKA!" I grasped onto her arm, still holding onto the baby with my other arm.
"S- Soul." She replied weakly. I felt a wave of relief wash over me.
"She's here! Maka. She's right here! You can hear her, right? That's our baby crying."
I noticed her struggling to keep her eyes open. I put the baby right in front of her.
"I- I got to hold her before anybody else? See?"
"She turned out.. so cute.."
"This is our little baby, Maka. This is our little Hanna. She's our healthy baby girl."
"Yeah.. I'm so glad I could have her here with you.. I'm sorry I had to make it hard for Hanna.. But at least we we're all together.."
"You did a great job, I mean it!"
"H- Hey.. I'm starting to feel a little tired.. C- Could you let me rest..? Just for a second?"
I felt something shoot through my heart as I grabbed onto her hard harder. This isn't happening. We we're going to be a happy family. We are going to live together, and we're going to raise Hanna together. Voices quietly echoed in the background, but the only things I could hear clearly was the crying of our daughtetr, and Maka's last few words.
"Maka, wait, Maka not yet. C'mon, let's talk a bit longer, okay? You don't have to say anything, just listen."
Her eyes opened slightly in an effort to stay. But they closed soon afterwards. She obviously didn't have enough strength left to even keep them open.
You used to captivate me by your resonating light.
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind.
Your face - it haunts my once pleasant dreams.
Your voice - it chased away all the sanity in me
"I'm going to call her name, okay?" I looked down at the baby. "Hanna, it's daddy. And look, it's mommy, see?" She continued crying. "S- She's ignoring me. I guess she doesn't understand yet." My eyes slowly begin to water as watched her. Maka's eyes opened once again, her eyes fixed onto the baby. She had them open for a few seconds before closing them again.
"I bet she'll grow up before we know it. She'll be starting school.. We'll have to go clothes shopping with her.. We'll have open house, and school festivals to go to. We'll do it all as a family." I felt a lump in my throat as tears streamed down my cheeks. Her attempts to keep her eyes open were in vain, but they were still trying hard to stay open.
"Even.. Even though I used to make fun of those things when I was growing up.." My eyes widen as her eyes closed completely, and her grip on my hand released.
These wounds won't seem to heal.
This pain is just to real
There's just too much that time cannot erase.
"H- Hey!" I breathed, letting go to her hand as it fell limp onto the bed.
"M- Maka!" I moved closer to her. "Come on.. Hey!"
Memories of us flashed quicker then I could see. When I first met her. When I played that song. Wen we first became partners.. When I asked her out, and when I proposed..
"Maka.. Y- You promised me you would always be by my side. You promised that we would always be together, remember? Over and over again, we both promised.. T- That was my only dream.""
I closed my eyes, the tears rushing down freely as I continued. "I couldn't do anything before I met you.. B- But even someone as useless like me finally found something to live for, right Maka? Right?"
"Maka... MAKA" I screamed, hugging her tightly. The memories came faster and faster as I rested my head onto her shoulder. All the times I've saved her.. And all the times she's saved me. Those stupid moments when we would just do flat out retarded things with our friends. Every single part of my life from when I met her played inside my head. But soon, all my thoughts led up to when we first met.
We never should of met. We should of kept walking our separate paths... We would never of gone out.. We would of never get married. And.. Hanna would never of been born. Then at least.. I wouldn't have to go through so much suffering..
We.. Never should of met.
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone.
But though you're still with me.
I've been alone all along..
Welp, that's a wrap. And I'm pretty sure what 50% of you are thinking: DIS IS A RIPOFF FROM AN ANIME. ~Fu Chan
Well yeah, that's basically what inspired this story. I really hope chu all enjoyed. And after writing this, something makes me want to continue Soul's life after Maka's death. I guess I'm getting a bit to obsessed with writing. x3
