Austin's POV

Dear Austin,

If you're reading this, it means I've been taken out of this world. I know you're wondering, so here it is. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the cancer, but there was nothing you could have done. Unfortunately, cancer runs in the family. My grandmother died from it and my great-great-grandfather died from it as well. Anyway, there is a lot about Mia you need to know. So, here it goes.

Mia is allergic to cat fur and nuts and she has terrible hay fever. Make sure during the spring and summer she takes her allergy pills every morning and always has her inhaler. Also, remember how she got diagnosed with ADHD a few months ago? Every morning her pill gets crushed up and put in some applesauce during breakfast.

Whatever you do, do not give her sugar after 5:00 otherwise she will be up all night. Her bed time is at 6:30 and she's been being read the second Harry Potter book. She can't go to sleep without her nightlight and Captain Snuggles. It's fine for now, but try to get her off that in the next few years.

She has Gymnastics on Mondays and Wednesdays and Karate on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She usually would go to the park or pool on Fridays but only if her school work is done.

She was told she could get a pet hamster at the end of her 2nd grade school year, if she did well in school. She's been having a lot of trouble with math, so make sure you help her with her math homework. Every morning a lunch gets packed for her. A sandwich, some chips, fruit, a cookie, and a drink. Don't forget or she'll have to buy lunch.

I never told you this Austin, but my mom, well, she doesn't like you. She will fight you hard to get full custody of Mia, but if you remember that she belongs with you, she won't win.

Finally, I want to say that when the time comes when you think you're ready to start dating again, don't let me stand n the way. All I want is for you and Mia to be happy. Also, don't worry about how to explain my death to Mia. Just say what feels right to you.

Take care of yourself and our baby girl, Austin. Tell her you love her and give her hugs and kisses for me.

I love you with all my heart and wish the very best for you.

Goodbye, Austin.

Love,

Emily

My mom called to tell me about Emily on October 17th, 2016. I arrived at the hospital in just enough time to say goodbye to her. The few weeks between her death and her funeral Mia continued staying with Emily's mom, Charli, while I took care of some things. I discharged from the Airforce, applied for Medical School in Orlando, Florida, (I got my Master's Degree in the Airforce) bought a two-bedroom apartment, scheduled an appointment with the principal of Princeton Elementary School for Mia, signed her up for a new karate and gymnastics classes, bought a new car, and applied for a job as a medical assistant. After all of that was done, there was a few days left before the funeral, so after a long night's sleep (on my sister's futon), I made the long 22-hour drive from Miami to Cambridge, Massachusetts to pick up Mia. As to be expected, getting Mia and their dog Byron from Charli was a pain, but once a threated to get lawyers involved she reluctantly let Mia go. I packed up all her, Byron's and Emily's stuff before we headed back to Florida. A few days after Emily's funeral, I got a call from Emily's lawyer to discuss her will. During that meeting the next morning, I got her letter.

…...

Being in the Military is a family tradition. My great-grandfather was in the Marines, my grandfather was in the Army, my father was in the Navy, and after I graduated high school I enlisted in the Airforce. My mom took care of the family business and raised me, my older sister C.J., and my younger Spencer in Mimi, while my dad served across the seas. The three of us missed him a lot, but we knew it was part of the job.

…...

I met Emily in 8th grade. Charli and her had just moved to Miami from Washington and she was ready for a fresh start. I was on the football and baseball teams in both middle and high school while she was a valued member of S.T.E.M. in high school. She became friends with my best friend Dez because they had similar interests and became friends with me because, well, of Dez. The summer before starting Marino High School, I asked her out and we ended up being high school sweethearts. She opened up to me about things she had never told anyone, and I did as well. A week before I left for training and she was going to leave for M.I.T. (on a full scholarship), I proposed to her and we left for our new journeys with the promise to be married after we get our diplomas. During our first Christmas as an engaged couple, things got a little complicated. A few days before I was supposed to get back to the base, she told me that she was pregnant. After a lot of convincing, by her, she went back to Cambridge (with her mom moving there a few months later) and I went back to the base. After 9 long months, our baby girl Mia Catherine Moon was born. I spent a week of my vacation days with Emily and Mia before I went back to work. Parenting was hard being apart for a majority of the year, but we made it work. She graduated from M.I.T. in the summer of 2014 and got a waitressing job for around 6 months before beginning her career as an engineer. She was working for around a year and a half before discovering she had cancer. How she managed to keep it a secret from me for a year and a half, I have no clue.

…...

Now that Emily is gone, Mia and I must start a new live. Even with my family close by, this is going to be difficult. However, I didn't really grasp how complicated things were going to get. Stay tuned, because you are in for a wild ride.

…...

A.N.: Whelp. That's chapter one. Ally's introduction is up next. Read & Review please. In your reviews answer this question and I'll give you a shout out in the next chapter.

QOTC: If Austin wasn't a musician what do you think he'd be?

MA: I think he'd be an athlete. He's got the talent and the enthusiasm for it. Not to mention the body.

Anyway. The next chapter will be up soon. R&R please! Until then...

Brittney Out! :) 3 :P
