Song doesn't belong to me, nor does cause of death, ( I can only dream though) all rights go to Taylor swift and EA. :)
" , I'm so sorry, but your son has acute leukemia. "
" What?" Natara's heart instantly shattered into a million pieces.
" Liam has acute leukemia." repeated the doctor, crushing any hope that Natara had heard wrong.
"How...How long does he have and can it be treated?"
" It's already in the advanced stages, so we would be looking at a few months at the least to a year. Again I'm so sorry . We can start Chemo and Radiation to help prolong his life, but, it won't really do that much, and it'll make Liam feel nauseous and sick a lot of the time. In my opinion, I would just bring Liam home, and keep him comfortable as possible until he passes. "
" I don't want to put Liam through that... So I should just bring him home then?"
" that's what I would do. I can give you some antibiotics to help with him feeling sick and the pain, if you like."
" yes please. Thank you Doctor."
" Of course. and Once Again, I am so sorry to be the one to tell you."
Natara gets into her car, about to leave the hospital parking lot. She started the car, and instead of driving home, drove in the opposite direction to the park. She got out of the car, and walked through a "secret" trail she and Liam found one day, and walked until she found their big tree. Under the trees shade, she sat down, and let the tears fall. She couldn't believe this was actually happening. This was a mothers worse nightmare. Unknowingly, she allowed her mind drift back to all the memories she has with her oldest son...
I remember your bare feet
Down the hallway
I remember your little laugh
Race cars on the kitchen floor
Plastic dinosaurs
I love you to the moon and back
Liam was only four, he's never gone to school before, allowing mommy-son time all the time. His favorite past time was playing with his dinosaurs or racing his little cars around the house, a gift from Natara and Mal.
I remember your blue eyes
Looking into mine
Like we had our own secret club
I remember your dancing before bedtime
Then jumping on me waking me up
He had Mal's eyes and his hair, with Nat's skin tone. He was not a heavy sleeper, infact, he hated to sleep. He would be like the Energizer bunny before bedtime, and every morning, ESPECIALLY holidays, he would run into Nat's bedroom and jump on her until she, or mal woke up.
-2 years later-
Natara stands in front of her sons grave. it's been exactly a year since he passed away. He was afraid to pass away, she knew. Her hand runs across the writing on the headstone.
" Liam Charles Fallon
Age 5
2013-2018
Fighter to the end"
I can still feel you hold my hand
Little man
And even in the moment I knew
You fought it hard like an army guard
Remember I, leaned in and whispered to you
Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years
Nat remembers the last day so perfectly. She knew his time was up. He needed to go now and stop suffering. She held his hand, and even now still remembers the feeling of his little hand in hers. He was so afraid to pass over. He thought he would never see his parents again. To calm him down, she leaned over, sobbing, and still sang him the lullaby she would sing to him for the past year.
and at the end of the song, he closed his eyes, and fell asleep. forever.
I remember the drive home
When the blind hope
Turned to crying and screaming why
Flowers pile up in the worst way
No one knows what to say
About a beautiful boy who died
And its about to be halloween
You could be anything
You wanted if you were still here
A few months after the funeral, Nat recalls how it was Halloween soon, and how it was Liam's favorite holiday, because he could anything he wanted to be. Natara remembers how his last halloween was a month after he was first diagnosed. And he was so afraid that he wouldn't be able to go trick-or-treating. But Natara reassured him that he would, and he ended up going. She remembers how he told her that he would be Superman, and she would be Wonder Woman. And she remembers having to rush him to the bathroom after he got sick from eating way to much candy too fast.
I remember the last day
When I kissed your face
And I whispered in your ear
Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
Out of this curtained room
And this hospital grey will just disappear
Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years
The past two weeks of his life, he spent in the hospital. And the last day, Natara whispered in his ear, her lullaby, adding a new line to the song, that he was her best four years.
What if I'm standing in your closet
Trying to talk to you?
And what if I kept your hand-me-downs
You won't grow in to?
And what if I really thought some miracle
Would see us through?
And what if the miracle was even getting
One moment with you?
Natara walks into his old room. It hasn't changed since the day he left for the hospital. She walks over the closet, and grabs his favorite pajamas that he would always wander the house around in. She sighs and sits on the bed, and let's the tears fall while she whispers the lullaby once more, just incase he can hear her from heaven.
"Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years"
I remember you bare feet
Down the hallway
I love you to the moon and
Back..
Natara takes one last look at the room, tucks the pajamas under her arm, wipes her tears, and leaves.
