Thanks for the reviews, here comes chapter 3!
I don't own the song in this chapter, it's called 'From this Moment On' & is by 'Shania Twain'
Enjoy! x
"Charging 200, stand clear, shocking now"
Smithy stood watching helplessly as the doctor slammed down onto Kerry's chest and she jolted out of the bed, but she was still in rhesus.
"What's your decision love?" Mrs Young asked her daughter, knowing that if she wanted to return, there was only a matter of moments left until it was too late.
Kerry remained silent, doubting whether she was about to make the right decision or not.
"Kerry, your answer!" her Mum pushed.
Kerry's eyes filled up with tears as she looked deep into her mother's big blue eyes.
"Mum, we've only just been reunited after all these years...I don't want us to be apart again"
Cree Young placed a hand onto her daughters shoulder and pleaded
"Darling please, you only have seconds left to decide. Remember what I showed you and tell me you're decision...Now"
"Charging 200..."
Once again, Kerry jolted from the hospital bed as she was shocked but the loud flat beep coming from the machine failed to change tune so the doctor turned the button to make the shock to the young blonde's heart more powerful.
"Charging 360, clear, shocking now"
"Are you sure?" Cree Young checked.
Without saying a word, Kerry replied by simply giving a nod. Taking her daughters hand in hers, Cree smiled at her daughter.
"It's your decision and I can see why you may have found it a tough one but I know you've made the right decision darling"
The doctor sighed and turned to face Smithy who was stood crying emotionally behind the glass screen.
"I'm very sorry" the doctor apologised.
Using the palm of his hand, Smithy rubbed the tears from his face and shook his head.
"No, no you try again. One more time"
The doctor sighed again before adding
"Sergeant Smith I..."
"Please!" Smithy pleaded loudly.
Once again, the doctor turned around to face the unconscious Kerry and nodded to one of the nurses standing opposite him.
"Okay, last time... come on Kerry! Charging 360, stand clear, shocking now"
As the huge shock flew towards Kerry's heart, she jolted from the bed for what seemed like the millionth time to Smithy but when her heart failed to start beating. The doctor quietly placed the equipment down and looked at his colleagues standing around the bed.
"I love you Mum" Kerry exclaimed, wrapping her arms around her heavenly mother.
After returning the emotional hug, Cree Young pulled away, kissed her daughter lovingly on the forehead and declared
"I love you too my beautiful precious angel. You've made the right decision and I want you to have faith that you will have the future that I showed you. I'll always be here watching over you darling and remember, wherever you are, I will also be"
"Are we all agreed we done everything we can?" the doctor asked his colleagues standing around.
They nodded in unity and the doctor looked down at his watch.
"Time of death..."
Suddenly, the loud flat beeping coming from the monitor changed and a heart beat tune filled the room. The doctor looked up from his watch, Smithy stared hard through his tear filled eyes and the other hospital staff in the room stood still. Within seconds, Kerry Young blinked open her eyes.
"Kerry!" Smithy shouted excitedly and emotionally from his position behind the glass screen and started rushing towards the bed but was held back by a nurse.
"From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on"
"Miss Young, are...are you okay?" the doctor questioned, feeling quite astonished that just a few seconds ago he was about to call her dead.
Feeling tired, emotional and confused, Kerry gave a weak smile and nodded.
"Erm, okay. We're gonna need to carry out some tests to check that you're okay...inside. I'll just go get the forms"
With that, the nurses left the room and the doctor followed but he stopped at the side of Smithy.
"It's...it's a miracle!"
"From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on"
All Smithy could muster up was a smile and he watched as the hospital staff left, leaving him and Kerry alone in the room. Smithy walked over to Kerry's bed, trying to find the right words to say.
"Nice of you to return to me. Erm...I mean us" he exclaimed, lowering his head and he felt himself blush.
"I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you"
"Did you mean what you said?" Kerry asked after a few seconds of silence.
Smithy had a good idea of what she was talking about but didn't want to embarrass himself if he was wrong.
"What did I say?" he asked.
Kerry shifted her sad looking eyes away from Smithy and the young Sergeant quickly realised he'd made a mistake by not answering straight.
"From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on"
"If you can't remember then you obviously didn't mean it" Kerry muttered quietly, but not quiet enough.
Smithy reached out and placed Kerry's pale hand into his.
"If you're talking about when I told you that I loved you..."
Kerry turned back to look at Smithy's big emerald green eyes as she waited for the end of the sentence. Smithy flashed his handsome smile which made Kerry feel butterflies inside.
"Then yes, I meant it"
Kerry returned the smile and replied
"Good because...I meant it too. Smithy...I love you"
"You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you"
Smithy's smile couldn't possibly get any bigger than it already was and he was gleaming from ear to ear. Wanting to make the most of the moment, the love struck Sergeant leant in and delicately placed a kiss onto Kerry's soft pale coloured lips and felt her return his kiss.
After a few moments, Smithy pulled away, even though he felt as though he could have stayed like that forever. Smiling and looking down at the woman he loved, Smithy asked
"So, now what?"
Looking into the eyes of the man she loved, Kerry replied
"Now, we look forward to our future. Together"
"From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on"
