Over And Over Again
Maya rushed through the hospital doors. Her eyes searching for anyone familiar and noticed she must have been the first to arrive. She went over to the front desk, trying to calm down her breathing. "I'm-I'm here for Joshua Matthews."
She watched as the nursed type into the computer taking what seemed like forever before looking up and speaking to her.
"Are you a family member?"
Maya's heart drop. No, she wasn't technically a family member but he was the love of her life. "I'm his girlfriend."
Her heart dropped even further as the lady gave her a sympathy look. "Sorry, young lady, but I can't give you any information unless you are a family member."
Maya felt her world start to crash in as the lady words slapped her in the face. She walked away from the desk. She sat down in one of the waiting room's uncomfortable chairs feeling numb as the conversation, the heated conversation her and Josh had only hours ago.
"I want to get married Maya."
"Why?"
"Why not is the bigger question. We've been together for years. We already live together. So what are we waiting for?"
"Exactly, marriage is just a piece paper, Joshua. We don't need it."
"It's not just a piece of paper to me. It's a life long commitment that we are going to take on the world together. Become a family. Start a family."
Maya rolled her eyes, shaking her head. "We don't need it and we don't need it to start a family. If this about our children's last name I've already told you they will be Matthews so you don't have to stress about that."
Josh shook his head, "You don't get it. I love you more than anything in this entire world. I want to show the world how much I love you. I want to make you my wife. Is it me? Am I not who you want to marry?"
Maya felt her heart break, "No, Josh. I love you-"
Josh held his hands up, "Just forget it."
Maya watched as Josh grabbed his coat and helmet as tears started to form, "Where are you going?"
"Out."
"You're coming home, right?"
Josh looked at her for a moment, "Is this home to you? Is there where you want to spend forever?" he asked before walking out the door.
She closed her eyes, letting out a long breath before saying a little prayer that wouldn't be the last thing he asked her. The last conversation they had. She harshly wiped away her tears and stood up when she saw Topanga and Cory come through the emergency doors.
"How is he?" Topanga asked.
Maya's tears fell harder as she shook her head. "They won't tell me anything because I'm not his family."
Topanga's heart broke for the girl, pulling her into a hug as Cory walked over to the front desk to find out something.
"Maya, you have to calm down sweetie before you go in shock," Topanga comforted as she felt the girl shake in her arms.
"I just need him to be okay."
"And he is going to be. Josh isn't going to give up on life with you."
Maya swallowed but didn't have a chance to say anything as Cory walked over to the two.
"He is in the ICU and awaiting surgery. I'm going to go see him really fast before they take him in"
Maya's heart started to pounce against her chest.
"He's going to be okay," Cory assured her, gently, resting a hand on her shoulder. "Josh is strong."
Maya nodded, biting her lip. "Will you tell him I love him?"
Cory nodded, giving her a small smile. "Of course."
Maya took in a deep breath as she watched Cory walk down the hall towards Josh's room. She would give anything in the world to be the one making the walk. To see Josh.
"Maya, why don't we go sit down."
Maya turned to stared at the woman who was like a second mother to her, "We had a fight," she admitted softly. "We had an argument and he left and now he is in the hospital."
Topanga gave Maya a sad smile. "Couples fight, sweetie," she eased, resting a hand on her shoulder.
Maya shook her head, pulling away from Topanga, "You don't understand. We had a fight about marriage and now I'm standing here because I can't be back there with him because I'm not his family."
"You are his family."
"No, I'm not. At least not by papers because if I was his wife I would be back that but since I'm just his girlfriend. I can't be. It doesn't matter that we have been together for seven years. None of them care!"
"Maya calmed down, sweetie," Topanga comforted, leading Maya back over to the chairs. "You need to be strong for Josh."
Maya nodded, trying to study her breathing.
"Did Josh propose?"
Maya shook her head, "No. We were talking about it and I know he wants to but-"
"You don't want to get married?"
"No, I do, I want to marry Josh."
"Then what's the problem?"
"I'm scared. What if getting married changes everything? What he realizes I'm not the wife he thought I would be?"
"You have no reason to be scared or have doubts, Maya."
"I know it's stupid."
Topanga couldn't help but look at the girl who was a second daughter to her with sympathy as she wiped away her tears. "Josh loves you and wants to build a life with you."
"I want that to. I want to build life with Josh."
Topanga gave her a reassuring smile. "Then allow yourself to have that happiness."
XOXOXOX
Maya wasn't sure when she fell asleep or how long she was sleeping but she felt the gently shove and Topanga's voice telling her to wake up before opening her eyes.
"Josh is awake and asking for you."
Maya's heart skipped a beat. "He's okay?" she asked as she stood up so quickly she became a little light headed.
Topanga nodded, smiling. "Yeah, his surgery went perfect."
Maya let out a huge breath of relief and couldn't help the smile that came to her face as her hand went to her chest. She was lead down to Josh's room. Both Topanga and Cory step aside, giving her reassuring smiles and allowed her to go in to see Josh by herself
Maya stood in the doorway staring at Josh for a moment before walking fully into the room.
"Hey Gorgeous."
Maya smiled. "Hey Boing," she greeted back as she carefully leaned over, pressing her lips against Josh's. "How are you feeling?" she asked quietly.
"I've been better."
Maya nodded, taking in Josh's injuries as even more tears started to form in her eyes.
"I'm okay," he reassured her, reaching for her hand and giving it a small squeeze.
Maya nodded again, taking his hand in both of her and placing a soft kiss on it. "I love you so much," she told him softly. "I'm so happy you are okay. I never knew I could love someone as much as I love you, Josh. I'm sorry about what we were arguing about before you left-"
"Maya. Don't. It' okay."
Maya shook her head, "It's not okay," she breathed out, closing her eyes for a moment. "Josh I want to marry you. You have to know that. I want to marry you more than anything in the world. I want you to be my husband. The father of my children. The one I grow old with."
Josh smiled, staring loving into her eyes. "Is this real life or is this me on drugs imagining you saying you want to marry me?"
Maya chuckled, shaking her head, "Stop. Josh, I meant every word I just spoke. I want to be Mrs. Matthews."
"So you're saying you really want to marry me?"
Maya nodded, returning his smile. "You asked me before you left if this was home to me and it is. You're my home and wherever you are is home to me because you have my heart. Josh, I love you so much."
"I love you the same."
XOXOXOX
Maya walked into her apartment after a long day after work only to stop dead in her tracks as her mouth hung open. She heard the door slam behind her but she couldn't take her eyes off of her almost fully recovered boyfriend standing in the middle of their living room decorated with roses and candles every where.
"Josh," she breathed out.
"You told me a month ago you wanted to become so it's now time for me to officially ask you to," he told her, holding his hand out for her to take.
Maya smiled, putting her hand into his as he pulled over to the middle of their living room.
He stared at her for a moment tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear. "I love you," he whispered.
"I love you too," she said back in the same tone.
"I don't think you'll ever know how much you mean to me or how much I truly love you and need you in my life. I know we have had our ups and downs but from the first hello and smile you captured me unlike anyone else. That's all it took. And I knew from that moment there would be no one else for me. I knew I had found the one to live for. I know in that little head of your's you get doubts and think I need more but I don't. You are all I need. You are my everything, Maya, and I'm so happy you have trusted me with your heart because I plan to hold on to it forever. I plan on holding on to you forever. To keep you safe. To protect you. To love you for the rest of my life. Just like you trust me with your heart, I trust you with mine and that's why."
Maya bit her lip as a huge smile came to her face and tears rolled down her cheeks watching and letting out a little gasp as Josh dropped down on one knee.
"I want to ask you to take on the world with me by being my wife. Maya Penelope Hunter will you marry me?"
Maya slowly nodded her head, "Yes," she answered, dropping down on her knees herself to hug Josh. She pulled away, placing a quick but full of passion on Josh's mouth." I love you," she murmured against his lips before kissing him again.
"I love you too," he said back, kissing her cheek before they both looked down at the diamond ring when he placed it on her finger.
Maya smiled looking down at the ring before looking up at Josh's loving blue eyes. "You know I can't wait to become Mrs. Matthews."
"I can't wait either."
"And you know the first thing I'm going to do as ."
Josh narrowed his eyebrows in seductively, "Rock my world."
"Oh, I'm going to rock it alright," she teased. "I'm going to make you get rid of that bike."
Josh frowned, "But you love my bike."
"I did love your bike. Past tense but after what happened I can't get another call like that in my life."
Josh sat silent for a second and Maya thought they were about have their first big argument as an engaged couple but instead Josh nodded, "Okay. If it eases your mind. I'll get rid of my bike."
Maya smiled, feeling like a weight had been lifted off of her shoulders. "Good because we going to have to get a car so we can load our children around."
"Children?"
Maya nodded, "Well at first a child unless we have twins but yeah after we get married then comes baby, right?"
"Then comes baby," he murmured, agreeing. "So we are really going to take on the world together."
"Yes," Maya smiled, placing her lips on Josh's, knowing this was the best decision of her life.
"We're one plus one."
"Two for life."
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone. Happy Birthday to Joshua Matthews. I hope everyone enjoyed. Please leave me a review with your thoughts. Until next time xoxo.
