Apart from bytheborg who had nothing but bad words to say about it. I am going to give a definition of a solemate just for you..

soul mate

noun

somebody close to somebody else: somebody with whom somebody else naturally shares deep feelings and attitudes

I object to people who don't have constructive criticism. I'm a bit self-conscious of my work but I post it because I feel it's an achievement (do you need me to check again in the dictionary? Or do you think you can understand that word? for me, this way people can tell me what they think and if they like it then great if they have a way of helping me out with my writing then brilliant. But you just couldn't do that.

Anyway thanks to everybody else :) And here is the final chapter!

New Beginning and little babies

----------------------------------------------

"Now don't we feel better for doing that?†Ephram asked as him and Bright entered the car. They had been to talk to various teachers and the principal about work and things but the teachers told them not to worry and the work could wait.

"Yeah apart from the 'sorry to hear about Amy' I must have got that from several hundred pupils, most of which didn't know her and all the teachers I visited.†Bright complained. Its not that he minded the condolences but it was just a reminder that he didn't want. Amy was dead, true but as long as no one said anything he wouldn't think about it and instead, his sister would be away on a holiday. A very long holiday.

"Their just trying to help out that's all man, it happened with my mom. Just nod say thanks and walk on it's the only way.

Bright nodded. "God you're so annoying when you do that.

Ephram looked at him "Do what?

"Be right all the time.†Bright playfully punched him in the arm.

Ephram laughed, "What can I say? I'm a natural. It figures actually for once I haven't stuffed anything up in the past few months.

Bright nodded. "Don't speak to soon my friend, don't speak to soon.

The ring of Ephram's cellphone interrupted the moment. Ephram looked at the screen. "Hey dad, what's up?

"What? When? Oh my god. Okay I'm on my way.

Bright looked on worriedly. "What's happened?

"Its Madison she has gone in to labour.†Ephram said stunned.

"That's great news man, come on start the car up you have a kid about to be born.

Ephram turned the key in the ignition and started up the car. Ephram Brown was about to become a father.

-------------------------------------

Running down the hospital corridors Ephram ran towards the maternity unit. Seeing his dad in the corridor he rushed over. "How is she?

Andy smiled, "In labour!

"Oh my god, oh my god. Is this what it was like when I was born? Were you this nervous?

Andy nodded. "Yep but less talking, more walking or Madison is going to have this baby without you.†Ephram nodded and opened the door to the room. "Quite a rush, bet your not in a hurry after seeing that Bright?

Bright laughed. "I will have to find a girl first, although nurses will do.†He said as his eyes followed a nurse down the corridor towards the reception desk. "I'll be back in a few.

Andy laughed as he watched the young man head down towards the desk.

-------------------------------------

Madison was pleased to see Ephram as he entered the door, extending her arm she gestured for Ephram.

A half an hour passed and by that time an hour and a half had been full of fetal monitors and an IV being set up. Until the doctor came in and then they knew it was almost time. "How are you Madison?†she asked.

"Oh yes great.†She replied exasperated. "Ephram I don't think I can do this.†She said panicking.

Ephram rubbed the hair out of her face and squeezed her hand reassuringly. "You can honey I am right here for you. Just try and breathe.

"Its not as simple as an ANTENATAL CLASS.†She shouted as the pain grew.

"sssh its okay, look at me. I said look at me Maddy. Okay breath 1-2-3 come on follow my breathe 1-2-3.

Madison followed Ephram's breathing routine but was soon disrupted. A young female doctor interrupted the pair "Your fully dilated now Madison so your going to need to push.

"OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD†Madison shouted out as she began her pushing.

Ephram's face contorted in pain as Madison hung on to his hand painfully.

A nurse smiled at Madison "Okay your doing great, we just need another push.

Madison shook her head. "I can't its to hard.

The doctor looked up and nodded. "You can Madison just a few more pushes.

Ephram stood beside telling her to breath amongst his pain. "I actually think myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hand is broken.†He yelled as Madison took another push.

"Okay now one final push Madison we can see the babies head.†The doctor said happily.

Madison did as she was asked and with all her energy she gave one final push. All that could be heard were the cries of their baby as the umbilical cord was cut and the baby was placed on some scales then wrapped in a blanket. "Congratulations,†she said as he handed them the baby. "You have a healthy baby daughter weighing 7 pounds 2 ounces.

Ephram watched on in awe as the baby was placed in Madison's arms. "She's beautiful.

Madison smiled as she watched Ephram take it all in "She's perfect, she's ours.

Ephram nodded and held on to the babies little hands. "We have a little baby daughter this is so amazing.

Madison smiled, "I think I know what we should call her.†She said.

"What?†Ephram asked noticing her tired complexion.

"Amy.

Ephram nodded. "Amy? Huh? Okay I would love that.

Madison nodded. "I knew you would, so do I.

"You look tired this must have been really draining.†A nurse came over and took the baby of Madison and put it in a plastic like box. "Why don't you get some sleep the baby will still be near by, she will only be in the nursery.

Madison nodded at the nurse and closed her eyes. Ephram still shocked by the whole thing walked out the hospital room. A big grin filled his face as Andy came in to view. "Well how is she? How's the baby?

"I'm a dad. I have a daughter.

Andy laughed and pulled his son in for a hug "I am so happy for you both.

Bright was now beside the pair. "Congratulations man.

Ephram nodded. "Thanks there is one more thing, well two actually. She weighed 7 pounds and 2 ounces and we have called her um we called her Amy.

Bright felt his eyes well up. "Wow I mean wow, Thanks man, that means a lot.

Ephram shook his head in agreement. "This way she didn't miss out. Well Madison is sleeping so I am going to sit with her for a while, you guys can go home. Dad you can give Delia the good news.

"Come on Bright I will take you home, will you be okay son?

"Yeah go, I am going to go and see my daughter.†He smiled and walked off leaving the two men to leave.

-------------------------------------

The next few days passed as a blur. Madison and Amy were coming home so everyone was frantic getting everything ready. Delia especially was excited as her role as auntie was now kicking in. Ephram pulled up the car and watched as Madison sighed. "You okay?

"Yeah a little sore but I am so glad to be home.

Ephram got out of the car and went round to open Madison's door. Helping her and the baby out she carried on towards the house with Ephram by her side. "Well little one, this is your new home.†She said as they opened the door.

"SURPRISE!†everyone said as they entered through the door giving Madison the fright over life.

"And this is your family.†She laughed.

Delia was the first one to come towards the pair and see the baby. "Can I hold her?

Madison grinned at the enthusiasm the young girl showed. "Yep when we have sat down.

Ephram watched them sit on the couch. "How's the father holding up?†Andy asked.

Ephram nodded. "Pretty good but I am not looking forward to the sleepless nights and nappy changing.

Andy laughed. "You don't know the half of it son. You think it's not that bad now? Just you wait.

"Always the one to make the situation better weren't you dad.

Andy shook his head up and down. "Totally, now how about you help me with some tea and coffee making, looks like the girls have their hands full.†He said as he motioned towards Nina, Delia and Madison who were sitting and adoring the baby. "I can see Amy breaking some lads hearts.

"Dad she is a few days olds I do not want to think about boys just yet.

--------------------------------------

The doorbell disrupted the conversation in the house. Ephram was the first one to the door. Bright, Rose, Edna, Irv and Dr Abbot all stood holding gifts.

"Hey, come in there in the living room.

Madison thanked them for the kind gifts but all the family could do was thank them for naming the baby after Amy and how much it meant to them.

"Well we couldn't leave her out of the celebrations, she was a good friends to us, Ephram was her best friend.†Madison said.

They were interrupted once again by the sound of Amy starting to cry. "I think this little one needs a feed, excuse me. Madison said as she slowly lifted herself up off the couch.

"I'll help!†Bright offered but a hand on his chest soon stopped him.

"You step any further and I will not be responsible for my actions.†Ephram said playfully.

"Spoil my fun why don't you Brown.†Bright said pretending to look disappointed.

------------------------------------

A couple of days passed and the baby was becoming hard work for the young couple. Regularly they would get up in the night, usually more then once and try to stop the baby crying. It was the middle of the night and all was quiet in the house as the baby slept; Ephram found himself watching Amy and smiling as he remembered the happiness her birth gave him.

"She's beautiful Ephram.†Startled by the voice Ephram turned around, there his best friend stood.

"Amy?

"Who did you think it would be? I couldn't miss not seeing your daughter.

"But your, your um....

"Dead? I know I came to say thanks and that I'm okay.†Amy leant herself on the cot and peered over to see the baby wrapped up in her sheets, sleeping soundly.

"For what? What did you come and say thanks for?†Ephram asked as the shock started to sink in.

"Lets see you looked after Bright and you named your baby after me, I couldn't of wished for a better gesture and I was touched.

Ephram smiled, "I thought you might have wanted a piece of the day.

Amy laughed. "Thanks oh and you were right I am with Colin and I knew that you would realise that. He says hi by the way.

Ephram shook his head suddenly feeling strange. "This-this is so weird.

"Tell me about it I'm the dead one.

Amy watched as the baby stirred and her eyes began to open. "Hey there little one, you be good for your mom and dad okay? Their good people. You know she has your eyes.

Ephram nodded. "I-I miss you being around Amy.

"Who said I wasn't? I might not be here in person but I am in spirit. I've got to go Ephram and will you just ask her already, the wait is killing me.

Ephram looked at her as he realised what she meant, his jaw dropped. Looking away for a second he turned back thinking Amy would be there but she wasn't, smiling at his daughter he mumbled that Amy was right and went to leave the room only to come face to face with Madison.

"Now I didn't hear her wake up, why didn't you wake me? you did the last shift.

"You were so peaceful, I couldn't sleep so here I am.

Madison moved herself over towards the cot. "I still can't believe she is ours.

"Well you better believe it, I think she has my eyes.

Madison giggled. "Yeah she does but she has my hair even thought she doesn't have much of it right now. Come on she is asleep we need to get as much sleep as we can whilst she is in the sleeping mode.

"Ma-marry me.†Madison had started to walk out the room when she stopped in her tracks with the sound of Ephram's voice. "Marry me Madison.

"Your sixteen Ephram the baby was enough.

"So we-we have a long engagement, I'm actually almost seventeen. We can get married when I'm eighteen. I don't care as long as you say yes.

Madison felt a huge grin cross her face, "Of course I want to marry you. I love you!†Madison embraced him as the two laughed with excitement. The crying of Amy interrupted the two. Laughing Madison collapsed in to Ephram's body. "Were going to be a proper family. If people had said that I would of met the love of my life and had a child in the space of a year and a half I would of laughed at them.

"Would you change any of it?†Ephram asked.

"Not a bit apart from Amy's death.

"Somehow I think she's okay and that she is happy.

Madison nodded and tended to Amy. "I hope so, there you go theres your dummy.

Amy began to quieten down "So when are we going to tell your dad?

"I say lets hit him with it tomorrow at breakfast he will have the coffee and morning paper and the all important good mood.

Madison shared another smile with Ephram and let him wrap his arm around her. "I love you Madison Kellner.

"And I love you Ephram Brown but less of the Kellner if were getting married then Madison Brown is definitely the way to go. It has a nice ring to it don't you think.

Ephram kissed her forehead and the two went back to bed knowing their little baby was sleeping soundly.

Curtain Falls – Blue

We come from humble beginnings and
Who could have guessed it when
You sit and doubt it and
Things aint all that bright
But we made it though the night
It´s like a game of truth or dare
If you can make it here
You´ll make it anywhere
That´s what we´ve been told
But the stories getting old

Together we faced the cold outside
No one can say we didn´t try
And I will never give you up or let you go
Together we faced our final fears
Remember the moments that we shared
That´s why I'll never give you up or let you go

We´ll be ready when the curtain might fall
Feel my heart beating when the crowd calls
I gotta read between the lines
Cuz I'm living out the script of my life
Cuz we all got a part we must play
And I've done it but I've done it my way
I gotta read between the lines
In the script of my life

We started out many years ago
No one will ever know
How far we´ve really come
Since we walked away
And no more words to say

And we made a lot of sacrifice
Undid a lot of ties
Fought a lot of fights
To get where we are now
Just don´t ask me how

Together we faced the cold outside
No one can say we didn´t try
And I will never give you up or let you go
Together we faced our final fears
Remember the moments that we shared
That´s why I'll never give you up or let you go

We´ll be ready when the curtain might fall
Feel my heart beating when the crowd calls
I gotta read between the lines
Cuz I'm living out the script of my life
Cuz we all got a part we must play
And I've done it but I've done it my way
I gotta read between the lines
In the script of my life
