Streets Of Heaven Chapter 1: Streets of Heaven, a power rangers fanfic

Authors Note: This was a story redone, and added a chapter…. I felt it needed something more, so RR and let me know what you think!

Hello God, it's me again. 2:00 a.m., Room 304.
Visiting hours are over, time for our bedside tug of war.
This sleeping child between us may not make it through the night.

"My little girl…" Kimberly said aloud as she sat in the chair right next to her hospital bed. It wasn't the first time she has been in the hospital… and she feared that it could be the last. She looks down at her watch, seeing how late it is. Her daughter was sleeping comfortably, but she knows that it would not last. The pain comes and goes. She has been sick for so long… too long. Hot tears start to sting her eyes and she take in a deep breath. Her strength is what kept her sane… her strength was what let daughter know that everything will be ok. Many nights she has spent, sleepless nights with this little girl, and every night kept on getting shorter. She sat at her bedside and strokes her brown hair as she slept. As she did that, a hand fell upon her shoulder…

Well, it must be kind of crowded,
On the streets of Heaven.
So tell me: what do you need her for?
Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever.
But right now I need her so much more.

"Kimberly." Her husband says quietly, but she couldn't look at him. She couldn't take her eyes off the little girl in the bed. "Kim… you have to try and get some sleep. Let me stay with her for the night."

The words flow over her like a cold wind and she thinks, "Did he just say that?! Did he just tell me that I should leave my baby? "What?" She managed to say out loud to him.

"You need to get some rest."

"How can I possibly rest when she is lying here?" She asks him, yelling at him as quietly as possible. "How can you say that to me? I can't leave her! I can't!" She was trying desperately not to cry, because once she starts she doesn't think she could stop.

"I'm not saying leave her… I'm saying just get some rest…"

"No. That's out of the question." She says a bit too loud because their daughter's eyes opened. She looks down at the brown eyes the two shared and immediately put on a fake smile… it just seems so natural to do now.

"Mommy…"

"Shh…" Kimberly says, brushing the bangs out of her face. "It's late."

"Where's daddy." She asks her voice barely audible. She hadn't even realized that he had walked across the room.

"I'm here Princess." Tommy says, coming up behind me.

"Can we go home?"

"Not yet honey." Kimberly tells her, watching her start to tear up. "What is it?" I ask her, "Alexis, what's wrong?"

"I want to go home mom. I don't want to stay here anymore." She says as the tears start to fall. "Am I going to die?"

"Oh Lexi." She takes her into her arms and try my best to comfort her. She couldnt tell her if she is going home or not because no one knew for sure… "We are going to get you a new heart." Kimberly says, trying to comfort both Alexis and herself.

She's much too young to be on her own;
Barely just turned seven.
So who will hold her hand when she crosses the streets of Heaven?
Tell me God, do you remember the wishes that she made,
As she blew out the candles on her last birthday cake?
She wants to ride a pony when she'd big enough.
She wants to marry her Daddy when she's all grown up.

She holds her daughter until she falls asleep, then covers her up and sit back, watching her. She could feel her heart breaking, and the tears threaten to fall even more. "She's only seven Tommy." She tells her husband, shoulders slumping and a tear escapes. Tommy takes the seat next to her, wraping his arms tightly around her, pulling her in close. "She's a baby Tommy…"

"She'll be ok." He says, looking at our daughter. "She has to be."

"What if they don't find a heart in time?"

"Kimberly, don't think that way. Don't give up."

"My god I can't lose her." She says, starting to cry against his chest. She just doesn't know what else to do.

Well, it must be kind of crowded,
On the streets of Heaven.
So tell me: what do you need her for?
Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever.
But right now I need her so much more.
She's much too young to be on her own;
Barely just turned seven.
So who will hold her hand when she crosses the streets of Heaven?

"Why is this happening to us?" Why our daughter?"

"I don't know."

"Tommy, look at her. She is so young. She can't die!" She knows that she sounds like a broken record, but she just can't help it. "I don't know what I am going to do with out her. I want her to get a new heart so bad, but I feel so horrible waiting for some child to die so my child can live."

"Don't think of it that way Kimberly…" He says, wiping his eyes.

"She's been sick for so long…" her voice trailing off.

Lord, don't you know she's my angel
You got plenty of your own
And I know you hold a place for her
But she's already got a home
Well I don't know if you're listenin'
But praying is all that's left to do
So I ask you Lord have mercy, you lost a son once too

"I don't want her to suffer anymore. I don't want her to be sick."

"I know Kim… I don't either."

Alexis wakes up again, one more time and looks at them and says, "It hurts…"

Tommy gets up and goes to get a nurse to give her some pain medicine to keep her comfortable.

"We'll get you something honey." Kim says, kissing her forehead.

As she administers the medication she looks down at the child and says, "Viral cardiomyopathy is one of the most painful for the children." And with that, she walks out, leaving them with their daughter.

"I love you Alexis…" .

"I love you mommy." She says.

"You have made daddy and I very happy." She tell her bravely. She is scared that if she doesn't tell her now she won't get a chance too later.

"I love you too Lexi." Tommy says to her, kissing her cheek.

"I love you daddy." She says, closing her eyes.

Kimberly just sat there silently and prayed…

And it must be kind of crowded,
On the streets of Heaven.
So tell me: what do you need her for?
Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever.
But right now I need her so much more.
Lord, I know once you've made up your mind,
There's no use in beggin'.
So if you take her with you today, will you make sure she looks both ways,
And would you hold her hand when she crosses the streets of Heaven.

"Please lord… don't take my little girl. She is just a baby. I don't know what I am going to do if she dies. I know that I don't have any control over this, but please… I don't know what else to do." Kimberly says in my mind… clinging to her husband, watching my daughter through a mask of tears. "I don't know what else to do. Please, find her a heart so she can live. My daughter doesn't deserve this… Please, please, please, spare my daughters life. She is perfect… she deserves to live a full life… her brother and sister needs her just as much as her father and I do… don't take my baby. Please God, don't take my angel." She continues to stare at her daughter, seeing how much pain she was in and says, "Please, make her pain and suffering stop. Please, just make her pain go away." She says aloud as she buries her face against her husband's chest and cry. He holds her, rubbing her back, grief in his eyes, watching their daughter's heart monitor beat in the darkness. "I can't live without her Tommy… but I can't let her suffer. I want it to stop… I want it to be over…"

"So do I Kimberly…" He says, kissing the top of her head.

"God… Please help her." She was beginning to lose complete control of all her emotions.

Suddenly, the beeping stops… Both parents looked at her, and both immediately knew that their daughter was gone. God has answered Kim's prayers. She looked at her daughter as Doctors and Nurses rush in, working on her for a few minutes, before they said,

"Mr. and Mrs. Oliver… I am very sorry…" Kim watched the doctor's mouth move and finish his sentence, but she couldn't hear him. All she could do was look at my daughter. The virus had taken her life… her pain was over… and their pain had just begun.

The streets of Heaven

It was October 14th, 2015, Kimberly was getting ready in their room for Alexis's funeral.

"Kimberly, are you ready honey?" Tommy called to her.

"Can you be ready for this?" She asks, zipping up her black dress, and headed down stairs and into the family room where their two younger children are sitting, watching Saturday Morning cartoons. "Michael, Hailey, get your shoes on kids, it's time to go." Kim tells them, her voice cracking. She looks at the two kids and saw how sad they are and was almost reduced to tears. Michael's five, and Hailey's going to be three in a month… she doesn't understand why Alexis can not come back, and she won't remember her when she gets older. Michael knows how sick she had been over the past years, and understands that she's in Heaven right now, but doesn't understand why his sister was taken from us.

"Mommy…" Michael says coming up to me.

"Yes honey?" She asks, looking at him.

"I miss Lexi." He says, looking at the ground.

Kim kneels down next to him and says, "I do too Mike, and it's ok to miss her."

"I miss her a lot." He says, starting to cry. She picks him up, and hug him, trying not to cry herself. She has always been strong she reminds herself, she was the Pink Ranger for god's sake… but she was my daughter. She holds him until he calms down, and then puts him back on the ground. "I'll be right back." She tells him and walks upstairs to tell Tommy to hurry up. "We better go Tommy."

He nods, and we head over to the Church and then the Cemetery. Yesterday was her viewing. It was open casket, but Kimberly couldn't stay around her. It was too painful looking at her drawn up like a doll, looking like she had fallen asleep in her old No matter how hard it was, their friends helped them through this. Jason came back from Pennsylvania when he heard the news, Billy came back from England with Trini, and the rest were around. The others saw her at her best and worst. Everyone was heartbroken, but mine was shattered. Everyone said how sorry they were, and left, except for our close friends and family. They came back to our house for some lunch. We can't eat. Hailey and Michael are sitting with Kimberly's parents. Finally, everyone leaves and they got the kids to bed. Kim walks into her daughter's old room and sat down on the bed. She immediately started crying. She felt her world crashing around her… She felt that there was nothing that could possibly help keep the walls up, until her husband comes into the room.

"Are you alright?" He asked her, sitting next to her on the bed.

"No…" She said, crying. "You aren't suppose to burry your child Tommy! You aren't! You are suppose to die before your kids! It shouldn't have happened this way." I say, punching the bed. "She was only seven! Seven years old and sick for two of those years… my god Tommy why us?"

"I don't know." He says, beginning to cry with his wife. "But she's in a better place now. Kimberly, she will never be sick again, and that is what we wanted."

"I miss her Tommy. My god I miss her so much."

So if you take her with you today, will you make sure she looks both ways,
And would you hold her hand when she crosses the streets of Heaven.

"It's never going to get any better is it?" She asks Tommy.

"No, it will… It has to."

"The pain is never going to go away."

"Not fully."

"Hailey isn't going to remember her."

"We'll make sure that she does…" Tommy says, wiping away her tears. "Let's go try and get some sleep."

"I can't sleep." She says standing up and heading out of her bedroom to the living room downstairs. She looks over the pictures that they took over the years of their daughter, and start crying again. Tommy followed her down and stood staring at the baby picture of their child. "She's in a better place…" Kimberly says, trying to help herself feel better.

"Yes, she is." He replies, gently kissing the side of her head.
