Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven? Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
AJ's Goodbye: "Hey Lil Bit" AJ said sitting down in the chair beside Ash's bed. "I'm sorry I haven't been to see you much, I've been busy I'm the WWE champ now that John is on leave takin' care of the kids".
"I don't know how to let you go, I don't want to" he said. "I've known you since you were a kid and you grew up to be one of my best friends, if you die then God is taking one of the very few angels walking on earth"
"I want you to know how much you mean to me, I love you Lil Bit you were like the little sister I never had and I will carry your memory with me for the rest of my life"
He took Ashley's hand and kissed it before leaving the room. He sat back down in the waiting room where everyone who was ever touched by Ashley sat. he rested his head back against the back of the chair and let the tears fall like so many others who were doing the same thing.
Chris's Goodbye: It was hard for Chris to walk into the hospital room and see his only daughter hooked up to machines and monitors, it reminded him of when she was born. The tears were already in his eyes, he could barely speak his baby was dying and he couldn't stop it. He felt helpless and frustrated. Chris had dreaded this moment he had hoped that Ashley would wake up.
"Hey Princess" he said his voice hoarse and raspy from crying "I really didn't want to have to do this, I wanted you to wake up, I lost you for 16 years now I'm loosing you forever"
"I don't think one person who knew you didn't have their lives changed by you, I remember a few months ago you told me I wasn't in that car because you needed me but I think it was me who needed you I still do, call me selfish but I don't want you to leave me"
Chris put his head down and cried the tears he had held inside for so long. He wanted to find the guy who did this to his daughter and beat him within an inch of his life. But he doubted the guy would ever be seen again. It didn't seem fair to Chris that this Mike guy had the nerve to brake into his daughter's house and take her from her family and friends. He wanted to kill this man and he knew he could get away with it.
"I love you baby girl and I know one day I'll see you in heaven"
Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven? Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven?
"Owen will always know about his older sister who picked out his name and who would have loved him to death, I wish you could see him he is so beautiful just like his sister"
Lilian had been watching Chris at the door. She felt he needed time to say good bye to Ashley in private. She walked over to him and hugged him as tightly as she could. Chris was beyond grief now, he couldn't control himself anymore. Lilian helped him walk away from the room. Everyone watched as Lilian helped Chris back to his seat he was sobbing quietly now. Their hearts went out to Chris, he along with John had it the hardest because Chris was her father and John was her husband.
Matt and Jeff's Goodbye: Both Hardy brothers had hated hospitals since their beloved mother had passed away some years earlier, they were pretty sure Ashley hated them for the same reason or it could have been that bad tonsil removal but that is another story. The atmosphere of a hospital to them was stifling, the whiteness was blinding and the smell of cleaners made their throats burn. They hated to see Ashley like this, like Chris they remembered how little Ashley was at birth. Matt had been to the hospital twice a week since Ashley was brought in. Jeff had only been once before, he preferred to remember Ashley the way she was not all hooked up to this and that.
"Hey Shorty" Jeff said quietly.
Never again would he call her that. He resented Mike for making her like this and he resented John for making the decision that her life should end. Of course he understood why John was doing what he was but then again this was his little cousin, the one he protected all her life. Jeff had always made it his job to protect Ashley as much as he could. If he had known what his aunt and uncle had done to her sooner he would have made them pay. Jeff stood while Matt sat in the chair. She was so still it freaked Jeff out because even when she was sleeping she was never that still, he couldn't even think of anything else to say, he knew she'd understand what was in his heart and how much he would miss her.
"We're gonna miss you Shorty, there ain't anyone in this world who don't love you" Matt said "Don't worry about anything because God don't need an angel with worry lines, we'll take care of John and the kids"
"Nice attempt at comic relief bro" Jeff commented sarcastically.
"Never you mind" Matt replied.
Both gave Ashley a kiss and let the next person go in.
Marc's Goodbye: Marc could never understand why bad things happen to good people. Ashley was a saint to everyone who knew her. His cousin was a very lucky man. Marc sat in the chair that everyone else had sat in.
"I'm not sure if you can hear me but if you can…" Marc trailed off.
"I really don't know what to say, you are family, how do you tell your family that it is alright for them to die? I'd be lying if I told you it was. We need you more than you know"
"I know it's asking a lot but you need to fight through the darkness and come back to us, I know you can because you are strong, you are stronger than any person I have ever met"
"Now seriously I was so close to letting you make me watch those stupid musicals that you love to watch like The Phantom of the Opera and Moulin Rouge, but now who is going to make me watch them, my misery should be incentive enough for you to wake up." Marc said with a small laugh.
"I'm gonna tell you something that you probably didn't know. The first time John met you after you left he had me on the phone for 2 hours just talking about how much he liked you and how he wanted to ask you out"
"If it wasn't for you I would have never met Laney, I'm going to ask her to marry me soon"
Marc was hoping that would be enough to get Ash to wake up but even that didn't work.
"If I ever have a daughter I'm gonna name her Lea so I'll always have a reminder of you because the world is loosing a treasure" Marc said.
I'll find my way through night and day, 'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven.
Ashley had 1 day left till the life support was going to be shut off. Marc left and it was Amy's turn.
Amy's Goodbye: Amy was shaken after seeing Chris's breakdown. She was afraid that would be her next. She sat down and took Ashley's hand in hers. It helped Amy believe that Ashley could hear her if she held her hand.
"It was always the four of us for so long, you me Matt and Jeff but now so much has changed and it's hard to believe that I am never going to see you again" Amy cried.
:I really don't know what else to say after the whole Matt thing you were the only one who would talk to me, I never told you how much that meant to me but it did mean so much" she continued. "I was an only child for 21 years but now I have you as my little sister, I don't want to loose you. They say you are in pain but that has never stopped you before remember the time you miscalculated the jump on Jeff's dirt bike and you crashed head first into a tree and ended up with 3 broken ribs, a cracked collar bone, and a broken arm, that had to be painful but you lived and you were riding as soon as you got the cast off you arm"
"Please just com back to us" Amy pleaded.
Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven? Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
It didn't seem fair to anyone that Ashley's life was basically over each had their own opinions on what they would have done if they we're John but they all agreed that Ashley would be missed.
The last two before John and the kids were Randy and Trish. Trish was literally beside herself with grief. She had been this way since she found out that John was taking her off life support. Randy was trying his best to comfort his wife but he felt as broken inside as Trish did. Randy and Ashley were very close some would say too close. She was the first person to know about his cancer and she had done everything in her power to save him but now Randy couldn't return the favor.
Trish couldn't say anything to Ashley so she just stood there shaking.
"I love you Brat and I always will" Randy whispered before kissing her.
Randy wrapped a comforting arm around Trish's shoulders and led her out of the room. John held Gracie and Talon's hand as they walked into the hospital room. The breath got caught in Gracie's throat. John had told her how bad Ashley was but nothing could prepare her for what she saw. Her grip tightened on John's hand.
"It's ok Gracie if you want to leave you can" John said.
"No I want to say good bye to mommy properly" she said.
"Ok" John said.
John sat Talon up on the bed. He looked at Ashley for a moment before going over and giving her a hug and a kiss.
"Bye bye Mama" he simply said.
"I'm going to take him back are you going to be ok?" John asked.
Gracie nodded.
"I drew you like 20 million pictures" she said "dad and I talked we both want you to go to Heaven to be with God"
"But I don't want you to leave me" she said.
The tears were starting to fall. She hugged her mother tightly for fear that someone would try and take her away.
"Please don't leave me" she begged "I don't want you to go"
"I need you" she continued to cry. "I love you I promise I'll be good and I won't talk back and I'll even eat broccoli, please just don't die".
"Gracie sweetie" John said.
"No I don't want to go" she said.
"Please honey there is very little time left" John pleaded.
"I DON'T WANT HER TO DIE" Gracie yelled.
John picked Gracie up and began to carry her from the room. She began to wail loudly and punch him in the chest to get him to put her down.
"I want my mommy" she yelled.
Chris took her from John and tried to comfort her.
"I don't want her to die' she cried.
"I know baby I don't want her to die either" Chris said as he rocked her back and forth in the seat where he was sitting.
"Who would have thought it would all end here?" John asked Ashley.
"Baby I'm going to miss you so much it hurt to even think about but I'm trying to do what I think is right" he said words were becoming hard.
"Please forgive me" he cried.
"It's hard to fight the things we're afraid of. Sometimes we need a little help. Well I'm afraid of living my life without you so please wake up"
He buried his head in his hands and cried.
"Mr. Cena are you ready?" The doctor asked.
I must be strong and carry on, 'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven.
"Yeah" John replied.
They began to unhook the machines keeping Ashley alive. John watched her heart monitor get slower and slower. They took all the machines and tubes away and the monitor stopped for a mere second. For one second Ashley was gone but then as if John's prayer was answered it started back up again. The beeps were getting stronger and more frequent. Then John heard Ashley start to cough. Right then and there that was the most beautiful sound in the world.
He ran to the door and yelled for a doctor. The doctor came running back in.
"Oh my god she's alive" the doctor said.
"She's choking I think she needs oxygen" John said.
A nurse hooked Ashley up to a breathing mask to help with the air.
"John where am I?" Ashley finally asked after about 20 minutes.
"Baby we thought we were going to loose you" John said.
"Mrs. Cena what is the last thing you remember?" the doctor asked.
"Telling my kids a story" she replied.
"You don't remember being kidnapped or the car accident?" the doctor asked.
"Kidnapped, car accident?" Ashley asked confused. "oh my god the baby?"
"Both girls are fine" John said.
"Twins I remember her saying twin girls" Ashley said. "where's Chris?"
"He's outside" John said he was just a little scared.
"I need to talk to him" she stated.
John walked out of the room and called Chris inside.
"Thank god" Chris said walking in.
"I saw her" Ashley said.
"Saw who?" Chris asked.
"My mother and she was so beautiful and I hugged her" Ashley said.
"Sweetie slow down" Chris said "now what happened?"
"I was dreaming about Ever After and then I opened my eyes and it was all white and my mother was there, she told me my family needed me" Ashley said.
"And she told me to tell you that she was happy that you found someone to love and not to regret because she is at peace now" Ashley said. "She called you Mickey Blue Eyes"
"How could you know that?" Chris asked.
"She told me" Ashley said.
"You know what that doesn't surprise me too much" Chris said.
"What about Owen is he here what does he look like?" Ashley asked.
"Yeah he's a month old now, Ash I wish I had some pictures we'll bring him and Isabella and Avery in maybe tomorrow" Chris said.
"Maybe you should wait a few days too much excitement could seriously hurt me" she said.
"Ok" Chris said. "I love you so much and never scare me like that again"
"I promise I won't" Ashley said.
John came back into the room.
"Dude I need to brush my teeth" Ashley said.
"Ash about that" John said.
Ashley threw the blanket off of herself.
"John I can't move my legs" she said in a scared tone.
A/N: Cliffhanger I know I am so bad. If you want check out my new story Somewhere Only We Know. And just to clarify I have nothing against TNA I actually really like it the reason Dwayne has a problem is because he and his father and grandfather all worked for the WWE so you can see a member of the family working for the rival it could cause problems.
