'Beep…Beep…Beep'
Black was all Rachel could see where ever she was she could hear voices but didn't know what they were saying. She couldn't feel anything except for peace she was content to just float in the empty void when she saw a beautiful white light. She started floating towards the light when she stopped wondering if this was the light people saw before they died. She didn't want to go into the light yet not when her life was going great. She noticed a figure in front of the light watching her with wide green eyes that looked very familiar to her. It was a little girl who looked to be about three or four years old with brown hair and wide green eyes.
"Who are you?" Rachel asked
"My name is Naomi." The little girl said making Rachel gasp
"But you were only a baby!" Rachel cried
"I have grown and I would have been two had I lived passed a month old." Naomi told her
"You are such a beautiful little girl." Rachel whispered
"Thank you." Naomi blushed
"I can't wait to tell your dad how you look!" Rachel said
"How is my daddy?" Naomi asked
"The same." Rachel answered
"Come on I have things to show you so you can know if going into the light is the right thing to do!" Naomi said
"I'm not going into the light Naomi." Rachel whispered
"You mean I'm gonna be alone longer than I thought I was?" Naomi asked sadly
"I'm so sorry baby." Rachel sobbed as she grabbed the small girl and held her close
"I want to be with you and Daddy!" Naomi wailed
"I know baby, I know." Rachel whispered as she stroked Naomi's brown hair that was the same shade as hers but her eyes were all her father's a hazel green unlike Punk's emerald green.
"Can you stay for a while before going back to Phillip and Daddy?" Naomi asked
"Sure I can sweetheart." Rachel said
"YAY!" Naomi squealed
"My dear sweet Naomi I am so sorry I should have checked on you that night instead I slept through and when I awoke I thought you had found a schedule for when you would sleep but when I went to check on you and you weren't breathing." Rachel sobbed while holding the girl closer to her chest
"Do you think Daddy remembers me?" Naomi asked
"Of course he does Baby Girl." Rachel assured the girl
"I miss you so much Mommy!" Naomi cried into her mother's chest
"I miss you too Baby!" Rachel sobbed
"Please tell Daddy that I love and miss him." Naomi said as she started to disappear.
"I will baby I will always love you." Rachel whispered
Rachel once again stood in the black void wanting to with her baby girl again
'Beep…Beep…Beep…Beep'
It had been three days since the accident and Rachel was still in a coma and it was now Friday which meant Smackdown was on tonight and no one wanted to leave Rachel alone. Punk sighed as he watched the small girl who held his heart in her hands. He knew there was only one person he and AJ would trust to look after Rachel but it was the same person who had broken Rachel's heart years ago. This persona and Rachel had a connection Punk would never have with Rachel and that connection was called Naomi a one month old baby who had died from SIDS leaving two destroyed and heartbroken parents. The couple had moved on Rachel seeking comfort from her cousin while the father moved on to other girls until he had gotten another girl pregnant and this baby lived and was still alive. Rachel had been heartbroken to find out he had moved on to the other girls and then he had become a dad again while she suffered from the pain missing the feeling of Naomi in her stomach or missing the feel of the baby in her arms the smell of baby powder around her. Rachel had been allowed to move back in with her fathers who had kicked her out but once they had her back in the house they ignored her. All this had happened when Rachel was only 14 going on 15 while the dad was 15 going on 16 after being held back a year in kindergarten. AJ walked into her cousin's hospital room before she left on her date wondering if anyone else was there. She smiled when she saw Punk the man who loved her little cousin and who her little cousin loved just as much.
"Have you decided who's going to stay with her while we do the show?" AJ asked the man
"We have to call him he's the only one we actually trust." Punk replied
"I hope she wakes up soon." AJ whispered sadly
"Me too." He responded
"Should I call him now or do you want to do it?" She asked
"You call him and then you can go on your date with the monster." Punk told her
"He's not a monster he is just misunderstood." AJ snapped
"Whatever just go and call you know who and tell him to hurry up." Punk said as he looked at the love of his life that lay so still on the bed.
"Okay Mr. Grumpy Gills." AJ said before skipping out the door and over to a phone
CM Punk brushed a piece of hair out of Rachel's face and kissed her forehead. He wished she would wake up so that he could tell her how he felt about her. He looked up when AJ came in walking over to her cousin and kissing her forehead and smiling at Punk then leaving. He stroked Rachel's hand with his thumb his eyes closed as he thought about all the moments he had spent with the girl.
"Hey Lil' Star remember when you came to Smackdown and got all mad at Kane for kissing your cousin in that one episode and then AJ came over and had to actually drag you away from Kane who looked so confused at this small girl yelling at him." Punk laughed
He sat there telling stories of all the moments he had shared with Rachel or had witnessed or was told about. He told her of how he and AJ had gone to see her sing at sectionals that first year she was in Glee club. He told her of the time he watched her at regionals singing her original song and how it had made him get tears in his eyes when he heard the door open and when he turned and looked he saw the man who had hurt his Lil' Star a young man named Noah Puckerman.
