Suite Life On Deck

Bailey Belle

I DO NOT OWN SLOD OR ANY CHARACTERS

Years passed by and it seemed like century's for Bailey without Cody. During all those years men fancied her, but she always refused them. There was only one heart that she had and she already gave it away. Even though that man was gone, he would always have her heart in his hold. She didn't feel like she needed any other man. She was already strong enough on her own. Her daughter did ask question her frequently about her father and Bailey responded. Everyday she told her daughter how much he would of loved her. She didn't hold back. Bailey knew if she could get one last moment with her father she would take it for anything. Bailey could not give her child that, but telling her about him was the least she could give her.

Bailey was now old and gray, but she didn't give up being determined to finish whatever she put her mind too. Bailey would often grow lonely at times, but then this sensation would come over her and she would feel as if Cody was right there with her. When she was sleeping in bed his warm arms were placed around her petite body. Feeling his breath on her neck. She was comforted by the sweet memories they shared together. At night she would tell her daughter bed time stories about her father when she was younger. Bailey could go on and on about talking about him. Just because he disappeared out of her life, didn't mean he didn't disappear out of her heart and head.

As for Zacharry he finally did find love with a girl named Maya Bennett who was from New York who moved there on business. Just because they were together, didn't mean he didn't think of Bailey every day wondering what happened to her. When he would kiss Maya the image of that young girl with blonde hair and big brown eyes would pop inside of his head. The thought that she let him escape tormented his mind. He did everything in his power to get her and then she left. Without warning. They could of had the most wonderful babies in the world together, but she threw it all away. She didn't even give him a try. Zacharry's mind would often search for an answer as to why she did that, but he would not find a proper explanation. He was everything a woman wanted.

Eventually Maya did discover how distant Zacharry was to her and how in his sleep he would say a name of an unfamiliar woman. Her first assumption was that he was cheating. When she asked he pretended that he did not recall a woman that went by that name. That it was something that was non-existent and she had no reason to worry. In the back of her mind she knew that something was terribly wrong. Idea's would race through the brunettes head trying to think of some conclusion in it all. She was worried and that would never come to a halt. Eventually years passed and Zacharry pretended to love her until she died. Now he was all alone.

Zacharry would get this cold feeling wherever he went and he would see this strange blurb following him watching every step her took. He would yell at it, but whatever it was showed no reaction. At night Zacharry would sleep and he would hear these horrible noises and would see these images in his dreams that would drive him nuts. There was pictures of Cody and he had this look of revenge in his eyes. In his dreams the places would be switched. Zacharry would be the one feeling pain unlike Cody. It would replay in his mind every night. He would wake up sweating and screaming in horror. When he awoke he would see a man that looked similar to Cody standing in front of his bed eyeing him. Whispering devilish things. Zacharry would scream at it to leave, but it would not obey his command. Zacharry knew he was being haunted by Cody's ghost. That was the only explanation for this phenomenon.

But that wasn't the case for Zacharry's terror. Cody moved on from his brother long ago. Cody did not care about his brother. If he got pain or happiness Cody did not have any concern. The only person Cody cared about was Bailey and his daughter. He would not be the demonic presence to them. He wouldn't dare disturb them. He was a friendly presence that would look out for them. He would watch his daughter protectively when she was young and when she got older and fell in love he was very worried. He didn't want her to get hurt. When she had her first heart break he was only watching behind the scenes, but Bailey handled the situation was care and knew she was the perfect mother. Cody wondered why after all those years Bailey did not move on from him. People would fall for her, but he would reject them. He wanted her to be happy, but apparently she was. She missed him, but she did not need another man that was not Cody.

Bailey would occasionally visit Cody's grave in Boston every ten years and she made sure she was not noticed by anyone. Her daughter and her would sit by the grave and Bailey would talk to Cody and put flowers down next to him. She would take in the air and she would remember every event that once occurred there. She would take her daughter down to the docks where Cody and Bailey spent there first times together. Bailey would explain how Cody was so nervous all the time around her, but so sweet at the same time. A tear would sometimes come to her face when she would think about the memories they shared, but she kept it in. She had to be strong.

Now, it was Bailey's turn to leave this world just like Cody once did. She had been sick for months and she could not feel better. She would always forget people's names and how she knew them. She would forget the simple things. She would get confused by everything. She would cough over and over occasionally spitting out blood. Nothing could take away the pain she was feeling. Bailey knew her time was up. As Bailey laid in her bed a necklace hung by her neck. It has been decades since the day she received it from Cody. She would never forget to wear it though. Nothing could prevent her from wearing it. She would open it everyday and read it. Taking in it's beauty, but now, it would barely open. It was jammed, but she still held onto it tightly.

Christy sat on Bailey's side watching over praying to god that her dear mother would not escape yet. She had lost so many things in her life, her mother leaving would destroy her. Bailey knew her time was up and she knew Christy knew also. She knew Christy was upset, but Bailey came to terms that every person has their end and she had to accept it. Bailey wasn't fearful of dying. She knew it was a part of life and everyone went through it. Why fear something you can't control? It's always going to win against you. Bailey looked into her daughters eyes and smiled.

"Christy, you know that I love you right?" Bailey choked out and Christy leaned closer to her mother listening to every word that needed to be said.

"Of course I do. And so did Dad." Bailey smiled even wider. Her understanding that meant the word to Bailey. She knew Cody would of treated Christy as his little princess. She would have been spoiled rotten by him.

"Just because people are gone, doesn't mean that they wont be with you. They will always be in your heart, Christy." Bailey said taking her daughters hands in hers. Christy started tearing up at hearing those words her mother were saying that and shook her head.

"You are not dying, I am not allowing you to go." Christy said seriously. Christy was grown up, but that didn't mean she did not need her mother. Christy was the spitting image of Bailey when she was younger. She made heads turn and she knew that she was going to find someone who would be her Cody. Sometimes, it's okay yo let go.

"Christy...I love you, but when you love something you have to let it go." Bailey said looking at her daughter. Christy didn't want to admit that she had to let go. She would keep hanging on.

"No..." Christy said repeatedly. Hearing her mother saying those words tore her heart. "If you leave I will have no one. Mom, please, don't." She begged and Bailey was now producing few tears.

"I want you to have something." Bailey said and she led her small delicate hands up to her neck and unclasped the locket that hung. She held it carefully in her hands for one last time and then handed it into her daughters. "I love you, Christy. I always will." Bailey stated and right then her eyes started to close and her heart rate lowered. Christy held her mothers hands tightly as horror crossed her face. Now all that lied there was a lifeless body.

"Mom, please wake up." Christy said choking out through a sob. Shaking her mother's body back and forth, but there was no reaction. She could not be awakened by anything. Watching a life die before your eyes could never be erased from your memory. As much as you would attempt to discontinue it, it was useless. You will always remember the one you lost.

There was this white light surrounding Bailey as she looked around. She did not recognize where she was. She looked at her skin and it was younger. She took her hair and it was full of life. She did not understand. She thought she was dying. She was stunned by what was happening. She then saw someone in the distance. The puzzle pieces then fit together. The man turned and there was that familiar face. The one who completed her. He waved to her and smiled.

"Cody."

The End.
