ALTERNATE ENDING
Things were starting to fade and she couldn't feel his lips anymore or his arms around her and as she opened her eyes, wondering when she'd closed them in the first place she realised he was gone, nowhere to be seen, it was just her alone in his parents front room. And at first she thought that maybe the voice calling her name might be him, but as the person continued to call her name she realised that it wasn't him, and she was no longer in his parents front room.
Her eyes shot open, the sound of her name getting louder and louder, until she realised as she pulled herself up into a sitting position, gasping for breath and clutching the bed covers in a death grip, that it had just been a dream, it had all just been a horrible nightmare. It took her a minute or two to get her breathing under control and to be able to get her voice back. She heard her name again and looked over to see who'd been calling her name and found herself throwing her arms around him and pulling him toward her. Tears pooling in the corners of her eyes.
'' Katie what's wrong '' he questioned, pulling back a little to look at her and noticing the single tear rolling down her cheek and the rest pooling in the corner of her eyes. She tried to pull her face away but placed both hands on either side of her face, stopping her from turning her head. But he was gentle with her, not wanting to hurt her. '' Katie, talk to me. What's wrong. Your scaring me ''
'' Yo..your alive '' she whispered, much to Becker's confusion, her voice wavering slightly. She reached out and touched his face as if to reassure herself that he was really there, that this wasn't some dream and that she'd find herself back there at his grave. '' I..I had a dream that you died...and..it was horrible. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you ''
He moved his hands from her face and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into him and leaning against the headboard of their bed so he could hold her in his arms, letting her cry against his shoulder, pulling her a little bit closer or as close as they were going to get with her almost eight month pregnant baby bump.
'' I'm here, it's ok I'm not going anywhere '' he whispered over and over again, hoping to comfort her and letting her cry.
They sat like this for awhile until her tears stopped and she pulled away a little, moving into a more comfortable position. He fluffed up her pillows for her so she was more comfortable and she smiled him, kissing him on his cheek as she leaned against the pillows behind her and leaning into Becker. Reaching for his hand and intertwining their fingers.
'' I've thought of a name '' she told him, rubbing her hand over her bump and wincing a little as the baby gave quite a sharp kick. '' Do you want to hear it ''
'' Just as long as your not going to suggest Hilary as a first name. But yeah, go on ''
She smiled at him giving him an elbow to his side before answering him, '' What do you think of Samuel Hilary Becker ''
She watched as he thought about it and as the silence continued she wondered whether he hated the name, but when he smiled she let out a sigh of relief.
'' I like it '' he answered moments later, testing out the name. '' Samuel Becker, and I suppose I could live with Hilary as his middle name. What do you think, do you think you'll like being called Sam '' he asked the baby, leaning forward as he spoke to the bump. Causing Kaitlyn to laugh at him as she ran her fingers through his hair.
He straightened up and moved back into his original position, wrapping an arm around her back and taking her other hand into his.
'' Guess that's settled then. He likes it ''
'' Could be a girl you know, did you think of that '' she questioned.
'' Alright if it is a girl, then she can be Samantha Hilary Becker ''
'' I love you Kates '' he whispered into her ear moments later, pulling away to pull her into a heated kiss.
