Present Day
John POV
Ellie screams as we run to her. She has been in so much pain the last few days. Maybe Joshua was right, and I should have convinced her to stay in the hospital longer. I know she did not want to die there. She wanted to come home and be with her dogs and us when she dies.
I take her hand and hold the rough hand that once was so soft. "Ellie, I am here for you," I say softly. She opens her eyes. "I saw her, I saw our baby girl," Ellie says, crying. I begin to cry. I look at my mother and sister, who are sobbing.
There is a knocking on the door. "Whoever it is, get rid of them," I say to my mother. "No, please do not leave me," Ellie says, grabbing my mothers' hand. The knocking continues as we sit with Ellie. Ellie closes her eyes for a moment.
