Please... I need you to hear me... *I gently take your cold hand, pressing the ring into your palm* Marry me... even now... *My voice breaks*

*Oppose to falling off of my hand, the ring stays in place as I slowly take it and slide it back around my finger, appearing behind you in a soft white dress.* I accept....

*I turn slowly, my breath catching* Baby...? *I reach for you with trembling hands*

*My legs give out as I crash to my knees beside the table* KAT! *I tear the blanket away, my hands shaking as I reach for her cold face* Please no... please...

*My complexion is as white as a plain piece of paper. My lips are a darker yet pale shade of blue. My body is still warm but soft and limp.*

Baby, open your eyes! *I shake you desperately*

*My breath hitches* Baby... is that you?

*The sound of patients and doctors talking in a near distance snaps you out of your thoughts momentarily and encourage you to think more positively as you block out any negative things that could possibly happen.*

*The butterfly's tiny legs tickle my neck as it crawls along my collar* You're still with me... *My hand trembles as I reach up to gently touch where it rests*

*I bury my face in my hands, my shoulders shaking with silent sobs* For her... *I whisper brokenly* I'll be brave for her...

*The medic feels his heart breaking as he quietly retreats back into the OR and assists me as well.*

*I curl up in the waiting room chair, hugging myself as I tremble*
