Week 1

It had been a few days since Payton's doctors appointment and he has already started loosing hair, he's been taking some medication that make him so sleepy so we normally stay upstairs, everyone in the house has been super helpful, making sure Payton had everything he needed, I refused to leave his side, even when he fell asleep during the day I would just stay and nap with him, he was the most important person in my life, my one true love and best friend.

Week 2

It's not been good, Payton's been rushed into hospital 3 times this week, he's fallen over at least 5 and isn't eating much, it's so hard to just sit and watch this happen to him and the worse thing is there isn't a way I can help him

Week 3

He's weak, hardly getting out of the bed, only to go to the toilet but that's it, he's been repeatedly telling me he loves me, holding me close as he sleeps, my head on his chest, terrified for the last time his heart beats.

Week 4

I had to bath him yesterday, it was the most hardest thing I had ever done, he had no way of helping me, he doesn't fit in any of his clothes anymore, he's lost so much weight, I know people always say that he is quite small in weight but this- this is bad, he's just all bones

Week 5

We cried together today, he held me close as he told me all about the future we would have had, the opportunities we could of had.
His voice was hardly inaudible, he told me all about what he wants to happen when he's gone, how he wants me to move on and find someone else, but I knew it wouldn't be that easy.

Week 6

I woke up and stretched, Payton's breathing seemed to have slowed, not slowed but... stopped
Y/n: no no no no no baby come on, please Payton don't leave me, I need you
I cried as I cupped his face
Y/n: I can't loose you
I said quietly as my tears fell onto Payton.
Josh: Y/n what's-
He stopped talking, looking at his best friend, laying on the bed, motionless, not breathing.
Y/n: he's gone
I said quietly as I broke down
Josh ran over and took me from the bed, holding me close to him, hugging me tightly as I struggled to say anything, breathing was even hard, my mouth just hung open as nothing left it, not a sound
Josh: it's okay, shhh it's okay
He said as he cradled me, holding my head as he too cried
Charli: Y/n
She said as she walked in
Charli: no. Oh my- Y/n
She said as she covered her mouth with her hand

I had lost him.

My love.

My baby.

My best friend.

My Payton.
















































































A little while later

Y/n: ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH
I screamed, holding onto Charli's hand
Charli: come on Y/n that's it!
She said as she looked down to her now purple hand
Y/n: I can't! Can't do it!
I shouted as sweat poured down my face
Charli: yes you can, come on Y/n, you can do this!
She said back to me
Charli: do it for Payton, Y/n
As I heard his name, how proud he would be if he knew that I, Y/n/l/n his best friend to girlfriend was giving birth to his baby
Y/n: CHARLIIIIIII!
I screamed as I gave this push my all.
I heard a little cry and I let out a sigh of relief,
The doctor cleaned the baby and then brought him over to me
I let out a cry as I held him, I know this is going to sound crazy, he was only just born but he looked so much like Payton.

Charli let everyone into the room, telling them to be quiet as the baby cooed, creating such a big smile on my face.
Joanne: oh wow, he's just- he's gorgeous
She said as she came over to me, laying a kiss on my head
Y/n: just like his dad
I giggled as I looked up at Joanne, a smile on her face
Joanne: I brought one of Payton's old onesies from when he was a baby, you don't have to but I just thought-
I stopped her mid sentence
Y/n: it's perfect
I said quietly with a smile
Josh: he would be so proud of you
He said as he came over to look at the baby
Y/n: I wish he could know how proud I was of him
I said as I tear fell
Josh wiped it and told me something I'll never forget
Josh: don't worry, he knew
He smiled before going over to Charli, giving her a kiss
Bryce: okay wow is it just me or does this baby look a lot like Payton?
He asked as he stroked the baby's head with his thumb
Y/n: tell me about it
I giggled
Addison: have you got a name yet?
She asked
I nodded
Y/n: Teagan Payt Moormeier
I smiled and looked down at the now sleeping baby that lay on my chest

-----------------------
Payton: The Payton Moormeier
-----------------------

Y/n: The Payton Moormeier
I said as another tear fell
Dad: I think that's perfect
Someone said as they entered the room
Y/n: dad
I said as he came over and hugged me
Dad: mhm he's gonna be a heartbreaker
He laughed
Mom: just like his dad
She added as she too came over and hugged me
Y/n: don't know about you but I think I have a mini Payton on my hands
I laughed
Mom: you sure do
I looked over at Joanne, she was smiling but I could see that this was a hard time for her
Y/n: Joanne
I said and she looked over
Y/n: do you want to be the first to hold your grandson
I smiled
She gave me a warming smile in return
Joanne: little Moormeier
She said as she rocked the baby, placing a kiss on his forehead

And that's how me and Payton Moormeier went from sharing food to sharing beds

I didn't exactly explain which bed did I 😉

The end
