I'll Be Your Cure - A Kashley One-shot Part 3

Here's the last part, both joyful and heartwrenching it is, my friends.

Part 3

I sat there in one of the stiff-backed chairs in the waiting room, bent over in grief, my head buried into my hands. I had no desire to look around me at the surroundings, for I knew that I would only see the white-washed walls, and wailing little children. I could already hear enough pain; I didn't need to view anymore. Terror shot through me as the clock on the far wall sang thrice times, signaling the beginning of the third hour I'd been waiting for the surgery to finish. With each tick of the clock, with each passing second, I was more sure that they wouldn't be able to save him.
"Miss Tisdale," the firm voice rang out in the midst of the haze of pain, and I lifted my head, forcing my blurred gaze to focus on the doctor in front of me. "Yes?" I asked, my voice pleading with him to give me the news I wanted to hear.
His expression grew somber, and he clutched his clipboard tighter, "I'm afraid that we were too late to save Mr. Jonas' life."
Pain, emptiness, despair. A scream of agony built up in my chest, but I wouldn't let it go. I clamped my mouth shut tightly as everything around me faded to black. This couldn't be happening, this couldn't be real. This was just a nightmare that I would surely awake to the next morning. The tears began streaming down my cheeks as the doctor murmered, "Would you like a moment with him?"
I nodded, letting the numbness steal over me as the doctor led me into a small room, with a single bed taking up most of the space. And there, cold in death, on the bed, was Kevin. His eyes were closed, shielding the now lifeless brown eyes. I fell onto the bed beside him as the doctor closed the door quietly behind him, and the sobs erupted from within me, racking my entire body with quivers. I threw my arms around Kevin's neck, and sobbed into his chest for a long moment, before raising my head to look at him for the last time, whispering, "God, please bring him back to me. P-please." My head thudded down onto his chest in defeat, and I closed my eyes, wishing that I could die with him, not seeing any reason to live once he was gone.
For the briefest moment I swore that I could hear the beating of his heart, the sound that tied him to life, and I sighed as I realized that I was just hallucinating. My Kevin was gone, dead, and I would never be able to see him again. A single tear rolled down my cheek and hit his cheek, making a quiet splash as it connected with the pale skin. "Goodbye, Kevin." I whispered so quietly that not even an ant could hear me.
"W-what do you mean goodbye?" A weak voice asked, and I gasped as my eyes flew open to connect with the familiar warm pair of brown eyes that belonged to the love of my life.
"But...but you..." I was speechless, unable to explain what had just taken place right in front of my eyes, "You d-died!"
"Yes," he nodded slightly, wincing as he did so, "But you brought me back to life. Your prayer to God, your simple desire to love me with all your heart, brought me back. You saved me, Ash."
The tears were completely blinding my vision as I leaned down, doing the only think I knew how to do. I pressed my lips against his and kissed him softly.
He pulled away a moment later, his eyes shining with joy, and I whispered, "Please don't leave me again. I love you, Kevin."
He pressed his lips against my forehead, and mumbled against my skin, "I could never leave you, Ashley."
This was the best moment of my life.

"And that is how my husband came back to life," I explained to the class of third graders.
"Aw, that's so sweet," one little girl exclaimed and the rest of the class piped up in encouragement.
"Thank you Abby," I smiled gently as the girl and then motioned for them to get up, "Now go out and play. Recess time." My smile widened as they all scampered off, and then suddenly familiar warm arms snaked around my waist. I turned to see Kevin, everlasting love written in his brown eyes, and a small smile on his face as he kissed me gently, "Telling them our story?"
"Of course," I murmered, taking his hand in mine, "Let's go home."
He smiled back at me as our eyes connected, "Forever."
"Forever and Always," I whispered softly as we walked off the elementary campus.
