To Live Eternally
Chapter 9
Erin’s P.O.V
I sat in my old house with Ellie who has dropped the bomb that it would be wise to send Colby away while I am dealing with Papa Gates. Colby was with his father right now who is doing way better now that he has seen him.
“I just don’t get why I need to send him away” I asked and she sighed.
“Do you really want your son’s life to be on the line at all? HE IS YOUR SON! You think about only him first and tell me Erin that god damnit he should be raised the same way you were… in Heaven… where you couldn’t be hurt” She said sending a jolt of realization through my body.
“But Heaven… It always speeds up their growth… who knows… when I see him again he could be in his teenage years” I said trying to argue every side of the situation.
“It may speed it up but we won’t let him grow up too much or too fast… Erin he needs this. He may be at least 7 but that is the furthest he will age” Ellie said.. This wasn’t going to make it easier on me to do it… even though deep in my heart I may honestly have to let him go. Zack walked in holding Colby and I smiled and he sat down and fed Colby… I loved looking at the two of them together.
“Zack I was just about to call you… I have something to say” I said and he looked over and was confused at the serious tone. Colby started crying and Zack came over and put him in my arms and I bounced him a little while his small head rested on my shoulder and he quieted down.
“What is it babe?” He asked putting the cloth on my shoulder by Colby’s mouth and then sat back down.
“I think that Colby needs to go and be with my sister until the whole Papa Gates issue is over” I said and he looked really upset and I knew that there was something that wasn’t being told.
“You need to spill it babe; I won’t get angry so just tell me” I said and he sighed and Ellie and I both knew that something big was going to happen.
“I was stopped by Papa Gates earlier… he told me first off that what happened while you gave birth… was his true vision a while back before you gave your life away…. Then he told me that if we were to send Colby to Heaven… that I would never see you again” He said and I just sat there with Colby…
“If the price is me Zack… then I am gonna let Colby go and live with my sister… this needs to end and I am going to end it and I am gonna live a happy life with OUR son” I said snapping a little but then calming down as Colby got fussy.
“Here sweetie let me take Colby into the other room and Christina and I can watch him while you two talk. And if you are going to yell please take it outside” Ellie said and grabbed Colby and I smiled as she walked away. I sat there staring at Zack unable to find the right words to say at this point… he was still favoring me even though Colby is in our life. I went over and sat down next to Zack.
“I don’t know what happened to you over the five months that I was gone Zack but you are favoring me still over our son…. His life is more important than anything right now and I am more than willing to figure out a way to keep him safe at all costs. So you need to get your fucking act together and think like the fucking father I really want you to be” I said and he backed up when he heard how pissed off I was. I don’t have any clue what the hell happened in the five months that I was gone.
“I think that we should talk this through… I am trying to adjust to this Erin… I AM TRYING!” He yelled and then pulled him up fiercely and drug him outside and slapped his cheek.
“You will never again shout at me with Colby in the next room” I spat at him. He seemed to be getting pissed off as well.
“This is you we are talking about Erin! You can’t just think of Colby and nothing else! He needs his fucking mother! And have you thought about the growth process up there! For fuck sakes Erin I need you to be here! You make me complete!” He shouted and it seemed that he was feeling really intense about this. I stared down at the ground scared to look him in the eyes, he put his hand on my shoulder and I felt a huge wave of emotions come over me… his emotions… we both backed up gasping for air. I sat there with my back on the side of the house and I just didn’t know what to do….
Izzy’s P.O.V
I walked downstairs and saw Christina and Ellie playing with Colby and when I turned on my
extra sensitive hearing I could hear Erin and Zack yelling at each other… sometimes you just gotta work things out…
But right now… I have my own news to tell… to Jimmy.
“Hey guys have you seen Jimmy anywhere?” I asked and Ellie looked at me and she just smiled.
“Oh babe… you are joining the family world… you realize that you can tell right?” She said to me and I was just staring at the fact that I had been wearing hoodies that were a little too big for the past couple weeks… Not that anyone else noticed… even Jimmy because we haven’t really had time to do anything.
“It’s just happening so fast; I found out last week and now it looks like it’s been 5 months just like Erin” I said and I took my hoodie off and revealed the huge baby bump.
“Oh Izzy sweetie… you make my line of work worthwhile! You have to tell Jimmy… maybe soon… you are God’s wife… you could have that baby in at least two months and that is maybe pushing it” Ellie said taking me off guard… I have been hiding it from Jimmy and everyone… I was afraid of having my own child even though Jimmy would be the best dad ever.
“You and Val are gonna pop at the same time… I can feel it!” I heard Christina say.
“I don’t know how to tell him” I said and they both laughed.
“You do it the same way you just did with us… you just take off the hoodie and be like surprise!! BABY TIME!” Christina yelled and we all just started busting out laughing and we all stopped when we heard Colby laughing loudly as well.
“We have brought joy to the little one! OUR PLAN IS COMPLETE!” Ellie said making us laugh again.
“This little boy needs to be put down for a nap; I shall do it now” Christina said. She was very fun loving and reminded me a lot of Zack when he was happy and playful. Now I need to make my way to telling Jimmy. I was gonna walk right out the door but Ellie stopped me.
“Do you at least want to know what it is?” She asked and I stopped dead in my tracks and nodded.
“In a month and a half most likely… you can say hello to your beautiful… little girl” She said and I lit up like a star in the sky and proceeded out to find Jimmy….
A little baby girl…
I sat in my old house with Ellie who has dropped the bomb that it would be wise to send Colby away while I am dealing with Papa Gates. Colby was with his father right now who is doing way better now that he has seen him.

“But Heaven… It always speeds up their growth… who knows… when I see him again he could be in his teenage years” I said trying to argue every side of the situation.
“It may speed it up but we won’t let him grow up too much or too fast… Erin he needs this. He may be at least 7 but that is the furthest he will age” Ellie said..
