Maybe I'm Amazed

Alex nodded, happiness fading. The beeping of machines got louder as he walked towards Mike's room. His heart sped up until it felt like it would burst out of his chest.
"Mikey?" He called.

Mike's skin was cool to the touch, his face still red and tear tracks were visible. Mike's body was limp, the only sigh he was alive was the beeping of the monitors and the weak rise and fall of his chest.

The tears began falling again as he fell to his knees. He didn't have the strength to stand back up.

The thump of Alex's knees hitting the floor echoed. Mike heard nothing, felt nothing. Mike was in a state of nothingness.

"No, don't leave me baby. You can't go. Stay with me honey." Alex pleaded, clinging onto Mike's hand.

Mike's pulse was slowing, his hand was cold. But Mike could faintly hear his fiance's voice.

"I can't raise two children by myself Mikey. I love you. If you can hear me just know that I love you, alright?" Alex cried.

Mike hand twitched, he wanted to touch Alex weather he knew it or not.

"You're still in there. At least a little. Please, try to stick in there baby."

Mike's eyes slowly opened, his gaze fell on Alex.

Alex smiled through the tears, he could tell Mike wasn't completely better but it was something.
"Hi baby."

"Hi" Mike rasped weakly. unable to do anything more.

Alex grinned widely at his voice.
"Baby don't talk, save your energy."

Mike quietly wondered where the babies were, and if they were okay. Mike also was in pain, his stomach hurt from where they cut him open.

"You're gonna be okay, Mikey. I'm talking too much. Nod once if you want me to keep talking. Nod twice if you want me to shut up."

Mike nodded once, looking at Alex expectantly. He needed to know about his babies.

"Good, i don't think too much when I'm talking. Gosh, Mike, the babies... they're gorgeous. It's amazing to think that we made those together. They're like little angels. And, Sydney, she has the most beautiful laugh I've ever heard." Alex smiled, thinking of the children he'd only spent a brief moment with but already loved more than the entire world..

"Go....Babies.....Fine." Mike wanted to tell him to go spend time with the babies, he was fine, even though he wasn't.

Alex got a vague idea of what he was saying.
"No way in hell am I leaving you alone right now, Michael Mizanin."

Mike sighed, he didn't want Alex to leave him. Mike moved his hand so it hung off the side of the bed, he wanted Alex to hold him t he was in too much pain so hand holding had to be enough.

Alex took his hand without hesitation. He placed a soft kiss on the back of it and squeezed it gently, letting Mike know he was there.

"You...Okay?" Mike rasped.

"I'm fine. And for the last time, stop wasting energy baby. You need all you can get." Alex cooed, gentle but firm.

"Make......me." Mike said slowly, having trouble breathing.

Alex chuckled. Even on what was possibly his last day, he was as stubborn as always. He leaned up and kissed Mike's cheek.
"Please."
