Don't Worry, It's Just The End Of The World

*Ashleigh Pov

I lied about feeling ok after Hunter, I mean how am I supposed to feel? I mean I am, I did. I felt a tear escape my eye, then another and another. Those silent tears turned to heart-wrenching sobs. "It's okay Ash. I've got you." I heard Vic behind me whisper. He was spooning me, trying to comfort me.

"This isn't just him, there's so much more, and I can't tell him because he's dead." I sobbed even hard.

"Okay okay, he knows you didn't mean what you said." Vic soothed. I sat up, breaking the embrace.

"No, there's something he didn't know, you don't know, and no ones does. I've known you for like a month now, there's a lot we don't know about each other." I yelled. I hopped out of the bed and ran outside. Goddammit Hunter. This is your fault. No it isn't it's mine too.

"Ashleigh?" I heard Hunter ask. I turned around and saw him leaning up against the bus.

"You! Stop appearing! I'm not crazy! Please stop this!" I screamed and sat down sobbing, with my head between my knees.


"I wish I could touch you but I can't. Why are you so distressed?" He sat down next to me.

"Hunter, I'm sorry I'm tethering you here, or something. You are going to be stuck here for a while." I sobbed.

"No no I like seeing you still, now what's up?" He asked.

"Remember when I said I didn't want kids, that we'd be bringing them into a hearse?" He slowly nodded. "I was angry, because I-i-i-I'm pregnant." I whispered. "I'm bringing this child into a death zone with things everywhere that can kill it and I don't have you here to help. I'm on my own." I sobbed even harder.

"You won't be on your own. You have Vic, who is coming outside in 3...2...1.." Hunter vanished. Vic sat down next to me and wrapped a blanket around both of us, and handed me a coffee. "So what's happening, Ashleigh, please let me in." He asked, pleading me to tell him. I sighed.

"I'm pregnant." I whispered, tears falling from my eyes. He wrapped me into a big hug.

"Hunter may not be here but I am, and I'll love the child no matter what." He kissed my forehead. "And I'll love you as long as my heart keeps beating, and even longer than that." He whispered up against my skin.
