The Grave

"What is taking them so long!"

Everyone looked over at Amy who stood up from her seat and walked over to look out the waiting room window. "We should have heard something by now!"

Topanga's heart broke as she watched her mother-in-law and she tried to ease it some. "They will probably inform Maya first-"

"Why in the world would they do that?" Amy whipped around to look at Topanga.

Topanga frowned, looking at her husband for a quick glance before answering, "Well, Maya is Josh's wife," she answered, unsure of her mother-in-law's reaction.

"I'm his mother. I should be the first to know and Maya is his soon to be ex-wife."

"What?" the entire waiting room gasped at Amy's words.

"What are you talking about?" Shawn asked. "Where did you hear that from? Maya hasn't mentioned anything about her and Josh getting a divorce."

"Because they're not," Lucas spoke up from his seat.

"Oh what do you know you haven't even been here," Amy glared at Lucas. "A mother knows these things."

"I've been here enough to know you are wrong and I know for a fact Maya and Josh aren't getting a divorce."

Shawn looks over at the younger man before looking at the woman who was like a mother to him who is now an in-law, "I think Lucas is right. I see Maya and Josh multiple times a week and I've never seen any tension between the two with anything the two have been more happy and in love if that's even possible. I know Maya has been sick and stress lately but Josh has been at her side."

Amy shook her head at Shawn's words, "Believe what you want but I'm telling you, I know in my heart my baby boy was coming down to tell me that he is getting a divorce. I could hear it in his voice what he had to tell me was important, and he didn't want to say it over the phone that's why he was on his way down to see me."

It was Lucas's turn to shake his head, "With Maya? I think if they were getting a divorce they wouldn't travel together to announce it. Maya definitely wouldn't make that trip with Josh to be there and I also know for a fact that's not why they were coming to visit you"

Amy shrugged as Shawn began to speak but stopped himself as everyone held their breath at the sight of the tear-stricken blonde with her mother and best friend at her side.

Maya could feel the tension in the room as everyone's eyes landed on her. She glanced around room as everyone quickly glanced away once they noticed her eyes on her before hers landed on Shawn who gave her a small reassuring smile.

"Did you hear anything?"

Maya looked over at her mother-in-law and swallowed as she felt Riley's hand start to rub her back comforting.

"The surgery went okay, and they've done their job now it's up to Josh," Riley answered for her best friend. "They are moving him to his room and then a few of us at a time can go and see him."

"But I'm going first," Maya spoke up, swallowing. "Alone," she told everyone as strong she could, shocking even the brunette next to her before going over and sitting in a chair on the opposite of everyone.

"Don't," Cory warned his mother before she could say or do anything. "You need to stop while you are ahead of yourself. The last thing you want is for Josh to wake up to a complete mess between you and Maya," he continued, making his mother quietly retake her seat.

XOXOXOX

Riley stood back, watching her best friend walk down the hall with the doctors towards her uncle's hospital room. A huge part of her wanting to break her best friend's request and chase after her.

"She is going to be okay."

Riley turned to face her husband.

"She's strong, and she is going to be strong for both her and Josh and their baby."

Riley nodded, remaining quiet. She wrapped her arms around her husband's waist, burying her head into his chest. "She is living out my worst fear."

Lucas pulled away, narrowing his eyes in confusion on his wife.

"I envision myself in my best friend's position so many times and seeing my best friend live my fear out..." Riley began but shook her head, closing her eyes to stop herself from crying. Now was not the time to cry. She needed to be strong. Her husband was perfectly fine standing right in front of her. She was going to go to bed tonight with his arms wrapped around her. "I always feared I would get the call and I would be sitting next to your hospital bed praying or even worst the knock on the door."

"Riles-"

"I want you to quit the army."

XOXOXOX

Maya kicked herself for telling everyone she wanted to be alone the first time she sees Josh. Now, she was wishing more than anything she had Riley at her side. She listened to the doctors as much as she could and thanked them when they stopped in front of Josh's room. She closed her eyes, preparing herself before she pushed the door open and felt the tears return when she opened her eyes at the sight of her pale husband hooked up to all kind of machines. She covered her mouth to fight back the sob before slowly making her way over to him as she tried to steady her breathing. She stopped in front him taking in every detail before she gently grabbed her husband's cut up hand, shocked by the cold touch. It was usually her cold small hands being warmed up by his large warm hands. She gripped his hand tighter while her other shaky hand went to carefully stroke his face, wondering how she was standing perfectly fine, and he was lying in the hospital bed fighting for his life. "Josh," she croaked, taking in a deep breath and letting it out slowly. "You need to wake up because I need you. Our baby needs you. I can't do this without you so please wake up," she demanded, softly.

She closed her eyes, as her tears rolled down her cheeks, and she placed a gentle kiss on his forehead. She pulled up a seat next to his hospital bed while her hand never let go of his. She remembered the doctor saying something to her about talking to Josh so that's what she was going to do.

"Me and the baby are perfectly fine, so we are just waiting for you," she told him, softly. "I got to hear it's little heartbeat again today. It was 144 which could mean our worst nightmare may be coming true and all the old wise wives' tales are still pointing to us having a girl but the good news is I am still craving potato chips which still means we have hope it's a boy but then again I wouldn't count on it because this girl is draining what little beauty I have out of me," she chuckled. It died down as she continued to stare at her still sleeping husband. She sat back and her tears returned when she realized Josh wasn't awake to rebuttal and tell her how beautiful she was. She swallowed as her eyes stayed on her husband, and she started to dwell on the fact she may never hear his voice again, "I got mad at our baby and took out my frustrating of not being awake on it," she told him as the thought of her turning out be like Kermit popped in to her mind. She shook her head, forcing all the bad thoughts away. She needed to stay in a positive place. She needed to focus on the good things and all of the good memories. "Do you remember our first date? We got up dressed up because it was Valentine's Day also better known as your birthday and you wanted make it special but when we got to the restaurant it didn't feel like us, so we got up and left and ended up in our fancy clothes in your dorm room eating taco while watching Marvel movies on your laptop," she laughed. "And I told you, I'm going to be your Valentine for the rest of your life," she murmured as a new set of tears started to fall down her cheeks. "I didn't mean..." Maya shook off that thought and refused to let her mind go back there no matter how much it wanted to. She was going to have to fight and remain strong for him. "I was thinking about our honeymoon when we went to that waterfall near Philly," she smiled as the memory flashed through her head.

Josh helped Maya down the rocks as the two made their way closer to look at the waterfall.

Maya took in the breath-taking beauty of nature around her, from the waterfall to the tall trees and rocks around the lake to the sounds surrounding her from the waterfall and birds chirping around them. She was amazed by the beauty and wondered how they could be the only two there but wasn't about to complain about it. She loved that small fact. The two were finally finding time to take a honeymoon and being alone with her husband in this place was a dream.

"This is beautiful," she couldn't stop herself from stating the obvious as the two came to a stop. She felt her husband's eyes on her as she kept looking forward. "And don't even think about making one of those cheesy lines agreeing while looking at me."

Josh smiled, chuckling. "But it's the truth. You are beautiful and I'm a lucky guy to be married to someone who is as beautiful as you are and takes my breath away in more ways than one."

Maya blushed, smiling, wrapping her arms around her husband's waist instead of coming up with a comeback and the two stood in silence, taking in the beauty around them. "I wish we could go swimming and make out underneath that waterfall."

"Why can't we?"

"We are in our clothes and we don't have-"

"So."

"So..." Maya began but stopped at the site of her husband taking his shirt off. She was the one who was usually more daring and needed to be pulled back in. "Are you serious?"

"Yeah," Josh smirked at her, throwing his shirt at her.

Her mouth dropped opened as she watched her husband strip down to his boxers.

"You coming?" he asked as he made his way in to the water.

Maya watched her husband, amazed before stripping down to her underwear and joining him in the water. The two getting to do what she wanted and more. She wrapped her legs around Josh's waist as her around wrapped around his neck after their long make out session under the waterfall.

"Do you remember what happened one year ago today?"

Josh frowned as he tried to remember what the exact date was.

"It's July 29th."

Maya answered reading his mind with a smile before Josh shook his head as it hit him what today was.

"Oh God," Josh laughed, remembering it had been exactly a year since the two sneaked off to Shawn's cabin and the two took their relationship up further.

"Yes, it's been a whole year since you deflowered me."

"I thought it was the beginning of my last days on Earth because Shawn was going to kill me when we got back."

"And yet, you are still here and not only are you still here but you are a married man."

"I am," he confirmed, taking her hand into his and kissing her wedding band. "Do you know what the best decisions I've ever made was?" he asked, before warming up her hands between his two.

Maya smiled, giving him a knowing look as she wrapped her arms back around his neck. "I don't know, what?" she pretended not to know his answer as her eyes shined of love into his.

"Going to NYU," he answered, wiping the smile off of Maya's face and causing her mouth to drop open.

"Jerk," Maya whacked his shoulder causing him to laugh.

"Here me out," he chuckled, grabbing her hand and wrapping her arm back around his neck as Maya furrowed her eyebrows at him. "Me deciding to go to NYU made this happen sooner than it would have if I didn't go to NYU," he motioned between the two.

Maya titled her head, staring into his eyes. "So you are saying even if you didn't go to NYU this still would have happened?" she asked, signaling between the two of them

Josh nodded, staring back lovingly into her eyes. "Someway. Somehow. The universe would have gotten us together. Our someday was going to happen even if I didn't go to NYU. I just know it because you are my destiny, my forever, and even when I go you will always be with me. What's happening between us and what we have can't die and I'll always love you. Nothing can change that. Nothing can change the way I feel about you not even when it's my time to go. We are the real deal, and we are meant to be together forever. I'm just happy I get to live and die knowing I get to love you and my life changed for the better the day I got to call you mine."

Maya smiled, staring lovingly into her husband's eyes. "I love you so much," she told him, pulling him in for a heated kiss.

"I love you the same," he murmured against her lips.

A small smile came to Maya's face as she remembered the trip. It may have not been a dream honeymoon and only been a short trip to the outskirts of Philadelphia but she didn't care as long as she was with Josh. "I loved that trip almost as much as I loved our trip to Paris and I know what you are thinking and I said almost. Do you remember when we were booking the Paris trip and all the back and forth we went because you wanted to get me a ring because you felt after three years of marriage I should have a diamond ring to go with my wedding band."

Maya walked over, smiling. She wrapped her arms around her husband from behind as he sat at their desk, staring at the computer.

"Are you sure?"

Maya laughed, pulling back to tilt to look her husband in his eyes. "Yes. Do you not want to?"

Josh turned in his chair. "It's not that I don't want to and I know this a dream trip but it's a lot of money and I think we could put it towards something else."

"A ring?" Maya said, knowing where Josh was going with this. He wanted Maya to have a diamond ring.

"Yes," Josh answered as matter-of-factly.

Maya smiled, feeling touch Josh felt so strongly in wanting to spend their money on her. She sat down on his lap wrapping her arms around his neck. "That is really sweet of you. I know how much you want to get me a ring but I'm okay with just my wedding band. I love my wedding band. I don't need a diamond ring. I can't take that with me when I go but I can take your love and all the memories we make like this trip to Paris unless you don't want to go then-"

"It's not that I don't want to go. It's just this trip is costing us a fortunate, but we've saved and worked hard for it and are being smart about it by going at one of the cheapest times of the year and we are only spending four days there-"

"And one of those days happened to be my birthday."

Josh sighed, staring in to the blue eyes he would do anything for. "I just want to make sure before we book it and can't go back you want this trip more than a ring."

Maya stared into her husband's eyes, "Josh, I just want you," she murmured. "I don't care if we go on the trip or if we get a ring. Yes, the trip is a dream come true and a ring would be nice but when it comes down to it, I just want your love."

Josh smiled, placing a gentle kiss on her lips before turning in his chair and moving the mouse to click book now causing a huge smile come to Maya's face. "No going back now."

They went on the trip and had the time of their lives. She will always remember spending her twenty-first birthday in Paris in front of the Eiffel Tower with her husband. She glanced down at the newly placed diamond ring on her left finger. Josh placing it on her finger just a short week ago.

"Josh is a fighter. He was born a fighter."

A voice came from behind her, knocking her out of her thoughts and memories. She turned to see her brother-in-law and the man who was like a father to her before Shawn came into her life.

"He came into the world fighting."

Maya slowly nodded as she watched Cory pull up a chair next to her before going back to stare at her husband. The two remained quiet, praying the man in lying in the hospital bed in front of them would wake up. "Your mother hates me, doesn't she?" Maya asked, breaking the silence. "I could feel the tension in the room when I walked in and I know I made her upset not allowing her to come back with me."

Cory forced a small smile, shaking his head. "No, she doesn't hate you and I know deep down she knows she would be the same way with Dad. She just wants to see her son."

Maya nodded again. "I just needed to see him myself."

It was Cory's turn to nod. "Everyone understands. You are his wife," he said, putting emphasis on the last word.

"Josh and I aren't getting a divorce if that's what you are trying to hint at. Josh and I have never once even thought about getting a divorce the five years we've been married."

The two's eyes went to Josh when Maya felt the slight movement from Josh. "Josh?"

They watched Josh slowly open his eyes focusing in on Maya. "Josh," she said again, running her hand across his cheek.

Maya felt her heart stop at the sound of the machine once making a beeping noise every time her husband's heart beat was now making loud flat line beep as his eyes closed. She started feel herself panic, "What's happening?" she breathed out as she watched in horror as the nurses and doctors rushed in around her. "Josh!" she cried out when she felt Cory wrap his arms around her and start to pull her out of the room. "Let me go! No! Josh!" she yelled as the doctors tried to revive her husband.

"Josh!"

Her screams echoing down the hospital's hallway.

I know you probably hate me but please leave me a review with your thoughts.
