7- You're So Priceless

| Caleb |

I watched from the kitchen, Avery was singing softly to our unborn baby. Singing a song from her favorite band, which I swore she was obsessed with. I could basically say that my wife was a fangirl.

"You sound amazing, baby." I stated.

She looked up at me and smiled, "Thank you."

She got up and made her way into the kitchen. She laid her head on my shoulder as her hands laid on my torso. "I love you," I whispered.

"I love you too, Caleb."

The four of us sat in a circle. Joey with his keyboard, and Alan with his guitar. The camera in front of us. Our first project being filmed by ourselves.

"This song is dedicated to Caleb's wife, Avery. She's currently in a coma due to an accident involving a drunk driver. All money made from this cover is going towards their family." Alan spoke before strumming his guitar. "Priceless by for King & Country."

"Mirror mirror, mirror on the wall. Tellin' those lies, pointing out your flaws. That isn't who you are, That isn't who you are." Joey sang softly.

Then Chad started, "It might be hard to hear, but let me tell you dear. If you could see what I can see, I know you would believe. That isn't who you are. There's more to who you are."

Then Alan sang, "So when it's late, you're wide awake, Too much to take. Don't you dare forget that in the pain. You can be brave, hear me say."



Juliet was sleeping on the couch again as I sat with Avery. I sighed and laid her hand against my cheek.

Throughout the month, she improved but her appearance only grew more sickly. Her skin continued to pale, her dark hair was greasy, her skin constantly cold and her joints stiff.

Tears had fallen onto my cheeks, but at this point in time, I couldn't care. "Baby, I miss you. We, uh, covered your favorite song today. I can't wait for you to see it. We did it all for you. We, uh, put our home videos in it. From our wedding, and every little moment that was filmed. Because you're priceless, baby. You're priceless, baby. You're my favorite person. You're my favorite face that I like to see first thing in the morning. You're my favorite love. When I married you, everything made sense. When I first kissed in sixth grade, behind the slide of the playground, I grew the biggest crush on you. Then after you moved, I vowed to find again and kiss you and tell you that I loved you. And I never gave up, baby." I spoke, "I didn't give up then, and I won't give up now. Every night, our memories run through my head. Everything we did together. I remember everything, baby. From the feeling your touch gives me, to the little sparks every time we kissed, the warmth from your hugs, our arguments, our make ups. I miss it all, baby."



Juliet sat next to me, cuddled into my side as we watched all the home movies we had. From mine and Avery's wedding, to moments of Juliet's earlier childhood.

She smiled and giggled at little things, or everytime Avery and I had kissed.

"Daddy, do you love momma?" She asked, "Like a lot?"

I smiled, "I love your mom more than anyone could know. I love you and mommy so very much, Juliet."

She gave me a sweet little grin and looked back to the tv. She sighed, "I miss momma."

"I miss her too, babygirl. She'll come home soon. I promise." I smiled weakly.

"I love you, daddy." She mumbled.

"I love you too, babygirl." I whispered, kissing her forehead.



I had been woken up once again. Juliet climbed into my bed, crying and whimpering. She got under the covers and laid next to me.

I pulled her into my chest as she cried. I tried to soothe her, but it was hard. This whole situation was hard.

As a father, it killed me to see my little girl like this. When she's crying over her mother who wasn't here at the moment. Juliet was the only reason why I was trying to be strong. Why I had barely cried.

"It's okay, Juliet." I whispered.

"I miss momma." She whined.

"I know baby. I miss her too." I mumbled.

Juliet had finally quieted down, with the occasional whimper or whine. I just kept her close to me in hopes to get her to sleep.

If she was like this now without her mother, I was kind of scared for when Avery came back home. Juliet would be all over her, and wouldn't leave Avery's side. But I admired that about Avery, she loved kids and being around kids. She could've been a teacher and would be great. Kids never really bothered her, and she's always wanted a big family.

Now, I just wanted to give her the family she's always wanted. I would give everything to have my wife here, with me and my daughter.
