Years after his death in a crash, He is given a chance to visit his love one more time...

3 Years Later Somewhere in the U.S....

In the morning, Rayne wakes up at 7 a.m. to baby Chrystian crying and screaming. Rayne picks him up calmly and feels him shivering.
"Okay now papa, mommy's here, mommy's here," she tells Chrystian.
"What happened papa? Are you okay now?" she asks.
Chrystian raises his head crying.
"I dweam mommy," he says.
"Ohh, that's so cute. My poor baby had a dream. Ok baby, it was just a bad dream. Wow, you're boiling baby. Let's take baby's temperature okay, papa."
Rayne speaks to Chrystian as she wonders through the house, a little tired, looking for a thermometer.
"Why did I pick a big house," she nervously asks herself.
She finally finds it in her bedroom and lays Chrystian on the bed and calls her family doctor in the kitchen. In the distance, Chrystian can hear her silently speaking to a man(doctor).
"Hi, Dr. Klein. This is Rayne. I'm sorry for waking you up so early in the morning. I just woke up at Chrystian's screaming. Yes he's fine... just had a bad dream... I got his temperature at 99.9¼. He was fine last night though. What should I give him? Ok... Ok, Thank You. Thanks, I really appreciate that. Okay, sure I can do that. Bye..."
As she hangs up the phone she starts to hear the baby talking and giggling. Startled, Rayne sneaks up closer to the room and hears the baby gibbers. She gets a spine chill on her neck as she creeps up to the door and peeks. There is no one present but Chrystian. As she shows herself, Chrystian turns to her and giggles,"mommyyy" with glee.
"Hi baby, who were you talking to?" she asks.
"It was a man mommy," he replies.
"Where baby?" she asks. "He say my daddy mommy" he says joyfully.
Rayne trembles with a sudden rush of goose pimples up her spine.
"Don't talk like that Chrystian Joel, you are scaring mommy," she trembles telling Chrystian.
"I see man.."
"STOP IT!" Rayne interrupts.
"Where did you see him?" she asks frightened as she begins to cry.
"There, back of you mommy," he says with a smile.
Rayne being cold stiff moves her teary eyes and utters "Sse..basstian? is that you?"
She turns slowly with her stiff body. Sebastian begins to sing,"Love is in the air... Told you I'd come back to haunt..."
Rayne faints...
"... munchkin," Sebastian says as Chrystian smiles convinced that it is a magic trick.
She finally wakes up and freaks. She does not believe that he is there with her.
"But... how,... how can I see... you," she questions with a puzzled voice.
"You see it as an enigma baby. I don't even know myself but I'll try to explain".
He sat her up straight and calmed her down. Sebastian then told her what his brother said before he passed to the other side or entered the bright light as everyone calls it.
"I told my brother to tell you I would haunt you one of these days," Sebastian says smiling to Rayne.
"Days! she exclaims. It's been three Years, why now, so late?" she calms her voice and asks with a sad look.
"Hey, take it easy on me girl. There was a long line for the goodbye's section. I saw a lot there. Not everyone had the privilege of saying goodbye to their loved ones. Must have been a war or something. It was long. I'm sorry. I didn't know it was going to be that lengthy. Besides, it's a deep drop zone baby. Believe you me, it's fawwwrr. Three years, Wow," Sebastian exaggeratedly speaks exhaustively. I didn't mean to scare you like that. After I past a silly test, I waited for the right time, but you faltered my love", Sebastian smiles as to hold a laugh.
...So, you named him Chrystian Joel huh?" he asks Rayne.
"Yup, sure did baby," Rayne smiles as she looks at Chrystian.
"Your mom was so happy when he was born. Your mom has a granddaughter that was born close to Mother's Day. Now your dad, he had the most memorable gift in a dads world. Chrystian was born on Father's Day," she tells Sebastian.
"What do you mean?" Sebastian asks.
"Well, first of all, he LOOKS just like YOU. I mean look at him, it's YOU. It's a new born Sebastian. Second of all, he was born on Father's Day. What more could a dad want on his day. Your Dad was sooo happy," Rayne says as she began to cry.
"Hi Sabasty," Christian says as he passes by in between them.
"I miss you so much Sebastian, why did you have to be taken away from me. You are all I ever wanted and you were stolen from me. I miss your kisses and your hugs, your smile, and your blinks on my cheek. You are my Poky, my love, my baby, my sweetie, Sebi-Webi you are my everything. I don't know how much more I can take with you not being here... I needed to see you, touch you, hear you, feel you, and most of all Love you... why did you leave me?" Rayne cleans her eyes as she speaks in sorrow.
"I can't really answer that baby. Maybe or I think God had a plan for me I guess," Sebastian replies in a sad wandering tone.
The vindicated little Chrystian stops parading the bedroom and starts watching cartoons.
"I love you very much munchkin, I came back to say goodbye one last time and for you to lay me down to sleep in piece," Sebastian says as he sheds a tear.
Together for the last time, Sebastian not able to lay on her lap he lays next to her as she does the same. Rayne begins to cry knowing that she will not see him again. She trembles as she runs her fingertips across his face.
"You're presence is making me cold," Rayne tells Sebastian.
"Rayne?" Sebastian whispers.
"Yes my love?" she says.
"Please tell me those three words that make me rest comfortably. Do you remember?" he asks.
"Yes, I remember," she replies crying.
Sebastian smiles and looks at Rayne and she tells him those three words.
"I...LOVE...YOU...Poky" in a sniffling, crying sound.
Sebastian smiles again with contentment and asks her to whisper it so he could sleep happy.
"NO, I don't want to let you go," she cries.
"You're going to be in my heart baby and you are ALWAYS going to have a part of ME with you. Giving you trouble, throwing toys all over the place. Nice house by the way," Sebastian humors Rayne.
"I'm going to (sniffles) miss you," she smiles and says with a calm voice.
Sebastian looks at Rayne and tells her that our son is going to be ok.
"He is not sick. I just had to find a way to wake you up by not scaring you. But, I guess I failed", Sebastian giggles in a humorous tone.
Rayne stares right in his eyes and whispers I Love You Baby...always. She begins to sob as Sebastian vanishes to her last words.
"I'm not going annyy...wherrrre...." Sebastian's fading voice cries softly.
Chrystian turns around, runs at her, stares at her, and says in perfect grammar, "Don't cry Mommy... I'm still here. I TOLD you, I'm not going anywhere." Rayne opens her eyes and raises her head slowly (saying Se...bastian? in a meek manner). By the tone of Chrystian Joel's voice, she looks at him straight in the eyes and hugs him. -THE END-
