Meteors - Curses From Heaven

I finally announced the pregnancy to Pay!

"Pay, I am pregnant!" I said with excitement.

He stared at my stomach and finally realized what I said.

"Oh my gosh! GARLYNE! Really?! Wow. Yes!" he exclaimed.

He leaned his ear up to my stomach to see if he could hear

a heartbeat yet.

He softly rubbed my stomach as he looked at me with such

amazement. He said he was trilled beyond words.

I spent the morning watching television as Pay went out to jog

and go to the gym.

The sun finally rose in Hidden Springs and it was time for school.

Pay finished up his experiments that he had been working on since

five in the morning.

He told Precious he had to go to school and ran off the catch the bus.

I watched t.v. and read books all day as I felt the babies growing inside.

I knew I was having twins, I just could feel it.

Later on by night, I had a baby bump!

I was huge!

"Oh little babies, you have a bit more time til you meet mommy!"

I said to my unborn children.

Pay got home from school and proceeded to do his homework.

He was very frustrated with mathematics.

Pay sat down and asked him if he needed help.

I saw Pay and caught his attention, "Hey how is Brey and his schooling? Is he doing alright?"

"He is doing okay at the moment, I sat down and helped him a bit," he replied.

Suddenly I felt a sharp, painful kick in my side and couldn't

stand up straight. The pain continued and I looked toward Pay who was wondering

what happened and said, "The baby's coming."

"Here it comes," I said as Pay started to freak out.

And I had a baby girl, Veronica Mead.

As I was upstairs, I had more contractions and

had another girl, Vanessa Mead.

The following week...

ALL OF THE SUDDEN,

Out of no where...

A loud explosion. 

A meteor fell from the sky as the sun was rising in from behind

the mountains and landed in the front yard of the Mead house.

Flames started to spread as the dust settled.

Brey was sitting in the bushes playing with his imaginary friend doll...

He couldn't sleep during the early part of the morning...

Almost as if he was aware something was going to happen...

However, the meteor was just meters away from him.

It could have crushed him!

Instead, it burned off his clothing...

Fire started to engulf the house within minutes of the meteor hitting the

ground. Black smoke spread through out the house.

Finally awake and panicked, Pay picked up the phone and dialed 911.

Not but a few minutes later, a fireman had arrived at the house.

He was the first on the scene because he saw and heard the loud explosion.

As the morning passed, eventually two firetrucks were parked outside as the firefighters 

attempted to extinguish the flames.

Brey was still standing outside unsure of what to do.

In only seconds, the sky grew darker and as Brey looked up

he saw something falling from the sky......

As the sky got unusually dark for the early morning,

more firetrucks came to the house to assist in the efforts to

get the fire under control.

BOOM!

Another explosion!

Black smoke rose from the extensive holes in the ground.

More rock, debris, and fire.

The entire house was in flames now.

One of the firefighters was on fire and severely burned...

As the fire was becoming controllable and the smoke cleared,

a glowing orange light arose from the meteor...

None other than the Grim Reaper himself...

showed up...

someone had died...

He breathed deep and stretched out his arms into the air with 

his scythe in hand.

He turned to the front of the house...

An neon orange black figure arose from a grave that had appeared

out of thin air.

It was Brey...

He had lost his life to a meteor...

An unfortunate fate for such a young boy....

He knelt down in front of the Grim Reaper and asked for another chance.

The Grim Reaper looked at him with surprise as the boy begged.

Brey looked up one more time as he plead, but the Reaper

shook his head and had decided his fate was sealed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That same day was the twins' birthdays... 

Pay, unaware of his son having passed, took his daughters out of their cribs

and let them age up.

Veronica Mead looks just like me!

She's the cutest daughter I could ask for.

She has such an innocence.

Vanessa Mead is her father's daughter because she has his features,

but she has my eyes. She even got her grandfather's skin tone, just like my twin

sister Genesis. My father's father is some part Mexican.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been about two weeks since our son passed...

We turned the holes into a small pond and left the meteor

where it lay being that it is far too heavy to move.

We placed Brey's grave here on our lot near the pond

along with a piece of meteor and some yellow flowers, which was 

one of his favorite colors.

We can't get over our son's death...

Our family has lost so many family members to the most unfortunate

disasters... from drowning, to fire, to meteors, and illness...

This can't be happening to me...

Brey come back to me...

Come back to us...

We didn't lose just Brey, we lost his true love, 

Precious...

This photo was found in his school books...

He could see her way before she ever could be seen by us...

Poor Precious...

WHY IS MY FAMILY CURSED?

WHY?

Rest in Peace Brey and Precious Mead.

You both were our children and loved forever...

Rest together you darling souls...

-Love your mother, Garlyne...
