Short story, this is going to be sad, but I think you will like this Sanda. I know you are a real Luke and Reid fan, I think this story, is different than my other stories. Hope you like it.
Chapter 1
Lily walked into Luke's room, with a tea in her hand. She smiled, "Oh your awake, I brought you a tea"
"Thanks Mom". Lily walked over putting it down, she sat beside Luke. He smiled, "Mom you never give up on me do you"?
"You are my baby Luke, I see you are writing in that journal again"
"Yeah Mom, it helps me"
"Luke it isn't healthy Reid died 10 years ago, you have to put that part of your life behind you"
"Never Mom, I never forgot Reid, and I never will. I know you don't understand, but think of Dad, if he died how would you feel"?
"Luke you were not married, he was a love interest, he died"
"He was my life, I feel him near me everyday. I feel his touch, we never made love, but I dream we did, and it was beautiful. I never gave my heart to anyone else, because Reid took mine when he died. Why did he have to go out that day? Why did God take him from me, it isn't fair. He was my life Mom, I miss him so much, I want to see Reid again Ma Ma".
Lily started to cry, she grabbed Luke close, and rocked him. "Don't say that Baby I won't let you go"?
"Mom, you have to you know that, my time is coming to a end. I'm at peace, I'm not scared, I know he is waiting for me".
"Luke we are getting another Doctor's opinion, I won't give up"
"Mom you have four Doctor opinions, they all say the same, I'm dying Mom. I have cancer, and they can't stop it, don't cry Mom, I'm at peace, I don't want to see tears from you"
Lily touched his face, "Baby I'm going to get your Father. I think it would be nice if you were brought outside for a while today it is beautiful".
"Can he take me to the Pond Mom"?
"Again you go there all the time, I know why you want to go there"
"Because of Reid your right, please Mom"
"Fine but your Sister will have to stay with you"
"Ok that is fine, Natalie loves to hear my stories about Reid"
"Oh Luke I like hearing your stories too, but you always end up crying that isn't healthy"
"I'm dying Mom, that isn't healthy"
"I will get your Father, you are not dying, and I won't listen to you saying that anymore". Lily walked out, but ran downstairs crying. Luke shut his eyes, he knew he would have a lecture from his Dad. He whispered, "Reid your here , I feel you close"
"I'm here, I have always been by your side". Luke whispered, "Reid you will be here when it is my time right"?
"Where else would I be Richie Rich"?
'Nice you still call me that after your gone"
"Yeah I didn't change even after death"
"I'm scared Reid, were you scared"?
"Luke it is beautiful, I promise you, there isn't anything to be afraid of". Luke opened his eyes, and smiled, he saw Reid, he whispered, "kiss me Reid".
Reid smiled, "This is strange, but I don't think he will mind". Luke shut his eyes, but he felt Reid's lips over his. He whispered, "Oh I missed your kisses".
"Me to Luke". Just than Holden walked in, "Luke I hear you want to go to the pond"?
"Dad you have bad timing as always"
"What do you mean"?
"Nothing I just was daydreaming".
"Lets get you dressed , than we will drive out to the pond"
Luke smiled as Holden went to get his jacket, and pants. Luke whispered, "Reid I'm sorry". Holden turned around seeing Luke talking but he knew he was seeing things again. Holden held the wall, he felt ill seeing him suffer, and there wasn't anything he could do for him. Holden walked over, "Son lets get you ready".
"Ok Dad". Luke struggled to sit up, while Holden helped him dress.

Great start to your new story Jessie. OMG poor Luke is having a horrible time without Reid. I would LOVE to strangle Lily for telling Luke that it isn't healthy for him to be still grieving Reid because they weren't married at the time of Reid death. It was horrible that Reid and Luke never got to make love before he died and Chris got his heart.

Chapter 2
Holden got Luke ready, and helped him downstairs. Natalie ran over, "I'm coming to the pond to Luke"
"I know I'm happy about that". Holden helped Luke down the stairs, as Lily opened the door of the car. Holden had to lift Luke into the car.
"I guess you are happy I'm losing weight eh Dad"
Holden was sick seeing Luke suffering but he smiled, "Lets get you to the pond". Natalie got in, Lily waved as they drove off. She walked into the house, than went up to Luke's room. She was pulling the bedding off, she was going to change the bedding before he got home. She started to cry, she threw the sheets across the room, and fell to her knees. She looked to the sky, "Why take him God take me he is so young"?
"Ma Ma"
She wiped the tears from her eyes, "Ethan"?
"I don't want you to go, I don't want Luke to go either"
"I know baby Mom shouldn't talk like that"
"Are we going to lose Luke"?
"I don't know Ethan, I don't know" Ethan walked over hugging Lily, she touched his face. "Why don't you go down, and have some cookies, and milk. I will put this in the wash, and join you"
"Ok Mom". He ran out, Lily could barely get off the floor. She was still crying when she jumped she could swear someone touched her back. She turned around but no one was there. She looked around the room, but ran to the phone. She called Holden on the cell phone getting upset when he didn't answer right away.
"Hello"
"Holden is Luke ok"?
"Yes we just left there I'm with him "
"He is ok"?
"Yes Lily what is wrong with you"?
"Nothing I'm sorry, tell him I love him". She hung up, and turned around looking at the room.
"Reid was that you"? She listened but she didn't get a answer, she didn't expect to. She has heard Luke talk to Reid, she thought he was hallucinating, but she could feel a presence. She whispered "Reid I don't want to give him to you yet, but I know he wants to be with you. I know I'm being selfish but I don't want to lose my baby". She sat on the bed looking at a picture of Luke, and Reid she touched it. "I'm so sorry Reid, I was so wrong about you, he loved you, he never forgot about you. I hope you forgive me, please take care of him, I'm so afraid to let him go." She wiped the tears from her eyes, and grabbed the sheets. She was walking to the door, she heard a voice, "He loves you Lily, but I will keep him safe until his Ma Ma gets there". She dropped her sheets, and turned looking around, she knew he was there, she walked to the middle of the room. "Reid please don't let him go alone, be there for him". She was crying she sat on the bed shaking, she finally realized the time with her boy was coming to a end real soon, but knowing Reid will be there for him, made her feel at peace, but she knew when the time came to say goodbye, it would be the hardest thing she ever had to do.

Beware this is really sad. Chapter 3 Holden got Luke and Natalie to the pond. Natalie put the blanket down, as Holden helped Luke down. He touched his face, Natalie whispered, "Dad I will take care of him promise". Holden whispered, "I will be helping Grandma but I will be back soon. You have water in the bag, use the cell phone if you need me" "Dad I'm not going this minute, I will be fine" "I know Son". Holden got up he walked away, he couldn't help it but he cried all the way to the Stables. He knew Luke was failing fast, he didn't want to let him go either. He knew the kids, and Lily would be heartbroken but he considered Luke his son even though he wasn't his flesh, and blood. Emma walked over, "Holden baby are you OK"? "No Ma Ma we are going to lose him". She went into Holden's arms, and they both broke down crying. She loved Luke, and she knew losing him she would never be the same. Natalie smiled, "Do you mind if I go for a swim"? "Sure but stay in the shallow end, I can't get up remember" "I will just feeling the water on my feet". She got up splashing in the water she smiled as he smiled back. He was so pale, but the sun on his skin felt so good. He looked up at the sky, and whispered, "Oh Reid " He felt a brush of wind against his face, it surprised him. He whispered, "You are here Reid, I feel you". He shut his eyes, as he whispered, "Oh God Reid I'm scared". "Don't be I'm here" Luke smiled, "You have been all along, I felt you always" Natalie was looking she heard him talking. She listened she had tears in her eyes, she loved Luke but she knew she was going to lose one of the most important people in her life. She put her hand to her mouth she wanted to be brave, but she started to cry. Luke whispered, "Reid is it beautiful"? "Yes it is the most beautiful place, don't be afraid" "I'm not really with you beside me". Luke smiled as Reid whispered, "It is time Luke". Luke opened his eyes, he never saw Reid before but he was standing in front of him. He put his hands out to him, Luke reached out, and got up facing Reid. "I'm not dreaming am I"? "No I'm here to take you home" Luke saw Natalie run over crying, as Luke turned back seeing his body on the ground. He wanted to cry , he whispered, Natalie Oh it isn't fair she is alone". Natalie ran away Luke looked at his lifeless body, than he looked at Reid, and than he looked over the pond, he saw the most beautiful light. He smiled, "Oh it is beautiful Reid". "Come it is time". Luke was walking it was like they walked over the Pond he turned back once seeing Holden lifting his lifeless body, and his Grandma screaming holding Natalie. They all were crying out Luke's name, but he knew they would be fine they had each other, and he knew he was with the man he loved, and the man he never got to have a life with. Reid and Luke walked into the light, as Holden, and Emma tried to revive Luke but he was gone, and they knew it. To Be continued.

Melinda you missed the last chapter, read it first it is important to this story. Oh God I'm in a sad mood today, another sad chapter. I'm trying to end some of my stories. Chapter 5 Holden left Natalie at his Mom's place, and went home to tell Lily. He didn't know how to tell her Luke was gone. He went into the house, and he called out her name. He didn't get a answer, he looked around downstairs, than he ran upstairs, and found Lily sitting on Luke's bed. She was holding his pillow in her arms, and just staring at the wall. Holden walked over to her touching her arm. She turned looking at him, he touched her face. "I lost him didn't I"? Holden's eyes filled up with tears, "Yes he is gone, I'm so sorry" "Oh Holden, I felt him go, my baby is gone" Holden pulled her into his arms, and whispered, "He died by the Pond" Lily looked into Holden's eyes, "He died , he is with Reid now, that is where he has wanted to be ever since Reid's death" "Yes, I believe they will be reunited in Heaven Lily" "Reid was here, I felt his spirit, Luke has said he was around, he was I know it" "Lily there is no such thing as Ghosts, it was Luke getting comfort thinking Reid was waiting for him" "What am I going to do without my boy"? "You will go on you have Faith, Natalie, and Ethan. Luke would want you to be brave, and he was so brave right up until the end" Lily started to cry, as Holden held her. They both knew it was going to be hard, but together they would get through this. Lily whispered, "His wishes were to be buried like Reid. He wanted part of his ashes to be with Reid at the cornerstone of the new neuro-wing, and half scattered over Snyder farm" "Can you do that Lily"? "I must it was his wish, God Holden he loved Reid, why did I make it so hard on them. Reid was the love of Luke's life, and I never accepted him into the family" "Shh that is over now, we can worry about the past" "Do you think they can be together in Heaven"? "Natalie said she called out Reid's name just before he died. She is positive Reid came to bring him home" "Oh God I hope so, my boy won't be alone" Holden heard Ethan come in calling out to them. Lily whispered, "I can't tell him, he loved his brother so much" "We all loved him, I will go tell him" Lily laid back she started to cry holding Luke's pillow. Holden walked downstairs, Ethan smiled, "I thought I was all alone, I was scared" Holden knelt down, "Hey how was school"? "Good why didn't Natalie have to go"? "Well she is at Grandma's, but I have to tell you something, and I really need you to be brave for Daddy" Ethan smiled, "Wait look what I made for Luke, I hope he likes it" He pulled out a clay cup, and it had , "I love you Luke" on it. Holden started to cry, "He would love this Bud, he would love this so much. He loves you Ethan, but he went to Heaven today. He was so sick , he couldn't hold on any longer" "Luke is gone"? "Yes, I'm so sorry" "He didn't get to say goodbye to me" Ethan ran upstairs crying as Holden collapsed on the floor crying holding the cup.

The final chapter
Luke funeral was a at a church, and after they were going to Emma's Pond to scatter his ashes. He was cremated just like his wishes, he wanted his ashes to be along side Reid in the wall at the hospital Wing, and scattered at the Snyder pond. The family were all beside themselves but they honored his wishes. They all came back to Emma's place, and Lily had his ashes, and the family walked out to the pond, and Lily was holding the urn to her chest as tears rolled down her cheek. Emma and Holden walked over to her, and put their hand on her shoulder as she whispered.
"I can't do this"
"You have to Lily this is what Luke wanted". Lily opened the lid of the urn, and walked over to the pond, and started to cry. Emma walked over taking the urn from her saying a little prayer, and knelt down pouring the ashes out, and whispered.
"God Bless you Luke, I know you are happy with Reid, and your Grandpa, and other family members, but know we all miss you , and we will never forget you sweet boy"
Natalie walked over to her Grandma, and hugged her crying.
Emma knelt down, "Sweet girl say some words for your Big Brother"
Natalie wiped tears from eyes, and looked over the water.
"Luke thank you for always helping me out with Ethan, he likes to bug me, but you made him stop. I miss all the times you swam with me, and when I couldn't sleep you would tell me those silly stories, and tell me they were the truth. I love you Luke, and I will see you again, but not for a long while".
Faith smiled hugging Natalie, and said, "Hey Luke I know your watching us right now, and I know Reid is beside you, I bet your smiling like crazy. I knew you two belonged together, and the only thing that gives me peace is your with him, but he better make you happy because he will have to deal with me if he doesn't. I feel you still Luke, and I know you will look over us, but it will be sad not hearing anyone of your I done that before lectures, and regretted it. I wish I could be as amazing as you Luke, and I will forever keep you in my prayers"
Ethan was sitting on the blanket, and whispered, "I love you Luke but I'm real mad at you for leaving me". Emma walked over sitting beside him, and whispered, "He never wanted to leave you Baby"
"I know Grandma"
Holden was hugging Lily he touched her chin, and whispered, "He loved you Lily, and we did everything for him, and he knows it. "
"I know but I wasn't with him when it happened I am his Mom, he was all alone"
Natalie walked over to her Mom touching her leg.
"He wasn't alone Reid came for him, Luke was talking to him"
Lily knew what Natalie was talking about she felt Reid in Luke's room, and she knew he came for Luke, but it didn't make her feel better. Lily hugged Natalie, and whispered, "Sweetie Luke loved us all, this is just a really hard day for all of us". Holden took Lily's hand, and said they should all go up, and get something to eat. Lily said she needed a few moments alone to say goodbye. Holden didn't want to leave her but Emma thought it was for the best she needed this time to say someone to her boy alone.
Holden, Emma, and the kids walked away to the farm house. Lily knelt down just looking at the pond, and was remembering all the times she spent here with Luke. She remembered the good times, and bad times. She started to cry how do you say goodbye to your first born, it isn't fair. She cried out his name, and asked God why he was taken but she knew it happens, and there is no other reason than it was his time. Your not suppose to bury your children, but she knew she had 3 other kids that need their Mom, and she had to be brave for them. She got up picking up the empty urn, and put the lid on it, and was walking away when she could have sworn someone touched her shoulder. She turned but no one was there, and she whispered, "Luke I know your here"
She was shivering but she could have sworn she heard Luke's voice whisper in her ear.
"Mom I'm OK, I'm at peace"
"Luke "
She felt a chill go through her, and than she felt a calm go over her, and she knew he was gone. She stayed there for the longest time, and finally she walked back to the house, but didn't tell anyone what she felt at the pond. She doesn't know how but the knowledge of Luke telling her he was at peace made her feel a little better but she knew until the day she died she would miss her precious boy, but the time she had on this earth with him was a blessing, and for that she will be grateful for the rest of her life.
The End.
