Flashback

"Derek , come say good buy to your father before he goes to work " Skye yelled up the stairs . She watched as her step son ran down the stairs and out the door . It was a beautiful day and she had big plans for her family , the sky was bright and blue . The Buffalo Sabres where playing the Boston Bruins and Skye had the whole day with Derek . Her husband was a fireman at local fire department , it was his weekend with his son and working . Skye looked out the window at Derek talking to his dad , he looked more and more like Ben . She smiled as she saw Ben and Derek walking back into the house .

" Okay listen , it is my weekend to work at the house but Skye bought Sabre tickets for tonight's game and I got a pair for sat's game . Be good " He looked at his son who had a huge smile on his face . He turned his attention back to his wife .

"So you had to spoil the surprise right " she laughed as she playfully punched him .

" I did , listen this will be a quick weekend , I promise and we can get back to that baby plan you have " he smiled at her before he gave her a quick kiss , she grabbed him by his coat and pulled him in deepening the kiss.

Skye pulled away and let a wicked smile play on her face before she pushed him gently to the door . Ben went to pull her in again but she pushed him out the door telling he was going to be late . She watched him get into his Dodge ram and drive off .

Sighing she closed the door and went back to cleaning up the mess Ben and Derek had made making lunch , she then went in search if her step son . She found him in the living room looking at the wedding album .

" What has your attention sir ?" she asked him as he sat down and stared at the photos behind plastic .

" I just like looking at this , you and my dad look really happy , and there is my mom with Eric and Kelsey ."

" how is your mom I haven't talked to her in a while ?" Skye and Doris actually got along . Ben had been divorced five years before he met Skye , and by that time Doris had remarried . Ben introduced Skye to his son a week after meeting Skye they had hit it off really well and it was really Derek who introduced her to Doris .

Flashback

" mom , mom I want you to meet someone " Derek had dragged a woman into view for Skye to see . It had to be Doris . Doris held out her hand and smiled " You must be Skye . Derek talks about you a lot "

Skye had shook the woman's hand and smiled " its nice to finally meet you Mrs. Holton " Ben and Doris were around 35 at the time . Skye was 28 at the time .

" Oh please it's Doris , nice to meet you. I'm glad that Ben finally found someone"

They weren't like sisters but she and Ben's ex got a long . Her thoughts were interrupted by her cell ringing and she smiled when she saw the number .

" Casey , what do I owe this honor ?...Oh my god , when ? I will definitely let Ben know I'm so sorry , I'll call you tomorrow " she hung up her phone and looked at Derek who for a ten year old was very caring .

" What happened ?" he asked as he saw his step mom's eyes get watery . " A friend of your fathers died today in a fire "

" From here?"

" No in Chicago , come on let's go to the movies and get ready for this game " she told him with a grin . She picked up the phone and dialed her husband's number. It went to voicemail.

" Hey baby , Matt called , Matt Casey and he told me that Andy died today in a fire accident . Please call him . and be careful I love you ." she hung up the phone and grabbed her keys on the table as she saw Derek dart by her .

The afternoon went by too quickly , after the movie Skye took Derek to the Pearl street grille for dinner and then they headed down to the First Niagara center for the Sabres game . The game had turned out to be a great ,game lots of scoring , a few fights and Derek was able to meet a few of the Sabres , Paul Gaustad signed both their jerseys . They had then been invited to the Sabres lounge by the owner and who was she to turn that down .

By the time Skye and Derek were on their way home it was pretty late and Derek had embarrassed her enough by telling goose that she had a huge crush on him . Derek had fallen asleep on the way home and it was a good thing because Skye turned onto her street she saw a large white familiar truck sitting in front of her driveway. The man in the truck stepped out he was covered in black soot and a police car had been sitting there as well . She also saw , Doris 's car parked in her drive way .

Skye pulled her car into her drive way and looked at the back seat and her heart started to race . She turned off the car and started to get out when Brian walked towards her .

" Hey you have to come with me , Doris is going to take Derek"

Skye looked at her friend and nodded " what happened Bri?" as they walked towards his truck a call came over on his squawk box. " cut the siren and lights , patient deceased" she saw Brian stop in his tracks and turn to look at her .

Skye felt her legs go numb , she just stared at the man before her and gasped a " no, no . please don't tell me " she felt her legs give out and felt a pair of strong arms surround her everything went black .

Present time –

Skye , looked at the badge that sat on the dresser ,she then looked at her wedding picture , it was her and Ben holding the fire hose . She smiled at it as she picked it up . It had been three months since Ben died , the same day his buddy died . Skye looked at another picture it was Matthew Casey and Ben at their wedding , she should of called Casey but couldn't handle that call. She looked up when she heard footsteps running towards her .

" Skye , there is a package for you at the door" Derek looked at his step mom , while he missed his father like crazy , he knew it had to be hard on his step mom because now she was all alone …..

I'm sorry it's a rough start but I'll keep it going tomorrow
