DISCLAIMER just like a brain, I do not own FF 8

Edea stared down at a freshly dug grave, the grass had only begun to grow back. Her eyes swollen and heavy from days of crying, missing her husband now gone. Everyone began to grow concerned for her, but she didn't care this was her time to morn. Soft foot steps sound behind her of a man approching her. A males hand puts down a red rose on the tomb stone.

"I know how you feel, all alone in this world." His voice drops, "The one you love gone forever."

Edea looks up at Laguna tears now streaming down her face. Laguna grabs her and hugs her tight. He held her like she was the last woman on earth. In these last few days at the garden he had fallen in love with her. Still he knew it was still to soon.

"Laguna what em I going to do with out him." Edea asks.

Laguna didn't know what to say. When Raine died he fell apart, then he found his son. He strokes her silky hair back, and rocks her ever so carefully. He couldn't let her fall apart, even that pain was to much for him to bare.

"I don't know Edea." /Raine help me./ "I'm sure Cid would have wanted you to move on... In time of course."

Tears continue to fall as she crys on Laguna's shoulder, Her arms held him tight as her body spasimed with the sobs, Laguna held her tight to, trying his best to help her in this hard time. Some where in the cool breeze a calm over took the sorrow, and Edea stilled in his arms. She was a sleep. Carfully Laguna picks her up and carries her to her room.

Gently he lays her into bed and covers her up. She looked so deceptively peaceful in her sleep. One would barely notice what she faced in reality. Laguna takes one look at her and slowly makes his way to the door.

"Laguan." Her voice sounds weakly. "Stay with me please, I don't want to be alone."

"Okay."

Laguna grabs a chair drags it beside her and sits down. He takes her hand and watches as she drifts back to sleep. Everything was so calm and peaceful, cept for the cramp growing in his leg. Laguna's eyes fall on Edea's hand. So small and skinny, and her skin agianst his callosed hands is so soft. Like holding a delicate downy feather.

Thoughts of her and him start running through his head. Invading his need to seperate the now, and later.
