Prologue:

Will sat silently in his office with his sons and Carrick. It was a grave silence, allowing them to reenact in their minds what had happened in the past few months.

Will slowly closed his eyes and buried his face in his hands as he took a deep breath.

He had just returned from burying his daughter and he couldn't believe the pain that was engulfing him. Drowning him; that was taking complete control over his body.

Just a few months ago she had been fine, or so they all had thought, except Alaina. She knew she wasn't all right, but she didn't tell anyone about her grief, she merely put on a mask and continued on with her life, until she was too sick for help.

Though, now that Will thought about it, he should've known something was bothering her. But everything happened so fast, one month she was going out for walks with Michael, the next-

'Michael,' Will thought grimly and he tried to hold back his tears. Alaina and Michael had been planning to get married in a few months, and now it was all over.

He wouldn't get to see her live her life away from him. He'd never be able to see her and her child grow up.

A cold chill ran down his spine as he remembered her bland stare when he told her that her little girl was dead, Kathryn had only lived for a few days giving Alaina more agony than she had ever known existed.

Will knew that. He knew that Alaina became ill from the anguish of loosing her daughter. He also knew he had done everything in his power to help her but it hadn't been enough.

"Dad?" James asked breaking the cold silence that filled the room. Will looked up at his son.

"Why'd she have to go?"

Will's heart went out to his son as James began to sob.

Jack however remained silent, trying desperately to hold in his misery. It didn't seem right to him to cry for her. Alaina was happy, she was in peace now and he shouldn't wish that she was still here living through hell.

"Is it so wrong to want her back?" Jack asked running his hands through his thick curly hair trying to keep his entire body from exploding from the anger that was building down in the pit of his stomach.

"Yes and no," Carrick answered startling them all. Carrick hadn't spoken for almost three days.

"Yes in the sense that she's with her mother and daughter and in complete bliss." Carrick paused for a second and than continued. "But no in the sense that we all loved her and want her to be with us because we want to be able to take away her pain."

Will nodded and sat back in his chair. Carrick was right; Alaina was finally rid of her pain, her sorrow and her regrets. But now he had to keep on living without her support, her constant advice and entertainment.

His soul was filled with so many voids now; he had lost his wife, his daughter, and his granddaughter, all within a short amount of time.

'The young perish and the old are left to deal with the hell of life without ones they love,' He thought as he stood up and went over to each of his sons and gave them a hug. He might not have much left, but what he did have was still worth getting up for.

"Why don't we all get some rest," He suggested starting to head out of the office. "Carrick," He said in a low tone leaning over the young man. Carrick looked up at him, unshed tears lingering in his gray eyes.

"Rest," Will said patting his shoulder and motioning for them to follow him up the stairs.

Jack and James followed slowly, both looking down at the wood floor the entire way so they wouldn't have to look at the closed door of their sister's room. A door that would never again be opened.

A/N: FINALLY!!!! AHH!!! I hope you like it. It was fun to write. Sorry to all of you who liked Alaina, like I said before I have a problem with killing people. And I didn't have the heart to kill Will. Yet.

Anyhow if you loved it, GREAT! If you hated it, not so great. But I'll get the first chapter up soon so you guys will know what happened between then and the twins being 19!!! BIG time gap but I'll try to explain it okay? Kay. Well Bye!!!

Oh and THANK Empress Ariana who gave me the idea to write a sequel, so give thanks, kudos and rum to her because she deserves it!!!
