The first 7 chapters of this was written by myself and someone else. After Chapter 7, I continued by myself.
Chapter one
The large buzzing emerging from the alarm clock rung through the house and Roman let out a grunt and said "oh no please, I wish I didn't have to go to work" Roman then dragged himself from his comfy bed. "cant you just stay in bed for 5 more minutes " Martha begged "well its well for some to be able to have a lie in, but don't worry hunny I have no work tomorrow so we can spend all morning together " Roman replied.."Here they come "laughed Roman. "Mum Jacks being nasty" Brooke shouted as she ran into the bedroom." Be good you two, we are going to your daddy' grave soon with some flowers Jack". "Are you alright love?" Roman asked as he put his arms around her. "Yeah I'm fine, I just hate this time of year". It was the fourth anniversary of Jack's death and it didn't get any easier as time went on. "Alright you two get dressed we are going to the diner for brekkie" " and maybe your auntie Colleen will be there and if your very good she might even give you both something nice " Martha whispered. Jack and Brooke then squealed with happiness and ran into their rooms to get dressed. "Alright im off to work I will see you soon at the Diner then yeah?" Roman asked " we shouldn't be long babe about twenty minutes" " I will see you then " and he gave her a loving peck and strutted out the door. " are you guys nearly ready to go ??" she shouted " Coming mummy " Jack replied.
" Uncle Hugo" Jack shouted as he ran into the diner. Martha spotted Charlie and Angelo sitting down and turned to the kids. "Ok you two go and tell Uncle Hugo what you want to eat". Martha then walked up over to Charlie and Angelo "Hi Martha how are you feeling?" "I'm ok thanks, Charlie" "I still miss him terribly. Its hard to believe its been four years" "We're going to the grave soon "Martha told them. "We went there before and took up some flowers "Angelo added.
"I just wish Tony was still here, I wish I could have helped him through it, "Martha there was nothing you could have done" Angelo explained, seeing the hurt in her eyes. "I will be right back guys I have to see how my chef is getting on "Martha giggled. She walked slowly through the diner and into the kitchen where she was greeted with a huge grin from her lover. "Are the kids alright" Roman asked "They are enjoying your fine cuisine as it happens" . "Hey actually I made their food "exclaimed Hugo. Martha laughed and said "ok thanks for that Hugo" "anyway babe I better make a move have a nice day and I will see you tonight "Martha said cheekily. Roman then embraced Martha in a passionate clinch "you guys need to get a room seriously" Hugo joked.
"Ok I really have to go now Roman see ya later "she said goodbye to all at the diner and rounded up Jack and Brooke and packed them safely into the car and they set off for the graveyard.
