Chapter Four: The Return

Lisa has just gave birth to her daughter Melody two weeks ago who is in perfect health but will eventually will have her mother's intelligence and beauty but who ended up having her father's hair color. Milhouse arrived back from Michigan before his daughter's birth and Lisa thanked the lord for that, she really wanted Milhouse to be with her. One month later, Lisa has received a call from Bart who was anxious to meet his newborn niece, "Hi Lisa, just to let you know that I might move back to Springfield sooner than I thought"

"That's great, Bart!" exclaimed Lisa, as she held her daughter in one arm and the phone on the other hand, she wanted to ask questions to her brother but no words came out but then tried again, "When are you going to move to Springfield? I mean which month?"

"Well…" Bart though for a minute and then said, "It depends, maybe it will be in two months-"

The baby started to wail which caused Lisa to laugh, her brother was loud enough for the baby to hear it, "Melody doesn't want to wait that long to meet her uncle"

Bart was pacing back and forth with a smile on his face, never he would though his niece was going to wail because he simply told Lisa that he would arrive in Springfield in two months are so. He glanced at the calendar to see when was the last day of studying of being a judge and just realized that he was going to finish in two weeks and turned back to the phone, "Can she hear me talk to you?"

"Yes, that's why she wailed when you were going to finish in two months," Lisa said, handing the baby to her boyfriend, "Why, is there something you want to tell her?"

"Yeah" came the response of Bart, Lisa smiled and lowered the telephone towards Melody so she can hear her uncle say something, "You can speak Bart, she is listening"

"Melody, your going to meet me, your aunt and cousin in two weeks," said Bart, as Lisa jumped with excitement which Milhouse did the same thing, and Melody giggled with happiness. That was such a very exciting moment for the happy couples and the baby that the young Simpsons family were moving back to Springfield. Lisa quickly put the phone close to her ear, "I can't believe this Bart that is so good to be true!"

"I know Lisa, I'm just glad that I'm finishing that quickly" said Bart on the other end of the phone. Lisa's eyes started to water and Milhouse put his arm around Lisa's waist, "Looks like your buddy here wants to speak with you"

Milhouse put Melody back in Lisa's arms and took the phone.

"Hey Bart, what's up? Glad your coming back, your mother is starting to freak me out with 'When is my little boy coming?" and "Has Bart phoned yet since Lisa went to Greece?" and all that stuff about you, womans are womans they never stop worrying about their family members while their family members are fine" Milhouse said, as he received a smack and a glare from Lisa. Milhouse just shrugged and returned to the phone and Lisa whispered in his ears, "Tell him to say good-bye from me"

Milhouse nodded and with that Lisa walked into the living room, staring at the front yard which she saw people walking by and suddenly a familiar red car parked into the driveway which two people came out and waved at Lisa while she came out of the house, "Hi, mom and dad"

"Hi Lisa" Homer said as he started to have coughing fits, Lisa just looked at her father with worry, he hasn't feeling well lately, might be because he worked too much and for ounce that Mr. Burns is dead, can he just slack off a little? Just as Lisa wrapped her other arm around her father she replied, "Dad, you should rest, go sleep in the guest room"

"I will be fine sweetie. If I will just find a duff beer in your house, I guess I will be fine" Homer said, as he coughed some more, more loudly this time. Marge was tickling her grand-daughter's chin while that the baby was giggling, they went in the house and walked to the kitchen which Milhouse was still talking to Bart who Milhouse just told him to hang on and said, "Hi Mrs. Simpson"

Then returned to the phone, "No… your parents has just arrived Bart... yeah so-"

"Bart! My little boy is it you?" called Marge, as she quickly stood next to Milhouse and turned to face him, "May I speak with him?"

"Sure Mrs. Simpson" Milhouse said, handing her the phone. Marge was so excited to speak to her son that she was trembling, "Bart can you tell me when you're coming?"

"I'm moving back in two weeks" replied Bart. This made Marge smile to no end as she turned to her head to her husband, "Homie, Bart is coming back in two weeks!"

"That's great to hear this," Homer said in a weak voice, "bet he is excited to see me and the rest of the family"

"How's dad, mom?" asked Bart from the other end, "His voice looks so weak"

"I know, honey. Your father worked too much… well I meant that he did too much time trying to impress his new boss but apparently he is now ill," Marge said with tears, "I'm afraid that he will die before you return in Springfield"

"Don't worry, mom I'm sure he will be still alive when I will return in Springfield" said Bart with worry. He really hopes that his father is going to be alive when he will return in Springfield in two weeks. Then when he heard his wife calling to him that he needed to babysit Kelso for an hour, he said good-bye to his mother and hung up. Tears started to form in Bart's face as he kneeled and started to cry, his father who will be soon going to heaven but what will be hard is that he will never see his grand-children grow-up. Emma kneeled down next to him as she stroked his spiky hair and asked, "Bart, what is the matter?"

"Its dad," Bart started with a muffle sob and then continued, "He's dying because he's too tired and started to get ill because lack of sleep or spend too much time at the Nuclear Plant"

"Oh Bart, I am so sorry to hear that," Emma said as she hugged him tightly, she really felt sorry for her husband she never thought he was that sensible, "hey but don't worry I'm sure he will be alive when we will be back"

"Yeah you must be right, Emma" replied Bart, kissing Emma on the cheek. Little Kelso walked slowly to his parents as he hugged his father tightly and cocked his head sideways. Bart smiled at his son and thought, Hope dad will able to see his grandson one more last time before he dies.

The night she was breastfeeding her daughter, Lisa's eyes started to get watery, she was thinking what if her father dies before her brother comes back from Greece and what if he had never tried impressed that new boss of him, who was it already, Ms. McGuire? Truly she doesn't care about that person but her father yes she cares, she loves him and doesn't want him, it's the only father that she has. Her thoughts, Dad I really don't know why you had to impress your new boss, it only made you sick and now you won't see Kelso and Melody grow up.

Two weeks has passed and Homer kept getting sicker which we finally know why and it's because of spending too much time at the Nuclear Plant which the other thing is lack of sleep, he didn't really sleep since this woman became boss of Nuclear Plant but she wants him to be in vacation but he denied it, he just wants to impress her with all his work effort he got but he truly needed vacation, he was now pale with dark circle around his eyes, and lost some pounds. Bart has just arrived since yesterday in Springfield with his little family, today he was helping with the movers with all the stuff, the house was a brand new house that got build not a long time ago. Then the next day they went to visit Marge and Homer where the little family were awaited for a surprise party. Bart knocked the door not ounce but twice and when the third time didn't work either so they went in the backyard as they heard, "SURPRISE!"

"Good heavens, this is such a nice surprise" said Emma as she nearly dropped Kelso on the ground. Bart crossed his arms in surprise, "Yeah, since when you guys planned this out?"

"Since what two weeks?" said Milhouse, patting his friend on the back. Never thought they would do such a nice thing, it was like the whole town of Springfield was there, even Duff Man was there. Bart felt hot tears going down his cheeks he heard a "Ha-Ha, Bart is crying"

"Shut up, Nelson!" Sherri scolded at Nelson.

"Yeah, this is such a great surprise for him" said Terri, rolling her eyes at her boyfriend. Actually, Nelson couldn't decide which one he would choose so he decided to pick both. There was Marge hugging her son like if he was a teddy bear, "Oh my sweet little boy, you came back for me, umm... for good I mean, sorry"

Some people 'awed', some people snicker and some even felt sorry for him. Then Lisa walked slowly walking towards her brother, planting a family kiss on his cheek and handed Melody to him, "So is your niece beautiful or what?"

"Yes she is," said Bart, wrapping an arm around her shoulder, "Melody is the name, right? You choose a good name, Liz. Glad that dorky boyfriend of yours didn't choose the name"

"Hey! That dorky as you referred is your best friend" Milhouse said, pretending to be hurt but ended up in a smile. He was glad Bart was back. Bart then noticed that someone was missing, "Hey, where's dad?"

Everyone looked like if they were hit by a train which that made Bart suspicious and asked ounce again, "Where's dad?"

Lisa started to cry and went to hug her mother who was next to her, Marge also started to cry and so was Abbie and Herb. Herb stopped crying for awhile and spokes clearly, "Bart, how to say this but your father is in a coma at the hospital"

That really made Bart swelled up with tears, "What… What happened to him? I mean, he was just sick and with…" he just stopped and just kneeled down and started to sob uncontrollably as a hand was touching his shoulder he just looked up, there was his best friend as he hugged him tightly, "I am so sorry Bart. Your father who was driving back home has just fallen asleep and got hit by a tree but the front got squished pretty badly and had to be send to the hospital for being squished. Bart I am so sorry that you had to hear this at your surprise party"

"That's okay… it just had to happen" Bart said, shaking violently. He had handed the baby to his wife where she brought Kelso in Mr. Flanders's arms, for the world he couldn't believe that his father was dying and that it was a sad tragedy that Homer couldn't see his grand-kids anymore and will leave for a better world. Two days has gone by and Bart visited his father with little Kelso and the rest of the family where there was no dry tears in the room, and today was the day that they didn't want to leave Homer alone but they had to just like yesterday. The night happened that Abe Simpson had a heart attack and died while leaving his family to cry. Two other weeks has passed and Homer left the world to join god, he finally lost the fighting to survive his coma and by Saturday everyone in Springfield came to give the Simpsons some sympathies and walked away from that dreadful place.

Here what was written on Homer and Abe's graveyard where they both had the funeral at the same time?

R.I.P Homer J. Simpson

You were sometimes stupid but were a good person; you have chosen the wrong way to end your life to be with god.

R.I.P Abraham J. Simpson

You were sometimes very annoying but had a kind heart and that it was a pleasure to meet you, you will be missed.
