Two days later John and Abbi held Ace's memorial service. Everyone was there including Vince and his family. Everyone watched as John and Abbi and their families came in and sat in the front row of the church. The pastor stood up to the podium and looked at audience.

"We are gathered here today to say goodbye to Asa Michael Cena or Ace as he was called. It's always hard to understand God's plan when something like this happens. Ace was only here for a short time but he touched everyone with his presence. Now it's up to us to go on. While we may never understand God's plan, we know we must go on. Ace's parents have asked a friend, Sarah Borden, to read a poem."

Sarah, who was Abbi's best friend, got up to read the poem.

"Little Angels author unknown

When God calls little children to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world, seem wonderful and mild
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold,
So He picks a rosebud, before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but few
To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye."
So when a little child departs, we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find.

Once she read the poem, she sat down the second row. Randy sat at the back of the church. He didn't want to make any trouble for John or Abbi and he wasn't sure how they would react to him being there.

"Thank you, Sarah. The Cena's would like to thank you for coming and appreciate your thoughts and prayers. As you know the graveside service is private. Let us pray. God of all mystery, whose ways are beyond understanding, lead us, who grieve at this untimely death, to a new and deeper faith in your love, which brought your only Son Jesus through death into resurrection life. We make our prayer in Jesus' name. Amen.

Once he had prayed everyone headed out. John and Abbi had asked that the graveside service be private and just for them and their immediate family.

Once the memorial was over, Randy flew back to St. Louis. He had sent a card and flowers to say how sorry he was that Ace died and how grateful he was to them for what they did. He arrived back at the hospital and went into Baylee's room.

"I went to the memorial. " He said walking in.

"How was it?" Whitney asked him.

"Sad. Of course what else can it be for a child?" He sat down and saw that Baylee was sleeping. He turned to his wife. "Whitney, it's time to get over this hatred for Abbi."

"You know why we hate each other. The night before their wedding, you slept with her and I slept with John. That night changed everything and you know that."

"That was five years ago. It's time to move on. We got married and we had children. Everything turned out good. Now John and Abbi need us. They are grieving for their son."

"God you know it's because there was a chance that you were Ace's father at one time." Whitney walked out into the hallway. "I hated that. I hated that you slept with her and that you were possibly the father of Ace."

"Whitney, I wasn't and you know that. The DNA test showed that John was the father. How do you think I felt about you and John? I hated that you slept with him. We made mistakes and it ruined our friendship. But now we have a chance to get that back. We have a chance to be there for them. They lost their son and they gave our daughter the gift of life. We can help them."

"No, I can't forget that Abbi slept with you and that you almost were the father of her son."

"Whitney, listen to me now. We are going to help Baylee get better and then we are going to help John and Abbi. Once the person who hit Ace is found, they will need support. We are going to provide that. So you need to forget that Abbi and I slept together." He grabbed her arm not tight but enough to prove his point. "If you don't make an effort, this marriage is over and I will get custody of Baylee. It's up to you. Now, I think you should go home and take a shower and get some real food. I will stay with Baylee."

"Alright. I will try to be friends with Abbi again." She headed in and kissed Baylee goodbye and headed home.

Randy sat down and watched his daughter sleep. He had always known that Whitney hated Abbi. The night before John and Abbi's wedding were the bachelor and bachelorette parties. Things were crazy and everyone was drinking. Abbi and Whitney both were petite blue eyed blonds who hair at that time was cut the same. It wasn't until the next morning that they realized they were with the wrong people. Everyone confessed about it before the wedding. John and Abbi had somehow got through it. They forgave each other and have a great marriage. He and Whitney got married a month later and since had a troubled marriage. They had fought and separated so many times.

When Abbi announced that she was pregnant two months after the wedding, both couples wondered who the father was. Abbi had a DNA test done when she was twenty weeks and it said that John was the father. Whitney just couldn't let it go and it soon caused the couples to stop being friends. Over the years, he and Whitney tried to have a baby and never did until Baylee. The fact that Abbi had a son and a happy marriage made Whitney hate her more. She never got over that Randy could have been the father of Ace.

He hoped that now that Abbi and John had saved Baylee that Whitney would finally let go of what happened that night five years earlier.
