*Saying Goodbye*

It had been a long day, Blair had been released from the hospital and now they had to find a way to say goodbye to Marty.

"Will you help me get dressed?" Blair asked as they arrived to La Boulaie.

"Of course," Todd said as he helped her up to her room.

Everything was different now, this house wasn't the same, everywhere she looked she was reminded of Marty. It was her house first. She opened her bedroom door and could almost see the mirror that Marty had shattered when Todd had rejected her. She gasped as she realized that her bedroom had once belonged to Marty.

"What is it?" Todd asked with concern as he helped her sit on the bed.

"This is her room isn't it? This is the same room that you left her heart broken after you had made love?"

"Yes it is...I suppose it's the reason I've never liked living at La Boulaie," Todd whispered as he looked around.

"Yes, that makes sense. I need to find something to wear," Blair said.

"No you don't," Todd said as he grabbed a box from underneath the bed.

"What's this?" Blair asked.

"I brought you a new dress," Todd said as he handed her the box.

"It's perfect," Blair exclaimed as she pulled the black dress out.

Todd helped her change into the dress, it took longer than she expected, she was tired and felt winded from the simplest of movements.

"Are you ready?" Todd asked as he helped her put on her jacket.

"As ready as I'll ever be."

XOXOXO

Todd and Blair arrived at the Saybrooke Mausoleum. It appeared that everyone had already said their goodbye's and left. Their was just one other car in the parking lot.

"The funeral's over. I wanted to give my condolences to Cole," Blair said.

"We will at the house, I know that you wanted to be there for the funeral, but I think it's better if we say our goodbye's in private," Todd said as he squeezed her hand.

"You're right, it's better that way," Blair said as Todd helped her from the car.

Todd and Blair opened up the doors to the mausoleum and could hear her familiar voice echoing through the chamber as a woman dressed in black placed her hand on Marty's closed casket.

"I'm so sorry you were forgotten. What once was two became one," the woman said as she wept.

"Mama, what are you doing here?" Blair asked as she went to Addie's side.

"I'm so sorry Blair, she was forgotten, what once was two became one. She was lost and two became one," Addie cried out as she placed her hand on Blair's cheek.

"I don't understand mama."

"Two became one, two became one," Addie said over and over again as she went back to the casket.

"I think that we need to get you back to St Anne's," Sister Agatha said as she came and placed her hands on Addie and began to gently guide her towards the exit.

"Why did you bring her here?" Todd asked Sister Agatha.

"Maybe it was a mistake, but she was so agitated when she saw the obituary. I thought that it would help her to say goodbye, but maybe I made things worse," Sister Agatha explained.

"It's okay Sister. Mama, I'll come visit you tomorrow," Blair promised as she gave her mama a gentle hug.

"You found what I lost. One became two again," Addie whispered as she placed her hand over Blair's heart. "A mama always knows," she said as she walked away from Blair and Todd and headed out with Sister Agatha.

"What was that about? I didn't even know that my mama knew Marty."

"I don't know, but I promise that I will do everything that I can to find out," Todd promised as he wrapped his arms around Blair.
