The Funeral, Grief and Passion
Abby had locked herself upstairs pulling photos out of Jon when he was a baby and memories of him at the school plays and Abby had just sat there and cried through all the photos she sees of Jon.
Abby was going through grief and she said to herself before Jon died, she said 'I couldn't live without Jon' and now he gone, she heartbroken. Connor on the other hand was looking after Christina and Emma as they have just lost a brother. Connor feels for them all but handling it in his own way. Christina is trying to burn the memories of Jon and trying to forget he was even in this world but it was getting harder and harder.
Emma on the other hand was just being quiet towards everyone and handling it in her own way. Nick was handling it very well; he sits at home with a bottle of whiskey in front of him and is now wondering if he had been more of a father to Jon, he wouldn't have been taken by Abby dad. Abby and Nick have hardly spoke to each other about Jon.
Connor one afternoon goes into the bedroom and finds Abby going through photos and picking ones out and she put the rest away and she looked at Connor and gives her a hot drink and she smiles weakly and stands up.
"The father coming over" Connor said.
"Get Nick to deal with it, I can't arrange Jon funeral" Abby cried.
"Come on Abby, we hardly see you" Connor replied.
"Connor, get out yeah" Abby said.
"He your son" Connor burst out.
"Nick can handle it on his own" Abby responded.
Connor slammed the door shut and went downstairs and Nick came in the front door and the vicar came and Connor took Nick and the vicar upstairs and into his and Abby room.
"They here" Connor said letting them in and he left.
"Hello Abby" the vicar said. "I'm sorry about the terrible lost"
"I've booked the church for this Friday, Mr Temple and Christina has done all the flowers and arranged everything, so the funeral is this Friday" the vicar spoke again.
"He hasn't gone" Abby said.
"Abby, I know how your feeling" the vicar replied.
"He not dead" Abby cried.
"I'm sorry" the vicar responded.
"He my baby" Abby whispered.
Nick went over to Abby and hugged her and she pushed him away and sat on the bed. The vicar and Nick left the room and Abby burst into tears. It came to Friday and Abby was dressed and ready to go, she went downstairs and saw Emma getting Lisa ready and Emma looked at Abby and she smiled.
Abby went into the kitchen and Jenny was standing with Connor and Abby looked around for Nick.
"Where's Nick?" Abby asked.
"He'll be here in a minute" Connor answered.
Abby left the kitchen and the doorbell went and she answered it and it was Nick and Abby hugged him and they all sat in the living room and then 10 minutes after that they left and walked to the church and Abby was held by Nick. Abby held Nick hand as they got to the church.
When they entered the church, Abby sat at the front with Nick and he put his arm around her and cuddled her. Connor left the church and Abby had noticed and just sat there.
After the funeral it was the wake and they went to the ARC and had the wake there instead of having it in the pub.
Abby sat down in the corner with Nick and they spoke to each other.
"He been dead for weeks now, it just the beginning of a new life" Abby said.
"He was my boy as well" Nick replied.
"Drinking you soul down won't solve your problems Nick" Abby responded.
"Hiding away in your room isn't solving your problems either" Nick said. "Connor terrified to say something to you"
"Yeah well we all are terrified of saying things to each other" Abby let out.
"Something wrong with you" Nick responded.
"Yeah, my grieving for my son" Abby replied.
Nick got up and left Abby on her own and Connor came over and sat with her and she looked at him.
"You're not grieving so much" Abby muttered.
"Look Abby, I know he was my stepson and everything but I know we all got to move on in life, Christina has, Emma trying and your just helping anyone around here" Connor said.
"I don't want to talk about it Connor" Abby replied.
"Yeah, well everyone has grief but you don't stopped" Connor responded.
Abby slapped Connor across the face and everyone looked at them.
"Why are you even here?" Abby asked.
"Don't know" Connor answered.
Abby threw wine in Connor face and left the ARC and Jenny walked over to him. Abby had gone back to Nick place and they talked and laughed.
"We had some great times" Nick said.
"Yeah we did" Abby replied.
Nick touched Abby cheek and kissed her on the cheek and whispered to her.
"You're so pretty" Nick whispered.
Abby kissed Nick deeply on the lips and the passion between them got so deep and it went on. An hour later, Abby and Nick were getting dressed and Abby and Nick smiled at each other and laughed and Nick kissed Abby and hugged her.
Abby had left Nick and went home and saw Connor drinking plain vodka and she went over to him and he swallowed it down and looked at Abby.
"Where have you been?" Connor asked.
"I went to speak to Nick for a bit" Abby answered. "I'm sorry Connor I'm just dealing with it my way"
Connor smiled weakly and hugged her. Abby kissed Connor on the lips and took his hand and they went upstairs.
The next morning Abby was up making breakfast for everyone and Emma came downstairs and saw Abby moving around and doing things and she looked at Emma.
"Morning, bottle in the fridge" Abby said.
"Mum, are you OK?" Emma asked.
"Yes I'm fine" Abby answered.
Connor and Christina came in and saw Abby doing things and Emma got the bottle of the fridge and Abby smiled at them all.
"Right um breakfast is done, I'm off to the ARC" Abby replied leaving.
Abby went to see Nick and they got so passion with each other and Abby told Nick she wanted another baby.
"Nick, I want another baby" Abby whispered.
Nick kissed Abby and hugged her.
