Eric decided to talk to everyone. They assembled in the living room.

"It's no one's fault. No one is to blame. Lucy is our family. What happened twelve years ago is long past," Eric stated.

"It's my fault, though. If I had never been born, nothing would have happened," Ruthie replied.

"It's my fault, Dad would have been there if I hadn't lost Simon," Mary said.

"It's my fault, though, I ran from you," Simon replied.

"Isn't it Matt's fault?" Robbie asked.

"Save it!" Lucy yelled, standing up, "It's my fault! I did it! It was me!" Eric ran to her.

"No, it's no one's fault. We'll be fine, let's just take this slowly. The healing will come," Eric replied. Lucy hugged him and he returned the embrace.

The End
