Jack's POV
Things are done here, officially anyway. The funeral and ceremonies are complete, and we are getting our replacement for CMO within the next day.
Not that anyone is going to replace Janet. No one can.
So in my opinion they are just going to be here.
And yes I am going to try and get along with them, Major somebody.
That is under Sam's influence.
She told me that I was to play nice.
But I don't want to.
See all the influence she has on me.
Most is of it good.
This, I am not to sure about though.
Maybe I am getting to old for this shit.
Breaking in new personnel is a pain in the ass.
But I will be nice.
Try anyway.
Sam is doing better too, and so is Cassie.
They have invaded my house.
Not that I mind at all.
Well all of Sam's books I could do without, I swear I wouldn't have the patience to sit and real ALL of them.
The woman is a walking library.
"Carter's Library' it should read outside of my house. Its all good though.
They still sit alone at night and cry, I can hear both of them, and I do my best to comfort them. Its not so easy all the time.
I was suprised when I saw Daniel the other day, he actually seemed somewhat normal. Whatever that might be for him.
I have to sit down with Sam and Cassie tomorrow to have a conservation I am both looking forward to and one I am totally scared about having.
We are going to be going over Janet's Will and Power of Attorney.
I know some of what is in it, but not everything.
I know this is just going to open all of these wounds that have just started to heal for both Sam and Cassie.
But it could also open up a whole new world for all of us.
So I am going into this with an open mind.
Like it or not.
Sam's POV
Well things have quieted down a little here. Its 2 days after the funeral is over and well, I am still here and so is Cassie.
We are staying at Jack's for some reason, I guess neither one of us really wants to go to an empty house.
And maybe its that me might feel a bit safer here for some reason.
I am not going to try and explain it.
But we have been trying to sit down for dinners, and talk, and basically spend as much time together as possible. I don't want to be alone.
It all comes down to that.
Being alone.
Its not an option.
Cassie is doing somewhat better, I can tell sometimes, she comes out of her room, looking for her mom, and there are times, where I have picked up the phone to call her, but other then that I think we are all doing as okay as we can be,
I know the day ahead is going to be hard, Jack, Cassie and I are going to be looking over Janet's will and power of attorney. General Hammond has already read through it in preparation for the funeral, and I have seen some of it, but I couldn't bear to read everything.
It makes everything to final.
It should be a mute point at this time, because the funeral was 2 days ago.
Its not like I want her stuff, like some cheap memento or something, I want my friend back if I had a choice in the matter.
Jack has been so supportive in this whole thing.
I cant describe it. I knew he would be there for all of us, but now I think its more.
I don't think he wants us to leave when it comes time.
I am not sure I want to.
So that leaves us, with where do we go from here?
Cassie's POV
I have been doing a little better over the past 2 days. Uncle Jack has been awesome.
I can't explain it, but wow. He never pushes me into talking to him. But he lets me know he is always there for me.
Sam has been better too. I can still hear her cry at night, but its okay...I do the same thing.
We have been eating most meals together, which is good, because we all usually talk to each other as a group then.
I guess over food people can talk about anything.
I might even go over to my best friends house this weekend for a little bit.
See I am making improvements.
Although I am going to find it hard.
I am going to miss Sam and Jack.
I haven't seen much of Daniel, but Jack saw him yesterday, and said he looked better.
I am glad, I know losing my mom to him was so hard.
Tomorrow is D day so to speak.
We are going over mom's will.
I can tell Sam and Jack are walking on egg shells with me on this topic. Its like they don't want to do this.
Its more like they are just as scared as I am about doing this...
God, its all sinking in now.
Mom is really gone.
