Four months had come and gone since that night, and yet again Tess and Evan were walking to her apartment, that they now shared. Both of them were carrying groceries and Tess arrived at the door first and unlocked it and they entered together as he leaned over the grocery bags and kisses her as she stops at the table in the foyer to put her keys down.

"Ahem," came from the living room.

Before she even turned around she mumbled, "Not again." As she turns around and sees Charlie and Toby sitting in her living room, again. She looks at them and says, "No! Not again! I can not do this again!" as she tears up.

"It's not Jed, Tess," Charlie says quietly as he looks up at her with a tear stained face.

"If it's not Grandpa Jed, why… who…?" she says as she trails off with a waiver in her voice.

"Tess, it's Leo," Toby says as a tear rolls out of the corner of his eye.

"Is he…?" she trails off again as Evan comes up from behind her and kisses the top of her head and rubs her shoulders.

"Yea," Charlie replies, "Last night. Margaret found him, she walked into their room and found him on the side of the bed. By the time the ambulance arrived there was no hope."

"No hope?" Evan said choking on the words as Tess collapses in tears in his arms.

"No," was all she could say, quietly and over.

"Where is he going to be buried?" Evan asks as she leads Tess to the couch and sits with her on his lap, her tears making a wet mark on his work shirt that he was still wearing.

"Arlington," Charlie replied.

"When is everyone getting here?" Tess managed to choke out before she dissolved back to the sobs.

"Tomorrow, Sam and Josh and everyone have to finish the thing tonight and then they're coming back, there will be a car to get you tomorrow at about 10 a.m. to bring you to the house, okay?"

"Okay," Evan responds for the both of them as he disentangles himself from Tess and walks them to the door.

Charlie walks out the door and starts down the hall as Toby lingers at the door with Evan. Toby looks over Evan's shoulder back at Tess and looks at Evan again and sighs.

"She's the baby," he says slowly. "He and… Leo and Jed were always worried the most about her; they worried about how she would take it if one of them died. She is the baby of the group really, she's our miracle." Toby stopped and sighed again watching Tess convulse in sobs on the couch. "Take care of her."

"I will," Evan whispered as he watched Toby and Charlie walk down the hall.

He came back in and looked back at Tess and saw noticed that she wasn't sobbing anymore. She was still curled up on the couch only now she was only slightly crying and as he got closer he realized that she had cried her self to sleep. He looked at her and his heart broke, he hated the idea of her crying and him not being able to stop it, looked at her and leaned over to pick her up and as she adjusted to being in his arms he looks down at her tear stained face and fought as hard as he could for his tears not to fall.
