A/N: I only own Iris. Keep up the reviews; thanks. Enjoy the chapter.

Dave POV

I felt Iris lay down next to me. I looked over at her. She was laying on her side and she was crying. She wasn't crying loud, but I could tell she was crying. I knew John had done something, but I didn't know what. I rolled over and pulled her to me. She calmed down and eventually she fell asleep.

I woke up the next morning and she was still asleep. I got up and took a shower. It was after 8:30. The funeral was at 1 pm. I was so tired because I was worried about Iris. I walked back in the room and she was still asleep. I smiled at her. I put on some boxers and turned on the TV. I didn't realize how loud it was. I jumped when it turned on. I quickly turned it down and looked at her. I saw that she was awake. She smiled at me.

"Sorry." I said.

"It's ok." she said laughing.

"What?" I asked her.

"Your boxers." she said as she got up. I realized what boxers I had on and laughed as well.

"You don't like my "Sexy" boxers?" I asked her.

"Beautiful, be right back." she said. She smiled and walked out.

She came back in a few minutes later.

"Come on, breakfast." she said.

I walked out with her and everyone was in the kitchen eating. The conversation was normal, but everyone was still down. The weather accurately portrayed the mood. It was cloudy and grey outside.

We all got ready around 11:00 and left for the funeral home. John, Randy, Iris, Matt, and I all rode together. Iris drove and Randy sat up front with her. We were quiet the entire way there.

We arrived and went in. John's family was there and people were coming in. I saw Iris talking to different people and then a little boy spotted her.

"Iris!" he yelled her. She turned and looked for the voice. The little boy spotted her and she smiled at him. She picked him up when he got close. She was holding him and talking to him. A man walked up to her and started talking to her and the little boy. I could not help but watch her. She looked and acted just like a mother. I just sat beside Randy and watched her.

Randy POV

I was sitting beside Dave. I had talked to a few people that I knew or had recognized me. I was just sitting there when I noticed Dave had gotten quite. I looked over at him and realized he was watching someone. I followed his glaze and realized he was watching Iris. I saw her holding James, Dan's son.

"Motherly, isn't she?" I asked him. He smiled when I said it.

"Yeah." he whispered. I smiled.

John caught my attention, out of the corner of my eye. I looked over at him. He was also watching Iris, but he had a different look in his eyes. Dave was watching her and he had a kinder look in his eyes. John's look was almost out of jealously. I was glad that she was on vacation and not near him. I was glad that he didn't know where she lived. I watched John for a few more seconds until I saw that we were starting the funeral.

I sat down next to Iris. Dave was on the other side of her. She was still holding James and watched him through the entire funeral. The funeral went well and a lot of people were there. I saw the girl that Iris had wrestled for John. She was sitting a few rows behind us on the other side of the room and I saw a bunch of John's friends. Marc was there and I knew that had to make Iris uncomfortable.

The funeral ended and we all headed to the gravesite. Iris was holding James, because he had fallen asleep. I drove us to the cemetery. The casket was lowered into the ground and we all left to go back to John's house.

We arrived and everyone changed. We were all sitting around after the funeral. We didn't know what to do. Iris was watching TV in the den with Matt, Dave, and Stephen.

"Hey, we are playing football, you want to play?" Marc asked.

"Sure." everyone said.

Iris POV

I agreed to play football. We were playing and I was really uncomfortable. I was playing on a team with Dave, Sean, Randy, and Marc. The other team was what was really bothered me. The other team was John, Stephen, Dan, and Matt. We were having fun until one play. I had the ball and was running it. Stephen went to get me and I slipped. John fell on me along with Dave and Marc. I was in pain because I was still bruised from Me and Adam's run in. The guys all moved quickly. I had more bruised. I was on the ground coughing because I had my breath knocked out of me. I slowly sat up and my side hurt so bad.

"Iris, are you, ok?" Matt asked me. I shook my head no.

"Where does it hurt?" Randy asked.

"My ribs." I said. I slowly stood up and held my side.

"Keep playing. One of them can take my place." I told them as I slowly made my way inside.

I walked in and Carol was sitting the den. She was looking at some pictures.

"Are you ok?" she asked me as I sat in a recliner.

"I will be ok." I told her.

"You think you will ever play football with them again?" she asked me. I smiled at her.

"What are you looking at?" I asked her. She held up a picture of the family.

"Are you doing ok?" I asked her.

"No, but I will be ok. I miss him, but I don't miss how he was at times." she told me.

"I understand; that is how I feel about John." I told her.

"What happened, Iris? You two seemed so happy when you were engaged." she asked me.

"He cheated on me." I stated.

"Oh. I knew something must have happened to break off the engagement. He wouldn't tell us what really happened at Christmas." she told me.

"I can see why." I told her.

"He was just really depressed and then he left early to go buy a house." she told me.

"Really, where'd he buy a house at?" I asked her.

"Oh, um, he ended up buying a house out in the desert. I think it was in Arizona." she told me.

Good! Far away from me. I thought.

"But he said he might buy a house somewhere up north, I think he said in Connecticut." she told me.

"Oh, ok." I told her.

"He said you bought a house, where at?" she asked me.

"In Connecticut." I told her.

"Oh." she said. I smiled at her.

"Free country." I said and she laughed at me.

"Are you sure you are ok?" she asked me. Because I was holding my side.

"Yeah, I think I am just going to lie down." I told her.

I left and went to lie down. I got comfortable a little while later and fell asleep.
