It was Friday night and everyone had gathered at Kaitlyn's place. She had prepared another exquisite meal for her friends and family. Shannon was in town for a visit so he and Crystal were there along with Gil, Bella, Al, Elyssa, Matt, and his new girlfriend Ashley, and of course Jeff. Kaitlyn and Ashley were getting to know each other while everyone else stuffed their faces with Barbeque Ribs, Mashed Potatoes, Green beans, and homemade sweet cornbread.

"Ashley, Matt tells me that you were a model before you turned to wrestling." Kaitlyn said.

"Yes, I was."

"How does one go from modeling to wrestling?" Kaitlyn laughed.

"It was kind of a irrational decision on my part. When I heard about the Diva Search my friends and I sighend up just goofying off and when I got through the first audition I was still kind of just seeing how far I could make it and when I won I figured I might as well at least try to be good at it." Ashley joked causing everyone to laugh.

"Yeah well I've seen a few of your matches, you're really good."

"Thank you." Ashley beamed. "I just can't wait to get cleared so I can get back in the ring."

"Yeah I heard that you got traded to Smackdown, now you get to be with Matt all the time I'm sure that makes you both very happy."

"Hell yeah! I get to travel with my girl now. " Matt smiled.

"I've been trying to convince Crystal to travel with me more but she ain't tryng to hear that." Shannon joked.

"Honey, I do have a job of my own, you know. I can't just run behind you now can I?" Crystal retorted as she swatted Shannon playfully on the arm.

"You guys are really lucky to have each other." Kaitlyn said to both Matt and Ashley and Shannon and Crystal.

"Yeah and Jeff is lucky to have you, he hasn't been this happy in a long time." Matt said.

"I think I'm the lucky one." Kaitlyn said placing her hand on top of Jeff's.

Just as Kaitlyn was cutting the Chocolate Cheescake the phone began to ring.

"Want me to get it Kaitlyn?" Elyssa asked.

"Yeah E, thanks." Kaitlyn smiled at her as she jumped up from her chair to grab the phone.

"Ryan residence." Elyssa said answering Kaitlyn's phone. "Yes, she's here. May I ask who's calling?"

"Elyssa tell who ever it is that we're having dinner and to call back later." Kaitlyn told Elyssa.

"I think you might want to take this Kaitlyn." Elyssa told her.

"Who is it E?" Kaitlyn asked getting up from the table.

"She say's her name is Geneva Lewis."

"Oh, I'll take it in the other room." Kaitlyn said walking into the den. "Hang up now E." Kaitlyn called to Elyssa.

"Kaitlyn I didn't mean to bother you, but I wanted you to know that Elliott passed away this morning." Geneva said and Kaitlyn could hear in her voice that she was holding back tears.

"I'm sorry Geneva."

"The funeral is going to be Sunday, I was hoping that you'd come..."

"Oh Geneva I don't know."

"I know it's a lot to ask of you yet again, but I have no one else. Elliott had no family left and none of my sisters can make the service, I don't want to go through this alone."

"I'll think about it." Kailtyn sighed.

"Thank you, I'm sorry I disturbed your family dinner. I'll let you go now." Geneva said.

"I'll call you tomorrow and let you know what I've decided."

"Alright, goodbye Kaitlyn." Geneva said before hanging up.

"Kaitlyn is everything alright?" Bella asked when she re-entered the dining room."

"Elliott died this morning." Kaitlyn said sitting down. "You know I thought that when I finally got the call that he was gone that I'd be relieved, but I'm not relieved at all. Geneva has asked me to attend the funeral."

"Are you going to go?" Jeff asked.

"I don't know, she doesn't have anyone else and no one should have to attend a loved ones funeral alone."

"By the way you're talking Katy, I think you do know what you're going to do." Bella said.

"I'll go with you Kaitlyn, I mean if you want me too and If Jeff say's it's okay." Elyssa said.

"I guess that if you want to go E, It's fine with me." Jeff said.

"So...Kaitlyn do you want me to go with you?"

"Sure E, it'd be nice to have company on the drive there."

"Maybe I'll tag along myself that way you'll have double moral support." Jeff said.

"That'd be nice, now enough talk about funerals."

"I know really, let's enjoy this delicious cheesecake that Kaitlyn has made for us." Matt said.

"You look really pretty Kaitlyn." Elyssa said as Kaitlyn walked downstairs in a silky black dress that stopped at her knees.

"Thanks E. Where's Jeff?" Kaitlyn asked putting her lipgloss and cell phone in her matching black pocketbook.

"He's outside on the phone."

"Oh, ok well I think we'd better get going. I don't want to be late." Kaitlyn said grabbing Elyssa's hand and walking outside.

"Wow, you look magnificent." Jeff said.

"Thank-you. Ready to go?"

"Sure am beautiful, let's go." Jeff said as they walked to Kaitlyn's car.

"Want me to drive?" Jeff asked.

"Would you?"

"Sure mamacita hand me the keys."

You remember the way?"

"Yeah." Jeff said ashe pulled out of Kaitlyn's driveway.

"Kaitlyn thank you for coming." Geneva said as Kaitlyn bent down to hug the grieving woman.

"You don't have to thank me Geneva."

"Yes I do. You owe me nothing, but you came here anyway and for that I have to thank you." Geneva said as the tears began to take over. "Jeff, it's good to see you again."

"Mrs. Lewis I'm truly sorry for your loss."

"Thank you and please call me Geneva."

"I'm sorry that your husband died." Elyssa said speaking for the first time.

"Thank you dear."

"Geneva this is Jeff's little sister Elyssa, Elyssa this is Geneva Lewis."

"It's really nice to meet you." Elyssa said extending her hand to Geneva.

"What manners you have there. It's really nice to meet you as well Elyssa."

"Mrs. Lewis, we're ready to start as soon as everyone arrives." The Minister informed her.

"This is everyone Reverend Brewster, we can start now." Geneva said taking her seat on the front row.

"Geneva we're going to sit a few rows back." Kaitlyn told her.

"There is plenty of room on this pew, you three sit here with me, please." Geneva pleaded.

"Ok." Kaitlyn caved and took a seat beside Geneva.

The service was short but nice. Kaitlyn even felt herself get emotional as Geneva gave Elliott's Euolgy. Jeff noticed the tears that filled Kaitlyn's eyes and he wrapped his arms around her ensuring her that it was okay to cry, but Kaitlyn never let one tear fall. After the service, out of pure politness, Kaitlyn agreed to go back to Geneva's.

"Would anyone like anything to drink?" Geneva asked.

"No thank you Geneva, we really can't stay that long." Kaitlyn answered.

"I understand. Kaitlyn before you leave I thought you'd want to know that the reading of the will will be Thursday here at the house. As you already know, you are in both My and Elliott's will..."

"What time is the reading?" Kaitlyn sighed.

"One pm."

"I'll be here."

"I'm glad." Geneva smiled.

"Look Geneva I've been debating all day about something."

"Really? What?"

"I'm planning a big birthday dinner for my coach and friend, Bella. It's in two weeks at my place and I was wondering if you'd like to come."

"Kaitlyn you don't have to invite me."

"I know I don't, but I want to. So, will you come?"

"Yes, I'd be delighted." Geneva smiled.

"Good. I'll see you Thursday at the reading." Kaitlyn stood and Jeff and Elyssa followed.

"Mrs. Lew... Geneva it was nice seeing you again. I'm just sorry they were under these circumstances." Jeff said.

"Mrs. Geneva, would it be okay if I came with Kaitlyn Thursday? I won't cause no trouble."

"You are more than welcome to come my dear."

"Thanks!" Elyssa beamed. "Well Bye Mrs. Geneva." Elyssa said following Jeff out the door.

"Thank you again for coming today." Geneva said hugging Kaitlyn.

Kaitlyn stiffiend the moment Geneva touched her but she eased up and actually found her arms wrapped around Geneva returning the hug. "I really am sorry about Elliott." Kaitlyn said as the hug ended.

"I know you are." Geneva said as Kaitlyn walked out the door.
