Sorry it took so long. I hope you enjoy and thanks to everyone who reviews!

The church wasn't packed, far from it. Some people from the lab came and a few of the neighbours but that was it. But right at the back pew a man sat accompanied by another two men. He watched as the coffin of his daughter was carried to the front of the church. The handcuffs hidden under his coat made him uncomfortable and it also made it difficult to wipe away his tears. At first, Sara sitting on the front pew didn't notice him. Kate who was sitting on Sara's lap didn't notice him either and neither did Leonard who sat to Sara's left. It was Lindsay Willows who noticed the strange man at the back, dressed all in black with two police men with him.

'Mom.' Lindsay hissed to her mother sitting next to her. 'Who's that strange man at the back?'

Catherine quickly turned around, noticing at once who he was. She slowly turned to her left, where Sara was sitting and tapped her shoulder. 'Sara. Look who turned up.'

Sara glanced around to see Bradley. After plucking up the courage she stood up and walked back to him.

'What the hell are you doing here? I never called you. I never told you to come here.'

Bradley looked up. Rage flaring in his eyes. 'The hospital called the prison. You couldn't possibly expect me not to come to my daughter's funeral!'

The two Sidle children at the front watched with fear as they saw their father. Neither wanted to think about him again nevertheless see him.

Sara sighed. Obviously not in the mood for a fight. 'You better not make a scene Brad or you are leaving.' She turned away and began to walk back to her seat at the front.

'Don't walk away from me bitch!' He stood up. Sara turned back to face him. 'If she was with me she would still be alive! I always knew you were incapable with looking after something. It wasn't a huge surprise when I found out you killed her.'

'I never killed her Bradley. It was an accident.' She whispered back, her voice filled with guilt and eyes filling with tears.

'Whatever Sara. I'm having my lawyer fight to get Kate and Leonard taken away from you now too. I don't care if they go into foster care; I want them away from you!'

'I meant it Bradley. Shut up or you can just drag your ass back to prison. I'll put up a good fight to keep them. Who do you think the court will believe? A murderer who abused his kids or me? Now sit down and shut up.'

Slowly Bradley sat down again. 'I may be in prison but I'm still going to try Sara.'

The service began a few minutes later. Both Sara and Bradley had calmed down a lot since the argument but the fear still rested in the pit of Sara's stomach. Losing Jessica was very difficult, but she had Kate and Leonard to keep her going. If they got taken away she didn't know what she would do.

Sara wanted to say a few words, but she was too upset to even think of anything. Leonard took her place at the front of the church. Sara watched proudly as the boy dressed smartly in a black suit took out a neatly folded piece of paper and stood up to read it.

'My love for you is like the wind. You can't see it, but you can feel it.' He took a deep breath and continued with his speech. A few minutes later he finished. Ending with 'Life sometimes plays a cruel joke, and we need to live with it.' As the young boy sat down again at his place, Sara wiped away a few tears.

Once the ceremony was over the mourners made their way to the cemetery not far from the church. Kate and Leonard both tightly grasped hold of Sara's hands as they watched the tiny coffin get lowered into the ground. Catherine watched Sara fight back the tears that had threatened to fall for the entire service. Everyone who was there held a single white rose in their hands which they then dropped on top of the tiny coffin once it was in the ground.

Slowly the crowd dispersed away, leaving only a handful of people standing there. Catherine who held Lindsay's hand and Sara who was holding onto Leonard and Kate stood staring at the mesmerising white roses now on top of the coffin. It was then the tears did flow from Sara's eyes. Her crying made Kate and Leonard start too and Catherine just watched, not knowing what to do.

Well that's the end of chapter 10. Sorry I haven't updated in so long.. again! I guess I must just thank everyone for reading still. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I have never been to a funeral so I wasn't quite sure what exactly happens. I hope it was kind of believable. So please review, as I love to hear your feedback. The romance should start in the next chapter.
