It had been nearly three days since Kerry's death and for the time being Kate was looking after Bethany until after the funeral.

"Bridget, Rory, are you ready yet," Shouted Kate from the bottom of the stairs. Nobody answered her but she assumed they heard. This was it, the day of the funeral nobody wanted to go, it would be to hard to sit there and hear all the wonderful things about such a loving daughter, sister and mother. Ten minutes later both Rory and Bridget came into the living room. Neither of them spoke they just sat there. Kate new not to bother them they still hadn't got over Kerry's death and neither had she.

"Well come on," Kate said trying to sound calm, "The cars here to take us."

They stood up and made there way to the car. The journey seemed to take forever and the silence was awful.

"Mum," whispered Bridget.

"Yes."

"I really miss her, it doesn't seem that long ago that I said I hated her or that we hugged each other."

"I know we all miss her."

"Mum."

"Yes Rory."

"Can I hold Bethany for a bit her eyes remind me of Kerry so much."

"Of course," smile Kate and she passed Bethany over to his uncle.

Once everyone was at the church and in his or her seats the ceremony began. It didn't seem that long ago to Kate that they had been here to say good-bye to Paul.

"Kate would you like to say a few words."

Kate stood up and walked towards the alter. She looked around the room at all the faces some trying to smile some expressionless and others crying. She looked down at her kids and saw the mascara that had run down Bridget's face and the red circles around Rory's eyes.

"It wasn't long ago that most of us were here for another member of are family's funeral, Paul Hennessey and this funeral hurts just as much. Kerry was a smart, clever, talented girl in he's and a lot of other peoples eyes, but deep down there was something more to her that not many people could see, but Paul new it was there. Yes under all that sarcasm and grumpiness there was a happy, cheerful girl that loved. She loved so many people even when they broke her heart. All I can say is that she will be missed so much and that no one will ever be able to replace my little care bear," Kate finished. She walked carefully back into her seat and started to let herself cry, it was now clearer than ever that she had lost one of her greatest daughters in the world.

"Mum that was really good, Kerry wouldn't of liked it though she would of probably was laughing at you," Bridget smiled."

Bridget, Rory and Kate stood there laughing and talking about the things Kerry used to do when Kyle walked over.

"Hi."

"Kyle."

"Great speech, Kerry would of laughed at it though."

"Yea that's what I was just saying," replied Bridget.

Kate new it was time to give Bethany over to Kyle but she couldn't help looking at her cheeky little smile and wishing she could have her forever. She took the baby off Rory and handed her over to Kyle.

"Take care of her, and don't forget to tell her about her mother," Cried Kate.

Bridget, Rory and Kate said there Good-byes to Bethany hoping that Kyle would bring her to see them someday, and feeling like they had lost so much in a week walked back to the car trying to comfort each other. Kyle looked down at the baby he held and back at the tree walking of and he too turned around and left the church. Of course he would tell her about her mother, after all she was an angel.
