Chapter Twelve: Trouble Keeps Coming

Everyone was gathered in the living room. Sara's funeral started in a few minutes so everyone was just waiting for the right time to leave. Sam was leaning against Katie while Julian was fixing his tie. Brooke, Kadyn and Peyton were sitting on the couch enjoying the silence.

A knock on the door made everyone turn towards it.

"I'll get it," Julian says as he places his tie into place.

Julian opens the door and is surprised by who is standing behind it.

"Mom, dad, what are you doing here?"

Paul Norris and Sylvia Baker stepped through the door.

"Julian, the mother of your daughter just died. We needed to be here for our family."

Sylvia spots Sam leaning against the window and rushes over to her.

"My baby, oh come here."

Sam snuggles into her grandmother's arms as Julian glances at his father. He was truly surprised to see him here considering he was never around.

"Dad, are you okay?" Julian asks as he sees Paul glance at his daughter. He could have sworn he saw tears start to form.

"I'm fine, we should get going."

Brooke walks over to Julian really unsure of herself.

"Those are your parents?"

"Yeah, I'll introduce you after."

It was a small gathering at the gravesite. Sara had never socialized much in her life. Her life had only really consisted of her daughter. When news off her death hit, not many people knew of her which caused the small turnout. What surprised Kadyn the most was the older couple standing beyond the trees. She hadn't heard from them in years and she knew the reason why they were there wasn't going to be a good one. Kadyn held onto her daughter's hand tighter.

"Unto Almighty God we command the soul of our sister, Sara departed and we commit her body to the ground."

Julian watched the faces of his family members change drastically. He caught Kadyn's eye and she moved her head to the side. Julian spotted the two figures by the trees and he sighs. Brooke looks at him, but he just brings her closer to him.

"Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure of certain hope of the Resurrection unto eternal life, through our Lord Jesus Christ."

Sam felt Peyton sniffle beside her and she leaned closer to her. She knew her father would be fine. He had Brooke, but Peyton had come for her and she enjoyed it. The comfort she received with Peyton by her side was enough to get her through this.

"At whose coming in glorious majesty to judge the world, the earth and the sea shall give up their dead; and the corruptible bodies of those who sleep in him shall be changed, and made like unto his own glorious body; according to the mighty working whereby he is able to subdue all things unto himself."

Sam wipes her eyes and she feels Peyton tighten her hold on her.

"The Lord be with you."

"And with thy spirit," Sam whispers before throwing a handful of dirt onto the casket.

Alexander and Rebecca Bryce thought they had raised their kids' right. They gave them Christian values in hopes that they would grow up with the values instilled into them. All of that had changed the moment that their youngest told them she was pregnant. It all was thrown out the window. Not only had Sara had pre-marital sex, but she was expecting out of wedlock. The moment that abortion was mentioned was the moment they had lost their youngest forever.

They had lost Kadyn in the same right because Sara and Kadyn had always been close.

Now here they were many years later at their youngest funeral.

It wasn't hard to spot their oldest standing next to their granddaughter that they had never met. It was easy to spot Julian with his arm around some other girl. They also knew the exact moment they spotted their child's daughter.

It was time to take control of the situation.

"Mom, dad this is my fiancée Brooke, Brooke this is Sylvia and Paul."

Brooke hugs Sylvia and nods her head at Paul.

"The timing for this sucks, but I just want you to know that I'm sorry for the loss."

"Did you know Sara?"

"Briefly, she and Sam had a wonderful relationship."

Sylvia smiles sadly.

"Yes, they did. Her life was taken too early."

Brooke, Julian and Sylvia watches as Paul makes his way over to Sam.

"He feels like he failed."

Julian looked at his mother in confusion.

"What are you talking about?"

"He feels like Sam should have at least had a complete set of grandparent's in her life. With Sara's family not caring at all, damn them, he realized that Sam never had a grandpa, a role in which he should have played."

"Mom, I understand all of that."

"I don't think you do."

-WLOM-

Sam was looking out the window in thought when she felt someone stand next to her. She turned her head and saw Paul standing next to her.

"I'm sorry."

Sam smiles slightly.

"I know, but thanks for saying it Paul."

"Samantha, I know I haven't been a huge part in your life. We've only seen each other on holidays, but I want you to know that I'm here for you. I wasn't always there for my son when he needed me, but I want you to know that you have me here and everyone else as well."

Sam turns to Paul and nods her head.

"It means a lot to hear you say that, but don't say it if you don't mean it. I just lost my mom and I'm moving across the damn country. I can't lose everything else."

"You won't have to."

"I wouldn't be too sure about that," a deep voice says from behind them.

Sam and Paul turn around. Sam is confused, but Paul looks angry.

"Who the hell are you?"

"We're your grandparents."
