Disclaimer: The first piece I thought of and based on this chapter was a piece called 'Darcy's letter' from Pride and Prejudice written by Dario Marienelli, but I also slipped in the idea of a piece called 'The Letter that Never Came' from Lemony Snicket's 'A Series of Unfortunate Events'. This led to Lucille's letter which is more of a hologram. Both are beautiful pieces :) Warning of talk of attempted suicide, but no action.

Jeff landed and Ruth came out to meet him, she kissed her son on his cheek and Jeff handed her some of Grant's belongings.

"Thank you, Jefferson. Did you find any of Lucy's belongings?"

Jeff nodded. "A couple of things, but this," he held up the compact, "is the most valuable."

"Her mirror compact?"

"The hologram communicator. I'm going to check it out, she may have left a message or something."

Ruth laid a hand on Jeff's shoulder, "thank you for retrieving these, it makes the pain a little less of a weight."

"I knew it had to be done."

Meanwhile, Scott was having a hard time with his brother who had climbed up onto his balcony railing.

"Virgil, please get off there?"

"Come any closer Scott, and I'll jump!"

Scott's eyes widened in shock, "don't do this Virgil, come back to me."

"What you said makes complete sense. There was only one pianist in this family, and now she's gone, I might as well join her," Virgil's voice cracked slightly and Scott knew he was getting through.

"That's not true, Virg," Scott stepped closer.

"Yes it is, I will never be as good as her, nor will I be able to play with her ever again! There's no point in living."

Tears came to Scott's eyes, "there's every point Virgil, you can carry on her talent so that it lives on as a legacy to our mother. We love hearing you play."

Virgil turned his head and looked at his brother tearfully, "save me, Scott." He sobbed and Scott ran forward taking his brother's hand and helping Virgil down, he pulled his brother into a tight hug and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't ever do that again Virgil, I thought you were going to kill yourself!" Scott cried stroking the back of Virgil's head as his brother sobbed onto his shoulder.

"I'm sorry Scott."

"Shh it's okay, you just scared me. I'm sorry about what I said, you can play whenever you want," Scott kissed Virgil's cheek lightly then heard Jeff call them. "Come on, Dad's calling. He must've returned from the crash."

Virgil sighed and pulled away from his brother, "do I look like I've been crying?"

"Yes, but given the circumstances, you won't be judged today," Scott smiled and wrapped his arm around Virgil's shoulder.

"Don't tell them about this."

"Never."

The two eldest joined the others in the lounge and Jeff smiled.

"I've found something your mother left, she's left one for each of you," he set up the hologram and their mother's image appeared sitting in her seat on the plane. "She recorded this before the crash."

"My darlings, I have a feeling that when you see this I will not be alive, we are losing height as I speak so I will make this as quick as I can. Scott, I want you to be brave and look after your brothers when I am gone, they will need you more than ever. I want you to know that whatever you decide to do with your life, I am fully supporting it and will be proud. I love you, angel. Virgil, don't let your brothers tease you about being musical and artistic, you get it from me and I couldn't be prouder. Good luck in your studies and be brave. Promise me you won't give up the piano? I can see you as a great concert pianist if that opportunity is ever presented to you. I love you, my gorgeous piano man. John, my little star, you have more confidence than you think, and I want you to know that I have never thought of you as being shy, your brothers will protect you always and I will always be with you, in here," she pointed to her heart. "You are crying now, but I want you to hold your chin up and don't worry angel, Mummy loves you. Gordon my mischievous monkey, if you keep pranking others, make sure they're nice pranks, okay sweetie? I love you, and I want you to know that whatever you want to do in the future, I am right behind you."

"Swim!" Gordon grinned and Jeff couldn't help but allow his tears to fall as his son thought his mother could hear him.

"Alan my baby, you have a long way before you reach your brother's ages so for now I want you to have all the fun you can have in the world, listen to your brothers but don't grieve over me, I'll always be looking down on you from heaven. Be safe my angels, Mummy loves all of you."

The hologram disappeared and the boys sighed, their mother had gone for good and there was no way of getting her back, none of them slept well that night and as Jeff found out in the morning. The younger four had gathered in Scott's room forming a pile on his bed. Scott was trapped in the middle with Gordon and Virgil on each side of him, John was lying awkwardly on Scott's chest and Alan had curled himself into a ball in between John's legs.

Author notes; That's the sad one done, now what? :) Please rr xx thank you.
