Peri had fallen asleep on the couch, her head now resting on Cameron's lap as she made little mumbling sounds every now and again; she was anything but peaceful.

Leela watched as she rested on Cameron's lap, noticing as she kept screwing her eyes tightly shut and every so often a single tear would run down her cheek.

Leela watched her daughter with worry; she missed her Mum and Dad so much but the pain it was causing Peri was unbearable for her to watch.

Suddenly Peri shot up and burst into tears; this had happened before but before it was Ste who comforted her, she tried but Peri wouldn't let her.

Peri looked at her Mum with pain written across her face, no words were needed because Leela know the reason behind her tears, her 'parents' had just died, of course she was going to be upset, she was devastated; they all were.

Leela took her daughter's hand in her own and squeezed it gently "Do you want to talk about it?" she asked her daughter but she shook her head and quickly wiped her damp eyes as if she shouldn't be crying.

"It's okay to be upset you know" Leela whispered.

Peri shrugged her shoulders before looking towards Cameron "Um..." she turned back to Leela with uncertainty "Is it okay if he stays for dinner?"

Leela gave her daughter a warm smile before looking at Cameron "Sure, if that's want you want?"

"Hmm" she said "It is" she smiled

Suddenly Peri turned around and threw herself in her Dad's arms, hugging him tightly, she then turned and hugged Leela before heading upstairs.

As she made her way upstairs she couldn't help but glance back at Leela and Cameron; her parents, maybe we could be happy again she thought to herself as she turned with a small smile on her lips and walked upstairs.

"I'm worried about her" Leela said as she looked up at Cameron.

"She seems alright to me" he said.

"Yeah" she looked at him with a frown "She just found out the people she thought were her parents weren't, then they die" Cameron just looked at her "I'm worried" she sighed "She may have made a big step in accepting us but..." Cameron pulled her to him and hugged her to his side which she gladly allowed him to do; right now she needed the comfort he had to offer.

They sat in silence for a moment before Cameron spoke "What about you?

Leela sat up and looked at him with a confused look "What about me?"

"You lost your parents too..." Cameron trailed off.

"I need to focus on Peri now, of course I miss them, they were my Mum and Dad, but I need to be strong for Peri, for our daughter"

Reaching out Cameron stroked her cheek tenderly, feeling her lean into his touch he felt something inside of him; he never stopped loving her.

They slowly pulled apart and Leela got up to go into the kitchen as she decided she needed to start making dinner.

Stopping for a moment as her eyes fell on the picture of them all; she missed her Dad the most, during this whole thing with Peri he was the one that seemed to care about her feelings too, in the end her Mum only seemed to care about Peri.

She stood at the sink chopping some vegetables as she began thinking about her parents, a tear slide down her cheek as Cameron came up behind her and put his arms around her.

"Cam" she whispered as she turned in his arms "I'm with Ziggy"

"I know, but we're a family, you need me" he told her.

Leela looked towards the stairs sadly before looking back at Cameron and resting her head on his shoulder "We both do" she mumbled.

Cameron stroked her hair soothingly as they got lost in the moment.

"The funeral's tomorrow" Leela suddenly said as she pulled away from him and went back to what she was doing.

"I'm here for you, both of you" Cameron told her as her stole a bit of carrot and put it into his mouth.

Before Leela could say anything Peri came downstairs.

"Is Ste going to be here?" she asked.

"No, he's gone out with John-Paul" Leela told her.

"He's always with him, when is he going to spend time with us" Peri asked as she looked sad.

"Hey, don't be sad, I'm here" Cameron said as he jumped in "We can have a match later if you like" he said indicating to the new games console he brought her causing her to smile a bit.

"Okay, but you know I'll win" she said with a giant grin on her face.

"You think so do you?"

"Yep" she said as her grin grew even bigger.

Leela laughed as she heard them talking before turning to Peri and asking her to lay the table.

"Just us" she told Peri as she got the mats out and began laying the table.

Once dinner was ready they sat down and ate, both Peri and Leela silently thinking about the funeral tomorrow.

So there will be another chapter which will most likely be the funeral then after that I don't know
