The film finished and Edward saw that Serena had fallen asleep, "Serena," Edward shook her, "Serena."
"Uh what?" Serena woke up, "Oh I missed the film," Serena said disappointedly.
"Has our 'morning exercises' made you tired?" Edward asked cheekily.
"No I'm just tired from the long night," Serena rested her head back on Edward's chest she felt his arm wrap around her, "I think it's just the shock."
"I know," Edward kissed her head, "It's been a shock to me too," Edward turned the television back to the channels, "But we've done all we can."
"What if he doesn't stop drinking?" Serena asked she sounded worried, "What if he just doesn't get back in the saddle and… oh I don't know."
"Don't do this to yourself Serena," Edward scolded her gently so he wouldn't upset her, "It's not good for you."
"I know but I can't help but not worry about him," Serena sighed heavily, "Aren't you worried?" Serena asked she was wondering why Edward didn't seem so worried.
"Of course I'm worried but I'm trying not to stress myself out about it," Edward felt Serena tense up, "What's wrong Serena?"
Serena sat up and sat forward, "I'm just thinking," she placed her elbows on her thighs and then leant her chin on her hands, "About life…it can be taken away just like e.g. my dad."
Edward moved closer into her and put his arm around her, "That's just life…it's cruel but it happens."
"Exactly people like us we see lives either be saved or sadly die every day and yet…we take ours for granted," Serena sighed heavily again, "We don't think twice that one day we may not come home because we've been killed or we've been injured badly."
"What has bought this on?" Edward asked concerned he tucked some hair behind her right ear, "Hey what's made you think this?"
"Like I said we take life for granted… my dad never had a chance to say goodbye because just like that," Serena clicked her fingers, "It was whipped away from him…I could've lost my mother, our daughter got Arterial Fibrillation from drugs and she nearly died do you know how that felt for me? And then… and then we find out that a colleague who we respected and who I saw as a friend has died," Serena felt her eyes watering up why had Jenna's death affected her so badly, "And yet we sit here take life for granted," her barriers were breaking she could feel herself about to break down, "We're sitting here now talking whilst we could be with Eleanor helping her shop but no we've decided to have some time to ourselves it's just," she was stopped by Edward grabbing her hands.
"Let it out Serena," Edward ordered carefully, "I can see you're about to break… just let it out."
Without a second thought she let her final defences down, they crashed down like a landslide tears streaming down her face she felt Edward's protective embrace around her, "I'm sorry."
"Jenna was special to both of us," Edward rubbed her back, "It's no wonder you're feeling a little…upset."
Eleanor walked through the door to the scene, "Mum are you OK?" she dropped her bags and ran over, "What happened?"
"We got talking about Jenna and it just got a bit much," Edward explained though he had lied partially, "She'll be OK."
"I spoke with Ava done the phone…she said to give you her love and that she'll be fine," Eleanor said hearing that made Serena nearly cry again but she composed herself and dried her eyes.
"Sorry," she said sounding ashamed, "How stupid of me."
"Don't be silly," Edward and Eleanor said at the same time, "We all knew Jenna was your best friend," Eleanor said.
"Some friend I turned out to be though," Serena sat forward, "It's been a long few days."
"Oh Ava's also added some photos onto Facebook I think you might want see," Eleanor pulled out her latest iPhone the gold iPhone 5s, she clicked onto the Facebook app and then clicked onto an album named: Memories Are Made To Treasure, "Apparently she found a bunch of photos of when me and her were little," she handed the phone to Serena.
"I remember these," Serena said smiling, "You two spent near enough everyday together…"
"That one's cute," Edward pointed to the current photo, it showed Eleanor and Ava Eleanor looked about two and Ava looked about four both grinning at the camera.
"Yeah look at your eyes there," Serena observed, "Defiantly your father's eyes."
"Well obviously yours are brown mine are blue," Eleanor said sarcastically she then took the phone back, "Ava wants me to meet up with her before I go to Uni."
"Oh really where?" Serena asked.
"Well she wants to take me out because she hasn't had the chance to yet," Eleanor explained, "And then she just wants us to spend some quality sister time together…obviously we're not sisters but we're close enough…oh do you two want to see some of the stuff I brought?" Eleanor asked and both her parents nodded she heaved in about five great big bags, "Murder walking around…but I had Gabby come help me."
"What on earth did you go and buy half the store?" Edward asked jokingly, "Even I didn't take this much stuff to Harvard."
"That's because you brought half of your junk in the States," Serena looked through the IKEA bag, "And I'm guessing the spare bedroom will soon become your luggage pit?"
"Uh-huh," Eleanor nodded grinning, "I saw this and thought it was so cute," she held up a pillow pet, "Isn't he cute? I called him China…as giant Pandas come from China."
They spent about an hour going through bags of what Serena called 'pointless junk' and 'bare necessities'.
"So? Do you think I'm all prepared?" Eleanor asked grinning, "Because Gabby thinks I am and so do I."
"Ellie you're going to Edinburgh not a Foreign country," Serena scolded lightly, "But you got everything you needed so well done."
"Oh that reminds me," Eleanor picked up the leaflet, "Something about I read it as shlidah."
"Kay-Lee," Serena corrected and took the leaflet.
"Really? It looks nothing like Kay-Lee," Eleanor frowned confused, "Anyway since Gabby's going to the same Uni as me apparently she has relatives somewhere up in the Highlands and they've suggest she leans Kay-Lee so she's making me join the classes with her."
"Oh you'll like them," Serena said knowingly, "Just don't dance it drunk I know you can't handle your drink well…anyway what are you planning to do with your Psychology degree?"
"Idon'tknow," Eleanor said through a mumble and shrugged her shoulders, "It just seems interesting."
"Yes well don't try any of your tricks on me or your father," Serena warned Eleanor, "Because you've tried it before."
"And it clearly worked," she wriggled her eyebrows, "I knew you two would get back together."
"As did everyone at Holby," Serena looked through the course Eleanor was taking, "Hey maybe we'll have another Doctor Campbell."
"Like I said I don't know what I want to do," Eleanor stretched, "It just seems interesting…though Doctor does sound important."
"Doctor Eleanor Campbell yeah I like that," Edward laughed, "Don't worry no pressure… not everyone can handle the status."
"I may end up wanting to do something else yet," Eleanor said whilst scrolling through her phone, "I just like the idea of Psychology."
"Yeah well just do what you want to do," Serena stood up and stretched, "What's the time?"
"About twelve," Edward checked his watch, "Lunch time."
"Gabby and me picked up a Maccy Ds on the way home," Eleanor stood up too, "So I'm not really that hungry."
"And you," Serena pointed to Edward angrily, "Are not going near that kitchen if my life depends on it."
Edward playfully glared and sat back on the sofa, "Not my fault."
"Was you got yourself distracted… when I'm not in the kitchen Ellie don't let him in there I don't fancy stitching him again," Serena tapped her daughter on the shoulder.
"Will do," Eleanor then went to sit down, "It's only twelve and I'm tired already."
"Wait until you're my age…then you'll know what tired is," Edward joked.
"I've still got a long way to go dad," Eleanor grinned cheekily, "Before I turn into an old fart like you."
"You cheeky mare," Edward said laughing he then tickled Eleanor just like he did when she was a baby before he left, "That'll teach you to insult me."
"I…can't….breathe," Eleanor said through laughter, "Stoop."
Serena watched through the kitchen at how they were and smiled, it was sweet and cute something she always liked seeing was her daughter smile.
