Today marks 6 months since we lose William. It's been the most hardest six months ever for me and Emma but we've both been strong together. Yeah we're still struggling but we've had each other to help each other and everyone's been so supportive and helpful. Me and Emma decided we're gonna release blue balloons in the garden this afternoon, take some flowers to his grave then me, Emma, Brooke and Jake are gonna have dinner together. Mia is being looked after by my mom tonight she's gonna have her for a few days. Emma's been up all morning I know she's trying to take her mind of today.

Morning Em, how you doing. Good morning yeah am fine I was going to go pick up the balloons for William and pick some flowers from the flower shop. Do you want me to come with you. Yeah I can if you want to. I grab my phone and wallet heading out the to the balloons shop.

In the car: i though I'd pick up some beers and wine for Brooke's tonight. Yeah that's will be nice. So how many balloons we gonna get. I thought about getting Six balloons as it's been Six months, am gonna get blue ones Three light blue and Three dark blue ones. Yeah that's sounds nice, the flower shop near ours does blue flowers if you want to get them ones. Yeah I saw them was gonna get them for his grave.

We go to the balloons shop and ask for Six blue balloons then we head to Starbucks before we go to target. We arrive at target we need to do a bit of a grocery shop, Emma grabs a trolly we head in. We get all our foods and grab some non alcoholic beer and some white wine for tonight then go to the flower shop. Emma goes in a getting two sets of flowers one blue and one white.

There really nice for his grave Em, I know well the colours of his grave is blue and white so I thought they would go. What time shall we go to his grave at. I thought we could go on the way to Brooke she said we could come around 3 and it's nearly 1 now. Yeah sounds good to me. We get home and sort the shopping out but I sit Emma down.

Em sit down for a minute. Is everything ok Will. Yeah everything fine I just want to speak to you and ask how you are. You've just been acting weird today I mean I know today is 6 months since William but you've acting so busy that you don't seem yourself. I will admit I want to break down in tears but I need to be strong for you. Oh Em come here, just cry it's fine just break down am not going to mind am the exact same I want to break down but silly what to stay strong for you. I just I just want our boy back, I want to go back to when we found if we were pregnant with him, I mean it was my job to take care of him inside me and I fail to do that. I just hate that I didn't protect him. Emma look at me, don't you dare blame yourself for Williams death that was not your fault at all. You did not cause his death, you looked after him so good when he was growing inside you, you protected him so much. Theses things happen, it happens to everyone so don't you dare be blaming yourself for his death because it wasn't you fault. Am sorry Will, I know I shouldn't blame myself but I will always. Listen Emma you have nothing to be sorry about. I love you Emma. And I love you.

After our sit down we decided to head to the William grave, I can see Emma has tears falling down her face so I grab her hand to comfort her. We arrive heading to his grave, we did up his grave last month just sorted it out because we had a horrible wind storm and his grave went all dirty and messy.

Am so glad his grave doesn't looks messy anymore. Yeah I am too, we did a good job sorting it out, I was thinking of getting a little Christmas tree for its and I've seen this personalised burble am gonna get for him and our tree. That's sounds nice, now where shall we put his flowers. Let's do some in the vase and the rest on this headstone. Yeah that sounds good.

I miss you son, I miss you more then anything. I know your watching down on us I can feel it, when am asleep and awake. Thank you for making me a dad again even if I only got to hold you for a few day it was still amazing known that I have you as my son. Am so proud of you Will, your amazing you know that amazing. Come here thank you for being here. Oh Emma am so proud of you, I love you so much. (Emma and Will share a kiss). Right William I'll come and see you next week, I love you so much son thank you for making my a mummy again. (Emma and Will kiss his headstone).

They head to Brooke and Jake, on the drive they both talk about William they share some tears. As they arrive Will tells Emma how proud he is of her and they go in the house.

Aww they all looks like nice going up to him. Guys me and Jake are so probably of how you've both become. We know it's been tough for you both put you've both got one with it. Thank you so much guys we love you both.

Back in the house: Listen why don't we all go New York for the night in a couple of weeks. Omg yes I love New York, Will can we. Yeah that's sounds good to me. Well I thought it would be nice to get away for a few nights we all need a change of scenery and we all love New York. Let's book it now. I thought we could go round the shops, do a bit of see sightings and have a few cocktails too. That sounds like the perfect time ever. Well let's get it booked.

A couple hours later: It's around Eleven thirty I can feel my eyes feel tired, Brooke fell asleep on Jake an hour ago watching the film. Jake is it ok if we go Emma is really tired. Yeah of course man, I was gonna take Brooke up to bed.
