I'm crying my heart out, I've had Valentine a few days and she's dead, the monitor didn't alert me about anything.
"Remi!!!!" I yell still crying.
He climbs quickly down the ladder to me he looks at Valentine, he let's out a loud yell of pain and grief. My Valentine dead.
Leaf and few other rush in hearing the commotion, soon the wagon is filled with grieving people, some crying some emotionless with grief.
"Get out!!!" I yell it's to much all the people in the wagon it's to much.
They all scatter, I rush to Valentine and cuddle my dead child.
Remi cuddles me and I cuddle my dead Valentine.
We stay like this for over 2 hours.
We are staying in Bermount, Remi says most of his relatives are buried here so we should bury Valentine here, but I want her cremated.
We go to the funeral director at 10 am. He arranges a funeral in the city gardens.
"I want her cremated" I say.
"Certainly Ms Johnson" the funeral director says.
We choose a eco friendly box, it's literally a box.
Everyone in our gypsy hippie group which is called Trelæ writes nice messages and draws pictures on the box.
Once they are done I put Valentine and a photo of us as a family and all her belongings in with her.
The funeral service is short just like we wanted it to be, short and sweet.
We place the flowers on Valentines coffin then walk outside.
Everyone is silent with grief, I left Valiant at home with Remi's mom who didn't want to attend the funeral.
We walk back to our campsite in silence. Me and Remi hand in hand, tears streaming down my face and Remi's. I hate my stepdad, if he didn't do this to me I would of given birth and lost a baby.
