Paying Our Respects

It was the morning of my Mother's funeral, I knew from the moment I woke up that today would be rough for me.

Ash: "Are you gonna be okay?" He said, grabbing his only blazer.

"I have to be.." I shrugged with watery eyes.

Ash: "Not always, especially at a time like this."

"I know but I have to try my best to be stable for Layla. I'm the only family she has.."

Ash: "It's okay, I understand." He kissed my forehead and fixed the collar of his shirt.

Fez: "Yall ready?" He asked in a soft voice.

Grace & Ash: "Yup." I picked up Layla, who was wearing a little black dress and black flats.

The 3 of us walked out to the car, I got in the back and strapped Layla into her carseat.

Fez: "Did you get her strapped in?" Fez asked, looking at me through the mirror.

I fastened one last buckle before replying. "Yeah."

With that, he started driving. The car ride was silent, but not an awkward silence. We arrived at the funeral home about 15 minutes later and Fez parked. We all got out and I took Layla out of the carseat. We got to the doors and I could see everyone sitting in chairs in front of the casket. Ash noticed my eyes watering, he held my free hand while rubbing the top of my hand with his thumb. With that, we walked in and sat in the 3 empty seats in the front row. The pastor talked for about an hour, then everyone got in a line to say their goodbyes. Now it was my turn. I took a big deep breath and tears started to roll down my face.

Ash: "Hey, it's okay. Take your time, I'll take Layla if you want." I nodded while I handed my sleeping sister to Ash. I just stood there, looking down at my Mom. I was having a hard time accepting it. I had started to visibly cry, Maddy and Ash stood on either of my sides to comfort me.

Maddy: "I'm gonna get her a tissue and water." Maddy whispered to Ash, he nodded as she walked off.

"I wanna sit down now.."

With that, Ash and I sat back diwn in our seats. Maddy came back with a boytle of water and a tissue, she crouched down in front of me giving me both of the items. I wiped my face with the tissue and crumpled it in my hand before taking a sip of the cold water.

"Thank you, Mads." I said, pulling her into a hug.

Maddy: "Of course, I'm here for you always." She hugged back.

After the funeral

The funeral was over, most of us stayed a little longer to talk and hang out. Everyone started crowding me. Kat, Maddy, Cassie, Lexi.

Kat: "Oh, you poor thing I'm so sorry this happened." She said, hugly me very tightly, probably a bit too tightly.

"Thanks, Kat." I said, breathlessly. Then I gave everyone else a hug and everyone went home. Finally, I hated almost every second of that. As soon as we got back to Fez and Ash's, I went straight to Ashtray's room. I changed into some shorts and a hoodie and cutled up in his bed, starting to cry.

Ash's POV:

Fez: "I hope she's okay."

Ash: "Of course she's not, she keeps saying she is but I know it's a lie. She doesn't want people to know that though."

Fez: "Should we like..check on her?"

Ash: "No, let her have some time to herself. I'm gonna look after Layla for her."

Fez: "You and a baby? Nah, not by yoself."

Ash: "What, why?"

Fez: "Uh, because you're you. You not good wit babies."

Ash: "I have looked after Layla on my own before. She's perfectly fine."

Fez: "Yeah sure. Good luck with makin a bottle."

Ash: "I know how to make a bottle Fez."

Fez: "Okay, so she has a 4 ounce bottle. How many scoops you use?"

Ash: "Wha- SCOOPS OF WHAT?"

Fez: "Baby formula."

Ash: "Like 3."

Fez: "Hell naw! 2. Scoops." He said putting 2 fingers up.

Ash: "Thanks for the information you dick, now I do know how to make it."

Fez: "Did you know to use warm water?"

I just flipped him off and he laughed.

Ash: "Since you know everything, why don't you do it yourself?"

Fez: "Nah, I'm good."

Ash: "Then shut the fuck up."

He laughed again.
