3rd person Pov "So it's all set.We'll drop Delphine with Marilla on Saturday in time to make the morning train to Charlottetown. I'll meet Dr. Ward while you head to The Bog to make arrangements with the minister for... the funeral, and speak with Mary's friends." Gilbert was talking to Bash and at the same time rocking Delphine "Hey.Take a nappy nap?" He put Delphine in the crib. Then he noticed sad and zoned out Bash staring at the wall. "Bash, it's alright to cry. To scream.Yell. All of it." He said "I'm fine." Bash said with teary eyes trying to look fine "Well... at least eat something-"while Gilbert tried to finish his sentence someone knocked on the door.
Lizzie's Pov I knocked on the door and waited someone to open it. Finally someone opened it. It was Gilbert. He looked pretty surprised seeing me, but I ignored that and went in. "Hey Bash" I said quietly because I saw Delphine sweetly sleeping in her crib. "Hey Lizzie" he said "How are you?" I said while putting the basket full of food that I brought with me on the table "Well... starting to heal I guess. What's all that?" he asked "I came to visit you and to make sure you eat before I go to school" I said putting plates on the table. After making the table, I kissed Delphine's forehead, hugged Bash and went to the door. "Why dont you eat with us." I heard Gilbert ask I turned to them and said "I need to meet Anne before school" I smiled and left Well its kind of hard for me to be at the same place as he is. I just wish Mary was here, she would understand me.

Gilbert's Pov
"And I need to be home right now. Doesn't feel right to be away from Bash and Delphine." I said
"And you mustn't worry about Dr. Ward.It just means he has to start doing everything he hated again. You were a great help."Winifred said smiling
"It was a great experience. And I... I learned a lot.But it's made me unsure about pursuing medicine." I started to talk about some I've been thinking lately
"Why so?" She asked
"It seems to me that... doctors are essentially... powerless. All they really do is react to illness.I want to help people,not stand by while they die.Medicine couldn't save my mother, my father...And now I've lost Mary,who was... like a sister to me.It just... seems pointless." I said a bit frowning my face
"I'm so sorry, Gilbert.I can't imagine how difficult it all must be.But I know for certain that,whatever you choose to focus your passion on next, the world will be better for it." She said after drinking her tea
"Thanks. For... listening.For your friendship.It's been really nice." I said taking a deep breath
"Well, I'm not going anywhere." She said "But you could...perhaps... visit?" I suggested smiling a bit
"And leave Mr. Bones? I'm not sure he could withstand it. You know how delicate he is." She said and we laughed "That is, if you'd even consider it..." "I could be tempted.I do love a train." She said
"That's what my father always said." I said exhaling "Well, then...how can I resist?"
