Denial of Death ( Piggy Human! AU )

First, the Children, Now, The Fathers?!

It had been almost two months since the death Katalia and Devon. The parents and stepparents were affected but Drake was most affected. The reason for that is because when Devon was four, he almost drowned and died. Drake promised to protect his son and stepdaughter... and he felt like he failed. After the day of the funeral, Drake had bloodshot eyes from crying so much. Remembering who killed his children, all that anger started boiling his blood and then Drake threw a plate on the floor while he yelled for a brief 3 seconds. He started crying and crying non-stop. Konnor came up to him and asked him why he did that.

Drake: I..... I'm sorry!! I really am!!! I just - gasp - wish we d-d... d-didn't have to lose our babies!!!

Konnor: Look! I know how you feel but we can't do anything about it right now. It wasn't even your fault.

Drake: Yes it wa-has!!! I could've stopped her!!

Konnor: And if you did, we all would've lost you! Would you like me to call the others? We're planning a little something for the kids. I mean, we could've done it at the funeral but, they're already done rehearsing.

Drake: If it makes me feel better... sure.

Konnor: Okay then. Ladies?

Diana: No problem.

Karli: Let's go.

They went to the school auditorium and the children (including the teenagers) started singing Ophelia, Devon and Katalia's signature song they always sang growing up. That made the parents (and stepparents) feel a bit better. They thanked the children and made homeward bound. Drake was still feeling upset but didn't express anything. He stopped eating as much and stayed in the bed most of the time. One day, Konnor got a message from Drake and that message would be his last.

Drake: Hey honey. This is my last message to you. I love you very much. I meant what I said. Even after I'm gone, I'll still be with you. I'll see you later. Tell the women I said that. On my way to see the kids. Love you,

Konnor immediately rushed home. When he got in the house, he ran upstairs and slammed open the door to find Drake lying down on the floor with eyes half closed and a drop of blood coming out of his mouth and an almost empty pill bottle. He overdosed.

Konnor: NO!! DRAKE,PLEASE!!! STAY WITH ME!! PLEASE!!

Drake: I'm always with you...

Drake's eyes rolled back in his head while his eyelids covered his nearly lifeless eyes. Konnor took him to the hospital but after 17 minutes, he was announced dead. Konnor couldn't believe it. He just had to deal with the loss of his children and now he has to deal with the loss of his husband. Two days after the incident, Konnor woke up and left his room. However, since his brain still wasn't fully awake when Konnor went down the stairs, he ended up missing a step and fell down. The last thing he remembers is hearing a huge high-pitched sound before blacking out. Konnor then got up and then felt pain all over him. Then, he heard a familiar voice calling his name.

Drake: Hi, Konnor.

Konnor couldn't believe his eyes. He walked up to Drake and felt his cheek. He can actually feel it. Both men embraced each other and were feeling happier than ever. But then, something occurred to Konnor.

Konnor: Wait... but, how?..

Drake pointed to his lifeless body behind him at the bottom of the stairs. He knew he fell pretty hard but he didn't think the impact would kill him. He decided not to think about it and let it go. But then, both fathers heard two voices.

"Hi Dads!"

Whew! This was hard to think through. Please don't get rid of yourself. I may not know you but I'm sure you have potential and can make through! Look at how far you've come! Keep going, champ!
