It had been a week with Erin's ongoing chemo, she was getting exhausted and weaker by the day. Everyone was visiting her as much as they can and they had been amazing. But today just felt different, her and Jay was sat in the living room just talking and watching TV when she decided she needed to do something.

' Jay, can you take me to Camille grave please' she questioned as her body was weaker and her voice breaking.

' of course' he grabbed her coat, her big warm boots, scarf and a hat. They walked through the door hand in hand and carefully. Erin's hated this, hated being weak. She was taught to never be weak, to always be strong but right now she was dying on the inside and dying in generally. And jay knew this but there was nothing he could do about it. Once they reached the grave, Erin had asked Jay to leave her alone for a couple of minutes and he respectfully excused her self.

' hey Camille, I miss you you know! I really do, right now I need my mother with me... the guy you just saw is Jay, you have already met him so you know. He's really nice and he loves me for me. You would have loved him. And don't you worry I am taking care of your stubborn husband. God he irritates me sometimes and I knew he did the same for you and that is because he loved us both dearly, but sometimes it's hard for him you know. I might not be with him all the time so could you just keep an eye out for him, make sure he knows that you are there for him.. If he heard me I'm sure he would say ' I can take care of myself I'm not a little boy' she sniffled as tears ran down her face.

' that's right I would' a voice said from behind her and she smiled at him.

' your not supposed to be eavesdropping, didn't someone not teach you that' she bantered with him, he kneeled down on the ground and put flowers on her grave and smiled.

' don't worry cami we both are looking after eaxh other, i know you are up there laughing whilst we be arguing or Erin get sassy with me'

' hey, your lucky I'm feeling weak right now or I would have smacked you'

' see back talk Camille, she hasn't changed that one thing about her'

' I miss her Hank' she put her head on his shoulder.

' I know kid... actually I have something to show you do you have time to come ovee' she nodded her head and Hank helped her up.

' bye cami, we will come again. Don't worry I won't forget you and your name callings' and at that moment leaves had flown and they both chuckled.

Hank met Jay and told him to bring Erin to his and told him he could come to. They all reached at his house at the same time and eneyeded the house.

' I still feel illegal being here you know' Jay whispered in his girlfriends ear as they sat down and Hank went to grab something.

' he loves you now' she said as she shrugged her shoulders and Jay gave her a stare.

' okay not love but like and that is a huge step for Hank to like any of my boyfriends so your actually lucky you know' she coughed as soon as she finished talking and Jay quickly went to get water. He gave her some water and Hank came into the living room with a DVD.

' Camille made tapes of different times of yours and Justin's life when you would need her advice'
He put the DVD in the DVD player and a picture of Camille came up. Her golden locks falling, and her face looked beautiful, her blue eyes shone through the screen and Hank kept his breath in. Erin looked over and squeezed his hand.

' Hey Erin, I'm hoping you will not be watching these videos but If you are I know you will be perfectly fine, I know you child, I've known you since you came into my house as a whiny, annoying teenager who just didn't give a care in the world. But now I'm making this video and I've watched you graduate from the police academy and let me tell you, I am so so so proud of you! Watching you get that star was the proudest moments of my life because not only me and Hank were good parents but you did everything you could go get yourself there on that stage.. I hope you aren't going through any difficulty in your life but if you are I am here to give you advice because we both know Hank isn't good with words like I am, he would probably give you a rough answer in his raspy voice and god knows what' Hank and Erin laughed at that because that is true.
