Simon POV

I guess it was time for me to tell Georgie. Angelo was her brother and she deserves to know.

Angelo always looked up to her and they loved each other so much.

Georgie is seventeen years old and is Clary and I only child together. I will say Clary and I don't get along as well as Adele and I do but we make it work.

Georgie was there when Angelo was born and held him in his arms. Both Georgie and Angelo walked down the aisle together holding hands when Adele and I got married.

But they also both were sitting on the couch on a June evening together when Adele and I told them that we were getting a divorce.

Those two have been through so much together. They have laughed together, cried together, and made memories together.

I just can't believe that I have to tell her this news.

I got into my car and started driving to Clary's house. I called Georgie and said that I needed to come and talk to her so she is expecting me.

I pull up to the house and get out of the car. I ring the door bell and Clary comes to the door.

"Hey Simon!" She hugged me and I walked inside. "Georgie should be right down but could I get you something?" She asked "I'm alright but thank you"

Georgie walked down the stairs and I couldn't help but be so grateful for her. She is the most amazing young lady and I'm so proud of her. I'm so happy that I still have her.

"Hey dad" she hugged me and I felt my heart feel a little less broken. "Hey darling"

We walked into the living room and we both sat down on the couch.

"How's Angelo and Adele?" When she said that I felt even more defeated than how I felt when I walked into the house. "Um that's actually what I need to talk to you about." I said and she had a worried look on her face. "So um last night I went into Angelo's room and he was pale and had a fever. So, I left him for a few seconds to go get him some medicine and when I came back I noticed that he had fallen asleep. But, when I looked closer I noticed that he wasn't breathing. I started freaking out and called 911 and then I called Adele to come over so she did. When the ambulance came they looked at Angelo and said that he had suffered a heart attack and passed away." I said that all in one breath and once I was done I wiped the tears that were now streaming down my face.

Georgie was speechless. So I continued talking.

"Adele is obviously heartbroken and so is her boyfriend but um. Of course Adele was stressed last night and uh she was pregnant. But, there was too much stress on the baby and so her and Rich's baby passed away last night too. Adele lost both of her kids in the span of five minutes."

"Oh my god Dad. You should have called me I would have been over there in a heartbeat. I can't believe that Angelo is gone. I can't believe that Adele was pregnant." She said.

Georgie had tears streaming down her face now too. I opened my arms to hug her and segue fell into my arms and sobbed.

Clary had heard everything which I was kind of expecting. She walked into the living room and hugged both of us.

"Si, I'm so sorry" she whispered "thank you Claire"

We were using our nicknames? Something about it didn't feel weird. It felt natural and somewhat comforting.

"Look I've got to go but G you are welcome to come back with me. I'm sure Adele would love to see you" I offered "I'll come with you dad"

We got into my car and the drive home was silent. We got to my house and we walked straight over to Adele and Rich's house.

"What's Adele's boyfriend's name?" She asked "his name is Rich Paul. He's a very nice guy"

Adele POV

I heard a knock on the door which I thought was weird. I wasn't expecting anyone today.

I opening the door and saw Simon and Georgie standing there.

"Hey guys! What are you two doing here?" I said trying to sound happy. "She knows Adele" Simon said

I welcomed them inside and we walked into the kitchen.

"Adele I'm so sorry for your loss" Georgie said and hugged me "thank you G"

As I was hugging her Rich came in the garage door.

"Hey guys?" He said setting down his things on the counter.

"Hey Rich how are you?" Simon shook his hand and then Rich looked straight to me and Georgie. "Rich this is Simon's daughter Georgie" I said introducing her. "It's nice to meet you" they hugged and we all went into the living room.

As we were sitting there just catching up I felt something in my stomach. Rich had seemed to notice "babe are you okay?" He asked. "I know this might sound strange but I swear I feel kicking in my stomach."
