Phil POV

It's been four months since Dan died. Tild doesn't understand what's happening and it's going to be strange not having Dan here for Christmas tomorrow.

Maisie's grades have dropped and she doesn't talk much. Luke has been their for both of us trying to get Maisie back to normal.

Every night for the first two months I cried myself to sleep. It was wired not having Dan sleeping next to me to cuddle with and fall asleep listening to his heartbeat.

I uploaded a video I found on his laptop of his onto his account.

He left all his stuff to Maisie and then he wrote at the bottom to find a video he's already shot and wants uploaded after he died. He knew it was coming but he didn't want us worrying about how long we have with him during his last few months.

Maisie hasn't been herself. For the first month she wouldn't eat, talk or sleep. She locked herself in her room and nobody could get in.

Right now, well we're all sat in silence while Tild is asleep. We tried to move on like Dan wanted but it's too hard.

He was their for the past 6 years of my life and I've watched him grow from a teenager into an adult.

Every night I watch one of our Phil is not on fire videos to make me laugh and remember the happy Dan.

I have been uploading videos but my energy is basically not their anymore.

I haven't taken Dans channel down so that people can watch them and remember the the happy joyful Dan he wants us to remember.

It's been 10 years. Ive quit YouTube and got myself a job at a tech company. Told is now 15. Maisie and Luke are getting married today and their both 25.

We've all sort of moved on from Dan but I haven't gone into another relationship and we all have that thought of him in the back of our minds.

Maisie has this locker she bought. She put a picture of Dan on one side and her parents on the other.

I'm walking her down the aisle with Tild as her maid of honour.

Dan would love to see his little sister all grown up and he'd want to be the one in my place but fate has a way of fucking with us all.

Maisie is pregnant as well actually. She's expecting a little boy in 5 months. She isn't huge but she is showing slightly in a tight fitting shirt or dress.

"Daniel Jackson-Howell. Put that down this minuet." I hear as I walk into the Jackson-Howell household. They double barrels their last name and named their little boy after Dan.

"Mummy. I was only playing." He says. He is an identical replica of Dan. He's only 4 but damn his vocabulary is good.

"No buts. You can do that when your sister gets here. Can you? Now be a good boy and go hug uncle Phil." She says. He runs and runs over to me. I catch him and spin him around.

"Hi Uncle Phil." He chirps and I put him down. He pulls me over to his Xbox and pulls me down. He starts playing a game and I join in.

"Go up and get ready for bed bud." Luke says as he walks in from the kitchen. Dan pouts but does as his dad says.

"I miss him." Maisie mutters and hugs Luke. Today is the day that Dan died and I always come over or they come over. But because Maisie is so close to giving birth that it was easier for me.

Maisie is a full time teacher and Luke is a business owner they have a pretty decent salary amount between them. 

"We all do babe." He says and pecks her forehead. She waddles over and hugs me before sitting on the sofa.

"It will never be the same without him but little Dan seems to have taken on quite a few of his traits." I say. Maisie nods and we all sit down in silence for a while.
