Carla's Daughter: Book 1

Planning Carlsons Funural

Courtney's POV

Carleigh was up three times last night, Chrystal was up once and it was tiring, it was hard having two children, I gave up at around seven thirty. Sophie text me last night saying go round at 11am. So I had 3 and a half hours, I was going to let the girls sleep until they wake up. I made Chrystal bottle and got out her high chair and as I put it out Chrystals baby monitor started making a sound, she was crying. I put the bottle down and walked into Chrystals room, I picked her up and took her back to the kitchen "did mummy's princess have a nice sleep" I ask my baby and she giggles. I place Chrystal in her highchair and make sure she can't try and climb out, I pick her food and bottle up from the kitchen side. I open the baby food and start to feed my little girl, mum came out of her room dressed "me and Sophie are going to be planning Carlsons funural today" I say to mum and she looks over to me "if you need anything just ask" mum says to me and I nod "we're having the wake at the rovers, Liz offered and I said it would be nice" I tell mum and she nods I was in the middle of feeding Chrystal when Carleighs Baby monitor went off "could you possibly watch Chrystal while I go and get Carleigh" I ask mum "okay but hurry, got to get to work" mum says and I can tell somethings up she's like this a lot now, aunt chelle and Nick and Roy have all noticed. I go and pick Carleigh up and rock her gently and walk back and take the mosus basket nere to Chrystal and place a now calm Carleigh in I sit down by the girls and finish feeding Chrystal before feeding Carleigh . After both girls were fed I picked Carleigh up and then Chrystal up and headed back to my room putting Carleigh in her cot and holding Chrystal "now what should mummy wear today" I ask my little girls before chooseing my white monkey emoji crop top with my black skinny jeans and my vans. I place Chrystal on the floor before jumping into my clothes and picking Chrystal back up "mummy will be right back Carleigh, she's just going to get you sisters clothes" I say to my babygirl. I carry Carleigh to her room and choose her baby vest which says 'if you think I'm cute you should see my godmother' which Sophie and Maddie brought her and I also grab her tracksuit before taking her bake to my room and changing her and getting her dressed before putting her in her play pen and chooseing something for Carleigh. I finally choose her white babyvest
Which is spotted, her baby grow with fear and her coat which is an all in one. The girls were both dressed and fed so I pack the changing bag with a few bottles for Chrystal. I then picked the girls up and left the flat struggling to lock the door behind me. I go down the stairs and put the girls in the pushchair, I put Chrystals blanket over her and then put Carleigh into her blanket. I put the changing bag under the pushchair and then push the girls to the door I open it and walk out backwards before heading to Sophie's ready to plan Carlsons funural.

I knock on Sally's door and Sophie answer "come in" she says and I push The girls in. "Tea?" Sophie asks me and I nod, I had no clue what I needed to plan "I don't know what I need to plan for Carlsons funural" I say to Sophie "what you want him to wear, what music you want to have played, and what you want to be read at the funeral" Sophie tells me. I nod, it was going to be a long day "I want him to wear a dark blue babygrow with his top which says Party at my cot 🍼 with black baby jeans, I brought them weeks ago" I say to Sophie and she nods bringing back the cups of tea "I'm sure he would look amazing in that" Sophie says to me and I nod with another sigh, I said to mum I would make sure I didn't have a miscarriage and it turns out I had miss carried one of my children. Sophie writes down what Carlson was going to wear. "Okay we need to pick the songs, what song do you want it be played when we go into the church and when we leave the church, and when the curtains close" Sophie tells me so I nod. "When the curtains close I would quite like Count on Me by Bruno Mars" I say biteing my lip "that's such a nice song" Sophie says and I smile, the lyrics mean the most to me, (they actually do, the song was played when my Nans curtains were closed for her funeral, not even listened to that song since, almost 3 years 😭) "going in and comeing out I want the same song, I want it to be you are not alone (think that's name) because he will never be alone, always with me no matter what" I explain and soon I brake down. I couldn't do this, James isn't even bothered unless he's not showing it but he still could have turned up to help with the planning. Sophie gets up from where she was sat writing down the plan and came and sat next to me pulling me into a hug, that's when Carleigh started crying, I quickly wipe my eyes "I better see what Carleigh wants" I say trying to push all my emotions out. I get up and walk over to the girls pushchair and pick her up, she needed changing so I picked up the changeing bag "let me change her. You stay here and calm down, yeah?" Sophie asks. I nod, I needed to calm down before I do anything else so I hand the changing bag to Sophie and I gently pass Carleigh to her, "when I've changed Carleigh I'll check if Chrystal needs changing" Sophie tells me and I nod. I sit back down and put my head in my hands, why is loseing a child so hard. I pull my phone out "Hi James, Carlsons funural is going to be Monday at 1:30" I send to James, when I had text James in put the funural organisation people's number "hello how can I help you" the person who answered the phone said "I'd like to book a funeral for Monday at 1:30" I say and I hear tapping away, "okay, we will send someone round to talk with you , could you tell us your address" they ask so I did that and then hung up. Sophie came back downstairs with carleigh and checked Chrystal who didn't need changing so she came back and set next to me, "the funeral is going to be 1:30 on Monday and their sending someone to come talk to me about it" I tell Sophie and she nods.

Me and Sophie sit talking, most of all her comforting me and calming me down. Their soon Was a knock on the door and Sophie comes to answer, it was the person who was coming to talk to me about the funeral, "hi I'm Liam hope and I will be the one who's holding the funural" the man says "I'm Courtney, this is Sophie, and these are my two children Chrystal and Carleigh" I say introducing evreyone "the funeral will be for my son, he was stillborn" I say sighing "so have you sorted what music you want to have played" Liam asks me I nod, "when we go in and come out I want you are not alone to be played, and when the curtains are closed I want Count on me by Bruno Mars to be played" I tell him and he writes it down in the book. "I also want to say something st the funeral" I say and he writes it down "and then I want two poems to be read but I don't mind what they are." I tell Liam and he writes it down "thank you, we will be sending the cars to pick you up for 1:30" Liam says and I nod "thank you" I say and then Sophie sees him off. "Thank you for today" I say to Sophie and she smiles at me "it's nothing" she tells me

I soon go home and feed Carleigh before putting her down for a nap, I then pick Chrystal up and take her for a bath, I put her in the bath and was her before getting her out and then getting her dressed and put her down for her nap. I took the baby monitors through to the lounge, I sat on the sofa and watched tv, when the girls work up I decided to go over to the rovers to talk to Liz about the funeral wake. I pick the girls up and put their coats on and carry them both down the stairs and putting them in he pushchair, I walk over to the rovers with the girls and go inside "hi Liz, the funeral is Monday at 1:30" I tell her "okay, we will close the pub from 2:30 until whenever you want" she tells me and I nod. It soon began to get busy so I take the girls home and get ready for bed.
