The life we always wanted (2)

Chapter Thirty Seven: Saying our goodbyes

Liam's POV

Today was the day of Freya's Funeral. My Mom and Dad have been so heartbroken all week. Henry refuses to go back on duty for another couple of months until everything has gotten somewhat better. But it will never get better. My mom and dad want me to say a speech at the funeral, which i have been preparing with my tutor for the last few days. I didnt really want the tutors help but i thought i could make it a little better if someone could help out.

I was excited however to see my grandparents, who had returned back from their trip to Arendelle. They had to cut the trip short however when they heard the news about Freya. In also ecstatic that my uncle Neal, who i tend to call my cousin as he is only two years older than me, is coming too as ive missed him so much.

When i woke up the castle was dead quiet. There was no sun shining in through my curtains like every normal morning in the enchanted forest. Just a dark,dull and cold morning. I think the weather represented all of our moods. We were miserable, we felt dull but most of all we werent in our normal moods. We hadnt been for almost a week.

I opened the curtains in my room and the forest looked lifeless. The kingdom had been mourning as well over the death of Freya, they knew her for who she was before all of this. The accepted her when her magic was revealed. They accepted her when she made wrong decisions. Basically the whole kingdom loved Freya. And to them they were loosing a part of their families.

I didnt dare to think about how my Mom and Dad were coping. Today isnt going to be easy.

Henry came into my room and helped me tie my black tie, to go with my black suit and black shoes. Today was kne of the few days we were allowed to wear black. My Mom hates the colour black, she says it reminds her of her past. Which i didnt quite understand. But we didnt want to show up in brightly coloured clothing to mourn a passing. So today black had to do.

When Henry finished tieing my tie he pulled me into a hug. He knew how close my and Freya was so he wanted to show sympathy. But i held it together and hugged him back.

We walked down into the hall where they were prepping the after party. It wouldnt really be a party, but it is a celebration of Freya's life. Me and Heney decided to help out to distract ourselves and because we saw they needed help as they hadnt got much done.

Emma's POV

Today was the day i say goodbye to Freya. No one could imagine the pain i was going through. We were the closest mother and daughter I'd seen in a long time (besides me and my mother). She always came to me for help with her Magic or her lessons, and when i was sick she and Liam would take care of me. But its all gone now. Now there is nothing. I was just incredibly happy that i still had Liam,Henry and especially Killian.

It was the worst i had felt in years. Picking out my outfit for the funeral made it seem all too real. I had a black, a-line, puffy dress on with a black headpiece which had a veil on it. Killian wore a black suit and well, black everything.

I handpicked everything for this funeral as i wanted it to be perfect. A white carriage to take her coffin to and from the church. I picked an exact location to bury her and a marble gravestone with her name,age, date of birth, date of death. Everything that would be expected. All the decorations for the wake (that is the after party) and i tried to not go overboard. But i felt like i hadnt done enough to honour her.

I ran down to find the castle's painter and asked him to paint a mural of Freya inside the castle and also one in the villiage. He went off and began painting his masterpiece. I knew that Freya always wanted more pictures of her up on the castle walls amoungst our family portraits. But we wanted a fair share. Now i wanted to fulfill her wishes.

I got Killian,Liam and Henry into the hall as we awaited the arrival of the carriages. Freya's body was being clothed into her favourite coral dress and being prepared for burial. So that was the only reason i wasnt with her.

The carriages arrived and the undertakers bring the coffin down and place it in the carriage. Me and Killian bring all of the flowers that hundreds of people brought to the castle for the funeral. The coffin hadn't been closed over yet so they pulled curtains over the windows of the carriage. (Look at media photo at start of chapter!) we placed the rest of the flowers in me and Killian's carriage and some in Liam and Henry's. My mom and dad were meeting us at the church. We got into our carriages and rode off.

The villiage was filled with people. People coming out to mourn with us. Shops were closed and curtains were pulled over in houses. All this to mourn for our daughter.

We arrived at the church we were married in, the kids were christened here too. Now this church was going ti hold another memory, my daughters funeral.

After the service which was beautiful and heartbreaking, we got into the carriage to bring us to the hill, to Freyas place of rest. The spot i picked had one tree. Which was a cherry blossom tree, Freya's favourite. We decided to bury her there so she was at peace. The hill gave a perfect view of the kingdom, our castle and the sunset.

When we got there all the guests, my family and friends all gathered around were the already dug up hole was for the Coffin. The placed Freya on a bar which would lower the coffin down slowly for us to see and say goodbye.

People placed flowers in the coffin like roses and tulips and lavender. Me and Killian placed her pirate ship necklace and portraits of our family. Me and Killian kissed her one last time before the undertakers nailed on the coffin top. The priest said a few words then Liam stood beside the Coffin and said sone words too, leaving everyone in tears.

Finally the moment we had been dreading. The coffin slowly lowers into the ground and stops when it reaches the bottom. I cry into Killians neck and he too cries as he hugs me. We shovel some dirt into the hole to show our last goodbye.

Everyone began to leave to get to our castle for the wake. But me and Killian stayed and watched as the undertakers finished off the burial. When they were done we slowly got into our carriage and looked out the window towards the grave as we rode off.

The party was somewhat good. Seeing my parents again cheered me up and seeing my brother Neal too. Me and Killian never left each others sight and our hands seemed like they were glued together. We kept a good watch on Liam and Henry too as we had became over protective parents again.

But oh how i missed Freya. My one and only daughter. She made me happy when times where rough and she always had jokes up her sleeve. These past month have been disastrous for our family. But it was the life that i wanted, and i would never ever change it.
