We arrive at the funeral home almost everyone is there. Riker and I walk to his casket "I love you Ross" I whisper to his still body. His blonde hair pushed to one side they way he likes. He is wearing a suit, not him, with a tie that is yellow. I put the ring I bought for him in the casket next to his hand on his chest. "I'll miss you" I say whisper before I sit in my seat next to Riker. We pray and get through her his family going up to make a speech. Now we are heading to Littleton to finish the weakening. It takes 3 hours by plane to get to Littleton Colorado. We get to the funeral home here in Littleton. We prepare for the second weakening for his friends and family , tomorrow well actually have his funeral. For the next couple days we will be staying at the Lynch's grandma's house.
"Hi Courtney" grandma says waving at me "sorry about Ross.
"Hi grandma same to you about Ross" I say as we hug each other while trying to hold back tears. "How,be you been?"
"Good. Until I found out. How are you doing my dear?"
"Alright I guess"
"Just alright?"
"Yeah... Alright"
"Fights?"
"Yeah. We had a one the other morning  and I can't fix it" I say crying into grandma's shoulder. "I should get some sleep"
"Of course"
"I'll sleep on the couch" I say.
"Nonsense. You'll sleep with Rydel" 
"Yeah, you'll sleep with me" Rydel says pulling me to the bedroom she stays in. When they are at their grandparents the boys sleep in one room, girls in another, parents in the living room, and the grandparents get their rooms still, for both sides. We get to Rydel's room and I lay down on the bed right away. "Tired?" Rydel asks. I shake my head no, I roll over and close my eyes until I fall asleep.

"Courtney?" A voice asks me. I recognize the voice, it's his voice.
"Ross?" I whisper. I'm on the shore line on our beach. I turn around to see Ross standing there, kind of faded, but still there. He becomes clearer. "Ross?" I say running into his arms. "I missed you"
"I've missed you more. I'm so sorry that I can't protect you anymore"
"Ross it's my fault and I was wrong, we should've gotten the house you wanted" I say putting my hands over my eyes.
"Court it was never your fault, I pushed you. I shouldn't have done that to you, or dying on you."
"You can't blame yourself for that, EVER. You didn't know that you would happen" I say holding my tears back. "Neither did I... Until now" I say wrapping my arms around his neck.
"I know I can't, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry."
"I forgive you"
"I forgive you... I have to go now"
"No!" I yell.
"Court... I don't want to but I have to"
"Okay. Do me a couple favors"
"What are they?"
"First, wait for me. Second, don't forget me. And third, kiss me"
"First, I'll always wait. Second, I could never forget you, third, come here" he says pushing his soft warn lips to mine.

My eyes flutter open my cheeks are wet. I rub the tears away, I can still feel and taste his lips on mine. Feeling his lips make me cry even harder. "Courtney" I heard a voice whisper.
"Rydel. I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you up."
"No it's fine. I wasn't able to sleep anyways"
"Nervous?"
"No... Yes" I turn to look at her,
"Same"
"Why are you nervous?"
"I don't want to see him go into the ground.
"Same. He was way to young" I just smile because Ross is a week older than me. "So are you"
"Of course. I know this" Rydel rolls her eyes "I'm hungry"
"Okay let's go" she says pulling me all the way to the kitchen. "Courtney's hungry"
"What would you like?"
"Stop that"
"Stop what?"
"Your not a picky eater like Ross I would always ask that's and he would always reply  "Anything" it drives me up the wall now with him being gone."
"Oh I'm sorry" I say "Did you have a seen with hi- Ross in it?"
"No why?"
"I was just wondering" So, I was the only one to have Ross in a dream. "The reason u was wondering is because I did."
"About what?" Rydel asks.
"Nothing real important"
"Huh?"
"When is Ross's second weakening?"
I ask Stormie.
"2:30" I nod I look at the time it's 12:30.
"Okay. I'm going to get ready"
"Alright honey" I smile and head to Rydel's room. I do my makeup, I curl my hair. I put on my favorite pair of jeggings, a black tank top, with a cross on it. I put Ross's chain, necklaces and bracelets, I even put on his leather jacket which smells like him. I put on my high top Converse with Ross's name on them because they're his. That are a little big, but I can manage them. I walk into the living room to all of the boys pausing to stare at me. "You can stop drooling now" I say smiling lightly slapping Riker, Rocky, Ryland, and Ellington's face there is one face I'm missing... Ross.
"You're just so dame beautiful" Riker answers. I blush and look at my hands. "I get what Ross saw in you"
"Awe big brother" I sag in my baby voice. This time he blushes "I'm just another person in the family, I'm not interested"
"I know. I was just stating a fact."
"Okay" I say placing my hands on my stomach and smile, because I have part igneous growing inside of me this very moment.
"I forgot about that" Riker says looking at my hands.
"About what?" Stormie asks
"Oh nothing" Riker says as I give him a death stare "sorry" he mouths to me
"Seriously what about?" Rydel asks.
"About... That I'm pregnant" I say in a low whisper.
"WHAT?!" Everyone asks me, except Riker.
"I'm pregnant"
"OMG!!!! Why didn't you tell me?"Rydel asks.
"I don't, I felt like I had to keep it a secret"
"Why?" Stormie asks.
"I really don't know" I say "I couldn't hold it anymore, so I told Riker... Until now"
"You know you can come to us for anything, even something... Having my brother baby is Rossome" Rocky says.
I smile at the name Rossome that's the name we have Ross. Just to annoy to death, not literally.
"I know Rocky" I whisper.
"How far along are you?" Ellington asks.
"Two months and a day" I say rubbing my stomach. "The thing is I haven't had a lot of morning sickness"
"That's normal hon. It depends on the women for the morning sickness" Stormie says.
"Oh. Okay. We should go"
"Yes we should" Mark says pushing us into grandma's van. Grandma's can is like no other van version. We get to the funeral home for his second weakening. Tomorrow will be his actual funeral, which I'm not ready for. We get inside and wait for everyone to arrive.
