All you could hear was tears streaming down his face and the room became Even more silent than before
As the other doctor opened the door. Iris ran in. see his mother had gone.
he cried as Craig picked iris up and confronted him
Craig wife that he protected was gone. her body lay there looking like she was asleep
Both of them looked at her for the last time as they closed the door.
The doctor. Told them that all the expenses will be paid for grace funeral
Craig told her that she was going to take iris home.
The ride home was silent none of them said a word to each other
to each other as the car was driving
back to their house which turn out to a pretty good day turned to a sorrow one
Craig stopped the car in the driveway unbutton his seatbelt and opened the car door getting out
Walking around to the other side opened the door to get iris out
Closing the door slowly walking towards there house opening it and went inside
Craig placed iris down as he slowly walked to his room shutting it behind him
Iris just stood there with tears streaming down her face her mother the one who took care of her since she was a baby has gone.
Iris felt more alone than ever like something have punished her for doing something wrong
Or felt like it wasn't really
Back in Craig room all he could do, was lay there on the bed looking at the ceiling with pictures of my. Grace in his mind tormenting him with sadness as she has left this world thanks to that Carl hurting her.
Craig also felt guilty of taken there, son off Grace so she could have some peace and not taken her away from that asshole he regretted a lot of things even the fact that he didn't look for her. When she was pregnant with iris
All he did was cry in tears as outside iris could hear her father cry it felt unbearable to hear
I wasn't use to it still my wife had gone
Leaving me and our child be hide it was like a black hole
Had shallowed was about to swallow my heart whole. With no remorse
Feeling my emotional and sad at the same time to be honest I have to stay strong for iris. Protected her and staying positive that was the only thing that kept me going
He signed. As he. Try to get himself tougher opened the door to see iris with tears. Down her face
Looking at iris I feel like I have let her down, and I do feel ashamed that I deserve to punish myself but not now I have to stay strong for iris
iris (real father ) yoshi

Iris face sadness as he hug his father when he realized that iris didn't speak much he was in a lot of pain and the, only way he could let him express himself was let her angry out by crying. Or on him.
The days. Past like lighting. And to the day of the funeral everyone that knew. grace came even her parents
The woman wear backdress and the male wear black suits
All of them were offering there condolences to iris and Craig
Both of them have sad expression on there faces. Iris turned her face with tears streaming down her face it was to much for 10 year olds to bare it made her feel like she was weak. And couldn't do nothing
She just stood there saying nothing her heart was broken
As the priest began the funeral all of them sat down

We all have a moment of silence in the room
All of them bowed there heads and sat in silence remember Grace Wilson with her beautiful smile and her wise words.
All you could hear was iris tearing up her tears were heated over the silent as his father's arm creased him. With his arm. Trying to calm him down. So he could stop crying
Everyone some people look over seeing iris crying they could understand been a child without a mother is hard. Everyone knows how it is to lose a parent
Craig calm him down and say he will be with him and will protect him from anything
the priest carried on with rest of the service at the end everyone says there finally goodbyes iris wiped his eyes with tears as he kisses his mom on the cheek
Saying goodbye. As she waited. For. Father
When he last said there goodbye the church doors opened, and they lifted Graces coffin carrying it out to the burial side. All of them said prays
As the coffin was placed down into the hole and the priest. Spoke the word that would put everyone mind at essay
priest
May Grace Wilson be protected by the lord in heaven and blessing she will have in the afterlife
iris felt like she could finally say goodbye by taking a flower crush it and letting it go in her hand as all the petals flew into the air and were carried by the wind.
Everyone else followed him as to say the final send off

She left them on their own. Iris and Craig started to place flowers also on the grave and started to pray they stay there for an hour then left. For the car
Over at the airport there was a woman younger in her twenties getting off the plane she started walked to see if she could get a cab to Grace Wilson mansion to say hello to an old friend
when something caught her eyes it was the new and annocing about Grace Wilson. Death he face was in shock she knew Grace had a weak body but she didn't know it would lead to this
She quickly walked to get a cab to see Craig and to know the truth
She got into the car with her luggage and spoke
Charlie
Grace Wilson mansion please
The driver started to drive away. From the airport. She looked out of. The window. To see the beautiful scenes of the sea it made her feel car and relaxed
Thought her nervous were getting the better of her she couldn't sit still until she knew what happened to grace her heart would be in prices if she heard is it was true
Her heartbeat racing over hour. Like one of tho strain that pulled out of the. Station
The car. Took a short which lead them easy to the house she thanks the driver and paid him she walked to the front door. And knocked on his to see Craig open it he looked pale and weak like he hadn't slept in day. His eyes looked baggy and. He looked like he wasn't eating enough. He spoke
iris (real father ) yoshi
Hello Charlie how are you doing today what can I do for you
she. Gasped with shock seeing how he looked
Charlie
I came to see Grace though today I heard she was dead on the new, and I wanted to confirm if it true
Craig face broke down knowing the way he was Charlie couldn't believe it how can a beautiful woman like grace Wilson die so young
ires
Father ....... Who that
Charlie looked behind Craig and saw a little boy. He looked so much like Grace
Charlie
Craig is this grace son he looks so much like her
Craig nodded Charlie walked towards her and gave iris a hug. Seeing that lovely face it was as if. This child was a blessing and would continue been like her,
They all sat down. And had a chat. Craig told Charlie about why grace was so weak her face changed
Thinking it was because of Carl that she has become so weak she felt disgusted by how Carl could call himself a lovely husband when his hurting his wife behind closed doors
It was horrible to imagine. She saw how iris was the trauma that was left behind was not heath also been in this house all day wasn't healthy to she decided to take iris out, somewhere so they could talk, and he could get some things off his chest
She spoke with a strong tone
Charlie
Craig I will take iris out, so she can some fresh air she hasn't been out most of the day been I. The house isn't healthy
Craig looked at her and gave her a nod telling her it was a good idea
Iris look at her as she gave her hand to him, he took it without questioning
As both of them left the house to go somewhere quiet. Like a café or a park
Charlie saw two benches they sat down she looked at him, she spoke
Charlie
Iris I'm about what happened to your mother she was a wise woman who has always been with me to the very end of high school
Iris looked at her with a smile she replied
ires
I'm okay my ... Mommy says to me to stay strong and help daddy
Her eyes widened for such a little boy to stay strong put older people to shame
Due to they always. Faulty blame other people about their own miss desires .
And misfortune that they forget that there love one are the most precious things that they ever have
Charlie
I know your mom will be with you always she is proud of you even your father proud of you and so am I
Iris looked at Charlie and a bigger smile than every before came on her face
