Tom glanced down at the grave, swallowing the lump in his throat.
He wasn't sure how long he's been standing out here, but he knew it must have been a while. He had lost all feeling in his fingers, due to the cold, or maybe it was another reason.
The cemetery was empty, of course, no one wanted to spend time with a bunch of dead people.
It was different for Tom, very different. He tilts his head, looking the at the headstone again. Maybe he had read it wrong, maybe it was someone else.
He sighs heavily, shaking his head. No, it wasn't someone else.
It was her, his wife, his love, his angel. Dead. All because of him.
"I'm so sorry Abby," He mumbles quietly,"This wasn't suppose to happen." Feeling like time had stopped, Tom bends down running his finger over his wife's headstone.
Abigail Marie Speare. Loving wife, wonderful mother, taken before her time. 1930-1975
He glances over at the headstone next to hers, his own. He was suppose to be buried next to her, just like they promised.
He wasn't suppose to be here, he wasn't suppose to be alive.
His wife shouldn't be dead, his daughter shouldn't have had to grow up so fast, he wasn't suppose to be alive.
But he was. Nothing he could do could change that.
"This is how," He says quietly, laying a rose on her grave and standing back up, dusting himself off,"It's suppose to be."

Yumi sat on the ground in front of Fabians grave, just looking at it. She made sure she was on the side walk, so not to be disrespectful to his grave. Sirius was out looking for a job that day so it was just her, Mia, and Fay. Mia had been asking about Fabian more and more with each day and Yumi knew it was time that she told her.
Mia was sitting on her lap staying silent. Yumi hoped that she didn't understand what Yumi had just told her. Fay was asleep in the stroller beside of her, Yumi made sure she could keep an eye on him at all times.
Fabian Daniel Prewett. Father, Brother, Friend.
Yumi just stared at those words, then under it the dates. Those words weren't enough. No.
Fabian was so much more. Probably settled on those because there were to many.
"My daddys in there?" Mia asked, breaking the silence.
Yumi jumped slightly and nodded. "Yeah baby." She said, "You'll see him. I promise."
"Promise?"
"Promise." Yumi nodded again "He's just up in the sky. You know he loved to fly baby girl."
Mia sat there staying silent and nodded. Yumi sighed and held Mia closer.

A million thoughts were flying through Tom's head. Could he have done something? Could he start his life over? Would he ever love another like he loved Abby. The answer to all his questions were the same.
No. No, he couldn't.
Sighing heavily through his nose, he recalls the first day he met her, he was almost four years older then here, and in a different house. But the moment he saw he, he knew she was the one.
It sounded so cliched, but it was the truth. From the moment he saw her, Tom knew that Abby Malfoy was the one he wanted to marry. The woman he'd have his children with. The love of his life. That they would always been together.
Staring blankly at her headstone, he knew now, that it was all just a long forgotten memory.

Yumi sat there for a few more moments, thoughts raceing.
Fabain was dead. He's been dead. Yumi looked down at Mia and sighed again. She looked so much like him. Same hair, same smile, same face, same little gleam in their eyes.
BUt now as Yumi looked down at Mia, Yumi didn't see anything. She just kept starrring at the tomb stone. Yumi wished she could do something.
Just then Fay started to cry and Yumi closed her eyes for a moment. "I'll be right back baby girl." She said to Mia and stood up going over to tend to Fay. Yumi saw a man standing a bit away but thought nothing of it.
"Come on..." Yumi muttered rocking Fay back and forth. "Come on Fay..." She muttered again. She hummed softly in his ear trying to calm him down. Nothing else seemed wrong with him. Yumi didn't know what else to do.

Tom breaks away from his thoughts hearing a baby cry. He's reminded of when Maddie was a baby. His heart aches as he's reminded of Abby again. It was going to be hard without her. Tom knew that much. She looked pretty young to be a mum, around his own daughter's age perhaps. And having two kids, that was a shocker. "Need help?" He asks softly, walking over towards her.

Yumi looked up at the man "I-I don't know what to do. He won't stop..." She muttered looking down at Fay as his crys got more violent. She didn't know what was wrong. She had just fed him and changed his diaper before they came. He wasn't up all night. She looked over him once more. She couldn't see what was wrong with him. Yumi looked up at the man once more before looking over to Mia, where she was sitting in the same place. She hadn't moved an inch and that worried Yumi.

Tom's brow furrowed. Maddie had been the same way as a baby.
"You mind?" He asks, holdiing his hands to to hold the baby."I can help, had a child my own."

Yumi eyes him for a few moments but Fay's crying has got her desperate. She hands Fay over to him lightly. mia walks over and laches on to Yumi's leg looking up at the man. Yumi reaches her hand down and strokes Mia's hair lightly watching the man.

"Name's Tom," He mumbles softly, taking the baby from her, and moving him to the crook of his arm."This little fellow have a name?"

"Yumi, Amy whichever you want." Yumi mutters. With people older than her, and seemed more than a few years older she used both names. Just a habit. "Yeah...His names Fabian. We just call him Fay." She says. "This is Mia."

Tom nods, not commenting on the two names. It wasn't his palce to ask. "Shush Fay, your all right kiddo." Tom mumbles softly,"Hiya Mia, this is your baby brother huh?"

Fay starts to quite down, but is still crying. Mia nods looking up at Tom. "Thanks for the help.." She says, even though he hadn't got Fay to calm down all the way yet. "First kid...I'm kind of stuck most of the time." She adds running a tired hand through her hair.

Tom hums softly, brushing the mop of hair the baby had off his forehead, before he starts to sing softly to him.
"There's always something in the way. There's always something
getting through; but it's not me it's you, it's you."

Yumi watchs Tom and lets her lips upturn only slightly as Fay starts to calm down and eventually stops crying. Yumi watchs Fay's eye droop a bit, and smiles slightly again, afraid to say a word.
