Trilogy: Two Siblings, a husband and a grandchild

Part 36

Your POV:
-6 months later-
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust".
Nope.
It can't be happening.
Why can't my life be simple.
After everything that has happened, why can't we have a bit of happiness?

-2 weeks later-
"So Y/n, I know it hasn't been an easy year" Jane said.
She can say that again.
"Worse than that" I mumbled.
"Sorry?"
"Look Jane. It's been a shit year. And I mean a shit year. A year I want to fucking forget. So yeah it hasn't been an easy year" I scoffed.
She just looked at me.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean that" I apologised.
"It's okay. Tell me why your are here"
"Where do you want me to start?" I nervously laughed.
"Anywhere"
"It all started when I had my second child, mum was being an ass and left, then 14 years later, I had my accident, then Covid hit, my mum decided to get into contact and tell us we had a secret brother and tell us she lied to us then..." I stopped. I couldn't bring myself to say it. But I had to.
"When my Dad died" I whispered.

Elodie and I were out shopping when I got the phone call from Haz. I remember collapsing down isle 4 while Elodie rung Tom and told him what had happened.

"I am sorry. Tell me about him" Jane said, pulling me out of thoughts.
"He was the only supportive one out of my parents. He never left me when Mum left. He was there at my wedding, even though he didn't give me away. He was there when all my children were born. He was there when his great grandson was born. I'm just sad he won't be there to see Lottie and Haz's children grow up. Or or...". A sob left me.
"It's okay".
I placed a hand on my stomach and looked down.
"Or to see his 8th grandchild".
