"No!" I exclaim, looking behind me as we play tag around the yard, stopping in my tracks.

"Sean! Go get my mom!" I exclaim, kneeling down, my face scrunching as I watch the bird  thrash around.

"Poor little guy." I whisper, not wanting to touch him, furthering his injury.

"What do we do with it?" Devon ask as we all sit on the couch, staring at the box in which it sits.

"It's not an it. It's... Phillip!" I exclaim, turning towards Sean as he nods in agreement.

"Phil for short." he says, smiling lightly as I nod, smiling at the box.

"Well sweetie, let's let him rest. We'll get some of your dad's worms and feed him later." my mom says softly as I nod, standing up beside Sean.
~~~~

"How do you think he's doing?" I ask, staring at the ceiling as he snores lightly

"Sean?" I ask softly, sitting up to see him dead asleep.

"If you somehow hear me, I'm gonna go feed Phillip." I say softly, grabbing his hoodie off the door as I make my way downstairs.
~~~~

"Hi little guy, are you hungry?" I ask softly, turning the kitchen light on, jumping as Devon sits up quickly, rubbing his eyes.

"Kaycee? What are you doing up?" he ask as I walk towards him, sitting down with a sigh.

"I came to feed him, why are you down here?" I ask as he smiles, wrapping an arm around my shoulder.

"I knew you wanted someone to watch him and I knew this couch wasn't big enough for both you and Sean, so I stayed down here. " he whispers as I smile lightly.

"Thanks Dev. Can you feed him the worm? I don't really like them." I say in disgust, setting down the container as he laughs lightly.

"Of course Kayc." he whispers, reaching into the bucket.
~~~~

"Morning Kay-" I hear as I rush into the living room, peeking into the box.

"Morning Phil! Morning you guys!" I exclaim, turning towards them as I stand up from the floor, noticing their faces.

"What?" I ask softly, walking towards the sink to quickly wash my hands.
~~~~

"SEAN!" I exclaim, giggling lightly as he tickles me, as I try and catch my breath.

"Kaycee, you may want to come downstairs." I hear looking up to see Kylie standing in the doorway, a sad look on her face.

"Is it Phillip?" I ask in concern, frowning as she nods.
~~~~

"I'm sorry Kayc." I hear, sniffing lightly, leaning into his side as we stand in the backyard.

"I know it's weird, but can we have a memorial service, to give him a proper goodbye?" I ask softly, smiling sadly as my mom nods.

"Devon can dig the grave." she says nodding lightly.

"I'll make the headstone. It's the least I can do." I hear, looking to see Sean.
~~~~

"Okay, I think I'm done." I whisper, showing him the casket, made of cardboard, glitter, and other things found around the house.

"It looks great Kayc." Sean says, pressing a kiss to my forehead as I look down at his makeshift headstone, reading it quickly.

"Would anyone like to say a few words?" Kylie ask as I stand silently beside Seqn.

"Wait!" I exclaim, stepping forward, setting a flower onto the mound of dirt. "Okay." I whisper, stepping back as the water from Dad's sprinklers rain above us.

"Rip Little Phillip." I hear Sean whisper, nodding slowly.

"In our hearts you rest." I whisper, sniffing lightly as I watch Devon and my Dad shovel dirt on top of the hole.

In honor of Lil Phillip, while he rest in peace, as well as our hearts.♡ -Shay💙💛
