ANOTHER BOOK OF BS INSTEAD OF SLEEP

YOU HAVE NO PLANS FOR ME I WILL SET MY SOUL ON FIRE

"Your estranged sister unexpectedly dies and would like you to become guardian to her son."

I like Fairy but for the sake of the prompt she's dead here

Edge and Fairy hadn't spoken in years.

It came as a painful shock to find that Fairy had passed away. He mourned for days, feeling sick and cycling all the things he should have told her.

Lance took care of him, holding no grudges against Fairy for hating him back when he and Edge got together.

Mostly, he was the shoulder for Edge to cry on.

They flew in for her funeral, which was full of loved ones.

Afterward, Janna found them, already breaking down. To bury her own child was the most painful thing she had ever done. She threw herself around Edge, hugging him tightly. Both were sobbing helplessly, and Lance left momentarily to find Holi.

Without words, Holi knew what was happening.

He returned and held his mother and brother, shedding silent tears for his departed sister.

Edge grabbed Lance's hand, a silent plea to join them. He did, and was clung onto as family.

After a while, Janna pulled herself together, easing Edge into Lance's arms.

"Fairy has a son," she said quietly. "Edge, she wants you to be his guardian."

"Wh-what? But why? And when did she have a child? She's 22!"

Janna smiled sadly. "We all know how naive she is. She got sweet talked into unprotected sex. She dated her boyfriend for a while, but he took off once the kid was born."

"Mama, how old is her son?" Edge asked, discomfort building inside him.

"He's um," she sighed. "Five. Five years old."

"SHE HAD A KID AT 17???"

"Yes, and she wants him to be in your care. In her will, she stated that she wanted him to have a stable family, and she wanted you to be his legal guardian."

Both Lance and Edge were quiet. They'd never planned for a kid, and they were so young, they didn't know if they could handle it.

"Oh Lance... I was eighteen when he was born... We're still so young! How can we provide a good home for him?" Edge squeezed Lance's hand.

"You two will be fine," Janna promised. "You'll love him, and he'll love you!"

The couple shared an uneasy look, but nodded. "For Fairy, I'll do it," Edge agreed softly.

Before her death, Fairy knew she was in danger. That's why she wrote a will so young. She knew her so called "boyfriend" was a dangerous man, as were his friends.

She didn't want her son in foster care, she wanted him in a warm, loving home that could give him everything he needed.

After her mess of a relationship, she could finally understand the love shared between Lance and her brother. She meant to apologize to Lance, but never got the chance.

It made her happy to think about her son in the care of two amazing people. The boy was old enough to realize that the two men were not his biological parents, but accepted it all the same.

In her last moments, she died happy, knowing her son would go to the kind of home he deserved.
