All These Years

Celebrating Life

AG's POV

it's been a few days since i got back home. i had been staying with pyper to keep her company and help her through her hard days. today was alexia's funeral. anna was able to make it down for it. she got the day off and flew down here. i'm picking her up from the airport soon.

i get up and go downstairs to see pyper talking to delilah. i just watched....

"mommy had to go. she is visiting grandma and auntie ag's mommy and she's happy. mommy said she loves you and she will miss you. but delilah baby, you will see mom again okay. we will be okay. mommy is happy." i heard pyper say. she said it with so much pain in her voice i heard it.

"can i see mommy now?" delilah asked. "no baby. not yet okay. not yet. mommy will be okay." pyper told her.

i couldn't imagine having to tell my daughter her mom wouldn't be coming back. my heart shattered just hearing pyper talk to her.

i walk by and pyper looks at me. i see her holding her tears in. i give her a nod of assurance.

"auntie ag!" delilah says while running to hug me. i bend down and embrace her little body. she pulls away and tells me...

"mommy is visiting your mommy. mommy said she's happy." delilah said. i smiled and ahead a tear.

i looked at pyper and she was crying. "yeah she is. your mommy is happy. she is gonna miss you." i told her.

i stand up and start walking to the door. "where you going?" delilah asked me. "i'm going to pick up nana, wanna come with?" i asked delilah. delilah has called anna, nana since she could speak. she never knew how to pronounce anna so nana is her name.

"yes yes! nana!!" she said while smiling! "okay go get your shoes on i'll help you tie them." i told her. she ran off to get her shoes and i walked to pyper.

"thank you. she loves you guys. she needs you both. i need you both." pyper told me. i brought her into a hug. "no problem, you are so strong. i'm proud of you. alexia is proud of you." i told her.

delilah ran out with her shoes and i helped her tie them. we then headed to the airport to pick anna up.

Anna's POV

i saw delilah running towards me screaming, "nana! nana!" i bent down with open arms waiting for her hug. she finally hugged me and i squeeze her tight.

she is just so young and innocent she is so filled with happiness. it breaks my heart knowing one day she will understand what happened.

"hey del, i missed you!" i told her. "miss you too nana!" she said. i stood up and ag smiled at me. she grabbed my waist and kissed me. "i missed you bubs." she told me. "how are you?" i asked her.

"i'm okay. it's just a lot to take in." she said.

we began walking out the airport, hand in hand. delilah holding both of our hands in between us swinging our way out the airport.

later that day.
ag's pov

"today we celebrate the short yet fulfilled life of Alexia Bacoulis. Alexia lived a happy life along side her wife Pyper and her beautiful daughter Delilah." the speaker said.

Pyper sat with Anna and i in the front of the ceremony. we left both our kids at the daycare and we went alone. alexia had many people there for her. pyper held my hand through it all. anna did as well.

the ceremony went on and it was time to burry alexia. anna and i gave pyper her space. we stayed in the crowed while pyper stayed with alexia.

later that night
