  I watched as Justin's casket was lowered into the ground while I cuddled Zita, my three week old daughter to my chest, I smiled at my friends as they huddled around me giving my their warmth and support. 

  "Ms.Morey," the priest said walking up to me and I gave him a small sad smile. "I just wanted to remind you that if you need anything my doors are always open."

  "Thank you," I said standing up pulling the blanket tighter around Zita. "But I'm planning on moving back home. Back to my aunt and uncles house."

  "Very well," he nodded. "I am sorry for your loss."

  "Are you sure about this?" Katie asked me for the hundredth time since she started helping me pack my house up. "You and Zita could move in with me and Jessie."

  "I miss home," I smiled. "Besides I want my family to meet Zita and everywhere I look here I see Justin. I need a fresh start."

  "Okay," she sighed. "We can come visit, right?"

  "Of course," I smiled hugging my best friend. "You, Jessie, Andy, Mia, Zee are all welcome to come and visit us."

  "Good," she hummed shoving me back on the bed just as the doorbell rang. "Expecting someone?"

  "No, but I have a feeling I know who it is," I said getting up and running to the before the ringing woke Zita up. "Hi, Diego, Janet, um...no idea who you are."

  "Hello sweetie," Janet smiled kissing my cheek and walking past me.

  "Nursery," I smiled watching as she ran down the hall. 

  "How are you?" Diego asked pulling me into a hug.

  "Okay," I shrugged hugging him back. "Who's your friend?"

  "This is Diver, he just got patched in," Diego said moving past me when Katie walked in.

  "Nice to meet you, Diver," I said motioning him in. "I appreciate the help with moving all of my things back to Blue Creek."

  "Not a problem ma'am," he said and I smiled sadly since he sorta reminded me of someone I'd rather not think about.

  "Katie can you finish the kitchen, Diego and Diver could start moving my furniture out of my bedroom and living room, and I'm going to see if Janet will help me pack the nursery up," I said giving them their jobs knowing I wanted to be on the road home tonight.

  "On it Pup," Diego smiled and I rolled my eyes at the name everyone knew me by.
