CHAPTER 4

The funeral occurred three days later, as Sky demanded that Sophie has to be buried just after Ashley be released from the hospital, so she could say good bye to the mother she never knows. The day however, was a day more likely to a wedding rather than a funeral. No clouds in the sky and a warm sun to bright the day, it was one of Sophie's favorite days, Donna remembered, since the girl liked to spend days like that in the pool or on the beach with her friends.

Hotel officials, distant relatives and some friends around the island followed the procession, while Bill, Harry, Sam, and Sky carried the coffin to the cemetery, Rosie and Tanya supported a shaken Donna behind them. And in Mr. Fernando´s arms, Ashley played haply, obviously unware of what was happening around her.

Eulogies were said, the priest give a few words to farewell and Sophie was finally placed to her eternal rest. Once that, everyone return to the hotel, to eat and talk about her. It was strange however, that it was the first funeral the island has in the last ten years.

To a funeral, the mood was quite light, as everyone were distracted with little Ashley presence, playing with the baby, holding her, while talking about her mother. Even Dona tried to smile a little, as she held little Ashley tight in her arms, , the little girl who remind her so much of her daughter.

On the other side of the room, Sky was quiet, watching everyone, as Sam approach him with a sad smile ''my condolences, my boy'' he said

''Ash is so beautiful, isn´t she?'' the young man asked, looking at his little girl lying on Harry´s lap ''I just wish Sophie was here to see her'' he said as Sam patted his shoulder.

''she is here, Sky, but not in the way we´re used to'' Sam reply, but Sky didn´t said a word, he doesn´t know if he agreed with that statement, but he didn´t wanted to argue with his father-in-law.

Later that same night, after everyone gone away and both Sam and Donna were sleeping, Sky found himself alone, awake in the nursery room, keeping vigil at his sleeping infant, thinking about the events of the previous days. As much he couldn't live without Sophie, he tough Donna were right, he couldn´t leave this little girl behind, just after she had lost her mother and didn´t want to take her away from her grandparents either, as they deserved to have a little bit of Sophie with them always as well.

This way as much as he felt hurt by what happened, Adam Sergievsky decided to stay near the family, for his daughter´s sake, as she deserved to have all her family around her fever.

Little did he knew, that somewhere from above, Sophie was just smiling to him, proudly for his braveness to face the future without her.

She just hoped he could tell all the stories he had about her, to this little baby she give her life to bring to the world.
