Remember Me? Epilogue "Dad?" Steve questioned as he looked up at his aging father. Nickolas Carter, JR. looked over at his 12 year old son. "Steven I have a story to tell you" he said gently as he placed his hand on his shoulder. "I know who grandpa was but I don't know who this Trinity lady is. . .and why is grandpa buried next to her. She died. . .At the age. . .17. . .Grandpa lived to 92" Steve said looking up at his father quizzically. Feeling the snip of wind on his face he sighed "Before grandpa married grandma and had me he had his first love, Steve. And this is the story I want to tell you all right?" he said as he took his boys hand as he laid the bouquet of roses on his fathers grave as he bowed slight in remembrance of his father. "Story dad? Aw man. I don't like your stories." Steve said wrinkling his nose. Laughing at Steven, Nick knew he would become a spitting image of the original Nick Carter. "Hey I tell good stories!" Nick JR. protested. Shaking his head Steve glanced back at the headstones one more time "Did grandpa not like grandma?" Steve asked solemnly. "No. . .he loved her .But I think she understands why he wanted to be buried there" he said, "come Steve. I will tell you the story. And you will tell your child this story and so on. So that one day it's takes a life of it's own and their love is placed in the stars forever." he said hugging his son. "Ew dad. You are talking mushy stuff!" Steve said in protest as he hit his dad lightly and pulled away from him. Laughing Nick JR just shrugged "Yea. . .long story to tell. . ." |
