"He's gone..." Matt said, collapsing to the floor in tears again.

"No," Casey said, feeling sick to his stomach. "No, he was doing fine, he was so strong at the wedding. He's not dead!"

Matt couldn't speak. He just sat there sobbing.

"It's not fair," Casey told him. "It was your wedding day. That's all he talked about, was spending his life with you. I know every last detail about you and kids through his letters."

Casey looked at Matt. "Luke would want you to be strong. You need to take care of your kids, Matt. I'll help you, and you've got your brother Dillon."

"Look, I don't have anything going for me in Oakdale," Casey told him. "And I was about to sign up for the police academy. Why don't I stay here for a while and help you out with the kids? I owe it to Luke to help his kids through this."

Casey handed Matt a tissue. "I'll need to find a place to stay, but I'll help you with the kids. Luke loved you, Matt, and he's going to be watching over you and those babies."

"Stay with us," Matt insisted. "We need someone there... because I feel like I might fall apart at any moment."

"Alright, but I'm taking the couch," Casey said, trying to laugh to lighten the mood.

"We have a guest room if we bring BJ's crib into my room. We'll do that," Matt told him, not seeing the humor.

"Do you want me to take you home, and let Dillon keep the kids for the night before you tell them?" Casey asked. "Or do you want to tell them right away."
