Abby looked at her own hands. "I just...you need to know..."
Peter looked up at Abby, though tears were still slipping down his face. "No, Abby. You're right. We need to know. I need to know." Peter kissed Tasha and then he scooted her out of his lap and in to Aly's waiting arms so he could go to David. Peter put his hand on his brother-in-law's back. "David? I'm not going to go anywhere, alright? Really." David had lost William to this just like Aly had. William was David's best friend. And now Peter was and it seemed too cruel that David and Aly would have to suffer through this again. "It's only for a little while. And then I'll be me again. Okay?"
Thomas felt sick to his stomach which was an accomplishment for a dead man, and to see Peter comforting someone about his own condition caused him to cry silently as well. Thomas hardly ever cried, but this was certainly the time for it. He held on tightly to his little sister and then he reached out for Robert's hand as well.
