Ciara - dad already spoke to you about this. Now today is supposed to be about grandpa and grandma Maggie is going to need us all to be strong for her

At that moment Melissa opens the door followed by Jack and Jen.

Jen - hey guys , she hugs them both as does Melissa

Jack - hugs ciara and shakes Shawn's hand

Melissa- where are your mom and dad

Shawn- their inside

Jack - well now we should head in see if they need any help

Shawn - you all go ahead I'll be there in a minute

Ciara - Shawn Come on

Shawn- I'll be there in just a minute ciara

They all file in with ciara glancing over her shoulder.

A moment later Jen comes back out. She taps Shawn on the shoulder who is drinking from a flask , he quickly slips it back in his inside suit pocket jen motions for him to sit down on the bench thats just outside the front doors and the doors that lead into the church

Jen - you need to stop beating yourself up

Shawn - geez your here 2 minutes and ciara spills the beans

Jen - no Shawn your sister didn't tell me. And In all honesty It doesn't matter who told me. What happened with your dad isn't your fault and both your mom and dad understand. You need to stop beating yourself up over this. We all make mistakes. She opens her purse and takes out a mint handing it to him.

Shawn - takes the mint popping it in his mouth

Jen - trust me Shawn I've made plenty of mistakes in my lifetime and I'm probably going to make plenty more.

**Jen remembers the time she was driving and JT flew out of the car off the bridge into the water

Jen - I can tell you that drinking doesn't help. Your just masking what's bothering you instead of dealing with it. And there are too many of us Hortons who have done that, myself included.

(Lucas, Jen, Brady, Maggie have all been alcoholics at some point on the show. With Maggie being many of their sponsors )

Jen - today is an important day. Aunt Maggie is going to need all of us to be strong for her. And I think you want to be strong for her and for your parents as well.

Shawn - I do.

Jen - ok then , give me that she says pointing to Shawn's jacket.

Shawn opens his jacket and hands the flask to Jen.

Jen - takes the flask and tucks it into her purse and they head back inside.

The camera pans out and Then back into the church.

The church is now full with every pew filled.

Bo is seated in the front row next to Hope on the aisle , Maggie sitting next to Hope who's holding Maggie's hand as is Melissa, Sarah sits next to Melissa

Hope turns to Bo and whispers in his ear ,i love you Brady , speak straight from your heart youll do just fine . She kisses Bo on his cheek

Bo is the first to get up, he walks to the podium , good morning everyone and thank you all for coming.

Bo - not many people get to stand in a church like this and say that they had not 1 but 2 great men in their lives that they could call their father. My pop was one of those great men and Victor was the other.
