"Need anything ?" Tk asked his dad who was sitting on the couch "I can get you a drink or something to eat -" Tk said

"Tk -" Owen said looking at Tk with a frown " we need to talk .." Owen said Tk felt a lump in his throat appear as his dad said those words " I can't do it anymore Tk .. and neither can you .." Owen said " dad I'll come over more often I -" Tk stuttered as tears appeared in his eyes " Tk- I'm not gonna let you make the same mistake I did with you -" Owen said " willow needs her daddy and Carlos needs you and when your here with me most of the day your not there -" Owen said tears now coming out Tk's eyes " I don't know what I'll do without you .." Tk said picking at his fingers

"Moms gone and now your gonna be gone -" Tk said crying " you will do just fine without me okay - because you have people around you who love you and want the best for you just like me and your mother .." Owen said " but your still gone-" Tk said crying " I love you and nothings gonna change that Tk you know that .." Owen said " I'm sorry .." Tk said " I was a shit son -" Tk said looking down at his hands " no you weren't -" Owen said " yes I was for years you tried to get me sober and that's the only reason I'm here now -" Tk said

" your here now cause you choose to be and you need to keep choosing to be for Carlos and for willow okay ." Owen said " you are the best thing that's happened to me and you will forever be so proud of who you've become and that will never change okay but I need you to do this for me .." Owen said " why don't you call Carlos .." Owen said

Tk called Carlos over Tk answered the door tears in his eyes " hey .. I dropped willow off at grace and Judd's .." Carlos said hugging Tk softly
"Yeah .." Tk said softly Tk led Carlos to the patio seeing Owen in his chair in his turnout coat and his 126 helmet in his hands They'd reached the end of the line, and as much as TK didn't want it, he had to let his father go. "I'm tired .." Owen said softly it pained Tk to see his father like this his father now less than 100 pound It had been happening over the past few months it still shocked Tk how fast it happened

"I can't do it anymore Tk .." Owen said " you put up as good fight dad . " Tk said as Carlos rubbed his shoulder " it's time .." Owen said softly as buttercup curled at his feet one last time " okay .." Tk said softly heading back into the house to get the dose of pain meds that the doctor had given to Tk once Owen gave him his full power of attorney over all his medical decisions once the dose was administered he would then pass peacefully within minutes

"I love you Tk that will never change ." Owen said once Tk came back with the dose " I love you to .." Tk said softly " Carlos tale care of my boy ?" Owen asked " always Owen ." Carlos said " love one another don't give up on a good thing." Owen said with those words Tk gave his father a deep hug as Owen placed a kiss on his cheeks then administered the dose

The clouds just begun to separate letting the sun through as Tk saw his fathers hands slip off his helmet his father was gone Tk turned into a crying mess as he watched his father the man he looked up to most in his life now enter his final resting place Carlos's arms wrapping strongly around Tk as Tk buried his head in his chest Carlos feeling his husband's tears soak his shirt

Before he knew it the funeral home was going to take his fathers body to cremation like his wishes had been here tk sat in his fathers house crying as Carlos held him
