It was a difficult day for them. For many, it brought happiness, but for them... Valentine's Day was more melancholy.

Michael would think of Paula, of course. Of the Valentine's Days they had spent together, before her death. He would think of their unborn child as well, considering how things could have been so different, if he was a father.

Pieter tried to be as unobtrusive as possible, not wanting to infringe on her place in Michael's heart. It was cliche, but they truly had no need of Valentine's Day; every day was a celebration, a blessing. Every battle survived was a miracle.

They went together to Paula and the unborn child's - Terry's - graves. Michael laid roses, and Pieter prayed for them.

They didn't say a word to each other.

But then, they had never had to.

awww! :( Beautiful and heartbreaking. I love that they don't have to say a word to understand each other - it shows that they share a special, deeper bond, and I really like that. :D

That's beautiful, I love the quiet moment and I'm so glad Pieter can be with Michael and not intrude on his privacy, just be there for him.

:( Michael breaks my heart, damn. I love how Pieter can be here for him without intruding on his pain, but still... giving comfort and showing that he cares. This is very beautiful, Star. Awesome Valentine's fic :)
