A/N: For the P100 challenge 271: Worst Day Ever. Part of my Dreams Of Yesterday drabble series and how could this not be this? Thanks go to Fred for looking it over for me.


James had watched in awe when Steff sat the boys down and told them mummy wasn't well. She'd handled them – and him – perfectly that day; and he hoped he'd manage the same calm explanation when he had to tell them mummy wasn't coming home.

He had thought those were the worse days of his life, but he'd been wrong.

James managed to keep his emotions suppressed as he took the condolences of his family, friends and co-workers when all he wanted to do was fall to his knees by Steff's grave and howl his grief to the world.

[fredbassett]

Oh no, poor James and poor Steff.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* I've been mean to them again. I think those days would be the worse for James so had to go with them.

Thanks again for the beta and for reading.

*passes a tissue* Sorry but it had to be. I can't think of anything else that would be worse than this for James.

Thanks for reading.

[kristen-mara.livejournal.com]

Yes, it had to be this... The poor family...

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Sorry, those really were the worse days in James' and his family's life.

Thanks for reading.

[raptor-moon.livejournal.com]

Very sad...but I agree, for this 'verse those would be the worst days.

Heart-wrenching. It must have been so difficult for him to suppress all his pain in front of others when he was grieving inside.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Sorry. James is a master at control, but he found it very hard.

Thanks for reading.

[celeste9]

Oh God, how painful! Poor James!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* I'm being very mean to him.

*howls for James*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, James should join you but is too stubborn to let go.

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

Poor Lester!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I'm being very mean to him.

Thanks for reading.

[fififolle]

I find this utterly heart-breaking. :((

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but I really had no choice in the matter. *hugs*

Thanks for reading.

*hugs Lester*
I don't know what is worse, the funeral or taking the condolenses afterwards. I have always have hated those polite phrases people say to you in such situation.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*Lester needs a hug, although whether he wants one...*

Neither do I, both are horrible.

Thanks for reading.

*chokes* *lost for words.*

I don't know what to say to this. It was so agonising and so sad and I can imagine Ben Miller pulling of this scene to perfection.

Well done, nicely done, excellent? Those comments don't really do this drabble justice.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Sorry. Good to know it worked and mm, yes, he could pull it off brilliantly.

*blushes*

[basched.livejournal.com]

Oh don't apologise! Its a perfect piece of writing!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Just sorry because it is sad and a mean thing to do to James ;)

*blushes* Thanks for the lovely comment.

[basched.livejournal.com]

It is, but we're all rotten to the characters we love.

And the lovely comment was greatly deserved. :)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I certainly am in this series (killed his wife and stuck him in the past - or possibly future).

*blushes*

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

Oh, meep *huggles Lester*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but these had to be the worst days in James' life. *huggles Lester*

Thanks for reading.
