MARK- “So, Peter, Seth and I have discussed this, and I shared everything with Seth regarding your brother and what happened, and we both agree that you need to stay on here with us and continue as the twins nanny.”
PETER- “Are you sure. I mean I would understand if---
SETH- “Mark is right, Peter, we want you to stay. I think that over time your brother will realize that what happened had nothing to do with you. And the kids really like you and have grown attached to you. You are amazing with them.”
PETER- “But what if Joseph continues to try and communicate with them?”
MARK- “Once he sees that you have control of the situation and are not going to let anything happen to them, I think he will rest and leave you alone.”
PETER- “So you think he is trying to help me take care of them because he thinks I could allow the same thing to happen to them as did him??”
MARK- “I think you may think that. But you have to realize that you are fully capable of helping us raise Logan and Jonas and that you would NEVER let anything happen to them. Once you realize that, then Joseph will too.”
PETER- “I think you are right. I think he is just worried about them.”
MARK- “I am sure he is, and so we need to make sure he knows that they are safe with you. And YOU need to know that Seth and I trust you and that you will not allow anything to happen to them either.”
Over a period of several months up through the next year, Peter began seeing less and less of his “brother” He also sopped appearing to the children. Regardless if it truly was the ghost of Joseph Lowenthal or not, Peter began to gain confidence in his abilities and in time realized that his brother’s accident was not his fault and Josephs “ghost” finally was able to rest in peace.
