Ned could hardly believe it - right in front of him the tree house was enthroned in the treetop high above him. How long had he been away? He had soon stopped counting the days long ago. A lot of time had passed since then.
Now the sight of the tree house took his breath away, because he hadn't expected to see it again. At least not in this life. But he was back and felt a slight feeling of joy come up to him. But what would await him? Would something have changed, and above all: What about Veronica?
Ned knew he could only find the answers to all his questions up there, and so the entered the lift that started rumbling upwards. With every metre, Ned's eagerness grew.
At least he found himself in the tree house. The small part he could view from the lift seemed to be the same as he had left months ago. Voices came from the main room and so he went there.
When he entered the room, he first saw Challenger and, right next to him, Marguerite sitting on Roxton's leap. Their talk broke off when they noticed him and stared at him, not able to believe what they saw.
Ned looked around and stopped at the table, where Veronica stood with her back turned to him. Ned felt his heart beat fast; this was what had kept him alive the last months: The hope to see her again.
As if she felt his look on her - but maybe just if the others had stopped talking so abruptly - Veronica turned around. Her face went pale, but Ned didn't even notice it. His eyes were set on her belly - she was advanced in pregnancy.

Did you like it? Well, don't say it was very short. I know it is. And yes, it was just what I wanted, that you don't get to know where Ned has been etc. That's not important. * Please let me know what you felt when you read the story - especially the end. Thanx a lot!
