A/N: This is set 5 years into the future when Henry comes back to Tucson. He gets his job back at Mode and Betty has gotten rid of her braces and had gotten contacts. And Betty was dating Gio the whole 5 years Henry was gone.

It was a Monday morning and Betty walked into the office to find no Daniel. So she walked over to the receptionists' desk.

"Amanda, where's Daniel?"

"In a meeting."

"With who? Its only 9 in the morning."

"The new accountist."

"Do you know who it is?"

"Not a clue but I'm pretty sure its Henry."

"When did Henry get back to New York?"

"Saturday I think. He needed a day or two to get settled in."

"When was anyone going to tell me?"

"We were going to let you figure it out on your own."

"Oh, thanks. When is the meeting over?"

"10 minutes maybe. Henry will be happy to see you."

When Betty left the receptionists' desk she tried to avoid Henry until they ran into eachother in the halls or at lunch. She did for as long as she could but it only lasted about a week until Daniel called her into his office to ask her to get him some lunch when she walked in to find Henry sitting at Daniel's desk.

"Oh, Henry, hi. When did you get back?"

"About a week and a half ago. Wow you look amazing I see you've gotten your braces off and had gotten contacts. There's something else different about you but I can't really tell."

"I lost about 20 pounds and I let Hilda get me a new wardrobe. How's your kid doing?"

"Zack is good. He's so much like Justin its kind of creepy. They'll get along great."

"You look good too. Your hair is slightly longer than I remember it."

"I'm sorry to interupt, but Betty I thought you were going to get me breakfast."

"Oh yeah I'm sorry Daniel. I'll catch up with you later Henry. Bye."

"Bye."

What Betty didn't realize is that she still loves Henry. But she couldn't leave Gio after all that has had happened between them. When she got downstairs she ran into Gio.

"Hey Gio"

"Hey Betty"

Light kiss hello.

"Did you know that Henry was back?"

"Who?"

"Eggsalad."

"Oh, yeah, eggsalad. No. Why is he back?"

"Yeah he's back. Thats why I asked you."

"Oh, well, what do you need?"

"An onion bagel with the cream cheese on the side."

"Ok. Here you go. I'll see you at home. Okay?"

"Okay, see you later. Bye. I love you."

"I love you, bye."

When Betty walked the bagel back to Daniel's office she ran into Henry.

"Hey Betty. Want me to walk back with you to Daniel's office?"

"No. I'll let you go get work done. I'll call you later so we can catch up, alright?"

"Alright."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Betty got back to Daniel's office with his bagel.

"Hey, Daniel, why did Henry come back?"

"He said that he wasn't making enough money and he missed it here... especially you."

Betty blushed.

"Oh. Well here's your bagel."

Betty went through the rest of the day in complete confusion. Wondering why would Henry would come back after 5 years.
