Family is Home
Chapter 1
Allen walked through the European town with Timcampy flying over his head of white hair. As he walked down the street of shops he came across a flower vendor and stopped to grab something. Allen looked up to Tim wanting his opinion.
"Timcampy which one will she like best?" He reached for a red rose but Tim flew to his hand bitting it.
"Ow! Alright I see that one isn't an option. How about his white one?" Tim nodded in the air. Allen made his final decision and picked up three white roses wrapping the stems. He paid the vendor and sat on the bench across the street. Allen thought about how long he's been gone from home. He was currently on his way to the Order back from a three month long assignment to gather new pieces of Innocence. The Black Order has been short handed the last few years and they needed to find more accommodators. Allen had been assigned to find both along his journey. He found four new pieces but no suitable accommodators.
"This journey has been too long. We'll be home tonight Timcampy. I wonder how everyone's doing." Allen played with Tim's tail white chatting with his little golem friend.
"It would be so much easier to get home if I could use the Ark. Too bad the Order still won't allow that. It's been eight years since my connection to is was discovered." Allen reminisced to the time he and his friends found Noah's Ark in Edo and stopped it from disappearing. Allen laughed lightly at his memories.
"You'd think by now they would trust me to use it on my own. Oh well." Allen stood up stretching his arms. "Let's go Tim. Everyone's waiting for us to return home." With that Allen and Tim continued the walk home.
Lenalee ran through the long dark halls of the Order as fast as she could. Allen would be returning any day now and they've been apart for too long. She makes her way down the stairs to the long entrance hall and finds someone already waiting there. Lenalee quietly sneaks behind them with a playful expression.
"And just what are you waiting here for?" Lenalee rested her hands on the person's small shoulders leaning her head next to their's.
"Waiting for daddy to get home." The child accepted his mother's embrace and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Isn't he coming home today?" Lenalee crouched down to the child's eye level.
"Of course he is. He promised he would be home on time. We just have to wait a little longer okay?" Lenalee gave the child a warm smile.
"Yeah."
The large doors to the entrance creaked open slowly revealing someone coming through. Lenalee stood back up waiting for her beloved to finally arrive home.
"I'm home!" Allen shouted with his arms in the air and a grin on his face. The child was the first to react and rushed to his father. Allen saw this and crouched down with his arms open ready to accept the embrace. The child jumped into Allen's arm with a warm hug and started to cry.
"Daddy! I missed you!" Allen hugged his son even tighter hearing his loving words.
"I missed you too, James. I promise I won't go away for so long nextime." Even though Allen didn't know his next assignment he wouldn't be taking a long one after this. Being away from his family is worse than a level three Akuma fight. Allen looked up to Lenalee who was now standing only a few inches away. He lifted James and himself up to meet the woman's view. Lenalee moved closer to plant a long awaited kiss.
"Welcome home, Allen. We missed you." Lenalee embraced her husband and child in a group hug.
"I'm home, Lenalee. Happy to be back." The small family stood their for several minutes enjoying the presence of each other before heading up the stairs.
