Author's Note: Here comes the last part. It's short because, really, there wasn't much more to tell but I thought it would be nice to see them get home. Big thank you and shout out to melissaadams22 for her fantastic support and encouragement. Also, I'm working on a few new things that should be up in the next few days so please check those out. Thanks again for reading this and please review :)

Journey Home

Chapter 3 –

Magnus unlocked the front door to the Sanctuary and pushed it open. She stepped through and Will followed her. They paused for a moment inside and simply stared around at the cavernous foyer. After the horrendous few days they'd had, simply being home was a huge relief. Before they'd managed another step, Kate appeared, running down the main stairway.

"Hey guys!" she called. "Are you okay, Doc, Will?"

"We're fine Kate," Magnus smiled. "Thank you."

Will nodded and grinned tiredly at her. "Yeah, seriously Kate, thanks. I don't know what we would've done without you. I have no idea how we would've gotten home."

"No problem." Kate smiled, tucking her hands in the pockets of her jeans. She wasn't going to admit how rattled she'd been when she'd heard that the Doc and Will had spent the night stranded on an abandoned oil rig in the middle of an ocean.

Magnus ran a hand through her hair. "Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and take a shower and then go to bed."

Philip had woken both Will and Magnus when they'd arrived at the airstrip. She'd been surprised that she'd fallen asleep but not too worried but it. The plane that had been borrowed for them had been small, fitting maximum twenty people. Magnus greeted the pilot and confirmed their destination before flopping down into a seat midway down the plane. Being a private plane, there was decent legroom and one seat on each side of the aisle. Will sat down across the aisle from Magnus even though he had a whole plane to choose from. After the events of the day before and the argument that they'd had, he was reluctant to be too far away. He'd nearly drowned, Magnus had very nearly drowned and being separated from each other felt a bit scary, like they were going to lose each other again.

And again, they'd both fallen asleep almost before the plane had taken off. The pilot had woken them when they'd arrived and they'd thanked him before getting into a car that Kate had again arranged for them. They'd arrived home at five in the afternoon.

"Right, yeah. We'll see you in the morning." Will touched her arm and smiled.

Magnus nodded and turned away but before she'd taken a step, Kate spoke. "Doc?"

"Yes?"

"It's good to see you back safe." Kate seemed almost hesitant to speak.

Magnus smiled. "Thanks, Kate." Then she walked away, up the stairs towards her room.

Will focussed his attention back to Kate. "I might follow her example and jump in the shower. But I'm thinking food would be good too. Magnus may be able to skip meals but I can't. Do you wanna grab some dinner from the kitchen?"

Kate slapped him on the shoulder. "Sure."

As they made their way to the kitchen, Will sighed with relief. It was so good to be home.
