Dina smiled and walked over to the door, Kira felt her body shacking lightly in fear and something else she couldn't tell as the door slowly opened. As the large man stepped into the room Kira could see some resemblance. He looked like her-their-father. She could see him in this man, though she didn't say so. She didn't know how this person, Sam, would react.

" Hello. " He said, as he sat down, Dina took her seat, offering Sam an encouraging smile. " My name is Sam, your Kira right? " he asked and she nodded slowly, hesitantly. Could she trust him? She didn't know this man and she was expected to go with him.

" Um, I don't really know anything about you, at least not much. I hear your getting better though. " Sam said and Kira nodded.

" i'll be out soon. " Kira said, almost silently but somehow Sam heard her because he grinned.

" My wife Emily is really exited about that, she's already got plans to take you shopping. " Sam said.

" S-She doesn't have to do that. " Kira said, quickly. She didn't want people spending so much money on her, all the nurses had given her things that their kids no longer wanted or that they wanted Kira to have but she had always felt bad about it. Not that she wasn't great full for it though.

" Well if your not comfortable then you don't have to but its hard to get Emily to change her mind when she wants to do something. " Sam said, smiling at Kira and she couldn't help but smile back. He seemed to really love this woman, every time he said her name he got this glow on his face even the way he said her name showed how much he cared.

" We live in a small house in La Push Washington. On the reservation area. " he said and Kira nodded. " I think you'll like it there, Dina here told me you liked the outdoors. " Sam asked and Kira smiled.

" I like the woods. " she whispered and Sam grinned.

" Well, it so happens that were surrounded by the woods. " he said, in stage whisper making her giggle a little. He looked shocked but got over it quickly and grinned back at her. This was going very well, Kira was shocked and proud at herself, she hadn't had this long of a conversation with a boy since, forever without feeling scared.

Sam and Kira talked for awhile, then she met Emily and not soon after Kira had to lay down as she talked, falling asleep as she listened to her brother and his wife talk about everything back at their home. Kira fell asleep with a small smile, dreaming about what she would first do when she got there.

If someone had told Kira weeks before that she had a brother she would have laughed, maybe. But, she was glad that it was true, and that she really liked him. She loved Emily, she reminded her of her mother, sweet and caring and she could tell that Emily loved her already as well. Who knew this was going to be her life from now on. Kira's bag was all packed up, with all of the things she had, mostly clothes, she had changed into a clean outfit. A nurse had helped her with the makeup and her hair which she had thanked her, she wanted to make a good impression, Sam had told her that she would be meeting some of his and Emily's friends. He had told her that some were around her age, others were fifteen or sixteen, Kira smiled remembering when Sam had asked her how old she was, how shocked he had been when she told him she was seventeen.

" Kira, are you ready? "

She looked over to see Sam in the door, holding her bag for her and smiling, she nodded and picked up the headphones that Dina had given her, slipping them onto her shoulders, they were Bluetooth connected to the iPod that one of the boy nurses had given to her, not in person though, he had sent it to Dina who had given it to her and Kira had written a letter to the nurse.

" Yeah. " Kira said, she followed Sam out and as he slid the door closed she spared the room one last glance, she was glad she was finally getting out of the sad dull hospital but she loved the people here, maybe she would be able to visit here one day.

" Okay, here's my number, email, address, and my home phone. You contact me for anything, alright sweetie? " Dina asked, and Kira nodded, taking the piece of paper she held out to Kira, tucking it into her pocket.

" I will, thank you Dina. " Kira said quietly, she hugged her tightly and Dina teased her about making her cry. Kira got to say goodbye to a few of the others nurses, who weren't busy, and then Sam lead her outside to his truck. As Sam put her bag in the bed of the truck he smiled at her.

" I know you'll miss people here, so we'll visit. I promise. " He said and Kira smile back.

" Thanks Sam. " she said.

As Sam drove they sat in silence, it wasn't tense or awkward silence, it was comfortable, they spoke only a few times mostly Sam asking if she wanted anything, she fell asleep for a short while and the next moment Sam was shacking her awake telling her she was home.

" I missed the ride here. " she said, pouting slightly and Sam smiled.

" Didn't miss much, just trees. " He said, helping her step out of the truck, she yawned and he grabbed her bag, she looked over at the house and blinked in shock to see a small house with trees around it.

" Its small, but its home. " Sam said.

" I love it. " Kira said grinned and Sam sighed in relief. " C-Can I go in? " she asked shyly.

" Of course, this is your home too Kira. " Sam said, he gestured for her to go ahead and she did.

As she walked in she smiled, looking around, she had walked through a door that lead straight into the kitchen, she liked how homey it felt.

" Kira! Oh your here! " Emily cried in joy, as she hurried over to give her a hug, Kira smiled and hugged Emily back tightly. When Emily pulled back she grabbed Kira's face gently and smiled. " I am almost finished with the boy's dinner but yours is right over there, are you hungry? " she asked

" Yeah." Kira said shyly. " So their coming over tonight? "

" Yes, after patr-working they come here. Those boys get hungry very easily. Its like all they do is eat. " Kira laughed with Emily and they looked over as Sam stepped into the door smiling.

" Why don't I show you to your room Kira. " she said. " There's a lock on the door so you can lock all the boys out. " she said.

" Yeah, no boys allowed in your room. " Sam said, in a teasing voice but you could tell he was serious.

" You don't have to worry about that. " Kira said, her hands shacking as she remembered what had happened the last time a boy was in her room, when her mom was alive.

Emily led her down the hall, pointing out where the bathroom was on the way and then they stopped at a room in the back of the hall.

" I think you'll like it, all the boys and Sam worked on it right when we found out you were coming home with us, we want you to know this is your home now to. " Emily told her and Kira smiled, blushing in embarrassment at how much they seemed to care. Kira opened the door and covered her mouth with her hands in shock, grinning behind them, it was so beautiful. It looked like the inside of some cabin, she loved the polished look on the walls and the fact that she had windows that opened, at the hospital you could never have those. One of the windows was on the porch, so if Kira really wanted to, she could sneak out and go on walks through the woods, Sam and Emily would never know, she could lock the door turn out the lights and pretend she was asleep if they came to check on her at night, hopefully they didn't have a key.

" Do you like it? " Emily asked, grinning.

" I love it Emily, this is so great. " Kira said, getting teary and Emily hugged her close.

" Hey Sam! Did Em make dinner yet i'm starving! " a boy's voice echoed through the air. It looked like the boys had arrived, lets hope Kira could handle it.
