A/N: Thanks for the reviews on the last chapter - this next one kind of got away from me and I couldn't stop writing it! But all that happens, I really couldn't edit out and leave on the cutting room floor so to speak.
I've worked out this will probably be about fifteen chapters long, and there will be a few chapters that I will upload the same time as "Not Alone" (the Blaine story finding his happiness) because what happens in this one and also that of the other one, go hand in hand with one another and therefore can be read as that of a pair really.

So anyway, enjoy this chapter and thanks for reading.
Love,
KJ xoxoxoxoxo


Wednesday morning, after waking up, having breakfast and both then getting ready; Mikki was in the bedroom going through the closet trying to find something to wear so that she could go and see them at her old television station and maybe possibly get a job there again.

As she was going through the clothes she had, pulling a dress, skirt or whatever else out; when she decided she didn't like it instead of placing it back in the closet, she instead threw it on the ground around and behind her, so much so the bed was almost practically covered in half her wardrobe now.

"No, not that" said Mikki, as she threw a black pencil skirt to the ground, and then grabbing a red short dress that was a little on the revealing side and throwing it also. "Definitely not that"

"Babe" said Sebastian, as he walked out of the bathroom and caught the dress she had thrown. "Red's not my color"

Mikki looked at him and sighed. "Sure it is"

"Okay" replied Sebastian with a laugh, and put the dress on the bed and then went and wrapped his arms around her. "It looks like a bomb exploded in here"

"Well I have nothing to wear" said Mikki, with a sigh.

"You have way more clothes now then when you left" said Sebastian, with a laugh.

"Right" replied Mikki. "But yet still nothing to wear"

"You know this what you're wearing isn't bad" said Sebastian, with a smile pulling her long brunette hair around to behind her shoulder and then kissed down her neck.

"I'm not going to rock up to my old work in just lingerie" said Mikki, with a laugh and turned in his arms and kissed him.

"Oh they would totally rehire you for sure if you did" said Sebastian, kissing her.

"Okay, you're no help at all" replied Mikki, lightly shoving him. "I don't want to look like I am trying too hard, but then I don't want to look like I am not trying to look like I'm trying"

Sebastian looked at her and laughed. "You look amazing in whatever you wear, so you really don't need to worry about any of that"

"Hmm" replied Mikki, looking at him with a smile and kissed him. "Still don't know what to wear though"

"What about that dress you were wearing when I saw you in San Fran" said Sebastian, looking at her. "You looked amazing in that"

"This one" said Mikki, taking his hands from around her waist and picking up a purple dress from the ground near her.

"Yeah" replied Sebastian with a nod. "Looked good in all the right places"

Mikki looked at him with a smile. "I totally knew you were checking me out that day"

"Well I did kind of have to look at you, you know to actually see you" replied Sebastian, with a laugh.

"So this one you think then?" asked Mikki. "Cause I also have it in green"

"Why do you have the same dress in two colors, babe?" asked Sebastian, with a laugh as she grabbed the green off the ground.

"Because like you just said, I look good in it" replied Mikki, with a laugh. "Which color the green or the purple"

"Purple" said Sebastian, with a nod; and Mikki threw the green one down again and slipped the purple one on.

"Zip up please" she said, turning so he could do the zip up the back and also the two eye and hooks as well.

"You know I am much better at zipping down" replied Sebastian, with laugh as he placed a kiss to her shoulder as he zipped up the dress.

"Yes, well if you're lucky, you might just get to do that tonight" said Mikki, with a laugh of her own and turned in his arms again. "Look okay"

"Oh yeah" replied Sebastian with a smile and kissed her. "Do you know how hard..."

"Can we refrain from using that word" said Mikki, with a laugh.

Sebastian looked at her and laughed. "Umm, how about difficult"

"Better" replied Mikki, with a nod. "Continue"

"How difficult" said Sebastian, kissing her quickly. "It was for me not to do this when I saw you in San Fran when I saw you"

Mikki smiled as he kissed her and ran his hands down her back, the two of them getting caught up in the kiss.

"Okay you're going to ruin my makeup if we continue this" said Mikki, pulling away with a laugh and looking at him, and then moved out of his embrace to grab a pair of black heels from the closet and sat on the bed to put them on.

"Yeah" replied Sebastian, with a smile. "You good now, this is okay"

"Uh huh" said Mikki with a nod and stood up also grabbing a black jacket and putting that on too. "Let's go, huh"

"Umm what about the cyclone of clothes in here?" asked Sebastian with a laugh as Mikki took his hand the two of them walking out.

"I'll clean it up later" said Mikki as they got to the living room. "You're going to be late for work and I want to get down to the station"

"Maybe put some clothes in the closet in the other bedroom" said Sebastian as he grabbed his keys and phone from the coffee table.

"Yeah might give some more room in that one in our room" said Mikki, as she also grabbed her handbag. "It's kind of more cramped now"

Sebastian looked at her and nodded, the two of them walking over to the apartment door; and Mikki opened it.

"Yes that is because you have way too many clothes" said Sebastian, with a laugh as they both walked out of the apartment and he closed the door.

"Well that's more for you to take me out of now" said Mikki, with a laugh as they started to walk down the hallway to their cars outside; but Sebastian turned back pulling Mikki along with him. "And that is not an invite for you to that now, work remember, focus here"

"No not that" replied Sebastian, with a laugh getting his keys out of this pocket and unlocking the door and opening it. "Is that all you ever think about woman, ravenishing me?"

"Maybe" replied Mikki, with a laugh as Sebastian walked into the kitchen area of their apartment. "What are you doing? I thought you bought lunch, unless there was leftovers which we don't have at the moment"

"Yeah I do that still" replied Sebastian, with a nod and opened up one of the cupboards where they kept glasses and reaching to the back and grabbing an old glass that was filled with keys. "But you kind of need this"

"Key, right" said Mikki, with a laugh as he put the glass back up in the cupboard and then walked over to her, wrapping his arm around her waist and kissing her; as Mikki took the key and laughed. "Aww it's my old Tweety key, you kept it"

"Yeah, I did" replied Sebastian with a laugh. "Now it's official, you have your key back and I am never letting you leave again"

"Don't worry I won't" replied Mikki, with a smile and kissed him quickly and then grabbed her car keys from her handbag, and attempted to try and get the key on to it with that.

"Give it here" said Sebastian with a smile, and Mikki handed them to him with a smile also. "What would you do without me?"

"Hmm, I'm not sure" replied Mikki with a smile, as Sebastian slipped the key on to the ring and then handed them back to her. "But I don't I want to know a life where I don't have you in it"

"Me either, you" said Sebastian, kissing her quickly and then taking her hand. "Now we can go"

"Yeah" replied Mikki as they walked out of the apartment again, and this time she closed the door behind them. "You're going to be late"

"Victor won't mind" replied Sebastian as they walked down the hallway and then headed downstairs to where their cars were. "I'll just tell him that my girlfriend wasn't able to keep her hands to herself this morning"

"More like you weren't" replied Mikki, with a laugh; as they walked over to their cars.

"Okay what if we both weren't" said Sebastian as he unlocked his car, and then wrapped his arms around Mikki, quickly kissing her.

"Well that's probably a little more truthful" said Mikki with a smile and quickly kissed him back.

"Yeah it is" said Sebastian with a laugh. "I'll see you tonight"

"You will" replied Mikki as she unlocked her car and opened the door and went to get in car, but Sebastian grabbed her hand and pulled her in towards himself and she looked at him with a laugh. "Seb"

"Just need one more of these" said Sebastian and kissed her.

Mikki laughed as she kissed him back. "Okay you got your kiss, now go; you're extremely late now"

"Yeah love you babe" said Sebastian as he let go of her and went to get in his car.

"Love you too hot stuff" replied Mikki, with a smile. "I'll call you later, let you know how goes"

"Okay, bye" replied Sebastian with a nod as they both got into their cars.

"Bye" yelled Mikki as she shut her door; and then they both headed off from their apartment, Sebastian to his work and Mikki to see if she might possibly be able to get a job again at her old television station.

Getting to work a little later then he was actually suppose to start, mainly because he had to go and get that of a gift voucher for the spa that he had apparently gotten one from for Mikki's birthday, a year ago; and thankfully had been able to get the staff to back date the purchase of it for him when he had explained the circumstances of it all, Sebastian walked into the office and immediately upon seeing him, Ellie who worked as the legal secretary and paralegal at the firm walked over to him and gave him a light shove.

"I cannot believe you didn't tell me" said Ellie, looking at him. "And I had to find out from Victor that my best friend was back in town"

"I'm sorry" said Sebastian, with a laugh. "But you can't put all the blame on me here, Mikki didn't tell you either"

"Well because clearly you two haven't been able to keep your hands off one another for the past three days, and forgot to tell the people who care about you the most" said Ellie with a laugh also.

"It's just been so surreal" said Sebastian, looking at Mikki's best friend since college and one who over the years also he had come to call a close friend as well; and who dated Robbie who also worked as a lawyer where they both also worked. "I mean never in a million years did I think we'd be back together"

"But you secretly hoped for it, right" said Ellie, with a smile.

"Of course I did" said Sebastian, with a nod. "But for her to actually come back here and us actually being together again, I never would have even begun to imagine it being possible"

"Hmm I don't know" said Ellie with a laugh. "Honestly you and Mik, I don't think could have ever stayed apart. You don't spend six years with someone and not have it be something special"

"Yeah, and I think we both realised that" said Sebastian with a smile.

"It's nice to see that smile again" said Ellie, with a smile of her own and a laugh.

"What I've been smiling since before today" said Sebastian with a laugh. "It's not like I have been going around with a perpetual frown on me"

"No" said Ellie with a laugh. "It's just that smile of complete happiness that you have now, and also the somewhat cheeky one at the same time. The Seb I remember from college that one"

Sebastian looked at her and laughed. "What can I say besides I am really happy right now"

"Yes, and I'm so happy that you're happy" said Ellie, giving him a quick hug. "Even though I did kind of have to ring up my friend Emily and tell her that this great guy I was planning on setting her up with, got back with his ex girlfriend"

"Sorry" said Sebastian, looking at her.

"Don't be" replied Ellie, shaking her head as Victor and his daughter Rebecca or Becky as she preferred to be called came out to where they were. "She was fine with it"

"Sebastian" said Victor with a warm smile.

"Hey Victor" replied Sebastian with a smile. "Thanks for letting me have the last two days off"

"Oh more than happy to" said Victor with a nod.

"Is what my dad said true" said Becky looking to Sebastian. "That Mikki's back"

"She is, yeah" replied Sebastian, with a nod looking to Victor's youngest daughter who had down's syndrome and worked in the office with them.

"Ellie" said Becky, looking to the other girl. "You're taking me shopping with Mikki coming too"

"Rebecca, manners please" said Victor, looking to his daughter.

"It's fine Victor" said Ellie, looking to her boss with a smile and then looked at Becky. "I always take you shopping Becky"

"Yes, but not with Mikki cause she went away" said Becky.

"She did for a bit yeah" replied Ellie, with a nod.

"Right, but she back now" said Becky. "So we can all shop again, Mikki is funny"

"Are you saying I'm not funny?" asked Ellie, looking at her.

"No you serious" said Becky, shaking her head.

"Okay, well maybe if I can talk with Mikki, we might be able to take you shopping this weekend" said Ellie. "They have sales on"

"Okay, we go then" said Becky and gave her a hug. "Thanks Ellie"

"You're welcome Becky" she replied.

"Okay Becky, let Sebastian and Ellie do some work" said Victor with a laugh.

"Yeah, I probably have a heap of it" said Sebastian with a laugh of his own.

"Well let me know if you need a hand with any of it" replied Victor.

"I will thanks" said Sebastian, with a nod; and Victor and Becky headed back to his office.

"Hopefully you and Mik hadn't planned anything for the weekend" said Ellie, looking to Sebastian. "Since I have kind of just promised Becky that she and I would take her shopping"

"Apart from probably spending the whole entire time in bed with her" said Sebastian, with a laugh. "Then no"

"That is stuff I really don't need to know" replied Ellie with a laugh.

"Honestly it's fine" said Sebastian with a laugh also. "I'm sure Mikki would love to go shopping with you and Becky again. But please do not let her buy clothes, her wardrobe has doubled since she left and there is no more room in the apartment"

"Well that's because Mikki is a stress shopper, when she is upset or something, she shops, so maybe she was doing that in San Fran" said Ellie, with a laugh.

"Yeah, that's true" replied Sebastian with a nod. "Senior year when she was stressing over final exams, she went crazy buying books; and we literally had to buy like four bookshelves for the apartment for all of them, and even though she did take some when she left, I'm pretty sure it wasn't four boxes full of them, like she has bought back with her"

"Hmm, she was stressed definitely" said Ellie, with a nod.

"Okay well since she's not anymore, then here's hoping that she won't do that now" said Sebastian with a laugh.

Ellie looked at him and laughed also. "Well I can't hold any promises on that, she might not be stress shopping, but you know your girlfriend can't resist a sale"

"I know" replied Sebastian, with a nod. "And she can't resist me either, so maybe I should just be her stress relief then, it will sure be a hell of a lot better than that of a book"

"Okay yes not information I need to know Sebastian Smythe" replied Ellie, with a smile. "Go do some work you loved up dork"

"Yeah, I should" said Sebastian with a nod. "I'll tell Mik to give you a call"

"Oh don't worry I can do that, I still have her number" said Ellie with a laugh.

"Yeah" replied Sebastian, with a laugh, and started the walk to his office as Ellie also headed back over to her own desk, both smiling happily that their girlfriend and best friend were back home and in their lives once more.

#RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY#

Mikki drove to the studios of WZRB, and after parking in the visitors car parking; walked through the main doors of the studio building and over to reception, where Jessie who had been the receptionist back when she was there last was sitting at the desk.

"Hi Jessie" said Mikki, as she approached, and Jessie looked up at her.

"Oh wow" replied Jessie, with a smile when she saw who it was. "Mikayla Kapowski, hi"

"Hi" said Mikki, with a laugh.

"Yeah" replied Jessie, with a laugh. "Are you in town for Thanksgiving? And thought you'd come by and see the old gang here?"

"Umm, I'm back in town, yes" replied Mikki, with a nod. "And I was actually hoping that Tom was available to speak with"

"Yeah, he's here" said Jessie, with a nod. "I'll just give him a call and see if he's able to talk"

"That would be great" replied Mikki, with a smile; and Jessie connected a call through to Tom.

As she spoke to him on the other end of the line, Mikki looked around that of her old studio's front offices with a smile; seeing that they still had the promotional poster up for that of the failed breakfast show.

"Tom, will be out in a moment" said Jessie, and Mikki looked at to her with a smile.

"Great thank you" she replied, with a smile of her own.

"So how's San Francisco?" asked Jessie. "I've seen some of the clips for the show you are on now online, and it's looks like you've been having a great time there. I mean you got to go to Hawaii and also San Diego Comic Con that must have been so amazing"

"It was amazing, yes" replied Mikki, with a nod; as the doors that lead out to that of the studios opened and Tom walked out and over to Mikki.

"Well, well" he said. "If isn't one of our former journalistic starlets Mikayla Kapowski, back in our studios again"

"Yeah, hi Tom" replied Mikki, with a smile to him. "How are you?"

"I'm good" replied Tom, with a nod. "Yourself?"

"I'm great, wonderful even" said Mikki with a nod.

"That's good to hear" said Tom with a smile. "Jessie said you wanted to talk?"

"Umm yeah I mean if you have the time" said Mikki, with a nod. "But I do really need to speak with you"

"I have time" replied Tom, with a smile and nod. "Why don't you come on out back and to my office there and we can have a chat"

"That would be great" said Mikki, with a smile.

"Okay" replied Tom, as he started to walk and Mikki followed him out to the back of the studios and his office which was located towards the end of the corridor, with all that studios that they used for filming different shows leading off from there as well.

Mikki smiled as she looked at the various headshots of the studio talent, past and present that lined the walls of the corridor; even seeing that of hers still on the wall.

"Please take a seat" said Tom, as he opened his office door and walked inside; and Mikki followed him taking a seat in front of his desk, as Tom went around behind and sat in his chair.

"The last time, I was in this office" said Mikki, with a laugh. "Was when I told you I was resigning from the network"

"Correct" said Tom with a nod. "And you're here now because you want a job here again, am I right in assuming that Mikayla?"

Mikki looked at him with a laugh. "How have you come to that conclusion?"

"Well I know you're not the type to be that of a corporate spy and come here and take notes on one studios running practices and take them back to another" said Tom, with a laugh.

"No, I'm not that" replied Mikki, shaking her head with a smile.

"And if I am to be at all honest" said Tom, with a smile to her. "I like to keep tabs on my former employees when they move on from here, make sure they are happy and doing well"

"Okay" replied Mikki. "I just don't know how you would think I'd be possibly looking for that of a job here again?"

"I might have happened to catch that of your last show, the Friday before last" said Tom, with a smile.

"Oh" replied Mikki with a laugh.

"And why you didn't elude exactly to where you new job was apparently in South Carolina" said Tom. "I do have a feeling that there may not have been one and you returned home for that of other reasons more than work"

"Whilst obviously a job is important" said Mikki, with a laugh. "You're right, in your guessing I returned home for more than that"

"The guy you were living with" said Tom, with a smile. "I just can't seem to recall his name"

"Sebastian" replied Mikki with a nod. "And I realized, well I guess I always kind of knew it really; that I never stopped wanting to be with him and that's why I came back home"

"I thought at much" said Tom with a nod of his own. "I must say I was quite shocked when you came into my office a little over a year ago giving your resignation to me"

"It wasn't that I wasn't happy here at WZRB" said Mikki, looking to Tom. "I just felt so worthless after being on the morning show here, and then all of a sudden made part of the writing team again for the news; that I did begin to look elsewhere for jobs, I will admit that"

"And can I ask what in the world made you think you and California were a good fit, Mikayla?" asked Tom, with a laugh.

"Honestly I don't know" replied Mikki, with a laugh of her own. "But I guess it taught me a good life lesson, in the end; and that this is where I belong and you shouldn't try and change things that can't be changed"

"That is very true" said Tom with a nod. "Messing with the whole grand design of things, it tends to have consequences that aren't always good"

"Like creating a whole other reality" said Mikki, with a laugh.

"Yes" replied Tom, with a laugh also. "So I am guessing you might be looking for that of employment"

"I am" replied Mikki, with a nod. "But I also completely understand if you don't have anything to offer me, after all I did flake out on you once already"

"I'm pretty sure you won't flake out on us again" said Tom, with a smile.

"No" replied Mikki, shaking her head. "I'm definitely here to stay now, I know where my home is and I know where my heart is"

Tom looked at her and nodded. "Whilst at the moment there are no presenter roles going, I am willing to give you a job as a research assistant, which is a little more than what you were when the morning show finished at that of the writing news reports; and I think given your talents and field of expertise that is a much more suited position for you"

"Yeah that would be amazing" replied with a nod. "Thank you"

"There is one other small condition of this" said Tom.

"Okay" said Mikki, looking at him.

"When Haley goes on her holidays over the Christmas period, for three weeks" said Tom, with a smile. "I want you to take over her role"

"Haley, does the news throughout the day, and any breaking stories during as well" said Mikki, looking at him, not really believing if she was hearing was true and that he was giving her the opportunity to be on the air.

"That's right she does" replied Tom, with a nod. "And I was going to get Susan who does the mornings, up until noon to continue through to four o'clock; but I think you can do an excellent job at it"

"Okay wow" said Mikki, with a laugh.

"So does that mean a yes Mikayla?" asked Tom, with a laugh. "Can we welcome you back into the WZRB family"

"Definitely yes" replied Mikki, with a nod. "Thank you so much. You really don't know how much this means to me"

"I think a lot" replied Tom, with a smile. "And to be completely honest, I'm glad you're back as well. You are a natural at what you do Mikayla, and who knows where you will be in a few years time"

"Thank you" said Mikki, with a smile of her own.

"You're welcome" replied Tom with a nod. "And now down to the business end here, I obviously don't expect you to start back in the next few days, take that time to be with Sebastian and your family; after all that is why you did come back here"

"Yeah" replied Mikki, with a laugh. "So start next week then?"

"Monday, if that is good with you" said Tom. "Firstly as research, but I will get you to over the next few weeks also shadow Haley, not that I really think you need it; but just for that of transitioning over smoothly"

"No, it sounds perfect" replied Mikki, with a smile. "Thank you so much, for this. You really didn't have to offer me a job when I spectacularly flaked on you before, but it means a lot that you are willing to have me here again"

"Well you were always a valued WZRB team member" said Tom, with smile of his own. "And we're just happy to have you back with us"

"Yes" replied Mikki with a nod.

"I will get all the contracts and paper work organised and then you can sign it first thing on Monday morning" said Tom.

"I will be here" replied Mikki, with a smile.

Great, well have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow" said Tom, standing from his chair and going around to where Mikki was and she also stood. "And I'll see you Monday, bright and early"

"Bright and early" said Mikki, with a nod and held out her hand to Tom, who shook it.

"Welcome home Mikayla" he said.

"Thank you" replied Mikki, with a smile. "See you Monday"

"Monday" repeated Tom, with a nod; and Mikki walked out of the studio head's office; and as she left that of the WZRB studios, seeing Jessie out front and telling her she would be back Monday morning, she couldn't help but smile, as she felt she really was back where she truly belonged.

#RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY#

After having spoken with Tom at WZRB and accepting the job she was offered by him; Mikki who had seen that there was a missed call from that of Ellie and also a text message, from her as well asking to call soon; headed to the law firm office building, after grabbing some lunch for herself and also Sebastian from Groucho's Deli; another place that she had really missed whilst she had been in California.

Walking in through the front door, Mikki smiled as she walked over to Ellie's desk. "Hey stranger" and Ellie looked up at her and shrieked and stood up, as Mikki placed down the paper bag she had; racing around to that of where Mikki was and throwing her arms around her best friend and hugging her.

"Oh my god" said Ellie, as Mikki returned that of the hug from her friend. "I can't believe you are actually back home"

"What can I say I missed this old place" said Mikki, with a laugh.

"More like you missed someone" replied Ellie, looking at her with a smile.

"Yeah I did" replied Mikki, with a nod. "I really did"

"Well I can tell you one thing" said Ellie, looking at her friend. "I honestly haven't seen Seb this happy since you've left"

"Really?" asked Mikki. "Not even when he was dating that other girl?"

"He kind of was, a little" replied Ellie. "But honestly it felt like he was pushing it too much and trying to be happy"

Mikki looked at her best friend and nodded. "I think that is what I was trying to do as well in San Fran, with Blaine; I mean I was happy and he is a nice guy, but I just didn't feel that complete and utter ease of being with someone with him"

"Yeah, them just knowing exactly what you're feeling without you having to say" said Ellie. "That feeling"

"That's the one" replied Mikki with a nod. "So is Seb is his office?"

"Yeah, haven't seen him come out yet to go and get lunch" replied Ellie, shaking her head.

"Okay, well I might have gone to Groucho's to grab myself some lunch" said Mikki, with a laugh.

"And you got Seb lunch as well" said Ellie, with a smile.

"Yeah" replied Mikki, with a nod. "Considering he's been off for two days, I figured he's probably got a lot of work to catch up on and I kind of feel guilty about that"

"That and it gives you an excuse to see him" said Ellie with a laugh.

"Yeah" replied Mikki, with a laugh also.

"Go then" said Ellie, with a smile to her best friend. "You remember where his office is"

"I do, yeah" replied Mikki, with a nod, and went to head to Sebastian's office. "Thanks"

"Oh wait" said Ellie, and Mikki turned back to her.

"Yeah?" asked Mikki, looking at her.

"I kind of told Becky that we'd take her shopping on Saturday" said Ellie, with a laugh. "She's really excited your back. I hope that's okay"

"Yeah of course" replied Mikki with a nod. "We always had fun taking Becky shopping"

"Okay, I'll let Victor know you said it's okay" said Ellie, walking over to her desk. "Now go and see your guy. But just remember where you are"

Mikki looked at her and laughed. "Okay I will"

Ellie laughed also as she sat back down and Mikki headed through to the offices and to Sebastian's; and when at his knocked on the door.

"Yeah come on in" came Sebastian's voice from inside.

"Hey you" said Mikki, opening the door, with a smile, and Sebastian who was sitting at his desk looked up at her and smiled.

"Hey" he replied, as she closed his door behind herself and walked over to him. "What are you doing here?"

"Hmm, I kind of wanted to see you" replied Mikki, with a smile and Sebastian pulled her down into his lap and she laughed.

"Missed me already, huh?" asked Sebastian with a laugh.

"Yep" replied Mikki with a laugh also and kissed him. "And I kind of had this feeling that you'd get so absorbed in that of your work, that you would probably forget to eat, so I stopped by Groucho's Deli and got something for you"

"You are amazing you know that" said Sebastian, kissing her.

Mikki looked at him and smiled. "Well I did have that of an ulterior motive as well"

"Oh yeah?" asked Sebastian, with a laugh. "And what was that?"

"I really miss their Rueben" replied Mikki, with a laugh.

Sebastian looked at her and laughed, and quickly kissed her. "I'm beginning to think the real reason you came back here, is because you missed the food more than that of me"

"You first" replied Mikki, kissing him. "But the food a very close second"

"Yeah" replied Sebastian, with a laugh, as Mikki got the two sandwiches out of the bag from the deli and she handed him one. "Brown moose"

"Of course" she replied, with a smile.

"You are so amazing" said Sebastian, with a smile. "Have I told you how much I love that you're back home"

"A few times" replied Mikki, with a smile to him also as Sebastian reached into his desk drawer and got out the gift voucher he'd gone and gotten that morning.

"Here" said Sebastian, handing it to her with a smile.

"What's this?" asked Mikki, putting down her sandwich and taking it from him.

"The spa gift voucher" replied Sebastian, and quickly kissed her. "I remembered I had it here, and I was going to give it to Karen or Brooke for Christmas this year, but I kind of figured that you might like it"

"Hmm thank you" said Mikki, looking at the voucher and then Sebastian. "I will definitely be using it, because those hot stone massages are to die for"

"Yeah, so how did it go at the station?" asked Sebastian, looking at her. "Did you see Tom?"

"I saw Tom, uh huh" replied Mikki, with a nod as she picked up and unwrapped that of her sandwich and took a bite from it, and chewed. "And he kind of already was prepared for me to come and see him I think"

"Really?" asked Sebastian, as he took a bite of the sandwich that Mikki had bought along for him.

"Hmm" said Mikki with a nod. "He kind of already knew that I had quit the show in California, as he happened to see the show Friday week; because apparently he likes to keep tabs on that of his ex employees"

"Okay, wow" replied Sebastian. "So job then?"

Mikki looked at him and nodded. "I think he was already prepared for me to come and see him, because he had no hesitation in offering me something"

Sebastian put down his food and wrapped his arms around Mikki, and kissed her. "See I told you there would be no problems, whatsoever"

"Yeah" replied Mikki, with a laugh, and put down her sandwich also and kissed him back.

"So what is the job?" asked Sebastian, looking at her.

"In the research department, which really is a lot better then what I was doing before I left; as I get to actually gather the information for the story, mark out what is the best parts and then pass on to that of the writers who then need to summarize it for air into like thirty seconds" said Mikki, with a smile.

"Sounds perfect for you" replied Sebastian, quickly kissing her.

"Hmm and that's not all actually" said Mikki, with a laugh.

"Not all?" asked Sebastian, looking at her and Mikki shook her head.

"Tom also asked me if I would do the on air news between twelve and four when Haley goes on break over Christmas" said Mikki.

"You're serious, right now" said Sebastian.

"Dead serious" replied Mikki with a smile and nod. "I will actually be reporting news, it will only be like three weeks; but it's still actually on air"

"Babe, wow" said Sebastian, and kissed her. "I told you were totally beyond amazing didn't I, and they would be stupid not to give you something"

"Yeah, you were right" said Mikki, with a laugh and kissed him. "So there are no worries anymore about my going anywhere again. You're stuck with me now"

"Believe me I don't have any problems with that" replied Sebastian with a laugh; the two of them kissing and not hearing his office door open.

"Not interrupting anything am I?" asked Victor, with a laugh.

"Nope not at all" replied Sebastian, looking at his boss with a laugh also; as Mikki laughed also.

"Hi Victor" said Mikki, with a smile to him.

"Lovely to see you again, Mikayla" said Victor with a smile to her as well. "You're well I take it"

"Yes very" said Mikki, with a nod.

"Is she here, is she here?" came Becky's voice as she pushed past Victor in Sebastian's office.

"Rebecca" said Victor, looking to his daughter as Mikki got up from Sebastian's lap and went over to her and Victor. "What have we spoken about in regards to manners"

"To use them" said Becky, looking at him.

"Yes" replied Victor. "Try to remember to use them"

Becky looked at him and nodded; and then to Mikki with a smile.

"You're back" said Becky, hugging her.

"I am" replied Mikki, with a nod and returned the hug. "And I believe Ellie and I are taking you shopping on Saturday?"

"Can you?" asked Becky, looking at her. "Please?"

"I think so, yeah we can do that" replied Mikki, with a smile to her. "What was it that you wanted to shop for?"

"Clothes" replied Becky. "And I want some new books"

"Oh well that happens to be my two areas of shopping expertise" said Mikki, with a laugh.

"You always know good books" said Becky. "Ellie doesn't have a clue to that"

"Well I did major in English" replied Mikki, with a smile to her. "So I probably should be well read"

"Are you sure you don't mind Mikki?" asked Victor.

"Not at all" replied Mikki, looking to him and shaking her head. "Ellie and I will take Becky shopping Saturday, and can get around to your place at about ten o'clock"

"Sounds fine" replied Victor, with a nod. "I take it you still know where we live"

"Yes" replied Mikki, with a nod also and looked to Becky. "How does that sound to you"

"Thank you" said Becky, hugging her again.

"You're welcome" replied Mikki, with a smile to her.

"Okay Becky, you've seen Mikki now" said Victor, looking to his daughter. "Now how about we let her and Sebastian finish lunch"

"Okay" replied Becky, with a nod. "Bye Mikki, bye Sebastian"

"Bye Becky" said Sebastian.

"Try not to keep Sebastian from too much work" said Victor with a smile to Mikki.

"I won't" replied Mikki with a laugh, as Victor and Becky left Sebastian's office.

"That's a really nice thing you and Ellie are doing for Becky on Saturday" said Sebastian, as Mikki walked back over to where he was still, and he pulled her down again into his lap.

"She enjoys it, that's the most important part" said Mikki, quickly kissing him.

"So what will you do on Saturday, whilst Ellie and I take Becky shopping?" asked Mikki. "You can come along if you want"

"No thanks" replied Sebastian, with a laugh. "I've been with you shopping, and it's like my worst nightmare"

"Thanks a lot" replied Mikki, with a laugh and quickly kissing him. "Note nothing for boyfriend to be bought"

"Oh I didn't say you can't buy me stuff" said Sebastian, with a laugh also and kissing her. "You totally can do that, just don't expect me to come and actually shop with you"

"Hmm, well that I can do" replied Mikki, with a smile.

"Yeah" replied Sebastian, and quickly kissing her. "And since Ellie is going to be leaving poor Robbie all on his own, he might as well come over to our place and we can play video games or maybe watch a game"

"Complain about how your girlfriends are buying stuff they really don't need also, that sort of thing" said Mikki, with a laugh.

"Yep" replied Sebastian. "Be just like old times"

"Hmm, like this is like old times" said Mikki, kissing him. "Me coming here to your work and us doing this"

"Uh huh" replied Sebastian, with a smile. "I've missed this"

"Yes me too" said Mikki with a laugh. "And I really should get going"

"Victor won't mind if you stay" said Sebastian looking to her with a smile.

"How much work will you get done with me here" said Mikki, with a smile and quickly kissed him. "Doing this"

"Probably not much" replied Sebastian, shaking his head. "You're right, you should go"

"Yeah" said Mikki, with a nod. "So I will grab the rest of my sandwich, eat it in the car on the way to the shops; because I did notice that you really don't have that much in the way of food in the apartment Sebastian Smythe"

"Most nights I just grabbed takeout" said Sebastian, with a smile to her as she put the remainder of her sandwich back into the bag she had come in with. "I wasn't going to cook for just myself"

"You did sometimes though, cook?" asked Mikki.

"Yeah every now and then" replied Sebastian. "But most of the time it just didn't seem cost effective, and I found I would just waste too much. So if I wanted home cooking, I just went up to my parents on the weekend"

"Hmm, well no more takeouts for dinner" said Mikki, kissing him. "Except when I can't be bothered cooking"

Sebastian looked at her and laughed. "Hey, I'm not going to complain about you cooking, it along with so much more was one of the things I really missed about you not being here"

"The way to a man's heart is through his stomach right" said Mikki, with a laugh also.

"Believe me that isn't the way you got my heart" said Sebastian, kissing her. "But it sure isn't something I'm complaining about"

"Nope" replied Mikki, kissing him back. "Okay, love you and I will see you tonight"

"Love you too" said Sebastian, with a smile to her as she stood up. "I'll call you when I am leaving here"

"Sure" replied Mikki, with a smile to him. "I'll see you tonight"

"See you tonight" replied Sebastian, with a nod; and Mikki left his office to head off to the supermarket to grab that of groceries; her life maybe more of that domesticated now then it had been in San Francisco, but she knew that she would have it no other way.

#RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY##RBHTY#

That night after getting home from work, to find that Mikki had dinner already in the oven, and was reading one of the many books she had bought back with her from California; whilst still wearing what she had been that morning, and therefore honoring her promise of letting Sebastian take her out of the dress; the two of them now dressed that of more casually, were eating the Dutch Hot Pot that Mikki had made.

"Yep, definitely have missed your cooking babe" said Sebastian with a smile to her as he ate.

"And like I said today hopefully other things you missed too" said Mikki, with a laugh.

"Oh definitely" replied Sebastian, with a smile to her. "What we did before dinner that I definitely missed"

Mikki looked at him and laughed. "Well we sure worked up an appetite that's for sure"

"Yep" replied Sebastian, with a nod. "And I know we can definitely work off this here tonight as well"

Mikki looked at him and laughed, as her phone started to ring over in her handbag.

"I should probably get that in case it's work calling" said Mikki, looking to him with a laugh. "Even though Tom did say all good until Monday"

"Yeah don't want to think you're flaking out on them already if it is" said Sebastian with a laugh and Mikki got up and went over to her handbag, and grabbed her phone out and looked at the caller id and saw that it was Kurt calling and she laughed. "Actually it's Kurt, so I should probably answer it"

"He will get pretty mad if you don't" said Sebastian with a laugh, as she sat back at the table.

"Hey Kurt" said Mikki, upon answering the call.

"MIKAYLA ANNE KAPOWSKI" screamed Kurt on the other end.

"Gees Kurt, a little warning next time when you're going to scream at me" said Mikki. "I would like to keep my hearing"

"Even I heard that" said Sebastian, with a laugh and Mikki looked at him and smiled.

"Well do you care to explain this silly face pull photo collage post on Facebook I am seeing?" asked Kurt. "Of you and Sebastian which reads, 'Love this adorable dork so much, missed him heaps. Glad to be back home where I belong'. At first I just thought it was an old photo you reposted, but no then I see it's from yesterday and that you're in South Carolina. What the hell Mikki"

"So like it says, I'm back home in South Carolina" replied Mikki. "And with Sebastian again"

"Okay what?" asked Kurt. "Just a few days ago you were in San Francisco, and with Blaine. What in the world is going on here?"

"It's kind of a long story" said Mikki with a laugh. "One I am probably going to have to explain over and over again too many people"

"Oh I have time" replied Kurt. "And you are telling me. Now spill it"

"Fine" said Mikki. "But I am just going to put you on speaker 'kay, cause I am in the middle of eating dinner"

"Okay yeah if you have to, that's fine" replied Kurt.

Mikki looked at her phone screen and hit that of the loud speaker button and then placed it down on the table. "Can you hear me Kurt?"

"Yeah I can hear you" said Kurt. "Now talk, you owe me an explanation here"

"Right" said Mikki as she quickly grabbed her glass of wine and took a sip.

"Hey Kurt, how are you?" asked Sebastian with a laugh as Mikki drank some of the wine.

"Sebastian?" asked Kurt.

"Yep the one and only" he replied with a laugh.

"Yeah hey" said Kurt. "How are you?"

"Me I'm great" replied Sebastian, with a laugh and looked to Mikki with a smile.

"So Kurt you want to know what is going on here?" asked Mikki.

"Yes please" said Kurt, and Mikki nodded looking at Sebastian with a smile.

"Okay well three weeks ago, Seb came and saw me in San Fran when he was there for some work; and naturally I invited him over to my apartment there for a coffee; which Blaine then got to know from Puck and he came storming around there and basically accused me of cheating on him with Seb" said Mikki.

"You're with Seb now in South Carolina so clearly something has happened like that" said Kurt.

"You're interrupting me Kurt" said Mikki, as Sebastian laughed; knowing that if there was one person who could keep Kurt's sometimes snarky attitude in check it was Mikki. "Do you want to know this or not"

"Sorry" replied Kurt. "Continue"

"Right, so" said Mikki, looking as Sebastian and giving him a quick smile. "Blaine and I got to an argument of sorts, about him not trusting me and then it turned to that of accusations about each other's past relationships, all whilst Seb is in my apartment, and Blaine and I said fine we're done with another. Which at that point I was kind of in denial about what had just happened, so Seb took me out to lunch at the cheesecake factory, and I might have got a little drunk"

"No you got really drunk babe" said Sebastian with a laugh. "You know what Long Island Iced Teas do to you"

Mikki looked at him and laughed. "Yes, well you let me have three of them didn't you"

"Oh Sebastian" said Kurt, with a groan. "Two and she is already all cuddly and clingy Mikki, why would you let her have three"

"I thought with the food it would have been okay" replied Sebastian. "But Mik's a lightweight when it comes to liquor"

"Yes, continuing what happened now" said Mikki with a laugh. "Seb got me back to my apartment and I convinced him to stay with me"

"She tried kissing me Kurt" said Sebastian.

"Shush you" said Mikki, looking over to her boyfriend and he smiled at her.

"Did you actually kiss him?" asked Kurt.

"No, he wouldn't let me" replied Mikki. "So I took him to my bedroom instead"

"Mikayla" said Kurt.

"It wasn't like that at all Kurt" said Mikki, with a laugh. "We just slept I was really drunk"

"You know she snores too Kurt, when she's drunk" said Sebastian, with a laugh and Mikki kicked him in the shin under the table. "Owww"

"You kicked him didn't you" said Kurt, with a laugh.

"Yep" replied Mikki, with a laugh also.

"But for the record he's right" said Kurt. "When you're drunk you do snore"

"Told you" said Sebastian, looking to Mikki. "She has never believed me on that"

"I know right" said Kurt, with a laugh also.

"Okay keep this up you two" said Mikki, with a smile. "And story time over"

"Sorry" replied Kurt with a laugh. "Go on"

"Woke up, headache from drinking three iced teas. Seb stayed for dinner, pizza; but then kind of realized that I wasn't really able to drive as I was still kind of hung over, so he stayed the night at my apartment" said Mikki.

"And did you guys you know?" asked Kurt.

"No we didn't have sex Kurt" said Sebastian, with a laugh. "Give me some credit here, Mik had just kind of I don't know broken up with Blaine, and it would be completely wrong to even think about going there"

"Even though he clearly wanted to" said Mikki, looking to Sebastian with a smile. "And I really wanted to as well, but we kept our hands to ourselves"

"She lies, she did cop a feel Kurt" said Sebastian, with a laugh. "I felt so used"

"Oh my god" said Mikki, looking over to Sebastian with a laugh. "Shut up"

"You love me" said Sebastian, with a smile.

"Okay, you guys are making me nauseous like you did in when we were in college" said Kurt. "What happened next? Did you just all of a sudden decide you want to be back home in South Carolina?"

"No, I didn't decide straight away" said Mikki, with a sigh. "I dropped Seb off at his hotel and we said goodbye, I went around to Puck's house like I would usually do so in the morning; and well that was awkward, because not talking with Blaine all of a sudden, and of course the others all picked up on it, including the girls that there was something going on"

"Well if you were normally one way with one another and then all of a sudden the complete polar opposite" said Kurt. "Then yes they're going to notice that"

"Right" said Mikki. "So this went on for a couple of days, and on Saturday I was talking with Seb over Facebook and I get a call from Beth, telling me that Alyson is up a tree in the backyard and she can't get down now"

"Why did she climb the tree in the first place?" asked Kurt.

"Oh it was part of their little plan" replied Mikki. "To get me and their uncle talking again, and for the sake of the girls we agreed to be friends; and as I was going to leave, Blaine just runs out jumps in front of my car and I nearly almost probably could have killed him here, and he tells me he is insane and he's sorry that he got jealous over Seb, but he still wants us to be boyfriend and girlfriend"

"And you said no to the last part?" asked Kurt.

"I did" replied Mikki. "I just felt as if my head and heart weren't in the same place with it, and so I said I couldn't do that. Which of course left him all pissed off with me again, and as of right now I am pretty sure he hates my guts entirely"

"Naturally" said Kurt. "I mean you've kind of broken his heart here I am guessing"

"Yeah" replied Mikki, with a nod. "But continuing on, so went home after all this happened and spoke with Seb again, and he told me the exact same thing I was thinking; and that was that I needed to follow my head and heart on this, which then over the next few days got me thinking to where I wanted to be and who I wanted to be with"

"And you came to the realization that, that was in South Carolina with Seb" said Kurt.

"Yeah" replied Mikki. "So having decided this on Wednesday last week after talking to Seb on the phone that night for a bit, I quit my job at the station there in San Fran on Thursday, effectively immediately but doing the show that day and also Friday, and I may have told them a small white lie that I had a job back home. Then spent the next four days organizing to get out of my apartment lease, hired a moving trailer for some of my stuff, and then on Wednesday drove away from San Fran and didn't look back"

"And what five days later, you're back in South Carolina" said Kurt.

"Yeah, I got here around midday on Sunday" replied Mikki.

"Wow" said Kurt. "And now you and Seb are together again"

"Uh huh" replied Mikki. "Kind of surreal right"

"Honestly, not really" said Kurt. "I was so shocked when you rung me just over a year ago and said you were ending things, and I guess there was a part of me that maybe always hoped you might find your way back to one another"

"Okay why is everyone saying that" said Mikki, with a laugh. "I mean our parents weren't shocked and neither were our brothers or sisters, literally why?"

"Because you're one another's moon and stars, that's why" said Kurt, with a laugh. "You can't literally not have one without the other"

"You're pretty spot on their Kurt" said Sebastian with a laugh.

"Yeah" replied Mikki, with a smile to that of Sebastian. "So are you home for Thanksgiving tomorrow?"

"No, staying here in Ohio and going to spend it with Dave's parents" replied Kurt. "But we will be there for Christmas"

"Well fancy that so will I" replied Mikki with a laugh.

"Yeah gee wonder who you're spending it with" said Kurt with that of a laugh also.

"Okay we are definitely catching up then" said Mikki, with that of a smile in her voice.

"Uh huh" replied Kurt. "Are Ellie and Robbie going to be there as well, come Christmas"

"Pretty sure they will be" said Mikki. "Haven't really sat down and had long talks with many people here yet, except that of our parents, and we also saw Jeremy and Karen last night too"

"You haven't seen Ellie yet then?" asked Kurt.

"I saw her today" replied Mikki, as Sebastian poured that of more wine in both their glasses. "And we're actually taking Becky shopping on Saturday"

"That's the girl that has down's syndrome" said Kurt.

"Yeah it is" replied Mikki. "She apparently has missed shopping with me"

"Well I'm sure you and Ellie will make sure she has heaps of fun" said Kurt.

"Definitely" replied Mikki.

"So Sebastian?" asked Kurt, on the other end of the phone.

"Yes Kurt?" asked Sebastian.

"When's the wedding?" asked Kurt, with a laugh.

"We're not engaged Kurt" said Mikki, with a laugh. "I'm totally happy with where Seb and I are at the moment, and that's just being back with one another again"

"Hmm, yeah it's going to happen soon though" said Kurt, with a laugh. "There's no way you guys are ever going to let one another go again"

"That's true Kurt" replied Sebastian, with a smile to Mikki. "But we don't need rings and all that to know we love one another and want to be with each other"

"Exactly" said Mikki, with a smile to him also.

"Okay well I should go" said Kurt. "I can hear Dave's home from work, and I have chicken in the oven"

"Sure Kurt" replied Mikki. "We'll talk soon, and say hi to Dave for us"

"Yeah, I will" said Kurt. "Love you guys, and I'm so happy your back together"

"So are we Kurt" said Sebastian, with a smile to Mikki.

"Yeah, and we love you too Kurt" said Mikki.

"Bye guys" said Kurt.

"Bye Kurt" said Mikki, with a laugh and ended the call.

"And again another one not surprised" said Sebastian, with a laugh.

"I think Kurt was literally one of the most shocked when we broke up" said Mikki as she stood again from the table and took her plate over to the kitchen and placed the now empty dish in to the dishwasher.

"I doubt there was literally anyone who wasn't wondering what we were doing when we broke up" said Sebastian, as he went over to where Mikki was and placed his dish also into the dishwasher.

"I think it was the biggest mistake of our lives" said Mikki as she closed up the dishwasher and wrapped her arms around Sebastian. "But I do think it has made us so much stronger and we now realize that we are one another's everything"

"You are that, my everything" said Sebastian, kissing her.

"You're mine too" replied Mikki, with a smile and kissed him back. "Okay, let me put the remaining of what we have left here in the freezer, and then we can watch something before bed"

"Sure babe" replied Sebastian, quickly kissing her on the cheek. "I was still halfway through Torchwood"

"That's fine" replied Mikki, with a nod and Sebastian headed into the living area, whilst Mikki packed up the leftovers to freeze; before the two of them watched some television before heading to bed.


End Note: Thoughts on the chapter - as said this is turning out to be a little longer then I initially planned it to be; but I am just having too much fun with the crazy evil what if, that I can't stop myself.

Next chapter should be up soon, as well as updates on a few other stories.

Love always,
