Oh guys! Thank you for all the lurve! I've had a few people PM me and ask how I broke it. So just to let everyone know, I was running around in the yard with my nephew and I stepped right in a hole and it cracked. I think the noise was worse than the pain lol, but anyway, that's how it happened.

Chapter 6

Twins age: 4 years old

Kenzi smiled and closed the door to Trick's basement. The twins were downstairs doing their homework and Kenzi was happy she only had to tell them once. She took the beer Trick offered and lifted it to her lips.

"Thank you." She smiled and sat it down. He was smiling.

"I knew you could use it." He said. Kenzi laughed and nodded and went over to the pool table where Lauren and Bo were playing pool.

"So wow, Brooke's dad. Talk about surprises." Lauren said. Both Bo and Kenzi nodded. The door opening brought all their heads up again, taking the defensive just in case Victor had decided to come back for more. The face that appeared before them causing a collective gasp around the room. Attention briefly broken when Kenzi's beer slipped from her fingers and shattered on the floor, her hands coming up to cover her mouth as tears welled in her eyes. Dyson was standing there, a large smile on his face, Rebecca behind him smiling as well.

"Oh my god." Kenzi said as the tears broke free and ran down her face. She broke away from the group, running to him full speed and leaping into his arms. He caught her as she buried her head in his chest taking in his scent making sure it was really him, she wasn't just dreaming.

"Dyson. It's really you, oh my god Dyson." Kenzi cried, her arms squeezing him tightly. She pulled back and pressed her lips to his, kissing him deeply, he kissed her back, their tongues intertwining, as they pressing into one another. Kenzi could not get enough of him. She had missed him so much and she could hardly believe he was here, standing in front of her. Trick, Bo, and Lauren stood back tears in all their eyes. They refused to interrupt the moment between the pair. Kenzi deserved that moment. Kenzi pulled back and looked at his face as he let her slide to the ground, she framed his face with her hands and smiled through tear filled eyes at him.

"Dyson I can't believe it's you. I can't believe you're back. I…thought…oh Dyson." Kenzi said her arms going around him again. He chuckled and held her close to him. She was literally bawling in his arms. Something she had never done before, but this was Dyson, the man she loved, the man she had been searching for for four years.

"Oh, I'm sorry, damn I'm keeping you to myself." She said pulling back. His hands came up and he lifted her face in his hands.

"You're Kenzi?" he said in more of a question form. Kenzi's face changed a little, her eyebrows going up slightly.

"Yes, of course I'm Kenzi, who else would I be? Bone head." Kenzi said smiling.

"I'm sorry, you seem so amazing, and I know how you feel for me and I promise I'll work on remembering and trying to make this work." He said to her. Kenzi stepped back slightly glancing behind him to Rebecca wondering what in the hell was going on.

"Dyson, don't play games." She said warning him.

"He's not playing." Rebecca stepped up.

"He was in a coma for two years, he woke up this way. His last memory is of a crime scene, a dead man in an elevator, smiling like a crazed person." Rebecca said.

"My first kill here." Bo said.

"So he doesn't remember me?" Kenzi asked slowly, her hands dropping from his sides. Rebecca shook her head slowly to the girl.

"I don't, but I promise I'll try. Rebecca told me how much you care about me, and I can just see it in the way you act, I couldn't stand myself if I didn't try to make it work." He said. Kenzi's heart was breaking. He didn't remember her, didn't remember the love they'd had for one another. She didn't know what to do. What about the children? He didn't remember them either. But he was promising to try to remember. Here he was after four years and now it was Kenzi's job to make him remember.

"I um…I don't know what to say." Kenzi said looking down. She thought her troubles would be over the moment he walked through that door. But they were just starting. He took her hands in his and brought them up kissing over the knuckles of her hands softly.

"I'll try my hardest. I promise." He said, he stuck his pinky out and even the action surprised him. He'd never done that before. Kenzi's eyes widened, shocked that he'd remember that. He dropped his hand and smirked.

"Sorry, don't know where that came from." He said.

"No, no, the um…the first time we spent the day together and I was really sick I made you promise not to leave me and I made you pinky promise." Kenzi lifted her pinky back up. Dyson smiled and nodded.

"Then that's where it came from." He said looping his pinky through hers.

"Some things will be more cemented in his mind than others." Rebecca said stepping up. Kenzi nodded, she was happy he remembered some things.

"Dyson, I'm glad you're back." Bo and Lauren said coming over. Trick close behind them.

"Yeah I know you don't remember me, but uh, I'm Bo." She said sticking out her hand. He smiled and took it.

"Trick." Dyson said turning to the only really familiar face.

"You have no idea how good it is to see you." Trick said, they shared a hug.

"I need to call Hale." Trick said after the hug. He turned and hurried back to the bar.

"My children?" he asked Kenzi as he dug in his pocket and pulled out the photos. He turned one to face her. She smiled to it, it was the picture taken with her phone the day Jaxon had been taken out of the incubator.

"Yeah, look, come sit please." She said leading him to the table. He nodded and followed her. Bo and Lauren took Rebecca's arms and led her away, going to get her settled. They sat down across from one another and Kenzi put her hands on the table. Dyson reached out and took them.

"Is this ok?" he asked. Kenzi chuckled.

"It's fine." She said.

"Dyson this picture was taken the day Jaxon was removed from the incubator. He was very sick when he was born." She said slowly recanting the story.

"Ok look, let my start over." She said waving away that story, "With us." She said. He nodded along.

"We dated for two years. You know how you are, not going to try and tell you. So needless to say you got cold feet and took off. You kind of left me in bed one morning while I was still asleep and ran off somewhere." She said with a smirk.

"Damn, I'm sorry." He said.

"No, it's fine, we've been through this, you just don't remember." She chuckled.

"So after about six months of you being gone you show up here with your pregnant girlfriend, Brooke." She said.

"I don't remember her." he said shaking his head.

"That's fine, it's ok." Kenzi said running her thumb over the back of his hand. She recanted all the details of Brooke and how she had shot up while pregnant, then she told him about after they were born and staying in the hospital with them and then how they slowly got better. She told him about how they all moved into the house together so she could help him while he worked. She told him it all, every last bit, even the part about the night he went missing. He nodded his head along with her words, listening to every detail until she was finished.

"Wow, that's a lot to digest." He smiled. She chuckled and nodded.

"Yeah I know. So about the children." She smiled, very proud of them, she loved any chance she got to talk about them.

"They are four years old. Their names are Elysia and Jaxon, but I call them Ellie and Jax. You once told me your father called your mother Ellie." She said smiling. Dyson nodded and a smile appeared on his face again as he recalled the nickname his father had had for his mother.

"Anyway, both attend Molly Chandler's school here in the city. It's a Fae school, she picks them up and drops them off here. They are both so so very smart and I'm so proud of them for that. Ellie is incredibly independent, loyal, stubborn, and so pretty. She has your eyes and hair color as well as the curl. Jaxon is so handsome, he looks exactly like you except for his black hair, he is calm, cool, and very laid back." she said. Dyson chuckled and nodded to her.

"Wow, you've done an amazing job." He said.

"I've tried, and I've had a lot of help from Trick, Bo, Lauren, and Hale. We all love each other, like a big happy family. Oh!" she hopped up from the table and scurried across the room on her heels. Dyson watched after her smiling as she ran to her bag. No wonder he had fallen for her, she was extremely pretty, kind hearted, and very interesting. She was a wonderful person from what he could tell considering his children did not even belong to her and she had raised them in his absence. He watched her dig around him her bag and then retrieve something and return. She shoved a camera into his hands.

"This is just one tape, but I have every single little moment recorded for you. Birthdays, bed time stories, picnics, first words, first steps, first time eating solid food, first time eating baby food, every first you could imagine is recorded. For four years I've recorded every moment." She smiled. Dyson looked down at the camera and then smiled back up at her.

"You never believed I was dead?" he asked, unable to grasp the concept that this tiny human had had so much faith in him. She dropped her gaze to the table and it seemed she was trying to think of an answer.

"Kenzi?" he asked beginning to get worried when she didn't return her beautiful big eyes to his. She still didn't look up, he reached across the table and slid his hand under her chin and lifted her eyes up to his. He was shocked, her eyes were filled with tears and a few spilled over and rolled down her face. He lifted his thumb gently and wiped them away from her cheek.

"Hey, what's wrong?" he asked.

"There were times where I was felt like you might be gone, and I would try to move on, get past you, but I just couldn't because in my heart I knew you were still out there. I'm sorry, I'm blubbering like an idiot. It's just, I'm so happy your back." she smiled through the tears. He chuckled and took her hand in his while leaving the other on her cheek.

"I don't remember loving you Kenzi and I'm sorry for that, but I know what this feeling in my heart is. I may not remember all the times I've kissed you or held you but my heart does." He said slowly. Kenzi smiled and leaned in capturing his lips in hers and kissing him deep and gentle. When they pulled apart she nodded.

"Ok, do you want to meet Ellie and Jax now? You can watch these videos once we go home." she said. He nodded his head, he didn't remember them but he'd missed so much of their lives already he sure as hell was about to pretend he did.

"Ok, you might want to stand up, because they'll tackle you. One minute." She held her finger up and went to Trick's door sliding it open. Dyson followed her instruction and stood.

"Ellie! Jax!" she called.

"Ma'am?" they called back. Dyson smiled at the sound of their intertwined voices.

"Come up here, there's someone I want you to meet." She said. He heard pairs of feet bounding up the stairs and then they appeared at the door. Both of them gorgeous, smiling brightly.

"Hey guys, listen." Kenzi said kneeling down to their level.

"Do you know who that is?" she asked pointing. Their eyes turned toward him and if possible their smiles spread even wider.

"Daddy!" They shouted. Kenzi was right, they were on him in an instant, wrapping their arms around his legs and thighs, squeezing him tight and rocking him on his feet with the force of their hugs. He could not help but laugh and feel the warmth in his heart. She had told them who he was instead of just letting them forget. He copied her and kneeled down to their level.

"Hey guys." He said smiling to them.

"Daddy, I'm so glad you're back. Mommy missed you so much, but she always told us stories about you even though it made her sad." Jaxon said loudly.

"Yeah! She told us about all the times you helped her, and that one time she was sick and you," her voice dropped to a whisper, "turned into your wolf and laid on her feet because she was so cold." She said. Dyson smiled and nodded as they went on and on, telling him story after story. Kenzi just sat back and watched the children. She was so happy they had reacted so well to him. Her heart was repairing itself, she loved Dyson, and she would wait as long as she needed for him to love her back.
