"Hello" Jarod said answering his cell. When the phone rang, he was in the kitchen making himself some lunch. He was alone in the house that he shared with his family.

"It's me."

"Miss Parker, it's good to hear your voice again." He had left his cell number on the back of the note with the CD that last time they saw each other "So what's new with you?" Jarod asks smiling at the sound of her voice.

"Nothing much still going on those wild goose chases Broots creates so the Centre thinks we're still chasing you. What about you?"

"Not much in fact, I was just about to make myself some lunch when you called." Jarod says, while putting away the items he had just taken out of the fridge.

"Well, I hope you weren't too hungry. How is everyone?" Miss Parker asks teasingly.

"The family decided to move in together you should see the house it's huge."But it still feels empty without you here, he thought. "I've actually got the place all to myself for once." Jarod laughs, happy for the break from the loving chaotic family life.

Just than there's a knock at the front door.

"You better get that." There was a smile in her voice.

"No,whoever it is can come back later, we're talking."Jarod tells her, not wanting to end their conversation.

"I can wait;anyway it might be important or even Chris wanting to catch up with Jess." Miss Parker heard the ringing of the doorbell over the phone.

"I didn't tell you did I? He's moved in with us, he shares a room with Nate. At first Jessica demanded that she and Chris share a room, because they were both mature to be alone together and not do anything wrong. She said that we should just trust them."

"Wow, how did Ethan and the others handle it?" She asks surprised

"He really didn't know what to do. Ethan wanted to do the right fatherly thing but at the same time he didn't want to come down on her to strongly. After all,she had spent half her life growing up with out any parents in her life. But our dad could tell that she was just testing her boundaries and set her straight. He said that there was no way that it was going to happen as long as she was under his roof"

"Did things settle down?" Hoping that they had.

"Jess continued to argue with him for days. If Chris hadn't saidhe was going to move out if she didn't stop.As he didn't want her to lose her family because of him, I don't know what would have happened"

"I always knew I liked that kid for a reason. Geese, Jarod, just how long does it take you to answer a door?" Parker asked as she could hear the sound of another impatient knock at the door.

"Hey, Ican't help it this house is big. The kitchen's on the other side of the house." And thinks if I take my time, maybe whoever is will go away. " Anyway I'm almost at the door now."

"Oh, so any luck in finding your mother?" she asked brushing a stray hair behind her ear.

"Actually she found us. The funny thing is that she was already living here. When we arrived into town dad and I had gone into town to pick up some food. There in the middle of the frozen food isle we saw each other and ran to hug each other." Jarod told her smiling at the memory of their reunion.

"I can just imagine the looks on the other shopper's faces." Parker says laughing.

"Yeah, hold on a sec, I've gotta open the door." he says fumbling with the lock.

"OK, just hurry up I still want to talk."

"Miss Parker, what are you doing here?" He asks shocked to see her standing on the other side of the door.

"Well, you did say, I was always welcome to drop, so I did you. You still want me here, don't you? Besides, you know how much I hate long distant phone calls." She says smiling slightly, while giving him a questioning look.

"Of course you are? What about Sydney and the others, they're still in danger."Jarod asks worried forthe rest of the people he cares about safety.

"I've already thought of that. They're currently crisscrossing the country as we speak so that the Centre can't track them down. They should be here sometime tomorrow." She told him proudly at her accomplished plan.

"That's good to hear." He sighed relieved.

"You know,I would never leave them there to be killed. So are you going to invite me in or are we going to stay here standing in the doorway till the others come back?" Parker asked tilting her head to the side with a raised eyebrow daring him to make the next move.

As he closed the door behind them, Jarod knew that no matter what happen from here on, his life and family were finally complete, now that his true love was finally apart of his life.
