SaucyDiva: Yeah, Safe Harbor is one of the fics that was screaming the loudest at me to be written. I love the character of Nikki too.
HarryPassionFan: Poor Vadim, his wedding was ruined. As for what he'll do when Lizzie's is indeed proven to be Katherine, you'll have to read and see.
PurpleLeopard: No, I'm not going to kill Vadim. He's going to stick around for awhile.
Grumpyk: Tommy's not going to kick Vadim's butt. Not unless he has to of course. As for Kat, she's definitely not going to give up on remembering her old life.
Tommy's Mistress: Yes, there was a lot of drama and I hope I'm not spoiling this when I say more is surely to come.
Mark61: It certainly won't be boring when Tommy and Vadim meet.
GinaStar: Thanks, I hope you'll continue to enjoy it.
Millicent: Trust me, she's the real deal!
PurpleStrobe: I wasn't sure if anyone would catch that bit with Vadim correcting Lizzie about the wedding but I should have known you would.
Lushiouschell: I'm glad you think so.
ULTRA SONIC: Vadim's acting a bit selfishly because he doesn't want to lose Lizzie.
"Thanks so much for being here with me Mary," Lizzie said as they sat in the waiting room of the hospital.
It was few days later and Lizzie along with the Hillards was anxiously waiting for a doctor to give them the results of the d.n.a. test.
"Where else would I be, your whole life is about to be turned upside down, I'm actually surprised that Vadim isn't here with you," Mary replied.
"We got into a fight, he's having a really hard time especially since I told him I couldn't marry him until I sorted this mess out," Lizzie told her.
"I feel bad for him but does he really expect that you could just marry him and forget about your family," Mary remarked.
"They're not my family yet," Lizzie reminded her.
"But you want them to be don't you?" Mary questioned.
"Yes, I really want to believe that my search is over, I've waited so long for this and I really want them to be my parents," Lizzie told her.
"Just think, in a matter of moments you could have a family and a new name," Mary commented.
"Katherine, I still can't get used to it," Lizzie said.
"It'll just take some time that's all," Mary said with a smile.
"The doctor is here," Jack Hillard announced as he walked back from the nurses' station.
"I don't really need to hear what those results say, I know you're our daughter," Marie Hillard said.
"So what's the verdict?" Lizzie asked the doctor.
"Your D.N.A. is an exact match to that of Mr. and Mrs. Hillard and I am one hundred percent sure that you are in fact their daughter," the doctor announced.
"Are you absolutely sure?" Lizzie questioned.
"We knew what was at stake here so we ran the test multiple times and each test came to the same conclusion," he told her.
"I knew it, we have our daughter back," Marie said as tears began to run down her face.
"I don't know what to say," Lizzie said as she looked at the people she now knew to be her parents.
"It's ok Kat, we know it's going to take some time for you to get used to this," Jack told her.
"Please, can I hug you?" Marie asked.
"Um, sure," Lizzie told her.
"Oh my beautiful girl, I can't tell you how good it feels to have you back in my arms again," Marie said as she embraced her and Jack soon followed.
"I'm so happy for you Lizzie," Mary said as she watched the reunion.
"So what happens now?" Lizzie asked once they broke apart.
"That's entirely up to you," Marie said.
"We know that you've built a life for yourself here and we would never want to take you away from it and I definitely don't think your fiancé would be happy if we did," Jack told her.
"But it might help your memory to come back if you did come home with us," Marie interjected.
"She's right Lizzie, I think it would be helpful if you went to their home at least for a visit," Mary said.
"I need to talk things over with Vadim, he is my fiancé after all and any decision I make affects him as well," Lizzie replied.
Lizzie arrived back at the Barrett mansion and immediately went up the stairs to Vadim's room. She knocked gently on the door and waited for him to answer.
"What's the news?" he asked as he stepped aside to let her in and Lizzie took a seat on the bed.
"We're a match, they're my parents, we have scientific proof," Lizzie answered.
"I'm happy for you then, I know how much it means to you finally having a family now," Vadim replied.
"I never thought I'd find my family ever again and yet here they are, I never would have found them if it hadn't been for you," Lizzie told him.
"I didn't have anything to do with it, Jack Hillard is a business associate of my dad's," Vadim replied.
"Still if you hadn't proposed to me, there wouldn't have been a wedding to invite them to," Lizzie said.
"Speaking of the wedding, now that you have your parents back I assume we can move ahead with our plans," he said.
"Vadim, I can't, not yet anyway, they want me to go home with them and I think I need to go," she told him.
"So that's it, your parents show up and suddenly you don't need or want to be with me anymore," Vadim said.
"Please don't take it like that but I've lost nine years with them and if I have any hope of ever getting my memory back I need to see where I grew up, I need to be around the people who do remember me," Lizzie replied.
"Does that include your ex-fiancé?" Vadim asked.
"I really hadn't thought that far but yes I guess at some point he'll have to be told I'm alive," she responded.
"And what happens when this guy takes one look at you and decides he wants you back?" he questioned.
"Does that really even matter at this point, I can't even remember him, so even if he does want me back it's not like I'm just going to fall back in love with him," Lizzie said.
"Lizzie, I don't mean to be such a jerk about all this but I love you and I can't stand the thought of losing you," he told her.
"I know, I love you too and this is an impossible situation but I can't promise to make a life with you until I know which life it is that I belong in," Lizzie replied.
"I guess that means you've already made up your mind to go," Vadim said.
"Yes, I owe it to myself and to my parents to try and remember, I'll never be whole if I don't," she said.
"Then go, do what you need to do but I'll be here waiting for you, I still want you as my wife don't forget that," Vadim said.
"I won't," Lizzie told him.
"You have the most amazing smile you know that," Tommy told Grace as they strolled hand in hand through a park in London.
"Thank you, it's nice to have a reason to smile," she replied.
"Oh yeah and what's your reason Ms. Harrison?" Tommy asked.
"Well for months I kept having this amazing dream about a handsome paleontologist coming to London for a visit and it actually came true," she told him.
"And was there anything in that dream about the very handsome paleontologist doing this," Tommy said as he pulled her into his arms and gave her a passionate kiss.
"Wow, now what were we talking about again," Grace said once the kiss was over.
"I am so glad I finally came here," Tommy said.
"Me too, I was beginning to think you wouldn't," Grace told him.
"I'll be honest, it wasn't an easy decision but I realized it was the only way to prove to you that I'm ready for a relationship with you," Tommy replied.
"It really means a lot to me to hear you say that," Grace told him.
"I know and I meant every word," Tommy said.
"So I can finally shout to the world that I have a boyfriend," she joked.
"As long as you tell them the boyfriend is me," Tommy replied.
