"I love you so much." Emma murmured into Jake's shoulder as she woke from a nap at his side. They had taken a picnic up to a hill behind the house and were enjoying each others company before they had to return to the house down the steep hill.

"Who you dreaming 'bout?" Jake teased.

"No one in particular." Emma grinned. "Just a handsome boy with blue eyes and black hair." She said running her fingers through his hair and tugging at a lock.

"Were is he I'll kill him." He teased back, pulling Emma on top of him and tickling her until she called truce.

"Jake?" Emma said hugging her knees and leaning into him.

"Yes Emma Bloom?"

"What do you think she'll be like?"

"Who? Raven?"

"Yeah, I mean will she be like you, or me. Or what if she looks like my father!? Or any of my relatives for that matter?!" Emma said sitting up looking worried.

"Don't worry Emma, I have good genes. Even if you don't." He joked, but Emma didn't find it funny.

"Jake, seriously! My father is still alive, and what if he finds us, he'll kill me for having a child out of wedlock." Emma said biting her nail and staring out over the landscape.

"He won't find out. And anyway, I promise that if he tries to hurt you or anyone for that matter, I will kill him. Ok?" Jake said pulling Emma down so she was resting on his chest.

"Ok."

They got their things packed up and headed down the hill, Emma carrying the tartan blanket and Jake the basket. About half way down the road, with trees in all directions and only a few friendly farmers having passed the couple, Emma doubled over onto the ground.

"Emma!" Jake said dropping his stuff and scooping her into his arms.

"Sorry Jake, just got out of breath. Lets just get home so I can rest."

"Ok, but I'm carrying you." Jake said.

"What about the blanket and basket?"

"Um... Oh! I know!" Jake said putting Emma down, and helping her onto his back in a piggy back manner. She was quite small and obviously as light as a feather, so holding her and the luggage would be easy.

"Ok, now, off we go!" Jake said marching towards the house. As the walked down many more familiar paths and streams, they both thought about the past month they had spent in their new home. The plush mattresses and hallway mirror with a crack in the top right corner, was second nature to them, and the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks during Raven's fits seemed to unfazed them by now. A month since Raven had been brought to the house, and a lot had happened. Many warm days filled with fun had kept them entertained, and the minor differences in Raven and even the younger children's attitude had improved. It was strange to think of them being the pale, dead looking children Jake had returned to on the boat in Blackpool. They were full of life, and with enough open space had learned to master their Peculiarities with Miss Peregrine's supervision. But something was missing for Jake...

The past few nights he had been waking during his sleep to see visions of his parents in tears, performing daily tasks. First it was his fathers phone call to his mother, then his father returning home, his mother crying, missing posters, even a memorial, and a few days ago a funeral. He had been seeing his old life fall apart, and in doing so made him want it back more then ever. Even if it was only for a few hours, he wanted to play Xbox, have an argument with his dad, go to school, work a job, even do PE. But ever night he would jump up in tears and Emma would coax him back to bed. He knew if it wasn't for Raven and Emma he wouldn't be able to live.

"I wish they knew." He said before they entered the house. Saying it in his head so many times had made it slip out.

"Who knew? Jake what are you talking about?" Emma said before turning the key to the front door.

"Um... I... ugh, my parents. They wouldn't be happy, but at least they would know." He said tilting his head down.

"Jake," Emma said wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing his forehead. "They would be happy. Raven is beautiful."

"She takes after her mother." Jake said putting his forehead on hers.

"She has your eyes."

"Your nose."

"Your paler skin."

"Your slender frame."

"Your hair Jake. Raven black just like her daddy's."

As they fell asleep that night, Emma couldn't help but think there must be a way, a way to bring them here. To meet Raven, see Jake, even...

"Miss Peregrine?" Emma said peeking into her study the next morning.

"Yes Emma?" She said putting her pen down and turning her chair towards her.

"I was just wondering Miss, Jake misses his family so, and it might be good for Raven, I was just wondering if maybe there was a way to bring them here?" She said pausing for a no, but was surprised to hear;

"Well, I didn't want to have to do this but, there is a way."

"Really! Like for real!"

"Emma please use proper English, and yes, yes there is. It is very hard, and my brother Caul and his minions were the first to do it successfully, well the first time recorded successfully. Well it involves pulling the people or person through a unbreakable time loop, which is easier said then done. It is a horrid process if you aren't careful and Caul was not which actually resulted in the person dying and the method is also horrible for the peculiar to perform. To do this you need 2 very strong, powerful Ymbrynes, and yes I am able to be one of them, and pull them through with coaxing and such. For Jacob's parents to come to us here would be very difficult as we are not in a loop but I do believe if I started one and pulled them through then we could catch up to you all in a day or so. This experiment is highly dangerous and I will need up to three weeks to successfully find an Ymbryne, get permission from the council, and then test it. Never mind finding Jake's parents and convincing them. Also a trained hypnosis would need to be called in afterwards, but yes there is a way to bring them here. Now if you want this done I would suggest closing your mouth, walk out of my office and don't breath a word about it until I give you approval. Good day Emma and please can you tell Olive that in 15 minutes to not set fire to the wicker basket in the living room?" Miss Peregrine said consulting her watch and then turning back to her letter she had been reading. Emma was left to leave astonished and overwhelmed with information.

Sorry the chapter looks short but it is actually really long and took ages as it all got deleted and I had to re-write the whole thing. But chapters will be shorter and this is more to do with family life not so much just Emma and Jacob. So sorry if you don't like it.
