Hey everyone! Sorry it has taken me so long to update I have been busy because it's the start of a new year. As always hope you enjoy and please read and review. Thankyou to everyone who has reviewed before and sticked with this story from the start, really means a lot! Ok so theres going to be Kandy fluff, kinda, in this chapter but don't worry all the Annabelle drama will come back next chapter. Also there will be Julie Kirsten bonding in the next few chapters.

Kirsten was released from the hospital later that week. She was so glad to finally be coming home, Seth, Sandy and Ryan too for that matter. With Kirsten in the hospital for the last few days things got a little bit hectic at home. Sandy was busy every minute rushing around trying to get his work done as well as taking the boys to school and attempting to keep the house tidy. Kirsten as well was dieing to get back home, back to her house, back to her family and back to her own bed. She hated hospitals with the uncomfortable beds, crappy meals and noisy machines. She couldn't wait to get back to a quiet house where she could finally get some sleep and relax and that's what she thought she was going to get, unfortunately for her the next week was going to be hectic and full of drama for her and her family, Annabelle was going to make sure of that.

"Ok so you've got everything", Sandy asked, from inside Kirsten's hospital room.

"Yep, now can we go", she replied, really eager to get out of there.

Sandy laughed at her enthusiasm to get home and headed out the door followed by Kirsten. They arrived back home and Kirsten was greeted by Seth, Ryan, Summer, Marissa, Julie and a huge Welcome Home sign.

"Welcome Home", they all said in unison with smiles on their face.

"Hi", Kirsten said excitedly giving Seth and Ryan a hug.

"So mum what do you think of the welcome home party", Seth asked.

"Well I don't know about a party but the sign, its definitely good, thankyou", she said unable to wipe the smile off her face.

"Yeah and I made it", Seth said in his usual sarcastic way.

Kirsten then made her way over to Julie.

"So, is it good to be home", Julie asked after receiving her hug.

"Definitely", Kirsten responded making Julie laugh. Summer and Marissa came up afterwards and embraced Kirsten with a hug.

"Congratulations on the baby Kirsten", Marissa said.

"Yeah and I'm really glad you're ok", Summer added, "You scared me for a moment".

Later that night, when everyone had left Kirsten made her way upstairs to her bedroom determined to get a good night sleep. She changed into her pajamas and hopped into bed. Sandy came up a minute later and gave her a kiss goodnight. He sat down on the bed and Kirsten cuddled up next to him.

"I'm so glad you're home", he said softly.

"I know, so am I", she giggled, "I like hearing you say it too", she said before giving him a kiss.

"Well in that case I am very glad that you are home", he said making her laugh, "I love you".

"Love you too", she replied smiling.

"Now get some sleep, we have a big day planned tomorrow", Sandy announced, tucking her sheets in.

"We have something planned", she asked confused.

"Yes we do, first a delicious bacon and eggs breakfast followed by a trip to the supermarket then a lovely picnic lunch at the beach, how's that for romantic".

Kirsten sniggered, "Ok so we're going for a romantic grocery trip".

"Ok so that's not exactly romantic, but, we do need the food for the picnic", Sandy announced, "So what do you say, you think you'll be up for it".

"I'll be fine", she answered.

"Cause if your not that's totally understandable I mean you just got out of the hospital and you", Sandy started but Kirsten shut him up but covering his mouth with her hands.

"I'll be up for it, ok I'm fine", she reassured, "No you get going, I need my sleep".

With that Sandy left the room and Kirsten was asleep in no time.

The following day was Saturday. Sandy woke up first to the loud snoring of Kirsten beside him. He rolled over gently, trying not to wake her and looked at the clock, it read 6:35, time to get up and make a start on breakfast. Sandy quietly got out of bed and tip toed down the stairs and into the kitchen.

Kirsten woke up and hour later and noticed that the other side of the bed was Sandy. She knew he hadn't gone surfing, he would be too worried if he left her alone after the injuries she had just received, she knew him all to well. Kirsten figured he had gone downstairs and started on breakfast. She didn't want to spoil it for him so she jumped into the shower.

She came downstairs a few minutes later to a very decorated kitchen. There were candles and flowers on the table and all the food and drinks had been served and set out on the table for two. Kirsten gasped at the sight of her kitchen, she couldn't believe how lucky she was to have him, he truly was one of a kind.

"Breakfast is served your highness", he said in a very English accent causing Kirsten to laugh.

"It's very impressive", she said, a huge smirk plastered on her face.

"So we have bacon, eggs, fruit, toast, waffles and if you would like, pancakes", Sandy announced gesturing for Kirsten to sit down.

"Can we just leave the pancakes out, I don't think I'll be able to fit it all in".

"Yeah, no problem", he answered taking a seat next to her, "Today is all about you so whatever you want".

After breakfast Sandy and Kirsten headed back upstairs to get ready.

"Oh my god my stomach really hurts, I cant even walk", Kirsten said, laughing, "I ate way too much".

Before Kirsten could say anything else Sandy had scooped her up into his arms and carried her into their room. He carefully dropped her on the bed and kissed her.

"Feel better now", he asked.

"Definitely", she giggled sitting herself up, "Come on we have to get ready, I for one am looking forward to this romantic picnic on the beach, just as long as there's less food".

They were both ready in the next few minutes and headed different ways, Kirsten to the pool house and Sandy to Seth's room.

"Knock knock", Sandy said at Seth's door.

"Come in", Seth called out.

"Hey", Sandy said, "Just wanted to let you know we're on our way out".

"Oh, ok", Seth replied.

"So what are you going to do today", Sandy asked.

"Ah probably hang out with Summer, Ryan and Marissa, I don't know".

"Ok well we probably wont be home till late so be good, have fun", he said before leaving.

"You too", Seth called out after him.

They met back up at the front door a few minutes later.

"Ready", Sandy asked.

"Yeah", Kirsten smiled, "Seth was ok about staying home by himself".

"Honey, he's seventeen", Sandy joked, "He'll be fine, I don't want you worrying all day ok you're supposed to be relaxing".

"Ok, ok from now on I'll relax".

It was 1:00 and they had just arrived at the beach. Luckily for them no one was around, perfect for a romantic picnic.

"Mmhhh looks like its just us", Kirsten announced.

"Perfect", Sandy responded laying out the picnic blanket.
