Thank you all for your kind words! Got a few more chapters left...i go away on holiday (vacation) to the beautiful Greek island of...wait for it...Crete! lol if you remember that's where Michael and Sara had their reunion. I visited last year and going again this year as my Uncle and Aunt live out there and the whole family is going to celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary. Beach party and everything. We are going from Tuesday 21st to Monday 26th. But the good news is that i plan on having this story finished before i leave. So no cliffhangers or anything! I will have a think during my time away about what i want to do next. I potentially could do missing scenes from season 5...or i could continue this story. I might have a vote. :-) Let me all know what you think!

Another 5 hours later, they had pulled up to LJ's apartment. Coming into the city had been surreal. Going past all the places she remembered so well. All three of them remembered why they loved their hometown so much. It was a part of them and Sara was so glad that Mike had got to see it over the past week. But now all she wanted to do was hug her boy.

She had messaged LJ a few hours before they arrived, making sure they would be in when they got there.

Michel parked up and they all got out of the car looking up at the building. Sara was in awe, "Its beautiful" she remarked, looking up at the old building that had been modernised.

"Yeah my kid's doing good" Lincoln beamed and headed up the steps to the buzzer with Michael and Sara closely behind.

He pressed the buzzer for LJ's apartment and after a few moments a familiar voice came through, "Yeah hello?"

"Hey kid its us" Lincoln spoke back.

"Great, come on up" LJ replied and the main door clicked open.

A short journey in the elevator and they were at his floor, instantly before they even got to the door, it opened to LJ smiling at them. Straight away Lincoln gave his son a tight hug, closely followed by Michael and herself. LJ put a finger to his lips as a signal to keep quiet and they slowly walked into the apartment. It was impressive. Rooms to the left and on the right was a large open plan kitchen living area and right there, back to them, sat on the sofa was Mike. Completely unaware that anyone else was even there.

LJ gave them a wink and still signalled them to be quiet, "Hey Mike, what do you fancy for dinner tonight?"

From the sofa Mike shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know..." he sounded sad and Sara was worried, "...as long as i'm here for 7" it hit her heart. The time they had always called him since he had been away. Last night she had spoken to him and told him they would see him soon. Giving him no indication they were already half way there to them.

"Ah don't be like that buddy," LJ placed a hand on Sara's arm to let her know he was ok, "you just might see them sooner than you think"

"Mom would have told me. She promised-" he turned his head to talk to LJ directly and he saw them. A sudden smile appeared upon his face. Elation, "Mom! Dad!" he jumped up straight away and around the sofas.

Sara couldn't help herself, she instantly moved towards him as he ran at her. Even though he was 7, nearly 8 she picked him up in hug and he wrapped his arms around her tightly, "Aw baby I've missed you so much" she whispered kissing his face all over.

He giggled and slowly released from her and looked to his Dad who stood behind her. Without a second thought he ran at him and wrapped his arms around Michael's waist. Sara turned and saw the emotion on his face as he got lower and hugged his son tightly, holding the back of his head in the embrace, "It's so good to see you Mike" he whispered with his eyes closed.

Mike slowly pulled away and beamed, "Your here to visit?!" he got excited.

Michael smiled, looking over his shoulder at Sara who also smile, excited to give him the good news, "Actually buddy," he had his hands placed on his arms, "we're here to bring you home with us"

His mouth dropped open and his head turned to Sara to check if it was true, "Mom?!"

She couldn't help but smile ear to ear, "Yes baby. We're going back home, together" she agreed and got closer to him, leaning down and kissing his hair, "it's not been the same without you. Everything is ok now. Daddy fixed everything," she whispered looking at Michael, "just as he promised" she felt emotion come over her. Not just from reuniting with her son. But Michael doing just as he said he would to Mike. Have them be a family once and for all.

Mike looked up at her, "I knew it" he told her with confidence. Then he looked at Michael, "i knew you would do it" he then launched himself at Michael again and didn't let go. He slowly stood, Mike's legs wrapped around his waist and his arms around Michael's neck.

"You guys can stay for one night if you want? Seems silly to not spend time with you guys" LJ told them, "i can get the blow up mattress"

"That mean i have to share with you?" Lincoln asked teasingly and came over and gently stroked Mike's head that was rested on his Dad's shoulder, "hey Mikey"

"Hi Uncle Linc" he whispered, still not letting go of Michael. Something that completely pulled at Sara's heart strings.

"We don't want to be a bother, we can always get a hotel room" Sara responded placing her bag on the counter.

LJ waved it off, "Don't be silly Aunt Sara, your family. I want you guys to stay. Plus," he walked closer and ruffled Mike's hair, "get to spend one last night with my favourite cousin"

"I'm your only cousin" Mike responded from Michael's shoulder, to which they all chuckled.

"You alright buddy?" Michael whispered placing a hand on the back of Mike's head as he nodded in response to him. Michael wasn't used to it. But it was what Mike got like if Sara had gone away at all during his life. He wouldn't let go of her for ages when she returned. Now Michael was the one he clung too and she couldn't be happier. He got the Dad he never had, and he wasn't going to let him go now.
