Jaxsons P.O.V

It's been two weeks since I was discharged from the hospital. I've had to go back a couple of times for check ups on my ears and ribs. Kat says that my ribs are healing as they should be and my ears have basically healed. She did warn me that I may get some ear aches in the future but I'm good to fly. So we're flying back home tomorrow morning.

Grandma and Shelby are coming to stay with us for a few weeks to make sure that everything is okay. Dad is happy to have all of his children to be safe and home again. John couldn't be happier to get home and back to Connor. Scott on the other hand isn't that excited about going home. He's got really, really close with Kat in the month that he's been here. If I didn't know any better, i'd say he's fallen in love with her. He's currently spending the day with her, to say goodbye (but I very highly doubt that is what they are doing).

It's currently 6 in the evening and I'm sitting in the lounge with my legs tucked under me, a blanket over and shelbey is curled up next to me. I'm gently stroking Shelbey's fur whilst watching some really documentary called 'The Ivory Game', it's all about the ivory trade, which became a global concern a few years ago, pitting governments and environmental preservationists against poachers and Chinese ivory merchants. It's an okay documentary but I'm only watching it because there's nothing else on.

I was snapped out of my when the back of the couch moved. I let my head fall back and saw Johnny leaning on the back. He smiled and said
"Fancy a movie night?" I gestured to the TV and said
"There's nothing to watch, Johnny, i've looked" he the said
"What about these?" He then pulled two DVDs from behind his back. They were the IT series. I sat up and said
"No way, you found them. Where?"

"The charity store in town. So wanna watch them?" I raised my eyebrow and asked
"We got popcorn?" he stood up straight, held up a plastic bag and said
"I did a snack run, relax. We've got popcorn, buttered obviously. Some milk duds, red vines, skittles, oreos, Cherry coke, Fanta and Dr pepper. Anything we don't eat, we can always take home"

He then walked round the couch and went to put the DVD in. as he did I spoke softly
"John?"
"Yeah?"

"We've never been close, like I am with some of our other brothers and like how you are with them. So, why now?" he turned around and crouched down in front of me. He gave me a slight smile and said
"Well there's a few reasons. 1) Scott isn't here 2) You looked like you needed a distraction and 3) When we saw that message and you told us not to come looking for you, something in the back of my mind was telling me I would never see you again. Instantly I regretted not spending a lot of time with you when we were kids, or when we first moved to the island, or even when I was down from 5" I then lunged forward and gave him a strong hug, trying to hide the tears in my eyes. He wrapped his arms around me and returned the hug for a bit before saying
"Plus your favourite brother isn't here" I let out a small laugh and said
"I don't have a favourite brother"

"We all know it's Alan, so don't even try to deny it" he then pulled out of the hug and said

"Right i'm going to go cook this popcorn"

About 30 minutes into the second film, we heard the front door open and shut. John sat forward and paused the film as Scott came and sat down in the armchair. John then said
"Hey, you okay?" he ran his hand across his face and said
"Peachy" catching up on the hint that he wasn't in the mood for talking. I held out the bowl in my lap and said
"Popcorn?" he smiled slightly and reached over to take a handful. He took a handful, sat back and said
"So what we watching?" John then said
"We're about an hour into the second 'IT' film" he put some popcorn in his mouth, put his feet up and said
"Well don't stop on my account" John then sat back and pressed play.

The next day

We arrived at the airport at about 10:30, John set about loading up our things, Dad is running pre-flight checks and Scott is checking the flight plan and the costs of renting the jet hanger. I'm currently sitting on the hood of the car whilst grandma is leaning next to me. Seeing that John was at the back of the jet I spoke
"Grandma?" she looked up and said
"Yes sweetie?"

"Will things feel normal again when we get home?" she put her hand on my knee and said
"In all honesty, that's up to you sweetie. You need to let people help you, even if you don't necessarily want it, do you understand?" I just nodded. She then said
"It will get easier, I promise"

John then came back over and said
"Come on you two, let's get settled in the plane. Dads done checks and Scotty is just about done" I slid off the hood and followed John and Grandma to the plane. As we got to the steps, Scott came out of the admin office. Just as Scott was coming out of the admin office, a BMW Coupe pulled onto the runway. Scott didn't acknowledge the car as it came to a stop, but the rest of us could just about make out Katerina sitting in the car. John then said
"Lets get inside the jet, give them some privacy" As we walked on to the jet Kat got out of her car and called

"Scott hang on"

Scotts P.O.V.

"Scott hang on" I turned around and saw Kat walking over. I stopped and said
"What are you doing here?" I pulled her into my arms and held her close. She then said
"I have to tell you something" I pulled out of the hug and looked into her eyes. She had tears pooling in her eyes. I ran my thumb over her cheek and said
"Babe, what's wrong?" she took a step back and said
"Before I tell you, I just want to say that i'm not expecting anything. This last month has been amazing and I love you…" I cut her off by saying
"I love you too but your starting to worry me" She closed her eyes and said
"Scott I'm pregnant and you're the father" she then held up a pregnancy to prove it. I took it and just stared at it. She then said
"Look, I'm not asking for anything and I'm not asking you to stay but i'm having this baby. You can be as involved as y…" I cut her off by crashing my lips against hers.

When I pulled out of the kiss, I kept my hand on either side of her face and rested my forehead against hers. I then said
"This is my baby too and I want to be involved. I let you go once, I am not doing it again. I love you so much and I want to spend the rest of my life protecting you and our baby" She smiled and said
"Scott that sound almost like a proposal" I smiled and said
"In a way… marry me Kat and i'm not joking. Seriously I want you to marry me" she jumped into my arms and said
"Yes. Yes I'll marry you...
