Break my heart.
A.N.: This is finally going to be completed! It's kind of depressing though…and it didn't start out that way. Hope it isn't to cheesy and that they're all [mostly] in character. anyway, read on and R & R as well.
Disclaimer: None are mine! Except for Aaron/Eric and Wendy his mother, everyone else belongs to their respective owners and this fanfic is purely for entertainment only.
PS: Thanks to all who reviewed!
"How are you?" Challenger wondered handing Marguerite a hot cup of tea.
"Better," she replied honestly. "I finally got my first real nights sleep."
"Eric!" Veronica roared, Marguerite and Challenger turned and saw Eric running down the hall towards the balcony.
"What do you think?" Challenger asked carefully.
Marguerite took a long sip of her tea, "I don't know if I'd feel right calling him Aaron."
"Marguite!" Eric shrieked, flinging his arms around Marguerite's knees. He looked to Challenger, "Onika bad," he said seriously and Challenger roared with laughter.
"Eric…" Veronica began slowly inching her way towards him, his baby bag was slung around her shoulder.
"No diapie!" Eric screamed scrambling until Challenger's chair. "No! No! No! Challenger, No diapie!"
"And Roxton?" Challenger asked a twinkle in his eyes; he felt Eric gripping his ankles.
"One step at a time my dear man," Veronica cut in, "one step at a time." She leaned over, "Boo!" She catching Eric under Challenger's chair.
Marguerite opened her mouth to retort, then thought better of it. She finished off her tea and stood up.
"He's outside!" Challenger called after her.
Marguerite strode out of the treehouse and saw Challenger was right. "John," she began softly. John turned around, mildly shocked to see Marguerite. "Sorry for how I've been acting these past few weeks…"
John shrugged, and slammed the ax down on the block of wood. "Understand the circumstances it could have been expected."
Marguerite took a step closer towards him, "but not necessarily deserved." Marguerite smiled, "as much as I hate to admit it," she finished quickly for good measure. Before John could reply she winked. John dropped the ax and slipped his arm around her shoulders pulling her into a half hug. He planted his lips on her cheek.
"ERIC!!!" Veronica screamed and the two leapt apart.
Suddenly it seemed…things were finally going back to normal.
