When Kane left, I settled back down under my covers and Uncle Wayne and Elrond told me another story, one they knew of Uncle Mark when he was at school. The story involved Mum and Aunt Julia, Tracey and Stacey and Uncle Jake as well. When they had finished, they went back downstairs to have a talk with Mum and Dad. Boromir came up and gave me a daffodil flower in a vase. It was very pretty. Behind him were Arwen, Aragorn, Blue, Colan, Wendy and...
"Jandi!" I said, holding my arms out for a hug. She laughed and obliged. My room was now packed with visitors. After a while of talking and telling of what had happened, I drifted off to sleep, everyone left me alone, and I felt 'Uncle' Boromir kiss my forehead.
"Goodnight, Ria. Sleep tight." He whispered and closed the door behind him.
(Jamie's POV)
After all of Ria's visitors had left, except Elrond, Billee, Legolas, Wendy and Colan, Elladan, Elrohir, Arwen, Aragorn and the triplets, I sat down at the table and began to cry. I felt Arwen comfort me with am arm around my shoulders.
"I just keep thinking what might have happened if Damon hadn't taken her to the hospital." I said, my voice cracked from crying.
"I feel like I'm responsible for letting it happen. I allowed them to go out. I should have called them in when it got dark."
Arwen soothed me, and then stared at her oldest, Asta, who was sitting in her grandfather's lap. "The triplets were there. Asta. Kane told me that you ran when you saw the men, why didn't you come and tell me at once?"
"I was scared," said Asta, hugging Elrond. "I didn't mean to. I didn't think anything bad would happen to Ria or Kane. I'm sorry, Mummy, Dad, I'm sorry Jamie."
I gathered her into a hug and told her it was all right.
"J, we're going to go into town for a while, okay?" said Elladan, referring to Elrohir, Billee, Legolas and Colan, over time, they had come to like eachother. Which was a good thing. "Don't worry."
Arwen and Aragron took the kids to where they were staying. It was late afternoon and the children were still a little shaky from the day before. That left Wendy and Elrond with me. Frodo had taken Fortuna, Todd and Brodie to see Bilbo in Rivendell. Elrond said he was going back to his room at the Inn and left and Wendy stayed with me until Damon came back. Wayne and Elrond had both told me that Ria had wanted Damon to come back with Kane so she could thank him.
There was a knock at the door and I answered it, saying hello to Damon and Kane and Vince, who stood there. I invited them in and told the boys that Ria was sleeping. SO they went into the lounge room to watch Harry Potter, one of the movies that Ria got for her birthday.
Damon sat at the table and wouldn't make eye contact with. I didn't make eye contact with him either.
"Damon...I've been thinking over the past ten years. I know we hate each other to hell and back, but why? I've been thinking about since the moment I met you to now."
Damon scowled a little and looked at the table. "I don't know or care."
"But," I said, ignoring him. "The moment I met you, two days before Frodo and I got married, we hit off. We were good friends until I found out that you and EMma were together. I guess I just need a bit of time to explain myself. See, I think it might be because I knew Boromir a lot longer than you and I thought he would look after Emma better than you. Turned out I was wrong, didn't it. You are married now, with three gorgeous kids and a heap of friends. I guess I was just one big dope."
Damon looked at me for a few minutes. "I guess I see what you mean." he said, with a ghost of a smile on his face.
