Dedicated to my grandfather. We'll miss you abuelito! **************************************************************************** ******

Chapter 14: "A surprise, returning home and denial."

"Where's Jo and Aragorn?" Lauren asked at breakfast.

"Don't know. But last night Jo was acting pretty strange." Trinity said.

"I say that she attacked Aragorn from behind, tied him up and tossed him outside in the freezing cold. Then left him out there till he froze to death. She couldn't believe what she did so she stayed up all night thinking about it. Then finally around 7:00 this morning she finally fell asleep." Marley explained. Everyone stared at her.

"You watch too many movies Marley." Lizzy responded while buttering her toast.

"Fine I'll go look for her and Aragorn and if I don't find him I'm calling the cops." Marley said and got up. She wandered down the hall and up the stairs.

She stood in front of Jo's door. She then opened the door. Her eyes widened and she screamed.

"OH my god!" she yelled. She saw a naked Jo and Aragorn in bed. Together. Jo jumped and looked at who screamed.

"Marley!" she exclaimed.

Marley was terrified. She hadn't expected to see them together.in their state. Nor had she wanted to.

"Oh my god! My eyes. My eyes!" she said and quickly closed them and started to pace back and forth in the hall.

Jo quickly tied her robe around her and walked out into the hall. She closed the door. She grasped Marley and made her stare straight into her eyes.

"Calm down!" she demanded. Marley quieted, though still shocked at what she had seen.

"You.. and.. h.him. Were in bed.n.. n.naked!" Marley stuttered.

"Jesus Christ Marley! Like you've never seen two people naked before." Jo said crossing her arms over her chest.

"Ya.but not like I wanted to see you and him like naked! Hey what were you two doing together anyway.." Marley said.

"Well.you see the thing is." Jo said. But was interrupted by Aragorn appearing next to her. Fully clothed might I add.

"Hello Marley. I'm sorry that you had to see Jo and I in that situation." He said.

"See at least he apologizes." Marley said.

"You." Jo started but was interrupted by Frodo, Lauren, Jihan, and Trinity.

"Hey! Your alive!" Trinity said walking up next to Jo.

"What?" Jo asked exasperated.

"Hey calm down. I was just kidding. It was a joke. Marley thought you had killed Aragorn and yada yada and that's why she came up here. To see if he was alright." Trinity said.

"Oh Marley! Your so stupid!" Jo exclaimed. "You came up here for that damn stupid reason!"

"Whoa. Jo what's wrong with you. You seem angry." Lauren said.

"Angrier than usual." Jihan said. Jo gave her a look.

"Wait something's up.something happened between these three." Trinity said studying them.

"What!" they all said together. Frodo laughed at this and then stopped when he saw Jo's face.

Trinity was about to say something when a voice rang out.

"There you are! Amazing! It takes five people to find you two. Well now that we know your safe come downstairs and eat some breakfast! Come on! All of you." Shirley said happily. She started to motion for the others to follow. They did, including Aragorn. Marley was about to follow when Jo stopped her.

"Listen, Marley, I'd really appreciate it if you didn't tell this to anyone." She said quietly. Marley's dark brown eyes looked into Jo's gray ones.

She nodded. "Of course."

**************************************************************************** ******

"Oh! It's so sad! I just don't want to see you all go! You've all become like my children!" Shirley said at the airport with all of them. Isaac and Matthew were there to.

"Well we did have a great time here. Thank you for inviting us." Trinity said.

"Oh no! Anytime!" Shirley said.

"Hey!? Where's Pippin, Frodo, Sam and Merry?" Jihan asked

Then almost suddenly an announcement was made throughout the airport: " Will the four gentlemen who are riding the conveyor belt please get off or you will be under custody. Thank you."

They all turned to where the conveyer belts where with the luggage's. There Frodo, Sam, Pippin and Merry were laying on their stomachs riding it. (is it just me or have you all ever wanted to do that) They were smiling happily. Then a fat security guard saw them.

"Hey! You four get off of there!" he yelled. The Hobbits, startled, looked up. The security guard was walking toward them. They scrambled off and started to run. The security guard started to chase them. As the guys ran past them they stopped to say thank you to Shirley, Matthew and Isaac before continuing to run. The security guard passed them moments later huffing and puffing.

"Well we'd better go get them!" Lauren said.

" Bye Shirley, Matthew and Isaac." Jihan, Lauren and Marley said and hugged them. They than rushed after the hobbits and security guard.

Shirley sighed, looking at her daughter.

"Elizabeth. I'm going to miss you." she said and hugged her daughter. Lizzy hugged her back.

" I'm going to miss you too mom." She said. Then she pulled apart and looked at Matthew, as if studying him.

"Oh, Lizzy. It's so great to finally see you again. Too bad you couldn't stay longer." He said and grasped and engulfed her in his arms.

"Um.yeah." she said. Though her voice was muffled by his black over coat. She hesitantly patted him on the back.

"Final boarding call for all trips going to New York City. Check into gate D-5.Final boarding call." The voice said throughout the airport.

"Well I guess we better be going. Don't want to miss our flight." Lizzy said.

"Oh. I'm going to miss you, Trinity." Isaac said and then wrapped his arms around her and kissed her hard on the lips. Though most of his face covered hers you could tell she had on a surprised expression. Legolas grew furious. He yanked her out of his grasp.

"We should go! Now!" he said sternly and pulled her along.

"Whoa calm down Legolas! He was just overcome by emotion. It didn't mean anything." She said.

"OVER COME BY EMOTION! OVER COME BY EMOTION! I'LL SHOW YOU OVERCOME BY EMOTION!" Legolas shouted and stopped abruptly and pulled a random person walking by to him. He kissed them. It ended up being an old lady. Then he realized what he was doing and pulled away.

"Milady! I am very sorry!" he apologized. The old lady smiled.

"Oh. Why don't you show mama how sorry you really are!" she said and set her lips together and started to lean in. Legolas turned to Trinity, wide eyed. She had a bored expression on her face.

"Did you get something out of that?" she asked.

He shook his head. "No." he said.

"Lets go." She said and dragged him off.

**************************************************************************** ******

"Home! Lovely home!" Marley said and twirled around the apartment. It was near 11 o' clock at night and they had finally made it back to New York. Jo hadn't made a fuss this time on the airplane. Though you could tell when she was scared.

"Yes. And back to work tomorrow!" Lizzy said miserably.

"Hey that's part of life." Jo said and walked over to the blinking answering machine. Seven messages.

Message one: "Hey Jo, it's me, Susie, your sister remember. You haven't been calling me lately and I wanted ot see what was up. Where are you? Did you go someplace without telling me? This always happens! You go and do something without telling me about it and they you say something along the lines of 'I thought you were busy'. Well just because I have children DOES NOT MEAN THAT I DON'T LIKE TO HAVE.." The beep sounded, cutting her off.

Message two: FUN! SOMETHING A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE TO HAVE REGARDLESS THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE CHILDREN! You know what.. I'm telling mom. Yes that's right. M-O-M. Haven't talked to her in awhile huh? Ohh but she's sure been asking about you. never about me. Never wants to know how are you doing Susie. have you gotten a stable job yet. No it's always.." *Beep*

Message three: "Hey Trin, it's Jared. Just wanted to let you know I got married. To this hotttttt Asian girl named Su Ling. Doesn't know much English but hey.the connection was still there, in more ways than one if you catch my drift *chuckle* Gotta go. it is our honeymoon night you know. Call you soon."

Message four: About Jo! And about the children. Never about me! *starts sobbing* does anyone care about me anymore. I mean I try and try to make things work out with Charlie but he just keeps leaving and little Kyle had his first heart break and he's moping around and I don't know what to do. Then Sean decided to go into the sugar bag and eat all the sugar! I mean all the stress of raising a child. I don't know what to do! * Starts to cry hysterically*

Message Five: But you enjoy seeing me in pain don't you! * in an angry voice* you looove to see me suffer. It's always been like that. I mean I use to get all the boys and you were jealous! Admit it. And then you were soooo happy when you went out with Larry Goodcarg. But then blamed it on me when he broke up with you to be with me! Well I didn't like him that much anyway that's why three days after I started to go out with him I broke it off. So get over it! Now that I have 3 kids and I've put on some weight things just turned upside down. Now all of a sudden you're the pretty skinny one! Which is not supposed to happen! It's always supposed to be. * beep *

Message six: ' Trin.Su Ling left me! She got a marriage annulment and left. She said and I quote: 'you no husband. You have small pee pee. You no kiss good. Bye.' * starts to cry hysterically * Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! * Hangs up *

Message seven: " I'm the younger pretty sister who gets all the guys. You're supposed to be the tomboy sister who's supposed to hate guys and never get married. And Rachel is supposed to be the fat, loser baby sister who ends up living by herself forever with 10 foster kids. (AN: I got some parts from that little quote from Will and Grace. He he) But no! I had to go and get married and have 3 annoying ass little brats who I cannot stand and now you have a great job, nice figure and now have this amazingly hot guy who you consider to be your friend which I don't believe for one second because I saw the chemistry between you two and it's sad that your too blind to see it. God my life is horrible! * Starts sobbing * * hangs up *

Everyone looks at the answering machine.

"Wow." Marley said.

"My brother got married and then got an annulment within a period of 48 hours." Trinity said shaking her head.

"Should we call her sister to see if she's alright?" Frodo asked.

" No. she's fine. She does this once every month." Lauren said.

"I'm going to drown myself in the shower no one disturb me." Jo said and headed down the hall.

Aragorn followed her. "Jo. Jo wait." He said walking next to her.

"What do you want." She said turning to him.

"What your sister said." he said.

"My sister is suffering from depression and or hysteria. So she says a lot of things that are not true. She's just miserable and wants to get back at her misery by making my life a living hell! So please excuse me." She said and started to walk off.

"But what about what happened last night." He said.

"What are you talking about.nothing happened last night." She said.

He looked at her taken aback. Wondering why she would ignore what had happened last night. He had thought she had felt the same way he had the night before. He then grew angry.

"Yes. It must have been a figment of my imagination." He said.

"Must have been." She said.

He rolled his eyes and walked away. Jo sighed. She walked into her room. She grabbed some clothes from her dresser and walked into the bathroom. She looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. Her hair was a mess and she looked tired. Her memory of what she had said to Aragorn flashed in her mind. She quickly shook her head as if shaking away the thought and turned on the shower.
