Enjoy the last installment…….thanks to all my reviewers.
Ava and Johnny stumbled in the front door, arms around each other. Her hair was mussed from their midnight rendezvous at the pub.
The lights were dim in the hallway, the kids were in the hallway.
"What does Callum mean to you?" Johnny asked, seriousness marking his tone.
"Nothing, I used to think the sun set and rose on him and then we broke up, I came back here and saw you again and fell in love with you all over, if I ever stopped loving you." Ava held her breath after revealing her heart to him.
Tears coated Johnny's cheeks. "I love you too. I've been waiting for you all my life." They embraced and made their way up the stairs.
Dawn broke and they lay in Ava's bed like lovers. Reluctant to leave each other, holding the other because they knew subconsciously that when they were together that was only when they felt truly connected.
Truly alive.
As the sun rose, noise echoed throughout the house. The children awoke and went looking for Johnny after he didn't show up to make his weekly Saturday chocolate chip pancakes. They pushed Ava's door open and stood there in shock and joy to see their favorite two adults entwined in the slumber of rest.
Derrick walked over and poked Johnny softly. "Johnny, are you coming to make us your pancakes?"
Johnny opened his eyes slowly, adjusting to the light revealed in the room. So different from his room which was darker and nicer for him at least.
"Yeah in a minute," he muttered, forgetting that he was in Ava's bed. Snuggling closer to Ava, reality dawned on him, as Ava's leg nudged his suggestively.
"Johnny, remember -" she broke off as she looked into the curious eyes of Nikki and Derrick.
"Good morning guys," she said brightly. Attempting to appear as if nothing was weird, because she and Johnny were in the same bed, wearing their clothes from last night. Well minus a pair of underwear, Ava reveled in the memories of last night for a second and then reality crashed in again.
"Why are you in bed with Johnny?" Derrick asked, his eyes dancing with innocence.
"Well Johnny and I, we- uh--" Ava looked at Johnny.
"Well Derrick, when two adults have feelings for each other-" was cut off by Derrick.
"Are you and Aunt Ava back together?" he asked.
"Yeah." Johnny answered.
"Sweet." Derrick smiled, grabbing Nikki's hand, he led her from the room.
"See you downstairs in a few, you guys." Johnny yelled after them.
"What was that?" Ava looked at him. "It was almost like he was expecting us to get back together?" "Well he has expressed thoughts to me about that happening," Johnny told her.
"Well it's true, we are back together." Ava leaned back against Johnny's chest, reveling in the knowledge that Johnny was hers and hers alone.
"I'm so glad we're back together," Johnny kissed her hand and linked it with his. "You are mine forever."
The End (for now)
I thought this would be a good place to end it for now. The show is over for now, so perhaps I'll start this story up when Summerland is on again. I might start it up again, but I have run out of ideas for this story. Suggestions are welcome and might prompt me to restart this story.
Thanks to all my reviewers, you guys rock.
