A/N: Hmmm so tired.... But just for you ... 11 at night I'm going to write this chapter.... O so tired

To the reviewers!

JadeMoon: O great thank you- I had no idea. Is graduation like you were a hat and cloak thing and the principal makes a speech and all? Thanks for the info- it was such a great help- and I hope you enjoy the new chapter!

Saz-646: yeah I think I will have her work in practical magic for a while but then she'll change jobs I think.... Haven't really decided yet! Thanks for the reviews and enjoy the new update!

Chapter fifteen: Seeing old friends.

"Morgan do you want something to eat?" My mom asked popping her head in the door as she went by.

I shook my head and closed the book I was reading "No mom, I'm ok," I said sitting up and smiling at her.

She smiled back "It's good to have you back honey"

"It's good to be back," I said but part of me felt almost guilty in saying it since I really wasn't entirely happy about being back. I mean I had missed mom and dad but- I missed Hunter.

And knowing that I had no idea about when I would see him again made me feel really sad. I wanted so much for him to hold me, to kiss me, to tell me he loved me – but he wasn't here to do any of that.

What would happen when the baby is born? I didn't want him to give up his entire future and I new that was he was doing was very important to him, it was what he felt his true calling was.

"I think I'll go and see Alyce," I said out loud and I scrambled of the bed.

The bells over the practical magic store jingled as I walked through the broad double plate glass doors and I breathed in the scent of burning frankincense (A/N: that's a type of wood smell- I think)

I spotted her immediately bent over the cash register taking money from a guy with a shaved head and her round face cracked in a warm smile as she saw me approach "Hello Morgan" she said softly.

I nodded and I walked down the steps that lowered down onto the floor of Practical Magick "Hey"

She put an arm around my shoulders and steered me towards the back room " Come on stranger- tea I think. Finn can you watch the store?"

I laughed softly- witch tea no doubt.

Alyce held back the curtain and I stepped through into the dimly lit back room.

"So how have you been? How was Scotland?" she asked rummaging in the cupboards and setting out two mugs, and then she filled the kettle and put it on the stove to boil.

I nodded "It was amazing- I've learned so much- but I don't think I have had enough time to digest it all" I said and she nodded understandingly.

"It is an wonderful place- a real honour- I know a friend who went there a few years ago- best time of her life she said" the kettle whistled and she busied herself with pouring mugs of hot tea.

"Yeah it is- it's unlike anything I had ever experienced- It was amazing" I said inadequately.

She put a mug down in front of me and chuckled softly "Classes- they were good?"

I nodded "The teachers were lovely- they were so gifted"

"Well only the most talented teachers are there- the most learned" she said taking a sip, I circled my hand over the cups rim and said silently " Cool the fire" and I took an experimental sip.

"They taught me so much," I said shaking my head.

She smiled at me and shook her brown hair out of her eyes and smoothed her velvet purple plum skirt and blouse.

"You saw Hunter?" she said her blue eyes flicking up to my face once.

I nodded "Yeah he came down when he could- he's been busy with meetings"

"Meetings?" she asked her eyebrows arched.

"Meetings" I repeated "He-" I wasn't sure how to put this

"He- wants to form a new council of witches- he's trying to find some that would be willing to take the risk at the moment" I said and hung my head.

"So he didn't return to Widows vale" she stated sensing my regret and sorrow and I nodded sadly.

She put her hand over mine and patted it gently "He loves you Morgan- you needed be a fool to see it- he will return to you someday"

But when would he return to me? I couldn't help but think

Her eyes watched me closely and I new she had heard what I had thought, she smiled sadly "He will- you are is world Morgan- he will not be away from you long- you must have faith in that"

I nodded and drank the last of my Chamomile tea "I know "I whispered.

I just hoped she was right.

"Morgan- I have been talking to Finn and he has decided to resign from his post here- and well I will be needing someone to help me with the store, I was wondering -how are you fixed for this year?" she asked sipping her tea.

"Well I really don't know what I want to do yet- finish school I guess- but other than that- no idea.

"Well you are more than welcome to fill Finns post here- I could really do with the help," she said waving to a passing customer.

O

I nodded in thanks "That- that would be great"

Her face lightened and she grasped my hand in both of hers "excellent- can you start this weekend?"

I nodded- well this way it would be what... 5 hours a day when I couldn't think about Hunter.

But I couldn't help but miss him...
