Chapter 3

Ding 'We'll be landing in 5 minutes. I repeat we'll be landing in 5 minutes." Ding The Intercom turned off after the Pilots message.

"Kaitlyn." Gabriel whispered in the sleeping girls' ear. "Kaitlyn." He shook her a bit.

Kaitlyn groaned as she snuggled deeper into his arms.

"Kaitlyn, get up! We're almost there!" Gabriel finished in her ear, as much as he wanted her to stay, he had to wake her up.

She yawned as she lifted her head. "What? So quickly?"

He smiled. "Easy for you to say" Gabriel had woken up seconds after Kaitlyn went to sleep and had insomnia for the rest of the trip. He kept a keen lookout eye for anything suspicious on the plane. He looked at Kait.

Kaitlyn was trying the fix her hair as best as she could. Giving up, she pulled out her brush from her duffel bag and excused herself to the bathroom.

With some extra space now, Gabriel stretched. Moments later, Kaitlyn returned. With all her haziness gone, she looked fresh and about ready to do anything.

She sat back down and kissed Gabriel.

"Good morning?" She looked out the window, the sun was rising.

Gabriel also looked out of the window. "Yeah it's morning." He said as he too got up to go to the bathroom, a toothbrush and a small tube of toothpaste in one hand. Momentarily, he too came back and took his seat.

They both put their seat belts on as the plane landed. When the seat belt sign was taken off, they both got up and took out their luggage as they waited patiently to get out of the plane.

About 15 minutes later, they were both off the plane only to find out that Gabriel's flight had been cancelled, and the next flight was at 7:00 am tomorrow.

"Well, I guess you'll be coming with me then?" Kaitlyn suggested. "And I'm sure you bought some clothes along in your duffel bag."

Gabriel sighed. "I guess so."

After collecting the luggage, they called a taxi to pick them up.

I can't wait for you to meet my dad Kaitlyn told him telepathically as the car started moving toward its' destination.

And I can't wait to get some sleep Gabriel replied drowsily as he placed his head on Kaitlyn's lap and closed his eyes.

Kaitlyn brushed some hair out of his eyes and kissed him softly. Sweet dreams.

Arriving at Kaitlyn's house, they both got out of the taxi to take the luggage out. Standing in front of the door, Kaitlyn pushed the doorbell. A few seconds later, a man came to the door, his eyes wide with astonishment. "Kaitlyn?" He looked at Gabriel. "And..."

"Gabriel Wolfe" He extended his hand. Mr. Fairchild accepted it and nodded.

He looked at Kaitlyn and opened the door more fully as to let them in. He smiled. "Well Kaitlyn, welcome home."

Kaitlyn embraced her father. "Dad. Oh dad! I'm so glad to see you! You don't know how much I've missed you!"

"I've missed you too Kaitlyn."

Gabriel sat down on the couch with Kaitlyn joining him shortly.

"Dad, you look, different." She noticed that her father didn't look vague like when she had left him a year ago, but he looked more of how he was when her mom was still alive.

Mr. Fairchild smiled. "You know Kaitlyn. Ever since you left, I wondered on how I was going to make it without you. But while I was wondering, I knew that I had to work it out somehow and pull myself back together! I worked harder, and I even got back my job as a philosophy teacher. And just before you came in through that door, I finished this." He went over to a cabinet and took out...a book!

Kaitlyn's eye's shimmered with tears of happiness. "Dad! This is wonderful!"

"No I'm sorry honey. For all the pain I've brought to you. I should've done this sooner."

They embraced.

Psst. Kait? Ok I know this is a bad time...but...

Kaitlyn broke away form her dad to turn around to look at Gabriel. He had been sitting there the entire time, looking like he really shouldn't be there.

"Oh! Dad, I would like you to meet Gabriel. His flight got delayed so I thought it would be ok if he came here. He's one of the people at the institute."

"So. Gabriel, how was the institute?"

Kaitlyn and Gabriel exchanged glances and an awkward silence followed.

Well, I knew it'd come up some time or later.

Better now then never Kaitlyn.

"You two don't have to explain anything. Joyce called. She told me everything. I'm just glad that everyone is safe." He smiled.

Gabriel felt a rush of relief from Kaitlyn.

Gabriel, remind me to thank Joyce. A lot!

Gabriel mentally smirked. Thank Joyce. A lot!

Now, Kaitlyn mentally gave him 'the look.'

Kaitlyn looked down. "So you know...everything?"

Mr. Fairchild lifted an eyebrow. "Everything."

"Well, that settles it. If you don't mind, I'd like to unpack and maybe get some rest."

"Yeah me too. I didn't get much rest in the Taxi or on the plane."

Kaitlyn disappeared up the stairs with her luggage. "Gabriel! Why don't you come with me so I can show you your room?"

"Yeah, I'll be right up!" He replied.

About to go upstairs, Gabriel was stopped by a hand on his shoulder. He turned around. "Can I help you in anything, Mr. Fairchild?"

"Yes, I think you can." He smiled his knowing smile as he leaned close to Gabriel as to whisper something in his ear. "You break her heart and I'll send an angry mob after you, and I really don't want to do that." He leaned back. "You really seem like a nice guy."

Astonishment was plain in Gabriel's eye's, which then turned to amusement. "You won't have to worry about that. I promise you." With that he went up the stairs to join Kaitlyn.

"Ok, here's your room." Kaitlyn opened a door and lad him inside the guest room.

Gabriel nodded in approval and then turned to Kaitlyn, his eyes filled with mischief. How about you can stay with me in this room tonight? His hand snaked around her waist as he brought her close and kissed her. Sparks flew from every where they touched. Enjoying the moment as they tried to get closer to each other more mentally than physically.

A few moments later, they broke apart.

Kaitlyn looked up at him a bit dazed. Not today, handsome.

He lifted an eye brow as she untangled from him and sauntered to her own room.
