Emily and Lucas walked back into the house hand in hand a week later. Things had gotten so much better. Though Allie was still a constant threat to Emily, she just kept telling herself that no matter what, Lucas was hers, and he was devoted entirely to her, which he was.

"Mommy! Daddy!" Kaylie called, running away from Callie who was babysitting her.

Emily leaned down and picked up her daughter "Hey Kay" she said, spinning her around "We missed you" Kay smiled and bit her lip. "Thanks for watching her Callie, we just needed some time to ourselves"

Callie nodded "I totally get it. Mommy and Daddy needed a night to themselves. We had fun, right Kay?" Kay nodded.

Lucas smiled and took her out of Emily's arms "Oh my little angel" he said, kissing her head

Bradin walked in from the living room "Hey" he said, hitting hands with Luke "Have fun?"

They all smiled, Emily the brightest. TO her, everything was finally falling into place. Everything seemed right. She couldn't get over the happiness she felt. "Thanks" she said to no one in particular

"For what Em?" Callie asked "Babysitting is nothing"

Emily laughed "No, to all of you for everything. I would still be all alone in New Orleans if you hadn't come and got me, made me come back here, face my fears, face everything" she smiled "Its perfect. And yeah, its going to get harder as time goes on, but I really don't think I can image this little girl without the new support system we've gotten" she smiled and walked into the office and pulled out an envelop and handed it to Luke

"What's this?" he asked, opening it. He pulled out Kaylie's birth certificate. Under father it said 'Lucas Ryan' Lucas smiled and put it down on the table and hugged her tightly "You did this for me?" he whispered

Emily hugged him back and smiled "No, I did this for all of us, for our family. For us"

A/N: THE END :o) Sorry, I totally lost inspiration for this story so I thought it would be best to just end it. I hope its not too cheesy, I tried not to. I'm gunna try and finish up my other stories too, so they're all to rest, thought I might start to work on the Erika one a little more. Maybe there'll be a new one in the future. I really want to make Bradin out to be an ass :-D Anyway, thanks for reading. 143. Steph
