REVIEW! Please review if you read! Any feedback at all is greatly appreciated!!
I said I would update if I got one review, but I got 2 so thanks!!
This chapter in my opinion is pretty sappy and probably badly written too. So you tell me.
*Any children were based on kids in my co-op class last year.*

ONE MONTH LATER
The Triquetra had finally made in back home to Caro, as soon as the ship had come into viewing range the villagers had come to the dock to greet their friends and family and welcome them back. Bryn looked out among the crowd and saw some familiar faces, the names were just starting to come to her head when her father came up behind her and rested a hand on her shoulder.
"They'll be more then happy to see you my dear! Taryn was devastated when we came back after losing you in the storm. She has missed you so much." Bryn looked up at her father and smiled "I've missed you all to." She replied quietly
"Now come on we'll surprise them go down to your cabin and gather your things, I'll make sure the crew doesn't say a word till we are ready, ok?" he told her. She nodded her head and went down below. It wasn't long after they had docked that the entire crew was gone and the only people left on the ship were Bryn and her father.
Soon enough five people boarded the ship a woman, a man, two small boys and a small girl. Once the children saw the Captain they ran forward and wrapped him in a hug. "I've missed you to my little ones" he told the three children laughing. Then looking up at the adults he smiled.
"Did you bring us anything? Did ya? Did ya?" the children asked "Of course I brought you something but I have something to give your mother first ok?" The children all backed up a little bit and looked slightly saddened by this news "Don't worry I think you'll like this to" with that the children's eyes lit up.
"What is it Father?" the woman spoke for the first time, looking very sceptical "You'll see Taryn" he replied. With that the man turned towards the hatch and called out "Come out now my dear." With everyone watching a young woman came up form above, she was wearing a small yellow dress, knee high brown boots, with a rainbow coloured bracelet around her wrist and two necklaces around her neck. The woman had two bags slung over her shoulders, and when she lifted her head to look at the people her now shoulder length brown hair fell from her face and the people gathered on the ship could see that she had the most brilliant brown eyes, that even with just one look seemed to see your soul.
The woman gave the people a small smile and said "Hi" that was all it took the woman who had been called Taryn fell to her knees and whispered in a disbelieving voice "Bryn?, Oh my, is that really you?" Bryn nodded her head and with tears already falling down her face dropped her bags and took a step forward. Taryn jumped to her feet and ran towards her sister and hugged her at this point both women were crying. "We thought we had lost you forever. Where have you been? What happened? Are you alright?" came the onslaught of questions. Bryn laughed at this and said "I'll answer everything later alright" then looking at the gathering of confused people behind them Bryn motioned her head toward them and ask "and who might these fine looking people be?"
"I'm sorry come here and let me introduce you" then grabbing Bryn's hand she lead her over. "This is my husband Mason," she said pointing to a large man with blond hair and bright green eyes, "and these are our three children" then pointing to them each on turn "This is our oldest James Mason Summers he's six, Thomas or Tommy Michael Summers, he's 4 and our littlest Alyssa Bryn Summers she's three" Bryn looked at each of the children as their names were said, James was tall for his age and looked like he would be just like his father when he grew up complete with a head full of blond hair and two green eyes, Tommy was more like his mother with dark brown hair and brown eyes, and then there was Alyssa she was a perfect mixture of both her parents with a head full of dirty blond that fell just below her shoulders and light brown eyes that shone with the innocence of youth.
"This is my sister Bryn" Taryn continued with a smile on her face. With that the Alyssa came forward and hugged Bryn's knees, then looking up at her she lifted her arms and waited. Looking at Taryn to see if it was ok, Bryn reached down and swept the little girl up into her arms and rested her on her hip. "They are all gorgeous Taryn" Bryn told her sister. Before anything else could be said Bryn and Taryn's father said "Come on lets get this group home then Bryn can tell us her story" and with that he stooped and grabbed one of Bryn's bags while throwing the other at Mason, they headed towards town.
As they walked towards the Summer's family home Taryn filled Bryn in on everything that had happened since she had disappeared ten years prior. Taryn at the time had been sixteen and the loss of her sister had hurt her greatly but Mason had helped her through it and when Taryn turned nineteen they had been married. A year later they had, had James and after that the other two children. Taryn told Bryn that they had been planning on naming the first girl they had Bryn but they knew that it would have hurt too much so they had given Alyssa that name as her middle name so that they would at least have someone in the family with that name. Hearing this Bryn had been touched that they had cared that much and looking down at the little girl still in her arms she gave her a quick kiss on the top of the head which caused Alyssa to laugh.
When they reached the house, they all went in and sat at the table in the kitchen. Taryn got each of them a glass of juice and two glasses of ale for the men then she sat down and Bryn started her story. An hour later she finished her story with when she rejoined the Triquetra and she still had the entire audience hanging on her words. The first to speak was James "You mean you actually know Sinbad the Sailor?? You actually were on board the Nomad?? You were going to MARRY the Sinbad??" he looked at Bryn with pride and shock in his eyes.
Bryn laughed at the boy's enthusiasm while Taryn apologised for his outburst "Sorry about that Bryn he's fascinated by Sailors, Sinbad especially" then looking at her son she sighed "He wants to be a sailor when he grows up." James nodded his head with pride "Then maybe you would like me to teach you how to use a sword then, and how to fight" Bryn asked the child resting her hand on the handle of her own sword. The boy's eyes lit up at this "I would love that aunt Bryn.. Well if it's ok with mom and dad" he replied looking at his parents. They looked at each other and nodded. James jumped out of his chair and ran to his parents giving them a hug then giving one to Bryn. This caused all the adults at the table to laugh, and Bryn looked at the two smaller children and told them "I suppose I could teach you two as well when you get older." Just like their older brother their eyes lit up and they smiled.
Then turning back to a more serious topic Mason started "What do you want to do if Sinbad ever comes here to Caro?" Bryn looked down at her hands for a little while then back up at the large man, "Don't tell him I'm here I guess.If he finds me fine but I don't want it to be because someone told him." Mason nodded his head in understanding then replied "I guess we should hold a town meeting then. Tell everyone your back and what to do if a certain captain comes to town." The adults agreed and decided to see about holding the meeting the next day.
