Well here it is, the last chapter is finally here, this story will be no more after this chapter, but then again I am writing a sequel so it should hopefully be up by Monday English time. Without too much rambling, Chapter 14.

Chapter 14 – So Is It Okay I'm Home?

It was Stuart Harrison himself that first noticed the cab pulling up on his driveway, the cab that would signal the second return of Tom Quincy and his beautiful daughter Emily to their home.

Tommy had Jude remain seated in the car, he promised her that he would go out and deal with all of them so that she didn't have to, she just had to come out of the car when he opened the door for her. It was like a rehearsed performance, she just hoped it would all go alright, that she would get a good reception.

The first words Tommy heard from Mr. Harrison were an offer to help him carry his luggage inside. Tommy had to laugh at his eagerness but before he could actually grab any of the bags, Tommy put and hand to his chest to stop him. It was now or never.

'Mr. Harrison,' he started. 'I would love you to help me with all my bags, I have quite a lot more things this time around.' He smiled to himself silently. 'First I have a surprise for you.' He took a deep breath and opened the door of the cab, praying the reaction would be good.

'Oh Tommy you didn't…' he started, trailing off as he stared into the intense blue eyes now placed in front of him. His words caught in his throat as he watched Jude climb out of the car to stand in front of him. After a few seconds of them just staring at each other he threw his arms around his daughter pressing her body into his chest squeezing the very air out of her lungs. Tears spilled over down both of their cheeks as they locked themselves in the passionate father, daughter embrace.

As the two continued their hug Tommy emptied the cab of their luggage and gently picked Emily up laying her sleeping form on the cases that littered the floor. He paid the driver and let him drive off.

Sadie, after hearing the cab drive off came outside to welcome Tom and Emily back to Canada. As she left the building she saw Tom stood uncomfortably next to a sleeping Emi on one side and her father in a deep embrace with a brunette woman she wasn't sure she had met before. When her dad and this mystery woman pulled apart she carefully studied this girls features.

She studied the wavy brown hair and tanned skin, not wanting to believe it might be her, she couldn't be disappointed yet again. Her eyes locked with the woman's, meeting the deep blue that emanated from them In that second that their eyes locked everything seemed to fall away from both their worlds as realization dawned on Sadie's face.

'Juuuuuuuuude!' she screamed as she hurled herself down the front garden hurdling the hedge and springing onto the sidewalk. Jude ran towards her in anticipation and their arms snapped around each other so tightly Tommy and Stuart were surprised that they both hadn't turned blue and collapsed into a heap on the ground. Sadie squeezed her little sister in a snake like embrace as tears trickled down her cheeks and she joined the handful of them that were crying.

As they pulled apart Sadie couldn't help but keep the beam from her face. She looked over at her Dad who now had a still sleeping Emily cradled in his arms. That girl could sleep through absolutely anything, it was really crazy. Sadie also went to greet Tommy, she gripped him in an embrace and he wrapped his arms around her back. Jude smiled, she was glad they were on speaking terms again.

Mason, who had been in the bathroom at the time heard Sadie let out the high pitched scream of Jude's name and rushed to compose himself before rushing out to see if the screams he was hearing were telling the truth or if they were playing tricks on him, evil tricks.

His jaw dropped as his eyes locked with Jude, a different Jude, a brunette Jude. This time it was Jude that made the first move, launching herself up the garden towards the doorway she launched herself into Mason's arms wrapping her legs around his waist and pressing her mouth to his. It was a friendly kiss and they all knew it, though it took Tommy a few seconds to actually realize that. When he saw her react like that he couldn't help but feel a little pang of jealously. He then remembered the time that Mason came out to them all at G – Major. He remembered how he felt a little weird, he got paranoid thinking that Mason was giving him eyes, or the look every now and then. But the most important thing was that he respected her relationship with Mason. He knew how good friends Jude and Mason were, he remembered her telling him that. He loved the way she reacted to Mason and he hoped that when they eventually completely reconciled, that would be the way she reacted when they were separated, though he hoped they never would be.

When Mason let her stand again they just stared at each other in awe, they were finally back together again and it was the best feeling in the world. Well to Jude it was the best feeling in the world to be with Tommy, but being with Mason came pretty close. The stares between them now progressed to every person on the drive their faces were all streaming with tears of happiness. Each one of them had the same question playing on their minds, how did Tommy get her to come back with him? They decided against their curiosity to let it slide, they should be happy that she was back and not want to question her motives.

When Jude finally managed to unlock her eyes from Mason's the whole 'family', if that is what you could call it, gathered in a circle. Of course they were not all related, but it the past few months that Jude had been gone they had united and they were very much together. Jude sidled back over to Tommy, not wanting to be the centre of the circle with all attention focused on her. He protectively and instinctively wrapped his arms around her kissing the top of her forehead lovingly. She leant backward feeling his strong arms and muscular chest supporting her and she was totally contented. Silence filled the air as they stared at each other comfortably before returning back to the house.

.!.Home.!.
