A New Family, a New Future-Part 6:

Louisa was still angry with everyone except Cailin and she wasn't even speaking to any of them. She felt they had betrayed her trust and that was a no go after what her friends had done to her over the summer. She felt like she couldn't trust anyone except Cailin and that actually hurt Angela, but she had decided to let Jane and Maura handle it once they were home because she believe that her daughter and Maura would return.

What she hadn't thought was her phone ringing in the middle of the night. She quickly answered the phone without looking at who was calling her.

"Ma it's Jane…"

"Janie! Where are you? Are you two OK?" Angela instantly asked sitting up in bed.

"That's the thing…We're at Logan. They evacuated all the tourists out and they flew us back, but we're stuck at Logan," Jane explained, "can you come and get us?"

"Yeah sure. I'll get Frankie to come and watch Louisa so get a coffee and I'll call you when I'm outside," Angela said.

"Thanks Ma," Jane said before ending the call.

Angela quickly called Frankie and caught him at the end of his shift.

"Cailin's asleep and at Hope's so I just hope Louisa stays asleep because I dread to think how she'll react," Angela said as Frankie arrived.

"I'll figure out something, just get them," Frankie said before making himself comfortable on the sofa, listening out for any sounds from Louisa's room.

"She's on the way," Jane said to Maura as they sat in a café at the airport, "but something tells me we've entered another hurricane."

"Yes, and I think Louisa did find out about the severity of the hurricane," Maura said, "it would have been impossible for her not to have found out. She's as smart as me; but as reckless as you can be sometimes. It's hard to tell whether she's being influence by us or not."

Eventually Jane's phone rang and the two headed outside and were soon showered in kisses.

"Ma! Stop!" Jane said before looking at her mother, "we just want to get back to Lou." Angela nodded and the three got into the car.

"How is Louisa?" Maura asked once Angela had begun the drive back to Beacon Hill. Angela sighed,

"Angry and upset and won't talk to anyone unless it's Cailin," she replied.

"She found out then?" Maura asked.

"Yes, and then ran away to that 60s café on the outskirts of Boston that Cailin is taking her to before she goes to college," Angela said, "I made the choice to keep it from her how serious it was, but she saw it on the news and that was when she realised. Hope told Cailin, but she managed to convince Louisa that she'd only just been told."

"We shall have to talk to her in the morning. It was our call Ma and she shouldn't have treated you and the rest the way she has," Jane told her mother.

"She's also had trouble with Ariana, Jessica and the triplets. They're going to a different high school and they didn't want to tell her, so they avoided her and booted her out of their group chat," Angela said, "welcome back to Boston."

"Some welcome back it is," Jane said before the three fell into a comfortable silence before they arrived back at Beacon Hill.

"She's still asleep," Frankie said getting up, but Jane didn't worry about Frankie. She headed straight for Louisa's room.

"Thank you, Frankie," Maura said, "I think she just wants to see Louisa and make sure that's she's ok," she said.

"I'll just stay in the guesthouse tonight," Frankie said before heading off with Angela.

Maura thanked them both again before she headed to the main bedroom and saw Jane laid there with Louisa.

"Do you mind?" Jane asked, "I just wanna have her with us tonight. I thought we might never see her again."

Maura looked at Jane before going over to her,

"Of course I don't mind. If I'm honest I felt the same way as you and I just want her to wake up with us," she said before she and Jane quickly got ready for bed and got in; Louisa still asleep between them.

Louisa was the first to wake up the next morning and she rubbed her eyes before feeling some arms around her and, once her eyes adjusted to the light, she realised that Jane and Maura were home. She went to try and move but saw Jane's eyes watching her.

"We got back in the night," Jane said softly, "and just wanted you with us. Now what's this I'm hearing about you giving everyone apart from Cailin the silent treatment?"

"They kept it from me just how bad the hurricane really was. Everyone knew," Louisa replied softly.

"Ma and the rest of them only did as Maura and I asked them too. If you should be mad at anyone Lou it's me and Maura," Jane said, "we told Ma to tell everyone else, but we wanted to protect you. I know you say you can handle more than we think you can, but you already lost one set of parents and we didn't want to put our little girl through the pain of that possibly happening again. That's why we told them to keep it a secret from you," she said.

"Jane's right Louisa," came Maura's voice making the two look at Maura, "we didn't want to put you through the possibility that we may not have made it back, so we made the call for you not to be told; Cailin too. We knew if she knew then she'd want to tell you and we couldn't risk it; like Jane said we couldn't put our little girl through anything more. Now what we want you to do is apologise to everyone and then we'll let the matter be forgotten. Now I fancy waffles, syrup and crispy bacon."

"You're letting me do breakfast?" Jane questioned.

"Only because we're meant to be on honeymoon still," Maura said before Jo Friday came into the bedroom as Jane left it. In the chaos of Jane and Maura arriving back early the pets had been forgotten, "now let's get Jo Friday and Bass fed before we are fed ourselves," she said before stroking Louisa's cheek, "we're home and not going anywhere now without you. Can you apologise to everyone please?"

"Yes Maura I'll apologise," Louisa said as she stroked Jo Friday.

The pets had been fed and now Jane, Maura and Louisa were sat eating their breakfast.

"Angela said there's been a bit of trouble…" Maura said.

"They basically wanted to avoid the subject of us not going to the same high school," Louisa said, "but, in the end, they agreed to meet with me and Cailin and told me. I'll just have to make new friends again and forget about them. Hopefully people will like me."

"Anyone who doesn't like you would need their head examining Starfish," Maura said, "yes that's your new nickname from me. Louisa you are brave, a fighter, kind and caring and anyone would be a fool not to want you as their friend. You'll make friends just fine," she said before Jane nodded in agreement. Jane and Maura were home safe; now the new chapter of their life could begin.
