Hi! So this chapter is going to skip sometime, also I have some extremely weird and shocking ideas for this fanfic so hold on. Thaaanks for the reviews but you guys have stopped reviewing that much and I love getting your lovely comments so please keep it up. I know Colleen is older than Aiden in the TV show but I just wrote that she's younger because I think it suits better. Someone commented something about Harriet becoming a grandma, and let me tell you, I've been thinking the same exact thing for a while now. What do you guys think? Should I make her a grandmother? Also in this chapter there's a flashback and there's like two sentences that I couldn't quite catch because of Aiden's accent I'm sorry, if you happen to know the right words feel free to tell me. Oh and one last thing, if you read the name Trevor and you have no flipping idea of who that is, don't worry it's Aiden's father. Okay that's it, go on and read. I hope you like it!

Emily/Amanda's POV

It's been a month since Niko reappeared in our lives and it's been annoying as hell. She's always here whether to take Aiden out for a walk, or to keep him company, or whatever excuse she can make up. I'm getting tired of her steeling Aiden away when I'm going to take him out, or when I wanna talk, or when Nolan tries to talk to him. She needs to fuck off. Then on the bright side, Aiden is doing very well, he can now move all of his body except his bad leg, so he still can't walk. The doctor is really positive though, he thinks once the pain goes away Aiden will be walking out of this hospital on his own. And he's happier too, he seems less confused about his sudden loss of memory and he's handling it great. I've noticed that Niko answers every single question he asks with the truth, that makes me worry sometimes that something could slip out and ruin my Colleen facade.

"Hey" Aiden says as he wakes up.

"Hi! How are you doing?" I ask from the seat beside his bed.

"I feel good, my leg hurts a lot less." He smiles. "I wanna try to walk, will you help me?"

"Aiden," I say. "Are you sure you're ready for that?"

He laughs softly. "I'm more than ready Colleen, all I want to do is be out of here."

I look at him and see the same puppy eyes he used to give me when he really wanted something. I can't say no to those pretty eyes. "Okay Speedy Gonzales, just don't tell anyone or we'll get in trouble."

"Those eyes never fail." He smirks. Oh my god I missed that look.

I roll my eyes at him, and partly at myself because of falling for those eyes once again, and stand up to help him. He puts his hands in mine and I help him sit facing the window.

"Your good foot first." I say as he follows my indications and places his foot on the floor.

"I can do this." He says as he nods towards me.

I nod back and let go of his hands. He grabs the border of the bed and slowly and carefully places his other foot down. He starts standing up,and when I hear him wince I immediately grab his elbows to keep him up.

"I'm okay, it just hurts a little." He smiles reassuring me that he's fine.

I let go once again and he brings his other foot up and stars walking. He goes slower than a turtle but that's is absolutely fine with me as long as he's safe.

"You go it! You're walking!" I say as he walks/ limps/ drags himself towards the wall facing his bed.

He laughs and I can't help but happily laugh with him. He finally reaches the wall and rests on it.

"Well that wasn't so hard." He jokes as he breathes heavily.

Nolan enters the room, stares at both of us, points at Aiden, and says "What is my buddy doing over there instead of over there?" He points at the hospital bed. "And what is he doing up with no wheelchair near him? Will you guys care to explain?"

"Aiden took his first steps since the accident." I smile widely.

"What?!" Nolan exclaims. "And you didn't think of waiting till I got here?"

"I'm sorry I broke your heart." Aiden says sarcastically and laughs.

"Oh whatever, I'm fine." Nolan answer in his girly tone and rolls his eyes.

Then Dr. Hunt enters looking down at his charts and saying "Hey everyone, I've got some good-" he stops when he looks up to find his patients on the other side of the room. "I see you've been walking."

"Yes, I'm sorry doc, I shouldn't have." Aiden answers.

"Well you shouldn't have but you did, which is in a way good because you're improving." He walks towards him and offers a hand for Aiden to grab. He takes it and Dr. Hunt helps him walk his way back to the bed. Once Aiden in sitting he continues. "So as I was saying, I've got good news. We're going to discharge you in two days, but you'll still have to come in to check out how you're doing." He smiles at us.

"That's great!" I say and grab Aiden's hand between mine.

"No wheelchair?" He asks the doctor.

"No wheelchair as long as you use the crutches we will be giving you." Dr. Hunt answers.

"Yey! James Bond is gonna be back in the field pronto." Nolan jokes.

"But you've got to take care of yourself. Anyway I'll give you all that chatter latter. Now you have to lay down and relax because you just gave your first steps." He says, nods goodbye and leaves.

Two days later Emily/Amanda's POV

"Wait let me help you" I tell Harriet as I grab Aiden's bag from the back of my car.

"Thank you, I'll go help Aiden with the stairs." She smiles and does as she says.

We're at the beach house, Aiden's finally out of that stupid hospital and now I'm about to go in my old house once again. I haven't been in there for about three or fours moths. I told Harriet that they should keep the house for as long as they needed it, I've got the manor anyways. Aiden will be staying with Harriet and Nolan will be staying with me for a while.

"Colleen honey, come on in!" Harriet calls me from the front door.

I guess this is it, I'll have to go in there. "I'm right behind you!"

I take a deep breath and walk towards the front door. I can do this, I step inside and a cold air runs through my body. It's okay, it's okay.

"Who's house is this again?" Aiden asks.

"Mine." I answer for the third time today.

"I still don't get it, you bought two houses that are right next to each other because..." He trails off waiting for an answer.

"I had the money and this one was getting old that's it." I say as I take a couple of steps towards the living room.

"Where did you get all this money from?" He follows me to the living room.

Once we get there, my gaze goes immediately to that couch, the couch where 'dead' Aiden was sitting on motionless months ago. Tears threat to come but only one rolls down.

Aiden seems to notice and says "Hey, hey, it's okay we don't have to talk about money."

"It's not that." I answer quietly. "It's just that, that's the couch were I found you that night."

"What happened exactly? I mean who intoxicated me and brought me here?" He looks at me.

Then Harriet steps in. "We're not sure, the police dropped the case and we can't keep thinking or talking about that day anymore. End of discussion." She says sternly and I mentally thank her for helping me with this.

"Let's get you settled down." I change the subject. "Your room is upstairs, want me to help you?"

"Please." He replies and makes his way to the stairs.

I grab his crutches, his arm and I help him all the way up. Once we're upstairs I show him his room, which used to be my room. I'm so happy I got all of my Emily stuff out of these house when I was with Daniel or else my facade would go all the way down.

"Thanks Colleen." He sits in the bed and smiles at me.

"No problem, I'm here to help." I smile back.

I take a look around and I can't help but think about the last time we were together in this room.

Flashback

"I wish my father was here to see this." I say as I stare at the newspaper that has Conrad admitting to terrorism in its cover. We finally took that bastard down.

"Yeah mine too" Aiden says as he takes a look at the paper and the back at me. "They'd be proud of us, Amanda, we've been through hell and back for them." He smiles.

"And for each other." I add as I put the paper away.

"I never believed that I'd find a partner in this, not did I ever think that we'd find peace." He says as he's eyes stare deep into my soul.

"Oh you have little faith." I smirk.

"Oh Really? You're going to make like this has all gone according to plan, are you?" he jokes.

I give him a small chuckle and answer "No but I'm gonna say for the hell out of our victories."

I place my hand in his chick and give him a sweet close-mouthed smile while I look at him in the eyes. They're so blue and beautiful as always. A thought that always makes me nervous when I'm around him comes to my mind, but this time it only makes me happy. I wanna say it, I need to say it, so I do. "I love you"

I pull him in for a kiss and he leans in. My mind explodes once our lips touch. I finally said it and he feels the same I can tell by the way he's kissing me, deeply and full of emotion. Oh god I love him, I truly truly love him. It feels good, it feels safe, it feels perfect.

I come back from my daydream when I hear Aiden talking again. "Colleen? You okay?"

"Uh yeah yes, I'm sorry." I say as pull my hair away from my face. "I'm going to go now."

"Wait," He grabs my wrist. "Where are you going?"

I pull my hand away not because it's hurting but because I feel so many things when he touches me. "I've got to, uhm, arrange some things in the manor."

"Okay, but come later. I like spending time with you." He says in that delicious British accent he has.i

I nod, turn my back to him, and leave.

All these feelings inside are making me crazy, as hard as I try, I can't stop loving him. I don't think these feelings will ever go away but I'll have to suck it up because I already started this and I can't give up now. Maybe Nolan is right, maybe this is all a mistake, maybe it will take me down. But as Takeda taught me I have to remain in my mission, never give up, never give in.

I walk inside the beach house after nocking twice to make myself heard.

"Just a sec!" I hear Aiden shouts from upstairs.

I wait by the kitchen as far away from 'the' couch as I can. Some may think I'm crazy, but that couch needs to be burned soon. I'll have to talk with Harriet about it though. A couple minutes later Aiden makes his way down the stairs but not alone, Niko is helping him. What the hell is she doing here? In my house!

"Niko." I acknowledge her.

"Colleen" She fakes a smiles. "Nice to see you."

"You too" I return the smile. "Aiden, I was going to invite you and mom to dinner."

"Oh um, Niko invited me to dinner at her house. We were actually about to leave." He says awkwardly.

Are you kidding me? Fucking Niko, she's stealing my fake family now? Who does she think she is?

"Oh, uhm okay, I'll just- I'll just stay here while you're gone." I stutter. I can't help but be a little sad, I wanted to go out with Harriet and Aiden, the three of us, like a family. And now Niko here is ruining it all.

"We should get going." Niko tells Aiden.

"Yeah, we'll be back home soon. Mum is upstairs, she should be down here any minute." He waves goodbye and Niko helps him out of the house.

"They've been talking a lot lately." I hear Harriet's voice. I look up to find her coming down the stairs. "She's always near him. Nolan told me they had something a few years ago and that she still loves him."

I make my self at home and grab a glass of water trying to look careless about what she's telling me. Don't show your emotions, don't let anyone in.

"But I can tell he never loved her as much as he loved you." She makes her way to the kitchen. "Yes, they might have been together but her left her to search for you, he chose you." She stays silent for a few seconds waiting for an answer but I keep on acting like I don't care. "Are you ready for this? Are you ready to let him go?"

I take a deep breath and turn to look at her. "I don't know, but I'll do it if that's what it takes to make him happy."

"Because you love him, because you love him you're letting him go." She says.

"I guess, yes. I just wish it was easier, you know." I answer.

"Well it's hard to let go, I know because your love towards Aiden reminds me of my love towards Trevor." She smiles sweetly. "It was so hard and well with everything else it was even harder."

"Everything else?" I ask.

"Well people talked about him a lot and it never really stopped so it was hard for me to forget about him. And I also couldn't help but constantly think about how the man I married became a murderer." she replies.

Wait she still believes that? She never heard about Conrad or the re-investigation about flight 197? "Haven't you heard? Conrad Grayson among a group of others were the ones to take that plane down."

"Wha-what are you talking about, darling?" She asks.

"It was all over the news before Aiden's accident, those man forced your husband to place that bomb by threatening him with his daughter's life." I step closer to her and grab her hand in mine. "Your husband's not a murderer." I squeeze her hand.

"Oh my goodness, Emily you don't know how happy you've made me. I knew, I always knew there had to be something else." She laughs a little and smiles at me. "I knew Trevor all too well, he would have done anything for his family."

"He did." I smile back. She hugs me and I accept the embrace by hugging her back. "He protected his family."

I'm at Takeda's house. Aiden called me about twenty minutes ago asking me to pick him up. I can't believe Niko can still live here after everything that has happened in this place. I'm still a bit upset that Aiden came here, but oh well I'm just the sister I'm not supposed to care.

I nock on the door twice and hear Niko shout "It's open, come on in!" So I do, everything's exactly how it used to be. "We'll be there in minute!" She says this time.

I keep wondering around till I reach an open door to what I guess is the master bedroom because it looks big. I don't go in but something does catch my attention, there are some cloth spread around in the floor and right beside that a mask. The mask along with a some of the cloth are black, as in burglar cloth. That's when my mind clicks. Is Niko in some sort of mission herself? Is she up to something?

"Did you loose your way?" I hear Niko behind me.

I turn around to find her in a tiny bikini rubbing her hair with a towel. "Did you loose your clothes?" I reply.

"Funny." She give me a sarcastic laugh. "Actually Aiden ripped them off of me."

I laugh "You wish."

"I'm ready." says Aiden as he appears behind Niko. "What are we talking about?"

"About how much fun we had at the pool today." Niko smirks at me.

"He's not supposed to be doing that stuff." I answer now more concerned about his health. "His leg's still recovering."

"Swimming is therapeutic Colleen, relax." She says as she puts her hand on my shoulder. I give her my best don't-touch-me-bitch look that I have and she gets the message by turning to look at Aiden.

"I had a great time Niko, thanks for everything." He leans in and gives her a small hug while I stand there staring at them awkwardly.

"Anytime Aiden." She answers as they pull away. Then she gives him peck on the cheek startling both me and Aiden.

Okay now she's really looking forward to me kicking her ass out of the Hamptons. I know she's doing it in front of me to tease me but I won't give her the pleasure.

"Okay, thank you Niko." I smile at her. "Let's go big brother"

I don't wait for an answer as walk myself out of this freaking house. Niko is really getting on my nerves. And now that I found out she's on some kind of mission or something, I can't help but wonder what it is. I don't remember her ever mentioning any other enemy than, than the one who killed her father, Aiden. What if she still want to kill him? Is all of this a trap just to hurt Aiden again? I'm going to find out everything Niko is hiding because I'm not going to let anyone harm Aiden, not again.

I hope you liked it and again I'm sorry for my bad English :)
