It had been fifteen years and he'd passed his appeal with the help of that Agent Hotchner. He was mighty grateful he'd come from Quantico, Virginia to help him with his appeal. It had been a little disturbing when they saw each other face to face. He looked exactly like him.
He was now on five years probation and had to check in with the local police once a month to tell them how he was getting on. There was no way he was going to do anything slightly criminal ever again. He'd already missed enough years of his son's life and he just wanted to play house with his wife. He didn't know what he was going to do for a living now though. He'd lost his licence the moment he was sentenced. There was no way he could practice medicine ever again.
His wife and seventeen year old son were going to come meet him once he was discharged. He'd married Maggie ten years ago in the prison chapel. They'd rekindled their relationship after she kept visiting. She visited him once a month with their son. Even though he got the feeling Colby hadn't been that interested once he begun to be a teenager. He just hoped Colby wasn't going the same way as him and leading girls on.
He was relieved that now he was leaving prison he could be more physically there for his son and maybe even get to know him better. He hoped they could form a better father son relationship now he could go places with him. He had no interest in leaving him again. He would do anything for his son and wife. He also hoped though they were older they could have another child he could be there for all the time and not miss growing up.
Once they'd done all the business they needed to do to discharge him he left the prison. Once he got out of the prison he saw his family there waiting for him. Maggie ran up to him and they clung to each other. For the first time in their marriage they could be intimate with each other.
He looked down at her and kissed her on the lips. She kissed him back running her fingers through his dark hair while he had one hand on the back of his neck. They kissed with all the passion they'd had to keep inside all these years.
Once they stopped he looked up to see his son standing by the car kicking his feet. He went over to him and after a brief awkward moment Colby wrapped his arms around his father and Danny wrapped his around his son.
Danny kissed his hair and said, "I promise you, son, I'm not going anywhere ever again."
"I know, dad, I know," he answered looking up at him.
He hoped the same as Danny that now he was out of prison they'd only strengthen their relationship. Even though he'd always had his mum and they were close he really missed having a dad. He would help his dad get back onto his feet and form a better family dynamic.
