Chapter Eleven

Today Joey was coming home. Seto pushed the wheel chair out to the waiting limo and after opening the door for Serenity to get in, he lifted Joey into his arms and sat him in the limo and got in too. He then told the drive please take us home.

Mokie and the others were waiting and when the limo pulled up outside they all went outside to greet them. The driver went around and opened the door and helped Serenity out and then Seto got out and lifted Joey into his arms bridal style and carried him up the stairs to the front door. As he walked inside Joey laid his head on Seto shoulder and whispered "it's good to be finally home." Seto then walked into the living room and sat Joey down on the couch and sat beside him.

Mokie walked over and sat down next to Joey and with tears in his eyes Mokie said "welcome home." Joey held him in his arms and said "it's good to be here with the people that I love and love me. Joey then looked up and there stood Roland and two other men and something inside of Joey burst open and he stood with Seto's help and he walked over to the men and stood there looking at them and then he smiled and with tears in his eyes he said "thank you."

Mokie and Serenity stood there wondering what he meant but they didn't say anything. Roland, Vincent and Connor all smiled down at Joey and as he walked over to them they opened their arms and embraced the young man. Seto stood there with tears running down his face because now he knew that even though he was never told, Joey realized that it was Roland and his brothers who took care of his father and Uncle and now he and his sister could live their lives without having to fear getting hurt.

Dinner was a joyful event. There was good food, good company and lots of laughter around that table that night. They all shared stories about things that they had done that was so damn hilarious that at times someone would have to excuse themselves to run to the bathroom or wet their pants. Joey yawned and Seto smiled as he met his gaze. "I think it's time you get some rest. You haven't been up this late in a long time."

As Joey stood up, everyone came and gave him a hug and even kissed his cheek and told him sleep well and we'll see you in the morning." Then Joey looked at Vincent and Connor and they nodded that they would be there in the morning. Then with Seto's arm around his waist they walked out of the room and up the stairs and went to Set's room. Once inside Seto helped Joey out of his cloths and as he got into bed Joey held Seto's hand and told him "please stay till I fall asleep, it's strange not to have to worry about them ever again." Seto laid down next to Joey and held him in his arms and as Joey's eyes started to close he whispered "I love you" and kissed Joey's lips. Joey then looked into Seto's eyes and he said "thank you for loving me because if it weren't for your love I don't think that I could of gotten through all that they did to me." Then Joey returned the kiss and closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Later that night as Seto laid beside Joey, he said a prayer that now Joey wouldn't have anymore nightmares and he would finally be able to heal. It was around three in the morning when Seto woke to the sound of Joey moaning in his sleep. As he held Joey in his arms and whispered that he was alright, Joey started thrashing and then he woke up with tears in his eyes. Seto rocked him in his arms and soon Joey stopped crying. "Another dream?" Seto asked.

Joey then laid his head on Seto's chest and he said "they go you too."

Seto then kissed Joey's forehead and he started singing a lullaby that Roland use to sing to him when he use to have terrible nightmares and it helped him to be able to go back to sleep. As Joey listened to the words he closed his eyes and drifted back to sleep and with Seto's arms around him he didn't have anymore bad dreams.
