Hiya! So here I am, back for chapter two. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. Please review and tell me what you think. Here we gooo!


Nathan was shocked. She was here, she was actually here. Audrey's smile widened and she bit her lip. She always did that when she was happy.

"Yeah, I-It's me." She said, the smile fading and being replaced by confusion. She didn't remember anything after she went into the armory/ barn. Nathan's jaw dropped, he still couldn't believe it.

"What, how, when, what?!" He stuttered. Audrey didn't know the answers to those, sort of questions and leaned forward slightly, instantly feeling the car tilt, and leaned back immediately.

"Uh, maybe we should go over those questions when I'm not dangling off a cliff." He suggested sarcastically. Nathan's eyes widened, remembering why he panicked when he saw the car.

"Right." He said, rushing toward the driver's side. He gripped the handle, pulling the door open. Audrey grabbed his hand and he pulled her out, the car falling immediately afterward. The irony and dè ja vu was almost funny, as he held her to him.

"Well that sucks." He said, meaning the car.

Audrey shrugged, as if to say it wasn't as bad as he thought it was.

"I don't know where it came from, so.." She trailed off, nothing else needing to be said. A smirk crossed Nathan's face as he made a coy remark.

"You know last time we were here you pulled a gun on me." He stated, facing her. It was almost funny that they went from threatening to shoot each other to being a couple, and that now they are pretty much reliving that day.

"Hey you pulled one on me too." Audrey reminded, raising her eyebrows and crossing her arms, a smile on her face. Nathan chuckled for the first time since she'd left.

"Yeah, I did. Then you accused me of being deaf." They both let out a laugh, before Nathan repeated his questions, with a little more understandable wording.

"What happened? How'd you get here?" He asked. All humor had left his tone by now, and Audrey knew it. She sighed.

"I wish I could tell you, but I don't actually know. Everything after the armory dissapearing is a total blank." She stated, wincing. She knew that it hurt Nathan to see her go, just from his face when he saw her. Everyone else would only see the happiness, but she saw the longing, the hurt, and all the pain that he had. It was almost like he wasn't sure if he could trust that she was there, and that made Audrey so angry at herself. She'd left so many times, and every time he was ripped to shreds. She decided to promise herself that she'd never leave again. No matter what.

"You don't remember anything?" He asked, shocked. If she didn't remember, did she even know she was erased? He decided not to mention it.

"No. Anyway, let's not dwell on that, let's just go to the station and figure this whole thing ou-" Nathan cut her off, stepping between her and the road.

"Parker I don't think that's a good idea. If people see you in town, they might think-" She finished his sentence.

"The troubles are back." Nathan nodded. Audrey bit her lip, thinking. She could either say, 'screw that' and drag him to the station or she could let Nathan take her wherever he wanted and get to spend some quality time with her boyfriend. The troubles went away, and she came back, did it matter that she didn't know the details of what happened in between? She made up her mind.

"Okay, you win. Take me home then." She smirked, holding out her hand. Nathan returned the look and lead her to the bronco, opening the door for her. It was one of those sweet old fashioned gestures that Audrey would normally stick her nose up at. But when Nathan did it she felt like she was special. She hates getting all corny, rainbows and puppies, but she couldn't help it. He made everything so easy to handle. Like this crazy messed up town couldn't wipe the grin off her face no matter what.

Nathan got in the car and started it and off they went to his house. They spent the ten minute drive holding hands in comfortable silence, and Nathan felt guilty for not telling her his trouble came back, but he didn't want to worry her. She'd just gotten back, and he wanted to spend the day with the woman he loves. No worries, no fear, just the two of them. It seemed so perfect it seemed too good to be true. Hopefully that wasn't the case.


A few hours later they were sitting in his bedroom, talking about meaningless nothings and everything that had happened since she'd left, except Paige, James, and Nathan's trouble. Audrey looked so happy, Nathan couldn't muster up the courage to tell her something he knew would wipe the smile off her face. So he left the room to make her coffee, and to clear his mind.

He couldn't believe it, she was here. She was really here. He couldn't tell anyone yet. If they knew it would be a repeat of when Paige showed up. Everyone had started freaking out, asking about the troubles, and the guard even showed up at his door. He couldn't take that again, and he certainly wouldn't be able to hide it from Audrey. She was no ditz, and he knew he couldn't keep her here forever, as much as he'd like to. She'd figure it out, and straight back to trouble solving and feeling guilty it would be. And he would not let Parker feel guilty about something that probably wasn't her fault.

He heard the ding of the coffee machine and poured them each a cup. Nathan decided to quickly put an ice cube in his and checked the temperature once it melted.

103°

Perfect! He hid the thermometer and brought the coffee to his room, where Audrey was waiting in the T-shirt and sweatpants she'd put on, since a lot of her clothes were still her from when she'd spend the night. He smiled, handing her the coffee.

Audrey was still processing all of this information. Duke was alive, which was good. Haven was extremely calm, which both she and Nathan were thankful for. Now all that was left was to convince him to let her go back to work, get to experience what being a cop was like when your town was calm and normal. All the drama was over, and Audrey could take the questions people had about the troubles. So why did she get the feeling Nathan wasn't telling her something. Something important.

"What aren't you telling me?" She asked casually, staring at him. He hadn't sat down, which was strange. Nathan almost choked on his coffee, which Audrey noticed. He is definitely hiding something, she thought. Nathan quickly regained his composed, but upon seeing Audrey giving him the tell me what you're hiding or you're screwed look realized it was game over. He sighed and sat down, knowing it was time to tell her everything.

"Parker, there are some things that I need to tell you, about what happened after you left." He began. Audrey scoffed a little, but he could see the playfulness in her expression.

"Gee, I had no idea." She said sarcastically, making them both chuckle. Nathan took a deep breath, biting his lip, and began the conversation he'd been dreading. This was going to be a very long afternoon.


Shocked didn't even begin to describe how Audrey felt. She had spent half an hour scolding Nathan about not telling her about his trouble's reappearance immediately, but then calmed down and let him continue. By now it was dark out, and her coffee cup way long empty, and she said the only thing she could really think of.

"Woah." She breathed. Nathan chuckled and nodded, the humor slowly leaving him. She'd just been told that an overlay took over her body, and Nathan didn't know what she'd say or do. He was a little scared.

"Well, that certainly explains why you don't wanna let me go back to work." She started, and Nathan closed his eyes. He knew what was coming.

"But, if the troubles really are coming back, I need to do what I've always done. And that's helping people." She finished. Nathan sighed, he'd been right about where this was going. He also knew that Audrey would go nuts if he tried making her lay low. So he decided compromising was the only way he could get a little of what he wanted. Audrey was stubborn and bull-headed, and she did what she wanted. It was one of the things he found so attractive about her.

"Okay then, I'll tell you what. Tomorrow we'll go by the Gull and the morgue, and then to Dwight's place. That way we can tell Duke, Vicky, Gloria, and Dwight that you're here. Then tomorrow night I'll get everything sorted out so you can come back to work the day after tomorrow, next day at the latest." Nathan proposed. Audrey thought for a moment, knowing that he was trying to keep her away from the majority of the town as long as he could, but he deserved a small win.

"Sounds good!" She agreed with a nod and a smile. She wanted to get back to work asap. She loathed being home all day, even with Nathan. She was bored half to death.

"Perfect." He smiled devilishly, pulling her in for a kiss. She smiled against his mouth, this was the first time he'd kissed her all day. Audrey loved making him feel this way, knowing that she kept him grounded. If she couldn't take away his trouble, at least she could make him feel.

They fell asleep about an hour later, and Audrey couldn't wait until tomorrow.
