All Good Things Must Come To an End
It's been a year now;
Jack is in a committed relationship with Lana. She shares a great bond with him and Matthew, almost like family. Matthew has accepted that his mother is long gone and has taken Lana in as his mother, which surprised Jack but deep down he didn't want his son calling Lana 'Mum'. He thought Matthew would forget about his real mother. Why was he feeling that? Was it normal to think that? Jack always tries to find little reasons to pull him away from the relationship he had. Lana was always persistent and understanding with him. She put up a great deal of fights to keep him.
Nathan was devastated when Malty left, he went overseas trying to find her with no help from the girls he had to find Malty from what he remembered about her stories about places in Australia.
Poppie and Bobby aren't together, like Lana, she's trying to win his heart over but he makes it hard for her. It's like a game of cat and mouse. He's the same ol' Bobby when it comes to crime and been the macho guy, that always get in between.
…
The blonde woman sat amongst other people in the court and waited aimlessly.
"On the account of attempted murder, we find the defendant guilty" The juror standing up told everyone. "On the account of Murder One, we find the defendant guilty."
The blonde woman sighed with great relief.
She turned to the officer next to her, who had been with her all the way. "Is it all over?"
"Yes it is Ma'am. Finally." The officer said. She closed her eyes and felt the happiness fill inside her. "It's safe now. You can go back to your family."
The lady smiled, waiting for this day to come. And it has.
"Finally." She said one last time before leaving the court room, looking at him for the last time. The man was going to be in jail for a long time.
…
September 3rd
Lana led Jack into his room, looking at him with her fake puppy dog eyes. She sat on his lap, and ran her fingers through his hair.
"Lucciardos?" Jack asked trying to pronounce the word properly. "I don't think so."
"Jackieee!" Lana whined. "Pleaseee! It's your birthday, we have to celebrate it."
"Yea, celebrate it." Jack said seriously, looking at her closely. "But why in a fancy restaurant?"
"Yeah, it won't be boring. OH OH! They've got music there." Lana bargained with Jack, trying to make him say yes.
"What kind of music?" Jack asked.
"Well, uhm, there's a pianist" Lana told him innocently. "And! Oh! Someone will be singing."
"OHHHH, how exciting!" Jack said sarcastically. "NO!"
"Baby, come on" Lana teased him with a kiss. "Don't you want your present from me?" She seductively unbuttoned her shirt and made his eyes wide like a little fat boy in a candy store.
"Okay, okay" Jack finally agreeing to go to a snobby restaurant.
Lana had a huge grin and said, "Good! Because I already made reservations! Everyone will be there."
Jack nodded. "So, now that I finally agreed… Do I, uhh, get my present now?" Jack raised one of his eyebrows, Lana knowing what he was implying. "With Matthew at Jerry's house, I think we can have time for you know what…"
"Ahuh" Lana nodding, she got off his lap and headed towards the door. She turned around and asked, "Shower?"
…
Daniela, Amelia and Matthew were playing tiggy in front of the house while Jerry and Camille watched on from the steps.
Not far from the house, the blonde woman with sunglasses sat in her car watching them play. She smiled with tears running down her face. She hasn't seen them for over a year. How was she going to reveal herself? How would they feel? As thoughts were circulating inside her head, a figure outside her driver's side door had startled her.
"What the fuck you doing lady?" The man outside the car asked, assuming she was stalking his family across the street.
She recognized the voice, it was Bobby. 'Uh-oh' She thought. 'Busted.'
"What the hell are you doing? You're fucken lucky I-" Bobby warned.
"Shutup, Bobby!" Exclaimed the woman. "Get in the bloody car!"
Bobby stood there, confused, somehow the voice seemed familiar so he did what the woman told him and went in. He wanted to find out what the hell was going on.
She took off her sunnies and smiled at him. "Hey Bobby, how you doing?"
"T-T-Tyiona?" Bobby asked in awe. He was definitely shocked, she had a lot to answer for. "What the fuck is going on? What – aren't you meant to be dead?"
"Oh, thanks a lot!" Tyiona tried to joke.
"You look so different, was hard to recognize you" Bobby stated, just checking her out. "You colored your hair to blonde? Looks hot on you."
Tyiona blushed, knowing Bobby hardly gives any good compliments. "Thankyou"
"Back to my question" Bobby ordered. "What the hell is going on? Did you have a fake death? What the fuck! I can't get my head around this."
"Calm down, man. People are gonna see us!" Tyiona instructed him, not wanting attention from the ongoing pedestrians walking on the footpath. "Look, I'll explain it to ya."
"You have a lot to explain, not only to me but to everyone. You know that, it's not gonna be easy now." Bobby said sternly.
She nodded. "I had to fake my own death but I had help from the police. The real reason why I came back with Matty is because I needed him in a safe place which was with you guys."
"Help from the pigs? What the hell happened?" Bobby interrupted, just questions after questions popped into mind.
"Will ya just let me finish?" Tyiona said in frustration. "You remember Michael? Well he was very possessive with me when I tried to get away from him when I was pregnant with Matthew. I also found out things he did when he went on his trips. I just got freaked out and I tried to get away from him and he found out and he tried to kill me. I was too scared to testify against him so I was under witness protection and I had to fake my death, so Michael would think I was dead. It's complicated I know…"
"Why didn't you tell us?" Bobby asked in confusion. "We could of helped."
"Exactly." Tyiona said. "I knew if I told youse, you guys would interfere and you would have wrecked the case. I couldn't take the chance of any of you guys getting hurt. You have to understand that. Knowing you Mercers, you would of killed him."
"Ty, I didn't know what he put you through. We just thought that he was over and done with." Bobby told her.
She looked back over where her son was playing. "It doesn't matter now. All it matters is I can be with Matthew now, I know it's going to be a huge shock but I'll have to work a way around this. Shit."
"Shit, Ty. Of course it's gonna be a huge shock" Bobby agreed. "I nearly had a heart attack when I saw ya. Oh. You do know that a lot has since you "died"."
"Yeah it was to be expected" Tyiona said as she looked back at Bobby. "What? What is that look for?"
"Uhh," Bobby began as he nervously strummed his fingers on the dashboard. "Jack has moved on. I mean his got a girlfriend and the three of them are getting along great."
"Three of them?" Tyiona wondered. "M-M-atthew?" She let out a loud sigh. "I guess I can't be selfish and have everything worked out perfectly for me to continue my life. So much for a surprise birthday visit for Jack."
"I'll help you get rid of her, if you want" Bobby suggested, he never liked Lana, she was possessive over Jack and wasn't a good role model for Matthew. At least that's what he thought. "I'll pick her over you anyday."
"Awww, that's so sweet of you" Tyiona thanked. "But I'm not going to do that to Jack and her. All I want is my baby back."
"Well, I know what their doing for his birthday. Maybe you can reveal yourself then, and get her worked up Tyiona styles." Bobby said with an evil grin. "I really don't like her. What do you say, Little Ty? Come back with style? I won't tell anyone til you show up tonight."
"Are you serious?" Ty asked. "Where are they having it?"
"At some shnobby restaurant that Lana chose, Lucciardo's" Bobby said. "You know it all seems perfect, they've got a pianist and you can sing. You'll shock the shits outta people."
"That's a good plan" Tyiona thought about it. "But I don't want anyone to have a heart attack."
