Chapter 6: Returning Home

Jude awoke to see the rising sun over the Toronto River. She looked next to her and Tommy was writing something down on paper. Jude didn't know what it was but, she knew it was probably a song of some sorts.

"What's that?" Jude asked spying his paper curiously.

"Something, a surprise for you." He said and Jude's face lit up with excitement.

"When do I get this surprise?"

"I'm still deciding that right now." He said and her face immediately fell.

"You know that I don't like surprises." She pointed out to him.

"I know that but, I have never surprised you in a good way before though." He said and he leaned into kiss her on the head. Jude returned his kiss with a passionate one that she delivered directly to Tommy's lips.

Tommy's hands slid around Jude's body pulling her closer to him. Jude intertwined her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. When they pulled apart a current of electricity shot through both of them. Jude clasped her hand with Tommy's and let their hands fall in between the two seats.

"Attention people please fasten your seatbelts as we make our way to the landing strip of Toronto International Airport. Please remain seated until otherwise instructed." The captain said over the intercom. They fastened their seatbelts and they prepared for landing and the return to a place they hadn't seen and to people they had barely heard from in seven months.

The plane landed and Tommy and Jude unbuckled their seatbelts and grabbed their carryon bags and exited the plane. They walked through the airport hand in hand. Jude looked and saw the front page of a tabloid from when she and Tommy were in Japan. She laughed at it and went on. She was used to the tabloids following her and Tommy around during the time that they spent in Asia, and they both just let it go. They didn't let the stories get to them because they knew that none of them were real.

They got to baggage claim and got all of their bags and they walked out of the airport and Tommy hailed a cab for them. They put their bags in and got in the cab.

"Where to?" The driver asked them.

"4129 Rosemary Carson Drive." Jude said. She told him to go to her house. Tommy looked at her surprisingly and then he remembered that his car was in her driveway.

"Nice on Harrison. Do you think my car is still there?"

"Nope, I told Sadie where you left your keys and she drove the Viper to your house and parked it in the garage and out the keys back where they belonged." Jude smiled when she said this.

"You let Sadie drive my Viper?"

"What, would you rather my dad drive it?" She cocked an eyebrow at him waiting on his answer.

"Hell no." He automatically responded to her.

"That's what I thought Quincy." She said and he grabbed her hand and he brought it to his mouth and he kissed it, and then he intertwined their hands and let them fall on the seat.

"This is going to be an interesting night." He said to her and he closed his eyes.

"Alright, twenty bucks even." The cab driver said as he pulled into the Harrison driveway. Tommy pulled out a twenty and he handed it to the driver. The driver popped the trunk and Jude went around to grab her bags but, Tommy beat her to it.

"You do know that I can get my own bags right?" She asked him.

"But what kind of husband would I be if I did that." He said. He continued to grab her bags and his own.

Jude watched her new husband and she was actually happy that they were home. They had been married for two months now and the press hadn't found out yet. They were both pleased that this was still a secret. Jude didn't tell Sadie, and Tommy didn't tell Kwest. They both agreed that it could wait until they got home.

Jude grabbed Tommy's hand and they waked up the front porch stairs to her house. Jude unlocked the door, and Tommy shut the door behind them. He went upstairs and put Jude's stuff in her room.

"You can leave your stuff up there." Jude yelled to him and she saw her father appear from the kitchen with Sadie and Kwest.

"Your home." He said to his daughter and he hugged her.

"It took you both long enough." Sadie said as she hugged her little sister. Tommy came down the stairs and Kwest hugged him. After Sadie finally let go of Jude she went over and hugged Tommy.

"Good to have you home." She told him. Kwest was the last to hug Jude.

"Welcome back." Kwest said. Jude's dad said hello to Tommy but, that was it.

"We have something to tell you." Jude said with a smile on her face.

"Who came in the door Sadie?" Jude heard a woman yell. The woman came out holding a mans hand then it soon dawned upon her that it was her mom and Don.

"When did you get home?" Jude asked in astonishment.

"This morning. We are staying here for a while."

"Oh," was all Jude could say.

"Jude what did you have to say?" Sadie asked her little sister. Jude smiled before she opened her mouth to speak.
