In the confusion and the aftermath,
You are my signal fire.
The only resolution and the only joy,
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes.

"Caitlin" Ari said softly as he looked at Kate in her seat. She looked up at him with tears running down her cheeks. "We are here" He said taking her hand from the seat and gently pulling her up. "I will be taking you to the hospital"

Kate just nodded and followed him outside towards the motorcycle waiting for them.

20 minutes later Ari stoped the motorcycle in the car park of the hospital, Kate getting off the bike and he taking off his helmet.

"Thank you Ari" She said leaning towards him and kissing him.

"Ring me when you would like me to come get you. I will be at the motel"

"Thank you" She smiled, he leaned towards her to kiss her, then put his helmet on and sped away.

Kate sighed and began to walk towards the hospital when suddenly she was surrounded.

"Who was that?" Warren teased. Kate continued to walk.

"No-one" She said.

"Well, it was obviously someone" Her second oldest brother, Drake, said.

"How's Dad?" She asked, ignoring the questions.

"They're monitoring him, he may need surgery" The youngest of her older brothers, James, who was a doctor, said "But seriously, who's the guy?"

Kate rolled her eyes, walked into the hospital and ran straight into her big sister "April" Kate said hugging her sister. April looked exactly like Kate, but she had their mother's blond hair and blue eyes.

"Dad's room's this way" April said grabbing Kate's hand and beginning to lead her down the hall, their brothers trailing behind. Suddenly April stopped and slowly turned to look at Kate. "Please tell me that is not a ring I feel on your finger" She said.

"April, where's Dad's room?" Kate asked sighing. She wished she had taken the rings off while she was on the plane. Too late now, she thought.

"There" April said pointing at the door in front of them. Kate walked past her brothers and went into the room.

"Mum" Kate said walking quickly to her mother Claire and hugging her "How's Dad?"

"I'm fine!" Her father Lucas said from the hospital bed. "Now come give your father a hug"

Kate smiled and walked to her father, leaning down and hugging him.

"Angel, how've you been?" He asked.

"I've been good Dad" She said "What have the doctors said?" She asked him and her mother.

"He had a mild heart attack, and he's going to need to have surgery" Claire said. Kate heard her brother's and sister come into the room and turned around.

"Ran into the doctor outside" James said "He says Dad's gonna need a Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery"

After asking 'Dr. James' as the siblings called him many questions, April looked at her Mother and Father "Katie got married!" She said.

Claire stared at Kate with shock written across her face "You did?"

Kate glared at her sister before looking at Claire again "Yes"

"When?" Lucas asked.

"Two weeks ago, in Italy. It was just us and his sister" She said

"What's his name?" All three of her brothers said in the tone of 'We will hunt him down' brother over protectiveness.

"I'd rather not tell you" Kate said.

"Why? April asked.

"It's a long story. It's safer that you not know" She said, avioding the questioning looks from everyone in the room. "I'm going to go to the motel now, I'll come back in the morning" She said leaning down and kissing her father's cheek before hugging her mother. "Bye"

When she walked out of the room she didn't notice April following her. She walked outside into the late afternoon and pulled out her cell phone.

"Can you come get me now?" She asked quietly when Ari answered the phone.

"Look to your left"

Kate keep the phone to her ear and looked to the left of the car park. She saw Ari leaning against his bike, putting his phone in his inside jacket pocket and crossing his arms with a smirk on his face. Kate walked towards him and stopped a foot in front of him.

"How is your father?" He asked.

"He's alright. He needs surgery, other than that he's...alright" She said softly. Ari reached out and put one arm around her shoulders, pulling her into him and kissing the top of her head.

April quickly walked to her car, not being seen by Kate or her mystery man, and waited.

"Come Caitlin, you should get some rest" He murmured into her hair. She nodded and looked up at him.

"Thank you" Kate said softly "For everything"

"You do not need to thank me Caitlin" He said reaching behind him and handing her the helmet from the seat. She smiled when she took it and put it on, getting on the bike behind him and wrapping her arms around his stomach.

April watched as they sped away, starting her car up and following behind.

Ari closed the motel door behind them as he and Kate walked into the room.

"This is not a motel" Kate said with a laugh.

"It is rather extravagant" Ari said setting his keys down and taking his jacket off, leaving him wearing his black t-shirt "It seems as though it is the most expensive motel in America"

Kate walked through the living room area into a large bedroom and turning to face him "Are you coming?" She asked, unzipping the jacket she was wearing slowly.

Ari walked through the room and into the bedroom, going straight up to her and kissing her, pushing the jacket from her shoulders, letting it land on the floor. He buried his hand in her hair and she grabbed the bottom of his shirt and pulled it over his head, their lips fusing together once more.

There was a banging on the door and Ari and Kate broke apart.

"I will get it" Ari said as he walked towards the door. When he opened the door he was face to face with April.

"I gotta say Katie, you have good taste" April said her eyes sweeping down Ari's chest, before looking over at Kate, who was rushing towards them. She threw Ari's shirt at him for him to put on and angrily looked at her sister.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Kate asked her.

"I was sent by the troupes to see the Husband" She said.

"You have to leave" Kate said trying to push her big sister out of the room.

"What's so secretive about him?" April asked over her shoulder.

"Please trust me with this" Kate said "You can't say anything to anyone. Alright?"

April nodded "Alright. I'll go" She said walking through the door way "Oh, and...Congratulations" She smiled. Kate smiled back and closed the door as April walked to her car. She turned back towards Ari.

"She won't say anything" Kate said quietly. Ari nodded and walked to the bed sitting on the edge and waiting for Kate to walk to him. She came towards him and sat on his lap facing him.

"I love you" She murmured against his neck. He pulled her against him and laid them down on the bed.

"I love you too, my Caitlin"

"Abby"

"Oh my god! Kate!" Abby exclaimed turning and facing the three others in the Bullpen "Where are you? Are you ok?"

"I'm fine Abby, I'm in Indiana, Why?"

Abby's phone was on loudspeaker, Abby and the others looked at the Plasma in the middle of the Bullpen. It show a picture of Ari Haswari leading a blindfolded Kate into an aeroplane.

Review!
