Summary: Secrets abound as Skye reluctantly returns to Australia at AJ's behest despite the fact its where her marriage to Jax ended in disaster the previous year. AU. Skye/Jax. SAX.

Author's Note: I am reposting some of the older works that I have saved on my harddrive. Old-time SAX fans may remember this story. It was originally posted under my other penname [MuseofJaynor] at the Skye messageboard fan fiction archive. Many people already know this, but in case you were wondering, yeah, that was me.

"You're here, Jax… How?"

"I… I'm here for Skye, Miranda… I… what are you doing here?"

Jax's ex-wife, Miranda Richardson, stepped out and shook her head. Now was not the time for explanations. "It doesn't matter... why are you here?"

"I… I… I've been looking for her… for so long… where is she?" Jax asked.

"Do you love her? Really love her, Jax?" Miranda asked.

Looking into her ex-husband's eyes, Miranda felt her heart clench as she recognized Jax was telling the truth we he said… "With everything I have… with all I am."

Nodding, Miranda then pointed towards Skye's room. "She's waiting, Jax."

"Skye?"

Miranda nodded.

"She's waiting for you to come in and wake her up from this horrible nightmare that she's been in for six months with a kiss," Miranda said.

"How?" Jax asked.

"Her father," Miranda said softly. "He was afraid of losing her again. He's kept her here for the past few months… he wanted her to think the kidney transplant didn't work… wasn't working. But, it is, Jax."

"She had a kidney transplant?" Jax asked.

Miranda nodded. "I… I don't know the specifics… but… the Chandler money… it… it can do a lot, you know?"

"Why is he doing this?"

"To control her," Miranda said. "He… he's waiting to see if he can keep her here long enough for his own recovery… he doesn't want to concede the fact that he's dying, Jax… and Skye isn't."

"Why did you call now?" Miranda shook her head, "If I'd known she had a daughter, a little girl waiting at home for her, I would have told her weeks ago no matter what Mr. Chandler was ordering me to do. A little girl needs her mother, Jax."

"Sydney… she needs Skye in more ways than you'll ever know… our baby's sick… and without a tissue donation from Skye… we've tried to match other family members… but… Skye's the only one on file who matches Sydney… without her… our daughter won't make it."

"Then I guess it's a very good thing that you came here today… against all odds, Jax…. You're here… and now, that's all that matters," Miranda said.

Jax looked at his ex-wife with a nod.

"Go to her. Take her home. Bring her little girl to her. Help her heal, help her become whole from these lies Mr. Chandler has overwhelmed her with….Make things right for them both….." Nodding at the door again, Miranda said. "Go, she's waiting for you, Jax…. Go."

And, with a speed so fast it surprised even him, Jax moved toward the door and finally through it. He stood for a moment in the doorway, watching her chest rise and fall in the hospital bed. And, then, he raced to her side, and breathed in her familiar sent. Giving a silent prayer to God, Jax prayed his life for having had not one life he thought lost restored to him when he discovered Sydney still lived, but for the second returned to this form as he held Skye in his vision once more.

Bending down, he murmured her name and then moved to kiss her as Miranda had suggested. Her eyes blinking open, Skye smiled.

"I'm dreaming again," she murmured.

Shaking his head, and raising her hand to feel the warm, steady beating of his heart, Jax said, "No, this is no dream, Skye. I've finally found you…. And I've come to take you home."

"To Sydney?"

Jax nodded, not sure if she referenced the city or their daughter. In either case, it was true.

And, looking up at Jax, despite not knowing the lies her father had told her about her condition or that her daughter really and truly needed her help, Skye knew that everything that once lay shattered would be fixed by she and Jax. What was once beyond repair would be fixed, healed, made complete by the pair that only had needed to bide their time for the right moment to make things whole between the family once more. It was okay now... things would be okay... they were together... they would be a family... together... because of their love for one another... that love made miracles possible. And, for both Jax and Skye, no happier end could be fashioned than that….
