Family Reunion

As soon as Emily heard she ran to the hospital with the other two children. When they got there Rossi immediately took them to the room Adam was being held in. When she got there she saw Aaron sitting by his bedside and Adam smiled at them.

"Adam," Lucy shouted running up to him and hugging him. He hugged her back smiling. They'd always been close and Adam had always tried to be Lucy's protector so they were both so happy to see each other again.

Aaron got up and went to Emily as Jack also went to his brother. She draped her arms over him and kissed him sweetly and tenderly on the mouth with the most desire she'd ever felt. Yes she knew it now she was back in love with Aaron. This time it felt so right. Life was going to be great. He just couldn't believe it. The woman he'd been in love with for six years was kissing him. This had to be some kind of dream. He'd saved his son and the woman he loved was kissing him on the same day.

He stepped back calming his heart rate and hoping to God this was true. She looked at him hurt and confused. She thought he loved her as much as she now did him. Had she got their signs crossed?

"Do you really love me, Emily? I couldn't handle it if you didn't. I've been in love with you for six years," he said trying to look her in the eye but failing. He was scared this was all a dream and he'd have to wake up without the woman he'd loved for so long. That would be too painful.

"Aaron, I love you so much and I never want to move out because it would be too painful to wake up and not find any sign of you in the house," she answered stroking her finger down his cheek. "If you'll have me I want to be yours."

"If I'll have you?" he smiled. "Are you kidding me? I've been in love with you for six years. Of course I'll have you."

He stroked his finger down her cheek and brought her head close to his and kissed her while Jack smiled at them. He was so happy for his father that he finally had the woman of his dreams. He'd had to console him whenever Emily would go back to London with her late husband. Aaron would just walk around the house feeling empty and lost then.

They were going to be one big happy family. Emily and Aaron were finally together and Adam was home.

When the kiss ended he informed her, "They said he only has a few cuts and bruises and a mild concussion. They want to keep him in overnight for observation."

She nodded and went to sit by her son and gave him a small hug stroking his hair saying, "I'm so glad you're ok."

He smiled back at her and answered, "I missed you, mummy."

"I missed you too, Adam."

They were both so proud to be the parents of this little brave defender. He was now the most popular boy in his class and soon became the most popular boy in his school but they managed to keep him out of the public eye for his protection. Aldous Swann was soon imprisoned for life.
