Ellie held onto Finn as they slept in the back of the car on the way back to the US. Mike looked back at them and covered them with a blanket before he turned around in the seat and looked out the window. John looked over at him and smiled. He knew his little brother was in love with Ellie.

"You're in love with her, aren't you?" John asked as they drove.

"Yes. I don't know how it happened but yes I do." Mike replied.

"Do you think she feels the same?"

"I don't know for sure but maybe. I mean we did sleep together."

"Talk to her about it." John said. "They come from a nice family. They're good girls." Mike looked at John.

"You're in love with her sister."

John looked at him. "And how would you know that?"

"The same way you know I love Ellie. So, does Allie feel the same about you?"

"I'm pretty sure. We slept together also and I know she has feelings for me." John sighed. "Now I just have to make sure I don't lose her."

Mike looked at him. "I thought you said Allie was okay."

"She was stable when I left but still critical. It could change in a minute. The doctors don't know how she will do yet. It's still very critical."

Finn whined in the backseat and Mike turned to see the little boy awake. "Hey buddy. Did you have a nice nap?" Finn nodded.

"Mommy's sleeping?" Mike smiled.

"Yeah. Mommy's sleeping. Are you hungry?" Finn nodded. "Alright. We'll stop at the next exit and get something to eat and we'll let mommy sleep okay?" Finn nodded. Mike pulled him up into the front seat and the child instantly settled against his chest and sucked his thumb. Mike held him close and rubbed his back and Finn was soon asleep again. John looked over at the sight and smiled. Mike looked good with a kid. His cell phone ringing caught his attention. He picked it up when he saw it was Stephen.

"Hey."

"Just wanted to give you an update on Allie. She's awake and she's asking for you."

"We're on our way home. Will you tell her we're coming?"

"Of course. See you soon." He hung up.

"Everything okay?" Mike asked as they pulled into the drive-thru of a McDonald's.

"Allie is awake and asking for me. So we have to get home."

Mike nodded. An hour later, they pulled up in front of the hospital. John looked over at Mike. "Go inside. We'll be in in a few minutes."

John nodded and headed in the hospital. He saw Stephen waiting outside the ICU. "How is she?"

"She's awake. The doctors said she's still critical but they feel she will be okay. They repaired the damaged and gave her blood."

"I'm going to see her." He said walking in the room.

Mike gently shook Ellie's shoulder and she opened her eyes and looked at him. "Hey, did you sleep well?" She nodded.

"Yeah I did. Where are we?"

"At the hospital. Allie's awake." Ellie smiled.

"Is she okay?"

"After you eat, we can go in and find out." He said as he shifted with Finn in his arms.

"I can take him if you want." Ellie said. Mike smiled and shook his head.

"He's fine. I swear I would never do anything to hurt either one of you."

"I believe you." She smiled.

John walked in the room and saw Allie in the bed. He walked closer and saw that she had fallen back asleep. He laughed a little and kissed her gently on the forehead causing her to wake up. "Hey, I didn't mean to wake you."

"I was waiting you." She said softly. "Did you find them?"

"Yes. They are both okay." Allie smiled. "We also proved that she didn't do it. We have Randy's statement and a recording of Drew confessing to how he set the whole thing up."

"Are they behind bars? Is she free? And who is we?"

"Randy is in jail. Drew is dead. And yes she is free. And the we is me and my brother who is a bounty hunter. He has been helping Ellie."

"Where is she? And Finn?"

"They are out in the car and I'm sure on their way." He smiled. "Allie, Randy helped kill Phil. He admitted it. His agent actually did the killing but Randy was there. I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault. You gave my sister back to me. You cleared her name."

"I'm just sorry. I know you loved Randy."

She took his hand in hers. "At one time. I did. And I thought we would be together forever. But it wasn't meant to be. He and I want different. And now he can move on. I'm moving on and have been for awhile." She smiled. "And if you want, I would like you to be apart of that."

He smiled and leaned in to kiss her softly. "I'd love that".

"You know if you don't stop that, you will end up with one of these." They heard from the door. They turned to see Ellie, Mike and Finn standing there. Ellie rushed in and hugged her sister. "I'm so glad you're okay."

"I'm glad you're okay." Allie replied. She then looked at Finn. "Both of you."

"Aunt Allie got an owie?" Finn asked.

"Yes baby. Aunt Allie has an owie. But I'll be all better soon."

"I wuv you Aunt Allie." Allie smiled.

"I love you too." She looked at Mike. "You must be Mike."

"He's mommy's friend." Allie smiled.

"Glad you're okay." Mike said.

"Thank you. For everything." Mike looked at Allie.

"No problem."

"Why don't you and Ellie take Finn back to my house and crash for the night? You both look pretty tired."

"Are you sure? I mean we just got here." Ellie asked.

"Go. You can come see me tomorrow."

Ellie nodded and hugged her. "I love you Allie."

"I love you too. Now take Finn and Mike and go rest." She nodded again and walked out with Mike and Finn. Allie turned to John. "Are you staying here?"

"Yes." He smiled and kissed her. "There is no where else I would rather be."

"Good."

Ellie and Mike walked out to the car and got in. "So...we're going back to Allie's?" Ellie nodded.

"All Finn's stuff is there. You can go home after you drop us off, if you want." He shook his head.

"I'd like to stick around. Maybe we could talk. Watch a movie or something." She nodded. "Maybe I can teach you the hot chocolate recipe." She looked at him.

"I thought that was a family recipe?" He leaned over and kissed her softly.

"We can talk about that too."

She smiled as they drove toward Allie's. They pulled up to the house and headed in. "Your sister has a nice place."

"Well she should. She is a lawyer plus she got a nice settlement when she and Randy divorced. I still can't believe he helped Drew. It's just all crazy."

"I know. But it's over now. And you're free." She nodded and smiled.

"I'm glad I'm free. Now I can get on with my life. And begin to rebuild it. It seems like such a long time since anything good happened to me."

"Well good things are going to continue." he smiled.

"Just so you know...I don't just randomly sleep with people. And I am over Phil." He leaned in and kissed her.

"I never thought for a second that you would. I wanna be a part of the rebuilding process, if you'll let me."

"I would like that." She smiled and then looked at Finn. "What about you little man? Do you want Mike to be apart of our lives?"

"Yes." Finn replied.

She smiled and then turned to Mike. "I guess it's unanimous."

He smiled and kissed her again. He couldn't wait for them to figure things out and move on with their lives.
