Nearly gasping, Lainie's earth toned eyes widened slightly. Turning swiftly from the bush to face her mommy's husband, her frown lifted but it wasn't quite real.. "No one..just my fwien," She went no further to elaborate.

"Oy vey!" Laih exclaimed, throwing her hands up in the air and heaved a large sigh. "Awight..D-" The toddler paused. Remmy said it's disresectful to Ben-Daddy to call Axel that.. LaihLaih reminded herself, frowning subconsciously again. "-Axew. I ish just change wewange bedoom pwans again to fit vem bofh, It ish wowk.."

Leading the girls from their room, down the hall and hooked a right into the master bedroom; Emmylyne smiled, brownish green orbs making contact with sunlight seeping through the large window to the side of the fair-sized mahogany dresser.

"I know you'd be, of course they would. Your a girl, girl's are normally coddled more then boys are in a family." The grown woman giggled, finding amusement in Valencia's remark.

Strolling over to their walk in closet, Emmy slid open the pure white doors and turned on the light before continuing inside. "I'm sure you'll find something..some wouldn't believe it, your brother being one of them, but I do have a number of dresses..both from my teenage years and more recent ones." It was true, as a young girl there were few times her friends (other then Eli) would see her in a dress unless it was on a special occasion. But, admittedly, there had been alot of those.

"Oh..oh alright," Axel said a bit hesitantly. It was definitely possible that it was an imaginary friend, but he couldn't be too sure. His sea green eyes scanned the bushes, but no sign of life was to be found. He shrugged, allowing himself to sit upon the grass a bit away from his step-daughter. why had she hesitated when she was going to call him dad? Instead, she had called him by his name. That wasn't normal of her.

"That sounds like a great idea. I'm sure the babies would love to be taken care of by their big sister," he said with a nod and a smile. Lainie was adorable and he was so proud to call her his step-daughter. He began to pick small pieces of grass as he breathed in the warm summer day. He was just glad that Lainie was taking this so well. At least she hadn't almost fainted like he had.

Vee followed quickly behind her sister while dragging Savannah along with her as she giggled uncontrollably. She was so glad to be living with girls. Even their Aunt Cat's house had too many boys in it. Especially hyper boys, just like Dusty!

"And boy am I. Those two won't give it a rest. I swear, Dusty's worse than Axel," she chuckled as she ran her fingers through her hair. That was actually quite true. Dusty seemed to be more overprotective than her butch older brother.

"Goodness!" she exclaimed as she walked into the large walk-in closet. There was a whole section completely dedicated to dresses. She looked back at her two sisters and placed her hands on her hips. "What are you two waiting for? I need help!" She had to look her absolute best for Cisco. He was, after all, her prince charming. And she wanted all the help she could get. Not only with her outfit, but with breaking down her two loving brothers.

About a month or so, maybe even less, had past. Emmylyne and Axel were away for afew hours, dropping the girl's off at the hogwart's express and Dustin off, at his destination that would then take him to Durmstrang.

Eli had given birth to a goregous baby boy, at 4:28AM the following morning after the night they had left for St. Sebastians. And now, back in Finnegan's cousins house they were. Lainie was here with them, too. Playing up in her room, she had told Elissa while the young woman put a kettle filled with water on the stove; preparing tea, and biscuits (Laih's suggestion) were already inside the oven.

Re-entering the living room, family room, whichever you would prefer to call it; Eli pulled her hands from the inside of her white zip-up sweatshirt, that had the deep sky blue stripe down both sides, she also wore matching pants. The random number '53' in the same blue color was printed on both the upper-left side of jacket, and on the right on her bottoms; as if a number for a team or supporting a team player by that number.

With amber eyes gazing lovingly down at the bundle, the new mother ran a gentle hand across the dark brown fabric of the stroller carriage, moving next to fix the sleeping newborn's blanket and brush her lips lightly across his head.

Leaving Little Ashton Chase O’Callaghan to his peaceful rest, She plopped gently onto the couch beside the baby-comfortable stroller. Adjusting a pillow or two behind her and slipped her feet from the 'ballet flats' as they were called, her legs coming to rest against her, Elissa leanned into the corner of the cushions and yawned softly, smiling as she stole another glance towards the baby.

"Finn?"

Emmylyne had drove the rather stylish, ruby red minivan back, nearing their neighborhood just now. No, they hadn't drove to the train stations, that would have taken more then a day to drive from Valencia to London. They had driven to the local ministry of magic though, for they needed to pay the place a visit and since they were there already, a kind worker offered the kid's to use a fireplace or two to make sure they stayed on time.

Pulling into the drive way, Ems parked the vehicle and unbuckled her seatbelt, gathering whatever she had brought or had been left and locked the door before proceeding to the house. Axel had told her he needed another moment with the Head of the department he worked in, and that she could go, he had magical transpertation and would meet her home. Knowing their dear friends would be awaiting them, and she was slightly tired, Emmy had agreed.

Being four months along with twins, Emmylyne and Elissa were probably very similar in weight, considering Eli hadn't slimmed down too much then what was normal in the past three weeks, and she had gained, obviously.

Running her fingers through some strands of golden brownish blonde, straight down hair Ems quietly entered, door automatically being pushed closed behind her. "Hello?" She called, softly, just incase there was a chance someone was catching a nap. "I'm home.."

A small smile appeared and played at her lips, coming to stand next to the endtable she gazed down at the infant and nodded, non-verbally meaning to say she heard when informed that her best friend assumed her three year old had fallen asleep, upstairs.

A worn foot stepped down on the grass. The owner of the foot, was none other than Benjman Lawley. His cruly brown hair, was longer than ever and had stray leaves in it. The after math of sleeping in the forest. The shirt on his back was so dirty, that the color of the shirt was undistinguishable. His jeans were torn in so many places, that it was hard to tell what was keeping them on, which happened to be an old rope. He held his arm close to his stomach, not wanting to move it much. He had a small limp in his left leg, but he continued on.

He couldnt believe he had made it. After three weeks of escaping that awful place, he was finally at a place he could call home. Benji was a little disoriented from the long trip. He couldnt even figure out what year it was. All he could remember was being on an important Auror misson in Puerto Rico. The next thing he that happened was being kiddnapped by a mad man by the name of Remmy.

He didnt know how long Remmy had him captured. Just that he had finally gotten away and that he was going to be able to see the people he loved again. They probably all thought he was dead. Having been gone for so long, and disappearing on his mission. But he knew Emmy would never think he was dead. She would keep looking until she found him. But luckily she wont have to look anymore, because he had found her.

The only thing that kept Ben going was the fact that he was going to be able to see everybody. His sister, whom he couldnt get enough of. Especially Jenny, who he watched over with all his heart. Axel and Finn and all his other mates. He hoped they didnt worry about him to much. Laine, his daughter. The baby was probably not so tiny anymore. She had to have grown. He knew she would probably not remember him. It hurt him a lot to know this fact, but he is going to be there for her no matter what now. But the person who he missed most of all, was his Emmylyne. The girl he loved no matter what.

When the house was visible, a small smile was seen behind a dirty and beaten face. One of his eyes was swollen shut, but he could still see the house clearly. He made his was across the lawn and limped to the door. This was it. He was finally home. He knocked and waited for somebody to open the door.

"I've got it," The young woman stated, after hearing a firm knock at the door and headed out of the room to get it.

Emmylyne couldn't keep from wondering who it could be, since they were expecting no more quests that she knew of. Subconsciously she smoothed out the long, forrest green sweater she wore that hid her normally rather petite frame very well. "Coming.." She called, to tell the person behind the door not to leave as she reached out and turned the knob the small smile that was once on her lips faded quicker then seventy six year old pictures from their original color.

That wasn't Benjamin..it wasn't. Benji had died almost three years ago. This sick joke was crossing the line..it had crossed the line.

Stepping out of the house, Emmylyne was careful to close the door behind her, not wanting Elissa or Finn to know what was going on in the least. Quickly her earth toned eyes turned swiftly onto the imposter, or so she thought he was. "I don't know who you are, or what you find so amusing about trying to scare me with those letters but this far beyond crossing the line!" She said, her voice going harshly low and she had to force it not to break under emotions.

Tears started to sting her eyes, furiously. Emmy couldn't help put partly hope maybe it really was Benji? Her first love..her best friend..someone who still and always would a big place in her heart.

Not it's not possible..this is what those creep's want, they want you to believe it Emmylyne. Their playing with your head by using things important to you..don't let them, think about your families safety. It's not real..

"This is far past a line..this is past a country. I don't care what the twisted purpose of this is, you don't disturb Ben's grave! You have no right to touch him, let alone disguise yourself as him!" It was clear, She was dead set on someone had disturbed Benjamin's resting spot to get his curly hair for a poly juice potion. And Emmylyne planned to handle this herself, or atleast first.

Again, she stared at him for what felt like hours but was actually only seconds. Feelings of guilt, anger, sadness and even longing rushed through her, at that time. It couldn't be Benji..in some way, she wanted it to honestly be him but she also knew that would make things ten times more complicated. She was with Axel now..it had been almost three years since Benjamin had been stated as dead..and unnoticeably with her knee length sweater wrapped around her loosely, due in five months.

"Now, I don't need my wand to do harm. I suggest you start talking, and tell me what this is all about: Toying with me, and using my family as the bait, or you won't only be sent to Azkaban for impersonating a deceased auror, you might not make it that far." Emmylyne composed herself as much as possible from doing the actions that threat would follow if someone didn't talk and quickly. Clentching her jaw in an irritated manner, Ems looked away; gazing over towards the trees, anywhere but at him. It hurt, to see Benjamin and it made it harder to force herself into believing he was gone.

MUSTANG SALLY · 01-24-2008, 11:30 PM

Benjamin closed his eyes as the pain in his arm made him a little nauseas. But when he heard a voice calling to him, saying they were coming, he got chills down his back. He knew that voice. He knew that voice anywhere. Sure enough, the owner of that voice was Emmylyne.

Taking a deep breath as his emotions ran wild, he looked into her eyes. He could of stood there looking at her forever, before her harsh voice brought him back to his sences. She didnt think he was the real Benjamin? What letters? Somebody was trying to scare his wife?

"Emmy," he croaked. He in fact had not used his voice in some time, so it was a bit raspy. "Its me. Benji." He looked at her with his chocolate brown eyes, almost begging with her to believe him.

Even in her worried state, Ben couldnt help but think she was the gorgeous person on the earth. He had missed her so much. His heart was aching just being in her presence. Not knowing how long he had been gone, he hoped it wasnt to late to tell her that he loved her dearly. She was the only thing that made him survive during those beating. She was the only person who kept him going when he felt like giving up those awful nights. She was the only woman in his life who kept him alive while he nearly froze to death in the mountains and died of starvation.

As Emmy began mentioning his grave, he stepped closer to her. He didnt want to hear her saying anything about him having a grave. "Emmy, there is no grave. I am alive. I am here." he said, holding on to his arm. His arm throbbed with the sudden move but he didnt care. He needed to be close to her.

His eyes (well eye, his other eye to closed off to show anything) were coated with deep passion, as he looked at her. How was he suppose to make her believe that he was real, whole and living. How could she think he was dead? She had to have known that he would come back to her, some how, some way, someday. A small dark brown curl of hair fell down into his sight of vision, as he began to shake.

When she said she was going to hurt him and put him in Azkaban, he wrapped his arm around her. The other arm fell limply to his side. "Emmy. I have no idea how Im suppose to get you to believe me. But it is me. I love you." he whispered into her hair. He was raised to never cry. But now as he stood on the porch, his eyes grew misty. A ball formed in the back of his throat that he couldnt seem to get out of.

D.A Forever · 01-25-2008, 04:13 AM

Emmylyne shook her head, refusing the words that he tried to feed her. "That's not possible.." She denied, a level of uncertainty hit her softened voice by rush. Her head and heart were arguing, or battling more aless. Part of her wanted to believe this was all apart of some sick joke, and the other part, her heart, told her it really truly was him.

The protective mental guard she had up, shattered for she was now convinced it was Benjamin. There were few who would tempt her rare but fiery temper, and an imposter wouldn't have dared. Benji would have though..it was him. The proof was in his voice and touch, when he pulled her closer in a one-armed embrace.

Tears flowed freely now, silently down her pinkened cheeks as her arms found their way around his neck, hugging him warmly yet she made sure to keep from hugging him too closely or tightly like instinctively she wanted to, for fear that he would be gone again if she turned away; but there was also great fear in her, that he'd take notice to the changements before she was ready for that. She didn't want to jump into explanation mode, not after him being alive to her knowledge for eight minutes at the most.

Emmy cursed herself; all she could think of was pain and guilt..and that she should be feeling that, because this was her fault. Her heart was torn inhalf between two men she loved, more then life itself. Both she had known her whole life and both had been through an unbelieveable amount mental and physical drama; not just the kind they use to get into from kids to teenagers, but things that would and did happened on auror missions, things that threatened lives on a daily basis. She didn't want to be the cause of more pain that would come.

Life was starting to feel like some kind of game, a cruel game that had no winners. In the end she would be breaking someone's heart, something she never ever in her wildest dreams intended to do. Part of her heart would shatter, along with what was to happen..she was unsure what would happen. She feared it, greatly. Emmylyne wasn't uncertain if she would be able to get through this, either, but truthfully there was no choice in the matter.

This was never suppose to happen. Everything got rougher in their seventh year. She and Ben had gotten together and that summer even engaged, about two years later they were married and her little angel was born, three months later things got weird; letters, for example, from an unnone person. Creepy letters. Then Benjamin went on another mission..and never came back, only so many months later she had been given a letter saying he was dead, he had died on a mission saving a colleague from death. After two years everything else pretty much explained itself. Never, did she think this would happen. Hope of Ben still being alive, yes. Always. She couldn't hide that, Axel knew she loved him and Ben both, he knew that she always would have that spot in her heart for him but she also loved Ax, and they had a family now..but Lainie was Benjamin's child, too. Everything was far too complicated, that was the reality of this all. Too complicated.

Speaking of reality, Emmylyne came back to her sense and lowered herself from her tippy toes, taking a step back. "It's really you..isn't it Benji?" She asked, faintly, brushing her hand across his dirty and scratched cheek. It took her till then to realize he was a complete mess. He had been through a complete mess, which only made her guilt worse. "Your hurt.." Emmy added, biting down on her lip. A concerned expression washing over her flushed cheeks, "We'll fix you up," She promised, nodding lightly. Her first worry was to get Ben back to normal, without the rush of questions and people..that would follow next and then the bomb would drop. But she wanted him to be atleast semi-comfortable at first; she needed abit of time..him leaving wasn't an option, Laih needed him..and Ems wanted to help, they would all have to figure this out, civilly.

MUSTANG SALLY · 01-25-2008, 06:02 AM

Benjamin held onto her as tight as his arm would let him. Scared that she would push him away. What if she didnt realize he was really alive? And that he was a fruad? He was not going to be seprated from her again. No matter what it took, he wasnt going to leave her without a fight. And if a fight was what it took to keep him in her arms, a fight was what they were going to get.

As he could pracitcally hear her mind working, he closed his eyes. When she wrapped her arms around his neck, he let out a deep sigh. She believed him. She wasnt going to get him taken away. He pulled her closer and never wanted to let go. He burrowed his face into her neck and took a deep breath. He couldnt remember being this happy. To be alive. To be here. To have the one person he cared about the most in his arms.

Benji then lifted his head up to look at her. Seeing tears in her eyes made him swell up. But after living with a father who would hear nothing of his son crying, he held his tears in. He instead used his good hand to wipe Emmylyne's away. "Dont cry Love. Im here for you now." he smiled. He couldnt remember the last time he had smiled. It felt good to be able to do it again.

After everything he had been through, all the pain and all the scarring, he thought he would never see the say when he would be able to look into Emmy's earth tone eyes. They were always able to soothe him. Even when he was more angry than a Blasted-Ended Skwert. He remember one time, when Jenny was little and his no good father was yelling at her. He had actually raised a hand to her. He didnt hit her, but Ben was so mad, that he stormed out of the house. Jenny had gone to a friends house and he had gone to the Mae family's house. Emmy didnt have to say anything but look into his eyes. He had calmed down instantly.

As she took a step back, he raised his arm back up for his other arm to hold. "Of course its me!" he could've chuckled. He then closed his eyes again as she ran her hand over his face. Her hand was so smooth, it sent goose bumps down his arms. When she got close to his closed up eyes, he cringed. He knew she didnt mean to hurt him, but was just making sure he was real.

When she muttered something about him being hurt, he looked down at his ruined astate. He was a little messed up, but he couldnt concentrate on how bad it was. If he did, it made the pain in his arm hurt worse. But he didnt want Emmylyne to know how bad he was injured. In some ways, he was protecting her. "I'm fine, Em. I think I just have a broken arm. But its not like I havent broken it before." he let out a lame chuckle.

He didnt shake his head no, when she said she would fix him. "You always have fixed my Emmy. You always will." he said slowly. He gave her a loving smile, then opened the door to go inside.

As his head rested against the cold hard wall in the darkness he smiled. Not a warm comforting smile; but a cruel, cold hearted one. His blue eyes scanned the letter that he was writing. Dropping the quill he folded the letter up in an envelop, picked the quill back up and clearly wrote Miss Saunders.

Grabbing his wand out from his back pocket he began to spin it around in his other hand occasionally tapping it against the letter.

Living in this place wasn’t fun. There was no light, very little space, and not much to do to entertain yourself.

Muttering a light spell he looked around for the mirror that he had asked the young one to get for him. As his hand grasped the object he smiled again and looked into it.

Staring back at him was a man with a wild appearance. Remington McClane looked nothing like how he had a few months ago. Before everything had went down hill - again. Remmy’s brown hair had once looked good with the highlights. Now he looked like a monster. The pale skin and facial hair was a sign that he had not been outside in the light for ages. He basically looked dead. The only thing that stood out was his electric blue eyes. However they made him look worse if you could believe that. He was wearing a long black hooded sweater, black cargo pants and black running shoes that he hadn’t changed in almost a week; and even if he did he would still be wearing black. What better color for hiding in bushes.

As he put the mirror back down, he closed his eyes. So close but yet so far. He was right there. Right where he wanted to be and yet he could do nothing. Remmy’s eyes shot open as if something was wrong. Yes something was wrong. Something was not right.

Standing up Remington tucked the letter into his back pocket with his wand. Being very careful not to hit his head on the low ceiling he began to pace.

Why did he have this feeling? Did the young one tell the others about him? No she wouldn’t have he was the family’s protector she trusted him. He had told her not to tell so she wouldn’t. So what was it? Was there something he was forgetting?

As if someone lit a light bulb in his head he gasped. “Benjamin.” He couldn’t have escaped. No way. That was impossible…but perhaps he did?

"I need to talk to the young one. I will not let him ruin my plan." Remmy croaked. He had to put up for years with other men around his Emmylyne. There was no way Benjamin was going to ruin this. He needed to get them both out of the picture. Benjamin and Axel. Then and only then Emmylyne would be his. Yes because then she would have no one else. No one else but him. He would make sure of that.

Making sure that he still had his wand and the letter he ran off one way down the tunnel and disappeared into the darkness. In less than no time he was in another room hiding behind the shadows. A library. "Come on Laih" He whispered.

As Finnegan sat on his cousin's couch, he watched his wife busy herself with making sure their baby was as comfortable as can be. A large smile graced his face as she sat beside him and curled up. He moved slightly, leaning forward so he could gaze at the sleeping child. Ashton Chase was his. He had a son. He was a father, finally. It all seemed so surreal to him, like it hadn't happened.

It felt like everything had happened yesterday. That he had finally broken down Elissa, his dear wife. It felt like all was well and everything would be well forever. Little did he know what Emmylyne was facing just outside.

And something even better was that his sister would be coming in that day to be with them for about a week. She was supposed to be bringing her fiancee, but he had been held up on a job in Romania. Finn was actually looking forward to meeting him, but he was glad to have time with his older sister alone.

He slid over on the couch and placed his arm around his wife, taking in the smell of her hair as he buried his face in it. This was all he ever wanted: to be with Elissa forever and to raise children together.

"Yes?"

After meeting with the head of his department in the Ministry, Axel moved quickly out of the office, an utterly dissatisfied look on his face. Of course, his boss had again ticked him off, but he would address that later. For now, he wanted to go home and be with his wife, cousin, and friend. They had sent the children back to school and now it was 'adult time', along with Lainie and Ashton. And not much later, Chloe would be joining them as well. She always made anywhere they went fun.

Silently making his way through the gigantic crowds, he came to the main room of the Ministry. He said his goodbyes to everyone he had come in contact with that day then aparated back to his residence. He appeared in the woods, taking care that no muggles would catch him, and walked, head down, to the mail box. After sifting through the mail, the young man began to walk up the drive. He then heard voices and looked up.

Benjamin Lawley was standing before him, embracing his wife and looking like he had just come from a lion pit. No, no, this can't be happening. He's not real! It's a sick joke, a sick joke! He dropped the mail and clutched his chest. Was this really happening? Was his best friend really standing before him? Was he really in the flesh?

He could hardly speak, hardly move. His legs felt like concrete. He stood as still as a statue, minus the heaving of his chest. Benji was supposed to be dead. He died three years ago after going on a job and never coming back. That's what happened. No if's, and's, or but's about it. This was clearly not happening. He was only aggravated with his job so his mind was playing tricks on him...right?

Finally regaining some of his composure, Axel walked shakily towards the two. "B-Ben?" he croaked. Yes, it was him. He was there. Placing a sweating hand on the young man he had grown so close to, only to have him ripped away from him just as easily, he grabbed onto his shoulders and embraced him. Not only did he embrace him, he kissed his forehead. "Where the hell have you been?!" he demanded. It was not meant to come off mean, but he was so angry with the way he looked. Someone had done something to him, something that he himself had gone through as well.

The one thing that wasn't going through his mind that probably should have been was what they were going to do about their situation. Axel was now married to Emmylyne; Benji's wife. This could definitely cause some complications. He was worried, worried that he would be parted from Emmy yet again. His stomach dropped as this thought crossed his mind and it made him want to vomit. He didn't show it though. He didn't want anyone to think he was going crazy. What he had to focus on was the situation at hand. Benjamin.

D.A Forever · 01-26-2008, 06:38 AM

For a moment Elissa's amber eyes traveled over towards one of the few windows the family room held, staring out at the rather pretty backyard she took in how quiet it was. Oddly quiet. But then again, Emmy had gone to answer the door, the kids were on their way to school, Lainie was taking a nap and Ashton followed suit. Why wouldn't it be quiet?

Slowly turning her attention back to her loving husband, Elissa shifted to rest lightly in his warm arms rather then the couches. "Ironic how he couldn't kick enough when he wasn't even born yet, and now he barely moves. Huh?" She asked at random, glancing up into Finn's face, her cheeky expression didn't change.

Holding Casa tightly to her chest, Lainie krept down the hall. Placing a small hand along the banister to prevent any tripping while she went down the stairs and continued quietly in her mission to get to the home library unnoticed. Her god-mother and father were left incharge, while Mommy and A-Daddy went to drop her aunties and uncle off. Surely with a baby in the house it would make sneaking easier, or so she thought.

LaihLaih didn't like keeping things from people, but Remmy said they wouldn't understand and that only she was suppose to know. She trusted her families protector, he watched over them and was very nice so she listened.

Atlast Lainie had gotten to the room, earth toned eyes that matched her mothers perfectly scanned the hall before reaching up to grab the door knob after knowing the coast was clear Laih silently went inside, waiting to turn on the light until the door was closed without a snap.

"I ish sowwy fow no visit eawwiew, misew Wemmy." The toddler apologized, sincerely. Turning from the door she strolled forward, passing shelves of books on her way to sit at the desk. Although the desk seat was much bigger then her, the toddler still managed to climb up; putting her mini backpack down on the desk infront of her and Casa, the stuffed husky, to her side.

Unzipping the bag, Laih reached inside and pulled out a nice red apple; saying, "Hewe, ish good." and tossed it to the man she could see standing in the shadows.

Emmylyne wasn't a very emotional girl, unless under certain circumstances, like this for example. Blinking back the tears that threatened to keep falling, she gave a faint nod; unable to say anything for her head was still spinning at all of the little but huge information, from Benjamin being alive. Standing right infront of her. Hurt.

Realizing quickly that the dizziness she suddenly felt was almost definitely from the lack of oxygen going to her brain, Emmy exhaled a shallow breath she had been holding for merlin knew how long. "No that's not all. I'm a nurse, and healer in training. I know what I see and it's not to be taken so lightly," She spoke with confidence, or atleast as much as she could muster at this point. At the comment, the young witches cheeks warmed, but she returned the smile halfheartedly. I wish that were true..

She felt amazingly horrible. Awful, completely awful. Here they had been living a nice life, ten months ago married, and Benji had been alive fighting for his life, to come home. Thinking of that literally killed her insides, slowly tearing her heart more with unbelieveable amounts of guilt, sadness and anger for herself rushing through her veins. This was her fault, it was. She could feel it, and believed it was. It was her fault, and although Emmylyne would never be able to make up for it she would make sure whoever did this to him, paid, big time. If that truthfully meant blood on her hands, so be it. It was her fault, but if whoever did this to Ben, whoever hurt him hadn't done that, none of this would have happened to begin with.

If she regretted any of the past...Emmy wasn't certain. There was one thing she would take back, one thing she would be willing to and one thing alone: Meeting them, the group. She loved them all, madly. It wasn't even funny. Being away from her best friends honestly hurt, but if it meant saving both Benjamin and Axel from this..she would have.

The 'smack' sound of mail hitting concrete jolted Emmylyne out of her little trance and caused her to jump startledly. She was relieved at Axel's reaction, though his tone made her subconsciously take a step or two back. Fear over everything else, was winning. Fear of everything at the moment, and she couldn't fight it, for the first time in all twenty-two, almost twenty-three years of living.

Running a hand through her brownish blonde wavy locks, Emmy pushed strands that had fallen into her face back. "That can wait, or atleast be explained on the way. Let's get inside please, we don't want any unwanted attention and Benji needs to be fixed up." She said, firmly and lead the way back inside; holding the door open for the two. "Lainie's taking a nap and there's a sleeping baby down the hall in the livingroom, let's keep our voices to a minimum, please." Thinking quickly after this, to make sure there were no slip ups in that sentance, Ems found Lainie being here too to be normal as she was with her mother but the baby part.. "Elissa's baby." She added, almost immediantly but no less calmly. Just shut up already!

Benjamin smiled at her as she took the matter of his injuries seriously. Of course she would say something like that. Emmylyne was also the person who took things seriously. He looked down at his stiff arm, then back up at Emmy and nodded silently. He was grateful that she was in training to become a healer. She will have him fixed up faster than saying healed. "Thank you Emmy." he muttered.

As he stood looking into her earth tones eyes, he could see something that wasnt right. Was his eyes playing with him? He could barely lift open one of them, but it almost seemed like that Emmy was fighting a battle with herself. He was always able to read her as kids and for most of their adult life. But now, he was unsure what she was feeling. It scared him a little. What was it that was that was she was feeling right now? Was she perhaps hiding something from him? No. Not his Emmy. He was just exhausted.

At the sound of the mail hitting the ground, he jumped. Loud noises would generally frighten anybody who was recently kiddnapped. He turned sharply to find the source of the noise. Who he saw made him sigh with relief. It also made his heart ache. Axel. His oldest and his best guy friend. Axel was way more than a friend though, he was family. Always has, always will.

He smiled at Axel as he slowly said his name. "Axel." his voice shook. Benji then felt himself be pulled into a tight embrace. He held onto Axel just as tight, even though his arm was screaming for him to let go. He let out a soft chuckle as Axel kissed his forehead. Axel was always the kind of guy to show how he feeled.

When he asked him where he had been, he sighed. He knew he was going to have to explain everything, but he didnt want to ruin the moment with his three best friends. But before he could even say anything, Emmy said it could wait. He silently thanked her as he turned to the door. At the words of another baby asleep, he raised an eyebrow. Another baby? Emmylyne had another baby? His heart dropped down into his stomach.

He then let out a big sigh of relief as she said it was Elissa's baby. He could almost laugh at what he had previously thought. Ems with a new baby. He really was tired!

Then after thinking about it, he stopped. "Wait. Elissa had a baby? With who? How does Finn feel about that?" Ben asked, questions about everything skating through his head. He wanted to know what had happened between them two. The last time he had seen them, Elissa was in the middle of her journalist job and Finn was going through training for Gailec Football. He also wanted to know what was going on with Axel. And how Emmylyne and Laine had done without him. It must of been tough for Laih to be without a father for god knows how long. He wanted to know everything.

Kissing his wife's forehead, Finn chuckled lightly at her comment. "Very true. Jus' wait until I'm done with him. He'll be kickin' all the time. My lil' football star," he assurred her. Of course, there was no doubt about it, he would be teaching his son the tricks and the trades of Gaelic Football. If Ashton was going to be at all like his father, he would obviously be able to at least kick a ball.

Glancing at the hallway where Emmy had vacated a few minutes ago, Finnegan scowled. "I wonda' where she went," he mused. He squeezed Eli's shoulders a little, out of love of course, and kissed her cheek. His life was absolutely perfect. How could it get any better? And there was no possible way it was going to get worse. Or was there?

As the young man stood with his arms around his best friend, Axel couldn't believe what was happening. He was alive. Not so well, but that could be fixed. He was here...and probably wanting his wife back. At this point in time, Ax felt absolutely terrible. He had taken his best friend's wife after he had supposedly died. He had finally fulfilled his own happiness, yet ever since he layed eyes on Benji he could slowly feel it slipping away.

This was, after all, Emmylyne's first husband. Of course, Axel was now questioning their love. Did she only marry him out of loneliness? Would she easily go back to him even though she was carrying his twins? All of these questions made his stomach drop even more. He was literally close to vomiting. He had never felt this way before and he really wished it would go away.

"I'm so glad you're alright," he choked out as he finally let go of Ben. A few tears had fallen down Axel's face. The scars he had gotten long ago were still visible, yet they were nothing compared to what Benji looked like. It reminded him of his own journey back home. Maybe it had been the same person who had kept him hostage. Running shaky fingers over the stubble on his chin, Axel let out a long, broken up sigh. "Let's head inside," he agreed. There were some things they needed to talk out, no matter how much everyone would hate it.

What he was about to break to Benji was going to absolutely break his heart. The thing he was worried about the most was Ben's reaction and how Emmy would take the situation. He hoped to god that Ben wouldn't get mad, but that was a long shot. There was no doubt that he would be upset, very upset.

After closing the door behind the three of them, Axel smiled a strained smile and nodded. "Yeah, she had a baby boy; Ashton Chase...O'Callaghan." He made sure to emphasize his cousin's last name to get the point across. Dear Finn, he was as happy as can be with a wife and child, yet Axel felt like he was slowly falling into a black hole.

Walking past the living room, Ben and Emmy in front of him, Axel gave Finn a fleeting glance as he disappeared into the kitchen.

On hearing the door open and more than one voice, Finn absently looked to the doorway of the living room. The three figures that passed walked quickly so he couldn't really see their faces, but he just happened to catch the look his cousin gave him. "Somethin's wrong," he breathed. Standing up quickly, he turned to Eli. "Grab Ash, we're goin' into the kitchen." He didn't need to give her any explanations, he just knew that Axel needed him.

Walking quickly in behind the three, Finn gasped and stumbled back into the wall to catch himself from falling. He couldn't speak. All he could do was stare at the form of one of his best friends. "W-wha'? B-Ben? You're...not d-dead," he managed to say. His legs were shaking, yet he grabbed onto Axel's shoulder to regain his balance.

Righting himself, Finnegan threw his arms around Benji and squeezed tightly. "Where the hell 'ave ya been?!" he demanded. Of course, it was the exact same reaction Axel gave which only made Ax chuckle lightly from behind them. All Finn could do was hug him, while two small tears ran down his face.

Then, looking to his cousin, he saw the worry that covered his face. He knew what he was thinking and he knew how scared he must be. Ben must not have noticed the small bump on Emmy's stomach. Oh Ax...I'm so sorry.

Having only just aparated into the woods near her cousin's house, Chloe walked quickly and quietly up to the door. Fixing her skinny jeans and baby doll top, the young woman knocked lightly on the door. She was a woman of twenty four years of age, yet she looked to be a teenager with her vibrant red hair and honey colored eyes.

She heard loud voices from inside, more sounding shocked than angry. Pursing her lightly pink lips, Chloe listened more carefully as she waited for her presence to be known. All she really wanted was to see her nephew and give him her present. She just couldn't resist getting the baby boy something, especially because it was her brother's child and he had waited for so long to be happy.

Slipping unnoticedly away from the two men, Emmylyne took every step carefully, up the wide, white carpetted, staircase. By the time she had reached the master bedroom her hands were trembling, and that was the least of her worries.

Although she would have loved to just collapse on the bed, curl up and go into hibernation like a bear, till this was all done and over with, Emmy didn't take a second look around the room but instead proceeded into the bathroom. Seeing the reflection, of her tear stained face, tired puffy red eyes and colored cheeks; the young woman turned the fosit, turning on the hot water and grabbed a wash cloth from within the cabinet to her left side.

Wetting it slightly, as she took in a deep breath, her body shook violently; upsetly. From the crying, that she had done and all the crying she was doing on the inside. I will not throw up.. She thought, cursing herself silently. I command myself not to throw up! Childish thoughts, for such a serious time.

Steading herself just enough, she let go of the countertop she held for support just incase her legs really did give away, and tilted her head upwards; the wet cloth laying against her forehead for afew moments as she took that time to try to calm down, before she truly got sick.

"Everything will be just fine.." She whispered to herself, tearfully. Emmylyne wished to take it all back, everything, so she wouldn't have everyone in this situation. She couldn't take the past back though, and she didn't know how to fix what was already done. There was nothing she could do, physically or mentally, to better any of this. The truth, was a start. But the truth, was the most painful thing.

Turning back, she turned the water off that she had briefly forgot about in the mix of things, and placed the washcloth next to the sink and continued what she was originally suppose to be doing: Getting the medical things.

It took no more then several minutes before she rejoined everyone downstairs, few potion vails in her arms along with an arm brace, wash cloth, and other certain objects she'd need.

She said nothing, until placing everything down on the barstool counter, "Finn..I'm going to need you to hold that hug, I need Benjamin to sit.." Emmy said, softly gesturing to the kitchen table.

Nodding lightly, much less alarmed by whatever was going on compared to Finnegan, Elissa stood. Releasing a small, rather tired sigh Eli pulled at the bottom of her tanktop, straightening it from under her sweater then went to the baby.

Rather then unbuckling the newborn from his carseat and the carseat from the stroller it naturally snapped onto, Elissa moved the red lock near the front right wheel upwards. Unlocking it from the still position. "I'll be there in a moment," She called, amber eyes traveling after Finn as a knock at the door alerted her Chloe had to be here; just as planned.

"Alright my little love bug, your first visit with your sweetly spazzy Aunty Chlo. You ready for this?" She cooed, glancing down at the bundle she pushed along and paused before the door, leaving Ashton's side to open the door. And as she did, Eli smiled. Sure enough, it was Chloe, Finnegan's older sister, whom admittedly looked just as young if not younger.

Opening the door wider, welcoming the redhead inside, Elissa greeted her warmly. "Hey you, how's life? Come in, come in. Your brother's in the kitchen, somethings up."

MUSTANG SALLY · 01-26-2008, 09:35 PM

Benji smiled at Axel and nodded his head. "Yes. I'm fine. Thanks Ax." he said. As he looked into his oldest friend's sea green eyes, he noticed the rest of his face. "Axel, what happened to your face?" he asked curiously. What had happened to him. He looked like he had occupied a few scars of his own since he has been gone.

On hearing that the baby was named O'Callaghan, he let out a bark of a laugh. "O'Callaghan? Finn and Elissa got married! I cant believe it! I knew he would be the one to break her." A grin was spread across his lips at the sound of his other two best friends getting together. Finn has been in love with Elissa forever. Ever since they were kids, he was trying to get Elissa out of her shell. Looks like he finally did it.

Benjamin walked right past the living room, having being barely able to see where he was going in the first place, and stepped into the kitchen. It was so quiet and peaceful in the house. It was diffrent to how it usually was. There was always like a million kids in the house. Emmylyne had so many siblings it was hard to keep a house silent. Even in his house, he had two sisters. His sisters! "I need to write a letter to my sisters. I want them to know I am ok." he said thinking about them both. He missed them both so much. Especially his youngest. Jenny. He would never admit this outloud, but she had a softer spot than Jodie.

On the entrance of Finn he moved a bit toward him. He looked like he had just seen a ghost. "Finn. Its me. Im alive." he nodded. Then before he knew what hit him, Finn had his arms around his neck. His arm was on fire, but he glued his other arm to Finn's back. He had missed Finn and his talk about sports. He then moved back and chuckled as he had the same reaction as his cousin. "Damn I missed you guys."

Hearing that Emmy had returned, he moved away from Finn and tried to walk without a limp. He took a seat on one of the bar stools and looked up at Emmy. "Work your magic Em." he smiled. He knew she would fix him up way better than he looked now. He knew his arm was going to be soar still but at least it wont be killing him anymore.

He moved his head to the side when he heard the door again. But the wall was in his way and he couldnt see who it was. Hoping that it wasnt another suprise like he was, he waited for Emmy to fix him up. But then again who else could be here that would suprise them all more than him. But then again he didnt know what was going on in the libary...
