I pulled my sweater tighter around me as I stood looking out by back door towards the woods. The woods that used to scare me .. and now are just a memory.

I had worried that my nightmares would get worse after everything with Norman. But that’s not what happened. They’d gone away completely … just like my parents had told me in my dream.

We’d stayed so busy for the last few months. After our extravagant honeymoon and then the extended trip with our friends we’d come back home and hosted Joanne and Aimee for a week.

We celebrated the Fourth of July and then both Bridge and Layla had birthdays. After that we’d thrown ourselves into work for a while. Except for when Vincent had come home for a while. He was traveling so much that we hardly saw him.

    EmeryWe were sitting on the back deck around the pool talking about the new jacuzzi we were getting. Hot tub … jacuzzi … whatever you wanna call it. I was so looking forward to it. I knew it would help my aches and pains that were ever present by the end of the day. And I wanted Oliver to be able to use it too. I wasn’t the only one who came out of the last ordeal with scars. And boy did I have them. I had a large one running down the side of my neck .. from my ear to the top of my shoulder. It had gotten cut in the wreck somehow. Same with my arm that had a huge scar down the outside of it from shoulder to elbow. I had a few on my leg from all the surgeries. And one on my side from the surgery I had to have on my ribs after breaking them about three times in a row. But I didn’t care. They were a part of me now. They told a story of where I’d been…. And how I came out the other side. So the guys were coming Monday to install it. I figured the girls and I would be swimming a lot n

    Elijah 4 MONTHS LATER It was summer. We’d switched out our sweaters and boots for shorts and sandals. Things were finally getting back to normal. It had taken quite a while, understandably. Emery had finally mostly healed .. physically anyway. Oliver too. They both had a rough time for a while .. Norman was now being held in a state prison miles away.. awaiting trial for Emery’s kidnapping and attempted murder. And the murder of her parents. My dad and Frank were coming to terms that the third corner of their triangle was gone .. and would never come back. I had worried about my dad .. his being sick and this on top of it couldn’t be good for him. But he’d pushed through. Now he was off traveling with Martha. Aimee and Joanne had stuck around for a week. They both knew everything now but I knew they’d keep it to themselves. Emery was happy to have them close by those first few days. She and Oliver both got to leave the hospital three days after they’d woken up. I’d be happy

    Emery I had laid there in bed thinking about the dream I’d had. Or whatever it was. Bridge was still asleep and Elijah wasn’t back yet.. but I was wide awake now. I looked around the room. Flowers and balloons and other trinkets were everywhere. I noticed a couple of bags sitting on the rolling table next to me. An envelope stuck out of the top of one with my name on it. I frowned. I don’t know why. But I knew I needed that bag. I needed to open it .. immediately. Something was pushing me to get it. I sat up as best as I could. I was barely able to reach the corner of the table with my fingertips. I pulled.. it rolled… about a centimeter.. But after a few more times I got it and rolled it towards me. I picked up the bag and looked at it quizzically. What about this gift is making me so interested??I reached in and grabbed the card. It had my name on the front. I took the card out of the envelope and opened it. I frowned when I saw who it was from. But I started reading anyw

    Emery I walked the rest of the way into the kitchen. I took a moment to take it in. It’s as if I went back in time . Again… is that what this was? The feeling of family and home and love took over my senses. The smells .. I was overcome with both happiness and sadness all at once. “Mom..” I said again. She turned .. Her face lit up. It felt like a bolt of lightning shot straight through my body as I looked at her smiling at me. She was beautiful. Warmth.. that was the overwhelming feeling I got. That happy feeling of safety and knowing everything will be alright.. the one you can only get from your mom .. it covered me like my favorite blanket. I immediately got tears in my eyes as I was overwhelmed with emotions. “Hi honey! There you are we’ve been waiting for you!” She said. “You have?” I asked, trying to reign in the waterworks. “Of course we have silly..” she said. She walked around the island and took me into her arms hugging me. I almost collapsed right then and the

    Elijah I found Dr. Otis in the hallway when I left Emery’s room and told him and the nurse not to order her dinner .. that I was gonna run out and get her something. Sometimes this place surprised you and had pretty good food. But for her first meal awake .. and after everything that happened .. I just wanted to go out and get her something. I had to do SOMETHING. I was feeling totally useless. “She’s asking a lot of questions. I don’t know if I need to overload her with information just yet…” I told him. “You can tell her whatever you think she can handle. If you notice her getting upset.. too upset.... then stop. Otherwise you can answer anything.” He told me. I nodded. To be honest I was hoping he would tell me to wait before I answered any of her questions. But it would have to be done at some point. Maybe getting it out of the way was the best. I should be a pro at this by now. But some things .. you just never got used to. I called Frankie on my way out and told him she
