[Ronnie's POV]

Right now, I dont care if I end up in prison again

IM GOING TO KILL JENNA!!

Not only did she get my ass arrested, WHILE my fiancé AND son were watching, but that fake cop had the audacity to even push him down and hurt him!!!

"AAHH!!" I yelped.

"I'm sorry," Meredith said.

Unfortunately, the taser used on me burned some flesh, yet somehow didn't knock me out. It wasn't serious, though any worse I would have needed a new kidney. I didn't notice until Meredith noticed some blood on my shirt once we got home.

Now she was taking care of it.

"Its fine," I groaned.

She finished cleaning the wound, putting some antiseptic cream before bandaging it, then the door opened and Joey and Willow walked in, Joey with a band-aid on his chin.

"Dad!!" Joey said, running up and tackling me as Meredith pulled down my shirt and helped Willow onto the bed to hug me.

"God, Joey, I'm so sorry you had to see that," Ronnie mumbled as he held his son in his arms tightly.

Crissy then walked in. "Mind if I come in?"

Meredith nodded. "Hey."

"Glad to see you're not arrested. But what happened?" she asked as she sat at the foot of the bed.

"Safe to say that you were right and you can say 'Told you so.' Jenna King hired a fake cop to arrest me and say that I beat Meredith, Joey, and Willow," I groaned as I sat up, holding Joey and Willow.

"Are you serious?" she asked in shock.

"The police said she was the one that filed the charges. They nearly didn't buy it because of my stitches, but since there were witnesses they knew it wasn't a lie," Meredith said.

"So long as everyone is alright," Crissy said. "Especially Joey. Poor thing is gonna have that thing on his face for a while."

"This, was what got the ladies drooling," he said upsetly, pointing at his face, and we couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, baby, you're still adorable as ever," Meredith laughed as she hugged him.

"Yeah, you're still a lady killer, buddy," I said, ruffling his hair.

"We should get going. Willow has school," Crissy said.

"See you tomorrow, Joey," Willow said, hugging her brother and then going to her father. "Bye, Daddy."

"Love you, baby girl," he said, kissing her cheek.

Soon they left.

"Joey, you have school, too, so you should be going to bed, too," Meredith said.

"Okay. Good night mommy, good night, dad," he said, hugging us both before leaving.

I got up and stretched a bit as Meredith hugged me from behind.

"I was so scared," she murmured.

I knew what she was talking about, and sighed, turning and hugging her as she hugged me tightly.

"I was, too. I was scared I wasn't going to come home to you or the kids," he said.

"Ronnie, I don't know what they'll do if they found out," she said in a soft whisper.

I looked around, knowing paparazzi and haters can be lurking around.

"So long as the world believes what we told them, we can take those secrets to our graves. They won't know a thing," I whispered in her ear.

She nodded, then leaned up and kissed me, my arms around her waist.

We then pulled back and I laid back as I pulled her into her arms.

"No doubt the press is already aware of the arrest," She murmured as I held her.

I groaned. "That's gonna be hell to deal with."

"Your real fans will know the truth," she said, playing with my hair and braiding some strands.

I nodded. "Yeah." I then looked as her brown gentle eyes looked at her twirling fingers as they tangled my hair, and sighed, carefully pulling her closer to me.

She noticed my discomfort. "What?"

"Its just... Six years without you... I'm surprised I didn't killed myself. It was nothing but pure hell, especially in Death Valley," I admitted. "I was at that point once, but knew I had to keep moving on, despite even being thrown in isolation, being hosed down, even beaten up... And I'm glad I did, or else Joey will be alone, and got know about Willow and the fans," I said, my voice cracking a bit.

Meredith looked at me in shock before climbing up and wrapping her arms around my neck and hugged me, laying on top of me.

"I would cry myself to sleep every night, wishing to see you even in the news, just hoping you were alive...." she said, her voice breaking slightly as i felt tears on my neck
. "I missed you so fucking much, Ronnie.... So much...."

I wrapped my arms around her waist and rubbed her back.

"Hey hey, its okay," I said, comforting her.

I then sat her up a bit and held her face in my hands.

"Look at me," I said as she cried quietly. "Babe, look at me. Look at me."

Her teary eyes look down at me as she straddled my waist.

"Its all in the past. We made it back together, and its going to be okay," I said, trailing my hand down to hold her hand, the other one wiping her tears away.

She sniffled and nodded. "Okay."

I smiled as she leaned down and kissed me softly, and I kissed her back.

"I love you," she said.

"I love you, too," I said as we pulled the covers over us and fell asleep next to each other.
