Joe stayed at the hospital so doctors could keep an eye on him, the doctor who saw them agreed that he would keep what was going on quiet until they all knew what was going on. Demi left unwillingly not wanting to leave Joe again, she never wanted him to leave her eyesight. In case that time would be the last time she would see him again. However the hospital would not allow her to stay in case it messed with Joe's test so she got back into her car driving away off to her parent's house hoping to spend some time with them and her son.

"It's only me!" Demi called as she entered the house shutting the door behind her, she hung up her jacket kicking off her shoes wondering into the living room smiling when Adam came running over to her. She lifted him up kissing his hair gently. Demi took a seat on one of the chairs either side of the couch sitting Adam down on her lap.

"Everything okay with you and baby?" Eddie questioned.

"Yeah we're fine." Demi replied.

"Are you sure? Something seems to be bothering you." Dianna noticed Demi sighing leaning back in her seat a little bit. She knew that she couldn't tell them yet even if it was about the boy they saw as their son since he was just a kid. His parents didn't even know yet or his family, they just wanted to know what was going on before they told anyone. They knew now it was Joe because of the fingerprint test but that didn't explain why or how he was here and  not even aged since the accident. It also didn't explain where Kaylee was and why she wasn't here with them .like Joe was. It was hard for Demi to wrap her mind around and she was only young. She'd hate to think what her and his parents would be like trying to get their mind around the fact Joe was back but Kaylee wasn't but they couldn't hide him away forever.

"I-I can't tell you yet but I promise when the time is right I will let you know." Demi vowed, she hated lying to her parents but it was what was safer for Joe.

Denise was sat at home later on that night with her husband by her side as well as the two sons she did have with her, Danielle was also here with Kevin, it was often they would come over and visit Denise and Paul. They often got lonely without Joe, he was the life of the family, the son who brought laughter into the house but he died two years ago leaving everyone in this state. Even after two years they all missed Joe as much as they did the first day they found out he had died. It was after dinner and after everyone had cleared down, they often just watched telly for a little bit sharing news around of what had happened this week. It was a Sunday and it was the only time Denise and Paul got both of their sons over at the same time. They knew Joe would be over as well with their Grandchildren if he was here. Demi came over often enough with Adam, she wanted them to have a relationship with their Grandson which they did but they both couldn't deny how much he was like Joe when he was just two years old. They didn't know then they would only have twenty more years with him.

"How is work going Danielle?" Denise questioned her daughter in law.

"I suppose it's going okay, it's a lot better now that the new season is coming. Sales are getting better." Danielle explained.

"What about you Kevin, how is my company going?" Paul questioned his son but Kevin didn't get to say anything, all their attention flew to the telly where the news was playing.

"Families all over the world are saying that their loved ones have come back from the dead, a family has gone as far to say as their daughter who died twenty seven years ago has come back. Nobody has an explanation of what is happening or whether it is just a big hoax but what I am sure about is I'll be checking if any of my loved ones have tried to contact me." The reporter states as she wonders around the cemetery trying to keep her hair out of her face. Their eyes all moved to a frame on the wall above the telly of Joe and Kaylee.

"J-Joe." Denise stammered her eyes welling up with tears.
