"how are you two doing?" hen asks softly, rubbing my shoulder.

"great," i grin. "ever since i healed after matt, we have gotten closer."

"im glad. you two are endgame," she chuckles. "speaking of."

i turn and see eddie coming up behind me. i smile as he wraps his arms around me tightly, pressing a kiss to my head.

"are you okay?" he asks, his brows laced with worry. i nod, leaning into his side.

my stomach and leg are much better now, allowing me to come back to work.

although i miss work, im basking in my two days off. but of course, i have to visit my family here at the firehouse.

definitely not just for dinner that bobby made.

i hold back a yawn as hen and eddie talk about a call they went on earlier. i havent been able to get much sleep recently because i keep having nightmares. i feel awful for eddie, but he says not to.

every night i wake him up and he always sits with me until im calmed down enough to fall back asleep.

"ann?" im brought out of my thoughts by hen and eddie both staring me down with concerned eyes. i hum in response.

"you ready to eat?" hen asks. i nod with a grin and she walks away.

"are you sure youre okay?" eddie asks quietly, setting his hands on my hips.

"yeah, i just zoned out for a second." i assure him, standing on my tip toes to peck his lips. "now, lets eat."

-

eddie and i are currently in the park. we went to my last follow up appointment to make sure i was cleared for duty tomorrow.

we decided to just relax in the park until we have to get chris from school in a few hours.

thats how im laid in his lap and hes running his fingers through my hair.

"ann?" he whispers, his fingers pausing. i hum in response, opening my eyes. "would you like to move in with me? i mean you dont have to move in with me we can move in with you i-"

i cant help the smile on my face as he rambles on about how women shouldnt be forced to move in with the man in the relationship.

"eds," i say softly, cutting off his speech. i sit up and cup his face in my hands. "of course i will, baby."

his face lights up and i laugh, pressing our lips together. we fit together so perfectly, i regret not meeting him sooner.

"i talked to christopher about it already." he says. "hes excited, i was just hoping you would say yes."

"is this why you asked about my lease the other day?" i ask with a laugh.

he nods sheepishly and rubs the back of his neck. "maybe."

i press my lips to his once again and he leans back until hes against the ground. i break the kiss after a moment and lay my head on his chest.

his hands reach up and he runs his fingers through my hair. i let out a small sigh and allow my eyes to close.

-

me and eddie talked it through and decided it would be best if i was to move into his house. he owns his house whereas i rent my apartment.

plus it would be easier on christopher as well.

so now here we are, moving my few boxes into eddies- i mean our- living room. ive never had many things. mostly because of matt. ive always been too scared to have too much because i could possibly have to run at any second.

but now hes dead. hes not a threat to me or my family anymore.

i look up at eddie, whos wiping his forehead free of any sweat and stand tall to kiss him sweetly.

christopher's crutches can be heard as he walks up and hugs us both. i grin and pull away, hugging him back.

ive finally found my home.
