•Lia's POV•

The rest of the night goes well with laughter and all of us catching up. Without even realizing time has gone by I am already telling them goodbye.

"Mum we will set a date to get to know him but right now I'm going to stay here and try and see where this goes with Tom. We've had some good moments since being back so I'm hopeful we can at least be friends or maybe even start over." I tell her hugging her by the rental car, looking at Tom saying bye to Noah.

"I believe in you darling, let me know how things go with you both please?"

"If anything changes you'll be the first to know. Just don't tell Stacy and Haz." We burst out laughing and I wave them both off.

"I'm really proud of you, tonight could have been a whole lot worse." Tom says to me as I walk up to the door.

"Thank you for being here for me. I honestly thought i wouldn't make it through dinner before we got to talk. Let's go clean up and head to bed. We got work tomorrow."

"Ok love, can you start real quick. I have to return a phone call."

"Is it about earlier? You seemed pretty upset." I ask bringing him to the table to sit.

"About that. It was the officers looking for Lydia and Micheal. They got away."

"What! How is that possible."

"I'm not quite sure love but we will find them. I promise."

"Did they get Tori's testimony at least? Do they have something they can use?" I'm stressing. I really thought Derek was the last of my worries but now this.

"They got everything yes. She has had her listened suspended and they have contacted the babies father. So it'll at least be in good hands."

"I hope so. No child deserves to go through having a mother like her."

"Love, I'm sorry. I never should've tried to force you into raising her kid with me. If it was you I would have been so angry and hurt. Can you please forgive me?" He's looking up with regret shinning in his eyes.

"Tom I will always forgive you. If it's something you would like.. I mean if you wanted to... No I mean I was wondering." While rambling he stands up and kisses my jumble of words right out of me.

"Can we start over Lia? I want to be better and do things the right way this time."

"I'd love that." I kiss him again. He pulls away with a smirk.

"Ok I'll go call Haz and we will pick you up from a date where you talk about how god awful the sex is. That was a great moment and a great place to start off."

I slap that smirk right off his face, then of course kiss him to make him feel better.

"You are a dork, do you understand me?"

"As long as I have you by my side then I'll be your dork everyday for the rest of our lives." God I love this man.
