The End of the Beginning

A/N: I wonder what could happen in this chapter... I actually don't know what to say at this moment so here is the story

Nora's POV:

I waited on the medical chair thing so that Ariel could tell me when she was due. Ariel was talking to Patch about something in the next room. I looked around keeping myself occupied so I wouldn't become super bored.

Within the next five minutes, Patch and Ariel came in. Ariel went to get the sonogram off the sonogram machine and Patch took his place next to my side. Ariel did her thing and then pulled up the image of baby Emma. You could barely see her small features.

Patch voiced a question that I was thinking about answering but so not how I would've worded it, "So, Ariel? When is she going to pop?"

I looked over him and saw him trying to keep a straight face. Ariel to tried to hide a smile, "Well, she has grown at a tremendous rate. She could be due within the week. This isn't an ordinary pregnancy, Jev. Your fiancé is healthy for a pregnancy that could possibly endanger her. If she shows any signs of weakness bring her immediately to me."

Patch nodded his thanks and then we left Ariel's clinic. Patch helped me back into the Jeep. He backed out of the drive way and left the city area around London. I looked around out the window, "Where are we going?"

Patch chuckled, "Don't worry Angel. We aren't that far out. I wanted you to see something." We kept driving for another mile before turning onto a dirt and gravel driveway. The driveway passed a fenced in pasture with a few cows and four horses inside it. Two of the horses looked vaguely familiar, but I couldn't recall where I'd seen them. We pulled up to a white two story small colonial ranch house.

Outside of the house was a woman taking a for sale/sold sign out of the ground. The woman's backside was facing us, but her figure looked familiar. Patch parked the car beside the woman's car. He got out and then made his way to mine grinning like the Cheshire Cat.

"What are you so happy about?" I asked curiously.

He gestured towards the house, "Do you like it?" He waited eagerly for my answer. I scanned the house and realized that it was my dream home and that it looked just like the house from the vision that Emma showed me a while back.

I stifled a gasp as I realized why those two horses looked familiar. The woman turned around and saw a woman I wasn't really expecting, "MOM?!

My mother stood in front of the house, "Surprise! I arrived in London last night."

I put my hands on my hips, "And you didn't bother to call?" My mother looked at me with a look that said I brought you into this world I can take you out of it. I smiled, "I love you mom. But what are you doing here? What are we doing here?"

My mother beckoned towards the house, "Come on sweetie, I'm going to give you the grand tour. And answer your fiancé."

Patch was over at the fence petting the black horse. Of course he got a black horse. I called out to him and he jogged back over. "I love the house. But aren't we on private property?"

Patch chuckled, "Angel, don't you know me? You'll love it even more when you see the inside." I gave him a sideways glance. What is he up to? This is something that I'm so not used to. My mother and Patch getting along and that they somehow planned something big.

So we walked inside and the smell of fresh paint drying was still in the air. The inside of the house was everything I had ever dreamed of, and there was a nice blend of a woman's and man's touch. I began to smile. Patch saw my smile and then he broke into a grin and mindspoke, 'You like it?'
