Tara had just gotten Lucy to sleep and was laying her down in her crib when she heard the sound of car doors shutting. Knowing immediately who it was outside her home, she slipped out of the nursery, closing the door behind her, raced down the stairs and out the front door. As soon as Tara saw him nearing her front porch, she jumped forward and threw herself into his arms, "Luke," She sighed in contentment, her voice muffled against his shoulder.
After Steve and Paige picked Luke up, she drove the two men back to the rehab center to pick up Steve's car, and from there they both had journeyed to Tara's, where Luke would be staying for the night before they all left for the airport the next morning to join Shirley and Theo.
Luke was shocked at first when Tara threw herself at him, but quickly regained his composure and wrapped his own arms tightly around his girlfriend, "Tara," He choked out gripping her tightly against him and burying his face him her hair, "She's gone, Nellie's gone."

"I know, I'm so sorry honey." She whispered comfortingly, running her fingers through his hair. The two stayed like that for a few moments, just holding one another, before she released him and walked over to give Steve a hug, "Thank you for bringing him home. I'm so sorry Steve." She whispered and felt him nod his head in reply.
Once they let go of each other, the three of them moved into the house, and Tara closed the door behind them. Luke, still in shock, slowly made his way into the living room and sat down on the couch. Tara and Steve watched him, worried before Steven turned to Tara and gave a tight unconvincing smile, "So, where's my favorite little niece at?"
His question seemed to have perked Luke up a bit and he turned his head to look over at his girlfriend, waiting for her reply.
"She's upstairs asleep, but if you stick around a few more hours she'll be up soon for another feeding." She joked causing both men to give a soft laugh.
Steve shook his head, "I guess I'll just have to wait to see her until tomorrow. Actually, I should be getting home. We're leaving tomorrow and I still have to pack." He walked over to the couch and placed a comforting hand on Luke's shoulder, "Get some rest, yeah?"
