~~Elizabeth Parker~~

As soon as the doctors came into the room I was much happier. That meant I was that much closer to getting out of this place. Thank the heavens.

"Elizabeth. How are you feeling?" Aden said as he came back in after the doctor left again to get my release papers.

"Oh I'm fine, how's Ally?" I asked.

"She's going to be fine. We can leave when you get released, Ally as well." Marcus said.

"How did she do that? I thought she hurt her leg, it was bleeding really bad, that's why it had been wrapped up. Right?" I asked curious.

He sighed and ran his hand through his hair, a habit he tended to do... It made him look cute even though he was stressed. It looked as if he was trying to come up with an excuse...

"You know what. If we are 'meant to be' and living together... We need to trust each other. Or we will never be able to do anything..." I said.

"I know..." He mumbled. "And I promise I will explain, just... Not yet. Okay? Just please trust me on that..."

I sighed and bit my lip, my habit I seemed to not be able to get rid of. When I heard Thomas clear his throat.

"Izzi. Trust him. He's protecting more than just you with this." Thomas said.

"Fine bu-" I was cut off by the doctor who came in saying I could leave and I got hyped.

"Izzi we still have to wait for Ally. Uhhh Eliot was the one who drove us and he is sitting with Ally." At that moment I heard footsteps running our way and a little girl screaming Marker... It warmed my heart to see... He would be great with our kids someday... Woah. Did I just think that?

"Time to go." Eliot said, tapping Aden's shoulder.

Aden has Ally on his back and Thomas wants me to get on his back because he wants to hurry and get out of here. But of course, I know why.

"I'm going to bed when we get home." I said.

"I'll be playing Xbox, so you won't hear me it's okay." Thomas laughed.

"I'll join you once Ally is asleep." Aden said smiling a half smile at me and Thomas. I noticed his eyes lingered on mine for a while. He is so sweet.

~~Marcus Field~~

Elizabeth... Even her name sends happiness all over me. With Ally completely okay, there was nothing to worry about... for now that is. I can just spend time getting to know Izzi.

"Marker, does she know?" Mary whispered to me while we left the hospital.

"No but her brother does okay? If you need say something tell him. With his military training, he can protect you also. Alright?" I explained. She just looked at me and noded and smiled. Seeing Mary smile even through all that, makes me so happy it's hard to explain...

“Okay bubby.”

Back in the car that normally only fits four, that now is holding five with Ally in my lap and Thomas in the front, leaving me next to Izzi.  

“So you guys can get comfy back there, you will be seeing a lot of eachother anyway.” Thomas said.

“Thomas!” Izzi said blushing and smacking the back of his head.

“Izzi, you shall pay for that once we get out of this car. Just so you know.”

Izzi looked at me wide eyed, “Please protect me.”

“Oh no, no one can save you from me...” Thomas said with an evil smile.

“Please Aden!” she pleaded.

“I mean what is he going to do?” I asked, super confused now.

“Oh no, you shall see then.” Thomas laughed, popping his knuckles.

“Thomas!”

“Still don’t know what the fuck is going on guys...” I muttered.

“Marker!” Mary said looking at me from my lap pulling the pouty lip.

“I’m sorry Marebare. I’ll try to stop.” I said not realizing we had the full attention of everyone in the car. “May I help you guys?”

“Aden... the nickname you used has no match to Ally. So you want to tell me whats really going on here?” Izzi looked at me and asked.

“Izzi, don’t push it. Remember what I said at the hospital.”Thomas said from the front seat.

“Okay like its fair YOU get to know and I don’t?” Izzi said starting to argue back.

“Fine! You want to know?” Eliot yelled.

“Eliot, no. She will get over it. I know her more than anyone. Wanna see how to distract her? Then pull into the Wal-Mart right there.” Thomas smiled.

“With what money are you going to waste here?” Izzi snapped obviously mad about what had just happened.

“With Marker’s money. That’s what. Daddy gave us spending money. He is a Doctor.” Mary said moving over to her lap.

When Mary moved I started feeling happy. My two girls together acting like they are already close. Izzi may not be ‘my’ girl just yet, but I’ll get her eventually. From the looks of it I’m going to have to talk to Thomas.

“Yeah, like YOU are going to spend money on me.” Izzi pouted, still upset.

“Watch me.” Was my only reply.

A/N I am sorry, school started and took up SOOOOO much of my time. Those who stuck with me even through the long waits, please comment and tell me what you think, like if you think there is something you want to see happen in the future, let me know and I shall take it under consideration. :) Thanks you guys!
