Ebony waited for the call she knew so well that came with rain. A loud clap of thunder and a flash of lightning. She laughed because it no longer scared her. The rain seemed to calm and yet the thunder coontinued. She turned to the house and saw Newt on the porch. Ebony gasped. "She broke into a run towards the house. She didn't want him getting ill. When she got to the porch she saw him crying. Ebony scooped him up even though she was soaked and calmed him. "Shhh hun, what is it? What's wrong? You don't like the storm do you." Ebony rubbed his back gently.Newt buried his head in her chest before saying. "I cam down but you weren't the and that man wasn't there and I thought you left me."

Cain lowered the blanket when he walked towards the house he heard the boy crying about him not being there and it hurt, It must have been the same for Ebony to have come home and found him dead. He couldn't think about it he walked past them and sat down heavily on the porch his invisibility kept him invisible but couldn't keep the puddle of water from growing under him on the cement, he was sure Ebony saw it and he thought that she would know what it meant, he didn't care, he had seen the side of her that had filled him to the brim with love Sixteen years ago and it did the same now. He didn't know how to respond to the little child but he knew that if he just reappeared it would most likely scare the boy. He let the spell fade on the blanket that lain in the yard, it reappeared suddenly but was soon forgotten by him.

Ebony understood. She kissed the top of his head gently. "I'm not going anywhere anytime soon Newt. You know that." She sat down and rocked him gently. Taking out her wand she dried them. Ebz saw the puddle forming and knew what it meant. "Just because Cain's appeared doesn' mean I'm going to forget about you. You're my baby boy Newt. I love you to bits. So just because I might love Cain doesn't mean I love you less." There was no might. She did love him, but she didn't want to upset Newt anymore. She sat on the floor rocking him back and forth letting him fall asleep in her arms.

When Cain saw the boy fall asleep he removed the invisibility. "I didn't know that he would be scared if I was not there." he said to her, He just let himself dry slowly out of the rain, "I am glad that he has you as a mother" he said to her with a slight smile, "Now More then ever I don't want to leave." he said, "That child there is what is driving me to stay, it is the one thing that pushed it over the edge," he said to her, He knew that she was a wonderful mother just by the fact of how she raised Newt. "But the question I need to ask you is this. Do you want me to stay" he said emphasizing the you. "Not because anyone else would miss me." he added, "Just you." he said to her he knew who he was and he knew what his role in life was, he wanted to know from her that he was welcome to stay not because of who he was but because she wanted him to. "I love you too." he said in return to the comment she had made about her possibly loving him, her hair had not turned back to black yet so he hoped he was not shooting in the dark.

Ebony's eyes fixed on Cain as he appeared again. "My little boy's an empath. Can tell a lot about people from just being near them. It's the reason his parents gave him up. Thought he was more trouble than he was worth." Eboy looked down at the sleeping child. She listened to everything Cain was saying quietly and Ebz thought. "I love you Cain. I never stopped. I refused to love anyone else I vowed that to myself. Because no one could make me feel the way you do. And seeing you now and talking to you I know that's true...But as much as I may want you to stay that's up to you. Are you still torn between this other life? Do you still need to sort things out?"

"No" he said "I don't need to sort anything else out, the only thing i have left to do is either resign from Gringott's and become an auror again or stay at Gringott's and apparate every morning to Ireland." he said to her as he looked at her, "I am going to stay, I never want to leave again" he said, "Of Course I am never going to drink anything that you or I haven't prepared, I guess I am become more like Mad-Eye then I want to admit." he said to her with a grin, "Just means I will be carrying a flask around with some tea or juice that I have made in it." he said to her smiling. "But I want it to be like we used to be" he said, "A family, only a little bigger" he said as he ran his good hand through Newts hair as the boy slept.

Ebony let her guard down slowly. Things could go back to normal...She'd have to stop being so awkward about stuff. Ebz tried not to laugh. "I don't think it's so great to be associated with someone whose mannerisms are that of Mad-Eye Moody's. But I'm taking care of you from now on. Things aren't going to slip by as easy as last time." She watched as Cain rran his had through Newt's hair. "I want that. I've always wanted that."

Cain looked at her with a smile. "Okay then" he said to her as he looked at her, "I will trust your judgment on what to eat and Drink, and maybe pips, if he can still cook like I remember." he said to her smiling, "Lets get him inside and go to bed." he said to her, "Before the sun comes up would be preferred." he said to her as he looked at the storm covered skies it was still pouring rain but he didn't care he had his life back, maybe not to the way it had been but it was close enough and they could work on it. he pulled out his wand and spelled himself dry he didn't want to give the little elf to much work to do, as it were he was pry going to wake up with the elf curled up on his chest reasurring himself that Cain was indeed back.

Ebony picked herself up from the ground slowly and carried Newt inside. "Yeah sounds good." she yawned slight.y "You'll pick back into routines oon. I'll take a few days off work to sort some stuff out with you if you need." She hadn't taken a day off in years. But her work ethic was out the window now she had Cain back. Ebony climbed the stairs and placed Newt in his bed and kissed his forehead. She then walked back to their bedroom and opened the doors. Ebony saw the rose petals and a sile came onto her face.

Cain smiled as he followed her back into the room. He realized the she hadn't seen it yet and he was happy that her reaction was a smile and not a frown. "What?" he asked her as he walked up behind her, "Did I do something right?" he asked her as he stepped up next to her. "I hope that I did the right thing though." he said to her as he looked at her, "Because I definitely remember doing this before"

Ebony nodded as he asked if he'd done something right. "Yeah you did do this before. And I loved it then as wel." she told him with a small laugh. He was always so sweet and caring. Ebony looked up at him brightly.

"I am glad you like it" he said as he hugged her gently. "Because I hoped that you would love it this time." he said to her, as he kissed the top of her head, "I don't want to go to sleep yet, but I think it would be for the best." he said to her, he had a long day ahead of him and he didn't want to postpone sorting through the few memories he couldn't figure out. But he was up for anything at the moment. Though he didn't care to admit it.

"I do love it." she told him simply. Ebz smiled as he kissed her head."Yeah. There's a lot to be done. We should catch a few hours. aPlus you've had a long day." she said. Ebony was once again that caring wife she had been before he'd disapeared. Every trace of ice in her had gone. She pulled out her wand and was in a set of her pyjamas.

Cain just nodded as he put on a pair of pajama pants with a wave of his wand, "We have plenty of catching up to do tomorrow as well." He said to her. "And I will be sending an owl to Birgitte, perhaps it can find her where I could not." he said as he waved his wand once more making the roses float up to the ceiling where they disappeared, "I love you" he said to her.

"Yes we do." Ebony said. She stretched befor saying. "I'm sure the owls will find her. Make sure you sort hat out first thing in the morning." She moved toward the bed and sat on it. "I love you Cain." Those words felt so foreign to her lips but so right.
