Part 29

Rhys and Josh look through the window into the room where Elena is lying and her family is sitting around her.

Dr. Amy: Walks over to them. I am so grateful to you for finding them.

Josh: Looks at her. How is Rowan?

Dr. Amy: Good. He's still asleep.

Rhys: And Elena? Is she going to be okay?

Dr. Amy: Looks inside. She's really weak. But because of your actions, she will survive. Otherwise I don't think she would....

Rhys: Takes a deep breath.

Dr. Amy: Let me check how she's doing.

Josh: Gets a call. Looks at his phone. It's Alex. Be right back. Walks away from them and picks up the phone.

Elena Mother: Walks out of the room and sees Rhys standing there. I heard you found my daughter.

Rhys: With the help of...my friends.

Mother: I am externally grateful to you. Sobs and looks into the room.  It's not like she has a long life. But we're trying to keep her with us as long as possible.

Rhys: Nods. Elena told me

Mother: Looks surprised. She knows?

Rhys: Yes. But she's very brave. We've even made a plan together about what she's going to do in the next life and how we can involve you and your family.

Mother: Looks at Elena and the corners of her mouth turn up. Really?

Rhys: If it's okay with you, my wife and I will come over tomorrow. We can talk about it with Elena.

Mother: Of course. Thank you.

Rhys: Nods.

Mother: Walks back into the room.

Josh: Walks over to Rhys. They're ready. We've arranged to meet at the hotel where the girls are.

Rhys: Lets go.

------------------------------------------------------

Alex, Christian, Josh and Rhys are in the elevator going up.

Josh: So...it's done with Ethan....

Alex: Yeah.

Josh: Okay...okay...What exactly does that mean?

Christian: Maybe we'll tell you about it sometime over a nice drink.

Josh: Like...friends

Christian:.......yeah. As friends

Josh: A corner of her mouth lifts. Okay Cool.

The elevator doors open and they hear the girls in the distance.

Jules: I swear, Azriel ends up with Eris. He's the best spy there is and Eris always finds him! How? Mates!

Ava: Azriel's shadows are dancing Gwyn. What more signs do you want than that they're meant to be together.

Bridget: No, no no. She can't build up tension between Elain and Azriel for 4 books and then suddenly throw it away for a girlfriend of Nesta's. Please.

Stella: Elain has Lucien.  Lucien deserves to be loved. After everything he's been through.

Christian: We deserve some love too after everything we've been through.

The girls look up and see the men walking into the penthouse.

Jules: You're here!

Stella: Where were you!?

Ava: Are you okay? We were afraid you wouldn't come anymore.

Alex: As if there's anything that can keep me away from you Sunshine.

Bridget: Tell me! How was your day?

Josh: Great, I sold a cake to a serial killer.

Ava: What?

Alex: And we'll tell you the rest tomorrow at breakfast. Walks over to Ava. I've been waiting for this all day. Strokes her cheek with his fingers. Hello Sunshine. Where is our room?

Ava: The left hallway. Third door on the right. But maybe it's more fun to talk about what you did all....

Alex: Lifts Ava and puts her over her shoulder.  Then walks to their room

Ava: Alex!

Bridget: Give yourself over to it Ava. Have fun! And don't make it too loud!

Josh: Shouts after them. I, as her brother, don't need to know about this!

Jules: Grabs him from behind by the collar and drags him the other way. There's a chair in our room. I'm going to sit on it and you're going to do exactly what you did on stage. Only this time without clothes.

Josh: Oh Red, I'm making a special edition for you. For your eyes only.

-------------------------------------------------Alex: Closes and locks the door behind him. Lays Ava down on the bed and immediately hangs over her. Grabs her wrists together above her head and holds them with one hand.

Ava: Chuckles. Am I in trouble?

Alex: You left me with a letter. With the boys. I must have been chained with Christian for over an hour.  Everyone knows I'm a Michael Christ fan. I had to put my gun down for Stella's unicorn "health". I did a photoshoot with the guys. I did a fucking magic mike performance and you... Moves his face closer to hers. Kissed Bridget and I'm still not sure Eldorra will have a queen tomorrow morning.

Ava: Chuckles. It was just a kiss.

Alex: Grabs her by the neck. Yeah Sunshine, you're in trouble. Kisses her and then kisses her face up to her ear. Growls And I'll let you feel how deep in trouble.

#########################

Stella: Looks at Christian. So....where is he?

Christian: ......Do you mean Dante?

Stella: Laughs. No, Mr. Unicorn.

Christian: Turns white and slowly looks at Rhys.

Rhys: ........I Completely forgot. Rubs his face. Rowan still has him

Stella: Rowan? From the hospital?

Christian: Yeah.... I'll go get him right away. Walks to the door.

Stella: No wait! Walks to him and hugs him. If he's with Rowan, then it's good. At least he gets a good hugger. And I have you here now. That's all I need.

Christian: Kisses her and then puts his forehead against hers. I have to ask you one thing Butterfly. Which is it? Mustard or Ketchup?

Stella: Chuckles.  Mostert. My mom already sent a video of Dahlia playing with him. So cute.

Christian: Mmmm. Perfect. Can't wait to see our little family. But for now, I want you all to myself. No wait, not just now. Actually for 3 months.

Stella: Sounds lovely. Kisses him and then walks with him to their bedroom.

--------------------------------------------

Bridget: Looks at Rhys. Hey stranger.

Rhys: Opens his arms.

Bridget: Hugs him.

Rhys: Gives her a long kiss on the head. Don't ever do this to me again.

Bridget: Chuckles. Was it that bad?

Rhys: The fact that all 4 of us are here is honestly a miracle. I expected us to end up with 3 or 2.

Bridget: Laughs.

Rhys: Looks at her and rubs her cheek with his thumb. I can't wait to be home with Camilla in my arms.

Bridget: Me neither.

Rhys: But before we do that, we have to go to another princess tomorrow morning. A very strong, brave princess.

Bridget: Elena. Yeah, can't wait to hear from her if you all been good.

Rhys: Well, Christian and Alex are definitely in trouble.

Bridget: Laughs.

Rhys: Kiss her. Love you.

Bridget: I love you too.

Rhys: And prinses. Grabs her chin and looks at her. That what I said a few years ago about not being allowed to touch another man. Now women are added to that. Your all mine.

Bridget: Mmmm....Ava is a really good kisser....

Rhys: Grabs her by the ass and lifts her up so she has to clamp her legs around his hips. Let me refresh your memory how good I am at kissing and much more than that.

Bridget: Challenge accepted.
