I looked back at Henry who was coming toward our way and I just giggled and Archie told me to shush as he noticed that his bulky uncle was coming over.

"What are you two whispering?" he raised his brows at us.

Me and Archie look at each other.

"Nothing." we say in unison and the guilt in our voices could be heard from miles away.

"Nothing huh?" he asked sarcastically as he lifted his nephew in the air and then held his small blind nephew against his chest planting kisses all over him, making the child start to giggle as Henry's stubble started to tickle him.

I couldn't help but smile at the sight in front of me. Henry did like kids as much as he said he did, and he definitely would make a great dad. But judging by the way he treats Kal, I bet his kids would be spoiled rotten.

Watching him being around his nephews and niece made me start thinking.

Maybe we could start a family.

I mean, he's seen me at my worst and he hasn't left.

I'm at peace when I'm with him.

And he does really seem to want his own family so he wouldn't just abandon us, right?

He won't abandon me, right?

I got shaken off my thoughts as I felt my phone vibrating in my back pocket. I see that it's Anya calling and I quickly go to the end of the garden where it was more quiet so I could hear her.

"Wazzzup?" I hear on the other end of the line.

"Wazzzup?" I answer her back.

"And that's why I love you." I heard Anya chuckle and I followed shortly after.

"Anyways, what are you doing today? I was thinking me you and Freya could go shopping." she continued.

"You know I'm in Jersey with Henry and his family right?" I answer her almost sarcastically as I recalled mentioning the trip to her just few days ago.

"Oh shit, that was today? I totally forgot." she exclaimed and I could hear the guilt in her voice.

"Well, how's family time going?" now her tone was on the mischievous side.

I looked back to Henry and Archie who were still playing and I smiled to myself. "It's going good." I admitted but then I heard Marianne calling that the food was ready.

"Anya, I need to hang up, food is ready and you know I can't say no to food." I joked and we said out goodbyes.

Henry walked towards me and put his hand around my waist, planting a soft peck on my cheek.

"Who was on the phone?" he asked.

"Anya, she wanted to go shopping but she completely forgot that I was here." I admitted to him giggling and we just headed straight indoors.

Marianne had set the huge table and all the plates and cutlery were set nearly.

Well at least until the kids sat down.

I sat down next to Henry as Luna was right next to me. But Archie came and tried to convince her to move. It didn't take long until Luna gave up her seat, letting out a big sigh and giving me an apologetic look.

Everyone was so bubbly and most of them paid attention to me as I was the new addition to the family. They also loved my side dish and almost a fight broke out about who was going to have the last piece. Colin, Henry's dad, as soon as he found out that I was from Greece he was immediately intrigued. Apparently he loved Greece and mythology and he couldn't stop telling me stories. Marianne, Henry and all of his brothers tried to make him stop but failed to, something which I found adorable.

It was getting late and we all decided to go to sleep, as tomorrow they were all running for the Durrel Challenge and needed rest. Me and Henry would sleep by Henry's old room. Star wars and Lord of the rings posters were still up, a double bed was resting in the middle of the room, which was illuminated by the moonlight coming from the balcony door.

"I forgot I still have them up here." Henry exclaimed shyly as he motioned at the posters.

"Well, can we at least take the Lord of the rings posters back home?" I asked jokingly.

"You do love your lord of the rings, don't you?" he chuckled as he flung an arm around my shoulder.

"You know I do." I shrugged my shoulders winking at him.

We got to bed and I instantly moved closer to him, cuddling him. My arm was rested on his abs while my legs was wrapped around his waist. He placed his arm just under my neck caressing my hair while his other was on my cheek, bringing my face closer to his so he could kiss me goodnight.

"Okay, so tomorrow we're running, but on Sunday I'm going to take you hiking around my favourite spots, how does that sound?" he was trying to find my gaze through the dark.

"Sounds great." I admitted before pecking his lips and quickly drifting to sleep.

Next morning we woke up from a toddler's crying, I quickly get up to see what was wrong and I felt Henry behind me.

I rubbed my eyes as I saw Heather trying to calm Archie down, feeling his forehead.

She shot up as soon as she saw us heading her way.

"Oh, no did he wake you up?" the guilt in her voice was distinct.

"No, it's alright." I comforted her. "What's wrong?" I asked concerned.

"His fever has gone up, guess we're not going to the challenge." she let out a big sigh.

"Are you running as well?" I narrowed my eyes at her and she nodded in return. "You can go, I'm joy running anyway so I can take care of him." I admitted to her.

"You sure? Are you fine with this?" hope filled her eyes as she looked at me and Henry.

I looked back at Henry seeking his approval and he gave me a slight nod.

"Yeah, it's fine, go have fun." I admitted and Archie came running to me, rubbing his eyes before lifting his hands up in the air so I could hug him.

Everyone just got ready and was ready to leave, both Henry and Heather made sure I was okay and Heather walked me through everything I needed to do. I let them know that everything would be fine and that they should get going.

"You're amazing sweetie, thank you." Heather voice was almost a whisper as she gave me a pat on the back and kissed her son on the forehead.

"Be texting me if you need anything, I'll have my phone on me at all times." Henry said to me as he kissed my forehead and gave his nephew a hair rub. But the toddler was so tired that he just buried his neck on the nape of my neck huffing loudly.

"Go now, we'll be fine." I claimed as I playfully punched Henry's bicep. He gave us one last look and he was out of the door.

I carefully placed the blonde toddler on the sofa and told him to wait while I brought him some soup and orange juice to drink.

It didn't take long to warm up the soup when I heard Archie calling my name between coughs.

"I'm coming sweetheart." I yelled so he could hear and I quickly put the soup in a bowl and got his juice carton and headed towards his way.

The poor boy was still coughing and I put the soup and juice by the coffee table while I checked his temperature, which still hadn't gone down.

"I'm cold." he mumbled and I quickly grabbed a white throw that was nearby and wrapped it around him, something which instantly made him feel better.

"Do you want to do me a favor bud?" I ask him as I gently rubbed his arms so he could get warmed up. The boy just nodded and I smiled at him.

"Do you want to eat this soup with me?" I continued.

I remembered that Heather told me he could throw a tantrum when he was about to eat, so I thought that if I told him that I would eat as well he wouldn't have such a bad reaction.

And I was right, because the boy just slowly opened his mouth and was waiting for me to feed him, which I did. It took us about 20 minutes until he finished but he ate all of it and he became more lively.

He jumped off the sofa sticking the state in his carton and gulped down his juice.

And then I saw him running inside to the bedrooms but before I was able to follow him he came back with his legos.

"Do you want to build with me?" he asked showing me his toys.

I agreed and we spend hours building and playing with his toys until he got tired again. So I carried him to his parents' bedroom and to his bed.

"Mia, can you sleep next to me?" he asked as I was tucking him in and I couldn't help but agree because all this playing and watching over a toddler was more tiring than I expected.

I got under the blankets and Archie immediately wrapped his arms around my waist with his head rested just under my chin.

I put my one hand on his back while the other was carefully placed behind his head.

I stayed awake until I heard that his breathing was getting more steady, which meant that he was asleep. I didn't move, I kept thinking how happy I was just at this moment.

Being with Henry and his family and how loved they all made me feel.

I may had lost my best friend, Who was like my family. But now I found a new one, which I wasn't letting go that easily.

And with all these thoughts I quickly drifted into a dreamless sleep.
