Lana's POV:

3 months later

As I read my script for the next season of Ouat I hear a Knock at the door

"Knock, knock, knock"

Lola barks at the door

"I'll get it." Sean says

It's probably some random people who want to sell something

I don't hear anything so I get off the couch heading towards the door

"Sean?" I ask holding my over 3 month belly

I freeze. It-no-that...

"Jared?" I say in shock

He just stands there with his bags, next to a tall man

"Wha-what are you doing here?" Sean asks

The tall man speaks up "Hi. I'm Kevin and the family Jared was staying with. Well, they were con artists. They wanted money, more money, and knowing that Jared is an actor they used it to their advantage. He belongs here. We will leave him with you, and there's no paperwork or anything. So I'd best be on my way. If there are no questions."

"...no-no questions." I say

"Then I hope you and your family have a good evening." Kevin walks away

"Jared!" I say crying, bending down to hug him

We all are hugging, even Lola. I miss this. Jared has gotten so much more thinner.

Jared is crying a lot

We un-hug after a long while

"So, what happend when you were gone?" Sean asks

"They-" he looks to the floor "They kept me in a small room. And were mean. They hurt me."

"You're safe now." I say hugging him "Wanna eat?" I ask

"Ok." He says

Sean's walks to the kitchen and says "Come on!"

We follow

"M-mom?" Jared asks quietly

"Yes?" I ask missing the sound of his soft voice

He places a hand to my stomach

I hoped he wouldn't notice, for if we lost it.

"It's a baby." I say

He smiles and observes

He's finally smiling

"The food is ready!" Sean says

We started eating macaroni and I noticed Jared doesn't eat as much

"Jared, why are you eating so little? I made you your favorite." Sean says

Jared is quiet

"You can eat it's ok. You're ok." I say

It's quiet

He eats

After dinner I bring Jared to his room and Sean brings his bags

"See your room is the same as it was before. Only your clothes are in the bags." I say as I unzip his bag

I turn and Jared is playing with Lola

It's nice to see him smiling

It's now time for Jared to sleep since he unpacked and everything

"Goodnight baby." I say placing a kiss at the top of Jared's head

"Night." Sean does the same

We left to go to our room

"Wow." I say tired "Today was a hectic day."

"I know." Sean says holding my stomach with my hand under his

We look at each other and kiss

"I'm glad he's back!" I say laughing a teary laugh "What if-?" I started

"What if what?" Sean asks

"Well... What if, well, since Jared came back maybe this baby, will stay." I say tearing up once more "It's stup-"

"No. I told you when the time is right things will work out." Sean says kissing me

"Mom, dad?" Jared knocks the door

I laugh

Sean opens the door

"Can I sleep here?" He asks

"Come on in." Sean says as he curtsied as if he's leading a royal to the ball room

Me and Jares laugh

Jared slept in the middle and me and Sean both hugged him

My family
