Richard took her into his arms suddenly, though was careful of her stomach. "Darling...I love you so much....so much...." He kissed her a few times, then deeply on the lips.
After a moment, he pulled away, pressing his forehead to hers gently. "It's Raquel love...she's alive...." He whispered through smiling tears.

Lorey was a bit surprised by the warm welcome she'd been given, and was definitely suspicious of it, since it seemed to be triggered by something... though he looked so happy that she couldn't imagine what, not until he said the words that sent butterflies through her stomach.
Lorey's eyes widened and she pulled away from him just a bit to see his face fully. "She's al-- How?" The baby gave a little kick. Her heart started beating at a clip. Alive? she thought to herself again. Alive...

Richard startled stuttering as he tried to explain, looking utterly flustered.
"I h-h-have no id-d-dea!" He exclaimed. "Sh-sh-she was just on Nimbus where i stopped for my delivery! She said she had no clue what happened either but she had been trying to make her way back all this time!" He looked relieved, happy and yet soemthing was off. It was all so off to him that she just reappeared. What about the body? The one they cremated? How could she be here? Was it really Raquel he brought home then? Or some impostor.
Suddenly he wasn't so happy. "At least...I think it was her...I brought her back, and She and Damian are together now..." He furrowed his brow, his excitement suddenly gone.

Lorey took his face in her hands and tried to make him calm down. He always stuttered when he was really upset.
"Darling, you were an officer. I know you wouldn't overlooked something that big... but I think we're thinking the same things here. Damian did bury someone, but who?"
Lorey smoothed out his hair as she thought. Something bigger was going on here, and it scared her that maybe Richard wasn't meant to find Raquel again at all.

Richard paused a moment to calm himself down and catch his breath. Finally he was able to speak again, this time more logically. "Alright... Things are a bit off right now...but the main thing is...she's alive... she told me she was essentially kidnapped and taken somewhere though she doesn't know where. There's got to be a logical, reasonable answer... I'll talk to her tomorrow... Right now though...I'm going to let Damian have her to himself again... Poor b*****d deserves it after all the hell he went through..." He sighed, turning to the kitchen.
What he really needed was a scotch, or just something strong to calm his nerves. Though he had been very abstinent from drinking around Lorey for some reason. He had never really abused alcohol before, but it was just his over protective side kicking in.

Lorey followed. He looked so tired...
"Honey, sit. I'll get you whatever you want. We'll just let Damian handle this for now... alright?" She smiled and kissed him, though she looked worried. Gosh, she thought. Raquel coming back from the supposed dead, and Damian being given another chance. That just didn't happen.
But anything that happened to them really wasn't supposed to, she thought.
"You're right... poor man. How was he when he saw her? Tell me about that." She retrieved two glasses from the cabinet and some iced tea from the fridge.

At that Richard smiled. "I had him close his eyes... Then I brought her in." He looked down at the table. "It was touching for sure... she didnt kiss him or speak...she just touched his face...and with that one touch Damian seemed to automatically know it was her..." He smiled and looked up to Lorey.
"They were both hysterical afterwords... I left to give them privacy...I know I'd want you all to myself if I thought I had lost you over the time span of a year...." He smiled gratefully for the tea, pretending in his mind it was soemthing stronger as he took a few gulps.

As she listened, Lorey closed her eyes to envision the reunion. It seemed like such a beautiful thing that she fund herself crying like he had been. Damian, he would finally be happy again! His entire life would be turned right around, and all because Richard had the mind to go to a bar.
"Ah," she said, wiping her eyes. "Richard, you've done good, you know that? I'm so proud of you..."

Richards cheeks were pink as he shrugged. "Eh...It was just a chance happening. I'm just so glad he has hr back...the only thing bad about it besides how mysterious it all is, is how he was just starting to be ok again...poor guy.... I'm glad he's happy again, its just got to be hard on his emotional well being..."

"I'm surprised he didn't go insane on the spot," Lorey said as she pulled up a chair besides him and slowly sat down. It was good to be off her feet, especially with such a big baby.
"He was looking out for me like mad, though. I actually had to give him things to do while you were away, just so he'd have someone to take care of," she laughed. "He basically went grocery shopping for us. The fridge is loaded."

Richard had to laugh at that. "Well I'm glad you had someone here to take care of things... How is the baby by the way? And you? Have you been feeling sick recently?" He always had a habit of bombarding her with overly concerned questions. He was just so worried about her and wanted to make sure things went smoothly.

"Nothing out of the ordinary for being pregnant. Baby's been moving and shaking every now and then. I can feel they're going to be healthy." She looked beautiful, too. Such an improvement from what she seemed before they'd moved to Druis, with color and vivacity she'd always wished she could have.
"How are you? Still stressed from your trip? You look tired. Should take a nap..." One thing they had in common was how fussy they could be with each other, running on without leaving the other a word in edgewise.

Richard smiled then laughed as he stood and came over to kiss the top of her head. It was amazing to him how it had been 3 years, yet he still adored her smell, or how she made him blush.
"I am a bit tired... though thats all really love..." He assured as he cracked his back a bit. he had been flying all night, awake and alert so he could get Raquel home as fast as he could.

"Wanna take a nap?" she asked, reaching out to take his hand. "Baby and me are getting a little tired, too."
Lorey looked up to him and beamed. She, too, could look at him and still be filled with that feeling. His eyes still looked at her the same way, his smell still calmed her down instantly. Her only wish was for this to last forever, and there was no doubt in her that it would.

He smiled and nodded his agreement as he took her hand gently. "We do need to start thinking up names dear... we cant jut keep calling them 'baby' until their 5." He winked at her as was his way, as he headed up towards their room.
