"Hmm" was all Christian said as he walked thinking that clearly the boy still had a lot to learn about rudeness and that clearly it was going to be a long night. He found himself wishing that Emma would have been there either having come on her own or with Christine. She was...the middle ground and Elliot would be....what WOULD he be? They hadn't parted well and the last letter she had written had been heartbreaking, plus that small amount of time when he herself HAD seen her... he just couldn't help but wonder.

"Maybe tone it down a bit baba, uncle Chris doesn't know your humour as well as I do just yet..." She said gently to her son, who looked up at her, his face reading clearly 'do I have to?' "Please, for me? You don't want your uncle to not like you, or risk that, do you?" He shook his head no

In another part of town Emma found herself facing something of her own challenge for a few years now she had lived off the street, her once small form even smaller as she tried to think of her next move. A huge part of her wanted nothing more than to go to her old home, so much of her life still there, hidden behind the walls and an even greater part buried within its sand.
A single tear ran down her face at this memory, it had been the one time she had let herself be known to at least one Grey again though after a few months of even him she hadn't been able to take it, make herself forget and then there was Elliot, the ring he had given her still around her neck her footsteeps stopping as her mind recalled what new information she had learnt about him.

"So, what's news with you Chris?" Christine asked her brother, Charlie happily sketching on his tablet, brow creased in concentration

"Not much really. Just this and that, you know how it is." he stated not wanting to get into that mind set. "You should ask Elliot and Mia that question, however. Mia's found herself a new guy and Elliot... well, he's been kind of on the rocks lately."

"Charming that, I have to find out about my sister-in-law and my niece and nephew through media, rather than hear you gush or even act like you care bout em... Nothings change with you there then."

"Would you stop acting so high and mighty? You left. No one could find you. Elliot left Emma at the altar because of you and in turn no ones heard from her in years. He lost a bride, I lost a best friend and Mum lost another daughter."
He was married, had a kid....it was for the better Emma told herself. She had heard that they were happy and that was all she had wanted for him, though it hurt just like the pain that suddenly seemed to shot throughout her body making her legs go weak and her vision to cloud over making the next thing she knew was waking up in what seemed like a bed with a face looming over her that she hadn't seen in awhile, save for in pictures.

"I didn't want to be found... It was..." She hung her head, "it was the most selfish and stupid thing I have ever done... In turn I denied my Charlie from even getting to see his father, that was until we came back... I know words are just... Well, what they are, vibrations in the air we hear and understand as language but... I am beyond sorry, Christian." She said, looking at him side on, calling him by his full name for the first time in years, what had been her way of letting him know she was serious.
"Emma?" He asked, reaching down he stroked her cheek, brow creased, still unsure if she was who he thought she was.

"Selfish is an understatement but there's nothing we can do about it now. We've all made mistakes, some bigger than others." He let out a breath, remembering his own "Lets just...leave the past in the past."
Her cheek felt warm as he brushed his fingertips over it, her vision slowly trying to come into focus but not quite getting there only leaving a dark shadow hanging over her.
"W...w..where am I?" she instead questioned hoping for more answers then just one.

She nodded, lightly placing her hand upon his, before withdrawing it again after a moment. Charlie looked between the two, eyebrow raised
"Grown ups are weird," he concluded with a nod.
"Baby boy, you have no idea..." Christine smirked, kissing his cheek
"You're safe, in bed... I found you on the streets not far from here... Oh Em, what happened to you..? No ones seen you in... Five years

"And be greatful you won't have to worry about it for years to come. Besides, when it comes to your aunt and uncle you won't be able to tell the difference."
"I didn't want to be found." She started still trying to take form of the shadow but her head was still spinning. "W...who are you?"

"Saying that, the way the media's going kids will be turning white before they're ten..."
"NO! I like my hair this colour, not white!" Charlie yelped, making his mother snort slightly
"Oh baba boo, I was just joking... It'll go gray first..."
"Em, it's me, it's Elliot... What do you mean you didn't want to be found"

"You know how I feel about the media. Bunch of prying..." he stopped himself looking back at Charlie. "Well let's just say it's not something that is to highly thought of."
"Elliot?" she questioned shaking her head slightly, thinking it a dream and completely forgetting about his question "No...no it can't be."

"I can agree with you completely there... So does Charles... Had to move my monkey three times nursery wise... Apparently if you have one of those stupid badges, it's not weird when you photograph someones kid... Bull,"
"It is bunny, it's Elliot, fuck... Baby you need to eat, and eat soon

"Please, there should be a law against it. Adults make choices to be in that kind of lifestyle, kids don't and any other time it would be against the law." His face started to turn red "Maybe we can talk to Dad about it."
"I'm not hungry Elliot and please don't...don't call me that."
