Shipper Queen Hippie Quad After delivering the letters, Benji walked back down stairs. His leg was no longer limping and his eyes were both working like they should. Emmylyne was a miracle worker. He was glad she was training to be a healer even more than before now.
Walking back into the kitchen, he could smell food begining to cook. Food! That was something he had been longing for almost as much as seen his friends and family. A home-cooked meal. He took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. It was making his stomach growl. "That smells delicious Eli." he commented. As he was about to sit onto a nearby chair, a loud crack filled the room. Jennifer Lawley appeared in the house, a letter still clutched in her trembling had. She wasnt entirely sure how she had managed to apparate without splinching herself, but she had. Opening and closing her sandy brown eyes quickly, she tired to hold in the tears threating to fall. Was he really standing there before her? Her older brother? Benji was back? She had been at his funeral. She had cried for months. Just today somebody mentioned a Ben at work, and her eyes had welled up. But here he was now. In a sling and had that oh-to familiar smile on his face. "Benji?" Jenny said slowly. Her chest hurt and it was growing harder and harder to breath. A ball the size of a softball was formed in the back of her throat, making it hard to swallow. She could feel her whole body trembling, but she did nothing to stop it. A smile formed on Benjamin's face as he saw his baby sisted appear in the kitchen. "Jen." he said happily. He then walked the few steps toward her and wrapped his arm around her. He pulled her closer to him and hung on tight. As Ben pulled her into a hug, she let her tears fall. He was alive! She couldnt believe he was alive. "Oh Ben. I thought you were gone. I thought I was going to have to live without my brother!" she cried soflty into his shoulder. Jodie Lawley apparated into the living room. She held a determined expression on her face as she took steady steps into the kitchen. The first thing her sky blue eyes saw, were Jenny hugging somebody. Her first thoughts were "Wow, Jenny is here, with Emmy in the same house." But then she remembered why she was here. She could only see the person's back but she knew who it was. "Benjamin? Your alive!" she said enthusiasticly and walked over to her two younger siblings. She wrapped her arms around them both and laid her head upon the youngest. She couldnt believe he was alive and she couldnt be more happier.
