Mark could hardly contain himself,it was his Mam, Nicky, and Bria with a baby. He wrapped his mom in his arms and they both sobbed, he didn't care who saw or what they thought of it. "Who is this little person?" Mark said taking the baby in his arms, it was a precious little girl.
"It's my daughter Mariah. Isn't she beautiful?" Bria said looking over his shoulder proudly.
"Thank God she doesn't look like her father." he said cradling her tight and smiling at Kimber. "Look at that will ya, I'm an uncle!"
"Of course she looks like me you git. She's gorgeous." Nicky said and they shared a laugh as he gave Mariah back to him.
"Where is everyone else?" Mark said looking around.
"Well the boys and Dad couldn't get away from work. Erica is ..."
"Right here. C'mere and give me a hug already!" she said running into his arms.
"It is so good to see you love, do you have any idea how much I've missed you? You look absolutely grand."
She smiled brightly, "Love can do that to you they say, you should know." she said smiling at Kimber over his shoulder.
"Oh my Lord am I daft. I'd love to introduce you to Kimberly Mahaffey." Kimber came forward shyly and was pleasantly surprised when they all hugged her like she was family.
"Markus sent us a lovely letter telling us all about you, I'm so glad he found you to help him through the rough times. He called you his angel." Marie Feehily said holding her hand while touching Mark's cheek tenderly.
"And he's mine." It was then Mark noticed Bryan standing at a distance watching the whole reunion, and his face to on a serious expression. "Bryan" he said and walked towards him, with Kimber holding his hand right beside him.
"Hello Mark, it's been a long time. You didn't have to run but I guess you were destined to come here. Erica has told me everything, you've done me a great injustice by assuming I'd want revenge. I am an Irishman by birth and I know how it feels to be thought second class or worse, Rob had a habit of doing that. It's time it was all behind us as we'll be relations soon, Erica has blessed me by accepting my proposal of marriage."
For the first time Mark noticed the ring on Erica's finger but could only stand there numbly. "You don't want revenge?"
"I want my wife to be happy and nothing would do that as well as having her brother home. I want nothing to do with Hazelwood, as far as I'm concerned it belongs to the Feehilys. If you want it it's yours."
The whole family roared with joy, it was just too good to be true. "I told you he would make it alright Mark." Erica said hugging Bryan close and he kissed her on top of her head.
"Aye you did. Kimber, this is it. I can go home now, where the fields are green." Kimber backed off from him slightly, "But Mark, you are home. You can't leave me, not now."
Mark pulled her close, "Who said I wanted to leave you. I could never walk away from my angel. Come with me?" he said staring deeply into her eyes. His blue eyes pleaded with her and she swore she would give him the world if he asked for it.
"I'll go with you."
