The airplane finally landed and to the Montgomery's plus two, surprise, it was also raining in London. Guess the gloominess wasn't left behind in California. The Rolls Royce took them back to their townhouse and suddenly it didn't feel like coming home at all. Spencer and Emily stayed back to help with the luggage while Aria and Kenna entered the home.
"Hello? We're home." Aria called out, knowing Hanna was in the house, but upon receiving no answer, she told Kenna to wait while she went to the study. She saw her on the corner desk, hidden behind a fashion magazine, as she always was.
"Hey stranger," she said and watched the magazine go down but she didn't see Hanna Marin with her whining smile and bright eyes.
"Hey Mom, did you know that the Concorde gets you here in half the time?" Addison DiLaurentis asked.
"Yes...I've...I've heard that." Aria stammered, still in shock.
Kenna went into the study after convincing herself that she was delusional and homesick to have heard her twin sister's voice in place of her aunts.
"What're you doing here?" she asked Addison excitedly after seeing in fact, she wasn't delusional and that her twin sister was here.
Addison smiled, fighting the strong urge to run and hug her sister. "It took us around ten minutes after you guys left for us to realise we didn't want to lose you again." Addison explained, standing up.
"We?" Aria was bewildered and she took a step towards her daughter whose gaze was somewhere else.
"We." Jason agreed, stepping into the study and Aria gasped sharply.
"I made a mistake of not coming after you once, Ari, I'm not gonna do that again – no matter how brave you are." He said and smiled.
Aria felt her knees wobble as tears gathered in her eyes as she tried to maintain some semblance of sense into her head that was now being overridden by her heart.
"And I suppose you just expect me to go weak at the knees and fall into your arms and cry hysterically and say that we'll just figure this whole thing out – a bi-continental relationship with...our daughters being here and...and there and you and I...just picking off where we left off and growing old together and...and...c'mon Jason, what did you expect?" she looked up and was face to face with Jason. For every phrase, that she was stammering, he took a step closer to her flustered state as his smile grew with every word she uttered.
"...to live happily ever after?" Aria blurted and Jason was now wiping away her tears with his thumbs as he cupped her face and tilted it up to him.
"Yes...to all the above; except you don't have to cry hysterically.," he quipped with a mischievous grin.
"Oh yes I do..." Aria managed to end her sentence before Jason's lips were upon her and she kissed him back with all the longing she garnered through the years. Jason held her closer and deepened the kiss as Addison and Kenna watched.
"We actually did it." Addison said and slid down the corner feeling giddy while Kenna sighed happily and fell back onto the armchair. She snuck happily out into the hall a few seconds later and motioned for Addison to follow.
Addison tore her gaze from her parents an also snuck into the hall, where her sister was happily jumping up and down.
"We did it. We did it!" Addison exclaimed, jumping up and down with her sister. She didn't actually think it would work, even though it was her plan in the beginning.
"It's unbelievable." Kenna beamed, pulling her sister in for an excited and congratulatory hug.
"Oh my god, you guys are gonna love living in California." Addison exclaimed when she sopped jumping and pulled away from her sister.
Kenna's face fell. "What do you mean...California? You two are gonna love living in London." She argues, standing her ground.
"London?" Addison's jaw dropped.
