I think this may be one of the last chapters to Homeless. I'm not saying I don't like the story it's just the main conflict is coming to an end. I think this could last at most to a 20th chapter, or just one more. Or could be wrong and this goes on for like 30 chapters. It all depends on what my mind comes up with.

Kate's POV

I couldn't believe what was happening. I was being kissed by someone I had a crush on for nearly a month! It was an amazing feeling. It took a while but he finally separated our lips. The taste of his tongue was weird, but a good weird. He was smiling but I could see the embarrassment he was hiding.

I laughed, "Well that escalated quickly!" I exclaimed. I was also embarrassed but it was clouded by my extreme happiness and relief. He wasn't dead, he was okay, he... kissed me.

"Yeah I gue-," before he could finish I paid him back for kissing me by kissing him. I tongue licked his bottom lip, asking for entry. And entry he gave as my tongue roamed around his mouth, exploring the new area. My heartbeat increased. After a bit of exploration, I withdrew and gave him a hug. "So does this mean tha-"

"Yes, yes it does" I interrupted, already knowing what he was gonna ask.

He chuckled, in both relief and happiness. To be honest, even though this was weird timing, I liked when we confessed our love, the situation I feel also made it more... romantic? Our feelings had escalated quickly, and our relationship might've happened a little fast but it was fine. In my opinion, love is love, and my love for Humphrey is the strongest love I may have.

"I-I. I love you, Kate Sousa," he stuttered, suddenly.

I just smiled. I then heard my parents coming from down the hall. I basically jumped off the bed and sat down on the chair. "My parents are coming. Not a word of this to them 'kay?"

He nodded as an answer. My parents showed up a few seconds later. "Hi kids!" Mom said smiling.

Humphrey waved back, nervously. He had to be scared because of the situation he was in. Since last time he did see her he was basically dead in the blizzard. Not to mention what... just happened. "Hey, Mom!" I said reciprocating her tone.

"You feeling alright Humphrey?" Dad asked he had seemed worried. I saw Lily behind him, basically hiding. It wasn't really a surprise knowing how shy she was.

"I'm doing fine, I mean I am alive. Thank you for that," Humphrey answered, gratefully.

My father chuckled and in a gentle voice said "It's fine Humphrey. We're just glad to see you're doing okay!"

Dad wasn't wrong though. All of us are relieved that he's okay. Especially me, since I had fallen in love with him. He somehow when I first met him stole my heart. I don't know what it was, his handsomeness, or his personality. No, it was both, he was just a great person.

"So should we get down to business and get you all set to go?" The doctor asked, reminding us of what we had to do.

(Time skip: 30 minutes of paperwork and conversation later)

"So this means you'll be crashing with us, Humphrey!" Dad said happily. Humphrey nodded with a big smile. He was excited, how could he not be? He was about to get what he hadn't had for a while, a family.

We weren't technically adopting him, just providing him a home. Mom and Dad didn't want to go through the paperwork and neither did Humphrey and the Doctor was kind enough to keep quiet about everything. All Humphrey did was update his emergency contacts and other stuff and we were on our way.

The ride home was filled with questions to Humphrey, like his favorite food, drink, etc. It was also filled with jokes and laughter. Lily was getting more used to Humphrey, and we were stealing looks at each other.

When we finally made it home Humphrey just looked around and smiled. He had tears escaping his eyes ready to fall to the floor. They were tears of joy and years of pain just washing away.

"Welcome home Humphrey," we all said in unison.

"Hehe, Home," he said, as he cried. We gave him a hug, we just sat there for a few minutes, just taking everything in. It was certainly a dramatic few days, though it certainly had a storybook ending. A happy ending.

Yes, so I decided this was gonna be the finale to this story. Although I am excited to say that maybe in a couple of months or so I'll make a sequel and maybe some short stories! It's sad that one of my favorite stories of mine is coming to an end, although I'll say I'm okay with the way it turned out. Short last chapter sadly but at least it had a good ending. I hope anyway. Anyway, I'll hopefully see all you beautiful people in the sequel and in my other stories!
