Magical Ties

She gives her a pink stone that Moll brought her back. 

"Mommy this stone is called rose (rose quartz) and it helps with heart healing. It"s for you so that you can heal faster. " 

Remi looks at her daughter, she is so much like Aisling. She is so compa.s.sionate and giving. Remi can"t help but smile at her child. 

Kissing her on the cheek . She brings the crystal holding it to her heart to show her how much she loves it. They get her into the wheelchair , Crystal jumps on her lap. Yona pushes them to the front door. Remi sits in the back with Crystal listening to her chatter. Remi gets a little nervous as they get closer to the house. She really doesn"t want to face anyone. It"s hard enough  having Yona pick her up as embarra.s.sed she is over everything. She wishes that she was as brave as Auntie Jin. If it wasn"t for her who knows what would have happened. 

Yona glances at Remi he knows she is having a hard time. He wished he could put a smile on her face instead of the dejected look she always has. Yona hopes that Jasmine and Will can discover more on Dean and his friends. He doesn"t want to have to worry about anyone coming after her again. He promised Crystal to take care of them. He wonders if she is upset about the kiss. It was barely a kiss before the family interrupted. He had a hard time sleeping thinking about it. He should not have kissed her but he was so scared and angry when he saw that mans hands on her. He acted on impulse something he never does. 

When they arrive at the house, as usual, it"s a madhouse. John gives her a big hug to welcome home and her mom takes her inside. Aisling has a surprise for her. 

Remi waves and smiles at everyone has she goes through the house. When she goes to put a foot on the step Aisling stops her. 

"Remi you need to come with me. Now this is a surprise so close your eyes. " walking her to the sitting room she opens the door . Aisling turned the room into a bedroom for Remi. It"s has an old oak sled bed with frilly white curtains. She pulled furniture from the attic and had everything cleaned up.they switched out the office furniture with the bed. Moll placed a spell so that the doorway to the cabin Can not be opened unless it"s by Aisling Maureen or herself. That way if the bookcase is opened it"s just a extra room. She turned turned the room into a walk in closet. Remi is in love with this room she is so grateful that they would do so much for her. She gives the three women each a hug in grat.i.tude. Crystal is so excited to tell her mommy how she helped with making her room. Aisling takes Remi by the hand and sits with her on the small couch. 

" Astila says you are not healed enough to climb the stairs . So until you are this will be your room. Then when your ready you can have one of the rooms upstairs. This is your home for as long as you need and want. We welcome you into our home with open arms of love. May you be happy here." Kissing her cousin on the forehead she welcomes her to their home and to the room. By doing this the room will allow her to enter the closet. Aisling takes her to the wall and shows her where the latch is. When Remi touches it the door opens and she sees her closet . All of her clothes are already in place. She smiles brightly at everyone bowing in thanks. Moll motions for everyone to leave. 

"Come on lets get out and let Remi get 

acquainted with her room. She need to look around to know where everything is. " they all go out except for Charlie. When the door closes she sits on the couch with her daughter. 

"You know that Aisling is a good person and will take care of you. Don"t get to used to it here, she someday may ask you to leave. I do not want you to become dependent on her like I did. It has been very hard for me having to do without what I became used to. Don"t get me wrong I still have my basic needs met. It"s just it"s hard for your brother to get used to. He is very resentful of her . So do not over stay or overstep. I would not want you to be punished like I am being now. "Placing her hand on Remi"s cheeks she looks at her beautiful daughter hoping that she heeds her warnings. Telling her goodbye she goes to find her brother to take her home. 

Remi thinks about what her mother had to say . Not completely understanding everything but she knows her mom hurt Aisling in some way. Aisling has never given her reason to think she would hurt her. She in turn has no reason to harm Aisling. When she gets better she plans on finding out what happened between her mom and Aisling. 

hearing a soft knock on the door she walks over to open it. Yona is standing there with a tray . 

"Aisling asked me to bring you a pitcher of water. That way you won"t have to come out till your ready. Is there anything else you need?" 

Remi nods her head and gets a pad and pen . She writes a question on it. Handing it to him he reads the question . 

"Have a seat, so what happened was this when Dude came home he had a alternative motive. Your mom,Debra,your uncle johns wife and him all were trying to have Aisling committed for being crazy. At least they were scheming to. They got caught and Aisling punished them."

Remi writes how?

"She told them that since the money , they had been living off of all these years . belonged to her then they needed to pay it back. She told your mom she needed to sell the vacation home but because of your brother and her being alone she would still help with basic needs . Anything else she would need to figure out herself." Remi nodded it made sense now why her mom suddenly started selling things but still had no money. Yona watches her process the information wondering if she is going to be resentful or not. He goes to stand up and Remi grabs his hand. Writing down what she has to say. 

"It was my mom"s fault for trying to help them. They should have been grateful to Aisling. I know my mom would spend money never thinking of the cost. She was so angry at me over Crystal that I always took care of myself. How much did she actually owe Aisling?"

"two hundred twenty thousand you should know that she still covers her basic needs. Aisling could have put them in jail but chose not to. Don"t worry about this Aisling isn"t enforcing most of her punishment just enough to make them think about what they did . She has nothing against you . She loves you ." Yona leaves to let Remi get some rest and quiet. He knows that she is worried about a lot and on a few days she will begin therapy. 

Remi knows Aisling loves her,  she also knows that she loves her mom. If it had been anyone else they would have put them in jail. What she doesn"t understand is how could her mom agree to help them in anyway. She had noticed that things had become strained between the sisters. Debra who normally was at Aisling"s house more than her own . Now started staying away for the most part. Thinking about it , in a way it"s good that they have to fend for themselves. Everyone in the family has gotten so used to depending on Aisling. That they have forgotten how to depend on their own strength. Poor Aisling she was supporting so many people and yet they dictated nearly every aspect of her life. They bullied her and still continued to expect her to give them everything. Now she is doing the same thing may be she should take Crystal and go back to her apartment. She sighed and went out to join the others. When she opens the door Aisling is standing there Remi moves aside to let her in. 

"Remi can we talk for just a minute?" Nodding they go back to sit on the couch. 

"I know that you have noticed some tension between some of us. I want you to know it has nothing to do with you. It also has nothing to do with your treatment. I never wanted anyone in the family to find out that I was supporting them. I didn"t want to question their motives every time they did something for me. I know that you may think I"m being harsh to them." Remi quickly placed her hands on Aisling"s shaking her head no. Handing her the pad. She showed her the conversation she has with Yona. 

"you are not mad at me then?" Aisling looks at Remi hoping she understands. Remi takes the pad and tells her what she thinks. 

"I think that you are being generous to them. You could have taken everything away from my mom but you didn"t. You are still taking care of her basic living expenses. So what if she has to go back to work it"s not like she can"t. She should have stood up for you whether she knew you were supporting her or not. You are her niece and you have never told the family no. For that reason alone she should have said something to someone that they were scheming. I don"t want to be a burden to you . I"m so grateful for all you have already done . I will go as soon as I am healed enough to go back to work. " Aisling embraces Remi her heart is so moved by her understanding. Aisling is on the verge of crying her emotions are just below the surface. With a shaking voice she lets Remi know how she feels. 

"I don"t want you to leave until you are completely better. I want you to finally be able to be my Remi again . This has nothing to do with money, this has to do with you getting Remi back . You are a strong loving woman who has been living with guilt that isn"t hers. With abuse she doesn"t deserve. You are my beautiful friend and cousin. I have wanted you to get help for so long , but I know the fear you have been carrying has stopped you. Please don"t give up ,please give yourself the chance to be you again." By the time she is done taking the two of them are wiping the tears away from each other"s faces. Remi nods ok making Aisling smile . They go out together to go see what the rest of the household is up to.
