*Malefica looked down at him, as tears started filling her eyes. She realized he had loved her more than she was aware of. She lifted her head, and a warm feeling filled her heart. A bright smile returned to her face. Icarus loved her!
And when he nuzzled her neck, something happened. Something she didn't deserve, but it happened anyway. Her spirit were pulled back into her body, her heart started beating again, and she could breathe.
The wonderful feeling of happiness crashed over her, and tears of joy fell down her cheek. She turned her head and kissed him back, with all her love.*
"Yes my love," *She replied softly.* "I am back. And this time I will stay with you forever."

((*blinks* Once again, WTF, mate?))
*Icarus smiled for a moment, but then he frowned. She was louder now. Something nagged in the back of his mind.*
Of course you will...
*His eyes opened to find both of them fully dressed. That was weird. He struggled against his exhaustion, trying to sort things out as he looked around. There was something on the table. A flower. And his ring. His brow furrowed deeply.*
"What's going on here?"

Ooooops.....
*Malefica smiled. She decided that the situation was bad enough as it was, without her lying for him. So she decided to be honest.*
"Once again I have made a complete fool of myself. I promise to tell you everything about it afterwards, but first we need to get Eden back inside. She has escaped!"

*His energy renewed, Icarus pushed himself from bed.*
"Escaped?! How could you let this happen?"
*Fury swelled in him, but only then did he notice the note next to his ring. Thinking it might be a clue as to Eden's whereabouts, he grabbed it up instantly. But it wasn't. As he read, his anger swelled and his wings burst forward as his rage blossomed. He spun on her, crumpling the note in his hand even as he extended it towards her.*
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"
*His voice echo in deep reverberations from the walls of the room and into the belly of the house.*

*Malefica looked up at him, with tears in her eyes, more anxious about her daughter than herself.*
"As I said: I will tell you everything afterwards. But for the love of God: Rescue Eden first! I don't care how you punish me afterwards, but bring her to safety. Please!""

*As much as it pained him, she was right. His eyes flew to the door as he hurried downstairs, not checking to see if she was following.*
"Did she say anything? Any hint of where she might go?"
*His words were focused, his mind trying to calculate things as he went.*

*Malefica hurried after him, determined to help him anyway she could in seeking after the child.*
"No, not a word. She only said she was going out. She brought with her a blanket, a cookie jar and a peanut butter sandwich. I tried to stop her, but she went right through me!"

Well she wouldn't have if you hadn't been so...rash.
*Later, he swore to himself. Icarus bit his tongue and hurried out onto the street. He would never forgive her if something happened to Eden. He would never forgive himself.*

*Malefica ran after Icarus, after leaving the door open so Eden could enter if she came home before them. She knew she would never forgive herself if anything happened to her daughter.*

**LATER THAT NIGHT**
*A much taller and much fuller Eden found the way home with surprising ease, abandoning the ride a couple miles out. The walk was good, the air was cleaner here. Made her feel invigorated, unstoppable.
Heh. Home sweet house.
*The door was open. She grinned and shook her head.*
Aww, Mother…Daddy would never do something like this…
*She stepped inside. Everything was the same. Just as she’d left it. She nodded, understanding. Shutting her eyes a moment, she giggled. Opening them, she examined her hand, tiny once more. Flipping back her blonde locks, she spun about in her dress. Just like the night she left. It was important to make sure everything was perfect, including her looking like the five-year old that she had left as. She smirked, tucking her hair behind her ear. After all, grumpy old Sherman wasn’t the only one with a bag of tricks in the temporal department. This was going to be fun.*

*Icarus landed deftly, releasing Malefica without stopping as he ran into the house. There she was. And seemingly unharmed. He swept her up into his arms with a great sigh of relief.*
"There you are. You gave us quite a fright."

*Eden wrapped her arms tightly around Icarus's neck.*
"I'm sorry, Daddy."
*Then she remembered something and pouted gently.*
"I just wanted to make Mother feel better."

*Malefica came over and lifted Eden up in her arms, embracing her as tears of joy filled her eyes.*
"Honey. Promise me you never, ever, ever disappear like this again. I will not feel better without you. I just did something stupid, as I often do. Can you forgive me?"
*She whispered in Eden's ear.*
"I am not a ghost anymore. And I promise that I will never leave you or daddy again."

*Eden quirked a brow.*
That's it? You kill yourself and you're cross at me 'cause I ran off...trying to help you? Bollucks to that.
*Nevertheless, Eden embraced Malefica tightly.*
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be bad. But I'm here now. Isn't that what matters?"
*She pouted gently.*

*Malefica held Eden tightly, caressing her golden hair and kissed her lovingly.*
"Oh, honey, you are not bad. You're a good girl. We aren't cross at you , honey. We were just so frightened that we had lost you forever. We love you so much. "
*She kissed the adorable little pout, and rocked Eden gently in her arms.*
"You must be starved. Do you want me to fix you something good in the kitchen?"
