Ruby had spotted them just a few seconds before Marney cried out for her, a brief moment to observe them naturally, Marney snuggled down in Emma's lap and both of them seeming to be focused on the gameboy. Though Emma's mind was clearly elsewhere. When Marney ran for her legs, the little girl clinging to her was almost enough to knock her off her feet, but she wasted no time in scooping her daughter up into her arms, squeezing her.

It was the first time in a long time that Ruby had grinned so widely that she felt her cheeks could crack. She peppered the little brunette's face in kisses, squeezing her again, as if to solidify the fact that she was really there, she was really holding her like she had so seldom got to do over the last four years. "Of course we are, baby. We were always a family," Ruby corrected her, gingerly taking the gameboy from her before she dropped it to the ground in her excitement.

She looked over the top of Marney's head at Emma, her grin lessening, softening. "Hey yourself," she answered, trying to be confident, despite the emotions whirling inside of her. She tried to fight it, but she could feel the familiar feeling right in her throat, wanting to cry, wanting to tear up. She gave a watery sigh, sniffling and turning her head a bit. She said she wasn't going to do this. "Sorry," she choked out.
