" Thanks Izzy." Rick called; lifting his sleeping son from his newly revived wife's arms. They were back at the airfield and all the man wanted to do was go to sleep. Of course, he had to get his son, wife and annoying brother-in-law home first.
" Thanks nothing. I want the diamond." The black man snatched at the diamond in Jonathan's arms and, of course, Jonathan moved the huge rock out of Izzy's itching fingers.
" No bloody way!" Jonathan, though half asleep, wasn't about to give up without a fight. Rick rolled his eyes as Evy landed with a quiet thud beside him. He looked at her, not believing that he had held her in his arms, dead as can be.
" What was it like?" He asked quietly as they walked away from the scrabble going on the airible.
" What was what like?" She asked, knowing perfectly well what he meant.
" Dying. Being dead. Take your pick." The two shuffled away, talking and barely registering Jonathan and Izzy's whoops and hollers.
" I think- I think I was in heaven. Or something similar, when Alex brought me back."
Rick waited a few moments, trying to interpret his wife's tone of voice. " I'm sorry."
She smiled, stopping him in his tracks to look at him. " Don't be. There is very little that could compare to you and Alex. Not to mention I'm still needed here. It wasn't my time."
The two shared a laugh as Rick shifted Alex in his arms. " Now you're starting to sound like Ardeth. Let's go home." At his words Jonathan came flying past, diamond still clutched firmly in his arms. Rick waited a second before sticking his booted foot out and tripping Izzy.
" Just like old times."

A/N: Just a short piece after TMR. Thought it was a good way to go into another story/idea I have… if I have one. Tell me what you think please.
