Halfway through the flea market, Eric was ready to leave, he was hungry, and he was complaining to Calleigh. Speed didn't mind it, because he got to spend time with Lauren. Their long distance relationship was difficult, but to them it was worth it. Alexx and her kids were having fun. Jamie loved looking at all the cool and unusual items for sale, and she loved all the jewelry and clothes; Jamie was a typical eight year old girl.

Bryan was few feet ahead of them looking at the video game booth. According to Alexx, her son had wanted a Sony PlayStation since the beginning of time. "MOM! CAN I GET THIS PLEASE?" Bryan shouted as he held up a new PlayStation system.

Everyone looked at Alexx. She was laughing. "Bryan, honey, let me think about it. I'll have to talk to your father first," she said.

"Dad wants one too," Bryan said walking back over to his mother.

"Oh really? When did he say this, mister?" Bryan hesitated a moment. Alexx had caught her son in a lie. "Mhmm, that's what I thought."

"Crap."

"How about this, I'll think about it, and if you're good we can see about getting it on our way out. Fair?"

"Yeah… that's fair," Bryan sighed.

Lauren and Calleigh spotted the perfume booth. Perfume was Lauren's weakness. "Hey guys, I want to look in here for some new perfume."

"I'm right behind you," Calleigh chimed in.

Eric sighed. "Come on, can't we go get some food first. I'm starving."

"Delko, when shopping with women… you have to kind of just go with the flow," Speed said.

Speed walked up behind Lauren, and placed his hands on her waist. "I like that one." The fragrance had a fruity scent, but also had a touch of sophistication; he couldn't pick out the notes. "I'm going to go take Delko to the food court so he'll stop complaining."

Lauren laughed and said, "I like it too, and sounds good. Sounds like he's getting angry because he's hungry."

"Probably." Speed kissed Lauren's cheek, and let go of her. He wanted to tell Lauren he loved her, but the time and place still wasn't right.

She kissed him back. "If Horatio, Frank, and Henry get there before we do send me a quick text and we'll speed it up."

"Okay." He kissed her one last time before he and Eric headed to the food court. Speed and Eric ended up taking Jamie and Bryan with them. They were getting hungry too.

Calleigh and Alexx grinned. "Well look at you two," Alexx said to Lauren.

Lauren's cheeks turned a light shade of pink. "He's pretty perfect isn't he?"

"I don't know about perfect," Calleigh said jokingly. "But I do know he's completely head over heels in love with you." The girls shopped around a little before moving on to the next booth.

Over at the food court, Eric and Speed stood in line while Jamie and Bryan searched for a spot to sit. The place was starting to get busy, and tables were getting hard to come by.

It was almost their turn to order when Speed felt tug on his t-shirt. He looked down and saw Jamie looking up at him. "We found a table, Timmy. It's all the way in the back. Can you see Bryan?" Jamie asked pointing the far right corner of the food court. Speed followed her line of sight, and saw Bryan sitting quietly at their table.

"Yeah. I see him. We'll be right there, Jamie. You guys want a hot dog and Pepsi, right?" Speed asked. Jamie nodded her head yes and ran off back to their table.

Eric looked at Speed. He had a thought. "Hey Speed, you ever think about having kids?" Eric asked as he watched Jamie walk back to the table they had saved.

Speed looked at Eric. His question caught him by surprise. "What?"

"You ever think about having kids someday?"

Speed thought for a moment then said, "No, not really. Why? Have you?"

Eric shrugged his shoulders. "I do. Jamie and Bryan made me think about it."

"I take one day at a time. Thinking about the future isn't something I do very often." They were inching closer and closer to the order station.

"Speed, come on. In a fantasy world would you see yourself… or more like, do you see Lauren having your kids?"

Speed was saved. It was their turn to order. "Hello," said the lady behind the register. "What can I get for you boys?" Eric ordered the food and Speed paid for it. Eric didn't realize he had just a couple dollars in his wallet. "All right, your food will be up in just a minute."

"Thanks," Eric said. Eric looked up, and noticed Speed had a somewhat of an annoyed look on his face. "Hey Speed, I didn't mean to upset you? I just was curious."

Speed chuckled and said, "I'm not mad, Delko. You just made me think about things I've never really thought about." Eric breathed a sigh of relief.

"Here you go boys," the woman said as she handed them a bag full of food and a tray of drinks. Speed grabbed the food, and Eric grabbed the drinks. "Can I help the next person?"

A short time later, the girls arrived with shopping bags in hand. Coming in right behind them were Horatio, Frank, and Henry. It was as if they timed everything perfectly.
