A/N: Okay, so I probably should've said I'd have this all up tonight... haha. See the first chapter for the disclaimer. I hope you guys enjoyed the rewrite, and stay tuned for the sequel, tentatively titled, "Who Says You Can't Go Home?"

Epilogue

Caden groaned. "It's too early in the morning for this," he grunted.

Greg frowned. "Amen," he replied.

Grissom shook his head. "This is the first flight we could get," he said.

"Be nice to your boss," Nancy said.

"Yes, Mother," Greg retorted. Alexa snored against Caden's shoulder while Adam shook his head, chuckling.

"Like father, like son," Adam commented.

"There's a reason I work the night shift."

"I was talking about you and Caden."

"Oh. Right." Greg stood still, his ribs continuing to ache too much to move. His wrist was in a cast, and both Alexa and Caden had already taken to decorating it after Adam's nudging. Greg had been sleeping when they took the markers to the cast, and Adam had his hands full trying to keep the mischievous twins from drawing all over their father's face.

Greg stared at the twins, not sure how the transition to fatherhood was going to go. He was scared and nervous, but excited all the same. He had just wished he'd been there from the beginning. At least I get the chance now, he thought to himself.

"You'll do fine," Adam said softly, causing Greg to jump and, subsequently, wince at the pain it caused his ribs. "Sorry."

"It's okay," Greg replied. "And, I hate when you do that."

"I can't help it. You're easy to read."

"Yeah, yeah."

"That's what Audrey always loved about you." The duo fell silent, thinking about Audrey. Alexa was very close in resemblance to her, except that she had Greg's hair color. Caden was the spitting image of Greg, though, something that still had yet to stop amazing Greg.

"I'm really sorry, Adam," Greg said softly.

"For what?" Adam replied.

"About Audrey. About this whole trip."

Adam shook his head. "Don't be sorry about the trip, Greg. It was only a matter of time."

Greg bit the inside of his lip lightly. "Yeah."

"If anything, I'm sorry. I should've told you about all of this years ago, and I didn't. it's my fault."

Greg sighed. "Can we agree to disagree that it's both our faults?"

Adam laughed. "Fair enough." They shook hands, and Greg smirked.

"I just realized, you owe me 20 bucks," he said.

"For what?" Adam asked.

"We had a bet as to who would have kids first. You owe me."

"Now, wait a minute. I bet you'd have kids first."

"No, I bet I'd be first."

"No, you bet on me."

"No, I didn't."

"Yeah, you did. Ask Nancy."

"Mom, did I bet I would have kids first, or that Adam would?" Greg asked.

Nancy laughed. "You bet that Adam would," she replied.

Greg frowned. "Damn."

"I told you!" Adam said. "So, you owe me 20 bucks."

"Fine," Greg replied, digging into his pocket. Grissom shook his head as Greg paid Adam.

Adam smirked. "Pleasure doing business with you."

Greg rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah."

Their flight was called, and the group began to board. Adam said goodbye to the twins, promising to call and write often. They gave him sad smiles, with Alexa crying as she hugged Adam tightly. They finally turned and walked away, boarding the plane as Greg turned to Adam.

"I wouldn't say this trip was much fun," Adam said.

"No, not really," Greg replied.

"But we'll have to do it again some time."

"Definitely. Maybe next time, you can come out and visit me."

"I'll see what I can do."

Greg and Adam hugged briefly.

"I'll see ya around, kid," Greg said.

"Don't be a stranger," Adam replied.

Greg nodded, turning and walking away. Before disappearing down the tunnel, he turned back around to Adam.

"Oh, and before I forget, I expect to hear you're with Kendall or some other girl next I hear from you," Greg joked.

Adam shook his head. "You just worry about your own damn love life," he retorted.

Greg smirked. "Take care, Adam."

Adam nodded. "You too. Bye, Greg."

Greg simply waved.
