Authors Note: ok so these next three chapters will be the ending. I pondered making them one, and then decided that smaller was better, less confusing and what-not. Also I moved up a little in the timeline of things cause I just couldn't write a reunion, it turned out way too corny for my tastes. Anywho, review please, any comments suggestions? Let me hear'em. I might just put them in something! ;)

Later that night…
With all the press we all got a few days off. There were too many cameras, cops, civilians, just too much everything for us to be training. Which was just perfect. In eight hours my sons were on the next flight stateside. Stephanie going to pick them up and watch them until Angela's boat made it stateside.
That had been a phone call I had enjoyed making, literally. As much as Angela was an essential part of their lives. For some reason I wanted them to get used to her. I wanted to see how she reacted to them. Not that I had a snowballs chance in hell with her. I'm sure all women wanted a single father of two sons who was going to be gone…a lot.
But there was just something about her.
I had eight hours to ponder it.
Until the eight hours were up I had them with me, safe.
They had been safe for the last ten hours eating crappy hospital food and watching Jerry Springer in the Nurses Lounge.
Now they were asleep like nothing had happened. Hogging the covers from one another in my small bed.
I wasn't sleeping.
Hell no.
I was wide-awake in the chair next to their bed watching them sleep.
Something I hadn't done since I brought them home from the hospital, or the night I got them back from my ex.
All the guys on my team and the Aussies loved them. No one cared that they were in my bed.
Bear pretended not to see them.
For that I was very grateful, I owed him for that. He gave me eight hours with my sons.
