Authors Note: Hi!! Everyone...

how's life out there in TV land, or I guess in this case it would be Fan Fiction Land =)

Anyway, Here's another chapter.... I have to say that this story is not moving as quickly as I expected... I'm really going to try and speed it up. That means the next chapter posted will wrap up the Belle and Christopher story which has gone on long enough in my opinion. Which in turn means it will be long... which means it could take a few days. On the bright side the world hasn't ended. =)

I know, that has side nothing to do with this side but hey no one said the bright side has to be the other side of the same issue, right? =)

Thanks for all your reviews, your all so great!! =)

In an instant she flew off sofa in its direction. She emerged a few moments later with a flushed toddler, who had his face buried in her neck.

"Look whose up from his nap." She said as she sat down next to Roxton.

"Hey buddy, how are ya?" John said as he ruffled Will's hair.

The boy didn't respond just continued to hide his face in his mother's neck.

"I think somebody is still tired." Marguerite said with a smile. "Maybe we should take a another nap." She said teasingly.

The little boy's head popped up instantly, "no...I awake, momma, I awake.....see..." he said as he leaned in and pressed his open eye to her face.

"Yes...yes I see." she said laughing. "so no second nap?"

"no" he said firmly shaking his head. "hi daddy..." he said, just noticing his father.

"Hey buddy, did you notice whose back?"

Will turned and looked around, when he spotted Veronica, his face lit up. "Aunt Ronnie...." he said as flew off his mother. "Auntie Finn.... Grandpa George...." he said as he hugged each one. "Yours back!!! Yours' back!!!" He added jumping up and down between them. Stopping he searched the main room and kitchen with his gaze, "Is Layton back? and Uncle Ned... Are's they here? Where?"

"no darling..."Veronica said as she pulled him towards her and onto her lap. "There not back yet, maybe later."

"I miss them." he said seriously.

"Yes I miss them too." Veronicas said gently, thinking this was just sweetest little boy in the world.

"I sure d'they miss you, Aunt Ronnie. Layton has to miss his mommy."

"You think so?"

He nodded vigorously, "don't be sad. I here. and Layton'll be here maybe later." he said copying her words.

Yes, she thought as she gave him a hug, the sweetest child in the world. "Thank you Will."

"We have a guest Will." John said.

The little boy's head popped up and he smiled when he saw Karla. "hello..." he said as he went to her extending his little hand. "I William John Roxton. Nice meet you."

Taking his little hand Karla smiled, "The pleasure is all mine."

He shook it vigorously, "Are's you lost? We helped losts peoples." He said settling himself on his mothers lap.

"Yes as a matter of fact I am lost. I came here with a very good friend of mine whose exploring South American jungles and we managed to end up here."

"Wheres your b'very goods friend?"

"I'm not sure. You see we ran into some trouble a couple of days back and I got separated from them."

"We cans help you." Looking over at Roxton he added, "rights daddy? we's can help."

"Of course we can son."

"Are you hungry buddy?" Marguerite asked.

"A littles" he said.

"a little enough to want to eat?" Marguerite said smiling as she held him a bit closer.

"Yes." he said simply.

"Come on honey, lets see what we can rustle up in the kitchen." Veronica said as she stood and offered him her hand. Which he took without hesitation. They wandered off to kitchen.

Marguerite waited until he was out of earshot before saying, "alright, so they couldn't live like that. What happened? what did they do?" She spoke firmly, quickly obviously wanting to get to the end of this tale.

Karla's gaze had been on Will and now she transferred it back to Marguerite.
