A/N: Ladies-instead of trying to figure out what the present was, try to figure out who it might be from. You should actually be able to figure out who it is from after this chapter really. And yes-the honeymoon for Caleb and Livvie is definitely going to bring up some past stuff. Until next time-ya'll are the best-PCGirl.

"Wow, I thought you'd be back on your way to Alabama already," said Jack as he looked up to see Jamal walking in.

"Not yet-it was a full moon last night," he smiled. "I figured I'd give myself an extra day or so before heading down there, but now it looks like I won't be going at all."

"Why is that? Imani didn't go running off again, did she?"

"No, I told her everything that had happened here, and the new business you are starting. She said that she'd rather just come up here for awhile before we head out on the road. She's sure people will need our help with something up here, and Rafe might need me to run the gym for a few days when he finally gets out."

"So that's it? You just leave town for a few months, and then return like nothing has changed?"

-------

"I'm home," said Ian as he walked into the house. "Hello? Anyone?" he shouted, when he wasn't greeted by little children or Lucy.

"Oh, hi," said Lucy as she walked in carrying Danny on her hip.

"Hello," he said giving her a kiss. "And hello son," he said taking him from Lucy's arms. "How was your day?"

"It was bleh. I tried to talk to Doc about that package, he just said that we shouldn't tell her now-that later on we can explain who it was from."

"Then that's what we'll do," he said as he took Danny into his room, and left Lucy standing there.

-------

"How are you feeling today?" asked Livvie as they walked in to see Alison actually sitting in a chair next to Rafe's bed. "Wow, they discharged you, huh?"

"Yeah, they said I seemed fine," she said placing a hand on her stomach. "Actually all four of us are fine," she grinned looking at Rafe.

"Four?" said Livvie in a confused voice.

"Yeah, Caleb-you're going to have four slayers in town before too long," smiled Rafe. "Me, Lucy, and then two babies."

"That's wonderful," said Livvie as she gave Alison a hug. "So do we have names yet?"

"Yes, Katrina and Edward. We're guessing they are a boy and a girl," smiled Alison as she saw a look between the two men. "I need to take a little walk," she said looking at Rafe, "Will you be ok for a few minutes?" she asked Rafe.

"I'll be fine," he said giving her a kiss.

"I'm going to go see if my Dad is in his office," said Livvie, who was getting tired of trying to track him down.

-------

"Whoa. Where did that come from? I explained to you before as to why I was running with Imani before, and now I've finally come back here-to a place I consider home, and you get all in my face."

"Sorry, I've been speaking without thinking a lot lately."

"You've got that right. I heard what you said to Lucy and Livvie. Now that was real smooth-you got the big bad vamp on your bad side in a heartbeat with that line."

"Like I said I've been preoccupied lately."

"With what? The new place? I mean I know it'll take a lot of time and energy to get it ready, but that doesn't give you the right to speak out like that."

"No, it's not the new place, it's something else."

--------

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but you and Kevin are alike," she said as he came back in the room in a few minutes.

Ian just laughed at her, "Excuse me? Me and him are nothing alike."

"Well, normally you aren't, but today you definitely are. You two don't seem to care that Christina needs to know who it was from. What if it happened to Danny?"

"It won't and it can't."

"But stranger things have happened."

"Can we please get off of that part of the discussion? Did you give Chris the letter yet?"

"No."

---------

"What's up, Caleb?"

"Just came by to see how you were, that's all," he said with his hands in his pockets. "Olivia and I are going home for a month or so."

"Home? As in Daia?"

"Where else. I've got some new business to take care of there, and I figured that a little time apart from all of this will help calm a lot of nerves."

"New business-such as Annette?"

"No, I've already settled that," he said with a grin. "You know me-if you betray me you are lucky to get out alive."

"I'll vouch for that. Hey, can you look someone up for me while you are there?"

"I've already got that planned-I want to check that out myself actually. Anything else you need me to do while I'm there?"

"Yeah, I think you can," he said as he began to explain to Caleb what he had been thinking about.

-------

"Fine, I'll take the bait. What is it man?" asked Jamal, whose voice had come back down to a normal level.

"While you were gone Livvie and I got close again-real close. I thought that maybe she would finally leave Caleb. It's not that I need her back in my life, or want her to be-it's just that I enjoyed having someone at the house to talk with on a regular basis."

"She's never going to leave him. I can't see the future or anything, but I can definitely tell you that. As for being lonely-just turn on that Ramsey charm, I'm sure you'll find someone soon enough."

Jack just laughed, "Sure."

"Hey, I've got to go do some stuff at the shop real quick, I'll be back later though. Peace out."

"Later."

-------

"Why not woman?"

"Because he's happy with Elizabeth. He's finally on the right track with his love life, and we're going to hand him this? I won't do it."

"Fine, I will. Where is the letter?"

"I threw it away," she grimaced at his reaction.

"I swear woman, if I'm like Kevin then you are definitely like Eve," he laughed. "I guess you get your way though with Chris' letter."

------

The men had finished speaking when Alison and Livvie returned, "Any luck on seeing your Dad?"

"I didn't even have to go to his office, he called me when we were on the elevator. He's on an airplane on his way to Houston. Says he'll be gone until the end of the month."

"We'll see him when we get back," he said giving her a quick kiss.

"Have fun while you are gone," said Alison as she went and sat on the edge of Rafe's bed next to him.

"We plan on it," said Caleb with a sly grin as he and Livvie left the room.
