A/N: This chapter is pretty short but it gets across what I want it to and before you even start reading I will warn you that I was in a strangely happy mood while writing this and after reading over what I wrote my mood reflected in my characters attitudes so if Sandman seems a little...happier and playful than normal that's why lol. Please review and let me know what you think!

"You know this fucking sucks right?" Illyria grumbled, laying her head against Jim's chest. It was a couple of days after she got her tattoo and she was standing in the airport with Jim and Scott as they watched Tyler getting ready to board a flight for home.

"I know baby but it can't be helped, he's got school starting up soon and his mom would have my fucking head if I made him miss school."

"I suppose I can't have that since I'm quite fond of where your head is...both of them actually." She whispered, grinding her hips against his.

"You two fucking knock it off, we're in the middle of a damn airport." Scott said, laughing.

"All right, all right Scotty geez." Illyria giggled but then she sighed. "I'm going to miss him though...he's a good kid even if he does remind me too much of you."

"And just what the hell is that supposed to mean?" Jim asked, tickling her sides a little.

"She's simply saying that having one of you around is bad enough Fullington." Scott stated causing Illyria to burst out in laughter.

"All right, ticket all bought and I'm ready to go...I guess." Tyler said, walking back over to them.

Jim let go of Illyria for a minutes to hug his son who smiled. "I'm gonna miss you son, it was nice having you around for a while."

"I'm gonna miss you too dad but I can come back for a few days on Christmas break if you want."

"He wants." Illyria spoke up, smiling at Tyler. "I'd like to have you back here too...you can help me keep him in line." She said and he laughed.

"I can do that." Tyler replied, hugging her. "You take care of my dad Lyria, you're good for him and if he ever treats you bad you call me and I'll kick his butt for you."

"I'll hold you to that Tyler and trust me, I'll take good care of him...I love him too much not to."

"I know you do and I'm glad about that." Tyler gave them both another hug then shook hands with Scott before walking through the gate. With one last wave he disappeared down the long hall towards the plane.

"Keep me in line huh?" Jim asked, walking back over to her and he sighed when he saw the tears in her eyes. "Aww baby, you got attached to him didn't you?"

"Yeah I guess I did...I'm gonna miss having him around Jim."

"I know baby but you heard him, he'll be back for Christmas and maybe if we're lucky we'll be on our way to starting our own family by then." He whispered, rubbing her stomach and she smiled a little.

"Say what?" Scott exclaimed, completely shocked at what he had just heard.

"Fuck, that's right...we haven't had the chance to tell you yet. Lyria tossed her pills the day I asked her to marry me and we're gonna start trying to get her pregnant." Jim explained as they began walking out of the airport.

"Well damn, I never thought I'd see the day come where you'd be getting married again let alone thinking about more kids."

"Hell Levy, neither did I." Jim said, laughing. "But with Lyria...that's all I've been thinking about lately." He admitted, kissing her.

"And just for the record I never brought up marriage or kids to him the whole time we've been together, it was all him." Lyria stated, climbing in the drivers side of Jim's rental and waiting for them to get in. She was about to say something else when her cell phone rang. "It never fails." Illyria mumbled, grabbing her phone off the dashboard. "Hello?"

"Illyria Ann, it's Terry...where are you?"

"Jim, Scotty and I are at the airport. We just got done seeing Tyler off because he's going back home since school's starting up soon...why?"

"Your brother and I were just getting ready to go to lunch and we were wondering if you guys wanted to go with us?"

"Sure, where are you guys going?" Illyria asked, pulling out of the airport parking lot.

"Just to the restaurant in the hotel."

"All right, give us about ten to fifteen minutes to get there and meet us in the lobby."

"Sounds fine, see you soon."

"Okay, love you." She said, fumbling with the radio.

"Love you too Illyria Ann."

"Who's meeting us baby?" Jim questioned when she hung up the phone.

"That was Terry, he and Rob are getting ready to go to lunch and wanted to know if the three of us wanted to go with them."

"Food sounds good." Scott spoke up and Illyria giggled as she peeked at him in the rearview mirror.

"When doesn't food sound good to you?"

"When I'm in the mood for sex." He replied, smiling evilly and winking at her.

"You've so been hanging around my man too long Scotty." Illyria stated, laughing.

"Hey!"

"Aww you know I love you Jim and I'm sure as hell not complaining about all the sex."

"Yeah, well, you better not be." Jim grumbled, leaning over and kissing her neck when she stopped at a red light. "I love you too baby."
