A/N: Well folks, this is it...the last chapter to Enter Sandman! It's been a long, joyful journey and I want to thank everyone who has been along with me for the ride. Without you guys I wouldn't have had the will to take this story as far as it's gone and for that I'm eternally grateful to each and every one of you! Don't think this is the last you've seen of Illyria and Jim though because it's not, I already have a sequel brewing in my mind if you guys would like to have one so if you would please let me know in your reviews! It's been a pleasure hearing from all of you on how you've enjoyed this story because I honestly didn't think there were so many hardcore (pardon the pun) Sandman fans out there. Enough of my ramblings now before I bring myself to tears lol Please review and let me know what you think of the chapter and a sequel!
Illyria woke up the next morning to find Jim still sleeping peacefully beside her with his arms wrapped securely around her waist so she reached over on the night stand to grab her cell phone and dialed Jamie's cell number.
"Hello?"
"Jamie it's Lyria, would you mind going..."
"I already went and bought it, Kevin and I were just waiting on your call." Jamie cut her off and Illyria giggled softly.
"You can bring it on up now but would you stop by Rob's room and get him too? That way he can be here when I find out."
"Sure! Give us a few minutes to get him and we'll be up."
"Take your time, I still have to wake Jim up." Illyria said, stealing a glance over at Jim and she laughed a little when she saw his gorgeous blue eyes staring back at her. "Never mind, he's awake."
"All right, we'll be there soon."
"See you in a few." Illyria replied and hung up the phone. "How long you been awake?"
"Since you started talking, how are ya feeling baby?"
"Nauseous but then again that could be anything. Jamie already had the test when I called her so as soon as she and Kevin grab Rob they'll be up so I can take it."
"You nervous?" Jim asked, pulling her close and kissing her neck.
"As fucking hell. I'll admit when you first hit me with trashing my pills I wasn't too keen on the idea of having a baby already but the more I think about it, the more I want it."
Jim kissed her again before letting her go and getting out of bed to get dressed. "Everything will be all right baby, we'll get through it together no matter what the test says today."
Illyria smiled at him and giggled a little as she got out of bed and got dressed herself. "Watch it Jim, you're turning into a sap again."
"Aw, bite me woman." He growled, trying for anger but his smile gave him away.
"Come on over here and I will." She whispered huskily and Jim started to walk towards her but stopped when someone knocked on the door. "Oh well, guess I'll just have to bite ya later." Illyria giggled as he went to answer the door. She watched Jamie, Kevin and Rob all walk in the room and smiled when she spotted the small paper bag in Jamie's hand. "I'll take that, I gotta piss bad." Illyria stated, laughing as she ran in the bathroom.
A few minutes later Illyria sat by Jim who was staring at his watch intently, waiting for the alarm to go off and he took Illyria's hand in his when he felt her shaking. "Baby you're making me fucking nervous."
"Sorry Jim, I just can't help it."
"Look at it this way Lyria, if it comes up negative today you guys can always keep trying." Jamie spoke up and Illyria nodded.
"I know, it's just that..." Illyria trailed off when she heard the beeping of Jim's alarm on his watch so she took a deep breath and got up, walking towards the bathroom. "Well, here goes nothing." She whispered, walking inside and peering at the little stick that laid on the sink. What she saw caused her mouth to fall open and tears to come to her eyes as she slowly backed out of the bathroom.
"Well?" Jim questioned, walking over to her.
"Well...are you ready to be a dad again?" She asked, a big smile spreading across her face.
"You mean you're..."
"I'm pregnant Jim." Illyria confirmed.
