Chapter 3
When Matt had left to go to the Menagerie all attention turned to baby Nicholas.
"I know I only know you through gossip and reading files and I have no permission to say this but he is the cutest thing I have ever seen"
"Thank you"
"So what happened?" asked Becker.
"Don't say a word until your debriefing with Matt tomorrow morning".
"Fine, but how's Jack?"
"He's okay, he went back to college, I've been keeping an eye on him for you"
"Really!"
"Yeah"
"What about Rex and Sid and Nancy?" inquired Connor
"We got Sid and Nancy back to their own time, but Rex is holed up in the menagerie, when you disappeared, we put all three of them into the menagerie, Rex is still there".
"I wanna see him"
"Do you think he's want to see you at this moment in time, you do smell kind of ripe"
"Thanks, I suppose I could do with a shower and a change of clothes"
"I shall call a hotel, book a suite for the three of you" offered Lester
"You don't have to do that"
"I think it's the least you deserve don't you?"
"I'll go to your flat, get you some clothes, and buy some for the baby" said Becker.
"You kept my flat, why can't we just go there?"
"Because it's not liveable at the moment, dust everywhere, didn't know how long you'd be gone see"
"Thank you"
"Yeah mate, what she said"
"Now go, I can't stand that smell a moment longer, do not come back until tomorrow, so you can have a proper rest, ok"
"Okay"
A couple of hours later when the sun is just beginning to set Connor wakes up in the hotel bed to see Abby not next to him and Nicky not in his cot. So he sat up and saw Abby holding him out on the balcony, pulled on a pair of trousers and went out to join them.
"Can you believe we're actually here, after all this time?" asked Abby.
"I'm beginning to, I know we used to see the sun set all the time in the Cretaceous but nothing beats the sun setting over London"
"Yeah"
Connor just hugs his girlfriend and son for a few moments before Abby says "Before we go to the ARC tomorrow morning I asked Becker to take us to see Jack, is that ok?"
"Of course, he's your brother and Nicky deserves to know his Uncle"
"I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees us"
"Do you think he'll be stunned silence or faint from shock?"
"He's not the fainting from shock type, so I'll say the stunned silence"
Nicky begins gurgling causing his parents to look down at him.
"I think someone's a little tired" says Connor.
"Let's go put him to bed, come out and watch the sun set and then get some more sleep ourselves"
"Sounds like a plan"
