"Oh Hoggle you make me laugh" Johnny sat in his swing watching the vivid colors bounce off the television screen. He was watching The Labyrinth, which had become one of his favorite movies early on "Toby is so lucky he was chosen by the Goblin King to be his heir. I wanna be the heir to the goblin kingdom and live with the goblin king in the Labyrinth. Maybe if I wish really hard the goblin king will come and take me to there. I wish I could live in the labyrinth … I wish I could live in the labyrinth" Rainey stepped in front of the television screen and bent down to pick up the infant.

"No Mommy! I'm waiting for the goblin king to take me to the labyrinth!"

"That's enough of that movie for today sweetie" Rainey kissed the top of his head "today we are going on an adventure"

"Oh what kind of adventure?"

"We are going on an airplane to visit daddy" she placed him in his carrier and put his Boston Red Sox hat upon his head. She also put his shoes on him.

"Who is this daddy person and why haven't I met him before … I don't like this idea Mommy I'd much rather stay home and watch my movie"

"Doesn't our adventure sound exciting?" she asked in a baby voice.

"No it doesn't and what is it with you and that stupid voice you always use? Huh I'm not an idiot … geeze"

"I'm sure Daddy can't wait to see you"

It was almost 4:30 and John looked at his watch for the 3rd time in 5 minutes. He had been pestering Rainey to take some time off and come stay with him. Finally after 3 months of pestering he got his wish. She had taken 2 weeks off and was bringing Johnny to see him. John had not seen his son since he was about a month old, he was currently four months. Although Rainey was always emailing him pictures and little videos it wasn't the same as being there and seeing every little milestone first hand. He heard the overhead announcement that their plane had landed and he could feel the excitement bubbling up inside him.

"Rainey over here" he waved at her when he finally saw her. She leisurely pushed Johnny's stroller over to where he stood.

"Hey" she smiled as she gave him a hug.

"There's my big guy" John was once again beaming as he moved back the stroller's visor. Johnny had his foot up in the air trying to get his sock off his right foot, he had already succeeded with the left.

"Can a fella get some privacy here?"

John unbuckled the baby from his stroller and picked him up. He had tripled in size since he had last seen him. His dark brown hair was growing out and currently going in every which direction due to the hat he was wearing.

"Hey I remember you now … you were there when I was born … well you must be that daddy guy mommy was talking about"

"I missed you buddy"

"Well who wouldn't miss me … I'm perfect"

"Raines I can't believe how big he has gotten" John remarked still holding Johnny while Rainey pushed the empty stroller next to them.

"If he gets any bigger we'll have to enroll him in college"

"Guess what Johnny Daddy is going to take you and Mommy to Disney World"

"Isn't that the place that I saw on television with the giant mouse? Cause if it is I don't wanna go!"

"So how's life?" John asked Rainey.

"Can't complain, I'm back to transporting and Johnny loves your mom"

"Yeah she called me the other day and told me that she loves watching him too"

"I will admit that you were right about your mom watching him, she's taught me a lot"

"Well then I'm glad I was right"

"So what's the game plan for this vacation?" Rainey asked.

"Oh I have some big plans" he flashed her a quick smile.

"It's never good when he smiles" Rainey mentally prepared herself for what was to come.
