Ch. 3

"Sam Gilligan Perry Dorian and Jennifer Dylan Cox, get your butt over here right now!" JD bellowed as he and Jack turned the corner that the two children had disappeared around. He was in no mood to deal with the kids acting up. All he really wanted to do was get them fed and go back home to read a little before Perry would get back.

"Dizzy!"

"Izzy!" JD couldn't help laughing as he saw Jennifer and Isabella. Sam was standing back glancing anxiously at his father and Jack, waiting to see what would happen. JD knew the boy would run as fast as he could to get behind Carla if he gave any hint that the boy would be in trouble. Internally, JD knew he appreciated that the boy had such a great mother figure in his life, but he hated the fact that she would get involved if he was trying to discipline the boy.

"Bambi, how you doing?" Carla offered a sympathetic smile to which JD merely shrugged. "I know we're not Perry, but it has been a long time since the three of us did something together without the kids. It'll be fun, I promise." JD nodded as he lifted Sam into his arms, the boy's arms sliding around his neck. Carla smiled at the scene. JD, in his street clothes, with the five year old black haired, blue eyed boy resting his head against his father's cheek while Jack stood on the other side of JD smiling up at Sam. He looked so perfect and grown up in the paternal stance. She could hardly believe how well the man had taken to fatherhood.

"V-bear, you think you could take Izzy for me?" Turk asked as he looked down at his daughter whispering away with Jennifer. He knew there would be no way to separate the girls now that they had seen each other.

"Yeah, no probs." JD kissed Sam's head as he nodded at Turk and Carla. "K, kiddos, how bout we go get some Panda express." JD grinned as Jack, Jennifer and Isabella cheered with the idea. Izzy paused and looked back at her parents.

"Can I go with Uncle JD, Daddy?" Carla and JD laughed as Izzy batted her lashes at her father, knowing exactly how to get him to agree with her questions. Turk grinned and knelt down, opening his arms for a hug. "YAY! I have the bestest daddy!" Izzy stated as she leapt into her father's embrace.

"Ok, let's get a move on." JD stated as he rubbed the top of Jack's head.

"Dad, don't mess with the do." Jack hissed as he looked up at JD with a look that he had to have inherited from Perry. Carla couldn't help herself as she started to laugh earning an odd look from Turk and JD.

"Oh, I am sorry, JD." Carla snickered as she tried to hold back the laughter. "But, I want to see Perry's reaction to his son saying such a you phrase." JD chuckled as Jack rolled his eyes.

"Tia Carla," Jack groaned as he looked up at her from his place next to JD. "I will never be like Dad or Pops when it comes to my hair."

"Ok, I really would love to stay in this God forsaken corner of Kelso's circus, but I need to go feed the four horsemen of the apocolyse," Sam pursed his lips as he looked at JD's face.

"But, Dad," JD stopped Sam with a quick jerk of his head.

"Just call when you guys are off." JD looked down at the two girls smiling up at him. "Tonight won't be a good night for her to stay over." Turk avoided the glare he got from Carla as JD walked away.

"Whatever Perry's doing better be worth it." Carla stated, her accent becoming heavy as she watched her daughter walk off giggling with her friends.

"Hey, Newbie," Perry whispered as he lifted JD's chin with his hand, bringing his gaze to meet the blue eyes that he'd fallen so in love with. They were filled with so much disappointment and Perry hated that he was the one who had put that emotion in them. "Oh, c'mon, Marissa, don't you have a tantrum now. You go have fun in New York and I'll hold down the fort while you're," Perry felt the lips brush against his own and stopped mid rant to grin against them.

"Five years and that still stops your rants." JD grinned at Perry.

"It's going to be quiet without you." Perry stated as he leaned his forehead against his lover's. His grip tightened on JD's duffle bag as he saw the spark of knowledge in JD's eyes, knowing the man understood what he had meant to say.

"I'll be back the day after tomorrow." JD replied as he caught sight of Elliot holding onto Izzy as Turk and Carla started to approach him and Perry.

"You know we'll have more, right Newbie?" Perry hesitated as he stared hard into the emotional blue eyes. Nodding in response, JD leaned in to hug Perry, his hand slipping down the muscled arm to the duffle bag strap. Perry pressed his lips tenderly to JD's forehead before he allowed the duffle bag to exchange hands.

"Bye, Dad." Sam sniffled as he clung to one leg and Jennifer the other. JD smiled at the two kids and looked at Perry for some assistance.

"Hey, guys, I'll only be gone for a couple of days." He watched as Perry slowly pulled them towards his own chest as JD knelt to place a kiss on both their heads. Glancing at Jack he nodded curtly. "I expect you to watch them, Jack." Jack nodded as he quickly leaned in to hug JD's waist, smiling as the older man ruffled his hair.

"Yo, J-Dog, you ready?" JD nodded as he turned and followed Turk and Carla towards their terminal, glancing back only once to see Perry crouched down trying to soothe the tears that were rolling down Jennifer and Sam's faces, but his eyes were focused on JD. Jack was waving sadly, and JD quickly returned it before they rounded the corner.
