A/n: Its the Friday night before a long weekend here in Australia. So I thought I would post a new chapter now.

Chapter 8:

The month flew by and before either of them knew it, it was the night before Scotty had to leave for Virginia. After Lilly and Scotty tucked the kids into bed they retired to their own room.

Lilly looped her arms around his neck and rose up on her tiptoes and kissed his lips "I'm gonna miss you"

Scotty grinned and gripped her hips "I'm gonna miss you too, but I'm only gone for three weeks"

Lilly frowned "I know, but still….I am gonna miss you sleeping right beside me"

He nodded "me too" Scotty lifted her up in his arms and lowered her down on the bed

Lilly ran her fingers through his hair "I love you, so much"

"I love you too baby'

He kissed her, breathing her in deeply, his hands sliding down her sides and up under her shirt.

"I was doing some calculations" Lilly murmured between kisses "you're gonna be away when I am next ovulating"

"Maybe you should come down on weekend, leave the kids with Ma"

Lilly chuckled "you really want your mother to know that we are having a dirty weekend in Virginia"

"We have three kids Querida; I think she knows that we have sex" Lilly giggled "we could try now" Scotty whispered, pressing a kiss to the side of her neck.

"We could" Lilly agreed

"Think of it as a going away party"

Lilly kissed his lips "well if it's a party…." Lilly slid out from underneath him and headed over to the wardrobe.

"Lil, what are you doin'" Scotty asked, rolling over on his back and watching her dig through her clothes.

"Uh-huh" Lilly cried out as she found what she was looking for.

She held out a lacy purple negligee "I was gonna say if it's a party, I should get dressed up" Scotty grinned as Lilly walked into the bathroom.

"Lil, get out here"

"Be patient" she called back and Scotty chuckled again, leaning his head back against his hands.

The bathroom door finally opened and Scotty angled his head to look in her direction, his jaw fell open as he took her in.

Dear god she looked gorgeous, he hadn't seen her in that negligee since the night he bought it for her, three years ago on Valentine's Day. The purple lace and matching silk underwear suited her so well it was if made just for her.

"Wow Lil, you look….." he trailed off and slowly sat up.

Lilly giggled "I'm surprised it still fits, I think I've put on weight"

Scotty shook his head "no baby, you're as beautiful as the day I met you" He got out of bed and walked over to her, completely mesmerized by just how sexy and gorgeous she looked.

He lifted his hand slowly, wanting to take his time with her. His fingers gently pushed aside the strap of the garment and as it fell off her shoulder, he pressed his lips to her skin. He moved his other hand to her hip and pulled her against him as Lilly's nimble fingers undid the buttons on his dress shirt.

The striped shirt fell to the floor as Scotty began to walk backwards, taking her with him. When his knees hit the bed, he fell backwards and Lilly tumbled on top of him.

She sat up, straddling him, as her fingers traced over his muscular chest. Scotty licked his lips and his hands found her hips.

"You look damn good in that" Scotty whispered "'course you look damn good out of it too"

Lilly giggled as her hands slid down his stomach to undo the buckle of his pants and Scotty felt her hands brush against his erection. He hissed in pleasure and started to tug her purple negligee over her head and threw it to the floor, now all that she was wearing was those satin panties; that's it he had to have her now.

He sat up, so his face was level with hers. His hands slid up her waist and cupped her breasts in his palms. Lilly giggled and slid her arms around his neck "Kiss me"

Scotty nodded and pressed a kiss to her lips, his tongue scrapped the roof of her mouth as he tried to taste all of her.

Lilly's hands rested on each side of his face, sliding up to tangle in his hair.

When he fell back against the pillows, he took her with him, rolling them both over so he was on top.

"So you like your present then?"

Scotty grinned as he pushed down his pants and boxers "best present I ever got baby"

In a flash her underwear was gone too and Scotty threw the sheet over both of them as he made love to his wife, all night.

After dropping Scotty off at the airport and the kids over at Rosa's, Lilly headed into work. Kat greeted her at the elevator, a large cup of coffee in hand. "Thought you could use this" Kat said as she proffered her colleague the steaming mug.

"Thanks" Lilly replied as she took the cup and took a grateful sip.

"Scotty get away ok?" Kat asked

Lilly nodded "once I pried Laura away from his leg, she didn't want him to go"

"Oh, poor little thing"

Lilly nodded and opened her locker one handed and slid in her gun "The boys were a little upset but Laura wouldn't stop crying. I tried to comfort her, but she was still upset when I dropped her off at Rosa's. Scotty said he'd call her tonight so I hope that she cheers up"

"Veronica felt the same way when I had to travelled for Narcotics, felt so guilty leaving her when she was crying"

Lilly and Kat walked over to their cluster of desks "Scotty sent me a text before the plane took off he said that he felt really bad"

Kat shrugged "He's only gone for a few weeks then he'll be back"

Lilly sighed "yeah, the kids aren't the only ones that will miss him" Lilly confessed "we haven't been away from each other since we started dating"

Kat grinned "I bet you'll miss him" she replied teasingly

Lilly rolled her eyes and sank down in her chair, pulling a case file towards her.

Scotty's plane touched down and he shouldered his duffle bag, getting jostled by the other passengers as he made his way off the plane. When he made it into the terminal, he fished out his cell phone from his pocket and dialled his mother's number so he could talk to his daughter.

She was so upset about him leaving this morning, that she had grabbed his leg and refused to let go. When Lilly had finally managed to pry their daughters grip from his pants, she had started to cry and he could hear her screaming for him as he walked down the gangway to the plane, it tore his heart out.

Hearing his daughter's sunny voice and talking to her for a few moments, it made her and him feel better.

He grabbed a cab and headed over to Quantico to begin his training and driving through the gates of the Marine Corps base that the headquarters was situated on, he felt as nervous as he did when he first entered the police academy.

When he signed in at the reception desk, he was given a key for his dormitory room and was handed a class schedule.

"Your rooms down the hall and to the right Detective Valens, room 454"

"Thanks" Scotty replied as he picked up his bag again and walked down the hallway towards his dormitory.

He slid the key in the lock, only to find that the door was already unlocked and once he opened it he found that he was not the only one assigned this particular dorm room. An African-American man was sitting on one of the beds in the room, unpacking his clothes in the set of drawers beside him.

"Oh hey" Scotty said as he dropped his bag on the single bed against the far wall.

"Hey, my name is Alex Price. I'm a detective from the 12th in New York"

Scotty shook his hand "Scotty Valens from West detectives in Philly"

"Great to meet you" Alex replied "I was starting to think I was gonna be in here on my own"

Scotty chuckled "sorry"

"No problem, at least I'll have someone to talk to" Alex added as he started to take out some picture frames from his bag and placed them on the dresser.

Scotty caught sight of the family photo, showing Alex, a woman Scotty assumed was Alex's wife and two teenage boys.

"Your family?" Scotty asked, gesturing to the photo with a nod of his head

Alex picked it up and grinned a wide smile spreading across his face "Yeah, my wife Lisa and my twin boy Martin and David"

Scotty took out a photo from his bag and showed it to his roommate "Damn, your wife is hot"

Scotty chuckled "Her name is Lilly and those are my triplets, Matthew, James and Laura"

"Cute kids, how old?"

"7, they'll be 8 next month"

The two new roommates continued to chat and by the end of the evening, it was if they were old friends.

Lilly sighed and rubbed her eyes, taking another swig of her ice water. It was nearing midnight but she still had a mountain of paperwork to do, she had fallen behind on her case summaries and now she was regretting it. Her cell phone rang and she quickly answered it without checking the caller ID, it had taken nearly an hour to convince Laura to go to bed (Laura had wanted to sleep in Lilly's bed with her) and she really didn't want her to wake up.

"Rush" she answered with a sigh

"You seem bored baby, wish I was there to entertain you" Scotty whispered

Lilly chuckled "I wish you were here too, how was your first day?"

Scotty groaned "a class on federal law, boring as hell"

Lilly chuckled "It sounds boring"

"How was your day?"

Lilly smiled "Paperwork, paperwork and more paperwork" Lilly replied "feel more like a secretary, than a cop"

"Secretary huh?"

Lilly rolled her eyes "get your mind out of the gutter Scotty" she scolded and he chuckled.

"I miss you already"

Lilly smiled "I miss you too, I've been thinking about your offer to come down and visit you"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah, thinking of coming down next weekend. You can show me around"

"If we leave your hotel room"

Lilly giggled again "sounds like a plan"

Scotty sighed "I better go baby, I have to get some sleep. Got an early class tomorrow, it's like being back in school"

"Oh, ok"

"I'll call tomorrow night and talk to the kids, I love you and give the kids a big hug and a kiss from me"

"I will, I love you too"

She hung up the phone and sighed again.

She didn't realise just how much she missed him until he talked to him, the next few weeks was going to be tough.
