For most of the afternoon, Connor and I watched Lexi and Tyler while Harry went to find some of his friends. He seemed a little unsure about leaving them, which hey, I understood probably better than anyone. Hell when Connor was first born I wouldn't let my closest friends carry him around the hotel much less let him out of my sight. The kids

After leavin' Kennedy with Grace down in the hatch I tried to get some sleep. I swear to God I did. I found a little private corner on one of the bluffs and laid down. I wasn't really worried about being at the edge of the jungle anymore. If they wanted me dead I would have a bullethole through my neck right now and if they wanted me captured they would have never let me leave during Gracie's rescue. I didn't know what they wanted other than the fragments I was gettin' from all over the place

I nodded when she said she couldn't sleep. Yeah, I doubt I could if either if I tried. Except, lucky for me, I didn't need it as much as she did. Thinking about it now, I honestly couldn't remember the last time I did lay down and try to sleep. Could've been when we were in that damn room for all I know. "Don't think I could if I tried

Thanks. You're welcome. That really should be the end of it right? See ya later. So why were we still standin' here? There's nothin' really else to talk about and I didn't much care if he insisted otherwise. So my dad was his boss or whatever. That wasn't my problem. Probably. I don't know. I never knew who my dad was and I can't lie and say that I never wondered but I have to say the question of what he was had never entered my mind until today. Lucky me

If Connor or anyone else I loved had been kidnapped by the scientists I'd probaby be trying a little harder to get information out of them about what had happened. Though, of course, I understood completely wanting to keep it to yourself. That's pretty much what the three of us were doing from the three days we were trapped inside that room. I didn't blame Grace for wanting to keep it to herself no matter how frustrating it might be. I wasn't sure if it even made as big of a difference now though. Weren't they all gone from the building when we left anyway

Uncle Connor and Aunt Nicole were so much fun, but they kept giving each other funny looks when they thought me and Lexi weren't looking. I didn't know why, but I was just having so much fun that I forgot about that.

I didn't know where Mommy and Daddy went, but I wanted to show them the neat sandcastle I built! Most of it was knocked down and I wasn't able to rebuild it good. I would ask Mommy and Daddy to help me. They both make really really good ones.

Lexi waved and I looked up and saw Mommy, Daddy, and Angel walking to us. Smiling at them I ran over as fast as I could but Lexi was faster and beat me there. I stopped in front of Daddy, looking at him. Why did he look sad? I tugged on his hand and pointed to where we'd been playing. "Daddy, will you help me build a big castle? Mine got knocked down."

Mommy and Daddy were here! I was having lots of fun with Connor and Nicole but I wanted Mommy to come back. Even though she doesn't let us play in the water like Daddy does and Tyler can't play tag as good as me but Connor plays it good too. Just not as good as me. I'm the best

They were so big and I could tell from looking at Connor and Nicole that they had no idea what happened. I couldn't ask them now anyway because it wasn't a good idea to discuss it in front of the kids.

"Thanks for watching them. Why don't you two take a break and get some rest?"

Turning my attention back to the kids, I smiled at my son when he asked me if I would help him build a sand castle with him. "Of course, kiddo, let's get on it." I stood up just as my daughter ran over and gave me a pout. No fair using that on me.

I bent down and hauled her up so that she was resting on my hip. "Ok princess, let's help your brother build a big sandcastle and then we can go swimming if you want."

I walked them both over to a good spot in the sand that was close enough to the water to help mold the sand into a castle that wouldn't fall apart. Once I had them both settled in the sand next to me, I looked over at Angel and Faith.

"You guys planning to help? We need some water to make the sand more firm."

[mr_angel]

"Can too make good ones, but YOU knocked it over when you were playing tag with Connor." Tyler blurted out at his sister who had moved to look at me and seemed to notice how tall I was. When was the last time I'd been around kids their age? I honestly couldn't remember. So being overwelmed was an understatement.

The kids wanted to make sandcastles and play with their father and as they started walking towards the water, I shook my head a little and glanced at Faith. Wow. Yeah, they wanted me to show them how to do 'this', but 'this' was all new to me too.

I nodded to both Connor and Nicole. "Yeah, you both should probably rest after watching them and running around." Smiling at Connor, I raised a brow at him. "Worn out?" Nicole nodded at the rest suggestion and after telling Harry, the kids, and the rest of us bye she started walking back down the beach.

Glancing to Faith again, we both started walking towards the three of them and I sat down next to Lexi. "You think you can build a better castle than your Daddy too?"
