Should I go see if we can rent a U-haul or something like that?

[He pulled her into an embrace.] Charleigh, it's alright.

[She leaned into him and closed her eyes.] We're leaving a lot behind, you know.

[He sighed, running his hands along her back.] I do. But I have everything that's important.

[She trembled when he ran his hand down her back and pressed against him some more.] I've got some money, so we can buy new stuff.

[He smiled when she trembled, placing a kiss on her shoulder.] I've got some of my own, don't worry about it. Do you have all of your things?

[She kissed his neck.] Yep, I've got everything.

[It was his turn to shiver a little.] We should get some rest before heading off then.

Sixteen hours being separated from you doesn't sound all that ideal to me.

I'll be right behind you, only a few yards away.

Still not the same.

I know. But as much as it pains me to say it, there will be times when we can't be attached at the hip.

You know -- I can fix that.

[raises a brow] Really now?

I'll have to look around for my needle and thread.

That doesn't sound like it would feel very good.

[She laughed and buried her face against his neck before nibbling on it playfully.]

[He laughed and squirmed a little, as it tickled.] Peter will be happy that we're coming earlier. And possibly staying longer...I can already picture you two running around in the back yard.

Does he look like you? [She slowly ran her hands down his back, feeling for any tight spots and attempted to work them out a little.]

[Tight spots? Yeah. There were a few of those. His eyes squinted shut and he grunted, arching his back some when she hit them.] A little. He looks a little more like our dad than I do.

Does that mean you look more like your mom? [She pushed him against the bed so he was playing on his stomach. She then sat on his butt to start working them out.]

[He stumbled a little, not really expecting it, but relaxed. He chuckled some when she sat on his butt and sighed.] Yes. Like...a male version.

A male clone, huh? [She continued to massage his back. Hopefully it would help him sleep and he wouldn't have to worry about anything.]

I looked a lot like my brother John. He was a mix between both Ma and Pa, but I looked almost like him.

Something like that. [He was still a little tense, but he relaxed as time went on, unaware of her ingenious idea.] How many brothers did you have?

Five older. I was just a chance of luck. Ma had no idea she was pregnant with me.
