"You still mad at me?" Tim asks as they follow behind Olena and Austin on their way back home.

"What if I am?" Adam says as he looks around at his husband with raised brows.

"I don't know." Tim says with a shrug of his shoulders. "I guess you'll just be mad. BUT, might I remind you that YOU were the one that provoked the lovemaking last night."

"I know." Adam says as he looks out the side window.

"Are you regretting it?" Tim asks.

"What? No! I loved every minute of it." Adam says as he reaches out and takes Tim by the hand.

"Okay? I'm confused. Then why are you mad at me?" Tim asks.

"I'm not really mad. Maybe embarrassed. I don't know." Adam says with a shrug. "You didn't have to announce to Kelsey that we had sex last night."

"Well, it's not like she couldn't tell." Tim says with a smile. "Honey, everyone knows how I am. I'm like an open book. They expect things like that from me. I've always ...."

"Like running your mouth." Adam says with a raised brow.

"If that's how you see it. I like to think I brag about what I have. I have you and we have an amazing sex life. We've been married a while now and it still feels like we're on our honeymoon."

"You're making it very hard to be mad at you." Adam says with a smile.

"Do you still hate me?" Tim asks with a pout.

"Awww, Swamp Rat, I could never hate you." Adam says as he leans over kissing his husband on the cheek. "I love you so much. I'm sorry for even joking about hating you."

"And I'm sorry if I embarrassed you." Tim says as he extends his hand. "Friends?"

"Lovers." Adam whispers next to his ear. He takes Tim's extended hand and turns it to kiss the back of it.

"How you feeling, Freckles?" Tim asks as he walks up to Olena's car to help his little brother out.

"Tired, weak and my leg is killing me." Austin groans as he gets out of the car. Olena hands him his crutches.

"Well, Doc said that you'd probably hurt for a few days. So that's to be expected." Tim says as he lays his hand on Austin's back to help him keep his balance on the crutches.

"Where's Bailey?" Austin asks as they walk into the house.

"Jenika has her. She's supposed to bring her home later." Olena answers as she turns down the covers of their bed.

Tim helps him get his jeans off so that he would be more comfortable.

"This sucks." Austin moans as he lays down. "We should be out running traps."

"You won't be running any for a few days." Tim smiles. "By the way, I talked to Bob earlier. I'm going to go with him on a few gator hunts to kinda refresh my memory on it."

"So. We're really going to do it?" Austin asks with a smile as Olena hands him his pain medicine.

"Of course. We're going broke running traps." Tim chuckles lightly.

(Later that evening)

Tim and Adam are in the kitchen fixing supper. Olena was feeding Bailey in the living room when there is a knock on the door.

"Come in." Olena calls out as she didn't want to disturb feeding Bailey.

The door opens and Chance peeks in.

"You always just invite people in like that." Chance smiles as he stoops down to pet Satchmo.

"Why not? The only people that come to see us is family." Olena giggles as she lays the baby into the bassinet.

"I just stopped by to check on the patient." Chance smiles.

"He's resting. He's been asleep all evening." Olena says as she leads him into the kitchen where Tim and Adam were.

"Dang! It smells good in here." Chance chuckles as he sees Tim busy at the stove and Adam was sitting on the counter. "Working hard, Adam."

"Tim's the cook, not me." Adam smiles.

"Care to stay for supper? We have plenty." Tim says as he glances over his shoulder.

"Sure, if you don't mind. It really looks good." Chance says as he steals a shrimp from the plate.

As Tim finished cooking the meal, Olena fixed her and Austin a plate. Chance followed her into their bedroom to check on the younger brother. He checked the wound, cleaned it and re-bandaged it. He also checked his temperature and blood pressure.

"Well, is he going to live?" Tim chuckles as he sets the table.

"Yep, looks that way." Chance laughs.

"Have a seat, Doc." Tim says. "What would you like to drink?"

"Tea is fine." Chance says as he sits down at the table.

Adam fixes them all a glass of tea and they settle down to eat.

"This is delicious, Tim." Chance says. "Jambalaya, right? Kelsey makes it too."

"Where do you think I learned how to cook?" Tim chuckles as he takes a sip of his tea. "Austin and I were starving to death. Austin can't boil water without scorching it."

They fall into a comfortable silence as they finish eating. Tim and Adam clear the table and sit back down to enjoy a few beers with their guest.

"So, where's Avi?" Tim asks as he pops open a beer.

"Uh, we're not together anymore." Chance answers as he takes a sip of his beer.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Chance." Adam says.

"No, it's okay. It was a friendly breakup." Chance smiles.

"What happened? If you don't mind me asking?" Tim asks.

"No, I don't mind. Avi got a job offer in L.A., one that he would have been stupid to turn down. It was a great opportunity for him. We talked and I told him to go for it. So he's gone back to New Orleans to pack. We're both okay. He's excited and I'm excited for him." Chance says, giving an honest smile. 

"Well, I'm glad that it wasn't a bad breakup." Tim comments.

"No, it wasn't. Luckily it hadn't really got too serious yet for either of us." Chance nods.

"Excuse me." Tim says as their house phone begins to ring. He gets up and heads to the living room.

"You know, I love living here but not being able to have a cell phone sucks." Chance laughs.

"You telling me? It took a lot of getting used to." Adam chuckles.

"Chance? It's Rob. He needs to speak to you." Tim says as he re-enters the kitchen.

"Oh, Okay." Chance says getting up from the table.

A few minutes later Chance returns with a solemn look on his face.

"Is everything alright?" Tim asks.

"Rob and Kelsey are going to have to leave town for a few days. He just got a call from his sister that their grandmother passed away." Chance tells them. 

"Oh. That's terrible." Adam says.

"I think he said that his sister was taking care of their grandmother in California." Chance says as he finishes his beer.

"Yeah." Tim nods with a smile. "Sami."
