********


The Chris Rupp drama was over. The Fousts were leaving Minnesota, hoping to never return. Tim had wanted so badly to kick Chris's ass before leaving but just knowing they were done with him completely was good enough for him. Adam's inheritance was being transferred from the First State Bank of Minneapolis to The Heritage Bank in Thibideau to their account. It would more than likely be in their account before they could even get home.

"Are you alright?" Adam asks softly as he sees Tim lay his head back on the plane seat and closes his eyes. "You're not getting another headache are you?"

"Naw, Babe, I'm fine. Just tired. It's been a long couple of days." Tim answers.

"Yes, it has been." Adam replies as he lays his head on his husband's shoulder. "But it's all over and we'll be home in a few hours."

"Not soon enough for me." Tim chuckles lightly.

"You know that this is life changing for us, right?" Adam says as he stares at the seats in front of them.

"Yeah, I still can't wrap my mind around it though." Tim says. "Austin and I have struggled our entire lives. Even while our mom was still alive."

"Well, you guys don't have to struggle anymore." Adam says as he gently runs his fingers up and down the brunette's arm.

Tim nods but doesn't answer. He had already decided to keep their lives as simple as possible.

After a few minutes of silence, Adam thought now was a good time to ask Tim his opinion on something that he had been wanting to do for some time.

"Are you still awake?" Adam asks quietly.

"Mmhmm." Tim answers.

"Uhhh.. would you be too upset if I were to get my hair cut?" Adam asks nervously.

Tim slowly opens his eyes and looks down at his husband.

'Oh, shit.' Adam mouths as he feels his husband's movement.

"But why? Why would you want to get it cut?" Tim asks.

"Because it's too hot. Honey, I'm not used to the heat and humidity of the swamps like you are. Plus, I just get tired of messing with it." Adam says as he looks up meeting his lover's eyes. "I don't know, I feel as if it's a new beginning for us, you know? I just want to try something different as we move on with our new lives."

Tim hated it when Adam gives him that pleading look. Absolutely HATED it. He could never say 'no' to those pleading blue eyes.

"As long as I've known you, you have always had long hair." Tim says. "If you did get it cut, it would definitely take some getting used to."

"Would you still love me?" Adam asks, giving his husband a sad puppy dog look.

'Oh, F*CK! That d*mn puppy dog look.' Tim's mind screams as he stares into the blonde's eyes. 'Speak, Dumbass!'

"What kind of silly question is that? Of course, I will always love you even if you shaved your head." Tim says before adding with a chuckle, "Just don't go that far."

"So you don't care?" Adam asks with a relieved smile.

"I love your long hair BUT I also love seeing you happy. If cutting your hair is what you want, then go for it." Tim says with a smile. "But don't be offended if I look at you strangely at first." He smirks.

"I won't." Adam giggles as he kisses his husband's cheek. "Have you ever thought about cutting your hair?"

"Hell no." Tim laughs as he leans his head back and closes his eyes. "Not with these ears."

"Good." Adam laughs as he lays his head back down on his lover's shoulder. He smiles to himself. That went well. The blonde hopes that when he brings up the idea of building a new home that it will go just as smooth. At least he'll have Austin backing him. How can Tim say 'no' to the two most important people in his life, right?

~~

As their plane landed at the New Orleans National Airport, Austin and Olena were waiting on them at the terminal. Jenika had so graciously offered to babysit so they could make the trip to New Orleans to pick up Austin's brother and brother-in-law without an irritable little girl in the car.

The Fousts kept everything that went on in Minnesota a secret from Austin and his girlfriend. All Tim would tell his brother when he called was that he would explain everything when they got home. Leaving Austin to believe that things did not go well.

"There they are." Austin points.

"Uh, did they leave with that much luggage?" Olena chuckles.

"I don't think so." Austin replies as they hurry over to greet the couple and help them with all their suitcases.

"How's it going, Freckles?" Tim asks as he hugs his little brother.

They had only been gone a few days but the way they acted, one would think it had been months or even years. That's just how close the brothers were.

"It's been boring with you guys gone." Austin chuckles as he hugs his big brother.

"Where did all this luggage come from?" Olena asks as she lightens Adam's load.

"That's the luggage from my last trip that Chris held hostage." Adam smiles as he shakes his arm to get the circulation pumping again.

"So when do you plan on telling us what happened?" Austin says, taking a suitcase from Tim.

"Why don't we go get something to eat and we'll fill you in at the restaurant." Tim says as they walk to the exit. "I'm about to starve."

"Just, please, tell me that you got to kick his ass." Austin says.

~~

"Well? The suspense is killing me." Austin says after the waitress delivers their food.

Tim gives his husband a quick glance before sighing heavily. The couple tried their best to keep a solemn look on their faces.

"Aww, naw." Austin says as he felt his heart sink to his stomach. Tim and Adam had had their hopes up so high when they left. His heart broke for them as he sees the sadness in their eyes.

"Well..." Tim starts as he pokes at the ice in his tea. "I have some good news and I have some bad news."

"Oh, sh*t." Austin moans while staring down at his plate as he played with his food.

Adam quickly drops his head, biting his bottom lip trying not to smile. He had no idea where Tim was heading with this.

"The bad news is...." Tim raises his eyes to look at his little brother. Shoulders slumped, sadness plastered all over his face. "I never got the chance to kick Chris's ass."

Austin quickly looks up from his plate to see the smirk on his brother's face.

"The good news is... Adam got his money." Tim adds with a smile.

"ARE YOU SH*TTING ME!!??" Austin yells. "YOU ASSHOLE!!"

"SHHHHH!!" Tim, Adam and Olena hush him then start to laugh.

"You actually had me feeling sorry for you, you dickhead!" Austin says in a loud whisper.

"I know and it was awesome." Tim chuckles as he takes a sip of his tea.

"I'm so happy for you guys." Olena says as she reaches across the table and takes each Foust by the hand.

"But this just doesn't affect Tim and I. It also affects you guys." Adam smiles as he squeezes her hand.

"For real?" Austin asks with a smile growing on his face.

"That's right, little brother." Tim smiles. "No more trapping and hunting gators because we HAVE to. But because we want to because that's what we enjoy doing. No more worrying on how you're going to get the money to buy your little girl diapers."

"Oh, my God." Olena whispers as tears fill her eyes.

Austin grabs his napkin to wipe the tears that had begun to roll down his cheeks.

Seeing his little brother cry brought a lump to Tim's throat.

"Come mere." Tim says softly as he gets up from the table.

Austin quickly jumps up and meets his brother half-way, grabbing him into a hug.

Adam smiles up at the siblings when suddenly he feels arms around his neck. Olena kisses him on the cheek.

"God bless you guys." She whispers.
