"I'll see ya soon, Cuz." Chance says as he hugs Austin bye. He shakes Tim's hand and then climbs into his helicopter.

"BE CAREFUL!!" Austin yells and waves as Chance starts the engine.

They back away and shield their eyes from the blowing sand as the helicopter begins to lift from the beach.

Chance had helped them tote all the cases of supplies to the cave before he had to leave.

They watch until the helicopter was out of sight.

Tim quickly turns around and grabs Austin, swinging him around.

Austin squeals and throws his arms around Tim's neck.

"I still can't believe you came back." Tim says before crashing his lips to Austin's.

After breaking the kiss they place their foreheads together trying to catch their breath.

"I thought I would never see you again." Tim says softly.

"I decided on the way home that I was coming back." Austin smiles. "I just had some things to take care of."

"Did you see my mom?" Tim asks.

"Mhmm, and your sister. And they both know that you're alive and well." Austin grins.

Tim blinks back the tears as he glances out across the ocean.

"She sent a message." Austin says as he reaches up and wipes a tear that had escaped from Tim's eyes.

"She sent me a letter?" Tim sniffed and rubbed his eyes.

"No, something better." Austin says, taking Tim by the hand and leading him back to the cave.

They walk inside they cave and Austin goes to one of the suitcases that he had brought with him. He reaches inside and pulls out a video camera and holds it up with a huge smile.

"A VIDEO CAMERA??" Tim shouts happily. "You took a video of my mom?"

"And your sister." Austin grins sitting down on a rock and patting the spot beside him.

Tim sit down and Austin turned on the video and handed it to Tim.

Austin watches Tim as he watches his mom and sister talk to him. They were both crying. Happy to know he was alive but still missing him.

Tears roll down Tim's cheek as he watches. When the video ends, Tim bows his head covering his eyes with his hands. His shoulders shook as he sob.

Austin reaches up and rubs Tim on the back of the head. Keeping silent to give Tim his moment.

"Thank you." Tim whispers.

"It gets even better." Austin says softly and kisses Tim on the side of the head. "Chance and I have made several plans. You and your mom are going to be able to send videos back and forth to each other. Chance will deliver them personally to your mom."

"Are you kidding me?" Tim smiles through his tears.

"I kid you not, Baby. And" Austin says as he brushes back Tim's hair and kisses his forehead. "If things fall into place, we might have company."

Tim opens his mouth to say something but is unable to form any words.

"Chance may be flying your mom and sister over for a visit real soon." Austin smiles.

"Oh my, God." Tim cries as he grabs Austin into a bone crushing hug. "How can I ever thank you enough. I love you so much."

"You just did, Sweetheart." Austin hugs him tightly. "Now, I don't want any more tears. We've got things to celebrate."

Austin wipes Tim's tears then reaches into the cooler and grabs a couple of beers. He hands Tim a beer and then grabs a bag of potato chips out of one of the boxes he had brought.

Austin walks over and sits down on the blanket and motions for Tim to join him. 

"Nothing like beer, chips and snuggling with the one you love." Austin giggles.

Tim chuckles as he sits down beside Austin and kisses him on the cheek.

"You know what we need?" Austin asks as he feeds Tim a potato chip.

"Mmmm." Tim hums closing his eyes enjoying the flavor of the chip he was eating. "D*mn that tastes good."

Austin giggles, holding the bag up so Tim could get more.

"What do we need?" Tim saks as he popped a chip into his mouth.

"Furniture." Austin grins.

"Furniture?" Tim chuckles.

"Yea, I got it all figured out. Of course we can't have a regular couch because of hurricanes. But what about patio furniture? Something lightweight that we could easily move to a different area of the cave when a hurricane comes." Austin says.

"That could work, I guess." Tim says with a shrug.

"Oh and we have to have a bed. We could put it on the other side of that big rock where we rode out the hurricane. Oh, oh, and we could fix a tarp to lower down to keep the sand from blowing in own us." Austin grins with a nod.

"Ooo, can I get a television too?" Tim smirks.

Austin laughs and smacks Tim on the arm. "I'm being totally serious."

"I know you are, Angel. But who's going to pay for all this. I'm kinda unemployed." Tim says as he finishes his beer.

"I have you know, I have a checking account with money in it." Austin giggles.

Tim smiles as he lays down on the blanket. Crossing his legs and placing his hands behind his head. "So, are you rich?"

"Pffft, not by a long shot but I wasn't going hungry either." Austin smiles as his eyes quickly scan over Tim's body. "You better hope those bruises around your neck goes away before your mom comes for a visit."

"I hear ya. Please don't mention anything about it to her. She'd worry herself sick." Tim says.

"I won't." Austin says as he lays down beside Tim, laying his head on his lover's chest. Tim moves one of his arms and wraps it around Austin's shoulders. "I don't know what I would have done if I had come back and found you hanging from a tree."

"Let's not talk about it, Okay?" Tim says, hugging Austin closer, kissing him on the forehead.

"You know what I wanna do?" Austin asks as he sits up and crawls over on top of Tim, sitting down on his hips.

"What might that be?" Tim asks with a smile as he runs his hands up and down Austin's outer thighs.

"This." Austin whispers as he slides his hands up Tim's chest as he leans over to connect their lips into a hungry kiss.

"God, I've missed you." Tim whispers into the kiss.

"Show me how much." Austin whispers near Tim's ear.
