Every movement or sound Tim makes while he was sleeping causes Adam's eyes to open. Only to see a peaceful expression on Tim's face as he slept.

Tim has been asleep for two hours and no sign of a nightmare. Usually he would wake up within the first thirty minutes.

Tim rolls over laying his head on his body guard's shoulder and wrapping his arm around his waist. Adam's eyes pop open once again but sees no sign of a Tim in distress. Just one that was sleeping comfortably.

Smiling, he kisses Tim's forehead. "Maybe now, we can actually start our lives together." Adam whispers before slipping off to sleep.

The next morning, Avi quietly opens the bedroom door and peeks in. Both men were cuddled up together, sleeping soundly.

He slips into the room and pulls the curtains blocking out the morning sun. He knew Adam would probably be getting up soon but Tim needs his rest. He quietly leaves the room, closing the door behind him.

Avi walks into the kitchen where Kirstie was sitting at the table sipping a cup of coffee.

"Well? How did it go for them last night?" She ask.

"Good, I think. They were both cuddled up a sleep." He answers while fixing him a cup of coffee.

"Awww. That's good. Maybe life will get back to normal now." She smiles.

"Babe, I don't think we even know what normal is." Avi says kissing her on top of the head.

"My life use to be normal." Kirstie laughs. "But that was before I met you. And then I met your crazy friends and it got even worse."

"Never a dull moment, right? But you love it." Avi says with a smirk on his face, taking her by the hand.

"Definitely not boring." She giggles, leaning over and giving him a tender kiss.

"I guess Eddie and Esther must think that we've dropped off the map." Avi laughs. "We haven't talk to them since before we left for the cabin."

"Maybe after Tim gets some rest, we can all go to the bar and surprise them." Kirstie says as she gets up to start breakfast.

"Surprise who?" Adam ask walking into the kitchen.

"Eddie and Esther." Avi answers. "How did it go last night?"

"He slept like a baby all night." Adam smiles, sitting down with a cup of coffee.

"Thank God." Kirstie says. "That was rough."

"You telling me. And I didn't know how to protect him." Adam says, looking down at his cup. "I mean, how do you protect someone from something like that."

"I'm just glad I have a friend like Kevin that likes to research things." Kirstie laughs.

"Yea, me too. Tim and I owe him big time." Adam smiles.

After Tim had slept all night and half the day, Adam thought it would be best to wake him up or his sleep habit would be totally messed up.

After getting up and eating something, he heads to take a shower.

They have made plans on going to the bar and surprising Eddie and Esther.

Tim was in such a better mood. Even though he still looked tired, his mood had changed drastically.

There was quite a crowd at the bar being a Friday night, the four was so excited to finally get out and enjoy themselves for a change.

Tim opens the door and holds it open for the others to walk in. The sound of loud music coming from the juke box, people playing pool and loud talking fills the bar.

"Well, I'll be damned." Eddie says as he looks up from the bar. "If it ain't the walking dead."

"Literally." Avi laughs.

"AVIIIII!" Esther squeals as she runs to her little brother, grabbing him into a tight hug.

"You guys had me worried." Eddie says giving Tim a brotherly type hug, then hugging Kirstie, picking her up off the floor and swinging her around.

"Put me down." She laughs, hitting him on the chest.

"So what's been going on, ya'll." Eddie says as he grabs them all a beer.

"You don't even wanna know." Tim chuckles while running a hand through his hair.

"That bad?" Eddie ask, raising a brow.

"Badder than bad." Avi states.

"It's so bad, it's almost unbelievable." Adam says.

"Hey, after dealing with everything with this guy." Eddie says lightly slapping Avi's cheek. "I'll believe anything."

"Same here." Esther adds.

"Well, it's a long story so maybe it should wait till after closing." Tim tells them.

"Hey, Timbo? Interested in a game of pool? It'll be like old times." Avi smiles. "My table is empty." Pointing to his favorite table.

"Don't know if I can, but I'll give it a shot." Tim says, standing up and picking up his beer.

"Just be careful and don't make your shoulder worse than it already is." Adam warns.

"Yes, Dear." Tim smiles.

Avi and Tim heads over to the pool table. Adam stands up to follow but Eddie catches him by the arm.

"So you and Tim?" Eddie ask with a smirk on his face.

"We're working on it." Adam winks and smiles.

"You know that little jerk has been in here a few times looking for Tim." Eddie says in a low voice to keep Tim from hearing.

"What the hell does he want?" Adam ask, clearly aggravated.

"He claims he just wants to make sure Tim is alright." Esther says.

"Tim is no concern of his any more." Adam says.

"Sorry, didn't mean to hit a nerve." Eddie gives a knowing smile.

"Eddie, I love Tim so much. He told me a few days ago that he loved me. And I will NOT let Austin screw up what Tim and I are working for." Adam says through gritted teeth.

"Hey, I'm all for it. Tim and Avi are my brothers. I want them happy." Eddie smiles. He drapes an arm around Adam's shoulder as they walk over to join the other's.

"Well, I'm going to do everything in my power to my Tim happy." Adam smiles.

"I know that. And I feel sorry for Austin if he gets in the way." Eddie says.

After racking up the balls, Avi turns to Tim and gives an evil grin. "Let's get this game started."
