"You better not," he told her.  "If you do, I'm coming after you, no matter
where it is you go."

Julia held him close "Yup, Mister Rayne, I love you and you're stuck with
me."

And nothing Megan Torrence or anyone or thing else was going to change that.

Derek held her closely until she fell asleep and it wasn't long after that
that he fell asleep.  The day had been completely exhausting and though it
was still early, Derek did not awake until late in the evening.  Julia was
still snoozing beside him.

He felt rather groggy, but could no longer stay in bed.  He did need to
check on his team and...he needed to eat, immediately.  In fact he couldn't
remember ever being so hungry.  The oddest part though was what it was he
wanted to eat.

Derek slipped out of bed and headed downstairs, he would get a snack and
check on things, then perhaps Julia would be awake and they oculd have
dinner.  Reaching hte kitchen, he began to search around the refrigerator
until he found what he was looking for.  Then, he scoured the cabinets as
well and sat down.  He glanced over the evening paper as he ate green olives
out of the jar and some of Nick's cheese puffs.  A combination he would
normally avoid.
