"I....I thought it would make you... Uncomfortable..." Skul mutters, as Jack frowns. "Why? I love you daddy! I'm glad I look like you!" He giggles, making Skul tilt his head. He hugs Jack harder, as we all share happy glances. That was adorable.

I rolled over in the bed, fallin ono the ground. I grumble, rolling onto my back. I hear a chuckle as a skeleton sits on my stomach. I groan, pouting. "Did you have a nice trip?" He laughs, as I scowl at him. "No. Get off me." I demand, but try and hold back the grin. "I don't think I want to." He states, crossing his arms. "At least let me get dressed!" I laugh, noticing the curtains were open. "Nah, I quite like you like this." He states, shrugging. I roll my eyes, pushing him off. He grunts, pulling me on top of him. "You know I love you Mrs Pleasant" he murmurs, stroking my cheek. "And I love you too Mr Pleasant. Until The End." I replied,
beaming. "Until The end." He replies, pressing his teeth to mine.

"Val! We're landing!" Skul whispers, shaking me awake. I groan, snuggling into his side. He sighs, hugging me closer. "Come on love, you need to get up..."" He murmurs, making me smile. I sigh in defeat and sit up. I gaze out of the window noticing that were landing on the air strip. I grip skuls hand, squeezing it. The plane slowly eases onto the air strip, a few bumps along the way, as it crawls to a stop. As we slowly get off, I can see Jack with Tanith and ghastly in the waiting room, Jack smiling and pointing at us. We hold hands, slowly making our way towards them. As soon as the doors open, I find Jack sprinting towards us. He launches into my arms, hugging me tightly. "Mummy! Daddy!" He squeals, reaching for Skul now. Skul takes him into his arms, his facade smiling. "Hey buddy! Did you have fun?" He smiles, as Jack nods excitedly. "We had SMORES!" He squeals, attracting off looks from by passers. Tanith and ghastly walk up to us, hand in hand. "Hey sis! How was it?" She asks grinning, while wiggling her eyes brows. Ghastly frowns, but smiles at me. "It was really beautiful! I've never been to Rio before!" I grinned, turning to see Skul and Jack talking away. "I think he missed Jack..." I laugh, whispering into taniths and Vals ears. They chuckle, as Skul puts Jack down.
