This jumps ahead about four years in the series timeline. Blair is married to Ariel and Jim to Megan, so obviously they&#8217;re no longer roommates. The two couples do, however, own a duplex together so Sentinel and Guide are close if needed. Hence the shared wall.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>THUMP!!<\/p>\n<p>Ariel Sandburg sat up in bed with a start. Either the sound or the movement also woke her husband, because Blair pulled himself into a sitting position beside her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What was that?&#8221; she whispered loudly.<\/p>\n<p>There was another loud THUD against the wall, then the sound of two familiar voices. Blair listened for a moment, then chuckled and placed a comforting hand on his wife&#8217;s shoulder. &#8220;Just Jim and Megan &#8216;fighting&#8217;,&#8221; he yawned. &#8220;Think you can get back to sleep?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ariel nodded and snuggled back into the covers, her husband following. The shouting on the other side of the wall continued.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why do they have to be so loud about it?&#8221; the redhead grumbled sleepily.<\/p>\n<p>Blair shrugged and cuddled closer to her. His arms came around her waist and he pressed a kiss to the corner of her earlobe.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe Jim&#8217;s just trying to get back at us for all the times we&#8217;ve&#8230;kept him awake.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ariel squeaked. &#8220;Blair!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>All of a sudden, the shouting on the other side of the wall died.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank heaven,&#8221; Ariel mumbled, burying her face in her husband&#8217;s chest.<\/p>\n<p>Before they could get back to sleep, though, the pair on the other side of the wall burst into giggles. Apparently Jim had shared the joke.<\/p>\n<p>Blair&#8217;s wife groaned. &#8220;Remind me to buy a white noise generator to keep in the bedroom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The giggling only got louder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author&#8217;s Note: And now the time jumps get big.
