By request, here's my timeline for Indy's life starting after the events of KOTCS. Be warned, it contains mostly speculation and outright fiction; but it is grounded in facts, social trends (I have a background in Developmental Psychology, Sociology and teaching), and every last bit of info I could squeeze out of the Old Indy bookends over the last 18 years. Anyone interested in my complete timeline (which includes pics) feel free to PM me. I'd like to acknowledge the work of Mr. Lane, who's outstanding work served as the starting point of my humble additions.
1957
Late June:
In a small ceremony at the Marshall College chapel, surrounded by their friends, Henry ?Indiana? Jones Jr. marries his true love, Marion Ravenwood Williams, with Henry ?Mutt? Jones III standing as Best Man for the couple. The happy newlyweds move into Indy?s house and spend the summer weeks catching up on old times and enjoying married life.
Henry ?Mutt? Jones III, inspired by his time in Peru, decides to begin his own life of adventuring, starting with a small adventure to retrieve his lost motorcycle.
September:
Indy and Marion convince Mutt to go back to school and, after a bit of negotiating and passing entrance exams, Mutt enrolls at the University of Chicago.
Late September:
Indy receives an unexpected letter from Short Round, dated September 15th. As an almost unavoidable temptation, Shorty details how he has tracked the ?Eye of the Peacock? diamond, missing for over twenty years, to a small Hawaiian island called Niihau, where it has fallen into the hands of the natives there. Indy, though tempted, chooses not to join Short Round on his adventure; wishing him luck instead. However, Mutt, learning of Short Round?s information, decides to meet up with him in Hawaii, and offers to work together to obtain the diamond. Shorty and Mutt?s adventure leads them to an angry tribe and an even angrier volcano; with the ?Eye of the Peacock? being lost inside.
October:
Mutt meets a fellow Archaeology student named Carol who has stumbled onto an ancient map that possibly leads to a fantastic archaeological find, the Lamp of the Black Shard, source of the tale of ?Aladdin?s Lamp?. Mutt agrees to help her and the pair travel half way around the world following the trail. Although the map is lost in the end, Mutt and Carol find true love with each other and are married by a ship?s captain along the way. The couple returns to the US, stopping first at Indy and Marion?s house to announce that they are married. The happy news is increased when Marion announces to everyone, including a very stunned Indy, that she?s three months pregnant.
1958
January:
Taking time off from school and continuing to follow clues for the Lamp around the world, Mutt and Carol?s latest adventure becomes happily complicated when Carol announces she?s pregnant.
April:
After a very tricky pregnancy, and an adventure to get to the hospital in time, Indy and Marion?s new family is complete when Marion gives birth to a daughter, Susan Jones, on April 28th.

August:
Carol Jones, almost at her delivery date, is excited when she discovers a secret clue to the Lamp?s location. Although it?s a risk, Mutt and Carol travel to Nepal to find the Lamp of the Black Shard. While traversing a dangerous mountain pass, Carol suddenly goes into labor. With less than a mile left to the location of the Lamp, Carol tries to go on, but the labor becomes complicated. Alone in an isolated mountain cave, Mutt helps during the difficult birth. Mutt and Carol?s daughter, Indy?s first granddaughter, Caroline Jones is born by torch light.

Although the baby is strong, Carol begins to fade; the labor and birth being too much for her to go through. Mutt, knowing how close they are to finding the Lamp, leaves them to try to bring the Lamp to Carol, hoping its mythical powers will heal Carol. He finds the Lamp, narrowly escaping its hiding place, and brings it back to her. Carol is able to hold the Lamp for a time before quietly passing away. Mutt leaves the Lamp and Carol?s body in the Black Shard cave as a memorial, and takes little Caroline home.
September:
Devastated by the loss of his wife, Mutt leaves baby Caroline with Carol?s family, says goodbye to Indy, Marion and his little sister, Susan, and goes off on his motorcycle across the US to heal.

1964
May:

The next day, Indy?s ?retirement from adventure? is interrupted by a top secret government agency for ?just one more mission?. Indy initially refuses, but the agency mentions that in exchange for his help, they will tell Indy Mutt?s whereabouts. Though Marion tries to stop him, eager to find his missing son, Indy accepts the job. Indy travels first to Norway, above the Arctic Circle, to the ancient Tomb of Ice, then to Tokyo, Japan, where an investigation of the museum there leads to a harrowing chase. Finally, traveling from Northern China to the remote ?Dragon Isle?, Indy is able to beat the competing evil agents to the ?Fire of the Dragon?, a meteorite with incredible powers. Captured by the evil agents and brought to their leader?s mountain lair, Indy is eventually able to free himself and regain the Fire. As he escapes, Indy is attacked by the evil leader wielding the ?Sword of the Dragon King? and a precarious melee, above a molten pit, ensues. Knowing that the Fire is too powerful for either side to have as a weapon, Indy tries to destroy it in the molten pit. Just as he is about to throw it in, he is attacked once again by the evil leader; the leader?s sword slashing through Indy?s right eye. Wounded but still able to fight, Indy throws the Fire into the molten pit and barely survives the resulting explosion that destroys the evil leader, his base and the entire island. Returning home with a long scar and eye patch over his right eye, wounded, but not defeated, Indiana Jones, never the less, promises Marion that he?ll give up adventuring once and for all; or at least for a little while.
