I'm fine if I can fool myself tonight

Artemis smiled back at him. "Aly is too, she's even been trying to look after 'uncle' Mikey."

Jacen slowly leaned against Frankie, clinging to him with one hand. "He...he said I have to be careful though..."

Dante giggled softly. "I bet she has."

Frankie nodded, "I'll make sure you and the baby are safe."

"She's lucky he doesn't get moody like Jacen when he's tired," Artemis said. "She follows him around a lot."

"He said he'd come by later to talk about the other thing..." Jacen muttered, frowning.

Dante nodded, "Mikey does seem to mind though."

Frankie nodded nervously,

"Not really. Zane tells Aly to go play though if he thinks Mikey's had enough."

"He said it isn't serious...i-if I look after myself properly." Jacen told him.

Dante smiled, "Zane takesgood care of Mikey."

"It is?" Frankie asked softly/.

"He does." Artemis smiled, nodding.

Jacen slowly looked up at him. "He said it's a permanent condition..." He frowned.

"How has papa been daddy?" Dante asked softly.

"What does that mean?" Frankie asked.

"He's been fine." Artemis said quietly, looking down at his drawing.

"...Casey said the other problems I've been having is because I have diabetes..." Jacen mumbled, his eyes on the ground.

Dante nodded, "He has been quietly the last few days."

"So it really isn't as bad as the other doctors said."

"I know," Artemis said. "He was worried about you..."

Jacen shook his head. "No...but I'm stuck with it."

"I didn't mean ti make papa worry about me..." Dante said sofftly.

Frankie hugged him tightly.

"It's not your fault." Artemis said, putting down his drawing, holding his arms out for a hug.

Jacen sighed and leaned against him again, one hand on his stomach.

Dante curled close to Artemis.

Frankie started to lead Jacen to their room.

Leo limped in quietly to his room/

"Rest," Artemis said softly. "You need it."

"Where are we going...?" Jacen mumbled.

Joseph looked up when he heard Leo comein, having been waiting for him there. "Leo?"

Dante slowly closed his eyes, drifting off quickly.

"Our room, you should rest." Frankie answered.

"Hey.." Leo said quietly.

Artemis smiled softly, stroking Dante's hair.

"I'm fine..." Jacen said stubbornly.

"Are you alright?" Joseph asked.

Alex smiled as he watched from the doorway as Dante curled closer.

"I know but you should still rest, it would be good for the baby."

:I was attacked... b-By my... Ex..."

"Hey." Artemis said quietly when he saw Alex.

Jacen sighed. "Okay..."

"What?" Joseph said, quickly getting up and going over to him. "When?"

"Hey." Alex said softly befpre walking over to sit on the other side of Artemis.

Frankie kissed the top of his head.

"Half an hour ago.. He was drunk." Leo answered quietly.

Artemis smiled and leaned his head against Alex.

Jacen stayed close to Frankie as they headed to their room.

Joseph frowned. "What were you doing with him?"

Alex snuggled close to his Arty.

Frankie wrapped his arm around Jacen.

"I wasn't, i met with my father and on the way back here... Didn't see him till he attacked...."

Jay looked up as the door to his room opened.

"Love you." Artemis said quietly.

Jacen gave a small smile, climbing onto the bed once they were in the room.

"Where is he?"

"Jay, come here." Cody said, holding his hand out as he stood in the doorway.

"Love you too Arty." Alex said with a smile.

Frankie climbed in next with him.

"I don't know... Maybe he's still there..."

"What is it?" Jay asked as he took his hand.

Artemis grinned before picking up his sketch pad, showing Alex the drawing he'd been doing of him.

Jacen curled up against Frankie, burying his face against his chest.

"Where?" Joseph asked.

"You'll see." Cody said before leading him down the hall.
