Old Friends

Jacen nodded, burying his face against Frankie's chest.
"That's good." Jasper smiled.
"Where's Aly by the way?" Artemis asked. "She up yet?"

Frankie lead him over to the couch.
Dante smiled and went over to him, "Where's Kari?"
"She's up, I believe she was working on something in her room though, something for her big brother."

Jacen sat down and looked up at him, still worried he was in trouble.
"Hmm...she was in here. Maybe the bathroom?"
"Oh, alright." Artemis nodded.

"Its okay, just please be careful Jacen." Frankie said before kissing him softly.
Dante nodded and sat down.
Alex smiled softly.

Jacen nodded before smiling, wrapping his arms around Frankie's neck as he kissed back.
"Hi papa." Cole grinned as Dante sat down.

Frankie smiled and hugged him close. "Love you."
Dante smiled and hugged Cole, "Hey little one?"

Jacen smiled softly, curling up against him. "I love you too."

"Daddy's helping me build." Cole grinned.

Frankie smiled and hugged him closer.

"I can see that." Dante kissed the top of his head.

Jacen slowly relaxed against him, closing his eyes. "I'm sorry..." He said quietly.

"We building this house." Cole told him.

"Its okay, I'm only care that your okay." Frankie said softly.

"It looks great so far." Dante smiled.

Jacen nodded, staying curled up against him for a bit before slowly getting up.

"It's taking a looong time." Cole pouted.

Standing behind Dante, Artemis gently poked his side.

"Where are you going?" Frankie asked softly.

"Aww..." Dante started before giving a loud squeak at being poked.

"Room..." Jacen said, heading for the stairs.

"Hey there." Artemis chuckled.

Frankie started to follow.

"Hey daddy." Dante said with a smile.

Jacen looked over his shoulder at Frankie, taking his hand when he caught up.

"You left your present in our room you know." Artemis said, brushing a hand through Dante's hair before hugging him.

Frankie smiled and squeezed his hand.

"Oh right, sorry daddy." Dante said before hugging back.

Jacen gently squeezed his hand back before walking again. Once they were in their room, Jacen let go and went into the bathroom, coming back soon after with his medication, pouting slightly as he held it out to Frankie, still not liking it.

"It's okay, just reminding you so you don't forget." Artemis said.

Frankie took it, "Here, let me get that ready for you."

Dante nodded, "Where is papa?" He asked curious.

Jacen nodded and sat down on the edge of the bed, taking his coat off.

"In our room I think." Artemis answered.

Frankie carefully got everything ready for the shot.

Dante smiled and nodded, "Ahh, what is he doing?"

Alex smiled as he worked on wrapping his gift.

Jacen bit his lip nervously as he watched.

"You'll see." Artemis smiled.

Frankie carefully rubbed his arm, "Its okay." He carefully gave the shot.

Dante nodded before smiling and hugging Kari when she came back in.

Jacen closed his eyes as he relaxed, pulling a face when he felt it.

"Hi Kari!" Cole grinned when he saw her.

"Its okay." Frankie said softly before hugging Jacen close.

"Hi Cole-Cole!" Kari grinned at her twin.

Jacen nodded and leaned against him.

Cole got up, holding his arms out for a hug.
