I'm fine if I can fool myself tonight

Jay nodded sadly.
Julian sighed and hugged his parents.

"Are you ok?" Alex asked quietly.
"To check on uncle Jacne."

Seth sighed and hugged Julian close, watching as Remy came over to hug Jay.

Jacen shrugged his shoulders.
Artemis sighed. "Do you want anything?" he asked, meaning food or drink.
"Frankie." Jacen pouted, though he knew that's not what his brother had meant.
"Oh..." Alyssa nodded.

Julian sighed, "Love you daddy." He said softly.
"You be careful ok." Jay said as he hugged Remy.

Alex sighed, not knowing what to do.

"Love you." Seth said, hugging him close.
Remy nodded. "Look after dad for me..." he said quietly.

Artemis frowned and carefully pulled Jacen into a hug. "I...looked around for information this morning," he said quietly, guessing that the information wouldn't help Jacen much. "It...it was Raven..."
Jacen made an upset sound, curling up against Artemis.

"I promise." Jay said.

Alex bit his lip hard, Raven......

"He didn't look too happy about letting me go..." Remy sighed.

"But..but he...he'll hurt him...." Jacen mumbled, tearing up.
Artemis bit his lip when he saw he'd upset his brother, looking as if it hurt to do such a thing. "Jacen... p-please don't..." he said, reaching a hand up to wipe away a tear from Jacen's face.

"I know..." Jay sighed, "He went so long without you...... B-But Jude really needs you right now...."

Alex wrapped his arms tightly around his stomach.

"I know..." Remy said, though he had no idea how much Julian really did need him.

Artemis quickly turned his head to look at Alex, wrapping an arm around him as well, pulling him close. "It...it's okay..." he said.

Jay sighed, "Jude is going to have to tell you something soon....." Jay said before leaving.

Alex curled close, shaking.

"What?" Remy asked, frowning and sighing when Jay and Seth left.

Artemis frowned and hugged them both close, closing his eyes as he clamed down, going back to his usual protective self.

Julian said down on the couch and grabbed a blanket.

Alex buried his face in Artemis's neck.

Remy took their bags to the bedroom before going to sit with him.

Artemis gently rubbed Alex's back, humming quietly.
Jacen was curled up on Artemis' other side, clinging to his arm.

Julian looked at him.

Alex tried to relex.

"Are you okay?" Remy asked quietly, watching him.

Artemis continued humming, trying to calm them down.

"I... I have to tell you something....." Julian said softly.

Alex slowly closed his eyes.

"What is it...?" Remy asked curiously.

Artemis turned and gently kissed Alex's head, sighing as Jacen held tightly onto his arm.

"I'mpregnant..." Julian said quickly.

Alex relaxed.

"Huh?" Remy said, not understanding what he said.

"Hold on..." Artemis said, carefully moving away from them to lean against Jacen's pillows.
Jacen quickly crawled over to Artemis and curled up against him.

"P-Pregnant......" Julian said again.

Alex curled as close as he could.

"You...you are?" Remy asked, staring at him.

Artemis smiled softly as he looked at them both, stroking Alex's hair.

Julian nodded looking down. "T-Thats why they had to rush me out..... T-Ted knows......"

Alex was calm again.

"Oh...." Remy said, slowly moving closer to hug him.

Jacen curled up closer against Artemis, who started humming again.

Julian hugged him tightly. "R-Remy... I think the baby is yours...."

Alex sat there slowly dozing off.

"Think...?" Remy asked before remembering what Julian did at work. "Oh right..."

Artemis kept humming, hating seeing them upset.

Julian curled close, "I-I can't believe it....."

Dante stood in the doorway.
