I'm fine if I can fool myself tonight

Peter held out the plate, "Here."

Kari nodded.

Alex nodded as he grabbed another one for himself.

"Oh thanks." Jacen said as he took it.

Cole pouted. "Silly." he said.

"You think you might be too...?" Artemis asked, tilting his head slightly to one side.

Peter smiled.

Kari hugged her twin, "We no shy."

"I don't know..... I've felt weird lately....." Alex said softly.

Jacen started eating slowly.

"Nope." Cole said, hugging her back.

Artemis moved closer to hug him. "And you didn't say anything?"

Peter sat down and watched him eat.

"I Kari, my twin Cole-Cole."

"With everything that has been going on....." Alex said softly.

Once he was done eating, Jacen sighed, leaning back against the pillows.
"Cole-Cole?" Skye asked, confused.

Artemis sighed softly, hugging him close.

"You ok baby?" Peter asked.
"Cole but i call Cole-Cole..." kari explained.

"What if i am Arty.....?"

"Just still...um...not well after earlier I guess..." Jacen said quietly, looking confused again, the drug starting to wear off.
"Oh..." Skye said, nodding.

"Well then Aly will have someone else to play with." Artemis smiled, kissing Alex's head.

Peter nodded and got another shot ready and gave it to him.
Kari smiled.

Alex smiled softly and nodded.

Jacen pulled a face, making an irritated sound as Peter gave him the shot.
Skye smiled shyly back.

Artemis hugged Alex close, rubbing his back. "I love you."

"Its ok baby." Peter said hugging him.

"I love you too." Alex said.

Jacen smiled, moving his empty plate onto the noghtstand before moving closer to Peter.
Nathaniel came back with an extra blanket for the kids, putting it on them.

Artemis smiled and hugged him tightly.

Peter rubbed his back.
"Tank you." Karo said, moving under the blanket,

"Lets get home, "Alex said with a smile.

Jacen hugged him tightly, leaning his head on Peter's.
"You're welcome." Nathaniel said, smiling.

Artemis nodded and let Alex go. "Okay."

Kari curled up under the blanket.

Alex paid for the stuff and walked out the door.

"Are you hungry or anything?" Nathaniel asked the twins.

Artemis followed Alex quietly, putting an arm around his shoulders when they were outside.

Karo nodded, "Yes...'

Alex smiled and relaxed agaibst him.

"What would you like to eat?" Nathaniel asked her, Cole having gone quiet.

"Anywhere else you need to go before we head home?" Artemis asked.

Kari looked at her twin, "Cole-Cole?"

Alex shook his head, "No don't think so."

Cole nodded. "Uh huh."

"Okay." Artemis said, leading Alex back to the car.

Kari looked at the man, "Pbj?"

Alex smiled softly.

"Sure." Nathaniel said, getting up to head into the kitchen after kissing Skye's head.

Artemis smiled back and kissed Alex's cheek before driving them home.
Mikey was finally up and dressed, sitting in the kitchen eating.

Kari smiled softly at her twin.

Alex smiled, happy when they got home.
Zane was on the phone.

Cole smiled back and hugged his twin.

Artemis led Alex inside, smiling when he saw Carmen.
"Hey Arty." Carmen said before going over to hug him and Alex.
Mikey slowly ate, watching Zane.

Alex smiled before hugginf her back, "Hey."

Zane gave a small wave.
