Forth's day has just ended and he just sent Sora and Blake home. He saw the girls and Bon playing by the playground he created for them outdoors. They were with their nannies and they ran to him when they saw their Dad approaching them.

"Daddy" they screamed as they jumped on Forth.
Said father welcomed his children in his arms and almost stumbled with their weight. One by one, he ruffled their hair and dropped a peck on their foreheads.
"Ewww...you three smell like sweat" he playfully teased them.
Reese giggled while Bian pouted. Bon on the other hand squirmed out of his embrace and ran around with a toy plane in his hand.
"You're mean Daddy" Bian said giving him a stinky eye.
"Oho, my princess got offended" Forth said as he pulled her closer and tickled her.
Reese couldn't stop giggling and was later on pulled by his father and sister. Eventually, Bon stopped running and also joined the fun.

Forth has stepped out of the shower in nothing but joggers and a towel draped halfway on his shoulder while drying his hair. Just in time to see Beam in a loose tee and khaki shorts leaning on their balcony.
He approached him and hugged his husband's waist from behind while snuggling Beam's neck. "You look so lost in your thoughts, hmm" Forth murmured.
Beam leaned back in his husband's sturdy chest and sighed. He placed his palms on top of Forth's clasped hands by his navel. At the same time, he leaned his head against the taller man's shoulder.
"What's bothering you babe?" Forth knows his husband is drowning in his thoughts and needs to be pulled back.
He also understands that the recent event would resurface bitter memories that the whole family has tried to bury in the past. Forth could feel the turmoil it had caused in Beam's already peaceful life.
"I don't know love. I'm caught in between emotions. It has been long since I've seen P'Peach and heard about Mr. Sunthorn... anything related to them. Mom and Mae kept me sheltered from the events after his downfall. I just...I don't know. I can sense P'Peach did change since those kids are great except for Aran.
You've seen them, even met them. Annie is an excellent teacher. Rich reminds me of how stubborn and determined you are. Pree is a sweet and independent girl. Mae is so taken in by her despite knowing who she is" Beam softly said.
"Hmmm...so my Mom knows her...not surprising. I trust her judgment. Does Bea know?" Forth responded.
Beam chuckled. "Nah, she's clueless. You know she steers clear of anything dreary, including talks about work and business. Bea's sheltered like Jay. I am not surprised that Beej knows... just worries cause he grew up too fast"
"Our boys are indeed growing up and they're going to be fine. We're here and we've got their backs covered" Forth said as he kissed his cheek. "My only regret is not doing anything after the initial assault that kid made during the final night of the Moons and Stars gathering"
"I just can't understand what's his beef with Jay...from being his childhood bully to his assailant? Ugh, talk about upgrading from a schoolyard punk to a criminal" Beam said in contempt.
"Hush love. Don't stress yourself too much. Jay would get better. I'll take care of this. No one gets away in hurting our children" Forth promised as turned him around in his embrace and rained kisses on Beam's face.

Forth was busy manning the kitchen for their dinner and left Beam in their room. Said doctor is now busy typing on his laptop. If there is one thing he'd learnt when he was filling in for his husband, it was how to get into different databases and look for the information he wants.
Beam furrowed his eyebrows when he stumbled upon an information he thought would take him days to find. He smirked to himself as he went over the file.
"Bingo!" He mumbled to himself as he took his phone in hand and dialled a number.
"Keep an eye on him. I want a report on every move he makes" Beam said on the phone.
Just then, Forth entered the room and heard his husband speaking on the phone. He sat behind him and pulled him to sit on his lap.
"What was that about?" Forth asked as he placed his chin on Beam's shoulder the moment his phonecall ended.
Beam chuckled and sighed. "You'd think I'd just let it slip like that? Not a chance baby, they've hurt our son and they need to pay" he said in a singsong voice.
Forth snickered and simoly hugged his husband's stomach. "No one's stopping you love. You can call your back ups if you want to" he suggested. "But don't go overboard. We've got an image to keep up"
"Yeah right" Beam responded before he burst out laughing. "Oh god, just thinking about what Mom and Mae would say. I'm getting excited"
"If I didn't love you too much, I'd be creeped out right now. You sound like an evil psycho doctor just now" Forth teased him.
Beam stopped laughing and glared at him.
"Oi, you know I'm letting you do this to appease your anger and pain but you also need to stop our mothers if they go overboard. Those are just misguided pre-adults, Beam" Forth reminded him.
Beam sighed. "You're such a party-pooper. Can't I at least enjoy basking in my imagination for now" he grumbled.
Forth suddenly turned him around so they were now facing each other, with Beam still on his husband's lap. The Engineer suddenly squished the other's cheeks and gushed over him. "Why are you soooo cute my darling Beam" he stated.
"Let gooooo" Beam whined as he tried to pull his husband's large hands away from his pinkish cheeks.
