James wasn't really too sure what to say, because it was a LOT of information to take in. He just slowly walked over to Victoria. "I'll admit...starting with a ten year old at my age was going to be a challenge, let alone a new born, but 30 years of my life I spent on an island. I do...care about you and I've grown to care for your little man, the teens are very talkative but I'm sure with enough time, they'll opened up. I'm not running away, not at all." James replied and after a pause she walked over to him and nuzzled to his chest. He smiled lightly and put his arms around her. "Come on, let's finish setting up alright? I can crash here tonight and watch his friends for his sleepover so you can get some rest, alright?" James asked. "Wasn't you suppose to watch Johnathan?" She asked. "He can be brought here." James pointed out. "I'd like that...thank you."

Johnathan was dropped off before the party got started, because Thomas and Jasper were going out tonight. Thomas was feeling better today and wanted to spend some time with his husband, and James didn't mind to spend time with his grandson. Johnny was, however, getting into everything he seen. It was a new place and he as a very nosey little boy who wanted to learn about the new home he was brought into.
Both Grey and Alex were told to request today off, so after school, the pair opened the door. Johnathan turned and fell to his bottom. He lost concentration, but giggled. "Ma! Who's the baby?" Alex said as she walked over to Johnathan. Johnathan grind and put his arms up. She lend down and picked him up and put him on her hip. "Ma!" Alex called for again. "She's in the bathroom, Alexandria." James said, turning into the living room, a small hand towel being used to dry his hands. "Don't, don't use my full name. Alex is, fine. Thank you." She said. "Alright. It's habit, for the primary school kids, but there's some mini sandwiches on the coffee table." James said. "Cool. Lunch was shit today anyway." Grey said, and was quick to walk into the living room. "ma?" She asked James. "She's napping." James said, watching Johnathan rest against Alexandria. His head on her shoulder and he put his binky in his mouth. "Oh, now you relax." James chuckled, but give his head a small pat. "I thought your boys were adults?" She asked. "Jasper is 21 and Harry will be 32 at the end of next month, yes. However, Johnathan here, is Jasper's boy. He is fourteen months old." James said. Grey walked over, with a few of the mini sandwiches in his hand. Alex took one form him. "He looks like a toddler." He said, before shoving one of the sandwiches in his mouth. "Johnny has always been a tall boy." James said. "Cool. Cool." Grey said.

Grey had his snack, before he finished helping James set up the last few details for his little brothers birthday party. Alex, ended up with a sleeping boy nuzzled to her. She sat on the couch, reading a book for a book report. Johnathan had fussed and run over to her three different times before she told James it was fine.
He was laying on her lap, under his Pokemon blanket, taking his nap.

One by one sky and his friends shown up, and James went to wake Victoria who yawn getting a light kiss by her new partner, who didn't run away at the news of the pregnancy. She smiled lightly at James. "Grey attack my mini sandwiches." James kind of laughed. "He complains about the school lunches, but he is in football. He is a growing boy." Victoria said. "I didn't mind. I'm glad. I worried they'd go to waste because I made them. It's habit. If there's nothing on the coffee table to make a snack, to make it. So I made mini sandwiches." He said. "No, it's okay!" Victoria said. Victoria touched herself up, before she walked over to the door. "Thank you." She said softly. "For?" He asked. "Not running..." She said kind of softly. "I couldn't do such a thing, Victoria." James said.

Come that evening, Alex was laying on her bed. She was in an oversized shirt she would be sleeping in. It covered her undergarments, but was still a little to short to be having on in company, but she was sixteen and didn't see it mattered. James liked her mother, would it really bother him? She thought. She heard Johnathan being fussy, again?  Johnathan was having a hard time getting comfortable in a new place and away form both his daddies. He had wiggled away form James. "Let him go. He will get drained and fall asleep, I promise." Victoria said and reluctantly, James agreed and joined her in the kitchen for a snack. Sky and his sleep over friends were gathered around in the living room watching a movie and eating popcorn. Victoria didn't have much for dinner, because she was feeling really nauseous. Now? Her stomach was settled some and she wanted to have a snack.

Johnathan walked into the doorway that was opened, it turned out to bed Grey's room, who had a friend over. His friend pointed to Johnathan who frowned. He was looking for Alex. "That's Johnathan. His mum's boyfriend grandson. He's been kind of fussy all day. Mom says it is because it's a new place." Grey said. "shouldn't he be, like, asleep?" His friend asked. "Probably, but he ain't." Grey said, before he climbed out of bed and walked over to Johnathan who rubbed his eyes and made a fussy noise. "Why aren't you in bed?" Grey asked, lending down. "...a...al!" He cried and grey thoughts about it for a moment. "Are you looking for Alex?" He asked and Johnathan did a little baby nodded before he half sobbed. "Now, now. Non of that. Let's go find Alex." Grey said, before turning back to his friend. "I'll be right back." He said.
