Grey went to pick him up but Johnathan whined out and shook his head. "Well then." Grey said, before he walked past him and slowly walked down the hallway. Johnathan followed Grey who opened his little sisters room. "Hi!" She frowned. "You know mom would kick your butt if you were doing anything inappropriate, so I know it's safe to open the door." He pointed out, before Johnathan walked past him and slowly over to the bed. He whined out, putting his arms out and cried. She let out a sigh, put pulled Johnathan up on the bed and laid him on her bed.
She tucked him into bed beside her before climbed off the bed and opened her closet. She reached for one of her old stuff Teddy bears, hearing Johnathan moving on the bed. "No. I'm coming back. I know it's bedtime." She said, before she turned back to face the fourteen months old boy. Johnathan yawned, and rubbed his eye. He pushed his binky back in his mouth, but was sitting back up in the bed. Looked at her with one eye as he rubbed his other one. She carried the teddy bear over to the bed. It was sixteen years old, one of two she had when she was born, but had grown out of them, plus she would still have one. He looked at her all wided eyed when she seen the teddy before and she smiled lightly. She walked back over to the bed and sat back down on the bed. "His name is Sunny. Here." She said, holding it out for him. Johnathan slowly grabbed at and she smiled.

Johnathan was asleep a few minutes laters, holding his new teddy bear, tucked into bed beside the sixteen year old who was playing on her phone. It was a little after ten, when her mom walked into her bedroom. Victoria had showed and got ready for bed. Her sleepy boyfriend, James, not far behind her. "I haven't seen that bear in a while, I wasn't sure if you still had it." Victoria said softly. "I still have a couple, there in the closet. He's fine in here tonight." She said, turning off her phone. "Jasper should be here in the morning to get him, he doesn't have a class on the weekends." Victoria said. "It's cool. I don't want to go." She fussed and Victoria let out a sigh. "There isn't much I can do, Alex. Your daddy can request you, and did. The court is required you to go bi weekend." She said. "It's bullshit and you know that." She fussed. "I know, we have another court date in July, you can talk to the judge yourself, but I don't know what they'll decide. How come, you gave him the bear?" Victoria asked. "Because he could use it. I feel as if James is gonna be around for a while anyway." She said. "What makes you think that?" Victoria asked. "He's just different. Seems a little...Spacey, but cool. Grey fucked up his sandwiches." Victoria said. "Alex, watch your tongue, please." James half yawned. "He's asleep." Alex said, as she found herself being covered up by her mother. "Understood, but that's not a good habit for a young lady to make." James said. "I forget your...I'm not sure that words. You were once Navy but you don't have those characters anymore. Grey's says your brother does and so does the older boy, but not the other." She said and after a pause. "It's been a while since it was needed, Alex. Harry is still active, and so is my nephew, Teddy, who is docking soon." James said and Victoria turned to face him. "Is that why Black called?" She asked. "That was actually, Remus, but yes. He should be docking Sunday, the kids are excited. Michael still sends him books." James said. "Is that why he is closing the bar after tomorrow?" She asked. "Yeah. They are going out once Teddy gets some rest. Harry will tag along I'm sure. Danny's been getting overwhelmed lately. It...would be easier if the boys camed and sat up a little area." James asked. "That's fine. I think we might have a problem with Johnny thought." She smiled lightly. "It's cool, Ill move my make up out of little hands reach." She said. "That's something else you should probably get out of the habit of. You don't need it." James said and she raised an eyebrow. "Girls all over wear make up, I'm sure you've noti- That's why you stopped wearing it." She pointed out and Victoria give her daughter a light smile. "Just think on it? It's getting late, I know it's Friday but I'm crashing." Victoria said. "Alright, ma." Alex replied back.

Come early that next morning, Alex yawned when the little pair of hands woke her up by tapping in her face. She was greeted by a pair of bright green eyes. Johnathan hair was all over the place, but he was half grinning through his binky. She yawned again, but climbed out of bed. She through on some clothes before she picked him up and carried the baby out of the bedroom. Johnathan rested comfortable on her hip as she walked down the stairs.
Harry was over, dropping off a few boxes. He was in his own uniform, hair still slightly wet form a shower before he came and Danny sat pushing a toy car across the coffee table. "Are you sure I can just leave him here? The kids are running around like crazy and Danny is getting fussy. Even Ruth can't really make him feel better." Harry half yelled to his father, who stood in the stove. Three children, his baby grandson and his pregnant girlfriend would need breakfast soon. "I'm sure. It's Saturday, do you have to go to the base this morning?" James asked, after putting a pause on breakfast and joined his son in the living room. "Kimberley father never came back from his break. Kimberley is still at the house and he isn't answering the phone. His Caption inform me of his own custody battle of his daughter. It's got ugly and he fears it happens again." Harry pointed out. "Just be careful if your going looking for trouble." James said. "I'm not looking for trouble, but I don't need a young girl fathers being attacked, again." Harry said. "Alright, son. I got Danny. Do you know when-" James started and Harry shook his head. "They spent the evening at a hotel. I haven't a clue when they'll make it is. Besides. He looks comfortable where he is." Harry smiled lightly, seeing Alex standing in the background, Johnathan up on her hip. He was relaxed and snuggling his new Teddy bear.

James called Alex over, so she walked over. Johnathan giggled out and Harry smiled. "Good morning, buddy!" Harry said, and ruffled his hair. "Somebody used the wrong shampoo." Harry laughed. "I'll fix it later." James said, playfully, with a roll of his eyes. "Alex, this would be Harry. Harry, this is Alex." James said and Harry smiled.
James left the pair to talk, at least for a few minutes. Harry had to leave and the smell of breakfast was making Johnathan a little fussy. Harry said his goodbyes to his father and Alex, and Hurried out the door.

Alex seen the highchair and put Johnathan in it. James walked over and handed the baby a bottle of milk. Johnathan would make due with it, until he got his pancakes. "Are you sure you don't mind Johnathan? I can set him up someplace else." James said and she shook his head. "I don't mind. Johnathan is a very friendly boy! Who's him?" She said, pointing at the toddler, Daniel. "That's Daniel. His also a twin, a sister name Ruth. All the kids are home today, as it is Saturday. He has been getting overwhelmed. It's pretty quiet here." James said. "Awe, why is that?" She asked. "They aren't sure. He's got a doctor's appointment coming up. They are a bit worried about him." James said, before turning back to the stove and finished making breakfast.
