A Sacrafice of the Heart (HunterxCrosshair) Book 1 - COMPLETE!

Chapter 54

Two weeks later…

The batch were in awe at their new members. Although Tech grumbled about needing a bigger ship, he loved the new additions. Omega was thrilled as was Honey, new playmate's. However, the same could not be said for Ashton who just wanted his daddy. The problem was, Crosshair had drained himself so much that his body went into a sleep. During these two weeks, the batch had learned some very secret information from Blackout who was enjoying everyone trying to work out who he was. 

Hunter had learned that Crosshair was half human, half celestial. Which is why he had powers. Now the marksman just had to admit to the batch who his parents are. Hunter knew that his partner held that knowledge very tightly to his chest. Even when they watched the video in the hangar, the sound was cancelled out a few times. Hunter knew it was purposely done that way, so Crosshair could keep himself hidden.

"How's he doing father?" Omega's voice came from the doorway as she skipped into the room with a miserable Ashton beside her. The kid just didn't know how to smile, Hunter smiled at the two and brought them both into a hug. Archer was asleep in the cradle beside the bed with Cal reading beside him. The youngling was becoming more independent by day and it was worrying Hunter a little.

"He's still sleeping, Blackout thinks he will be awake soon…anyway enough about him. How is my little detective doing?" Hunter said with a chuckle passing a bandana over to Ashton who smiled when Hunter put it over his brown hair, that really needed to be cut. But Ashton wouldn't allow anyone near his hair, he was like Hunter. Who only allowed very few people to cut his hair and one of them lay on the bed sleeping. 

"I'm nearly there. Ahsoka thinks we have almost narrowed down who Blackout is. Also! Kix and Jesse had another fight today! Uncle Fives says it's because Kix won't let Jesse into his little secret. Now I don't know what that means but I'm…" Hunter chuckled, "Omega that's none of your business. Best of you to stay out of it. I think the medic is just grouchy because Jesse is out partying and then being a complete idiot to his partner"

"What does that mean?" Omega looked at him like he had grown another head. Hunter scratched his neck trying to work out what to say.

"He's jealous, Omega" a croaky voice spoke up from the bed. All heads whipped around to see a half-awake Crosshair watching them. Hunter smiled at him as the kids moved to greet him. Ashton was in shock so Hunter picked him up and placed him carefully on the bed. Cal smirked moving back to his book knowing patience was something he had mastered. 

"Daddy!" Honey half shouted from the doorway where Howzer had appeared ready to take the kids, he was really loving this grandparenting thing. Wolffe was even helmetless beside him. Hunter had to pluck Honey out of mid air before she collided with Crosshairs chest. The marksman nodded in thanks wrapping her up. Ashton patiently waited beside Crosshairs head allowing the others a turn. Once Omega and Honey pulled away, he moved to hug Crosshair who smirked at his son. "Cut cut!" Crosshair only grinned, making a finger signal to say later. 

For once Hunter knew he wasn't speaking about Cut and Suu who had settled down in the rebel city. Hidden by trees they had to be careful, although the forest went on for miles. They still had to be extra careful especially since a few ships had entered the atmosphere a few times but were just rebels forgetting to check in.

"Come on kids, you can see him later. It's lunchtime" Howzer said, receiving pouts but the smile from Crosshair was worth it. Hunter smirked helping Honey and Ashton down. Omega hugged Hunter tightly before leading the twins away. Cal moved over to the bed when Crosshair turned to face him and pulled him in. Cal whispered a few things and Crosshair listened in before nodding and kissing his forehead. Cal smirked loving it as he left with one last smile.
