Victoria slipped on her house shoes and her sweater before she yawned and rubbed one of her own eyes. "I'm sure he just got overwhelmed, Gray." She said, but got to her feet. "I don't...think so, ma. This is different." Gray said. "I'll talk to him, but go back to your friends." She said, before she exited the bedroom and went to Gray's room.

Jasper had removed his main clothes, and dug out his old fur coat he kept since coming here. He removed the ribbon that held his hair together in a small pony tail and had freaked out until it was somewhat unruly on his head and shoulders. Jasper was on his knees in the corner of the bedroom. His socks and shoes thrown off and the jeans he wore a few hours before, cut rather short. Victoria just turned to her son, Gray, who followed close by. "You need to get James for me." She said, before she walked into the bedroom. She came up to Jasper slowly and eased down beside him. His cries were soft at this point, but all to real. "Jasper, sweetie." Victoria said softly, jasper just buried his head more, until the familiar footsteps of father reached his ears.

James nearly got knocked off his feet by the boy, and took the man nearly two hours to get Jasper in the bed, and feeling a little better. Some slightly over side clothes of Gray he agreed to put on and laid down in the twin bed of gray's. Jasper was asleep, the aid of one of James sleeping medicines. James was easing the blanket up over him. "He alright?" Gray asked and Victoria walking over and placed a kiss on his cheek. "His mind's just racing is all....doesn't really know how to handle it. He'll be alright." James said, easing Victoria to set down on his leg. "You've been over a lot or at work." She said. "That's some of it, but he doesn't have the best...social skills. Doesn't always know...how to speak his mind until it just becomes to much." James said. "It's cool if they stay. Al is going to be gone in July and arrangements can be arranged." Gray said. "I'm...looking into arrangements myself, but he'll be alright." James said.

Zachary Yawned getting shook lightly by his partner, Christopher, early on June 25th. June 25th was the day the twins, Zachary and Mary turned sixteen. Zachary wasn't feeling the best. Their growing girl inside his stomach was being all active and made for a uneasy sleep. He smiled lightly, however, getting a light kiss. "I'm not so used to Thomas not beinging here, every night." Zachary said. "Didn't James say something about moving them here?" Christopher asked and Zachary nodded. "It... requireds marriage, but he is trying to get around that factor. He can get a place here, and then once his baby is born, it too, but until they are married he can't move Victoria or her kids here." Zachary said. "He likes her, right?" Christopher asked. "But meeting somebody, getting them pregnant and then just getting married isn't the answer either. I do love you, very much, Zachary, but...I don't want to rush a marriage." Christopher said. "I know...and I understand." Zachary said.

Victoria, brought her three children over. Alex was quick to give both twins a hug. "Here." She said, holding out a pair of gift cards. "James didn't know what you'd want, so I got you bath a gift card." She said. "This works at McDonald's, right?" Zachary said, already craving a chocolate milkshake. "It does, but I just get you want you want if you come tomorrow." She said. "I want a milkshake." He half whined. "Zachary, you need more then that milkshake for breakfast!" Narcissa said, coming with her arms full. Dean and Johnathan were on her hips. "...Al!" Johnny giggled and Reached out. Alexandria smiled and grabbed him. He giggled and nuzzled to her neck for a moment. "Grandma-" Zachary started to fuss. "You eat you some breakfast, then you can go. You'll be fine." Narcissa said. Dean, who was sucking on his on binky, smiled when he seen Victoria. Dean was now  almost 18 months old. "Hi, buddy!" She said. Narcissa eased the boy down to her little feet. "Why don't you show auntie what you can do?" Narcissa said to her boy. After a pause and Victoria eased down Dean giggled and slowly walked over to her. She grinned. "Somebody is getting to be a big boy!" She said, picking Dean up. "Your tips have been very helpful." Narcissa said, getting a little hug form sky. "I'm glad you could come! I wasn't sure if you'd be here." She said, giving the eleven year old a hug back. "dad's taking me next weekend...but I'll be gone half the month." He said. "That's right. Alex, you are leaving here soon, too, aren't you?" Narcissa said. "For the month. Gray might come, don't know." She said, looking over at her brother. "I said, maybe! I ain't dealing with him all bloody month." He said. "He won't be that bad if you're there, and you know that." She whined. "Maybe." Gray said. "James is still sleeping, but I'm sure he won't mind if you wake him up. I'm going to get breakfast going. You three can head upstairs and join the others until breakfast is ready." Narcissa said.

James yawned, getting woke up by a kiss. He smiled lightly. Victoria seen he had company in the bed. His own boy and his husband and their little boy. "Zachary...said there was a possibility-" She started to say. James eased up in the bed. "It's complicated, Victoria. I can get myself a place here, and the baby afterwards. But...it's a little more complicated for you and the kids." James said. "What aren't you telling me?" She asked and James let out a sigh.
