The Prison Was Easier

Chapter 21

Josh's POV

A few days later, Nicolas and I sit on the couch in the living room, in the late evening.

We watch some stupid movie and I start to get annoyed by it, so I decide to change it to something else.

But before I can do it, the door bell rings, so I go to open the front door, and my mate follows behind me.

I really hope that it's not the Doctor again, some my parents forgot to tell him to leave us alone and he came back a day later, so I literally had to carry him out of the house, which made Nicolas laugh for hours.

But papa assured me that the crazy Doctor won't bother us anymore, so I open the front door without hesitation, and it reveals one of my brothers.

"Hey. Is dad here?" He asks me, so I shake my head.

"He's still working." I tell him, and he groans.

"I can stay with Josh." Pater says, I didn't even realise that he's here since I didn't look down, and I didn't concentrate enough on the scents.

"I can watch him until dad comes back." I say with a shrug, Peter is easy to babysit, so I won't mind watching him, but if he has the babies here too, then I doubt that I would agree.

"Thanks." He says, before he messes Peter's hair and he waits for him to get inside of the house, then he walks away.

"Why didn't he need me to watch you?" I ask him curiously.

"One of the babies are in the hospital, and dad is there along with Leon and the other baby.

Noel brought me here, because he didn't want me to sit in the hospital, but he wants to be there too." He explains, so I nod.

I can see that my mate is looking at Peter with a frown, as if he didn't expect him to speak.

Peter gives him a smile, but he doesn't bother to introduce himself, so I follow him to the living room, and Nicolas goes with us.

We sit in the living rooms, and can't help, but think that Nicolas never was around a small kid, because he looks at Peter like he's some kind of a creature which he didn't know that existed.

I think that he saw a kid before, but he must have never interacted with any of them before, because it's clear that he had no idea what to expect.

I talk with Peter for a while longer, until Nicolas decided to join the conversation, finally getting over his shock.

We sit with Peter for about an hour, before dad comes half, and he tells us that he will watch the boy from now, so I take my mate upstairs, and we decide to watch another movie, this time a bit less stupid than the last one, although it's still not something that I would say that I like.

When Nicolas falls asleep, I turn the TV off, and I cuddle with him, hoping that I will manage to fall asleep too.
