Elina stood by the end watching as the kids tried not to overwhelm they father and choose they rooms without fighting.

They all hanged they names on each room they choose.

" times up time for training " Peter walked in , Elina walked to Ceasar as she could see he needed to rest.

Lucky looked at him worried " I'll be fine go on " he nodded and they all walked out,  Crystal wiped his forehead and kissed his cheek.

" my daddy is strong , and will be fine " she waved and ran out , Ceasar pulled Elina resting on her stomach,  " I am tired " , " I know let's get you the drip and a shake " she helped him up to the couch " how long will it take for me to be fully drained? " , " the doctor said a week or two but a month to be certain " , " a month? ".

" mhhh so we should keep you distracted until then,  I think the kids should come back " , " Eli I d..." , " they want to come home , they want to see you okay , Lucky blames himself for not being able to heal you.

Plus I think having the kids around is good practice for when we go out , you almost ran upstairs when you saw them " he sighed.

" fine but don't push me and if I get aggressive hit me , I mean it hit the shit out of me " Elina chuckled " atleast you still have your sense of humor " she ran up got his IV drip and gave him his smoothie.

" Lucian made it said you'll love it " , " really ? " She nodded he took the bottle and drank it " mhhh this is good " , " really? " , " yes taste like water but thick with a hint of strawberries " , " your sense of taste worries me " she said next to him.

For the few weeks the kids came home , Ceasar became more and more aggressive.

He would try to hit or choke Elina in her sleep or when she refused him something.

He would be calmer when the kids were infront of him but got worse when he was alone with her.

The kids once came home to Elina bleeding on her head and she had just put him to bed.

The doctor gave him more medication but he just seemed to be getting worse.

Luca didn't go to school it was Wednesday,  he went out to the forest and called out for Sébastien.

He came immediately, " you called me? " He nodded , " why? " Luca explained everything to him and he hurried home.

Ceasar had Elina pinned to the wall her head bleeding,  and arm bitten off , Elina refuse to hurt him.

" mom! " Luca screamed , " let her go " Sébastien voiced calm,  Ceasar put her down , " come to me, I have what you want " Sébastien walked out and Ceasar followed , Luca ran to Elina.

Steffan ran inside " what's happening? " , " he was bewitched its not drugs , talk him down while I make the concoction " , Sébastien rushed to the kitchen brewing some herbs.

Lucky ran in and hurried upstairs , he placed his hand over his mom's head.

Lupitor held onto his father's hands and murmerd something and he sat down.

" what did you do? " , " I just calmed him down , grandpa Cyrus thought me this " Steffan nodded.

The others were in the hallway stuck between going up or staying down.

Sébastien was now done , he fed the concoction to Ceasar with a spoon , his eyes changed back to its normal color.

Elina ran down " Ceasar " , " mom you're bleeding " Crystal voiced , " I am fine sweety where is your father ? " she rushed downstairs not waiting for her to give an answer.

" Eli what happe... " , " why are you here? What did you feed him? " , " I called him , dad needed him " Luca voiced scared of his own mom.

Elina had her eyes red , Steffan stood infront of her " you're scaring the kids , wipe t..." , " what's wrong with him? Will he be f..." , " for fucksakes Elina snap out of it you're scaring the children! " Steffan shouted shaking her.

" you said to bring these kids back here that you can manage , you're scaring them , they are already afraid they lost they father , how do you think they feel watching you look like this? "

Lucky and Luther were standing infront of the others shielding them from anything.

" look at them standing guard waiting for anything to happen , Ceasar is grown these kids will remember this forever so snap out of it " , Elina closed her eyes taking a breather.

" Eli I got yo..." Timothy paused looking at everyone,  he walked in and stood infront of the kids , Ceasar started to groan waking up.

" feeling better? " Sébastien asked helping Ceasar up , " what happened? " , " you don't remember? " , he shook his head placing a hand on his head.

" where is Eli? " , Sébastien looked her way she still had her eyes closed , he jumped up " Eli why are you bleeding? Why do you have mark on your neck ? What happened to your arm? " He looked around.

Looking over Timothy but the kids moved back as he walked to them and he stopped looking around the room " what happened? Was someone here? Why isn't anyone saying anything? ".

" you strangled mom and hurt her , it was you no one is here it was you ! " Luca shouted.

" Eli , I hurt...you..I..did? " He asked trying to touch her , " she's going to fall " Crystal shouted and Ceasar catched her.

" what's wrong with her? " , " your wife hasn't been eating nor sleeping , you've been hurting her everyday she's tired , she needs rest or she'll lose them " Sébastien voiced pointing to her stomach.

Lucky ran to her mom's side and placed a hand on her stomach " two sets of heartbeats , they beating slowly " , " she's pregnant? " Ceasar asked and Lucky nodded.

" Sébastien tell me what is wrong with me? Am I fine now? Or will I hurt them again? " , " I wish your son called me sooner but yes you'll be fine just take a cup of the concoction every morning until it's done , don't take any pills or IV you should be fine.

I'll make Eli something for the kids " , " I don't get it why didn't she fight me? " , " Eli may fight the rest of the world but she would never fight you,  unless you were to hurt the kids ".

" I am taking Eli with me " , Timothy voiced picking her up , " Timothy le..." , " you've hurt her more than enough " he left.

" I don't trust you with the children I am taking them with me " Steffan voiced lifting up Crystal and walking out with the rest Lucky and Luther stayed behind.

" go ahead go with your grandfather " , " someone has to stay and watch over you and make sure you take the concoction and eat we're staying " Lucky voiced.

" plus someone has to be here so mom won't worry " they both picked up they bags and walked to they rooms.

Ceasar sat down " you're really lucky , Luca called me when he did or you would've ran wild " , " did he see me? Did he see me hurting her ? " , " yes unfortunately " , " he will never forget it ".

" that wasn't you he will understand one day , you to need to rest , you just got your kids and wife back , now dealing with this for almost a month , you need a second to breath,  take this time alone fix the rooms go out take walks.

When your family is ready they will come to you ".

" you know what she's carrying right? Is it boys or girls? " , " girls " he nodded.

Getting up " I am going to take a bath tell me when you go " he nodded and walked up.

Sébastien made something for Elina as promised.

Then made dinner for the boys and Ceasar then just left a note on the table and left.
