Our little brother

Chapter 96

Noah's POV:

"Want to sh-show Lex new shoes!" I say, hoping that he's home now. They're so shiny I think they'll make him smile, shiny things are so pretty! "You might have to show him tomorrow buddy, I'll see if he's up for a little company first okay?" Hunter tells me and I nod. Lex might be sleepy after running for so long. I think I'm sleepy now too. "H-Hunter what time is it? Bed time?" I ask. "Almost, it's still a little early for bed time." He says. "Can still sleep e-early?" I ask, bed time was on my list of rules, maybe I'm not allowed to sleep early. "If you're feeling sleepy we can get ready for bed early. I think all three of you are needing an early night tonight." He says, and he's right! I look to see Reid with his eyes closed! I'm going to close my eyes too then!

"Buddy, open your eyes you goof, I know you're still awake." Hunter says tickling me. "Think you can hold some bags?" Hunter asks I nod fast. I'm strong like Nicky I can hold them all! He gives me two bags and lets me go inside first."Hey! Who m-make messy footprint!?" I ask seeing them everywhere! "What are you— oh." Hunter sighs. "Nick!" Hunter says so loud it hurts my ears. "It's my week to mop, but do I need to mop this or...?" Reid asks frowning, do footprints make him sad or does mopping make him sad? How come he gets a week to mop? I never get to mop and I'm so so so good at it. "No bub, you don't, whoever tracked all these footprints all over the house can mop it up." Hunter says. "Noah can m-mop!" I say. "How about when it's my week to mop, you help me okay?" Hunter says. I hope his week soon.

Hunters POV

"Nick!" I call out again, sending Reid and Aaron to go finish any homework they have. "Sorry Noah." I apologize to Noah seeing him jump at the loudness of my voice. "Hey, why don't you go upstairs and see if you find Nicky for me?" I say to him. "You think N-Nicky make footprints?" He asks and I laugh. "I'm not sure, I'm going to ask him." I say and he nods. "Noah find! No worry!" He says rushing off.

"Oh you guys are back." Bellamy says startling me. "Don't sneak up on people like that." I say. "Sorry, I'll remember not to scare my elders." He laughs. "Fuck off." I say giving him the finger. "How'd the run go?" I ask. "Good I think, he's not as agitated anymore, Spence even soaked him with a water bottle and didn't get hit, so I'd say the run was a success." He says and I nod, so that explains the footprints. "Thanks for going with them, I know he spent the day with Nick already, but I could tell if they spent anymore time alone together, one of them was gonna snap." I say. "Oh, yeah so Nick was definitely on the verge of snapping, after Alex got soaked, he purposely sat in the drivers seat, and Nick had to sit in the wet seat to drive home." He explains.

"But we all got home and everyone went to shower, so I think we're all good." He says. "Well it might not stay all good because I've got to call Nonna and find out what's up, and Nicks gotta figure out if he's going to have that chat with Soph." I sigh, he groans at Sophie's name though. "Hunter! I f-find Nicky!" Noah says, dragging Nick into the kitchen, who's still got shampoo in his hair and in a towel. Bellamy snorts seeing the shampoo, and I try not to laugh, but the annoyance on his face makes me lose it. "If it wasn't an emergency, you could've let me finish washing my hair." He says irritated. "A 'mergency! W-where!" Noah looks around alarmed. He's quick to my side, but specifically stands between Bellamy and I. "You silly goose, there's no emergency right now, but do you know what to do if there is one?" Bellamy asks, swiping him up.

His eyes widen and he turns to me panicked. A panicked Noah was not on my agenda for tonight. "Hey buddy, it's okay, you're not in trouble for not knowing. Why don't you go with Bellamy into the living room, and he can tell you all about what to do in an emergency? He's a police officer, so he knows exactly what to do." I say, and he relaxes a little, and nods. "Can I go rinse my hair before we talk?" Nick asks still annoyed. I roll my eyes but nod, and go to call Nonna.
