Our little brother

Chapter 99

Hunters POV:

"You should go check on them." Nick sighs. "Sarah's checking on them right now, they're fine. I'm more worried about you." I say. "You have to believe me, we were careful, every time. Even when she had that scare a couple years ago." He says, pleading with me to believe him. "Check your box. Make sure the ones you still have aren't tampered with. You've said for months now that she's been bringing up having a baby, maybe she tried to make sure of it." I say and his face pales. "I think I'm gonna be sick." He says getting up and rushing to the bathroom.

"I bet she went off the pill and didn't tell him." Bellamy says. "This could get really really bad if it's real." I sigh. "We cant have a potential custody case alongside Noah's official custody status and the fucking trial all happening at once. That on top of the gala coming up, Sophie's vindictive, she'll throw everything at us." I say. "Fuck." Bellamy says. "Yeah, fuck." I say back.

"I'm gonna go make sure he's not like choking on his own vomit or anything. You go check on the boys, seriously, Sarah's great with them, but it was Spence and Seb."Bellamy says and I sigh, getting up. I really hope they didn't hear much, but I'm sure they heard more than enough.

I walk into Spencer's room and jump, seeing Aaron sitting up, with a blanket cocooning him. "I think it's raining." He mumbles, and I see Spencer's window open. Clearly how he knew to listen at the top of the stairs. "Go back to sleep okay?" I say and he hums as I close the window.

I peek in my room and see Noah bundled in the entire blanket, and Alex hugging him like a teddy bear. I take a quick picture before I head to Sebastian's room. "If you're not going to explain what happened downstairs then I don't want or need to talk to you right now." He says bluntly as ever.

"Seb, listen—"I start but he cuts me off. "No." He says turning his back to me. "Fine, we don't have to talk now, but we will talk about it okay. Once I have all the information necessary, I'll explain everything to you." I say. "Okay." Is all he says.

Next I peek into Nicks room to find Spencer and Reid. The way Reid's breathing, tells me he's asleep, and the way Spencer's body tenses, I know he's only pretending to sleep. I decide not to let him know I know, and leave the two of them, plus Nick and Bellamy will be up soon anyways.

"Coffee tomorrow morning?" I text Nonna, if Sophie isn't mature enough to have an adult conversation, I certainly will be. I need to know what she told Nonna that differs from what she told us. She replies with a yes, and that she'll meet me at my office at 9:30am.

Breakfast is tense. Sebastian and Spencer are acting suspicious as hell, and Alex is narrowing his eyes between the two of them, also feeling the tension. The only normal conversation going on is Noah animatedly explaining his dreams last night to Reid and Aaron, who are both extremely invested in the dream.

"Then find d-dinosaur! In Spencer closet!!!" He says. "Nicky say back w-way, but dinosaur c-come closer!" He continues. "And then! Sebby say no real! You stink!" He says and that sentence is the one that breaks the tension.

"EX-tinct Noah, not stink, dinosaurs are extinct. That means that dinosaurs are no longer alive." Sebastian kindly clears up Noah's confusion from everyone's little laugh. "Dinosaurs ex-tinct and s-stinky in my dream!" Noah says sassily. "I think it's just Spencer's closet that was stinky, not the dinosaur." Nick says, the first thing he's said to the boys all morning. Noah bursts into a fit of giggles, while Spencer scoffs.

"Okay okay, come on, Bellamys taking my car and dropping you all to school, I need to head in for an early meeting." I say, ushering them all up from the table. "Wait! When Atty c-come back to school?" Noah asks with a frown. "When he's not sick anymore." I answer, handing him his backpack. "Nicky sick too?" He asks, seeing Nick not dressed for work. "Kind of, but that just means you need to have an extra good day for him okay? I love you." I say kissing the top of his head before letting him run out. He turns around and makes a heart with his hands at me.
