Eric's POV
"What was the reason you wanted to help again?" I asked as Oliver huffed picking up a box in a green sweatshirt.

Oliver puffed out his cheeks blushing as he carried the box in. "I told you I just wanted to help out."

"So get good with my son?" I chuckled and he huffed placing the box down.

"Okay that...and to spend time with you." he mumbled and I smiled walking over to him then kissed his head.

Lenny came in with Van making a face. "Who is this man in front of us?" Lenny asked smiling and Cam chuckled as Oliver blushed while I rolled my eyes smiling.

"The same man you've known for a pretty long time." I said.

"A changed man." Lenny said and I grinned as he rolled his eyes now but was smiling.

Lenny glanced at Oliver and smiled. Oliver waved awkwardly before looking down. Van began to run his eyes.

"Ugh it was like just yesterday I was changing Vincent's diaper." Van said.

"Van." Marion laughed as she came downstairs with Vincent who groaned.

"Dad I'm in college do you have to talk about that?" Vincent grumbled as Sammie laughed and Nhemo hopped on his bacm.

We all ate fried rice with shrimp and Lenny was the first to finish and Nhemo had fallen asleep. Lenny excused himself heading outside. I raised an eyebrow as Van soon followed him. I began to get up and Oliver glanced at me.

'I'll be right back' I mouthed and he looked down nodding.

I headed outside but walked back a bit when I saw Lenny and Van in the porch.

"I feel like he's my nephew....he has the last name of me...and he resembles my sister slightly." Lenny said and I listened closer.

"Well maybe you should talk to Eric and Oliver about it. Eric knows about the boy and talking to the boy more directly could help Len." Van said kissing his nose and Lenny blushed nodding.

"Umm well I'm know detective but I can help." I said stepping out and Lenny jumped as Van chuckled.

Lenny huffed crossing his arms. "Don't do that, you scared me." he pouted.

"Oops." I said shrugging and smirking making him roll his eyes.

"Night boys!" Van said and Sammie and Vincent waved as we walked out to our cars.

Oliver was walking close to me. I chuckled softly shaking my head. "Your very anti-social." I said and it clicked in my head that so was Lenny

"Yeah yeah, not my fault." Oliver huffed as I unlocked the car.

Lenny ran over huffing and panted slightly. Oliver blinked and so did I.

"Oliver right?" Lenny panted and Oliver nodded standing close to me. "I um." he stood up. "Has your mother ever talked about having a brother?" he asked and Oliver raised an eyebrow.

"Mom never talks about her family, why?" he asked and I glanced over for Van to find him putting a sleeping Nhemo in the car.

"Oh.." Lenny nodded smiling sadly and I frowned. "Well it was nice speaking to you for a bit, bye you two." he said before going to Van's car.

Oliver and I eventually got in my car and I began to drive him home.

"That man is strange." I realized Oliver was talking about Lenny and I laughed.

"Not really, he's a nice guy." I said and he yawned.

"Well why was he so curious about me all of a sudden?" he asked.
