"What about Simeon?" It was quiet for a second as she turned the knob and opened the door.

"Let him burn." Harper said such malice it made the mobster shudder, with gleaming eyes she returned to the children heaving a heavy sigh she smiled.

"Have a good night guys." Closing the door the room went silent; the four toons looked at one another as Bendy shuddered again.

"How can someone so sweet be so cold?"

"Well he did torture her and her brother for years...." Abel said sighing as he ran a hand through his hair, Cross and Bendy glanced at one another.

"Yea but...she's so..."

"Innocent...and sweet...and loving..." Cross said blushing drawing Abel and Bendy's attention as Johnathan just sat quietly, rubbing his chin he glanced toward the door. After a few minutes the flaming toon stood up and walked to the door, Abel cocked a brow as Johnathan left the room.

"I'll be back I need to go check on the kids." Closing the door behind him he sighed thinking back to the source of Harper's pain and torment.

"My poor angel." He sighed again, walking down the stairs to her loft a gentle tune drifted down the hall making him hum in wonder.

Knock....Knock...Knock...no answer. Johnathan lightly wrapped his hand around the knob and turned it quietly; upon opening the door his eyes widened slightly before turning into a smile. On the couch Harper laid with Simon and Rosanna snuggled into her wings while her locket played its soft melody, smiling softly he took out his phone and snapped a photo. He let out a soft sigh before quietly closing the door to head back upstairs.

"How are the kids doin'?" Abel asked peering up from the table as he shoved a slice of pizza into his mouth. Chuckling lightly to himself, Johnathan took out his phone and passed it around the table; Abel and Bendy chuckled before handing it off to Cross whose face turned bright pink as he gazed lovingly at the photo of the little angel sleeping.

"You know Cross you should just tell her already, we all know you like her." Bendy snickered as they all looked at him.

"Well it's getting late; I'm going to head downstairs and get the kids and head home. We'll pick this back up again in the morning. Have a good night gentlemen...and Cross I'd tell her soon before someone else does." Turning on his heel, the flaming toon left Abel's loft walking down the stairs to Harper's apartment.

Knock...Knock....Knock.....Nothing still until the sound of creaking drew his attention as the knob turned and a very sleepy Harper greeted him in the doorway.

"Oh hello Johnathan....What time is it?" Smiling softly he glanced down at his watch.

"It's 10:30pm..." She nodde letting out another yawn as she ushered him inside.

"Oh well let me go wake them up then." Harper said walking over to the couch before gently nudging Simon and Rosanna awake.

"Come on darlings time to wake up, it's time to go home." Watching how gently Harper woke the kids he couldn't help but smile.

"H-Hey dad." Simon said with a long yawn, rubbing his tired eyes he stumbled over to his father's waiting arms before drifting off to sleep again the second his head hit his shoulder.

"Come on Rosanna time to go home and get you two to bed." Holding out his hand, the flaming toon waited for his little girl as she gave Harper one final hug before taking his hand.

"Bye Miss Harper," Rosanna yawned, gripping her father's hand tightly she smiled sleepily before waving good night.

"Good night Harper...Thank you again for watching the kids. We're meeting at Toon Palace in the morning." He watched as she nodded her head sleepily waving goodbye, he chuckled lightly as Harper opened the door and ruffled Simon's hair but he was fast asleep.
