Six Years Later

"Wynn? Oh Wynn, come out come out wherever you are!"A young boy calls out in the middle of a deserted park. There was too much snow and the day was slowly coming to and end. Most children should be in the safety of their homes, snuggling up underneath heavy blankets. Well these two weren't like most children.

A loud giggle echoes around the park. The boy's swept over toward where he heard the sound came from. Tip-toeing across the white surfaces the boy goes toward a small kiddies tunnel. He could hear the muffled laughter getting louder the closer he got. He kept towards the entrance and poked his head with a load "BOO!" before grabbing the small child inside.

A little girl with untamed blond hair and big doe eyes squealed trying to get out of the boys hold."Awe no fair Blaze!"

Blaze chuckled settling his little sister down."Learn to be more quiet and you'd win. A few minutes more then you would've broken my record."Wynn puffed out her cheeks making a cute pout."Ah don't be that way, you'll win eventually. Maybe you can beat our baby brother-"

"Sister!"

"When they get older."With that being said Blaze takes his sister's small hand into his so they could head home.

They lived a tall apartment building near the playground and a walking distance from to the three schools in the area. The apartment was four bedrooms but to Blaze the way things were going they might have to move into a house.

"Papa, Pops we're home!"Blaze called out when they enter the apartment.

He helps Wynn out of her wet shoes and coat before she could step onto the clean carpet. He could already smell the aroma of Mexican in the air making his stomach growl and mouth water. Hurriedly Blaze takes of his oulwn wet shoes and coat and rushes towards the kitchen.

There by the stove stood his parents. His five month pregnant Papa helping with the food while his step-father guided him through it with his arms wrapped around his swollen belly. Blaze like seeing moments like these. It reminded him that he no longer has to worry for his Papa's safety from his own husband knowing fully well that Wade would rather die than harm his lifelong partner.

"Did you have fun?"Peter asks over his shoulder.

"Yeah! I almost beat Blaze but I wasn't quiet enough."Wynn sighed.

"Don't worry Wynnie-Bear, you'll be a great ninja someday."Wade encouraged.

It was no secret that Wade was an mercenary. But the man made sure that his work and private life were separate and in New York. Last time he took a five month trip to who knows where, Peter stressed to the point he almost lost Wynn. Wade didn't want that to happen ever again, pregnant or not.

"Oh a letter came in for you Blaze."Peter pointed to the fridge where a envelope magnate to the  door.

Finding it odd for him to receive any mail, Blaze flips it back and forth for any return address but found none. Cautiously he opens it. Inside is a piece of notebook paper with sloppy yet readable handwriting.

"Dear Eithan,

I know I have no right to write to you but I have reflected on my past mistakes and wanted to apologize. I have no excuse for my actions towards you or your mother, when laid off I blamed everything on Peter. I blamed him for changing my life,to quit my dream to have a football career,to having to support a family, to getting a low paying job. Everything.

It took me a long time to realize that I had everything. A roof over my head, loving husband and a beautiful kid. I regret my actions and I wish to see you. I am not pressuring you Eithan but please think about.
