Black Blood

Strays

*I don't care about my son?* I said repeatedly in my head as I laid on my bed for hours on end staring at the ceiling. The bedroom door opened,showing XiaoXing followed by Kris. "Eomma." He chimed happily stomping hi feet over to the bed quickly. He manage to pull himself up into the bed and crawled over to me,up into my lap. "We need to talk." Kris softly said as the pressure on the right side is the bed went down. "No. We don't. I'm selfless and you should know that by now,and don't need to get mad at me about it. When I say I'm fine,I'm fine." I tried not to raise my voice in front of Xixi because he's never heard yelling before. "Baobei,"Kris began as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder,pulling me into his chest. "I only got mad because I care more about your health more than I do about mine. I want you to be healthy so you can spend time with Xixi and our family. I wasn't mad for nothing." He added then kissed my forehead.

"I'm sorry I yelled." Kris mumbled and gently rubbed my back. XiaoXing began to fall asleep in my lap making me and Kris smile. I nodded in return just as XiaoXing woke back up crying and began reaching for Kris,wanting to be held. Kris gently picked him up out of my lap and began rubbing his back while shushing him,trying to keep him calm. "It's okay." Kris spoke softly ten kissed Xiao Xing's hair,still trying to calm him down. After a couple of minutes XiaoXing had fallen asleep against Kris's chest and his arms wrapped around his neck tightly. "Baobei," Kris whispered at me as I was dozing off. "Huh?" I responded and shot up,almost waking Xixi. "When are the others supposed to be here?" "I don't know,I think Kai said around 6 but you know how they are." I said and Kris nodded as he gently stood up. "I'm gonna put him to bed for now." Kris left the room followed by Kai entering the room. "They are here. For once." "Kai,be nice." I got up and followed Kai downstairs to the others,shortly followed by Kris.

"Where's Xixi?" Baekhyun asked sadly,pouting his lips. "Asleep for his nap." Kris answered with a smile. "Oh," Baekhyun started. "Do you know when he will wake up?" He added. Kris shook his head and shrugged slightly. "Here in the next hour or so." Baekhyun nodded with a smile as Chanyeol shook his head. "Grow up Chanyeol." Kai snorted ten walked in to the living room. Chanyeol groaned and followed after the others. Me and Kris followed after them and Kris sat on the chair then pulled me into his lap. "So,are you all busy or something? You never come over anymore." Kai suddenly spoke towards the others making them feel uncomfortable. "We just haven't had the time. With stray coming around the mansion now it hasn't been the easiest to leave." Suho snapped back. "Like you never have the time.." Kai mumbled under his breathe making Suho snarled. "That's enough!" I suddenly snarled at the two of them making them both jump then hunker down in their seats. "For god sakes you two,act like a damn family!"

Just as those words came out of my mouth,XiaoXing's cry echoed through the house. I let Kris up then he left the living room to go get him. "I'm sorry." Kai spoke softly with his arms crossed. "Don't Kai..you know better than that." "I know I do,but I would like to see my own boyfriend and brothers." Kai responded and hugged Kyungsoo tightly who was sitting next to him on the floor. "I would like to see them too,but if the have things to take care if. I would want the to get them done so they didn't have to worry about them." I answered. "It's not that we have things to take care of,it's just the fact that every time we get ready to leave. Strays come around and we don't want something happening to our territory." Suho said kindly. "See Kai? They need to do that before coming over. We would be the same way." I told Kai but he just nodded in response,still hugging Kyungsoo.

Kris came back down the steps a few minutes later with Xixi in his arms. Baekhyun noticed them and got all excited,bouncing up and down. "He's getting so big." He chuckled the words out. "Well yeah. Look who his appa is." I said pointing to Kris as he put XiaoXing on his feet. He looked around for a minute then ran with his arms open and a smiles on his face towards Baekhyun. He caught him in his arms making him giggle loudly. "Uncle!" Xixi chimed as Baekhyun ran his fingers gently up his sides. Chanyeol grinned from ear to ear at the cute scene and sis did Kris,and everyone else. Kris sat down on the floor between my legs,making Xixi want him. "Appa!" He yelled while reaching for Kris and trying to get out of Baekhyun's lap. Kris smiled brightly then pointed to Tao. "I to Tao,I know he misses you." Tao blushed slightly then looked at Xixi,smiling. "Tao!" He giggled then began crawling across Chanyeol's lap,then into Tao's. "Pana!" Xiao Xing yelled looked at Tao making everyone laugh. "Awe! That was so cute~" Lay laughed the words out while trying to contain his laughter. "What is a 'pana'?" Tao asked wiping his watery eyes.

"He hasn't got his 'D's down yet." I responded making Kai laugh even more. "He is a boy,I would hope soon." Kai laughed as I gasped. "Kai!" I reached over and smacked him on the arm. "Pervert.." Kai gasped at my remark and he looked serious. "How dare you?" "Now,now children. Let's play nice." Kris spoke still chuckling. I grabbed a pillow and hit him upside the rad,making him fall sideways onto the floor. XiaoXing did not like that. Xixi seen what I did and began crying for Kris and reaching for him,wanting to know if he was okay. Everyone stopped laughing as his cry filled the living room and Kris stood up. He walked over and picked Xixi up,trying to calm him down. "Shh. I'm okay. Eomma didn't hurt me." Kris softly spoke to him while he walked away to the quiet kitchen. "Does that always happen?" Xiumin asked an pointed towards the kitchen. I nodded in response. "Ever since he came home." "He really loves him." Luhan spoke softly. "Kris is just happy that he gets to be there for him,unlike his father." Luhan and Xiumin nodded in a agreement.

Kris walked back in the room with XiaoXing whose face was red. "Eomma.." He cried and reached out for me. "Come here." I took him from Kris's arms ten he sat back down. "It's okay." I rubbed his back,making him sniffle. "Someone's still tired." I sat him back down on the floor in front of Kris who reached up and tickled his stomach making Xixi giggle slightly and cover his stomach. "Ack on." XiaoXing threw his hands up in the air and ran for the kitchen. "What?" Chen asked confusingly. Kris chuckled and chased after him. "He wants something to snack on." I said as someone knocked on the door I got up and went to answer it but got stopped. "Don't answer it." Chanyeol so with his hand on the door. "Why?" "Shh. Strays followed us." After Chanyeol said that the scent hit me. I looked and seen the others running around trying to be quiet. Kris walked back into the living room as Suho ordered around. "Lock all windows and doors,turn off the lights,and be silent."
