Luke's P.O.V.
All the kids were asleep on the couch around me. It'd been ten minutes of family movie night after an extremely long day.
"Daddy?", Bella whispered, laying on Brayden's chest as his head laid in my lap.
"Yeah babe?"
"Are you still mad?", she asked, looking up at me with her big blue eyes. I shook my head,
"No. I wasn't mad. I just need you guys to listen to me."
"I know. We're sorry."
"I forgive you." The kids had all decided to hide grade cards from me, thinking if none of them had it they could pretend they didn't get it. Except Damon's kids all had theirs. Now all the kids slept with tear stained cheeks and sore butts.
"Can we just stay here tonight?", she asked quietly.
"Yeah love. I'm not gonna wake everyone up just to move to beds." She nodded a little as I sighed, "But we could pull out the hide-a-bed." She nodded quickly, getting up as Brayden woke up too,
"What're you doing?"
"Pulling out the bed.", I explained. He nodded, gently picking up Zayn's sleeping body and moving him to the other side of the couch. Our couch was a sectional and each one had a piece of the hide-a-bed, like a puzzle. Little by little, we moved sleeping kids and pulled out the bed until everyone was sprawled out on the mattresses. I sighed, throwing blankets over everyone before laying down myself as Brayden and Bella landed on either side of me.
"Night.", Brayden yawned.
"Night kids."

"Awe.", I heard Ash say softly.
"We gotta wake them up.", damon said.
"Luke.", Ash shook me gently. I sat up a little,
"Yeah, I'm up."
"You guys have to all get up. It's visitation day."
"Great.", I muttered.

"Nona!", Eli exclaimed, running over to his extremely old grandmother and her nurse. She hugged him carefully,
"Hi baby. How are you?"
"I missed you."
"I missed you too baby." I left them in the living room, along with Brayden and his siblings, who were here a lot anyways.
"Do-Do you know if she's coming?", Zayn asked me softly.
"I'm not sure baby. I'm sorry." He shrugged,
"It's fine. I-I don't really expect her to." I nodded a little. "Zach's mom is in the kitchen. Damon's eavesdropping." I nodded going into the kitchen as a well dressed woman glared at me,
"Can we have some privacy?" Zach looked at me, practically begging me not to leave them alone.
"I can't leave you alone with him for more than ten minutes at a time ma'am. It's the rules." She rolled her eyes, handing me a stack if money,
"Now go." I handed it back,
"I don't want your money. I want him safe." Zach lit up as his mom looked back to him, sighing,
"You can come home when you change. You need to do better in every sense."
"I don't want to go home. I will self sabotage my entire life over and over if it keeps me here and far from what you call home. You're anything but my mother." She raised her hand to slap him as I stepped in front of him,
