Virgils POV

When we got back to the door between Imagination and the Mind Palace, Roman carefully wiped his hand across the door, to see if it was hot, then cautiously touched the handle. He must've found it cool, because he turned and pulled, bringing us back to the Mind Palace.
It was a mess. I mean, it was to be expected that it wouldn't look good, but... it looked worse than even I expected.
The fire had messed up the walls, the carpet was ruined... but according to Roman, it would heal in a few days.
"Wow... is this what the Mind Palace always looks like, Anx? Or is this where the Dark Sides hang out? Cause then I totally understand why you left them!" Kingsley asked each question without room for answers.
"No, it doesn't always look like this King. But, if you ask me, it does resemble where the Dark Sides live." I said, and the 5 year old giggled.
"Really?" Ro asked.
"Of course not... it looks worse." I said.
Suddenly, without warning, we were attacked!
With bone-crushing hugs from Patton.
"Kiddos! There you are! I was so worried!" Patton exclaimed as he hugged us.
"It's fine, Pops. Anyway, Kingsley, this is Patton. He's your... grandfather. Patton, this is Kingsley, whom me and Roman are adopting." I said, with a smile as I took Ros hand.
"Aw! You're adopting a kid? That's an awesome idea!" I could tell Patton was happy, especially when I said that he was Kingsley's grandpa, but that he also wanted a child, and knew Logan would say no.
"Yeah... it was all Virge's idea, actually." Ro said.
"Well... yeah, it was." Then, I quickly explained what had happened to Patton.
"Oh, the poor kiddo! And don't worry, of course he can stay! We just need to figure out where..." Patton trailed off, deep in thought.
Suddenly, Logan appeared.
"Salutations, Roman, Virgil. Who is this?" Logan asked, looking at Kingsley.
"Logan, this is Kingsley, an orphan me and Ro are adopting. Kingsley, this is Logan, your grandmother." I said, and smiled, trying not to laugh as Logan's face turned as red as Crofters jam.
"W-what? I have no blood relation to this child, or you, and am most certainly not a girl!" Logan exclaimed.
"Well. I already said Patton's the grandfather, so..."
"It is possible for him to have 2 grandfathers, you know." Logan said.
"Of course I know. But, you're more of a mom than a dad." I said, and walks through the door with Kingsley, showing him around the damaged Mind Palace.
"And this is the kitchen, where the fire started..." I said.
"Cool! Is there cookies?" Kingsley asked. Patton, who had been following us around, spoke.
"There was, but I think they're burnt... c'mon, kiddo! I have some in my room!" Patton said, going to his room, Kingsley following.
Roman, who had also been with us, wrapped his arms around my waist.
"So, now that the kid's gone..." Ro said. I smiled, and kissed him, but just a peck.
"You never know who might walk in." I said, laughing at his face.
"Fine." Roman said.
"Remember, we always have when he falls asleep..." I said over my shoulder, as I started walking down the hallway to make sure Kingsley didn't eat too many cookies.
The door to Patton's room was open, and I could see a pack of cookies open between them.
"How many have you eaten?" I asked Kingsley.
"Not that many..." he said, evasively.
"Patton?" I asked.
"He's had 10 already..." Patton said, 'sorry' plastered all over his face.
"Kingsley! You know how late it is, and how you get when you eat sugar before bed!" I said.
Suddenly, Roman was beside me, whispering in my ear.
"Well, aren't you quite the protective parent? Making sure he can get a full nights sleep, and all." Ro whispered. I wanted to kiss him, just to get him to stop, but Kingsley was there.
Ro noticed, and said, "See what it's like?"
Dang...
"Yes, but I don't take that rule back." I said.
"Sorry, Anx.... I'll stop now." Kingsley said, finishing his cookie, and moving the pack closer to Patton.
"Good. Now then, it's already..." I looked at the clock on Pattons wall, "8 o'clock. You better get to bed, King."
"Uh, where's he going to sleep?" Ro asked. Right, I forgot.
"Well... maybe... Patton, would you mind moving into Logan's room? Your room should be able to keep most nightmares away, being the happy place it is."
"Yeah, that'll work." Patton said.
We quickly moved all the necessities from Patton's room, and made a smaller bed appear, and Kingsley quickly fell asleep.
After Kingsley fell asleep, me and Roman went to bed, by this point it was 10 PM, and I was too tired, but I knew that Kingsley woke up late, so I knew we'd have time in the morning.
So, I laid down, and Princey cuddled up next to me. And, as per usual when sleeping with Ro, I slept great.
Until the memory appeared.

Yeah, cliffhanger. But, it's 12:56 AM, so I'm just working on anything really to write down, then I wanna fall back asleep...
I know, it'll never happen, but I mean...
Remy just hates me.
Anyway, see y'all in the next part.

BYE KIDDOS!!!!! (If you don't know this one... no words)
Goodbye. (Logan)
Adios! (Roman)
Bye. (Virge)
Sorry, my Sides took over... BAI!
