A Home For Me And You

●Chapter 1●

Virgil's P.O.V

I sat next to Remus while chewing on Taran as he used colour sticks to add colour to his picture book. I saw a blue spider and started to follow them. As I did so, I quickly glanced down at mama, he's making another colourful liquid. He says I shouldn't climb around on what he calls a roof but it's okay if I crawl on the floor, and this roof he speaks of is a floor. So it's okay. I continue to follow the spider outside of the cave and towards the forest, Taran and blankey in my hands while I chewed on the paci in my mouth.

Thomas' P.O.V

I sighed as I walked through the forest with map in hand. Roman and Patton had asked me to help them with a faerie infestation. I heard a baby giggling and looked around. I carefully trudged through the forest towards the sounds of the child. When I finally located it, I saw a baby with purple based clothing and items, black hair with purple tips and four spider legs protruding from its back as it followed a blue tarantula. I let out a high pitched scream so high it barely made a sound. The blue spider dashed off and the humanoid spider baby started to cry it's eyes out. I started to panic and tentatively picked the baby up. "Hush little baby don't you cry..." I sang hesitantly while holding onto the child's small form. I looked down to see that the child was sleeping in my arms while holding onto a purple blanket and spider stuffie. I picked up the child's pacifier and placed it in their mouth. I noticed that the blanket had a name stitched into the corner with silver threading. Turning the blanket so I could see, it read Virgilious Arachne in beautiful cursive. I looked down at the small defenseless baby spider and made a vow. I would never let anyone hurt them. I looked around the forest before covering the spider limbs with the blanket and keeping their eyes hidden by my shirt. I quickly ran out and got in my car with the baby in my lap and drove home. As soon as I arrived home, I grabbed my phone and called Roman. "I'm sorry, but something came up and I can't help you and Patton anymore" I said after greeting Roman over the phone. "What happened?" He asked with worry in his tone. "Someone left a baby on my front porch and I need to drop them off at the orphanage" I stated. We said words of parting before I hung up the phone. I sighed in relief before calling up Joan. They might know something about taking care of babies. I heard a whine and looked down at Virgil. They were staring back at me with four eyes. Their left being vibrant green while their right being a vibrant purple. I sighed before sitting down on my couch and placing them in my lap. I heard the sound of Joan's voice through the phone and pressed the speaker button so I could put my phone on down. "Hey, Joan. By any chance do you think you could buy some baby supplies? I found a baby in Serpant Valley and don't know what to do" I asked hesitantly while letting Virgil play with my hand. "Sure, I'll bring Talyn with me" they said. "Thanks, I owe you" I chuckled as Virgil put my hand in their mouth and started sucking on it. "What do baby spiders eat" I wondered aloud before turning my attention to the phone. "Did you just say baby spider!" Joan yelled out in surprise. I quickly turned off the speaker and put the phone to my ear. "You were not meant to hear that, but I guess you were gonna find out eventually" I sighed. "So you mean to say that you have a baby arachne in your home!" They shouted. "Yes..." I said carefully. " We are leaving now and you better explain properly when we get there!" Talyn yelled out. They must have snatched the phone from Joan. "See you soon" I mumbled before hanging up and turned my full attention to Virgil. "Do you wanna watch a movie?" I asked while removing my hand from their mouth and placing them in a sitting position on the couch. I put Sleeping Beauty on and sat back down next to the Virgil and fell asleep.

~Thirtey Minutes Later~

I awoke to crying and looked at the screen. It was the scene where the Prince killed the dragon. Fuck. I scrambled for the t.v. remote and turned off the movie before turning around and scooping Virgil into my arms as they wailed with silver tears leaking from all four eyes. I internally berated myself while rocking them back and forth while singing all the nursery rhymes I could remember. I heard a knock at the door and walked over while rocking Virgil in my arms. "I wan Mama!" I heard them yell out through their tears and patted their back while looking at the screen showing that Joan and Talyn were outside my door. I quickly opened the door and let them both in while Virgil continued to cry. "Help me" was all I could say before Talyn grabbed Virgil from me and started patting their back while walking around until they called down. I sighed in relief mouthing thank you to them. "What happened?" Joan asked worridley. "I put on Sleeping Beauty" I said while picking at my fingers nervously. "Why would you let a toddler watch that! You don't know if they have any dragons or serpant like friends/guardians!" Talyn scolded while hugging Virgil to their chest. I nodded like a kicked puppy and reached out to grab Virgil from their grasp. "I'm sorry, Virgil" I said quietly while the nuzzled their head into my shoulder. "I wan Mama" they mumbled while clenching my shirt in their fist. "Can you tell me who your family is?" I asked calmly while Joan and Talyn watched. "Mama is nawga wich an ReRe is she wich" they said sadly while staring at the gay pride flag on my wall. "Who's ReRe" I asked while looking at my friends who were discussing something between themselves. "ReRe is browther" They mumbled tiredly. I smiled before starting to sway side to side. I needed to get this little baby to bed. I slowly started to walk upstairs to my bedroom and moved the blanket aside. Setting Virgil down, I situated four pillows around them so they don't fall off. I went downstairs and grabbed their blanket, stuffie and pacifier before returning upstairs to give them the spider, put the pacifier in their mouth and place the blanket on top. I smiled down at the adorable sight and took a picture. I put my phone back in my pocket and headed downstairs to my two friends.

~Forty Minutes Earlier~

Janus' P.O.V

I sighed in relief as I turned away from the couldron to see Remus napping in the play pen and Virgil nowhere in sight. Wait! Virgil isn't there! I shot over there as fast as possible and double checked. Not there. "Virgilious Arachne Witch! When I find you will be in so much trouble young man!" I hissed out in panicked anger. Remus shot up awake from his nap in terror. Looking around and noticing the lack of younger brother only causing him to bawl out in tears. I quickly scooped up my eldest child and began to calm him down. "Mama, how do we find VeVe?" He mumbled with a mix of sadness and tiredness. "We'll cast a locating spell" I replied. I returned to my cauldron and coiled my tail beside me before placing Remus in the center to allow him to sleep. I bottled up the spell I just finished before casting a cleanliness spell to rid the remnants of the previous potion. I rolled up my sleeves, grabbed the ingredients and got to work on creating the spell that will locate my son. I will get him back, even if I have to kill a few people in the process.

Roman's P.O.V

I smirked over at Patton. "It appears that Thomas just found what we were looking for" I cackled. Soon we would have one of the most powerful monsters in our grasp. "I'll call Logan, he'll sure to want to be able to run tests on this monster" Patton cackled adorably. I leaned down and kissed my beautiful husband. "Don't forget that we have to go to Lights HQ for a business meeting tomorrow" I reminded him while he was fished out his phone from his vest pocket.
