Children?-

I probably apologize in advance for this-

Lo'pho and Kay were standing in the guildhall kitchen.Kay was cooking and Lo'pho was looking at some type of paperwork."Hey,Kay? Have you seen Bryan or Jakey around lately?"

"Uh,no I haven't actually..I saw Jakey once,he looked exhausted,but he said that he was just working really hard on something before rushing off." Kay explained without looking up from her cooking."Hmm...that is strange."

"Yeah it is.." Lo'pho thought for a moment."I haven't seen them lately either..what if something happened?! We gotta go find them! You said Jakey was staying at Bryan's house,right? So that's our first place to-" Just then,a little boy,probably only around 4,sprinted into the guildhall,giggling while out of breath.Bryan soon ran in after him,taking a quick moment to catch his breath before running after the child again."Liam get back here!"

"You can't catch me!!" Liam went and hid and Bryan went and sat at the island in the kitchen,catching his breath."Bryan! We haven't seen you in a while,what happened?!" Lo'pho asked.Bryan put a finger up,still catching his breath.How long had he been at this? Who knows."Me and Jakey have just been.." Bryan took another breath."Busy with work and such."

"That's what Jakey said too,you both look very tired.And who was that little boy?" Kay asked,finally looking up."His name is Liam."

"Well we got that much,but why is he here?" Bryan sighed when Jakey came walking in,holding a...baby? "Alright what is the meaning of this?! When did you 2 get children?!" Lo'pho asked,not really mad,more of surprised,or confused."Are you ready to tell them?"

"W-Well,yeah..we h-honestly should've t-told them s-sooner.."

"Told us what sooner?! You 2 are acting very suspicious!" Bryan sighed."Liam,please come out,or I'll count to 3 and you won't get cookies!" Liam ran out from his hiding spot into Bryan's arms.Bryan covered his ears."So,aheh,this is Liam,and the baby is Julia.Y'know that quest with the family that "the children were missing"? Well,uh,turns out that it wasn't anything like that..the parents were murdered and we saw Liam huddled into a corner hugging Julia."

"What?! Why didn't you say anything?!" Lo'pho asked."B-Because..uh..I-I dunno really.We've j-just been busy with Julia and Liam,and I-I mean we i-intended to tell you.." Jakey said,setting Julia down,who had been squirming in Jakey's arms trying to get down.She crawled over to Kay and pulled at her dress."Aww! They're both adorable!!" Kay said,picking up Julia."Yes yes they are but what are we gonna do with them?"

"I mean we could just continue keeping them here!"

"Well,yeah,but I dunno if Bryan and Jakey are ready to become parents yet!" Bryan and Jakey looked at eachother.Bryan uncovered Liam's ears and set him down to go explore a bit."Well," Bryan said as he did this,"They don't really have anywhere else to go...we already tried contacting any other family these 2 had but it didn't work out.And I think we've already grown attached to each other,ahehe."

"Y-Yeah! And w-we have the room,you k-know how big Bryan's house is" Lo'pho thought for a moment."I guess...it doesn't really seem like we have any other options at the moment,so sure! As of right now they can stay." Jakey and Bryan grinned at each other and Kay squealed a bit."I get to be an aunt!!" Julia giggled at this.(Keep in mind Julia's only about 9 months old)."Also,another thing...we gotta go see Divinus Magia.I heard that they're doing a bit better but I wanna see it with my own eyes." Lo'pho said."Didn't we give them a bunch of money?-" Bryan asked."Yes,yes we did.And they are in a lot of debt that I hope they're able to pay off."

"We might as well go now then," Bryan said."Are we gonna bring the kids?" Kay asked."I-I mean w-we don't really have a b-babysitter,soo..I-I guess!" Lo'pho pinched his nose."Aye aye aye,I hope one of them doesn't get hurt."

"I mean,you said they were doing better,right? I'm sure nothing will happen."

"Like I said,I hope not..let's go then."

Edit: hhHhhhhHhh- I forgot Alex existed- Soo uh let's just pretend it never said that aheh-
