Arsen smiled, "We're clear then?"
He lifted Callie when she stumbled in the sand, carrying her on his back.
~~~~
Shadow grinned, ruffling Eryn's hair, "So, you still want to finish that book? I've heard its a good ending."
He pulled gently on the blindfold still around her neck.
"This doesn't get you out of training. You still have to be up at the usual time. Your rewards will be different though," he grinned.

"Yup," Jaenelle agreed as she slung Melody up into her arms and took Var's hand in her own. "They're apparently done 'for now.'"
The happy family clomped up onto the deck, shaking hair their hair out like dogs and grabbing towels that were hanging off the railing.
"All right, kids, once you're done drying off, go jump in the bath tub and then it's bed time," the ex-Huntress warned. "And, if you're really good, maybe you can get Papa to read you a bedtime story!"
The kids cheered excitedly, tugging on Arsen's clothing before racing inside, dropping clothes as they went.
~~
The shifter blushed again before playfully teasing, "I'd be interested in finishing if you'd show me some of the stuff mentioned in the book."
Then Shadow's words sank in and Eryn groaned, flopping backwards onto the bed as she realized that her body was going to be getting put through a lot of rigorous exercise in the next few weeks. Though, she really was looking forward to the rewards part of the werewolf's promise.
"Really?" she whined, poking Shadow in the side.

Arsen groaned, "You do that every night."
He leaned in and kissed her, smiling. He walked in, picking up clothes as he went, "You think that means were going have to kick them out?"
Arsen took the clothes back into the laundry room and dumped them in the basket.
~~~~
"Be more specific, little one," Shadow grinned, "There's alot I suppossedly did."
He curled against Eryn, wrapping his arms around her, biting at her neck, "Yes, I mean it."

Jae looked up at the ceiling speculatively where Eryn's bedroom was. Right now, it seemed like the cat and wolf were keeping their promise to be good, but ehre was no telling how long that would last.
"We might have to kick them out....but, I kinda like living together with everyone," the ex-human said thoughtfully, walking behind Arsen and then reaching out and wrapping her arms around him from behind. "I like all of us being together as a family."
~~
Eryn giggled at the bites, sighing in pleasure before glaring balefully at Shadow through golden eyes.
"Well, there's a couple of scenes I think you would find rather.....interesting," the shifter murmured softly, kissing along the werewolf's jawline before biting him under the ear slightly painfully in punishment for making her wake up early. "Unfair... I'm sleepy and want more," here she licked the bite mark and started teasing, him underneath the sheets before venomously biting out, "sweetheart."

"I meant if they wanted more fun while the children sleep" Arsen smiled, turning to kiss Jaenelle, "I like us all here. We're a family."
The First smiled down at his mate, listening to thier children splash in the tub and shouting.
~~~~
The werewolf grunted softly, "Nngh. Tell me about it."
He wormed a bit, "You'll just have to get used to it. This won't change that I'm teaching you."
The werewolf flipped her and pinned her, kissing the shifter, "You should rest now."

Jae grinned up at him serenely; Arsen just got it sometimes, like now, and that always made her feel happy. Then her smile turned wicked.
"Soooo, are you going to come upstairs and help me supervise bathtime?" she asked teasingly, sliding her hands under her mate's shirt and teasing his sides with her claw-like nails.
~~
Eryn took Shadow's weight gracefully, sliding her hands around his back and enjoying his kiss before she pulled away and looked up at the werewolf beseechingly, golden eyes plaintive.
"I know that you're still teaching me and we have to get up early, but can't we at least have one more round before we go to sleep?" she asked, hands roaming a little lower with each word. "Just one more?"
~~
The cloaked watcher sighed. Waiting for everyone to get to sleep was boring, boring, boring.

Arsen gave a soft groan and kissed her again.
"All right, I'll help," he smiled, grabbing her hands.
~~~~
"Now, now, if I go one more round, you won't want to stop," Shadow said, "And, we'd have to leave so the children can sleep. Besides, between your yowling and my howling, Jae's bound to get mad.
"Not that they're quiet," the werewolf grumbled under his breath.

Jaenelle grinned, grabbing his hands and tugging him up the stairs towards the bathroom. Her eyes widened though when she saw the bubbles foaming out from under the door.
"JOSHUA! CALLIE! LUCIVAR! MELODY! WHAT DID YOU DO?" she screamed, ripping the door open to be confronted by a wall of white bubbly foam and the kids' insistent giggling. For a moment, the vampiress just stood there stunned, "Oh my god."
~~
Eryn poked him in the side again, teasing, "And you would know so much about being quiet yourself. All stealthy and everything. C'mon Shadow," she pleaded, "one more time tonight and I promise I'll be really quiet. It can be like a game!"
Her eyes lit up and she pushed herself up to kiss him.
"First one to scream loses."

Arsen stood there, blinking in shock, then growled. The First was a very patient man, but when his kids made a mess, he was not.
"Kids," he snarled, "Get out here. Don't make me come in there."
Water splashed and there were wet footsteps on the floor.
~~~~
Shadow started to speak, then heard Jaenelle scream and Arsen's snarl.
The werewolf sat up, "... Seems like you have to wait. This means your rewards will be better tomorrow."

Var peered out of the foam first as Josh and Callie wisely hung back from their father's wrath before skittering back towards the tub when they saw how incensed their dad really was. Of course, Melody, who'd they'd helped into the tub, had never left it.
"Um, are we in trouble?" Lucivar asked curiously, staying just outside his Papa's reach.
~~
Jaenelle just stared at all the bubbles, aghast.
"How did you manage to do this in two minutes, Lucivar? You guys were only by yourself for two minutes!" Jaenelle growled dangerously, trying to see where Callie and Josh had disappeared to. "You are in sooooo much trouble, mister. You don't even have to ask."
~~
Eryn grumbled a little, but was too curious to see what all the commotion was about to complain too much. She shot out of bed and went to rifle through her drawers, picking up some basic underwear and then a pair of tight fitting breeches and a loose shirt, easy to move in. In a flash, she was next to the door, yanking it open and peering down the hall towards the bathroom.
"Well, c'mon!" she told the werewolf huffily, starting to walk out the door. "If we're not going to stay in bed, we might as well see what's going on. It sounds really good!"

Arsen pinched the bridge of his nose, "Where in the world did you get enough soap for this?"
His arm shot in and be pulled out Lucivar, "Callie, Joshua. Get out here. And your sister."
Lucivar whined, clawing at his father's vice-like grip on his arm as his siblings emerged.
~~~~
Shadow got up and pulled on his pants, "... Do you smell soap?"
It had been harder to smell over the scent of the shifter and werewolf, but was growing stronger.
"Whats wrong?" Shadow asked, pulling the door open.

Jaenelle glared at the children, reaching out to grab Melody and pass her to Arsen while she grabbed both Josh and Callie's arms, dragging them out of the soapy mess.
"What in hell's name were you thinking?" she snarled.
~~
Eryn looked at the scene and collapsed into a fit of giggle against the wall.
"Oh. My. God." the shifter managed to squeak out, looking at the absolute chaos that had erupted out of the upstairs bathroom. The laughing earned her a hard glare from Jaenelle, but the giggly cat could not be tamed. "Well, what did you expect from a cross between you and Arsen?" The glare doubled and, if possible, become even harder.

Arsen snarled, holding Melody with one arm, "Get dressed. Now."
Lucivar squeaked, darting off once his father let him go.
~~~~
Shadow tugged on Eryn's ear, "Hush."
The werewolf stepped forward and took Melody, "Want help cleaning?"
"Oh no. Once they're dressed, they clean," Arsen growled.

Jaenelle released Callie and Josh slowly, letting her vice like grip go and the two kids looked at her nervously before dashing off down the hall to go and change. The vampiress looked at the mess with trepidation and nodded fervently, baring her teeth in a silent snarl. "They are definitely cleaning." ~~ Eryn growled at him for yanking on her ear, slowly getting a hold on her giggles and standing upright to stare at the mess in awe. These kids were good at getting into trouble. The shifter reached out and ran her hands through the bubbles in amazement before blowing her handful of fluff into Shadow's face. "You have to admit, they're evil little geniuses." (I have amazing friends. I felt like I should just mention that randomly )

"Evil little genious," Arsen snorted, "Grounded! For at least two weeks!"
"Messy," Shadow sighed, waving the fluff away, "Two weeks?"
"At least," he growled, crossing his arms over his chest. The werewolf sighed.
The children hesitantly came back, dressed in pajamas.
"Get cleaning," Arsen ordered.

Lucivar looked at the stuff, unsure how to begin while Callie sighed softly before wandering downstairs to grab a mop and some rags. Josh just stared at the problem and then glanced between his mother and Shadow uncertainly as he figured out a quick fix to the problem, not sure if they would like it.
~~
Jaenelle caught her son's look and nodded towards the mess.
"Hurry up, that mess isn't going anywhere. The faster you clean, the more sleep you can get," the ex-human told her very naughty child.
~~
Eryn laughed at Shadow, coming up to stand next to him and trying to fix her face into sterner lines as she looked down at the kids, but failing slightly. She had to admire the ingenuity in their evilness for just a minute before she got as mad as the parents in this situation.

Arsen gave an exhausted growl and walked by them, heading to bed.
"Papa's mad..." Lucivar muttered.
Shadow shuffled Melody in his arms.
"I don't know how such little kids cause such a big mess," the werewolf sighed.

Jaenelle looked after Arsen worriedly, then over at Eryn and Shadow.
"Could you maybe watch them for a little while?" she asked, a little nervous that her mate might tear the house down. "I promise that I'll be right back, but I'm...worried about him."
Then she took off down the hall, not waiting for an answer because she knew that both of these people knew how dangerous Arsen could be when he got in a mood. She didn't have time to look back and see what her kids were doing before she dashed through her and Arsen's bedroom door, looking around for where her mate was.
~~
Callie watched her mom rush away before looking at Lucivar like he was stupid. "Of course he's mad, look at the bath...." her eyes started glowing an iridescent red and her head snapped around so that she could growl at Josh. "What are you doing? Why are you using my power?"
Her twin nine-year-old brother grinned, "Don't you want to be done with the cleaning already?"
Then he focused, grabbing Callie's hand and stretching their combined hands out and as he did, a wind whipped through the bathroom, shoving the soap suds out through the open window and into the dark night sky and, conveniently and unbeknownst to the twins, onto the watching stranger before continuing on its merry way to the sea. When it was done, the twins glanced guiltily over at Shadow, not sure that he would condone using their powers to clean the bathroom when Arsen had been so incensed at them moments before.
~~
The stranger in the cloak spluttered as it received a mouthful of soap scum and then turned to glare at the house. What the fuck?

(Oh my God! That made me laugh so hard!)
Arsen was standing quietly by the window, his arms crossed as he watched the sunrise.
He shifted his weight and leaned in the frame. He sighed and blew some hair from his face.
~~~~
The werewolf sighed, "You two... Honestly. Josh, what has your mother told you?"
"Not to use my powers," the boy sighed.
"Or mine," his twin added.
"Right. Now, let's head to bed," the werewolf bounced Melody in his arms.

(Hahah, I'm glad!!!)
Jaenelle slipped up behind him, wrapping her arms around her mate slowly and laying her head on his shoulder. Her mouth gently began kissing along his shoulder until her lips were massaging his bite area and her fangs were carefully pricking the skin, but not going in completely.
"You okay?" she asked, mouth still pressed against his skin as her hands ran up and down his chest.
~~
Eryn looked at the kids speculatively and suddenly realized just how much power these children would carry when they grew up and were able to wield their power to its fullest. But, for now, her eyes slitted in pleasure as a purr began to rumble deep in her chest; for now, they could help her play some devious tricks on her new lover. Yes, especially for stealing her book earlier, maybe he deserved a little bit of a tease.
~~
Lucivar looked up at Shadow unhappily. "Really? We cleaned up really fast! Can't we have a story, Uncle Shadow? Pleaseeee?"
Callie immediately chimed in, tugging on Shadow's shirt insistently and looking up at him with her cute puppy dog face. "Yea, Uncle Shadow, pleaseee one story!"
Melody waved her chubby fist and whacked Shadow on the side of the head, making babbling noises that meant she wanted attention. Josh simply grinned, knowing that even their Uncle couldn't stand up to an onslaught from three different sides. So, instead he focused on their Aunt, looking up at her with wistfulness written all over his features.
"Please Aunt Eryn, if you say so, Uncle Shadow will definitely read us a story!" he begged.

"Mhmmm... Yeah. I'm fine," he said, leaning his head back.
"... Their mess get cleaned?" Arsen purred, closing his eyes, "Or did you not watch?"
~~~~
"No," he winced as Melody hit him, "Bedtime. Come on. Eryn, don't."
He carried Melody down the hall with Callie and Lucivar clinging to him.

"Mmmm I left Uncle Shadow and Aunt Eryn in charge," Jae murmured, smoothing her lips over his skin a little more and then sinking her fangs in about halfway before pulling them back out and kissing down his neck to his shoulder blades. "I was worried about you."
Her small hands slid under the edges of his shirt, drawing intricate patterns up his sides and stomach.
~~
Eryn looked down at Josh who was staring at her so beseechingly and nearly gave in, but instead she grabbed the nine year old and slung him over her shoulder, grinning as he began laughing and hitting her on the back playfully. The cat stomped down the hall, swinging the nine year old side to side as she walked towards the twins' bedroom.

Arsen groaned, "Nngh... I see... Well, we should go to bed..."
The First grinned, pressing into her hands.
~~~~~
Shadow set Melody in her crib before slinging Lucivar into the bunkbed and tossing Callie on her single canopy bed.
"Time for bed," the werewolf smiled.

Jaenelle grinned into Arsen's neck before grabbing his hands and yanking him over to the bed. Using her vampiric strength, she pushed him down onto their bed, her hands already busy pulling Arsen's shirt over his head and her mouth already ghosting over his collar bone and neck again.
"I'm hungry," she murmured into his skin before pulling her head away for a moment as she yanked the First's shirt over his head and showing that her green eyes had bled into a familiar, hungry bloodred.
~~
Eryn laughed, continuing to stomp over to the bunkbed and then tossing Josh up onto the top bunk, giving the little boy a kiss on the forehead before leaning down and doing the same to Lucivar as she quickly tucked both boys in. The shifter then wandered over to Callie and began straightening the covers and getting the little girl settled, giving her another kiss. As she stood up, she glanced at Shadow to see how he was faring with putting Melody down.
"Mkay, darlings, time for lights out."

Shadow had bundled Melody and laid her down. The little girl smiled at him, giggling.
"Bed time."

Jaenelle toyed with Arsen's skin a little more, running her tongue over it and worrying it with her fangs and making it tender; her hands trailed up and down his sides before one fisted in his hair, yanking his head back as the other slid down to his hips. The ex-human licked the now extra-sensitive bite area and finally slid her fangs into Arsen's skin. The red eyes closed in enjoyment as the exotic, coppery taste of her mate's blood slid over her tongue and she sighed softly, letting her body sink down to rest fully on top of his.
~~
Eryn closed the blackout curtains over the window and the rising sun before retreating to the doorway, waiting for Shadow so that she switch the lights off. Her eyes drifted over the kids fondly, watching Var's eyelids droop and Callie and Josh reach out towards each other and reflexively try to grab onto each other's hands even though they were halfway across the room from each other in a ritual left over from when they still shared the same bed. Then her gaze drifted to Shadow and Melody and her heart burned, seeing Shadow watching the little girl made her feel fluttery inside and her face melted into a smile.
