Six thirty. Three black bags sit on the table, along with two stacks of paperwork. The others should be showing up shortly for the meeting he had called, but he wasn't worried. He was busy feeding Ella, which was always entertaining.
"No, Ella, the fat rodents don't need you to feed them." He pulls her hand away from the gliders' cage, tossing the food in her hand in the sink.

Date: 9 Sep 2005 23:45 (UTC)"No, we're not going to starve them, and Lil's not here so I can call them whatever I want. And do ever plan on taking that thing off?"
no subject
Date: 9 Sep 2005 23:53 (UTC)"Yep, right after he gets me another."
Brazenly he sticks his tongue out at Jason, glancing at the door as there's a knock.
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 00:00 (UTC)"Why are you knock on the door of your own house?"
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 00:04 (UTC)Biting at her lip, her mind racing to the million places this gathering could be about. Stepping in and then spotting Zane. Duckign her head, cheeks going bright red.
"Hey.' Grinning from ear to ear though, slinking over to drop beside him on the couch.
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 00:07 (UTC)Watches and grins, then heads back to finish feeding Ella.
"Jase will be here in a second, he went to grab pizza."
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 00:11 (UTC)"We'll entertain ourselves Dad,' he leers before turning and tickling at Em.
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 00:23 (UTC)"Behave, kittycat."
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 01:00 (UTC)He grins and picks up Ella, taking her into the kitchen to clean her up.
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 01:07 (UTC)Sticks out his tongue, tugging Em up against him once more.
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 01:46 (UTC)Jase kicks the door shut behind him, two pizza boxes in his hands. Sets them on the table and goes to the couch, curling up on the other side of Em.
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 02:05 (UTC)"Mmmm, missed you.' Leaning over, kissing him tenderly.
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 02:21 (UTC)"Missed you too, baby."
Moving quickly, he pulls her into his lap and snuggles against Zane, putting her legs over him.
"Mine."
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 02:59 (UTC)Cuddling close to Jase, laughing as Zane leaned close, his hands kneading along her thighs.
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 03:05 (UTC)"Well, that's one worry off my mind."
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 04:14 (UTC)"So what's this about, Jason?"
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 04:27 (UTC)He sets the bags on the coffee table.
"Inside each of these bags is a laptop. Over on the table is some paperwork for you and Em.
You guys are going back to school."
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 04:41 (UTC)Sitting up straighter, yanking back the connection suddenly from the boys.
"I am not going back to highschool. You try being the mutant freak."
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 04:47 (UTC)"First of all, we're family, which makes Gabe and I the heads of the household.
Second, mutants don't exist in Greg's world, which if I was going to make you go back to an actual school at this point, that's where you'd go."
He rolls his eyes.
"Now, if I may continue? Everything is set up so that you and Zane can catch up through an online tutoring program. Once you're caught up, you can continue with it or go back to a normal high school. Your choice."
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 05:00 (UTC)"If we don't want to do this?"
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 05:05 (UTC)He sighs, shaking his head.
"Look, I'm offering you a deal. You finish school, I'll pay for you to go to whatever college you want."
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 05:19 (UTC)Sighing, curling over onto her side and cuddling her head down between the boys' shoulders.
"I'm used to a life where the only choices are what they want or what they want. I just wanted to know if we have choices."
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 05:24 (UTC)"And you're paying for me to go back to college as well?"
Is quiet for a moment, then answers.
"I guess, it's a decent deal."
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 05:27 (UTC)"I'm in,' Em murmurs, looking down rather than at Jason.
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 05:42 (UTC)"All you two have to do is sign this stuff. I've already set up IDs and history for the three of you, so you're legal in Greg's world."
He smiles at Em and Zane.
"Besides, if Key can do this, you can."
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 05:50 (UTC)Pushing the pen at Zane, waiting as he signed as well.
"Happy?' Asked softly as if she were the spokesman for the group.
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 06:00 (UTC)He shakes his head, looking at Ella.
"I'm doing this for you guys and Ella. 'cause if something were to happen to Gabe and I, you three are on your own, and probably going to end up taking care of her."
He looks at Zane, watching him.
"And we take care of our own around here."
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 06:15 (UTC)"Please."
Shoulders slumping, Em looked to Jason.
"He says he's taking care of it. He doesn't want to bother you guys. And he's sorry for not answering but the pain's really bad right now and he's afraid if he opens his mouth, he'... Stop it Zane!' Yanking her hand away as he obviously squeezed down to stop her.
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 06:22 (UTC)Turning his head, kissing Zane's shoulder as he reaches for Em's hand.
~Em, baby, are you okay?~
Pulling her hand up, kissing it as his other hand slips under Zane's hoodie, fingers brushing along the leopard's skin.
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 06:38 (UTC)~Just hurt. That's all. I'm okay.~
Looking back up at Jason, almost defiant. But not at the wolf.
"He's scared. Of Gabriel and of Elizabeth?" Saying the name softly, unsure. "And he's worried that Gabriel will kick him out for craving it again."
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 06:42 (UTC)"She's dead. And you and Gabe need to talk about this. Soon."
Sits on the arm of the couch, watching them.
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 06:58 (UTC)"Don't! And she's not. I was there. I couldn't k... Sh'es....'
Hope shining so bright in his eyes.
"Really?"
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 07:03 (UTC)"Part of the blood district went boom. Person went back to check afterwards, she and several key others are dead."
Looks at Zane, concerned.
"Told you we'd keep you safe. As for the other, tell him. He'll understand. More than you know."
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 08:10 (UTC)"Shhhh, baby it's okay." Murmuring it softly, stroking the boy's shoulder as she glances at Jason.
no subject
Date: 10 Sep 2005 08:14 (UTC)"He needs to do it, Blondie. He's never going to get over his fear of Gabe if he doesn't talk to him. And you have an hour before you need to be home."
Turns and heads for the girl's bedroom.
