Tyne's P.O.V.

It had been three years since I had any trouble from my dad. I was living in a new home with Fletch. We had had a little boy who we named Tahatan meaning hawk as he was always watching everything. He was two and a half now and he loved exploring with his sisters. It was winter now and it was completely white outside. "mama? Can I go play in the snow?" Tahatan asked. "not till daddy goes with you or I'll lose you in the snow." I said. "no you won't! Pwease!" he begged. "okay. Take ya sisters with ya though." I said and got him dressed. He nodded and ran off and came back with Taya and Kara before they disappeared outside into the snow. Tahatan looked at the snow and jumped disappearing into it. I smiled watching from inside. I headed out to get more wood for the fire while they played. Fletch came out and smiled watching them. "daddy! Come play!" Kara called out. "okay." he said and went over grabbing Tahatan who squealed. "argh! Put me down!" he said giggling. He smiled and put him down and looked at him. "how about we have a snow fight?" he asked and he nodded. "Okay. Let's go." Fletch said and Tahatan nodded. They build up some walls and got ready for a snow fight. I got back with my jacket covered in snow and Kara smiled. "it's a snow-mummy!" she said and Fletch looked up and cracked up laughing. I sighed and shook it off walking inside. "come play mama!" Taya called out. "in a minute!" I called out. I got the wood inside and lay it down. I walked out and Kara decided she'd draw for a while. I took her place and I sat down in the snow and help Taya make up some more snowballs. Fletch looked at Tahatan and smiled. "tip this on Taya or mummy. You choose." he whispered handing him a small bucket of snow and Tahatan nodded. He came to the wall and peered over the top of it and tipped a small bucket of snow down my shirt. I froze and spun around. "daddy told me!" he said smiling and I got up and glared at Fletch. "Fletcher Jason Kowalski! I want a word with you." I yelled. "shit! I'm in for it now." he murmured and walked over. "what?" he asked. "you're nothin' but trouble." she said crossing her arms. "hey. I gave him an option between you and Taya. He chose you!" Fletch said. "yeah. Well you are a pain in the ass." I said. "whatcha gonna do about it?" he asked smirking. "you won't have me tonight." I said. "fuck you." he murmured glaring at me. I smiled and walked past him and her jumped on me pushing me into the snow. "get the fucking hell off me!" I hissed and he smiled. "not till you say I get you tonight." he said. "fine! Just get off me!" I said and he got up only to have us both fall in the snow with the kids on us. I sighed and Zack pulled up and got out. "havin' fun you two?" he asked smirking. "Shut up." I snapped and he laughed. "how's Cal and Nicole?" Fletch asked. "Cal's fine. Preggie again. Nicole's finding it hard not havin' me home all the time." he said. "wow. You and Cal work fast." I said and he hit me gently. "whatevs." he murmured walking into the house picking up Tahatan and we followed with the girls getting rid of the snow.

We got inside and Zack looked at us. "so, what were you doing in the snow?" he asked. "Fletch told Tahatan to drop a small bucket of snow down my shirt so I ticked Fletch off and he pushed me into the snow and the kids jumped on top of us." I said. Zack laughed. "If I were you Tahatan. I would've done a big bucket over her head." Zack said smiling. "Don't tell him that! It's bad enough Fletch gives him bad ideas! You're supposed to be the uncle on my side!" I said and Zack smiled. "Sometimes." he murmured sitting on the couch. I shook my head and went into the kitchen to make some coffee. "you really know who to get her pissed off don't ya." Zack said looking at Fletch. "what can I say? It comes naturally." he said and Zack laughed. "right. Just like not doin' anythin' constructive." Zack said. "exactly...WAIT! You take that back!" Fletch growled. "Nope. I can say what I want." he said and Fletch crossed his arms. Zack smiled and Taya and Kara giggled. "and you two can be quiet." Fletch said and Kara threw herself on him. "why?" she asked looking at him. "cause I don't need you two agreeing with ya uncle Zack." he said tickling her. "argh! Stop it!" she squealed trying to get out of Fletch's grip. "nah-ah." he said and Taya climbed up behind him and lent over. "please daddy?" she begged. "so you're on Kara's side are ya?" he asked and she nodded. Fletch grinned pulling her down onto his lap as well and tickling her. "mummy!" Taya called out. "shit! Don't get ya mum in on this!" Fletch said and I walked out. "Fletcher. What are you doing to them?" I asked. "they were laughing at Zack saying that I didn't do anythin' constructive and he wouldn't take it back. I told them to stop laughing and Kara wanted to know why so I tickled her and then Taya." he said and I rolled my eyes. "immature children." she murmured and Fletch glared at me. He got the kids off his lap and followed me into the kitchen pushing me against the wall. "I'm not immature. Your just no fun." he said. "oh really?" I said and he smiled kissing my neck gently. "except for when I get you by yourself in bed." he murmured and I smiled.

I took some coffee out to them and we had just sat down when the phone rang. I answered it cautiously. "hello?" I asked and then smiled. "yar. He's here alright." I said. "yep. Bye." I said and hung up. "who was that?" Fletch asked. "you'll see." I said and Fletch and Zack looked at each other. A minute later there was a faint knocking at the door and I opened the door and smiled. "he's in the lounge." I said. She nodded and ran into the lounge. "dada!" she said jumping on Zack. "Jesus!" he said grabbing her. "how about some warning next time huh? So daddy doesn't have a heart attack." he said and she sighed snuggling up to him. "did you come here yourself?" he asked worried. "yes." she murmured. "why?" he asked sitting her up. "mummy went up to the hospital. She blacked out and so I called Jackman who took her up to the hospital." she said sobbing. Zack grabbed his keys and ran out the door putting her in the car. We got our kids into the car and raced off behind Zack.

We pulled up at the hospital and ran in. Jackman was at the desk waiting for us. "what's happened to Cal?!" Zack growled stopping in front of him. "I don't know. I'm still waiting on Brianna." he said. We waited a minute and Brianna came out. "has Miss. Shiraki been sleeping properly?" she asked. "as far as I know. She's goes to bed after me most nights and is up before me." Zack said. "why?" Brianna sighed. "she's over exhausted that's why she blacked out." she said. Zack looked at us and then back at Brianna. "you can go and see her. She's awake now." she said and Zack took Nicole down to Calley's room. He walked in and Calley was looking out the window. "Cal!" he said running over and hugging her. Calley hugged him back and he pulled away looking at her. "have you not been sleeping?" he asked and Calley looked at the window. "I haven't slept for ages. I can't sleep." she said and Zack hugged her. "you should've told me." he murmured and Nicole lay next to Calley. We walked in and she looked at us and smiled. "and how are you lot?" she asked. "we're alright." I said and Fletch rolled his eyes. "maybe for you." he said and Calley looked at him. "what's up Fletch?" she asked motioning for him to come over to her. "Zack said that me not doin' anythin' constructive comes naturally and Tyne's been mean to me." he said sitting next to her. "oh. Poor Fletch. Don't listen to them, we know what the truth is don't we." she said smiling and Fletch grinned. "yep. At least someone cares about me." he said glaring at Zack and I and we smiled. "if you say so Fletch." I said and he nodded snuggling up to Calley. Calley smiled hugging him and Zack eyed Fletch for a minute. "alright kiddo. You keep Cal, I'll take Tyne." He said and Fletch sat up and glared at him. "Tyne's mine!" he growled smirking. "then can I have my girl back?" he asked and Fletch thought about it and then nodded. "I already know she's the only one cares about me." he said. "we care about ya dada." Tahatan said. "that's nice." he said picking him up. Calley giggled and Zack sat down next to her nuzzling her. "you had me really worried. Nicole turned up at Tyne's house herself and then she tells me you blacked out." he said. "I'm sorry." she murmured. Zack sighed kissing her cheek. "when can you come home?" I asked. "as soon as I'm back to normal. So about half an hour." she said. I nodded and we stayed there till she was able to go home.

After a while, we headed back to our house. We sat down in the lounge talking while the kids ran off to play in the basement. They got down there and pushed some empty boxes against the wall and then stacked some on top of each other. It was peaceful until we heard a scream and we ran down to see the empty boxes on top of them. "what happened?" I asked as Zack and Fletch got the boxes off them. "we tried to put them on top of each other." Nicole said. "but they fell." Calley giggled and I smiled. "what did you want them on top of each other for?" Fletch asked. "we wanted a castle." Tahatan said. "how about if daddy helps you?" I asked. "okay!" they said. "and Zack can help too." Calley said. "what?!" they both said. "and what about you two?" Fletch asked. "feel like a coffee Cal?" I asked. "yes." she said. "let's go get one and leave them to work." I said and we walked off smiling. "typical." Fletch murmured and Zack rolled his eyes. They helped put the boxes up and made them a big castle in the basement. "there you go. One castle." Zack said. "yay! Thank you dada!" Nicole said hugging him. The kids ran into it and Fletch smiled. "first time I've ever built a castle." he murmured and Zack nodded as they walked out. They came out and Zack sat in one of the chairs next to Calley and Fletch sat down hugging me from behind snuggling up. "So, now that ya dad is gone, what are ya gonna do now?" Zack asked. "I don't know. I've never had him gone so I'm kinda enjoying now." I said. He smiled and there was a sudden knocking at the door. I got up and opened the door and saw Calari and Shad standing there with Reuben. "hey! Haven't seen you in ages." I said smiling. "that's cause it's not safe for us to come out but we had to tell you." Calari said. "tell me what?" I asked and the others looked over at me curiously. "It's bad news." Shad said softly. "what is?!" I asked worried. "Kaikarah's alive." Reuben said and I stared at them and I heard Zack let out a growl.

I don't own anyone except my OC's, Taya belongs to shegrathefluffycommander, and Tahatan belongs to me!
