Jack moaned in awful pain, his stomach growled for more food. He was still so hungry, but the yetis said same portion sizes Jamie had been feeding him for safety reasons. Jamie only nodded in reply to what they said as he slowly began feeding Jack his next meal. Jack desperately ate but it occurred to him that they wanted him to slow down as a yeti told Jamie to tell him to slow down and more would come. Jamie nodded, looking over at Jack, careful to make sure he didn't eat too much too quickly. He pouts and eat slower.

"Mmm."

"I know love, it's frustrating, but it's just until you're healed." He nibbled a bit more at each bite but the yetis made him curve the bigger bites into smaller ones. Jamie helped with that by feeding Jack bites. Jack whined but continued to eat until a yeti told Jamie to stop feeding him. That it was all for now; when Jack only got four or six bites of his food he protested.

"MM! MM!" He reached for it but the yeti pushed his hands back and pointed to the heart monitor as well as the cholesterol level monitor; showing how high of a level he was at. Jack pouted, folding his arms in anger. Jamie sighed and gently ran a hand through Jack's hair in a soothing gesture, but when the yetis left the two of them alone Jamie smiled a little and gave Jack two more bites before sealing off the rest of the food for later.

"Don't let 'em know I spoil you, okay?" He smiled happily before sighing tiredly. Jamie smiled back before starting to hum a soft tune for Jack to fall asleep to. He twisted and turned a little but exhaustion took over faster than a snap. Jamie continued to hum even after Jack had fallen asleep, hoping to inspire good dreams with it. Good dreams indeed did come as he was pretending to be a famous mountain climber and he was scaling Mount Fuji and then Mount Everest. Jamie eventually dozed off himself. Jack smiled in his sleep; now he was a horse now galloping across a beach, funnily enough, with Jamie on his bare back. One of the yetis comes in to check on Jack only to drape a light blanket over Jamie. Jack purred as he was now a sugar glider, running across tree tops. Jamie woke an hour later, a little surprised to note the blanket; Jack woke seconds later.

"Mmm."

"Hey snowflake." Jamie smiled a little, shifting to place a kiss on Jack's forehead. He tried speaking but it was weak at best.

'"H-h-hungry... I love you."

"I love you too. I'll get you some food." Jamie got up from the chair, he was sore but he didn't do anything but stretch before going to fetch Jack his food. Jack looked worriedly after Jamie, wishing to help him. He came back with the food.

"What's with that look?"

"Nothing." His voice was hollow from lack of speaking; he smiled and kissed his nose when Jamie was close enough.

"Come now, I know you too well love." He replied, returning the kiss before holding out a bite, waiting for Jack to either eat or speak. Jack smiled, taking a nibble of the bite.

"I just want to help you sometimes." Jamie smiled a little as he fed Jack.

"You don't need to worry about me love. I'm fine, probably shouldn't have fallen asleep in a chair, but I'm alright. I promise." He looked at Jamie with a sad smile.

"You need to eat too." He took another bite.

"I'll eat after I'm done feeding you." He kissed Jack on the nose before holding out another bite. Jack smiled at Jamie, happy, and continued to eat until he felt full. Now that he was full he was sleepy again. Jamie stored the remainder of the food for later and got himself something to eat though he didn't bring it back with him; eating it in the kitchen before returning to the room. Jack sighed, he was watching news.

"Children are crying here around the world, looking for the supposed guardian Jack Frost. At least what the kids say who is this Jack Frost, is he human? ... No they say he makes the snow, back to you Gerald."

"Thanks Tim, here around the world expected snow has not come; its been blazing hot for three and half weeks. Where is the snow!" Jamie winced then looked to Jack.

"Guess I've been more negligent than I thought..." He sighed.

"I'll have to spread some snow so they stop complaining about the heat." He kissed Jack's forehead.

"I'll be back soon." He took off to spread snow around the world. He hadn't thought the summer spirits would take advantage of this... it was time to set things right again before this got too out of hand. He watched as Jamie took off and then continued watching the news; it turned to static and he continued just watching that.

Roxas hugged Emma as he thanked her for helping him on his project.

"You're welcome love." Emma said with a smile, ruffling his hair.

"Now I think it's time for a snack. You've worked hard enough."

"Mm, okay, when will daddy and papa get back?" He asked again for the third time this week.

Jamie flew over the globe, spreading snow where it needed to be and chasing away any summer spirit that needed to get back to the other hemisphere.

"I don't know sweetheart. They didn't tell me what was going on." Roxas looked down sadly.

"I miss them" He said yawned as he finished his snack.

"I know you do sweetheart. I miss them too." She hugged Roxas before settling him down for a nap. Roxas slept for a while until his form changed to his demonic appearance.

An elf and a yeti come into Jack's room to see him watching the fuzzy white screen of black and white gone haywire and not even changing or turning off the TV. The yeti warbles worriedly at Jack at seeing that. Jack was just shedding his fake skin; he was so used to it now he didn't even care what he looked like anymore. The yeti isn't surprised by this though the elf is for a moment before just staring. It's late in the evening when Jamie returned from spreading snow. Jack looked at Jamie and smiled, his canines showing first before the rest; this freaked the yeti and elf out a little.

"Calm down you two. He's not going to eat you or anything." Jamie said as he settled in a chair nearby.

"I'm back love, sorry that took so long."

"It's okay, I just like watching the screen snow a lot." He gestured to the fuzzy screen with white black and grey specks. Jamie chuckled a little at that, getting the idea and shoos the two out of the room; he then settled down next to Jack on the bed. He looked back at Jamie.

"We should go home to Roxas soon, he must be worried sick."

"Yeah, we'll go tomorrow."

"Okay," he looked around. "I guess I could read a book."

"Anything in particular you want to read?"

"The book of physics would be nice."

"Interesting choice, let me get it for you." Jamie replied and left to fetch the book, it didn't take him too long to find it and he handed it to Jack. He smiled.

"Thank you." He opened the book page1: Physics is not something you can just grasp right away it's something you learn.

The book said off in the beginning, he became immersed and tested a few of the lessons at the end of the chapter.

"Hmm, why does water fall that way if it falls this way the next drop..." Jamie had no interest in the subject so he simply relaxed next to Jack and soon enough dozed off. He calmed down after having finished the book; he wasn't sure what else to do. Jamie had curled one arm over Jack in his sleep, his head resting against Jack's shoulder. He did know he was gonna protect his family forever. Jamie didn't stir until the next morning. Jack stretched as Jamie yawned.

"Mm."

"Mmmm... time to go home before he throws a fit."

"If he already hasn't thrown one yet."

"Yeah." Jamie agreed, stretching with a yawn.

Roxas was crying and running around in upset fury, needing to see Jack and Jamie.

"Ready to go?"

"Yup." Over the bond Jamie was telling Roxas to calm down while Emma was trying to get him to calm down as much as possible.

Roxas couldn't stop crying though, he hadn't seen them in a while... Emma did her best to comfort him.

Jamie slipped from the bed and went over to the window, opening it and floating out. Jack followed suit.

"Boy he's gonna be primal when we go hunting, might even hurt me a bit."

"Let's hope not. I mean I know he hasn't been hunting in a while but I'd think the spoils of the last hunt would help keep most of that at bay." Jack nodded as they flew to their home; he just hoped Roxas didn't unleash his demonic tendencies to eat on Emma. Emma wasn't scared of the boy really, or what he could do since she could defend herself well enough; Jamie sighed as he landed at the cavern's entrance, opening the door that had been fashioned near the entrance at one point.

"Roxas? Emma?" He called. Roxas was actually biting on a stick Emma held as she was baking.

"In the kitchen!" Emma called back. Jamie headed into the kitchen.

"Hey son."

"Dadff, papffa." He said between nibbling and holding onto the spoon, caught between nibbling and wanting to let go of it as he was hanging by the former spoon. Jack smiled.

"Alright, we see your hungry; let's go get you some food." Roxas growled viciously, wings out claws in a spray; Jack looked back at Jamie.

"Vicious and primal like I said." Jamie sighed.

"Well, guess no time like the present to learn some self control then. Roxas, let go of the ... stick."

"Was a spoon." Jack looked at Jamie and back at Emma.

"Come on R-" he was already out flying before Jack was. "-oxas." Jamie just shook his head while Emma went back to cooking herself something to eat, adding a bit more to it so there'd be enough for Jamie too.

Before Jack found him, he find three dead bodies; a woman and her baby, Jack nearly threw up because he never went for the youngest... and a man that obviously tried to protect the woman and her child before he too was attacked.

"R-roxas." A wagging tail and strips of meat in each claw signaled he was eating and would attack Jack if he got any closer to the hunted prey. Roxas simply finished his meal before lunging after a cat next that happened to come over to see what was going on. It ran, yowling before it became food. Jack jolted in shock and picked him up by his wings as he struggled to nip him. Jack glared at him, his demonic status overruling his own.

"You will listen now, we do not eat babies; only babies are spared, older children such as teenagers are different. You go for the ones that obviously want to be eaten, never eat the innocents." He had made a rule for every one of his demonic clan to not eat children that were innocent only the ones that weren't were eaten. He then set him down and allowed him to eat before he took a leg off the cat, ignoring his hissing for taking the best part of it away. He ate the rest then flies off, looking for the next one. Jack followed close as he attacked more and more people only to sigh.

"Reckless." Hunger drove the little demon. Jack looked at the time on a clock tower as they basically rounded it; eventually he had to force him to stop.

"Son, time to go; the sun is coming up." He ignored the face the boy was biting; unknown to him Jack had been picking meat out of each kill and bagging it. Ignoring his hungered look, Jack held him close to his chest and took off for home. On the way back though his hunger was overcome by another factor... sleep... and he was out like a light. Jack smiled and filled his fridge with the meat collected.

"Goodness he was starved, nearly ate my arm getting him to slow down." Jamie shook his head a little.

"Guess the leftovers wasn't enough, must have needed some fresh blood or something." Jamie said quietly as he took the sleeping boy from Jack, cleaning him up a little before putting him to bed.

"Me, I'm still starving from having been fed so little while healing." He said, annoyed and dove into his bag taking out an entire arm and eating it.

"I'm not surprised." Jamie replied, sticking into the freezer the bag he'd taken from North's that he'd used to keep what he gave Jack as fresh as possible.

"Why were they feeding me so little; it's not like I'd die or something."

"Because you would have puked it back up otherwise. You physically weren't able to handle it those few days."

"Yeah well I feel fine now." Jamie chuckled a little.

"That's because you're almost completely healed now."

"Yeah, but my stomach feels like a warzone; after all they did just cut out a new species of parasite from my stomach." The yetis had said it was new because they'd never seen such a giant parasitic monster that big.

"No surprise there." Jamie replied.

"Probably will feel like that until you're completely healed."

"Still it was disgusting to find that thing, but how did it get in there?"

"No one knows."

"True, but it would be nice to know where and why." Jamie nodded, agreeing to that. He turned to Emma who's just finished cleaning the dishes.

"Thanks for everything Emma."

"No problem."

"Wait... where's Merix?"

"His father picked him other day."

"They weren't any trouble were they?"

"Nah, perfect little angels." Jack laughed out loud at that.

"Sorry it's just they're opposite in blood line to that." Emma chuckled.

"Yes, well having wings doesn't make me an angel. So I know all about that." Jack winced.

"Don't bring him or any of it up please it's bad enough that I didn't know before but I still don't want to remember."

"Him? No no... ANGEL gave me these. Don't think I'd ever work for that piece of shit before him." Jack slammed his fist on the table, just the mention got his blood boiling hot; of the other, not Angel but the other before him.

"Don't mention or even think of him in this household." His eyes glowed red and he left the room.

"Oh for heaven's sake!" Jamie shook his head a little.

"Yeah... he still has issues with... ah..."

"Yeah, I can tell. Anyway, I'll see you later Jamie."

"Bye Emma, thanks again." She smiled a little and left. Jack sighed, curling his wings around him like a shield when Jamie came in the bedroom. It was inevitable. Jamie didn't like thinking about that time anymore than Jack did. He lightly ran his fingers along Jack's wings, the touch delicate and loving. He seemed to sigh at the calm, gentle touch and his wings tensed less; unfolding like gentle doves. Jamie shifted to slip his arms around Jack once the wings had moved out of the way. Jack smiled at Jamie, gently he kissed him; Roxas had gone to bed long time ago and Emma having left as well. He rubbed Jamie's side a bit sensually.

"Mmmmm..." Jamie murmured into the kiss, it had been a while since they'd gotten some time alone like this or taken the time really.

Jamie groaned slightly as he began to awaken... oh man was he sore... but it had been more than worth it... He smiled even as he slowly pulled himself from the bed. Jack smiled, having cleaned the room twice; 'cause of it Roxas was just making breakfast.

"Mmm morning guys, made you breakfast." Jamie had a shower to help soothe his aches and clean himself up more before Roxas came in. He smiled at their son, a little surprised though.

"Where and when did you learn to cook?"

"Internet." Jack looked down at him.

"When were you on the internet?"

"Last night, I woke up cause of you two doing it and well I walked out to get water... and yeah I heard that papa forgot to put a silencing spell." Jack blushed so bright that he looked like a smurf.

"Uh, never mind what happened well what did you cook?" He smiled.

"Eggs benedict." Jamie groaned.

"I thought I refreshed that spell..."

"Love don't worry what he heard doesn't really mean anything, after all they did get an early session of what it is."

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I want my son hearing ME." He replied, thoroughly embarrassed. Jack nodded.

"Well let's just be polite and eat his probably messed up egg." The egg was not at all messed up, it was perfect; Jack looked down at it, far more perfect then he figured he could ever cook.

I think this kid is gonna be a chef when he grows up... Jamie replied over the bond as he sat down and ate the breakfast Roxas had fixed them.

"Very good. You just may have found your calling in life son." Roxas blushed hard.

"No, it's just something I learned online." Jack smiled.

"It's better than I could ever do, great job." He said after having taken a bite. Jamie smiled a little.

"Kiddo, if you can cook this good now, chances are you can be famous when ya get older. If you want."

"No, you're just saying that; it's bad isn't it... overcooked." He said, beating himself.

"No, its better; its amazing son. Don't think of yourself any less of a cook okay? It's amazing what you did and you can do more if you put your mind to it." Jamie set his fork down a moment.

"Son, neither of us would lie to you like that. I don't believe it's right to tell someone, especially a child, that something they made is more wonderful than it actually is because how would they learn what is good and what isn't? You have talent here, if you made a mistake I'd have told you so. Your father and I want to see you succeed, but we aren't going to lie to you."

"Oh... um, I also got another thing to ask you and..." He blushed hard, how could he tell his parents he'd had a dream... or fantasy, of his best friend last night? Jamie glanced over at Jack, wondering what he was making of this.

"Of course son." He had no idea what their son was about to ask. Jack waited for him to talk but he only continued to blush more and more. Jamie patiently waited, sipping at his juice as he did so. Jack looked down and took a bite, suddenly wolfing it all down in gulps.

"Mmm." His son looked at him with a deep blush.

"Well, I umm... nevermind. Enjoy breakfast, see ya." He said and zoomed out before either of them could ask.
