A/N: Just as a note for all of my readers out there, there will be momentary pause between this update and the next. This due to two things; the first being that we here in the U.S. are dealing with it being the fifteenth anniversary of the terrible things that transpired back on Sept. 11th, 2001. #NeverForget, the second being it was quite hard to write this chapter of for multiple reasons.


Chapter Two

"We're home." Lily called when they had come into the loft.

Everyone else was already at the loft for the most part by the time Lily and Nicholas Javier showed up. The only ones whose arrival that was still pending was the grandparents and Nicholas Javier's family. Over the years; the four Castle kids were able to have some sort of a relationship with their paternal grandfather and paternal step-grandmother due to the fact that they had retired from the spy game.

"Welcome home, Lil." Kate said as she hugged her daughter.

"Good to see you again, Nicholas." Rick said as he shook hands with the young man he had known since the day Nicholas Javier was born.

"It's good to see you too, sir."

It was then that Lily had seen what her siblings and their significant others were up to in the living room.

"Home videos?" Lily questioned.

"Yeah." Jake and Reece said in unison.

Everyone could tell how happy Jake and Reece were when it came to the home video that was on the television. When Lily saw which home video it happened to be she completely understood her younger brothers less than thrilled demeanor.

"That's the video from last Valentine's Day isn't it?" Lily questioned.

"It sure is." Kate answered.

Last Valentine's Day; all of the men had decided to perform to MKTO's Classic as their gift to their respective significant others just as Kevin and Javi had performed to Daft Punk's Get Lucky for one of the precinct's talent show fundraiser a number of years ago. Lily saw the same thrilled look on Nicholas Javier's face.

"Let's start it over."

With that suggested; Jake's girlfriend of the past two years, Grace, had started the video over. Everyone sat down to watch the home video when it started up again.

"We should watch this tomorrow when your sister and parents get here." Lily commented.

In the home video all of the guys from Rick down to Reece were dressed to the nines just like Tony Oller and Malcolm Kelley who made up MKTO were in the music video for Classic.

"We definitely are." Kate, Alexis, Grace and Reece's girlfriend; Audrey said in unison.

Once the women of the house were in agreement, they could see the dismay in the guys' eyes. It was safe to say that the women got quite a kick out of all of this.
