Disclaimer: Don't own. If I did there would be a sixth and seventh season already. Ok actually, I'd just make it like this neverending show. That sounds fun to me. But I'm strange as it is. anway, on to the story,

Lex froze. It couldn't be. There was no way this intruder was Bray, but he knew it was true. Bray was alive.

Knowing he would be humiliated about this later, but not caring at the time, he launched himself into the older man's arms. Bray was shocked but still managed to catch the teen who he had come to think of as an annoying, younger brother in their more than a little dysfunctional family.

After a few moments they separated, both kind of embarrassed .

"So where is everyone?" Bray asked barely managing to suppress a yawn as he did.

"They're asleep. You're lucky I had guard duty tonight, if one of the new people had been here, you'd have had to fight your way in."

"I almost did."

Lex laughed and started walking. "Sorry about that, but we have to be careful now. Let's go inside."

Bray nodded, and they walked inside to the café.

"What's going on? I heard the alarm go off. Lex, who's this?" a tall, blonde man questioned as they entered the room.

Lex sighed and rolled his eyes in obvious annoyance. "This is Bray."

"Bray?" Jay asked with a confused expression.

The dark-haired man smirked as he realized that Jay hadn't made the connection yet. "You know, Baby Bray's dad." Bray froze.

Jay's face clouded with disbelief and anger but before he could say anything Bray interrupted.

"Baby Bray?" he asked slowly.

"Yeah, Amber named him after you. I could go get them for you, so you can see him."

Bray stared a moment at Lex wondering why the younger man was acting so differently from how he remembered him to be. He didn't think that all the niceness was caused by the fact he had been missing for almost a year. There had to be another reason, and Bray almost smacked himself when he figured it out.

"They're sleeping. Leave them alone," Jay gritted out, visibly angry with Lex.

Lex grinned and moved up the stairs towards Amber's room. "I'm sure she'd want us to wake her up for this." He hurried to get the girl leaving the other two men alone in the café.

They both sat at a table. Jay glared at what he considered his competition while Bray tried to ignore him, already seeing why Lex found it fun to aggravate this guy.

Upstairs, Lex was actually sort of polite and knocked on the door to Amber and Jay's room before entering. After a few seconds, the blonde girl opened the door and glared at him.

"What do you want?"

"I have a surprise for you in the café," he responded quickly.
Amber stared at him for a while trying to figure out whether he could be trusted this time or not.

"Will you just get over yourself and come with me? I promise you'll actually like this surprise."

She sighed and started to follow him out, but he stopped her.

"Um…grab the kid first."

"What? Why?"

"You'll see. Just get him."

Amber did as he told her and then followed him downstairs.

When they entered the café Amber was complaining about being woken up in the middle of the night, and Lex was complaining back about how "this was the last time he ever did anything nice for anyone".

Bray smiled at this remembering how he used to have to put up with it on almost a daily basis.

"Well, here's your surprise," Lex finally said moving to the side to let Amber see Bray.

When she saw him she stared in shock for a few seconds before being so startled that she almost dropped the baby. Lex being the closest to her was forced to grab Baby Bray from her to prevent him from impacting with the ground.

"Bray? Is that really you?" she asked in a quiet voice.

"Yes, it is. It's good to see you again, Amber," he replied and stood.

While Amber rushed forwards to embrace her old love, Lex struggled to keep from dropping the squirming baby.

"A little help here," he asked holding the baby away from him for someone else to take.

Jay moved to take the child, but Amber pulled away from Bray and took him first. Holding the child out to Bray, she smiled. "I'd like you to meet your son. This is Baby Bray."

Bray took the baby and held him in his arms, overwhelmed by getting to hold his son for the first time. Amber just smiled, and the two were completely oblivious to the look Jay was sending them.

Finally, Lex decided to break the silence. "So, when should we wake the others?"

I know. It's a slow start, but at least I finally have a plot line for this story. It's all written down in my notebook. As for where my notebook is, I have no clue. Oh, well. I'll update soon.

Please R&R. pretty please? Laters.
