Chibi: Hello!! This is chapter 2, it took me a while longer, because I had to work. My goodness, I made a work-week of 34 hours!! I've never done that before. And yes, this might be just a little bit for all of you, but for me and my little job, this is a lot!!

Miroko: Poor one. -hugs Chibi-
Chibi: Thank you --hugs back-- And also: I wanted to thank every reviewer. At the end of this story, I will summon you all up and we can have a big party!!

Chibi (again): This is chapter number 2. I hope some will like it. This is more a chapter of meeting a few new people. I'm thinking of a lot of fun I can do with these people!! haha --evil--

Warning: A LOT OF OOC!! If you wish to kill me for it, wait until I'm dead, thank you. I must say that if you wish to kill me, then do it Yami's way in a story I read. It's called: I hate mondays. :) We all know how to solve that, especially this writer. The story is from Ashray1, and I highly recommend you to read it. It's a lot of fun.

Also, I'm working on chapter three. All my chapters will be short, but that means a quick update, ne?

Home.


Solomon Moutu turned the key and opened the door quietly. He sighed softly at seeing Atemu still asleep and he smiled, closing the door once again.

He smiled at seeing his little shop still clean, although dust had gathered around a little bit. The floor was tiled with blue tiles. The walls were painted white. Solomon sold books, games and souvenirs to the tourist, but also to the people who lived originally on Avalon.

The past few days and nights had been exhausting. His team of friends and archeologists were dead and burried in Avalon, the land were their family lived. With trouble he had convinced his other teammates where Atemu came from. With some vague words of water and shock he had convinced them, not really remembering what he had said. And he had been having nightmares. Where those dreams came from, Solomon didn't know, but they all started with water.

Solomon sighed content when he settled down in his small livingroom on the sofa. His house was small, he knew, but it was big enough for himself. The only thing left to do was cleaning up a room upstairs and place the little crib, he had bought, upstairs. Shopping had been quite a problem as well, Atemu didn't like one bit of it. And the boy was constantly thirsty or hungry. It almost seemed as if the boy was drying out.

Thinking this might had something to do with the smaller one crying out for him. Solomon sighed. He never had children. Now he knew why, but then… Everytime again, when he would see Atemu asleep peacefully, he loved the child. He had grown to love the child over these past few days. That's why he smiled lovingly at Atemu when he picked the baby up.

"Nani, Atemu??", the elder asked softly. Atemu's skin was dry and Solomon sighed. He walked over to the bag he had dropped the moment he stepped into his livingroom through the staircase that led to the shop itself.

"Thirsty, ne?", Solomon said, knowing what Atemu wanted. He found the bottle with milk in it. It wasn't really full, but when Solomon gently fed Atemu he saw the baby relax. Crimson eyes were staring at him and soft, small hands wriggled out of the blanket. Atemu tried to grab the bottle himself, his fingers too small to even do so. Solomon thought Atemu to be a little month old, but he wasn't sure. Not even the hospital had been sure, but they had given him vaccination and they had done medical research.

When Atemu had finished drinking, he yawned widely and tired he cuddled a little bit against Solomon's chest. Solomon laid the boy down in the baby's buggy and smiled lovingly at the smaller one, stroking one cheek gently.

Like this, it had already been going on for days. Atemu would wake up for diaper-changing, food or just some love. Then the small child would fall asleep once more and Solomon would have some rest.

A knock on the door startled the elder out of his musings and the other walked over to the door. Nobody knew he was home yet. He had had no time to call, who could it be? There weren't many people Solomon knew, but just a few.

"Jii-sama??", a shocked voice asked. It had a heavy accent, but it came from a adolescent with a pale skin and brown hair in wild spikes. Crystal clear, blue eyes were looking confused at the elder, before Solomon was greeted with a firm hug.

"Baron?", Solomon asked, recognizing the voice earlier then the male behind it. As quickly as Baron had entered the hallway, as quickly he was in the livingroom. He was followed by a tall, blonde bodyguard, which the one was not. And another one, a male with red-brown hair and grey eyes.

"Goodday, Jii-sama", the blonde said and walked further too.

"Goodday, Raferu, Amelda", Solomon said and he closed the door. He walked after the two taller males and then saw Baron sticking his finger out towards Atemu. Amelda looked at Solomon, while Raferu captured Baron and kept that one away from the baby. To keep Baron his mouth shut, Raferu laid a hand over it, nearly choking Baron.

"Like alway, it's a mess", Amelda said calmly, walking back to put out his shoes and coming back to look at the child, who was still asleep. Even while Baron was making too much noise for a normal guy.

Solomon sighed. Amelda had been right. Always when the three friends would come to pay him a visit, Raferu had to restrain Baron before the other could make a fuss over everything. Even a little bit of dust. It was nearly impossible to have a normal conversation from the beginning.

"Are you going to just sit down?", Raferu asked Baron. The brown spikes were tickling his nose and Baron was really annoying him. Baron nodded and Raferu litterally dropped the other male onto the floor. The blonde with his grey-like eyes stepped over Baron, who was gasping for some air, and then walked back towards the hallway to pick up the bag he had brought with them.

"We've got your mail, Jii-sama!!", Baron said enthousiastically. Amelda gave the male a stern look and Baron stuck out his tongue childishly. Especially when you would consider all three of them at least nineteen. Solomon chuckled and walked over to the buggy to look at Atemu. Raferu came back with the bag.

"Jii-sama? You have never told us about an upcoming grandchild", Raferu said and Baron nodded, staying on his place. Solomon sighed, how was he going to explain this?

"There wasn't one, trust me. I hadn't planned this at all, but…", Solomon started, not really knowing how to go further. He was a gambler and a good talker, but he hated lying.

"But?", Amelda asked kindly.

"But on the place were the dig was held I… I found this child. His mother gave him to me, not saying a word. She ran off as quickly as possible", Solomon said. They would see through this, they would… Solomon didn't sweat, nor did he show his shock when Baron stepped forward and said the one thing he had never expected:

"We'll be his uncles". Raferu looked at Baron with somewhat wide eyes, he was no babysitter!! Never studied for it either! Then again, Amelda smiled.

"It's cruel to leave a child alone, without anyone to live with. He can live with you Jii-sama and the three of us will help to take care of him", Amelda said and Baron grinned. Then he slowly touched Atemu's cheek and stroked it gently. He could be soft and nice towards others if he liked to be that way.

Raferu sighed heavily and gave in as well. Maybe it would be good to have a chance in his live. Solomon was shocked, but then smiled.

"Thank you. Atemu will be thankful as well, believe me", he said, accepting the offer quickly. He could use a babysitter once in a while, and the three boys were friendly, so why not? It would help them as well.

Baron picked Atemu up gently and cuddled the sleeping child. Atemu awoke with a sleepy sound and stared at Baron with his crimson eyes. His lower lip trembled slightly, but Baron gave his finger to the little child. It was held in a firm grasp and Atemu made a soft sound of joy.
