The loud slamming and moaning had not stopped for an hour now, and it was three in the morning and Ema had work tomorrow. She growled under her breath before rolling over to see her sleeping boyfriend behind her, snoozing away as if there was no loud sex noises coming from the room next door and no Ema who was throwing out enough heat containing her rage that she could fry an egg.

Alyss had dropped Leia's son off at his grandmothers before heading off to work in the stadium for her job, and then heading back with her best friend, Donnie, to his place. Donnie, the gay equivalent of pre-brother and best friend loss Klavier, was a very close friend of hers. They'd often head out after school to the nearest café, where they'd discuss all manor of what were considered girly discussion topics. Donnie had been one of the main reasons she had sought out employment at the stadium, so she could get introduced to some of the finest music talent in the world, and hopefully demonstrate her own musical talents to them.

That left Apollo and Ema home alone for the night, so they'd eaten and retired to bed early, for there was a desire in both of them to enjoy the more...intimate side of being in a relationship. It was around the normal time they'd go to bed, when Ema curled up in his arms and began to sleep. A peaceful night's rest in her boyfriends arms would be what she needed before returning to the horrific crime scene she had been working on, anything warm to snuggle into would be good enough to her right now, as it wasn't very often that a crime scene was an industrial freezer at a local fast food restaurant.

Apollo hadn't fallen asleep until a while after she had. He heard the door slam and felt Ema jolt awake.

"What's that?" She groaned sleepily.

"Hush." He stroked her hair.

"...Alyss' not here, Apollo, he'll be asleep now." A high pitched giggle. A very drunken high pitch giggle. There were sounds of stumbling round in the kitchen, but soon it fell slightly more quiet, with Ema snoozing away once more, he fell into a relaxed and peaceful sleep, despite a drunken sister crashing round in the kitchen, drinking the remainder of the bottle of wine he and Ema had been drinking.

Ema had been woken again by a high squeal. She knew, thanks to her science knowledge, that a woman was better at detecting higher pitch noise than a man. That was because a baby gave out high pitch squeals when it cried. She growled under her breath, abandoning hope of sleep, so she simply watched Apollo peacefully.

They were gone when Apollo woke up in the morning, he worried for Ema, who'd had two hours sleep, and was on absolute burnout.

"Here." He offered her the cup of black coffee.

"Thanks." Ema took a sip. "Is something wrong?"

"I sense a storm coming..."

"Hm? But it's sunny outsi- oh...wait, I know what you mean." Ema fell silent. "Do you reckon she would? Your mom I mean, reckon she'd take the kid away?"

"Riley loves his mom...but...he needs her to be here." Apollo looked to the floor. "She's breaking his heart, you can see it in his eyes."

-x-x-

"Apollo you do understand what will happen if Mom tries to take Riley? She's gonna cause a massive fight between Leia and us lot again!" Kai was right, Apollo wasn't going to deny it.

"We all have to be strong."

"And we're all going to end up driving our prospective partners away because we're all stressed! I can't do that! I mean...if I drive her away...I'll not see my baby's birth."

"Then we have to be strong." Apollo took a sip of his drink.

"Oh...here comes trouble."

Kai and Apollo along with Alyss, had been summoned to their family home, their mother was going to tear Leia apart about her boyfriend and her sudden abandonment of her son, it was their job to keep Riley occupied.

"Uncle Kai!" Riley declared, rushing into his arms.

"Hey squirt." He gave him a quick hug before Riley pulled free and went rushing up to Apollo and Alyss.

"Why are we here?" Riley asked.

"Grandma needs to have a chat with your mom." Apollo explained.

"Why? Is it cause mommy doesn't want to spend time with me anymore?" Tears welled up in his eyes.

"Your mommy does want to spend time with you!" Alyss didn't know if she was lying or not, she hoped she was telling the truth.

-x-x-

"Why are they shouting?" The little boy sobbed into Apollo's chest.

"I'm sorry." Apollo held him close, his phone was ringing and the vibration caused Riley to leap back.

"Apollo, phone." Alyss pointed out. Apollo pushed his hand into his vest pocket and once the phone was answered he pulled Riley back against him.

"Hello?" Apollo stroked his nephew's back.

"Apollo, it's me. I'm with Kai's girlfriend, we've both just got an unusual message from an unknown number..." It was Ema.

"What about?"

"Is Kai with you?"

"Yes. What's it about?" Apollo said sterner.

"Put the phone on speaker." Ema said.

"Ok."

"Kai, your girlfriend's in tears." There was a soft sobbing in the background. They could all hear it through the phone.

"Roseanne? What's the matter?" Kai asked alarmed.

"I don't wanna talk to him!" She cried.

"Look, there's something wrong, I don't think those messages are right." Ema was facing away from the phone, her voice suddenly sounded obscured.

"What messages? Em, what are you on about?" Riley had since stopped crying thanks to the addition of the new voices and had crawled onto Apollo's lap.

"Look, me and Roseanne got messages from a number we didn't recognise, saying you and Kai are cheating on us."

"What!?" Kai looked hurt. "Roseanne, baby, I'd never cheat on you!" He cried out. "You know that!"

"You don't honestly think we have...do you?" Apollo asked.

"No, I know you'd never cheat on me, and I know Roseanne doesn't think Kai'd cheat on her. But in her hormone addled brain nothing is going to make sense!"

"She's doing it again. Mom's stepped in with the problems of Leia's relationship, so now she's going to cause problems in ours." Apollo said solemnly.
