I slowly open my eyes and spot Jeff, still asleep on my chest. My arm still around him, I move my hand from his shoulder to his hair, softly stroking it. He hums and tilts head to me, smiling. "Morning..." he mumbles, slowly opening his eyes. "Mornin'." I smile as I look into his bright blue eyes. "Mmmmm the light burns..." he groans, covering his head under the blanket. I laugh. "When'd we get blanket over us?" I look down at the light blue blanket, currently over half of me and all of Jeff. "When I felt like I was fucking freezing to death last night." he lifts the cover a little, looking at me again. "Hmm" I smile, dipping my head to his, giving him a light kiss. "This has to be the best way I've woken up so far." I mutter, chuckling at the red painting his cheeks. "S-Shut it! God!" he covers his face, pushing my face out of the blanket. "Come on kid!" i laugh, kissing his palm on my face. "If I'm a kid, your a big pedophile." he takes his hand back and lifts the blanket, sticking out his tongue.

"You'd be one hell of a kinky kid 'cause after last night, with all the moaning and 'fuc-'" he jumps up and puts both of his hand over my mouth. "Stop!" he glares as I muffly laugh, suddenly he jumps out the bed, yelling and cursing up a storm. "What happened kid?" I ask, still laughing as he stands at the front of the bed, naked and red faced, rubbing his ass. "My ass hurts like hell!" I laugh harder. "I-I would assume so!" he glares and I roll over, still laughing.

"Fuck you..." he mumbles yet he crawls back in bed. "Its the other way around and that's why your ass hurts in the first place kid!" he smacks me with a pillow and stomps to the a bathroom. "Kid!" i call still laughing.


After getting Jeff to let me in the bathroom, we brushed our teeth and took a shower which led to a 15 minute*cough cough* 'delay' for breakfast. He puts on a pair of my sweats and one of my baggy short sleeve shirts. I make fun of him the entire way down to breakfast.

"You look like your drowning in my shirt.." I mumble with a smile, looking at Jeff open the door with my baggy brown shirt floating on him. "I may not be as big as you, but I'll kick your ass." i pull him back into my chest. "Not." i nuzzle his honey hair. "Get off dammit!" he growls but doesnt struggle. "Come on. I'm hungry as hell." I keep smiling as I let go of him and walk ahead. He follows and twirls his arm with mine then slides his hand into mines. I look down at him and his red face. "Cute.." I mumble more to myself as he leans his head in my arm and we continue walk into the restaurant. "Man, now that you mention it, I'm pretty hungry too." he smiles looking up at me. "i'm gonna get some chocolate pancakes and some orange juice and some" he continues as we sit, talking about asking Rose to make the pancakes look like a star and all i can do is stare at the glowing angel in front of me. 'I've never been this happy. My heart has never been this light...I've never loved someone like this..' Jeff stops and looks at me with his big blue eyes. "What? What ya starin at me like that?" I laugh and shake my head. "I'm just thinkin maybe I am a pedophile..." he narrows his eyes. "Shut up, you big perv." he sticks his tongue out and I cant believe he's 26.

'Cant believe he's mine...' Louie approaches the table, smiling like a fool. "Hey! i bet you two are outta energy~" he winks. "Di-Did everyone hear?"Jeff blushes. "Almost. Dunning is a heavy sleeper." I look around at the some women giggling and some men..staring at Jeff like he's meat. I grill the table of guys and when they catch my eyes, they look away and get up and walk out. 'Didnt think so.'I turn back to Jeff, whose burying his head in his hands. "Oh god!" I laugh and reach over to grab one of his hands. "Aint gettin shy on me now are ya kid?" he blinks and blushes more, but smiles and shakes his head. "So ya'll official?" Louie leans in and Jeff looks at me, unsure. I tilt my head. "Of course. Dont you see the mark?" I jerk my chin to Jeff's neck, where a blue/purple mark laid, the teeth puncture marks in the form of a 'K'. Jeff mutters something that sounds like 'Idiot' as he weaves his fingers through mine.

"Hey Mr. Hyde!" I hear Icurus and turn to see him, Iris and a woman follow over the table. "Mornin Icurus. Mornin Iris." the woman stands back and she looks vaguely familiar. "Soooo how was last night?" Iris asks, winking. "Yeah! It sounded like a really fun game!" me and Jeff choke on our orange juice. "W-What?" Jeff coughs, looking at Icurus. "Yeah, Iris said that you guys were making so much noise because you guys were having so much fun with the game!" I laugh as Jeff buries his head again. "Your sister was right." I grill Iris, whose giggling. "Me and Jeff had lots of fun, didnt we kid?" I turn to Jeff who in turn grills me but nods his head anyway. "See?" I get up and walk over to the woman. "Hello Miss- Oh my god! Lilly?" I spot the redhead's bright green eyes. "Kyle?" she gasps. I hug her tight.

"Lillian! Oh my god! What are you doing here?!" I ask, pulling away. "Looking for Brent."


Me, Jeff, Lillian, Icurus, and Iris head to talk in the lobby. "Brent? Brian's brother?" I remember Lillian was Bradley's sister in law, after she married his brother, Brent Bradley. "What happened? The last time I saw you and my god kids was when-!" Something hits me. I turn to Iris and Icurus. "N-No...These are..?" I twist my head to see her nod.

"These are my god babies?" my voice cracks and my vision blurs. When Lillian had named me the only god parent of her kids, me not having kids, I was so happy. I visited everyday. The last time I saw them was when Iris was 7. "U-Uncle Kyle?!" Iris gasps, recognizing me. I smile through tears and nod. She runs and hugs me. "Princess!" I hug her tight and spin her around. "Lets see when you were 7, Icurus was about...4." I smile at the blond 12 year old. "Kiddo, you remember me?" I let go of Iris and kneel next Icurus. "I-I think so...I'm not sure, but you were best friends with Daddy's brother right?" I nod my head. "Yep that's right." without another word, Icurus jumps me, hugging me. I hug him back and spot Jeff crying too.

"Why are you crying?" he smiles and shakes his head. "I'm h-happy for you." I smile and pick up Icurus, turning back at to firey 5'7 redhead. "Why'd you come here?" "When an investigation was done here, the owner, Dunning I think his name is, said he spotted someone that look like Brian, around the same time Brent disappeared. You remember how inseperatable those two were, so I figure if I find Brian, I'll find my husband." I slightly turn my head to see Jeff playing rock,paper, scissors with Icurus behind my back. "Well I actually came here for a job and to find Brian..ya know since what happened." Lilly nods, her red hair bouncing. "But when they kept mentioning 'Officer Hyde' I had no idea they were talking about you!" Lilly smiles, almost tearing up again. "It's just really good to see family again." I nod. "Same here." Iris tugs on my hand. "Are you gunna help us look for dad?" I nod again, with no hesitation. "Of course! I got a lead on Brian back in New York."

"But ma, aint we leavin back home?" Icurus chimes in. "Yes honey. Kyle, we're headin home, back to Iowa. I promised the kids they wouldnt have to spend to long away from home. Plus I have to get back to work soon."

"I get it." I pull out my phone and give it to her. "Got a cell or somethin I can reach you at?" she nods, types her number in and hands me back the phone. I laugh. "Didnt know you got service all the way down in Iowa." she softly hits my arm with a smile. "Though truth be told, I didnt either 'til we moved down there." I tilt my head. "Why did you guys move from the Bronx?" she shakes her head. "I was slash am a single mother right now. I wouldnt be able to handle anywhere out here without running into to something that could harm me, or worse, the kids. I had to leave." I put Icurus down and hug Lilly. "Dont worry okay? I find out whats goin on." She clings on to me. "Thank you Kyle." she pulls away and her green eyes seem light, as if a lot of weight has been taken off of them. "We're leaving tonight, but would you and your" she looks at me with a smile. "boyfriend join us for dinner?" Iris nods crazily next to her mom and Icurus pulls Jeff next to me then runs next to his mom, nodding just like his sister.

"Pleasepleasepleasepleeeeeeee eeeeeeease uncle!" they mummer with giant smiles. "Jeff?" I look at Jeff whose smiling and holding my hand. "I really dont want to impose on a family dinner thing-"

"Nonsense! Your family now! Weather half of said family knows or not!" Icurus jumps and hugs Jeff with a small 'yay!'

"Kid's got attached to the kid. Who would've thought?" I laugh as Jeff continues to hold my hand. "Thank you very much for the invite Lillian." Jeff smiles, ignoring my comment. "Lilly please. Lillian is for when I get grandchildren. Which better be in a-"

"Very very very long time. Yes ma'am." Icurus and Iris huff with small smiles. "Good. Well I'll see you both at dinner." Lilly and the kids hug me and Jeff and head to their room. "I like them. Was I okay? Do you think they liked me?" I hug the nervous break down close. "Calm down kid! They love you okay? They love ya cause I love ya. Just relax" Jeff takes a deep breath. "Okay." he pulls away and look at me with beautiful ocean eyes. "It's like I'm a teen again, meeting my boyfriends parents." he shiver and I laugh. "No no. You wont have to meet my parents anytime soon." he breaths a sigh of relief. "Not until Christmas." Jeff looks at me with wide eyes. "Wha-That's in like 6 weeks!" I smile and hold his hand. "Yep." All the way upstairs, he breaks down.

"What if they dont like me? What am I going to wear? Please tell me they dont know my family?!"

"I dont think they know your family. At least they dont know bout your sister." I shrug as we get in the room. "Oh thank god! Grac-" he snaps towards me. "You know?!" he squeaks. "Yeah. Ya know I'm a little shocked at either of you not telling me. Mean, both of you trying to get me and no one told me I was stirrin the family pot?" I shiver and plop myself on the bed. "How'd you find out?!" he huffs, glaring at me. "I'm a detective." his pouty glare deflates slightly.

"Oh...right." I shake my head. "I found out by my god kids. Can you believe it?" he looks at me, his face pale. "They know?! Oh god if this gets out-" I pull him to the bed. "No one's gonna find out. Your dad and your mom will live happily in separate places and Grace Fumble and Jeff Damon are nothin but a couple of strangers to each other." I kiss his head. "My dad..would kill me. Thanks Hyde." he cuddles to my chest as we lay back. I shut my eyes-

BRRRRRRRING BRRRRRRRING

"Noooooo..." i groan as the phone rings. "I got it, ya lazy bum.." Jeff mumbles, going to get up. "No. Stay. Screw the phone..." I mumble back, holding him close. "Come on..What if it's somethin from New York?" I sigh and let him get the phone.

"Kyle Hyde's room." I crane my head enough to smile at the big shirted, proper manner voice, Jeff. He hands me the phone. "A girl name Rachel." Jeff pouts slightly as I get up and take the phone. "Jealous kid?" I smile as I put the phone to my ear. "Shut up!" he lays back on the bed and throws a pillow at me. "Sweetie?"

"Hey Rach. What's up?" I hear her tsk. "Who was that guy that picked up?" I smile. "Jeff. I'll tell you when I get home." I feel Jeff's leg tense under my hand. "Okay...Well I got info on that Travis Porter."My ears peak.

"Really? What the deal?"

"Seems Travis is pay-to-play kind of mail man. Part mercenary, part delivery man. Travis, which is his actual name, only uses his name for his law practice. Besides that, the rest of his 'jobs' are done under tons of fake names. One of the most famous is-"

"Richard Henry?" I sigh, taking my hand from Jeff's leg and rubbing my forehead. "Yeah how'd- Oh hun! You need to get outta there!"

"He's gone already. He's delivered his message." I growl. "Tell Ed I'm heading back there first thing in the morning tomorrow." Rachel doesnt ask, I guess the tone in my voice is a warning. "Okay hun. Just be careful."

"I will. Bye Rach.."

"Bye Kyle."I hang up and throw myself next to Jeff. "Is everything okay?" he asks, watching me. "Not really...I have to leave tomorrow." I sigh, turning from him. "I'm coming." it wasnt a question but I shake my head. "Jeff no okay? This is a real dangerous. It isnt some game-"

"I'm not a kid! I can take care of myself!" I feel him stand off the bed. "I said no." I stand as well. "If it's dangerous, what makes you think I'm not going along?! You could get hurt!"

"I can handle myself! I'm worried about you!" he growls. "Your not going. Period. End of story." I take a step towards him. "I'm going whether you want me to or not!"

"Jeff-"

"Your not just going to leave me!" he screams, clenching his hands into fist. "If you get hurt... what the fuck makes you think I'm just gunna stand here!?" he yells and I watch as drops of tears fall from behind his bangs, covering his eyes as he drops his head. "I dont want you to get hurt Jeff. You cant come. Thats that." I go to hug him and he pulls away. "I'm not a kid! I'm not a kid...why cant you see that!?" he pushes past me and stomps out the room. I sigh and throw myself on the bed. "Shit!...What am I gunna do?" My heart throbs as I remember him crying... "Fuck!" I grab the closest thing to me and throw it across the room. 'Dont let him leave!'

"Guess I'm taking him..." I get up and go after Jeff.
