Arthur drops his cup of tea when he heard the voicemail one summer afternoon.

Alfred and Matthew run to the living room when they heard the cup shatter.

"Dad/Papa!" They shout out at the same time.

Arthur snaps out of his trance when he hears the boys and he looks down at the broken cup. He curses to himself in a mumble and he kneels down to pick up the big pieces. "Bloody hell." He mumbles.

"Papa what's wrong?" Matthew asks worryingly when he and Alfred made it to the living room.

Arthur sighs. He looks at Alfred and asked him, "Alfred, be a lad and bring me the broom please? I don't want anyone steping on the glass."

Alfred bobs his head up and down and he runs off to the kitchen to fetch the broom and dustpan.

Once Alfred left the living room, Matthew asks his father again, "Papa, what's wrong?" Arthur sighs again and he says, "Sorry love. Its nothing to worry about. It seems I received some rather bad news." He tells him.

Matthew tilts his head to the side. "What kind of bad news?"

"Well...it's not really bad news. Its just, something is about to happen and I'm not happy with it." Arthur explains to him.

"Are we going to move?" Matthew asks in worry. He held his bear tightly to his chest, scared of the possibility moving away. Since their move here a few months back, Matthew has grew accustomed to the county side. It was peaceful living here and everything made him calm. He liked the forest Alfred and he play in and he now enjoys the company of his mothers cousin and his daughter so he was scared that he was going to move when he already feels like home.

Arthur shakes his head. "No we're not moving." He tells him. Matthew sighs in relief. "Then what's the problem?" He asks.

At that time, Alfred came back with the broom and dustpan. He hands it to Arthur and he starts sweeping. Arthur was nervous about telling his kids that next week, his father and his siblings will be visiting him for a week to catch up and see how he was doing. How his father managed to find his address confused Arthur.

Arthur wouldn't lie and say he wasn't ecstatic that his family was coming over, he was excited, really but considering he hasn't spoken to them for seven years worried Arthur. Arthur never told his family that he had sons and he lost contact with them ever since he moved to the city. So he was afraid of how they were going to react when they see Alfred and Matthew. Especially the twins. Since their encounter with Louis and Madeleine, Alfred and Matthew haven't really contacted with other people. And that was because Arthur was still afraid they were going to show their wolf sides. How would the boys react when they meet his family?

What was Arthur supposed to do? Well, the first thing he had to do was to tell the boys about the voicemail and his families arrival. "Well Matthew, my father as well as my brothers and sisters will be visiting me next week." Arthur tells him.

Matthew blinks in surprise, his mouth agape. "Your family?" He questions.

Arthur nods. "Wow that's awesome!" Alfred shouted happily. "Wait. Why are we just finding out about them now? Do they know us?" Alfred asks afterwards with a questionable look.

Arthur rubs the back of his neck. "Uh well...you see lads, I haven't seen my family in a really long time and I haven't even kept in contact with them. So no they don't know about you."

"Did something happened between you guys?" Alfred asks.

"More or less yes but that's not important right now. Right now I need to call my father and ask him when he and the others will arrive."


Thus, the week came and went and it was the first week of July. After Arthur called his father- the call took hours because his father was crying, the sentiment man he was - telling him that he was very excited to see him and that he couldn't wait to see them all, Arthur prepared the boys and their home for their arrival.

When the first of July arrived, Arthur woke up bright and early and he made sure to pick up the leftover toys that Alfred and Matthew left behind, clean the living room, clean and mop the kitchen and bathroom and when he was all done with that, he would have to get Alfred and Matthew ready before his family arrived.

It was an hour before one and Alfred was pulling the neck sleeve of his shirt. "Dad, this shirt is to tight, why do I have to wear this?" Alfred asks Arthur who was fixing his tie.

Arthur looks down at his son, then back at the mirror. "Its supposed to be tight Alfred." He tells him.

Alfred signs after he let's it go. "Do I really have to wear this? It's itchy and I don't like it." Arthur looks back at Alfred once he was done with his tie. Alfred wore a black jacket with a white long sleeved shirt underneath it and he wore matching black pants and shoes. Matthew wore something similar to the suit Alfred was wearing only his was white.

"Yes because you need to look nice for when you meet my family." Arthur explains to him.

Arthur kneels down and fixes him up. "I hate suits." Alfred tells him.

"I am aware of that but its just for one day okay?" Alfred nods, still annoyed that he has to wear a suit all day. How was he able with a suit on? No fun.

When Arthur was just about done fixing Alfred, Matthew runs to him. Alfred and Alfred look at him. "Papa, a car just pulled up in the driveway." Matthew tells him.

Arthur nods and thanks Matthew. He looks at the boys and places his hands on each of their shoulders. He squeezes their shoulders comforting them, although the same could be said to him. Arthur was nervous. Really nervous. He wasn't sure he was ready for this.

He licks his lips and tells them, more like reminding them, "Be on your best behavior alright? Remember to be respectful and don't talk back. But most importantly, don't show them your wolf sides okay?" It was the same speech Arthur always reminded the boys whenever they went out to town. As usual, Alfred and Matthew responded by a nod and a 'yes dad' 'yes papa'.

Nodding, he kisses the top of their heads and he stands up to answer the door. Alfred and Matthew stay in the living room, waiting for their father to call them.

Standing in front of the door, Arthur holds on to the handle of the door. Letting a sigh and calming himself, Arthur opens the door. Immediately, Arthur smiles and he greets his family. "Hello, everyone. Its great to see you again." Arthur greets them.

"Arthur my boy, its been a while." Arthur's father, Robert Kirkland, says with his arms wide open and his smile beaming with happiness. Arthur goes in to hug his father. "Yea'. Sorry dad but I've been very busy these past few years." Arthur explains to him. "You don't have to apologize Artie. I'm just glad to see you that's all." Robert tells Arthur.

Arthur smiles in relief. Although he shouldn't be surprised. His father was known to forgive people rather quickly. Depending on the situation though.

"And what exactly caused you to be busy these couple of years eh little brother?" Arthur groans in annoyance when he heard the sound of his eldest brother, Allistor.

Arthur let's go of his father and turns his attention to his siblings. They all arrived as his father promised. Allistor, Dylan, Seamus, Alonna, and Peter were all staring at him, each holding different expression.

"Hello Allistor. Its nice to see you again." Arthur says with fake glee.

"Yea', the same as well. So, care to explain why you haven't bothered keeping in touch with your family?' Allistor asks him.

"Why do you care? I thought you would be overjoyed by the fact that you never have to see me again." Arthur says.

"Oh yeah I was. But keeping pops worried for this long?" He shakes his head. "Not cool little brother."

Arthur tried to restrain himself from punching Allistor in the face. It hasn't even been a hour and already Arthur was annoyed by Allistors presence.

"Now, now Dylan." Robert spoke, standing between his sons. "No need to fight. Now I'm sure Arthur has a good explanation as to why he hasn't visited. You know he had school to go to and work. Maybe that's why he hasn't visited." Arthur grimaced at the mention of school. How was he going to explain to his father that he dropped out?

"Yeah but for six years? Dad he hasn't visited even once. Don't you think that's a bit suspicious?" Alonna speaks up. The others nod in agreement.

Arthur sighs. "I've been busy what do you expect? A lot of things have happened recently and right now I'm trying to settle things for myself and my new life." He explains to them.

"Then explain why you haven't seen us." Dylan speaks. "Please Arthur. We're just wondering what you've been up to these couple of years." Thank God Dylan was here. Out of all of his siblings, Dylan was less likely to bother Arthur.

'Well, its about time I introduce them to the boys.' Arthur thought to himself. With a nod, Arthur faces everyone at once and says, "I have an explanation why I haven't been able to see you all for a long time but I'm not sure how all of you are able to handle it."

Everyone gave him confused looks. Arthur let's out a sigh. He turns his head behind him and calls out, "Alfred, Matthew, come here and meet my family."

At once, everyone looked over Arthur and were met with the presence of the boys. When their father called for them, Alfred and Matthew walked out the doot and they walked next to their father. Standing a few feet away from them, Alfred was the first to speak, "Hi, I'm Alfred and this is my little brother Matthew."

Matthew shyly smiles and waves to them. "Hello." He says.

Everyone looks at Arthur, expecting him to explain to them. Arthur looks back at them and says, "Everyone, these are my sons. Alfred and Matthew."

At once, their jaws dropped.
