Hi! Another chapter another day...Warning on this one because there's mentions of sex...and certain magazines...Love all the reviews and all you readers! Please, Enjoy!

Alex and Sean ran through the mansion's front door, up the stairs and barged into Hank's room.

"Did you get them?" He asked excitedly.

"You bet your furry blue butt we did!" Alex said pushing a black plastic wrapped package into his hands. "One for each and a spare!"

"Awesome!" Hank said as they all tore off the plastic to reveal a Playboy magazine cover. "The I.D's worked?"

"Perfectly, they didn't suspect a thing…" Sean said opening his to the centerfold.

"Niiiiice." They all chorused together.

Down in the library Charles and Erik were sitting enjoying a drink and a game of chess as a nice close to the days events.

"It's quiet." Charles commented as he moved his pawn forward.

"Yep." Erik replied moving his rook forward to capture Charles' knight. They played again for a few minutes in silence.

"Kind of nice." Charles commented again as Erik took his bishop.

"Yep."

Charles made his move and looked up to the ceiling with a raised eyebrow.

"You think we should go see if they're all still alive?" He said shaking his head.

"Yep." Erik replied taking Charles queen before standing up. The two men walked out of the library towards the stairs when Erik noticed Lily sitting on the floor, amidst several strips of black plastic, looking at something spread out in front of her. She kept turning it over and cocking her head to the side in confusion.

"What do you have there, mien Kleine?" He asked walking over to her. Lily looked up at him with confusion in her eyes.

"Vati…Mummy doesn't look anything like this…Does he?" She asked pointing at the centerfold of the Playboy. Erik's eyebrow's shot up almost to his hairline as his eyes stretched out as far as they would go.

"Erik? What's…" Charles asked walking up behind him. His jaw dropped when Lily lifted the pages and held them up to Charles silhouette.

"No…she looks more like Raven…or Angel…What?" She asked looking up at her dumbstruck parents.

"I…Uh…" Sean said holding a glass at the top of the stairs. Charles and Erik both whipped their heads over to look at him with murder in their eyes.

"I…Oh, shit…" Sean said as he sprinted off into the upstairs. Erik looked at his watch, counting the seconds, as Charles took the magazine from Lily.

"One minute's head start…I believe it is your turn this time, Charles." he said as the telepath walked up the stairs tapping the rolled up Playboy against his leg.

Sean knocked on Raven's door repeatedly until she opened the door looking extremely irate.

"What do you want?" She said tugging her bathrobe around her body.

"I need to hide, help me!" He said looking nervous.

"Why? What did you do now?"

"I…well…"

"Sean! Alex! Hank! Come out now!" Charles called out.

"I accidentally dropped a Playboy magazine in the front hall and Lily found it and opened it!" Sean said hurridly trying to force his way into her room. She threw him out onto the floor and smirked.

"Then I hope your death is slow and painful…" She said slamming her door shut.

"Come on! There were some interesting articles!" He shouted after her before jumping up and running farther away. "Women!"

"Men are such pigs." Raven said shaking her head as there was another knock on her door. "Yes?"

"It's Charles."

"Yes?" She asked opening the door.

"Which way?" He asked tapping the rolled up magazine with his hand.

"Right then a left. Third door on the…right. I think." She said pointing.

"Thanks sis…and by the way not all men are pigs…they're just teenagers." Charles said with a small smile. Raven rolled her eyes and shut her door as he ran off to find the three boys.

Erik shook his head and rubbed his eyes before pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Vati?…Vati what's sex?" Lily asked tugging on his pant leg. Erik looked down on his small daughter and made a brief wish that Charles would turn Sean into a babbling idiot as he picked her up.

"It's…um…It's kind of hard to explain…" He said walking into the library and sitting on the couch.

"Does it involve kissing?" She asked looking him in the eye. Erik was sure that if he'd been given a choice between shooting himself or answering any more of Lily's question's, he'd rather shoot himself.

"Some…times?" He said steeling himself for another question.

"Oh…then I don't wanna know." She said laying her head down on his shoulder. Erik sent several prayers of thanks up to whatever god or goddess had saved him and looked at the unfinished chess game.

"What's that?" Lily asked pointing to the board.

"It's a game…would you like to play?" He asked as she lifted her head up.

"Nah. Mummy said he'd teach me…will you read me a story?" She asked as a book floated down from one of the top shelves. Erik plucked it out of the air and looked at the title.

"The Grim Brother's Collection of Children's Fairytales: Vol. 1" He read before opening it to the first tale. "Cinderella…Once upon a time there was girl who loved her father very much…"

He had read through most of the stories before noticing Charles leaning against the doorframe. Erik raised his eyebrow as Charlres snapped his fingers and pointed into the room. The three boys all filed in to stand in front of Erik, looking very sorry for themselves.

"Lily…go find Raven and ask her to read you the rest of these ok?" He said giving Lily the book and gently nudging her off the couch. She ran out of the room as the boys watched and Charles shut the library door.

"Speak." Erik said to Alex, leaning forward to look him in the eye.

"It was Sean's idea!" He said pointing to his right.

"It was not!"

"Was too! You said we wouldn't get caught!" Hank hissed under his breath.

"Sean…" Erik said sternly.

"It wasn't my entire idea! Hank made the fake I.D's!" Sean whined.

"Alex you have your own I.D…"Charles said in confusion.

"Yeah the one that also says I'm a convicted felon." Alex said looking upset.

"Look, I don't care about the fake I.D's or the magazines…what I do care about is Lily finding them." Erik said holding up his hand for silence and looking each boy in the eye.

"So you're not mad at us?" Hank asked timidly. Erik rolled his eyes at the young men.

"No…" He said shaking his head. "But you are going to be punished…you shouldn't leave those lying around for anyone to see…besides Raven going on a rampage, Charles and I don't want Lily to see them, got it?"

The boys all nodded gravely and, standing up a little straighter, prepared to have all their privileges revoked for the rest of the world.

"Tomorrow, Charles and I are going into town, so you all get to baby-sit Lily and then the next day your going to take Raven wherever she wants to go…Don't groan, you all know you deserve it." Erik said.

"Now go on, and remember, we don't want to see these around here again." Charles said tossing the magazine at Sean and moving away from the door as the boys all ran back upstairs.

"What a nightmare." Erik said sitting back in his seat and looking at the ceiling.

"Nah…could have been worse." Charles said flopping down next to Erik and throwing his legs over his lap.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah…they could have been in the liquor cabinet again."

"No…they know what will happen if they try that again." Erik said looking over at the telepath. They sat in comfortable silence for a few moments before Charles went to sit across from the metal-bender so they could finish their chess game.

"So! What are we doing tomorrow?" He asked moving his rook forward three spaces.

"I haven't figured that part out yet…I was hoping you might have some ideas." Erik said contemplating his next move.

"We could go shopping and buy you something that isn't black." Charles supplied watching the other man wince as he placed his knight across from a pawn.

"You wound me, Charles, I thought you liked my fashion sense." He said looking up at the telepath with a hurt look.

"Ha! Well, you are classy I have to admit. Turtlenecks and trousers…not a bad combination…"

"What about you? Suits or a cardigan? Maybe I should take you shopping…get you something that isn't so…collage-bound." Erik said watching as Charles put his king in check.

"I was under the impression you liked my bookish appearance…what was it you said last night? I make reading look sexy?" Charles said as Erik moved his king.

"No…I said you make books look appealing." Erik countered glancing up at Charles' smirking face.

"Same same. Checkmate." He said standing up to stretch his arms up. Erik leaned back and smiled as he appreciated the nice view. Charles simply smiled back and walked over to the door and held it out as he made as small bow.

'Shall we go put Lily to bed and then adjourn to my room?' Charles thought sultrily at Erik.

"Well…I don't know…I might have other plans." Erik said with a tragic sigh. Charles looked at him in slight confusion and disappointment.

"You see there's this telepath who just loves to get jokes pulled on him because he never checks to see if I'm yanking his chain." Erik said with a sweet smile that looked more dangerous then anything.

"Well you can yank my chain all you want later…come on." Charles said with a smile, pulling Erik up on his feet and pushing him out the door, slamming it behind him.
