CPOV

It's Saturday morning and after a little run in Montesano I'm back at the hotel. Today I'll have the meeting with George Clarkson, but then I'm going to return to Seattle and I'll get 100 miles between the Steele's and myself again. I still could kick myself for the inappropriate comment to Ana and it breaks my heart thinking of her facial expression, but it's good to know that Elena will suffer for the whole situation she's responsible for. I threatened to break off the engagement in case she wouldn't go back to Seattle immediately.

After a shower I sit on the couch with my laptop, working on some emails, when Taylor suddenly enters the room.

"Sir, I'm sorry for interrupting you, but there's a situation in the lobby, which commands your attention", he states. I look at him, but he doesn't think of explaining himself, so I close my laptop and follow Taylor to the elevators. After all our time together he knows me so well that he can judge precisely when I have to be somewhere physically, and when I don't have to.

Once the doors open with a 'ping', I walk into the lobby and look around. Soon, I recognize Sawyer and Reynolds standing on the other side of the hall, but I don't see anyone else being around. Anyway, I go over to my security and halfway across the hall I notice, that both of them are gazing at the ground where only now I recognize two pairs of additional legs.

"Tommy! Andy! What are you doing here? Where's your mother?", I ask instantly, when I reach them.

"Daddy!", both of them exclaim and fall into my arms.

"Is anybody answering my questions?", I counter with a bearish voice.

"Mommy is sleeping", Andy says.

"Does mommy know, that both of you are here?", I ask and Andy shakes his head. No. Fuck!

"Did you two eat already?", I continue asking and both of them shake their heads. "Alright, now you come with me!", I command and take them both by their hands. "Sawyer, you manage to get two car seats for the boys and pick us up in 30 minutes! Reynolds, order room service!", I fire off the orders and take the boys to the elevators, where Taylor is waiting for us.

Tommy and Andy are scowling at Taylor the whole time. When the doors open and Taylor enters, both of them stand riveted to the spot.

"What's the matter, buddies?", I ask, whereupon they reluctantly go a few steps forward, so we can ride up. During the ride, Tommy abruptly turns around to Taylor and says: "I don't like you!"

Taylor's eyes widen in horror as he asks him: „Why's that?"

"Because you stole my daddy!", Tommy says and turns around again. Taylor looks at me and we have to really work on holding in our laughter.

After I stuffed something substantial for breakfast into their mouths, I need to have a word with the grumpy dwarfs.

"OK guys, now tell me please why you are here and why you didn't let your mom know where you are!", I say with my serious CEO-face.

"Yesterday you told us, we should visit you some time in Seattle, so we thought, we could come with you today", Tommy explains as if this would be the most normal thing in the world. I'm really amazed about his simple answer, which makes sense in the eyes of a 6 year old. I sigh.

"And your mom was still asleep when you came up with that idea?", I ask, completing his thought. Both nod their heads and I just shake mine.

"You know, your mother surely almost dies of worry! There are so many things that might have happened to you and that's what she's thinking about just now. You must promise me to NEVER EVER do something without telling your mom first!", I ram it down their throat's. Both are nodding speechless while looking ashamed down on the table.

Guys, it's not cool at all when I try to make a cliffhanger and everybody guesses right! ;D Just kidding, there were no marks for guessing!

joan . goldman .9 - He's not just going to tell her off, he's going to break up with her ;) And yes, the kids went to Christian.

pdb115 - No, Elena is back in Seattle.

hateme101 - I think she feels how Christian disassociates himself more and more, so she acts irrationally. And yes, they went to Christian.
