I'm getting faster at updating, yay me. I figured since I have the week off from school I should take full advantage of it before play practise comes and my life becomes hell. So on with the story...
"Gotcaha!" Leo shouted picking his oldest son up, twirling him in a circle, before placing him done on the floor and tickling him. His youngest son sat on the floor next to the two laughing. A few days had gone by since Chris woke up and he was feeling a lot better. His fever was almost gone, it some times came back at night, and he was able to walk around the manor with no problems. The only thing still lingering was the wound on his chest, which was not getting any better worrying the parents.
"Chris don't just sit there help me!" Wyatt shouted between fits of giggles. Chris got up from his spot and flung himself onto his dad's back. In response Leo grabbed Chris off his back and placed him next to Wyatt and tickled them both. The two were laughing and tried to tickle Leo. They managed to grasp onto Leo's shoulders and turn him onto his back taking full advantage to tickle him.
"Okay I think we are done here." Leo said mostly because he didn't like being tickled and he heard quiet coughs come from Chris, he might be better but Leo didn't want to push the child. But the two didn't listen and continued to attack their dad. "No really guys stop." Leo said a little more firmly when he heard Chris's coughing getting worse. They still didn't listen and Chris's quiet cough turned in rough coughs causing his entire body to shake. Leo's heart stopped beating for a second and quickly sat up and Chris and rubbed his back trying to comfort the child as he struggled to get oxygen into his lungs. "I think you have had enough excitement for one day." Leo said to Chris once his coughing had stopped but continued to wheeze.
"No…dad I'm… fine." Chris whined between breaths, but Leo knew better seeing the boy's pale face with light beads of sweat crowing his temples from the coughing and the fever the he most likely was getting.
"Nope I think you should lie down and take a little nap. I'll be right back Wyatt." Leo picked Chris up and carried him to the bedroom.
"Goodnight Chris, I love you." Leo said tucking him into bed. He brushed the long strands on dark hair from Chris's face feeling the heat coming from his forehead before giving him a quick kiss and leaving the room. He quietly closed the door making sure Chris was going to sleep when he saw familiar blue orbs out of the corner of his eye.
"Hello Odin." Leo said facing the elder
"What are you doing here Leo?"
"Taking care of my sons."
"I can see that, but why are you down here? You need to be up there with us."
"Why? So you can take away my memories of my family again?"
"We had to Leo you were destined to be with us."
"No, I am meant to be here with my wife and to take care of my sons." Leo was getting fully enraged at the elder; he had no right telling him what to do.
"Leo you're elder status must be in from of fatherhood. That is why we have that test so you could see that being an elder in more important." Odin said equally enraged as Leo
"But you sill had to come and tick me into coming with you. Admit it you knew that my love for Piper is greater than anything."
"Leo you need to come back with me now!" Odin yelled
"No you have to leave and don't you ever step foot in my house again!" Leo yelled trying to keep it down a little; he didn't want to wake Chris.
"This isn't over." Odin said threateningly before orbing out. Leo turned around and hit the wall angered by the elder's words.
"Daddy." A timid voice said from behind Leo
"Hey Wyatt." Leo said whipping the tears that were forming from his eyes and tried to put on a happy face for his son.
"You don't have to pretend daddy, I know what happened."
"How much did you hear?" Leo asked picking him up
"All of it, are you really going to leave us?"
"Do you remember that conversation we had when Chris was sick in the conservatory?"
"Yeah."
"And do you remember the promise I made you?"
"That you would never leave us and would everything you can to stay."
"That's right and don't you think that is ever going to change." Leo held Wyatt closer to his body
"Yeah Wy, don't you rember that once you meet us you can't leave us." A small voice said. Leo turned around with a fake surprised and mad look at Chris who was standing at the door frame sheepishly giggling. Leo grasped the boy under his arm, doing the same to Wyatt on the other side, and ran into the room throwing all of them on the bed. The boys, laughing, tried to get up but Leo held them close.
"Since someone obviously didn't listen to me before about taking a nap." Leo exaggerated poking Chris in the stomach who gave a big toothy smile, "Why don't we all just lie here and rest." Leo closed his eyes, he had no clue how Piper was able to keep with their sons, after half a day he was already exhausted.
"Hello anyone home?" Piper shouted as she entered the manor. "Leo, Wyatt, Chris?" Piper hung up her jacket and started to head up the stairs to look for her husband and kids. She headed towards the bedrooms hearing quiet murmurs coming from her youngest son's room. She opened the door to her boys wide awake talking over their dad who was passed out on the bed with a protective arm over both of them.
"Shhh." Chris said putting his finger to his lips when he noticed Piper, "Daddy's sleeping."
"I can see that." Piper said walking over to the bed and sitting down on the edge "Why didn't you wake him?"
"We tried, but he wouldn't wake up."
"Don't worry I know how." Piper pushed back a loose strand of hair before leaning over and kissing her husband's lips. He gently stirred from the motion and began to try and deepen the kiss.
"Ewe." Chris and Wyatt moaned. The two broke the kiss and stared into each other's eyes laughing at their son's antics before tickling them.
"I have an idea." Piper said standing up, "Since you two seemed to have been good with daddy, how about we go to the Christmas festival at the park?"
"Really?" the boys said getting excited
"Yes now go get ready." The two jumped off the bed and ran out the door. "And Wyatt help your brother with his jacket and shoes!" Piper shouted over her shoulder
"I will!" Wyatt shouted sounding a little annoyed.
Piper laughed under her breath before turning back to Leo who sitting up on the bed stretching trying to get ride of the remainders of sleep in his body.
"You know Leo." Piper said seductively as Leo stood up, "Paige offered to take the kids tomorrow and we could have the entire house to ourselves."
"Hmm?" Leo put his hands Piper's waist as she put hers on his shoulders and they locked lips in a lovers kiss.
"Mom!" Wyatt shouted breaking the moment, "Chris isn't letting me help him!"
"That's cause you're doing it wrong, and I teld you how to do it right but you didn't listen!" they heard Chris shout back
The two looked into each other's eyes and smiled knowing that their time was up and they had to go solve the crisis.
"Until tomorrow?" Piper asked
"Until tomorrow." Leo kissed her one last time before following her out the door.
