Thanks to winxfan16 for all your help on my story so far. Thanks to my readers. And once again I own nothing you recognize.
That was a long night of talking and setting boundaries and handing out punishments. In the end I talked to the two boys until one in the morning eating dinner in bed. I told the boys that I would not take their behavior any more that they were both turning seventeen soon and had to act their age. I also talked to Nick and we decided to visit Pop's friend that worked with Asperger's syndrome and autism. Nate asked if we could start going to counseling again and I agreed he said he wanted to get along better as a family, including Paul, and I agreed. Nate also admitted that he did not really treat Paul with respect or accept him like he did Seth because he was afraid he would take me away and I promised that would never happen they always come first. I also put Nate on restriction for what happened earlier in the day and got no argument, to my surprise, maybe he is going to start behaving better. They both apologized to each other and hugged and then to me. They both told me how much they missed the pride and family and wanted to see them. I told them I had to take care of the Damien situation first and then we would discuss going home maybe for Christmas break. Since I was leaving the next day they both slept in bed with me one curled into each side.
Nick curled into my left side and Nate on my right Nick almost instantly fell into a sound sleep but I could tell Nate was still awake. I bent my head down and kissed his hair "Honey, what's the problem." He sighed and pressed himself closer to my side and mumbled into my side "Mom, I don't want you to go. What if something happens? What if you and Paul decide to get married and not come back" I could feel him shaking and could tell he was crying "What if the plane cr…" I stopped him and pulled his chin up to look at me "What did I tell you earlier about me and Paul, you kids come first. I love you all more than my own life and nothing is going to happen or your aunt the pixie would have seen it. Now, please quit fretting about it, I will be home and if I ever marry Paul all four of my beautiful angels will be there." He smiled and laid his head on my chest and I wrapped my arm around him and within minutes he relaxed and fell asleep. I played there for a while after just thinking about everything that has happened since we moved here and knew it was time to head home to see my pride and family. The more I thought of Paul and what he said to my boys the more mad I got at him. I knew he was probably just trying to help, but he was wrong. I knew the relationship between my two oldest and my mate would be the hardest but I never in all my days expected him to threaten my boys.
When we woke the next morning the boys went to their rooms to take a shower. As I was walking towards my bathroom to take one I felt warm arms wrap around me and his woodsy sent took over my senses. I turned in his arms and glared at him "What" he looking at me confused "did I do something …wrong" he asked. I huffed "you threatened both of my boys" I pushed him back for good effect "and you ask me did I do something wrong" I scuffed at him and turned towards the bathroom. I was just about to shut the door when he stuck his foot in it "can I at least explain" he looked a little bit pissed and I did not understand why. I took a deep breath and opened the door and walked over towards the shower doors and he came in and closed the door. He took a deep breath and sat on the edge of the bath tub and I sat on the toilet lid. "I am not sorry" I raised and eye brow "I am sick of how upset you get over those two" he stopped to think "if I learned one thing from Sam it's you always respect women special the woman of the house." I nodded and he continued "would Mike or your dad let your sons act or talk to you like they have been well mostly Nate but still." I knew they would not let it get anywhere near where it has been lately. I smiled "No and I understand where you were coming from" I sighed "but screaming at and threatening them is not helping me. I told you about the room in trust I did not want you to go to him with it, I would never do that again no matter what I said. To let you know he tried to lie to me about you yelling at him." He looked confused "Nick would not say anything when I finally got something out of him it was all in sign for hours. It was almost one when he was curled into my side that he finally spoke. I was seriously thinking of cancelling our trip today. Nate begged me not to build the room he was almost hysterical at one point telling me he would go live with my parents or MieMie and Pops if that would help." He held up his hand "Ok I get it I went overboard neither one of them would even look at me when I passed them in the hall. I will talk to them and I will leave punishments up to you." I shook my head "Honey, no I just… next time please include me before you do something like that with them, ok" he nodded. "Anyways, when we come back we are going to start counseling as a family, including Sam and Emily, at Nate's request and Nick is going to go see that doc that Pop's suggested." A beautiful smile graced his lips "I take it I am included in that counseling" I nodded "I am glad you're not mad anymore" he said "I am going to take the bags down stairs and let you take your shower, love you." Before he walked out "Paul I love you too but I am not exactly happy right now," I sighed "why do all three of you have to work on my nerves. I am going to take a shower so go on but tell Seth I need to talk to him when I am done" he frowned and nodded before walking out.

I took a long hot relaxing shower and then after getting dressed I called Seth up stairs. After he entered the room I called Pop's and MieMie and put the speaker phone on and I explained everything from last night. "The only exception to the grounding is that Seth can take the boys out for a game of catch once a day so they have their brother time." Seth smiled and I smiled back MieMie and Pops said they would be over soon. I got up and gave Seth a hug before heading downstairs to eat breakfast. Paul made us all an omelet, which was delicious. After I ate I went into the back yard and played a game of baseball with the kids and then played a card game of go fish before going to get ready to leave. After changing and making sure I did not forget anything I went back down stair to say goodbye to my babies. Mike had come sometime in the night and went to MieMie and Pop's and slept there and then came here with them while I was in my room. I hugged and kissed all of my kids and got promises of best behavior, I could only hope, then I hugged MieMie and Pop's they said "the boys are waiting at the airport" in unison and we laughed. I hugged them all one more time before jumping on mikes back and being carried out of the house. Paul walked out behind me laughing his head off. When I jumped off of my brothers back I turned on my mate "and what is your problem" I asked as I put my hands on my hip. Paul looked confused and Mike mumbled 'you're in trouble now' so I spun and got in the car and ignored them all the way to the airport. "Honey please talk to me, I'm sorry for upsetting you we can talk about this whole past two days in counseling" Paul said as I got out of the car "Baby girl you are acting like a kid talk to us" Mike said. I walked up towards my other two brothers 'you keep your mouth shut I want them to think before they make me mad' I thought towards Eddie "you are being cruel" Jazz whispered in my ear as he hugged me. I smirked at him and mouthed 'shut it I will talk to them in time' he shrugged and smiled.
"I do not know what is going on with the three of you" Eddie pointed at the Mike, Paul, than me "but you better figure it out. I am not doing anything to make mom mad" he said as he started towards the plane. "Yeah, I agree with him" Jazz said pointing at his brother "Dad and Mom said if we cause problems or upset you" he looked at me "we won't be happy" I laughed. "Well glad to know that" I smiled "I will have to thank them when we get home." They both groaned "Please, we all know you're the favorite don't start trouble." I laughed and got on the plane "what does that mean" I heard them ask Paul and Mike. Mike chuckled "knowing our loving sister I would try to stay on her good side." "Which we better get back on" Paul mumbled. I laughed "boys lets go load the plane and let's get in the air" I heard all four of them mumbling "NOW, the sooner we get going the sooner we will be home." Within a few minutes the plane was loaded and Jazz was in the pilot's seat and Eddie was in the other seat up front and the other two were sitting with seat belts on. The plane started to move and it was not until then that it hit me "Oh my Gosh" I sad and curled into the corner of the couch and held on to the arm for dear life." Everything that could go wrong started to go through my mind as I started to remember how afraid I was of flying.
