It's been a week since they had met Bud and Lisa. While Lisa was already healthy and well. Bud, however, was still recovering because Angelique had hit him quite hard in the head. Kain and Angelique still haven't asked them whether they wanted to stay with them or not because Lisa and Bud were still acting kind of awkward around them. So they just let it be but they're warming up to it. After a few more days, Bud had recovered and can run about, Kain had decided that they would ask Bud and Lisa that 'BIG' question whether they wanted to stay with them or not.

When they were having dinner, "Bud, mind your manner, we're still guests you know. Stop eating like that!" Lisa scolded him.

"Actually, it's alright you know, since Kain won't mind at all" Angelique chirped happily ignoring Lisa's comment.

"How can I mind when my own sister eats with the same manner, Ange? Lisa, it's all right, after all he's a growing boy so he needs all the nutrition he can get." Kain said calmly while eating his salad.

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" Angelique fumed at Kain's remark.

Lisa doesn't think so though, "Oh…but… but… Bud is…"

Bud having so many back up just grinned, "See…. You worry too much… lighten' up a lil"

"Bud. Although, I don't mind your eating, I do mind your speaking. Please refrain from speaking with your mouth full." Kain tell Bud gently.

"Okay…" heads down and a little bit downed by the sudden remark.

Angelique just shrugged that off though, "Don't put too much thought too it Bud… You'll cope with it soon enough and Kain gives you many leeway after all so don't worry about it." As if the sun had shone behind the cloud breaking the storm, Bud had smiled with happiness again when Angelique said it.

"Okay, enough about this. Anyway, I want to ask you two a very important thing…" Kain had said without any tint of humor and he was looking dead serious about it.

"Umm…. What is it?" Lisa asked. She suddenly felt nervous from the seriousness of Kain's voice.

"He won't kick us out won't he? I already liked this place so much… wait… maybe he will ask us if he wants us to stay with them… I won't mind that idea at all but… he could ask us leave in the very first bit in morning too…. Awww…. I'm so scared…!" Bud noticing that this was no joke after a while continued what his sister had just asked, "Yeahh…. What is it about? Are you going to kick us out?" in his conscience, "Anything but that… anything but that…. Please… please…. Pretty please… I dun wanna leave this place… Kain and Angelique is the best thing that ever happened after Mom and Dad died…"

Kain chuckled at the opposition inquiries of his real intention, and suddenly Angelique laughed and he joined in chorus.

"Um… why are you two are laughing?" Lisa asked them curiously but a little bit relieved.

"Hey! Are you picking on us? You big bully!" Bud innocently claimed.

"No… No… actually… heheehe… we would like to ask you if you want to become part of this house. To become of part of this family since I believe, you had told me that you two are orphaned right?" At this, they nodded. "So I wanted to ask you if you want to stay with us so we can watch over you and sort of be like your guardian. So what do you think?" Kain asked them, wiping the tears in his eyes because he had laughed so hard that the tears just came out. Bud and Lisa, was shocked. Hearing this news themselves, they couldn't believe it. So far, no one had ever wanted them, let alone coped with them for a few days but Kain and Angelique had asked them to stay with them.

"What do you think, Bud?" Lisa was still unsure of herself and much in a shock to think correctly. Plus she was afraid that she might heard wrongly.

"Ummm…. I don't know but I'll sure want to be with them." Bud said hesitantly while peering to Angelique and Kain that had been considerate to leave them alone to think it over for a while.

"Me too. I really like them a lot. Angelique is so fun to talk to and she knows so much about things and Kain is really kind and caring although he is a bit strict but I think he thinks the best for us and he is so knowledgeable with magic too, he was like a Dad for me. I really really really like them a lot." Lisa said with much happiness obvious in her voice.

"Yep… same with me… Kain is like a second dad and Angelique is so jolly good to have around."

After a while, Kain and Angelique went back to the table and waited for them to talk. "Kain. Angelique. We had decided." Lisa said hesitantly glancing nervously at Bud. The moment passed like eternity to them, the silence was too much, and it was unbearable. Kain broke it by saying, "So…. What's your decision?"

He's quite unnerved himself since he really liked the kids very much. Angelique squeezed his hand so hard that it hurt but Kain just ignored it for the moment.

"We decided that we would like to stay with you. But is it really okay with you since no one had ever wanted us before?" Lisa spoke up. Relieved with the answer they hear, Angelique jumped in happiness and hug both of the kids, while Kain just smiled tenderly but obviously happy and content with the answer, "Of course, silly. Why would ask you this question if we are not sure about it ourselves?"

Lisa and Bud broke into tears and they ran into Angelique to receive a great bear hug and Kain hugged them afterward not as fierce as Angelique but certainly with as much feeling as Angelique.

"Oh thank you… thank you so much…" they said happily.

"You're very much welcome and don't mention it" Angelique said.

"Lisa, Bud. Welcome Home...!" Kain said to them smiling warmly while hugging them again.

That night four happy faces slept with much contentment and looking forward into what tomorrow would bring. But no one will know what will happen. Only fate will know and obviously, they didn't care much about that right now.

Review. Please... cuz that would made my day.
