"Are you going to tell your Ste about Oisin then?" Cheryl asked later that night after they had had dinner "Yeah, I'm going over to his later ... will you stay here with Oisin"

"Oisin! what's your favourite film" Cheryl bellowed trying to get the attention of her new nephew, Brendan just chuckled as he left the flat.

Brendan and Ste have been kissing for the last twenty minutes but stopped once they heard Leah calling for her daddy, "Be right back hold on" Ste had muttered against his lips. When he came back Brendan was sitting on the sofa with his sock clad feet resting on the coffee table, "My son is here Stephen" Brendan said as soon as Ste had sat down "That's nice, when did Declan get here"

"Not Declan"

"Oh Pa- no not Padraig either, Oisin"

"I didn't know you had another son"

"Yeah neither did I, he showed up last night"

Oisin and Cheryl were on the sofa eating popcorn and watching 'The Amazing Spiderman', "Are you not too warm in that jumper, love"

"No" Oisin said a little to quickly, but Cheryl didn't want to push him "Doe's Brendan have any other kids" Oisin asked after a few minutes "Yeah, he has two boys back in Dublin"

"You mean I've been living in the same city as my brothers without even knowing it"

"You know love, Declan couldn't be that much older than you"

"I'm nearly fifteen" Oisin added after a couple of beats

Brendan went to get another drink from the fridge, "You want another one" he called to a now snoring Ste, "That's a no then" Brendan said to himself as he went to wake his young lover "C'mon Stephen, time for bed" "You staying" Ste asked once he was standing "No, I have to get back to Oisin but we'll go out tomorrow yeah, me, you and the kids"

"Love you" Ste said with a sigh as he fell asleep again

"Love you too Stephen"

Brendan found Oisin and Cheryl curled up together on the sofa when he got home, Cheryl was snoring loudly and Oisin was whimpering slightly "Oisin, wake up mate" Brendan pulled Oisin up by his wrist only to have him hiss in pain, Brendan silently walked Oisin up to the room he was staying in, deciding it would be better to ask him about the cuts on his wrists tomorrow.

Oisin walked down the stairs the next morning managing not to fall again and sat on the sofa to put on his boots, "Oisin, can we talk"

"Yeah" Oisin was feeling more comfortable around Brendan now, he seemed nice enough but Oisin knows just because someone seems nice that doesn't mean they are, "Last night I saw you wrist" Brendan said quietly so Cheryl couldn't hear him, Oisin quickly tugged the sleeves of his hoodie down around his knuckles and stared at his feet hoping Brendan would drop it, he didn't "Look, I just want to get to know you and I wan't to help you if I can but you have to meet me half way, Oisin" Brendan said tiredly "It's nothing" Oisin murmured eyes still fixed on his feet "Okay, well c'mon we're going out with a friend of mine and his kids"

Ste sat in the playground watching Leah and Lucas on the swings when he saw Brendan and a boy he assumed was Oisin, He did look slightly like Brendan, He was wearing ripped grey jeans, black boots, a 'Batman' t-shirt and a red hoodie. "Oisin this is Stephen, Stephen this is Oisin" Oisin waved a little but continued looking at the ground, he never liked when Dermot took him out with his friends "Well that's my Leah and Lucas over there on the swings" Ste said proudly "I thought maybe we could all go get something to eat at the dog" Brendan said mostly to Ste "Yeah that would be brilliant" Ste said brightly "So Oisin what do you like to do then" Ste asked when they had sat down at a picnic table beside the playground "Erhm I uh like to read and I play a few instruments so that usually keeps me busy enough" Oisin said and then smiled when he realised it was the first word he had said since he and Brendan had left the flat "Oh, what do you play" Oisin was surprised Ste sounded like he actually cared "I uh play the piano, guitar, violin and a couple other things here and there" Oisin said with a smile.

Oisin sat sandwiched between Ste' two children and across from his dad and Ste, "Did you get into a fight" Leah asked innocently, Oisin panicked for a moment before coming up with an excuse, "No I fell off of my skateboard" Oisin lied, Oisin was used to lying he did it all the time, I fell down the stairs, I tripped, I'm just clumsy. "Can you show me how to skateboard" Lucas asked excitedly "I'm sorry kid, I didn't bring it with me" Oisin said with a sad smile "We have one" Leah stated after a moment "Okay then, if it's okay with your dad I'll show you how later, yeah" Oisin felt proud that he had made Lucas smile.

Brendan sat back and watched as Oisin was showing Leah and Lucas different jumps and tricks, he was good, too good to have fallen and done that to his face, Brendan just wanted to know who he ran away from but Oisin didn't trust him enough yet, Brendan knows he's a bad father, Declan and Padraig won't even talk to him but maybe Oisin is his second chance at being a dad, being a real one but to do that they're both going to have to fight their demons.
