It was already dusk and I still had ayato cradled into my bosom. He is so small and so light. It was already for our slumber at night or morning if you were human.

Claude and I already have a room in the manor,so I went and brought ayato to his room. It wasn't hard to find at all. His and I guess his other brothers scents that lingered on the door.

When I opened the door, I immediately went to go and tuck him in under the covers,but he wouldn'tlet go of me. I sighed. Boys are really stubborn, but a little small and groggy voice called out to me.

" Aunt Genevieve"? asked ayato, who was still half awake.

"Yes",I replied in a very calming whisper.

"What are you doing"?

"I am putting you to bed because you have been sleeping all day since the incident with your mother."

"Does it still hurt where she hit you at"?

"Just a little bit, but can I still stay with you and Oji-san along with my other brothers"?

But,why"?

"She mistreats us especially Laito,I don't know what she is doing, but he always comes back to the room we share with tears in his eyes." And it is always when everyone else is asleep."

"Then,how did you know about it"?

Because I woke up to him sniffing and he had mother's scent all over him".

She wouldn'thave done that to him, could she?

"Already then,I am going to check to see if Claude is alright with t the idea and if it is alright with him, I come fetch you and your brothers.

After I put him under the covers, I heard to little voices behind me.

"Who are you"?the two little boys said in unison.

When I turned around and looked at them, I knew, they were my other two nephews. One had a light brown hair that reached to his shoulders and the other one was a little bit smaller than his brothers with purple hair and eyes. He had a teddy bear that was bigger than his head in his embrace. It was actually quite adorable to seehim trying to grip and look at the same time without falling over because how big the teddy bear was for him.

I replied and told them that I was there mother's sister and that I came to visit them and their mother. Just then , I hear a deep tenor voice say my name.

"Genevieve, what is taking you so long, I started to worry.Is everything alright"?

I slightly turn my head away from the triplets and see my husband behind the two boys in the doorway.

"My love, there is no need to be worried, it seems I gotto meet my-I mean- our other two nephews."

He looked down towards Laito and Kanato that were in front of him. They seemed to be intimated by his looks and height so, I introduced him to them.

"Corazòn, this is kanato and laito. And ayato wanted to know if his brothers and him can stay with us"?

Claude gave me a questioning look,so I wrapped my arm under his and took him four feet from the boys room. I told him what ayato had told me.When I was done explaining ,which took like 35 minutes, he justwent straight to the boy's room.

I followed him and when we went inside the room, the boys were fast asleep. Then I saw Claude gingerly lifted kanato and laito from the bed and laid their heads on each on of his shoulders and carried them out of the room.

I followed his lead and carried ayato with me to our room.
