Teenagers by My Chemical Romance
Chapter 4
As the night came to an end, Lucius and Rodolphus bid goodbye to their guests. Rodolphus rubbed his eyes, helping clean up the trash, leaning on the wall half asleep.
Emmy noticed. "Mama, Dad is tired."
"Rod, go to bed, love. It's okay, we'll finish," Lucius said.
Rod blinked. "I'm okay," he said, shifting and starting to help again.
They finished up, and Emmy and Adam took their baths for the night, getting ready for bed.
"Rod, come shower with me," Lucius suggested.
Rod nodded, stepping into the shower and undressing.
The hot water hit him, relaxing his body while Lucius massaged his back.
Rod hummed. "So good, just like before," he chuckled.
Lucius chuckled too. "I will always be there to help. Let's get out and into bed."
Rodolphus grunted. "Okay." He lay in bed with just a shirt on, feeling comfortable.
Lucius joined him, rubbing his hip.
Rodolphus fell asleep.
Their kids snuck in and climbed into bed, snuggling close to Rodolphus.
He hummed and blinked. "What are you two doing?" he whispered.
"We can't sleep," they whispered back.
Rodolphus hummed and went back to sleep, holding his kids close.
The next morning, Lucius woke up to the kids in his bed. He frowned. "Emmy, what happened?"
"Sorry, Mama. I had a bad dream, so me and Adam came to be with Dad," Emmy explained.
Lucius smiled. "That's okay, baby."
Rodolphus woke with a groan. "Please be quiet. Some are still sleeping here."
Lucius chuckled. "Sorry, love."
Rodolphus huffed. "Come on, help me up. God, I feel like I grew overnight," he said, touching his stomach. "Ugh."
Lucius helped him to his feet.
Rodolphus went to the bathroom.
Lucius got the kids up and ready for the day.
Rodolphus came to the couch.
