Sing me to Sleep ((Aida/Drakary)

[praiseofblood]

Drake stood with a sniff, "My mate and children laugh at my pain, what a life." He said, hobbling over to the stove.

[ode]

"Don't worry, dad. I'd never hurt you on purpose," Roux said. "And I'll kick any bodies butt who tries to. Well.. accept mama's. I mean, it's sort of his right to kick your but, ya know?"

[praiseofblood]

Drake just chuckled and rolled his eyes. "Got you, Monster." he said, before placing the French toast on a plate. "Strawberries or whipped cream?" he asked the boys.

"Both!" James smiled.

[ode]

"Syrup," Roux said, sitting at the table.

Aida hurriedly prepared them all a beverage. "Enjoy your sweet breakfas, gentleman. We're a vegetable eating family."

[praiseofblood]

"Awwww," James groaned, but it was only in jest as he ate his breakfast.

[ode]

The ship ride back to Mentsiquar was only a week or so and everyone aboard was eager to be in their new home. "Ready boys?" Aida asked as their transport approached their new home.

[praiseofblood]

Inside, Niko, Brendan, Gri, Ryou, Tripp, Grey and the rest of the Jukar clan scrambled to hide.

[ode]

Shoving the door open, Aida stepped back to let the kids step inside first.

[praiseofblood]

"Welcome home!" came the call from many voices around the room. James about jumped out of his skin.

[ode]

Roux caught his brother and pushed him behind him, his stance squatting and his fists in front of him.

Gri laughed out loud. "Watch out, big baby!" he said to Grey who was closest to the kid, "Our great grandkid is going to kick your ass!"

Tripp giggles. "Talk about adorable!"

Brendan shook his head at his mother and godmother before moving to kneel in front of the boys. "Hey, guys, I'm your grandpa, Brendan."

[praiseofblood]

James looked at all the huge, hot men and blinked. "Is everyone on this planet gorgeous?" he whispered to Roux.

[ode]

Roux, who had dropped his fists as he too stared around, turned back to his brother. "Is it weird that we're calling our family gorgeous?" he whispered back.

Aida shook his head, "Come on, scamps. Get in here and meet your family."

[praiseofblood]

"I don't know, but they are." James whispered back before he jumped as Ryou and Grey stood in front of them.

"Holy....tall..." Jame blinked, looking up.

[ode]

"Whoa! You guys must be as strong as me, huh?" Roux asked, staring up, up, and up at the pair.

[praiseofblood]

Ryou blinked. "Seems that way, hatchling. As strong as you are." he said with a smile.

James hesitantly poked Grey in the leg. HE WAS LIKE A ROCK!
