There was a soft, hesitant knock on the door, I only heard it because I hadn't slept a wink, even though Léon holding me did calm my nerves a little.

I shook Léon gently, waking him up. And he looked down at me with a smile on his face.

"Hmmm? What's wrong hun?" He asked sleepily, reaffirming his hold around my sides.

"There's someone at the door." I replied, trying to coax some clear thoughts from him.

"Oh, I'll get it, you get some rest." He slipped out of bed and then slipped his pants back on. We walked over to the door and opened it gently.

"Miss Ái? Mr. Léon?" I familiar young voice hit my ears. I relit a candle and Luis was standing there holding his sleeping brother over his shoulder.

"Luis? Comet? What are you two doing in here?" Léon said, his voice still low and whispery.

"Fennec and Nick let us in. They said you were in here, but that I had to knock first." He said, his head lolling to the side, he was extremely tired.

"Oh? Do you wanna sleep with us kiddo?" I asked from the bed, straightening my tank that Léon messed up earlier.

"Ái...." Léon started to whine, but I flashed him a look and he fell silent.

"You don't mind do you? I don't wanna cause any trouble." Luis admitted softly, he was exhausted, I could tell, mostly because I was too.

"Absolutely not, tuck in." Léon pulled back some covers, but Luis did not jump in, instead he gave Comet to me, and then crawled in bed with us, him right between us.

I held little Comet in my arms, He was dirty, and malnourished, but also sleeping soundly in my arms, he cuddled up to me, and I felt an explosion of protective emotion go through my body.

Luis almost Immediately fell asleep next to me, he was hugging my arm like it was a pillow, I felt so much like Mom it was uncanny. And Léon sat up next to me, holding his arm around my shoulder looking down at Comet, who was in my arms.

"Cute little tyke ain't he?" He asked yawning softly and kissing my neck right below my ear, the same ear, coincidentally, that he had punctured with a nail.

"Yeah, they both are....." I knew what I wanted, but I also knew neither of us were ready, we were kids ourselves, we couldn't possibly-

"I know what you're thinking, and I think we should. They'll have a better chance with us." Léon said, taking my hand into his own once more.

"You mean it? You think we should keep them?" I asked incredulously, still trying to keep my voice down.

"I don't think it's up to us, it's up to them." He pointed at Comet and Luis, and put his hand out over Comets blonde head and moved a strand of hair out of his face.

" I'm not ready for kids. And I know that if we do somehow spend our lives together, you wouldn't want any anyway, but they need us, they need you. And I don't want to leave them alone, without any parents." He added, smiling down at the little two year old.

"Heh, What makes you think I wouldn't want any?" I asked him, and I felt his hand tense on mine, and his face get red.

"Well..... I-I just assumed-"

I cut him off by kissing him softly on the lips.

"Never assume. Always ask." I said, and he gave me a smile.

Luis wiggled beside me. And I rolled my palm over the back of his head, this seemed to calm him down, as he let out a small sigh.

"How.... How are you so good at that?" Léon asked incredulously, laying his head on my shoulder and caressing my hand.

"I dunno. I just wanna make sure they're happy. And it always works on me." I replied, smiling, and Luis made a cute little squeaking sound in his sleep.

Léon nibbled on my ear, and I leaned back into him, Comet moved a little in my arms but was still sound asleep.

" Well, if they do decide to stay, I'll try and be the best f-father I can be." I stumbled over his words, it was a touchy subject for him.

I hummed contently and gently nuzzled the crook of his neck, and I felt him get really hot.

"I know you will, I have no doubt." I realized what I was doing, but I didn't care, I knew that I loved him, even though we were young. Besides, after what happened tonight....

It's not like we could just take it back.

"Léon, should we have...... we've only been together for so long and....."

"Do you regret it?" He asked, slowly, I could tell he was thinking about what we did too, we just got caught up in the moment.

"No. No! I don't regret it, I'll never regret it. I'm glad it was you..... but....... what if.......what if my parents don't agree, or Aurora? What then?" I was worried about how fast this relationship was going, I knew Mom and Dad got together in less then three years. But we had only been together for two months!

"Then, we'll deal with it, their your parents Ái, They'll never stop loving you. And....... neither will I." I grinned up at him, kissing him on the cheek.

"I know that...... I just...... I dunno. It's gone so quickly, I feel like in the past two months both of us have grown up so much." I admitted, the proof? I would have never admitted to it a month ago.

"We have, you have.... I by no means think we are adults. Our little escapade was proof of that, but I think we're getting there." He held his hands on my belly , smiling at me.

"Hmmm..... Yeah, I think Mom and Dad would be proud." I sighed and he laid his head on mine, his arms holding both me and Comet.

"Well, your Dad is going to kill me when he finds out." He sounded like he had already excepted this fact, and it made me giggle.

"Aurora will probably just celebrate, so will Mom." I added, and he chuckled.

"Yeah....." He trailed off in his own thoughts. And I felt my eyes grow heavy.

"Sleep Ái, I know you need it." He purred in my ear, supporting Comet with me.

"Goodnight...." I said sleepily, cuddling into his chest with Comet in my arms.

"Goodnight Ái, I love you." He replied, and I drifted into a calm, comforting sleep.
