Chapter Text
Ashlinn watches the older people interact, they haven’t noticed her or her cousin Morpheus yet. She got up onto the couch, hoping to see if she found her Madre or Tio.
What she didn’t count on was Morpheus falling off and swearing out “Ow fuck!”
—
Patton looked up and saw the two kids, the girl who just stared at the boy who swore.
“Who are you two? Also, language young man.”
“Porro.”
The girl went to the boy and pulled him up. They both had covers over their eyes, yet she could still see him.
“Sorry… His Madre swears a lot like mine!” She chirped out before asking “Have you seen our Madres?”
Patton though when they find out who the kids are and their moms to talk to them about what they learn.
—
Janus and Virgil were not fazed at first by swearing since they did it, Remus swore like a sailor. Roman swore out a lot too.
But, then realize that that voice belongs to a child and they hadn’t ever met a child here. Virgil was wondering who they were and when they got in. Janus wanted to see what they look like, as he wanted to congratulate them.
—
Logan had heard the cussing and wondered who had said it before realizing that no one he has met so far sounded like the voice.
He didn't do anything much until he stopped Patton from going closer. As they didn’t know much about their guests.
—
“Do you possibly mean father? We don’t know anyone capable of giving birth.” Logan asked.
The girl seemed offended by that saying “No! I have my Madre like how he has his Madre!” Stomping her foot down.
He paused and tried to figure out what the little girl meant.
—
Patton pulled Logan away so the girl won’t be confused. Apologizing quietly so he won’t be upset.
“Then can you describe your mother for us so we can remember who they are?” He asked which got the girl excited.
“My Madre has brown hair and blue eyes! He has this funny symbol on his shirt that he says is his own. He always sings canciones from películas! He taught me how to act as well!”
—
As the girl described her mother, Virgil thought that he reminded him of Roman. As she kept going, it sounded exactly like Roman.
It didn’t help that he speaks Spanish and always was singing.
—
Janus was listening to the girl, trying to picture who she was talking about. It did sound familiar for sure, as they had two people who were like that.
—
“Stop saying that your Mamãe isn’t my Tio! He is!” The boy whined out.
“Do you mean the twins?” Janus asked.
“Who?” The boy asked.
—
Remus had entered the room confused by what was going on, he asked “Has anyone seen-.?”
—
When Remus had spoken, everyone else watched the boy run over to him.
He screamed “Mamãe!”
Remus recognized the boy saying “hello my little Demônio!” Picking him up and twirling him around a bit.
—
“Who is that Remus? And what does ‘mamãe’ mean?” Logan asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Oh, that means mother in Portuguese. This is my little Demon Morpheus.” Remus explained as the boy, Morpheus held onto his uniform.
“You are his mother?” Logan has spoken up, at this point confused and overwhelmed.
“Yes, he’s my little son. Though, you see the little wings. So I call him my little demon.”
Logan just froze and leaned against Patton.
“Wait, you are one of the people they were looking for?” Patton asked.
“They?” Remus responses back.
—
The whole time, when Remus revealed himself to be the boy’s mother, or mamãe, Janus had froze. Wondering how Remus hides a child from him? How were they not going to fuck up a little kid?
Virgil had ended up choking on his drink. The boy, Morpheus, referenced that the girl was his cousin. Then that means, he was a dad to the girl.
Oh fuck. What would they have to do to support the girl? Was he going to be a bad dad? When did Roman have her? Whose her dad, biological? Was it him or someone else? So many questions.
—
“They mean me, Tio.” The girl said and moved closer.
“Oh Ashlinn, I’ll call Roman, hold on.” Remus remarks before going upstairs for a minute.
—
Remus came back down with Roman who was confused on why he was dragged down.
Until he noticed Ashlinn ran to him.
“Hi my ángel. ¿Querías verme?” Roman said and the girl was picked up.
“Sí. ¡Te echo de menos, Madre!”
“Yo también te extrañé.”
Roman sighed and asked “You guys want an explanation?”
—
“Yes, we do want an explanation Roman about these two.” Logan states as Roman adjusted Ashlinn in his arms.
—
“Okay… Well, I don’t remember how, but I ended up pregnant. I guess that’s me and Stormcloud fault there. But, I was scared what you guys would do about it at the time… And so, I had her in Imagination. So much pain and energy and she was born…” Roman explained, remember how much he tried to hide her. So he won’t lose her.
—
“Why were you two scared of what we would do? What could we do? I don’t understand your thoughts, but I have an understanding mothers can’t be at first separated from their child.” Logan asked with Patton confused seemingly also by Roman’s implying they would take away Ashlinn.
—
Virgil knew he wouldn't separate Roman from Ashlinn, especially knowing that is his daughter with him. As far as he’s aware, neither would Patton or Logan. ‘Where did this come from?’ He thought. He’ll ask later, so he makes sure it doesn’t happen again.
—
Janus was confused how old the children were, maybe four or five. That made since there was a period when Remus had left for 9 months, and Roman did too.
(Patton thought he kidnapped Roman at the time.)
“Why are their eyes covered?” He asked which made both look up.
“They are special and they wanted them to be.”
—
“Can we see them?” Janus asked.
“It’s okay Mamãe! We can show them!” Morpheus chirped out, getting some nuzzles from Remus.
Morpheus took off his blindfold and revealed that he technically had no eyes, black voids instead. Once he saw the reactions, he got upset and started to hide his face in Remus’s sleeve.
—
Virgil was a bit freighted by the boy’s voids. He knew that as nightmares, the boy would be creepy. But he didn’t expect him to not have eyes.
Patton was about to scream except Logan comforted him and was intrigued by the boy’s eyes. “How are they like that?”
—
Janus had info on his son, but noticing how the boy was now hiding and upset. He hissed at Virgil and Patton for causing that.
Remus has gotten up and was glaring at the two. He seem ready to murder them and was going to until Logan intervien asking “What about Ashlinn’s eyes?”
—
When brought back, they notice how the kids were reacting.
Patton felt horrible for making the boy at this point cry and cling onto Remus for comfort.
Ashlinn cried out “Madre, they’ll hate my eyes!” She was nearly crying at that point from how they reacted to Morpheus’s eyes.
Roman hushed and pulled her closer. “It’s okay… I love your eyes Ángel, and your Tio seems to admit to making them like your eyes.”
—
Helping the girl take off her blindfold, Rosegold colored eyes show all her feelings of fear, sadness and worry. She starts to cling onto Roman tighter.
Roman just kept assuring her it’s okay and he was there. Holding her to his chest, he will protect her.
—
Patton seemed curious by how her eyes were that color. Roman had silver shimmers in his eyes with gold, but they were very much different.
Logan was at this point focused on the conversation with Remus about his son and niece's eyes. Seeing them did add to his intrigue.
—
Janus admits her eyes did fit her function with Morpheus. He wished that they didn’t react as bad as they did with his son, as the boy was still her age.
Virgil has noticed how she felt because of her adorable Rose-gold colored eyes.
“I’m sorry that I got frightened by Morpheus' eyes. I wasn’t expecting it.” He apologized which made her feeling shifted to being calmer and curious by him.
—
After an hour or two, Patton decided to make dinner while Janus played with Morpheus who was still with Remus.
Roman was laying on top of Virgil’s chest with Ashlinn babbling about being a knight.
Logan was reading at the table near him. Waiting for the lasagna, he asked the twins “Do you guys put them to sleep?”
—
“Wait Madre! Sing please?” Ashlinn asked, looking at Roman, excited and hyper.
“Mmm… it’s near your bedtime. So, yes relax, Ash.”
Roman sat up and kissed her daughter’s head. “Alright… mm.. Let’s see…”
Remus got the cue, catching Morpheus in his arms. Once the boy realized that it was lullaby time, he just curled into his mother’s touch.
—
“Let's go into the garden, you’ll find something waiting right there where you left. Lying upside down.”
The kids lean into the rocking and start to calm down from them singing.
“When you finally find it, you’ll see how it’s faded. The underside is lighter when you turn it around.”
Kissing Ashlinn’s head, and Morpheus being shifted closer to Remus.
It felt just like when they were together in the castle, afraid of their kids' fate.
“Everything stays right where you left. Everything stays… But it still changes, ever so slightly, daily and nightly.”
—
Patton starts to quietly squeal at the scene of the twins being motherly. He didn’t mean to start squealing but seeing them act that way was cute.
Plus how the two kids lean into their parents and are looking sleepy. He finds kids cute but seeing it close in person fills his heart.
He was gushing to Logan.
—
Logan couldn’t understand Patton’s feelings exactly. Then again, he never felt the way that he expects the three to feel. To feel close to a child and become very parental.
Perhaps he could when he had his own maybe? But he did enjoy the quality of the twins singing. He admits, they knew what they were doing to put the two children to sleep.
—
Virgil knew he wasn’t a functional gay person, but god was he reminded seeing his new family. Seeing his daughter cling onto Roman. Roman just happy and calmly singing to her.
He just held Roman closer and softly purred a bit. Everything was peaceful and perfect. He would protect them, they were his. His Princess and Angel… They are the best thing in his life.
—
Janus didn't realize he was staring loving at Remus as he sang to Morpheus. He barely when he saw Virgil pull Roman closer.
He just moved closer to Remus, and wrapped his arms around the Duke’s waist. He didn’t know how much he wanted a kid until this day.
Seeing how their kid was amazing in his way, a mix of Remus and him. He knew he was going to marry this fool and protect his little family.
—
“Go down to the ocean, the crystal tide is rising. The waters' gotten higher as the shore washes out…”
Ashlinn was nearly asleep, but she could see how her Padre looked so happy. She knew he would be a good person because he loves her Madre. She was warm in Madre’s arms and love…
—
“Keep your eyes wide open, even when the sun is blazin'. The moon controls the tide, it can cause you to drown.”
Morpheus just started to quietly snore and was warm in his mother 's arms. He always loved being close to his Mamãe. He always comforted him and he made him happy!
—
Roman and Remus stopped when they saw the two kids were asleep.
Roman started to giggle when he felt Virgil start to cover him with kisses. “No, bad Stormcloud.” He sighed and said “I’m putting her in your room.”
“Oh? Joining me Princess ~?”
“Not like that, Stormcloud. But, yes I’m sleeping with you. I end up there most of the time.” Roman remarks.
Remus faked gagged and Roman stuck his tongue out at his twin brother.
—
Roman headed Virgil's room with Remus and Janus choosing to go together to the Deceitful side’s room.
“Are you excited to be a dad Virgil?” Patton asked as Logan checked on the lasagna.
“I am excited, I wanted to start a family with Roman since we got together back when I was on the dark side… So seeing her makes me happy. But, I’m nervous about if I do something wrong? I don’t want to ruin my relationship with my daughter.”
Logan said “You have Roman who can show you the ropes with Remus and Patton. You have support unlike the twins most likely when they first had the two kids.”
Virgil nodded and just went to Roman to cover him in affection.
—
Remus smiles softly at Morpheus as he nuzzles into the soft and warm blankets on Janus’s bed.
He walked out and Janus pinned him to the wall. Janus looked upset, so he just asked “What’s wrong Janus?”
“Why didn’t you trust me to raise our kid?”
‘Oh… Janus…’ He thought.
“I did want to tell you so bad… But, you were so focused on the light and dark side… I didn’t want to get in your way and our kid into this. You think I didn’t want Janus? I fell in love with you. No one else but fucking you.”
—
Remus felt himself being picked up. He smiled, despite feeling his tears still, and wrapped his arms around Janus’s neck.
“It won’t have gotten in the way. I think it would have motivated me more. I’m sorry I made you think that way… You know you are much more important to me than that.” He said.
Janus kissed Remus and just thought ‘I’m making this better for all of us.’
He came downstairs and saw everyone starting to eat. He puts Remus down and they join everyone at the table.
—
Patton decided to check up on both families after dinner. He was very excited to have actual kids around, by how Ashlinn and Morpheus are, he was excited to be around them.
Logan made sure he was quiet as most likely the kids were asleep. He could tell from his boyfriend’s actions, he was also excited for the families.
—
Virgil was sitting down with Ashlinn on his chest. Roman was asleep by Virgil’s right side, asleep. He was covered by the blanket with Ashlinn.
It seems that Virgil was still awake. He most likely was just watching to make sure nothing happened to Roman and Ashlinn.
They walked away to check on Remus, Janus and Morpheus.
—
Janus was sitting on a chair in his room. Remus was asleep on his bed covered in a blanket. Morpheus was right by Remus. Cuddling his mother and nuzzling him.
They seem comfortable and happy.
“We are okay.” Janus told them before lying as he normally did “I am not about to join them.”
Nodding, they left the family alone.
—
They soon both decided to go to sleep. Tomorrow would be interesting with two children now with them.
