Noah took up his position beside the two human among the group. "We'll be the last one's inside the vault besides the guards guarding the rear." He motioned towards the werewolves behind them.
"You're our babysitter" Patrick grumbled.
"Don't be like that" Brice whispered putting an arm across his husband's shoulders.
"I want to find the person responsible for my brother's death" he hissed between his teeth.
"You're angry I get that" Brice attempted to calm him.
"I'm furious" Patrick growled "all I can hear is my mother's strident voice in my head saying how she knew this was going to happen." He looked over at Brice fear radiating from his eyes. "What if she does what she's threatened? What if she takes our kids away from us?"
"That won't happen" Brice pulled him close kissing his cheek "Adam will be in charge soon. He won't let that happen."
"We're moving out" Noah whispered alerting the couple.
Several minutes later they filed into the vault in a slow single file line. The most vulnerable part of the plan. If there were guards they could be picked off as they entered. So far so good. Either Ratha's people weren't aware of the entrance or their trap was further ahead.
The line stopped. Harsh whispers from those ahead in the line informed those in back of trouble. Ratha wasn't as stupid as they had all hoped. Either that or Rickey really had led them into a trap.
"That's all we can ask sir" Patrick gave Brice a pleading look.
"Adam we don't want to be a bother but we'd like to accompany you when you raid the castle." Brice took Patrick's hand squeezing it hard.
"I'd like your support and help. Are you sure about this? You have young children that need you." Adam pointed out "what if something goes wrong and you don't make it out?"
"We all have families we want to come back to" Brice put a steadying hand on Patrick's shoulder. "What if one of us goes along? The other can stay behind with the kids?"
"But" Patrick protested knowing he'd be the one staying behind if push came to shove.
"Alright" Adam agreed knowing it was important for them to help rescue their brother. He left them to discuss the details together. Neither one protested when he got up leaving the room.
"Patrick" Adam greeted the younger standing up he ushered him forward. "How are you" he asked once they were seated. "I'm surprised you're still in Moonlight Falls."
Brice spoke for his husband noticing the tongue-tied expression on Patrick's face. "We stayed as long as we could by request of your son Keenan. He was worried about you."
"Ah" Adam nodded "it's nice to know my disappearance didn't go unnoticed."
"No sir" Patrick agreed having found his voice. "Many people are worried about you."
"Why are you here" he asked concerned for them "This isn't the safest place for humans right now."
They exchanged worried glances before Brice continued. "We need your help."
"My brother" Patrick interrupted "was taken by Ratha and her goons."
"He'll be in the castle" Adam surmised "more than likely in the dungeons. I'm sure we'll be able to free him along with anyone else we find down there."
Tommy followed the rest of the prisoners into the courtyard. He strained his neck trying to see if his brother Patrick and his family were among them. He couldn’t see them. He hoped that mean…

“Which one” Brice asked “aren’t all our kids little diva’s?”
“All but Zander” Patrick said coming his hair “but I’m sure that will change. Alright how do I look?”
“Good if you plan on going without pants” Brice slapped him with the bottoms of his slacks.
“Give me those” Patrick tried to snatch them from is husband’s hands.
“I rather like you like that” he said dropping the pants to the floor in favor of grabbing his husband. His hands slipping beneath the elastic waistband of Patrick’s boxers.
“You keep this up we’ll never make it to the award ceremony” Patrick’s voice hitched a little as Brice’s searching fingers found their goal.
“I can handle it if you can” he bent to his knees smiling up at Patrick.
“Hello” a voice called from the living room “anyone home.”
Groaning Patrick moved out of reach of his husband to snatch is pants. “You’ll have to wait until after the event now.”
“You better make it worth my while” Brice said walking towards the door “I’m more than a little uncomfortable at the moment.”
“You” Patrick choked “what about me?”
Brice gave him a perplexed look as Patrick spoke to Tommy on the phone. “You don’t really think that will work do you?”
“I don’t see why not” he shrugged “it’s worth a shot. Velvet doesn’t know what it’s like to chase after more than one kid.” He moved towards the closet to get dressed. “You know our kids will make her run all night. She’ll be glad she only has one after that.”
“What if she does an awesome job” Brice asked “this might make things worse than they already are.”
“I guess it’s a chance we’ll have to take” Patrick walked over to the door and opened it. “You and I both know that’s not going to happen.” They could hear Amara yelling from her room at Caspian to leave her alone.
“You have to do what I say” she said her voice loud “I’m the only princess in this house.”
“I want to be a princess too” Caspian whined.
“Only girls can be princesses” she snapped at him condescendingly.
“Then I’m the baby” he grasped at something that might get him the same attention as her.
“You can’t be the baby” she laughed “Zander’s the baby.”
Patrick closed the door on the high pitched squeal that followed that pronouncement. Chuckling to himself he said “the diva is not happy.”
A couple of years had passed since Quinn made the proclamation that their son had been marked by darkness. Patrick was lost in thought as he absently watched a bunch of kids of all ages run screami…
Its been a while since I’ve updated this side story. It’s time I bring this up to date with what’s happening in the main story. I had a few more pics I wanted to take but my game decided to crash before I finished so I decided to use the pics I had instead of waiting to get the pics I wanted. Hope you enjoy regardless. Hopefully I’ll have it queued later today. If you want to read it now just go to my WP Blog.
