Jay smiled at the young girl running around below him. He picked her up and held her close to his chest, walking over to the table. He sat her down and kissed Nio's cheek. Nio blushed and sat down, across from the young girl. Elizabeth, eat your dinner." He says with a soft but firm voice. She giggled and started eating quickly.
Jay picked her up when she finished. "You can go relax, play with Loui." He says, Nio looking at him gratefully. Jay tucks her into bed after washing her and walks back down the stairs, watching Nio play with Loui. "Hey." Nio says, climbing onto the couch and smiled at Jay. "We have a meeting tomorrow." Jay says checking his phone.
"Right, Kenny is needing us to pick him up in 30 minutes." Jay continues. Nio nods and smiles at him bashfully. "I have an idea." He says quietly. Jay grins. "What is it?" He asked and Nio kissed him softly. "Beach." Jay's face lit up. "Ok but, how are we gonna get Lucky and Kenny to stay in one car together?" He asked.
Nio grinned. "Flying." He simply said. Jay rolled his eyes. "Fine, we need to make sure that-" "Lucky can fly." Nio said, a twinkle in his eye. Jay sighed and pulled Nio closer. They retired from the Night Owls after the scare Nio had, started a business that was booming and had two children. Lucky looked like Jay while Kenny looked like Nio. Besides the heights. Kenny was 9 and Lucky was 5.
Not everything was peachy though, they sometimes got into fights but worked them out in the end. "Ah, Kenny says to come pick him up." Nio says, his phone pining. Jay nodded and made sure Lucky was asleep. They climbed into the SUV and drove to the pool. It was 8:30, the time that Kenny gets out of practice.
"Hey Mira!" Nio said. Jay hugged her and they waited together for their children to come out of the locker room. "Nic is a pain in the ass but I love him." She said smiling. Mia walked up and kissed her cheek, smiling at Jay and Nio. "So, is everything alright with Marlo?" Mia asked Nio. He nodded but looked down.
"Nio?" Mira asked. "He uh, is checking himself into a psych ward. I still can't believe that Mindy would to that to him and the kids." Mira nodded and smiled when the children came out of the locker room. "Bye guys." Nio and Jay said, walking Kenny to the car. "Kenny can you get along with your sister tomorrow?" Nio asks glancing in the rear view mirror.
"Sure. if you tell me your past." Nio sighed while Jay glanced at him. "Kenny, we don't think-" "I AM READY DAD." Kenny yelled, interrupting him. "Jay it's fine." Nio said quietly. "Kenny, I'll tell you about it tomorrow." Kenny just grunted and Jay parked the car at their home. They got out of the car, Kenny going straight to his room.
"Are you sure?" Jay asked Nio quietly as they were walking up the stairs to their room. "Jay, I can't hide it from them forever. They see my scars and probably wonder about them." Nio said softly. They changed into pajamas and curled up together on the bed. "Ok but, I don't want you to have to relive it again." Jay murmured and fell asleep.
"LUCKY DO NOT BITE KENNY." Nio shouted, startling Jay from his cereal. "What the fuck?" He asked, walking into the living room. Lucky was growling and trying to bite Kenny, who had her favorite toy. Jay quickly picked her up while Nio sighed and rubbed his nose. Kenny chuckled but Jay glared at him. "Kenny, I CAN set her loose on you." He said as a warning.
Kenny sighed and gave her the toy, causing her to be happy again. Nio went back upstairs to change. Jay played with Loui for a bit and told Kenny to go get dressed. Lucky was already dressed and ready for the beach. Kenny ran back downstairs and tapped on his phone.
Nio came back downstairs in a tank top and jeans. Lucky's eyes widened at the amount of scars he had. "Daddy are you ok?" She asked Nio smiled and scooped her up. "Yes you little munchkin. They are old." That's all he said, noticing that Kenny was staring at them and had a questioning look on his face.
"Ok, let's gooo." Jay announced and they walked outside. Kenny and Jay took off quickly, their powerful wings and tails propelling them. Nio helped Lucky with the wind and gliding. "Daddy, how can they do it so easily?" She asked, resting on a building. "Well, they are dragon hybrids so their tails can help them balance out. We have hollow bones which help us fly. It takes a bit of work to get the wings working. Especially when you have to grow into them." Nio explained, helping her up.
She smiled and they flew to the beach, Jay and Kenny already had set up where they were swimming. Jay smiled when Nio helped Lucky land. Kenny was already in the water. Nio put sunscreen on Lucky and let her go play. Jay kissed his cheek and sat on the beach towel. Nio laughed and took off his shirt.
"You gonna just sit there hubby." Nio said with a twinkle in his eye. Jay sighed and took off his shirt, He stood up and they splashed in the water for a few hours. "It's 5." Nio said and Jay nodded. They collected the stuff and flew home. They all showered. "What is it Kenny?" Nio asked when he realized Kenny was smiling at him.
"Scars." Was all he said.
Nio sighed and Jay came in with Lucky. They sat down next to Nio.
"Well when I was younger I used to be part of a fighting ring. I was forced to fight until uh he found me and even then it was a looonng road for me to ever be free from that place. When you guys get older I will show you guys pictures but now we are here." Nio finished. He didn't really want to get into a lot of the details.
Kenny nodded and stood up. He hugged Nio and Jay allowed Lucky to join in on the hug. Nio pulled Jay close and they felt like a family.
