Part Two: Ch. 49

"Please don't cry, princess." Kane cooed. "It'll be okay."

"How so!?" Trixie cried. "You just told me our baby is some sort of a target!!"

Kane tightened his grip around Trixie while nuzzling her hair. "I'm not going to let anything happen to him.. You know that, right baby girl?" Trixie just nodded her head while wrapping her arms around Kanes' waist. "Please, calm down baby. It's not good for you or the baby." Kane begged while rubbing soothing circles on her back.

"Is everything okay?" Vincent spoke softly while entering the living room with Lennon wrapped around his arm.

"Please, come sit, baby.." Kane gestured towards the open couch. "I need to talk to you about something serious.."

"Alright.." Vincent frowned but made his way over towards the couch, pulling Lennon into his side after sitting down.

"I'm not going to beat around the bush on this." Kane started. ""Your uncle Tatum and I went to go talk to Sebastian and well.. he sold his soul to the Reaper and named you as the target."

"WHAT!" Lennon shouted while squeezing Vincents' arm tight.

"Wait so Death himself is coming for me?" Vincent chuckled while shaking his head. "So will he emerge from some dark smokey corner with his scythe?"

Lennon gasped while pulling away from him. "This isn't a joke!!"

"Your guys' lives are in danger and you're laughing?" Trixie yelled at Vincent.

"Wait.." Vincent scowled.

Kane let out a heavy sigh while running a hand through his hair. "Vince, this is serious." Kane wrapped an arm around Trixies' waist, whispering in her ear. "It's okay, princess." Trixie took in a deep breath while nodding her head.

"Wait a minute!" Vincent growled. "*Your lives??* .. Lennon is in danger?"

"Yes.. if you wouldn't have jumped to making jokes then.." Kane shook his head. "You two aren't allowed to leave this wing."

"My parents though.." Lennon frowned.

"Your father and mother have already been notified and they're packing up some of your things since you'll be staying here for a little bit." Kane explained.

A huge grin spread across Vincents' face but quickly faded when he felt the worry and fear coming from Lennon. "Hey.." Vincent whispered while wrapping his arms around Lennon. "It's going to be okay.." Lennon just shook his head while trying to bury his face in Vincents' chest. "Lenny, look at me." Vincent cupped Lennons' cheeks while gently rubbing his thumbs across them. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you."

"Well what about you.." Lennon pouted while his lower lip trembled.

"I already have guards posted and I'm not going to let anything happen to you or Vincent." Kane interrupted. "Neither will your father, Lennon."

"Guards, really?" Vincent scoffed. "It's not like we won't see him from a mile away."

"Vincent, he's just a regular guy. He doesn't really look like the Grim Reaper.." Kane gave him a bored stare.

"Well that's no fun." Vincent fake pouted.

"You're so childish!" Lennon scowled while trying to pull himself out of Vincents' arms.

"No.." Vincent quickly pulled Lennon back. "I'm sorry."

"You're acting like this isn't a big deal but it is." Kane growled.

"I know, I know.. I'm sorry." Vincent shook his head. "I'm just not worried.. I mean, you're the King of Hell.. I'm your son. Can he even harm me?"

"I don't know.." Kane shrugged with a defeated sigh. "We'll find out if you end up with a mark."

"You said it'll end up on my chest or neck?" Vincent questioned.

"Yeah.. so um.. no more hickies.." Kane blushed slightly while eyeing the two of them. "For now.."

"I don't like that.. at all." Vincent shook his head with a disgusted look on his face which caused Lennon to blush a deep red.

"You'll be okay." Trixie snorted. "Now.." Trixie quickly wiped her cheeks clear from tears. "I'm going to make us dinner." Trixie got up to leave but quickly placed a kiss on Vincents' cheek. "I love you, my little prince." Trixie whispered in Vincents' ear then walked away.

"Is she okay?" Vincent whispered to his dad.

"She's going to stress cook and bake and you *will* eat everything with a smile. It's how she deals with stress, you know that." Kane sighed.

"She shouldn't be stressed.." Vincent scowled.

"Then go help her cook." Kane mumbled while getting up. "I'm going to go find your grandfather, tell him and pick up Issy. Also I should tell Vlad before he hears about this from someone else. I'll be back shortly."

"Great, they're going to suffocate me." Vincent mumbled.

"Hey.." Lennon whispered. "Lets go help your mom with dinner.. um.. try to take her mind off of things.."

"Yeah, okay.." Vincent smiled while placing a soft kiss on Lennons' lips. "Lets go."

"Danny, help clean up your toys, buddy." KJ tried to persuade him.

"No!" Danny shouted while throwing his plastic dinosaur on the ground.

"Daniel." KJ warned. "Pick it up."

Danny pouted while throwing himself down on the ground, throwing a fit. "No!"

KJ let out a heavy sigh while plopping himself down on the couch in Dannys' room. "I give up.." KJ ran a hand through his hair.

Danny looked over at his father and quickly popped up off the ground. He picked up his dinosaur and walked over to KJ, climbing up into his lap. "Love you, Daddy." Danny whispered while snuggling into KJs' chest.

KJ instinctively wrapped his arms around Danny with a content but tired sigh. "I love you too, baby."

"I clean, Daddy." Danny murmured while climbing down from his lap and started picking up a few of his toys.

*Pup is so precious.* Austin cooed.

*I know, bud.* KJ smiled softly while watching Danny pick up his toys. *He's just a little shit head sometimes.*

*But I love him so much.* Austin purred.

A huge grin spread across KJs' face. *Me too, Aus. Me too.*

"Daddy?" Danny walked back over with his backpack. "Can we see unle Vinnen?"

KJ smiled at him and nodded his head. "Yeah, lets go *uncle Vincent.*" Danny smiled brightly and stuck his hands up in the air to be picked up, which KJ happily did. "Did you remember your car that Papa got you?"

"Yep!" Danny smiled while patting his little backpack.

"Alright, lets get some snacks first." KJ smiled.

"Isawella cookies?" Danny perked up.

KJ threw his head back and laughed. "Most definitely."

After grabbing some snacks, KJ made his way over to Vincents' side of the castle but stopped short when two guards stopped him.

"No one can enter without Mr. Kanes' permission." One of the guards spoke in a monotone voice.

KJ rolled his eyes. "I've clearly been here a million times so chill."

"I don't care." The guard snorted.

"Excuse me?" KJ raised an eyebrow at him.

"Listen pup.." The guard growled, making Danny whimper.

*I'll rip him a part!* Austin roared.

Suddenly the front door to Vincents' wing opened. "You do realize I can hear you out here?" Vincents' annoyed voice echoed in their ears.

"Sorry, my Prince. Just following orders." The guard mentioned.

"Fuck your orders!" Vincent snarled, his eyes landing on a scared looking Danny. Vincent could feel his blood start to boil and it only worsened when his eyes met KJs' angry eyes. "Move." Vincent ordered the guard while motioning KJ into his home.

"Sir, your father gave us strict orders to not let anyone in without his permission!" The guard stressed.

"And how do you think he's going to feel when he finds out how you treated the third in commands pup and grandpup? How do you think General Kol will react after learning that you scared his grandbaby and disrespected his son?" Vincent sneered then slammed the door in his face.

"It was an honest mistake." KJ cleared his throat while rubbing Dannys' back.

"You don't believe that." Vincent snorted. "And don't lie, I can feel your emotions. Plus, I guarantee my father made sure they knew certain people were exempt from that order. He's going to rip that guard apart, not just from the disrespect but because it was you and Danny."

"Lets just talk about something else." KJ gestured towards Danny.

Vincent smiled. "Mom is making dinner so let us go help and wait for my dad to come back with Bella." Vincent walked over to them and reached his hands out for Danny. "Hey, bubba. Lets go get some snacky snacks!"

Danny smiled while lifting his head. "Got cookies for Isawella!" Danny held up his little bag of cookies.

"Alright, lets go, bubba!"
