Part Two: Ch. 21

"Why did you leave?" Lily asked in a whisper.

After letting Xander out, everyone headed upstairs and were now gathered in Kanes' living room.

"You left me so you could kidnap the King of Hells' mate and try to reproduce with her?" Lily asked with a hint of anger.

"Yeah but as you can tell, that didn't work out well. Kane, happily kept me locked up for the past eighteen, nineteen years." Xander snorted with a short chuckle.

"You're an asshole." Lily grumbled.

Xander shrugged. "I wouldn't have gone through with it.."

"I know. You're not a rapist.." Lily smiled sadly.

"Wait.. So you kidnapped me for no reason?!" Trixie screeched.

"Sorry.." Xander shrugged.

Kane was just sitting there, staring at Xander.

"What?" Xander frowned.

"I'm going to kill you." Kane said calmly before lunging for him. He was too fast for Theodore to stop and had Xander pinned on the ground with his hands wrapped around his throat. Lily was screaming hysterically while Theodore was trying to pull Kane off of him. "Do you have any idea what I went through when you took her!? She was pregnant! The stress could have made her lose our baby! You were slowly killing me!"

Trixie leaned over Kanes' back and wrapped her arms around him. "Let him go." Trixie whispered softly.

Kane let out a loud growl before pulling Xander up slightly. "Don't fucking play with me, Xander." Kane threw him on the ground harshly and stood up while wrapping his arm around Trixie and sitting back down on the couch.

Xander stood up while straightening out his clothes. "Any who. I want to meet my nephew." Xander spoke as if Kane didn't just try to kill him.

"You can't." Theodore answered.

"Why not?" Xander frowned.

"He just fully mated with his mate." Theodore shrugged.

"WHAT!" Set yelled.

"Calm down." Theodore rolled his eyes. "He's fine."

"He is not! The spell just broke and so it'll take some time for all of his abilities to come in!" Set stressed. "He will still heal like a normal human! Take me to him right now!"

"If Vincent marked him, then he'll heal fine." Kane reassured.

"Weeeell.." Theodore drew out.

"Take me to him right now!" Set growled out.

"You can't go!" Theodore growled back. "He's probably asleep right now and I don't think Vincent or more so his beast will want anyone near him at the moment."

"This is shit. I'll find him myself." Set growled and before anyone could object, he disappeared without a second thought.

"Dammit!" Theodore growled while jumping to his feet.

"Leave it alone." Kane chuckled. "Vincent can handle him... plus he's literally right down the hallway."

Theodore glanced over towards Vincents' hallway before letting out an annoyed huff and sitting back down.

"Set can heal him.. We both talked about this already.. Set just wants to heal him and make sure he's okay." Lily reassured them.

"Thank you." Trixie smiled sweetly at her. "Would you like to help me with some drinks and stuff for everyone?"

"Of course." Lily smiled while the two of them headed off towards the kitchen.

***Three days later.***

Vincents' eyes snapped open and was greeted with a grinning Isabella hovering over his head.

"Stinky." Isabella grinned.

Vincent frowned but a small smile broke out on his lips. "What are you doing in here, Bella?"

"I told you, she could wake him up." Trixie chuckled.

Vincent shot up in a sitting position, making Isabella roll backwards with a loud squeal that ended in giggles.

"Why are you all in my room?!" Vincent screeched. "Where is Lennon?!" Vincent started to get out of bed but was stopped by Kane.

"Relax. Lennon is eating lunch with his parents. They are in the dining room, okay?" Kane smiled awkwardly. "You need to shower.. you've been asleep for three days."

"WHAT!" Vincent yelled, making Isabella jump down from the bed and run to Trixie. "I'm sorry.. I just need to see Lennon." Vincent stated while standing up from his bed. Trixie squeaked while covering Isabellas' eyes.

"For the love of.. just put on some pants Vincent!!" Kane growled.

"Oh.." Vincent blushed while quickly covering himself up. "Three days?"

"What do you remember?" Kane questioned.

"I remember I was watching TV after giving Lennon some medicine.." Vincent frowned in thought. "I woke up to Set.. he was just sitting next to Lennon while he rubbed Lennons' arm.. he said he was just helping Lenny.."

"Anything else?" Kane asked.

"I couldn't fall back asleep so I kept watching TV.. then Lennon woke up.." Vincent gasped while his hand instinctively went to his neck. "He marked me.." Vincent quickly made his way towards his bathroom. A huge grin made his way across his face when he saw the marking on his neck.

"I guess the spell Set put on Lennon all those years ago wasn't completely broken, gone or whatever.. So when you marked him, it was still 'protecting' him.. Set removed it completely.. Which is why you both slept for so long. Your mind, body and soul was needing the time to connect with each other." Kane explained. "Get cleaned up, baby. Lennon and lunch will be waiting for you when you're done."

~ ~ ~

"About time you showed up." Theodore chuckled.

Lennon whipped his head around with a french fry between his lips. Lennon quickly pulled the fry from his lips. "Want some?" Lennon asked, holding out the fry towards him.

Vincent grabbed Lennons' hand and pulled him up towards him, engulfing him in a hug. He pulled back slightly, cupping Lennnons' cheeks. "How are you feeling, baby?"

"I'm great!" Lennon chirped. "How are *you* feeling?" Lennon frowned, he let his fingers skim over his mark on Vincents' neck. "I bit you pretty hard.."

"That's not the only thing that was hard." Vincent whispered huskily in Lennons' ear. Lennons' entire face and neck turned a dark crimson.

"Stop it.." Lennon whispered while nudging him with his elbow.

"If you two are done, we have some things we need to discuss." Kanes' voice echoed throughout the room.

Lennon grabbed Vincents' hand and pulled him towards the table while Vincent held a smug look on his face.

Trixie came back with a burger and fries. "Eat slow. You should be eating something lite but I know Axe hates soup so just.. eat slow."

Vincent nodded his head and smiled. "Thanks, Mama."

"So Vincent, I need you to listen first and then ask any questions later." Kane stated. "Okay?"

Vincent frowned but nodded his head anyways.

Kane made his way towards the front door and let in Oliver. "Vincent, this is Oliver."

"Nice to meet you kiddo." Oliver stuck his hand out for Vincent to shake it but quickly dropped it when all Vincent did was glare at him.

Kane rolled his eyes. "Oliver this is Lennon."

Vincent growled when Oliver tried to shake Lennons' hand. "Don't touch him." Vincent snarled.

Set let out a snorted chuckle but tried to cover it up with a small cough when Lily elbowed him. "Sorry." Set cleared his throat but he couldn't hide the small smile when he saw Vincent crack a smile at him.

"Relax.." Lennon whispered and placed a soft kiss on Vincents' cheek.

Vincent smiled at Lennon. "Okay." Vincent turned back to his food. "Tell me your story then, *Oliver.*"

It only took about an hour for Oliver to explain everything and another thirty minutes for Kane and Lennon to calm down a raging Vincent.

Vincent was taking in deep breaths while Lennon was rubbing his arms and shoulders, trying to get him to calm down.

"Okay, okay.." Vincent exhaled heavily one last time. "I want double the amount of guards on Bella." Vincent demanded.

"Obviously." Kane scoffed.

"Good, good." Vincent nodded his head. He looked over at Theodore. "Where is Octavia? I want to meet her."

"Vincent, about that. I think it's best that you aren't seen with her around Issy.. She has not been so welcoming.." Kane frowned. "Jealousy.."

"Octavia is in the room with Tatum." Theodore answered.

"Bella will be fine." Vincent grabbed Lennons' hand and started walking towards Tatums' and Theodores' room. "You coming?" Vincent looked over at Theodore but Theodore just shook his head and looked elsewhere.

"That was weird." Lennon whispered while they continued towards the room.

"Which part?" Vincent chuckled.

"All of it.. I have another.. uncle.." Lennon barely whispered.

Vincent stopped in his tracks and turned towards Lennon. "I won't let anything happen to you." Vincent cupped his face while his thumbs rubbed his cheeks.

"I know." Lennon smiled up at him. "Come on, let's go meet the latest addition to your family." Lennon started pulling him back down the hallway.

"*Our* family." Vincent smiled sweetly at him.

"I love you." Lennon kissed Vincents' cheek.

"I love you too." Vincent smiled down at him.

Vincent knocked on their bedroom door and was shocked when a very distraught Tatum answered the door.

"Vinny?" Tatum frowned at him.

"What's wrong?" Vincent asked with concern.

Tatum just stared at him before his eyes filled up with tears. "I fucked up."
