Part Two: Ch. 22

Lennon was busy cooing over Octavia while Vincent watched from across the room.

"You can hold her, you know?" Tatum chuckled lightly at Vincent.

"Not a chance. Bella will be able to smell her on me." Vincent explained. "She can be mad at all of you, I'll remain on her good side."

Tatum just nodded his head in understanding. "She's worse than you when Jake and Terrance brought Emily home."

"I grew up with KJ and Todd.. Bella doesn't have anyone else around her age so it's understandable." Vincent looked over at Lennon who was now cradling Octavia in his arms.

*Mate looks good with a baby..* Axe whispered.

*Axe.* Vincent warned.

*Lets give him one.* Axe purred.

*Stop it.* Vincent frowned.

"You good?" Tatum asked while poking Vincents' cheek.

Vincent quickly swatted away Tatums' hand. "It's just Axe being Axe." He explained. "So tell me what happened."

Tatum let out a heavy sigh. "I practically told Theo that he wasted his time learning to cook because he'll always be shit at it." Tatum dropped his head in his hands.

"You said that?!" Vincent growled.

"Not those exact words but pretty much.." Tatum let out a frustrated sigh.

Vincent just snorted. "Jackass."

"I know... He's been gone since after Oliver showed up. He helped me get Octavia settled in here and left.. he hasn't been back since then." Tatum cleared his throat, trying to hide his voice breaking. "He doesn't want me again."

"Again?" Vincent frowned.

"When we first met.." Tatum paused. "Wait.. that's it!" Tatum jumped up from the bed.

"What!" Vincent jumped up with him.

"Will you take Octavia and send Theodore in here?" Tatum questioned.

"Uh?" Vincent frowned.

"Three days, Vin.." Tatum pleaded. "Please."

"Okay." Vincent agreed. "Does she have a bag?"

"Here." Tatum handed him a bag. "Also you'll need to feed her in about twenty minutes, every hour."

"Wait, seriously?" Vincent asked, a bit surprised.

"She's a baby dragon, Vin. She'll feed like crazy for the next year or so." Tatum rushed out, shooing them through the door.

Lennon happily walked out the door with Octavia while Vincent was taking his sweet time. "Are you sure you want me to take her? She might come back a hardened criminal."

"Get out, Vincent!" Tatum growled.

"Okay, okay. I'm going.." Vincent stopped and turned to face Tatum. "What if I need.."

Tatum slammed the door on Vincent before he could even finish his question.

"Stop bothering him." Lennon laughed. "Come on, we got a babysitting gig." Lennon smiled down at Octavia.

Vincent happily followed Lennon back into the living room and got comfortable on the couch while Lennon snuggled up next to him with Octavia.

"Tatum needs you." Vincent told Theodore once he saw the frown on his face.

"Is he okay?" Theodore asked while quickly getting to his feet.

"I don't know.. He said something about being tired of the pain and wanting to end it all." Vincent shrugged.

"WHAT!" Theodore shouted before disappearing.

Lennon elbowed Vincent and frowned at him. "That's not funny."

"He would have stayed here and argued with me if I wasn't a little dramatic." Vincent chuckled.

"Don't do that again, Vincent." Trixie said sternly.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry." Vincent sighed but rolled his eyes. "It won't happen again."

"Hey, Len.." Lily spoke barely above a whisper.

Lennon glanced from Octavia over to his parents. "Yes?"

"Would you like to meet your uncle Xander?" Lily asked.

Lennons' entire body stiffened but Vincent was quick to try and soothe him. "Maybe another day?" Vincent suggested which Lily nodded her head in understanding.

"Where is Bella?" Vincent asked no one in particular.

"Emily, Macy and KJ are with her in the garden." Kane answered.

"How bad is it?" Vincent asked.

"She threw her sippy cup at the TV when I glanced over at Octavia because she was crying." Kane stated calmly and motioned towards the newly cracked screen.

"Damn." Vincent chuckled. "That sucks.."

"Just wait, Vincent.." Kane glared at him. "She'll react way, way worse when she catches you with Octavia. You are her favorite, *bubba.*"

"KJ is her favorite." Vincent chuckled. "She just doesn't understand that though."

"RIght."

The second Theodore blinked into his room, he was tackled to the ground by a very naked Tatum who immediately had Theodore pinned underneath him.

"What are you doing?" Theodore asked with narrowed eyes.

"I'm going to remind you, who the fuck you belong too." Tatum growled.

"Get off." Theodore glared at him.

"*Make me, baby*" Tatum mocked.

Theodore glared at Tatum hard before his eyes instinctively landed on the white scar on his cheek. He gave Tatum another hard glare before he flipped them over and slammed his lips on Tatums. He pulled away slightly and gripped Tatums' jaw. "*You belong to me.*" Theodore growled before he sank his teeth into Tatums' neck.

Tatum let out a soft moan while his hips instinctively started to grind against Theodores, earning himself a deep groan from him.

Theodore gently removed his teeth from Tatums neck and was licking his mark clean. Theodore stood up and stared down at Tatum who was currently breathing heavily. "Bed. All fours. Now." Theodore commanded.

Tatum wasted no time on getting up and rushing towards the bed. He climbed on the bed and did what Theodore said.

Theodore grabbed Tatums' hips and pulled him towards the edge of the bed. Tatum let out a soft groan while he stretched out and wiggled his ass up against Theodores' crotch.

Theodore sent a hard slap to Tatums bare ass. "Lets' see who will win this time.." Theodore growled.

"Daddy! Daddy! Dad.." Isabella came running into the living room but stopped when she saw Octavia, who was sitting in a bouncer. She sent a sharp glare towards Vincent who was apparently way too close for Isabellas' liking.

"Bella. Come here." Vincent waved Isabella over towards him but instead she turned around and ran to KJ.

"Looks like you're on the shit list with the rest of us." Kane laughed.

Vincent frowned and marched right over to KJ who was now holding Isabella. "Listen here little lady..." Vincent reached for Isabella, pulling her into his arms but Isabella wasn't having any of it. She let out her best little growl while throwing little punches at him. "Stop it, Bella. You're being ridiculous."

"Alright, that's enough, Isabella." Kane tried to hold in his laughter. "Octavia is just a baby.."

"I BABY!" Isabella screamed, making the room go silent. "I baby.." Isabella whispered and started to tear up.

"Princess, you will always be our baby." Kane reassured while he wrapped his arms around his children.

"Lie." Isabella pouted while nuzzling her nose in Vincents' neck.

"Oh, baby girl.." Trixie cooed.

"Bella, look at me." Vincent tried to pull her away slightly but Isabella latched onto him, shaking her head no. Vincent just held her tighter. "Noone on this earth could ever take your place, Bella. You are our Bella." Vincent cooed while placing a soft kiss on the top of her head.

"And will always be our baby." Trixie said while gently rubbing her back.

"Pomise?" Isabella hiccuped.

"Promise." All three of the chimed at the same time.

"Fuck me, baby. That was.. fucking wild." Theodore breathed out heavily. "Where's the key?" Theodore chuckled while rattling the cuffs tying him to the bed.

Tatum chuckled, reached up and unlocked the cuffs. "I won."

"Indeed you did, babe." Theodore chuckled, still taking in deep breaths."If you fuck me like that everytime.. You can win all the time."

"Theo.." Tatum began.

"It's okay." Theodore interrupted him.

"No it's not." Tatum stopped him. "I was a complete jackass. I am so thankful that you took the time to learn how to cook for me, I truly am." Tatum caressed Theodores' cheek.

"Just wait until I cook for you.. then you'll really show me how sorry you were.." Theodore winked at him.

"Stop it." Tatum blushed.

"You're going to act all shy and bashful after what you just did to me?" Theodore raised an eyebrow at him.

Tatum covered his face with his hands. "You're too much."

Theodore just laughed and rolled onto his side, snuggling up next to Tatum. "I love you so much.."

"I love you too." Tatum smiled at him.

"I'm sorry for leaving you alone these past few days.." Theodore whispered into Tatums neck. "I should have been there.."

"It's okay..." Tatum placed a soft kiss on Theodores lips.

"I don't know how the hell I got so lucky with you.." Theodore mumbled.

"Mmm, I'm not sure." Tatum pretended to be in thought. "Must have been your dashing good looks or your damn good cock."

"You are so annoying." Theodore snorted.

"Lets go again." Tatum playfully snarled while pushing Theodore on his back.

"Hot damn!"
