Part Two: Ch. 39

Lennon climbed onto Vincent, resting his body on his, ignoring the creamy texture from his release. "I'm going to lay my head down and when I look back up.. I want to see those fiery eyes." Lennon stated while resting his head on Vincents' chest.

"Yes sir." Vincent chuckled while wrapping his arms around Lennon, both hands gently rubbing his back. Vincent closed his eyes while taking in a deep breath.

*I don't like this.* Axe grumbled.

*He has the right to be with Lennon just as much as we do* Vincent argued back.

*So he gets to ignore us our entire life, take control over us whenever wants and now that we found our mate.. we have to share??* Axe growled but was cut short when a hard slap cut both Vincent and him from their internal dialogue.

Vincents' eyes snapped open and was staring at a very angry Lennon in shock. "You slapped me?" Vincent sputtered out.

"No. I slapped Axe." Lennon snapped back. "For being a jerk."

*I'm a jerk?!?* Axe shouted. *HOW?!*

*Stop fucking yelling!* Vincent growled.

*He hasn't been interest until now!* Axe snarled. *So why should we care what he wants??*

*He's a part of us whether you like it or not!* Vincent growled back. *He didn't even know we found our mate until we marked him!*

*Because he hides away in a fucking closet!* Axe argued. *He can stay there!*

Vincent was brought from his thoughts when he heard his bedroom door slam shut. "Lenny.. wait!" Vincent called after him. Vincent quickly got up, putting some shorts on and chasing after him. "Lennon.." Vincent whispered while grabbing ahold of his arms and pulling him flush against his chest before he could walk out the front door. "Please don't leave.."

"I'm not going to sit around and listen to this nonsense." Lennon frowned while jerking himself out of Vincents' grip.

"Please, Lenny.." Vincent reached a hand out and gently grabbed Lennons. "Lets just talk to Axe, we can convince him.."

*No.* Axe growled.

"It's not his choice! If I want to talk to *him* then I should be able to! Axe doesn't get to control who I talk to, especially if they're a part of you, a part of being my mate!" Lennon argued back.

"I'm sorry.. Just please don't leave.." Vincent begged, his eyes pleading with Lennon

"I.. I'm going home." Lennon mumbled, lowering his gaze while turning around and walking out the door, leaving Vincent frozen in his spot.

*This is your fault!* Vincent snarled at Axe who all of sudden went quiet. *What? Don't have some asshole comeback now?*

"Sweetie?" Trixies' voice echoed in Vincents' ears.

Vincent swirled around and wasn't surprised to see practically his entire family sitting in the living room. Vincent didn't say anything but instead headed back to his room, ignoring everyone in the living room.

*You just had to open your stupid fucking mouth!* Vincent snarled while slamming his bedroom door shut.

*You didn't like the idea either!* Axe argued.

*But I wasn't going to deny Lennon or our other half the chance of meeting..* Vincent let out a heavy sigh while sitting down in his recliner.

*But he's never talked to us, never interacted with us.. now he does?* Axe scowled. *Plus how do we even have him? Aren't phoenix only suppose to shift once they find their mates?*

*Axe, you dunce.* Vincent growled. *We've never shifted into that form.*

*No, I mean, they aren't born until they meet their mates..* Axe scoffed. *How is it that we were born with ours?*

Vincent took in a deep breath while rubbing his eyes. *If I had an answer for you, don't you think I would have told you by now. We're just different.. Maybe that's why our phoenix never had anything to do with us, maybe he was waiting for our mate.* Vincent shrugged.

Axe just scowled while contemplating Vincents' words. *Why doesn't he talk then? Mom and grandpa say they don't even hear their phoenix thoughts, they're just one, like demons. So why are we different?*

*I don't know!!* Vincent snapped back. *Please just let me rest while you think of a way to make things right with our Lenny.*

*He'll get over it.* Axe huffed.

*I'll block you from ever being with him again!* Vincent threatened.

*I didn't do anything!! Protecting him is wrong??* Axe defended.

*Protecting him isn't wrong but the way you went about it was wrong!* Vincent countered.

Axe didn't say anything back, he kept quiet while he pulled away. Vincent let out a sigh of relief and tried to lay down to relax.

A soft knock sounded from the other side of his bedroom door. "Vinny?" Trixies' soft voice whispered from the other side. "Are you okay, baby? Can I come in?"

"Yeah.." Vincent mumbled lowly but Trixie still heard him and entered.

"Hi, baby." Trixie smiled softly while picking up some discarded clothes from the floor and putting them in Vincents' hamper.

"You don't have to do that, Mama." Vincent frowned but Trixie was already sitting down next to him on the bed.

"Stop speaking nonsense." Trixie smiled while brushing aside his black hair off his forehead. "Now tell me what happened."

"Axe is a jackass and upset Lenny." Vincent shrugged but Trixie could see the hurt and fear hidden in his eyes.

"What did Axe say or do?" Trixie cupped his cheek. "You don't have to act so tough in front of me, Vincent."

Vincents' face fell slightly. "Our phoenix wants to meet Lennon and Axe reacted.. not so nicely.."

Trixies' eyes jumped in surprise. "I thought we'd never get to meet him.." Trixie frowned. "I feel my phoenix call out to him but he never responds.."

"I don't know, Mama.." Vincent sighed while laying his head on Trixies lap, hugging her. "Why can't I just be normal.."

Trixie wrapped her arms around him, trying to comfort him. "Normal is so boring, baby. Your father and I aren't normal.. Your uncles sure the hell aren't normal. Our family is the most abnormal thing in this world." Trixie chuckled. "And I wouldn't trade you for anything, ever."

Vincent just snorted but smiled up at his mother. "Thank you, Mama."

"You tell Axe to stop being a shithead or I'll kick his ass." Trixie grinned while placing a soft kiss on his forehead. "Come on. Lets get something to eat." Trixie tapped Vincents' shoulders while scooting off the bed.

"I don't want to go.." Vincent whispered.

Trixie gave Vincent a soft smile. "I'll bring you something." Trixie quietly closed his door behind her.

"Hey, princess." Kane whispered while wrapping his arms around Trixies' waist. "Is Vincent okay? Do I need to go check on him?"

"No. No. He's okay.." Trixie set down the bowl of fruit she was putting together and turned around in his arms. "Axe upset Lennon and so Vincent is trying to deal with that." Trixie slid her hands up Kanes' chest while leaning up on her toes.

Kane grinned while leaning down, hovering his lips right above Trixies, aiming to get a kiss but Trixie moved her head at last second and whispered in his ear. "Go take this to your son." Trixie placed a soft kiss right below Kanes' ear and pulled away and handed him the bowl of fruit.

Kane frowned while grabbing the bowl. "Tease." Trixie just giggled while turning around to grab another bowl of fruit. Kane sent a hard slap to Trixies' ass, making her squeal but quickly ran off towards Vincents' room.

*Go back and bend her over the fucking counter!* Goliath growled.

*Calm down!* Kane chuckled. *We'll take care of her later. First lets make sure our pup is okay.*

"Wait for me!" Trixie squealed while running up behind Kane.

Kane stopped and stuck out his arm for Trixie to grab ahold of. "Are you ready, my queen?" Trixie giggled while grabbing his arm and nodding her head. "Then lets go!"

Trixie went to knock on Vincents' door but Kane beat her by just walking in. "Vin?" Kane called out.

"Oh, hello father. How kind of you to knock." Vincent sneered.

Kane just scoffed. "My roof, pup." Kane handed Vincent the bowl of fruit before laying across on the end of his bed.

"You know Goliath has upset me plenty of times.." Trixie spoke with a shrug while eating some of her own fruit. "And he always comes back begging me for forgiveness."

Kane heard Goliath let out a scoff but he didn't argue. "I think what your mother is trying to say is, that Axe will make it right." Kane chuckled. "She just likes to give Goliath a hard time."

"I've noticed." Vincent mumbled while staring down at his bowl of fruit.

"Hey!" Kane shouted excitedly. "We have a surprise for you!"

Trixie frowned at Kane, confused but quickly raised her brows in realization. "Oh! Yes!"

"What is it?" Vincent asked, his gloomy mood perking up slightly.

"You'll have to wait until after dinner!" Kane grinned.

"What! Why can't you just tell me now!" Vincent whined.

"That defeats the whole purpose of a surprise!"
