Nikky laughed. "Well we'll just haveta beat it outta them, now won't we??" She grinned before patting the spot next to her lightly. "With me as a mother and you as a father, I doubt our kids will be horribly disrespectful... If anything we could just make Rude babysit." She cracked up at that thought.

Reno cracked up as well, nearly doubling over at the thought. "Somehow, I do not picture Rude as a poster boy for model parenting... sure, the guy half raised me and all, but we all see how THAT turned out." He scooted closer to Nikky and kissed her neck. "Of course, I'm not what you would call father of the year material, but at least I know what NOT to do." He kissed her again... "Like I said, I don't want to start thinking about having kids too soon... but geez, it's kinda hard, sitting next to a potential mom as hot as you..."

Nikky laughed and leaned into his kisses. "Don't get too carried away... don't want kids right now, do we?" She teased snuggling him. "Don't worry too much about kids and stuff... we can finish raising Lekki and then think more about it... this kid will teach you some stuff you'll need to commit to memory." She laughed a bit, leaning over and kissing him gently.

He kissed her back, smiling. "Such as, never let Two-Tone or any of her crazy-a** brothers out of my sight for a minute, 'cause every time they disappear, they always drag back orphans and lost puppies." He kissed her ear and nibbled it teasingly. "It's like they have a Lost-Cause-O-Meter built into their personal radar. You mark my words, when Two-Tone and Silence get back, they'll both have at least one social reject in tow, and every one of 'em will be dirt-broke to boot." He cuddled against her.

Nikky laughed and snuggled, yawning a bit. "Yeah... good point. It can't be that bad though. They did find me baby brother..." She grinned and moved to kiss him back and return his favors. She pulled him back on the bed with her and cuddled against him better. "Where did those two go?" She asked curiously. "They never really said anything... only that it seemed to be urgent or something."

"Some kinda personal odyssey thing, like outta Roots or whatever," Reno sighed, nuzzling her. "I don't get why Snowball was so worked up over it. The way I see it, I get a vacation from having two consciences." He brushed his lips over her neck to stave off further questions... he knew perfectly well what they were gone to do and find. He'd been with Shinra for a long time, he knew the stories But the story was too long, and too angsty... and he had the feeling Vincent would not treat him gently if he shared it.

"Ah..." She giggled and squirmed a bit before snuggling to get comfortable. "Thats cool I guess. I'll just bug em about it when they get back." She added cheerily, not thinking too hard about it. Too tired for that.
*~*~*
After a few hours or so Kamen started to wake back up, his sleepiness lasting in short spurts usually. He looked around and saw that everyone was asleep. Ah... better not wake them. Eek, that could end bad. He laughed silently, shifting to sit up better. He took this time to think things over....

Loz was conked out in front of the TV, sprawled over a chair, his mouth hanging open, snoring loudly. The television was still playing loud, chaotic, colorful toons at half-volume. Meanwhile, Kadaj was curled up at the top of the bed, head buried in his arms, shivering and muttering in his sleep. He muttered every single night, always had since he was four years old...
****
Reno kissed her lips tenderly, pulling her closer. "Is your brother a heavy sleeper?"

Kamen looked at them and couldn't help but laugh. He stopped abruptly. How do I sleep?? I've never thought about that... He started thinking about it.
*~*~*
Nikky laughed softly and kissed him back. "He hasn't woken up yet...'' She grinned a bit. "Why...?"

Reno smiled, cradling her in his arms. "Just wondering what we could get away with sleeping three feet away from him." He nuzzled his hair against the side of her face, recalling her many references to her favor towards it...
****
Kadaj's mumbling was interrupted. He stirred, and his eyes opened. They methodically darted around the room in search of threats and found none. He lifted his head to look more directly at Kamen. "Taking first shift, huh?" He dropped his head again with a groan. "I do not envy you."

Nikky laughed and snuggled against him. "Aw... okay. Thats cool. But kids have bad habits of walking in at the wrong time..." She grinned a bit and leaned into his hair, giggling. "It tickles you jerk." She teased playfully.
*~*~*
Kamen was only mildly startled. He looked over. "Oh... heh. I figured since you two were sleeping I could stay up a bit. I'm not too tired anymore..." He paused. "You should go back to sleep though. You still look like you were hit by a bus." He grinned a bit.

Kadaj sighed. "I'm working on it." He got rid of his coat and tried curling up again. "A bit of free advice: trying to sleep while wearing leather pants-- bad idea." He yanked a blanket over himself. "I keep having the same d**n nightmare."
****
"Oh, does it?" Reno teased back. "Tickles, you say? You're ticklish?" He nuzzled her face some more. "You sure you don't want my hair cut? Huh? Huh?" He rubbed his hands over her back, laughing quietly.

Kamen nodded, laughing quietly. "I'll keep that in mind." He shifted a bit and slid down in the chair, leaning on his elbow. "Nightmare?" He asked casually, not sure if Kadaj was up to talking. He was rather bored.
*~*~*
Nikky laughed and lightly batted him away. "Hey! Thats not fair." She snuggled some. "And you better not.... I like your hair just the way it is." She grinned slightly.

Kadaj looked at Kamen sharply. "The puppet's last stand. When the puppet tries to take the puppeteer's place... only chaos can follow." He sighed. "I can still see it." He looked down into his empty hands. "My mother's head. She integrated it into my own cells. The raw material was all there. Then my consciousness was lost completely. And then it returned, and I was dying. That's the part where I wake up." He leaned back against the headboard... the dim light of the TV set showed he was in a cold sweat.
****
He came back and nuzzled her again. "All's fair in love... and... well, more love." He laughed, cuddling her, and kissed the smile he had come to love so much.

Kamen bit at his slightly dry lips, thinking it over as he stared at the floor. He swallowed a bit, having no idea what to really say. He sighed, stuck on words. He felt like he needed to help, do or say something... but he had no idea what. He could honestly say he knew nothing about dreams, or how to talk about them.
He looked over, watching him for a minute. The tension making him uneasy. "Do... do you have strong feelings about something close to that? Like regret, anger, fear.... Emotions create dreams... or nightmares, depending on the emotion and how strong it is." He was thinking as he went, hoping it might work. "If you can ease your subconcious mind enough to where you don't worry or fear, or whatever about it... then you might be able to sleep again...."
He thought it sounded sane and reasonable, Lekki used to have nightmares where he would wake up screaming. Kamen had no idea what to do so he had the boy talk about, explain it in full detail. The boy was terrified that he would get abandoned again and left to die in a place where no one loved him.... after he was shown he had no reason to fear that, his nightmares faded.
*~*~*
Nikky laughed and kissed him back, wrapping her arms around him to kiss him better. "I know that baby... alls wel that ends well." She kissed him again and nuzzled him a little, smiling.
Lekki rolled over and shifted under the blanket, making a face and gripping his hair in his sleep. His hair was rather long and uneven, most likely in need of a cut....
