    Blake wanted to speak in a girl's way. He wanted to flip his hair and say 'oh most def'. But he decided against that for all the times people questioned his sexuality. And anyways, now was not a time in the discussion to make Faye think he was gay... again.
    Her voice told him that this was actually something she was considering. The way that her eyes lit up and her grin told him that she wanted this. It was easy for him to tell that she was being serious.
    And who wouldn't be when it came to this topic?
    But he had to be casual... calm... cool and collected. Manly.
    Blake puffed out his chest as if he were going to say something macho, but he ended up laughing, breaking into a grin and saying: "Well, I mean... yea. Definitely."

    Zakai didn't let himself throw up. He wanted to still be okay, so he stood up and stepped outside and... felt wobbly... like jello... what was wrong with him?
    The child regained his posture and looked around for a moment. He was shaking... more than before... so that was why. He needed to stop. He bit his lip and then wondered what they were supposed to do. Anything? Just leave? He felt strange and didn't know what he wanted to do anyway. He hadn't eaten anything but.. there was no way he was going to eat anything right now or he really would throw up. The thought of any type of food disgusted him at the moment after what had happened. Maybe he should just lie down?
    He looked to Colton and Adalia, feeling lost, but he wished he hadn't. They didn't look too good either.

    The boy still looked sick and even shakier than he had been previously, that was something Colton noticed right away. He wanted to get Zakai somewhere where he could lay down or sit down and just relax. So he put a hand on the boy's shoulder and led him out of the bunker.
    He knew his way through the White House probably better than even Clayton did. When he had been living here he took it upon himself to adventure when he was bored. So going back up to the main floor was easy for him.
    He found his way to the living room where he did release Zakai's shoulder.
    "Here, you can lay down in here." He offered to the child. He had also released his hold on Adalia because he was now looking for something.

    Zakai let himself be led by the shoulder to the living room without really noticing it until they got there. He was still lost in though, but when Colton let go of him, the child looked around and nodded, then turned and went to a couch. He really didn't feel good. His stomach was doing flips and his heart was racing a thousand miles per hour, it felt like. He bit his lip and turned onto his side, curling up. He didn't know what to do at the moment. He still wanted to be okay.. but he didn't know how to be.
    He closed his eyes and sighed. Today was not good.

    Colton ended up finding a throw blanket that had been hanging over the chair in a crumpled up fashion. He used that to cover Zakai up with and then he at last took a seat on a chair. He was soon joined by Adalia who curled up into his lap and used his chest as her own personal pillow. She slowly wrapped her hands around his sides and tried to hang onto him as tightly as she could.
    This is better, she thought, much better. All she wanted right now was to just latch onto her husband and not let go until those images and that screaming was out of her head. She had done that. She didn't know what's it would do. She had thought... well she didn't know what she had thought. She knew it would kill him, yes. She had discovered that in the binder.
    But she didn't know that's how it would kill him. When she closed her eyes she could still see the blood and so she had to force herself to keep her eyes open.
    There was soft footsteps from upstairs and then they were coming down the stairs. Dix and Clayton both appeared in the doorway of the living room. Dix was holding Spring who was only allowing it because Clayton had found one of Colton's old shirts and put it over Dix's shoulder so that Spring would be okay with Dix holding her as Clayton worked.
    Now though, Dix passed the squirming baby over to Adalia who had opened up one of her arms and accepted her baby into her lap in a cove between her stomach and Colton's.
    Both the vice president and the president took seats in chairs. But neither of them said anything just yet.

    Zakai took the blanket and pulled it around himself as tightly as he could. The room felt strange and heavy. It definitely wasn't something that he liked, but he wasn't sure how he'd like the sound of talking either. Things felt weird. His shaking refused to let up though his stomach had settled down a bit. He was tired, but he didn't want to sleep. Sleeping meant nightmares, and he didn't want to know where they'd take him this time. He didn't even want to let himself think because his thoughts were along the same lines that his nightmares would probably be but.. he didn't know.
    He almost turned onto his other side when Clayton and Dix walked in, to which the child watched them for a moment, then sat up. He was still pretty much bundled into a ball, with his knees at his chest and the blanket draped over his head, held tightly around him, but he felt like he shouldn't be lying down all of the sudden. His mind stopped thinking about everything and he studied them. They didn't leave. That probably meant they had something to say, and whatever they had to say, he felt like he had to protect himself from it. An almost distrusting look came to his eyes as he shifted uneasily and looked at the ground when things remained silent. He didn't know whether to be afraid or not... so he felt afraid anyways, but also defensive.

    Colton didn't understand the silence. The only thing that was breaking it was Spring's fussing and needing to be lifted up which he couldn't do in his position right now. As soon as she realized that she stopped fussing so much and gave up instead.
    He didn't say anything despite how awkward he felt in this silence. Instead he merely watched as the butler came in, laid down a tray of hot cocoas, and then left the room again.
    Clayton smiled when the tray was brought in. He moved his eyes from the tray to his son, "Hot cocoa makes everything better."
    That's what Colton had grown up being told. It must have been something psychological about it because hot cocoa did have its own way of making things a little better, for Colton at least.
    But hot cocoa also reminded him of Admiral Thomas who shared the same belief as his dad that hot cocoa made everything better. So he frowned at it instead.
    "Did Richard tell you anything?" Colton decided to ask when he knew it was just better to get it out of the way.
    "He told me... what he needed to say." Clayton stated slowly. His eldest son was a weirdo. Well, both of his sons were weirdos, but especially Richard. Even when being the bearer of bad news Richard had his own way of making it seem like it was nothing. Like it was just every day chat. He only said things that had to be said and never added the details to it.
    Clayton made a gesture to the hot cocoa, "You should really have some. It's cold outside. Looks like it might start to snow soon."
    Colton looked down at the cups. But his eyes didn't linger on them for long this time. He turned them back up to his dad again.

    Zakai looked at the hot cocoa, and then looked like he hated it for a moment. How could hot cocoa make anything better? Everything was wrong and all it was a drink that tasted good! He felt angry for some reason, not at Clayton, but at the hot cocoa. It was similar to his feelings towards the pillow a long time ago. Why was it like that? Hot cocoa wasn't good at all! It never...! It never...
    Then the angered look disappeared and he looked at Clayton. To this day, he had no idea what to think of the man. He did things that Zakai just did not know how to judge. It was like something that you so badly wanted to like, but couldn't because there was something so wrong with it... but was there really? Clayton was doing exactly what Zakai wanted to do, and that was being okay. Well, maybe he wasn't, but he was the one who lost the most here. He hadn't been the one to see the most, but Thomas was his dear, beloved friend, and here he was being nice and giving people hot chocolate instead of crying or being upset. The child suddenly felt horrible for hating hot chocolate, and took some just because of it and started drinking it. He really wished he could like Clayton and not be so unsure about it. The man was supposed to his....
    He really couldn't let himself get tangled up in admiration at the moment, though, because something had to be said or something that hadn't been said yet, and maybe the hot chocolate wasn't something to make them feel better about what had already happened, but something that was supposed to prepare them for what was coming next.
    He looked at the two of them expectantly, suddenly not so sure about hot chocolate or Clayton or anything anymore.

    Clayton leaned hack in his chair and glanced at Zakai when he felt his eyes on them. A funny look crossed his wrinkled face. "Halloween is soon." He remarked thoughtfully, "I should make treat bags." He looked at Colton, "Are you taking them out for treats? I remember when I used to take you out. Richard was always so stubborn and said he was too mature for it. But you were different. Oh I remember one year- oh what we're you? Who was that? It was some basketball player. I can't remember his name... Anyways, if you don't take them you should spoil them. Movies and candy and staying up late with caramel popcorn."
    Colton had a curious expression now. He leaned back too and looked first at Zakai then Spring. He had a feeling the second option would be better for these kids, especially Zakai who got nervous around people. He was also afraid that seeing kids in costumes might trigger something in the boy too.

    Faye only smiled more at his words. They could be parents! Oh gosh! She couldn't believe that this actually a possibility, and so soon. Faye never even imagined getting married, much less actually being able to have kids and raise a family with Blake! Faye quickly pulled him into another kiss before settling back in her seat.
