open to Wendell
It was always nice to spend a long weekend back at the haven. Kellen liked seeing his cousins, who were much more like brothers to him than anything else, and it was good for Kieran to be around family and his pack. The little boy was usually so happy-go-lucky, but for the past few weeks he'd been crankier and more tired than usual. While most of the time, Kieran knew bad dreams were nothing more than bad dreams, the nightmares he'd been having lately had been leaving him hysterical. Kellen wasn't sure what to do about it. No matter how much he assured his son that he was fine, that no one was going to take him away, it never seemed to help and lately it had just made Kieran more upset that Kellen wasn't taking him seriously.

During dinner at the main house, Kieran had fallen asleep at the table while in the middle of eating and Kellen got up to carry him into the living room so that he could tuck him away on the couch. Jeremiah was curled up at the foot of the couch, still in wolf form, and once Kellen had set Kieran down Julie hopped up to curl up with his son, nuzzling against Kieran's chest. Kellen covered Kieran up and pressed a soft kiss to the little boy's forehead before he sighed quietly. It was obvious how concerned he was, it practically poured right off of him.

Vance nodded his head a little bit. Even within in his own pack, Pirate kept to himself. The only person Vance had really seen Pirate at ease with was Louisa. The good thing about Pirate, though, was that once you were in that circle of trust, amazing things happened. Vance had experienced that first hand.

"I push him sometimes," Vance replied softly with a faint smile. "But he needs me to," he added as he got to his feet. "Anyway, I just wanted to tell you. I like telling you things that are going on with me," he said as he went over to press a kiss to Wendell's cheek. "You're okay, right?"

	Wendell laughed a little at Vance's brevity. But he appreciated the update. "Yes, I'm okay." All in all, he was past the stuff that had happened physically. Emotionally, he was having some strange issues with Hunter that he didn't know how to handle, but he couldn't let anyone in the pack know. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vance looper an arm around Wendell's waist and he pressed his face against the older wolf's chest. He just held onto Wen for a little bit, enjoying the comfort that closeness brought. It was obvious that he'd formed a very strong bond with Wendell, and that it wasn't going to go away anytime soon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Wendell returned the hug, liking that Vance felt close to him. They'd been through quite the ordeal together and he was glad that a bond could be formed through it. It was healthy. He patted Vance's back. "I'm really happy that you're happy," he said softly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vance gave Wen a squeeze and just stayed close to him for a moment before he pulled back to look up at him. He couldn't help but be intune to Wendell after what they'd been through, and he sighed softly. "Are you sure you're okay?" he asked softly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

There was a very fine line between lying and keeping things from children. Vance had been through a lot, and Wendell was bent on protecting him as he would any of the younger wolves. He would not put his uncertainties on the boy. "It's a process," he admitted. "Mostly, I'm doing well. And it's nothing you need to worry about. I'll be all right, promise. I'm even taking cases again. It feels good to be back at work."

	Vance nodded his head a little bit. He couldn't help but worry, especially since he knew what had happened to Wendell with Joseph. He swept a hand over the older wolf's face and let out a quiet sigh. "Just don't lose yourself, okay?" he asked softly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think I'd be very difficult to lose," he laughed. He put his own hand over Vance's in a quiet promise. He didn't think it would ever get so bad that he would disappear in q mire of darkness. That would have pleased Joseph far too much. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vance smiled softly and squeezed Wendell before he moved to stand back up. He smiled a little and pressed a quick kiss to Wendell's cheek and let out a soft sigh. "I'm gonna go finish my homework," he said softly. "It's math so I might bother you," he added with a faint grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)
