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.

	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)
