The group laughed at a joke, one of them saying something, everybody going silent, Caden's gaze turning colder then ice as he stepped towards Dean. "What'd you say?" He asked, Dean shutting up. "If you'll excuse us for a moment," Caden apologized, grabbing Dean by the collar and heading away from the group. <><><><> They came back roughly twenty minutes, Caden coming casually, Dean lugging behind. Eventually the group all settled down by the fire, Caden taking Rosa by the hand and leading her over to a log by the fire, wrapping a arm around her when she sat. Eventually the topic changed, the group talking about random.

Rosa sighed, snuggling into Caden's chest as they sat by the fire.

"If you want to leave early i'm totally fine with that. Not saying you do, but just in case." He said quietly, pulling her closer.

Rosa nods, "I'm getting a little bit tired, but als concerned about our twins" she says. "I trust Brock, but still" she says

"Just tell me when you want to go," He says, giving her a quick smile before standing and walking to a group of his friends who were all taking shots. Somebody handed Caden one and he swallowed it, gagging once he did. "Augh, that stuff is disgisting." He said, declining another one.

Rosa taps his shoulder, "wanna leave now?" she asks, not wanting him to get wasted

"Eugh, if you want to." He says, cringing before sipping water given to him by Dean. "Yeah, let's go." Caden informs her, moving her direction. "Maybe once we get back we can get the twins to sleep and watch a movie or something. Have some alone time for once." He mused, thinking of what Brock must be doing. <><><><><> Meanwhile, Brock was internally freaking out because Dmitri wouldn't stop crying, Clara wouldn't sleep, Murphy was barking and running around, and he was regretting life choices.

Rosa nods, she takes his hand and helps guide him back towards the house

Brock had just gotten everbody settled down, Dmitri was sound asleep, Clara was asleep, and Murphy was quiet and laying on the couch. When Caden opened the door it creaked as always, setting off both babies as Brock came out with a 'really?' face. "How were they?" He asked, setting his jacket aside as he walked in and got the twins quiet, but not asleep. "How-Why-How'd you do that?" Brock stammered, Caden just chuckling in response. "I don't know, magic I guess." He mused, Brock chuckling. "Well, let me remind you, if you don't want to wake up babies, make sure your door doesn't creak." <><><><><><><><><> Brock left once Caden forced a hundred dollars into his hand, Caden shutting the door behind him and putting the two quieted down twins back into their cribs, Murphy in his pen for the night. Caden murmered a good night to all three, heading into the bedroom. Once Rosa had come in he wrapped his arm around her, snuggling up next to her.

Rosa had been waiting for Caden to settle in, listening to the quiet shuffle of him moving around the room before he finally climbed into bed. Before she could say anything, he wrapped an arm around her, pulling her close with that familiar warmth she had come to cherish.
