Elijah POV

Eric, Callie and Erin had fallen asleep on the floor while me and Fred was in the kitchen because we couldn't sleep helping ourselves to tea and whatever food Jack and Alex had in the fridge.

"Can't believe you had a go at Jack. Its not his or Alex's fault." I said and looked at Fred who was looking down.
"I know, but I thought Alex was better. It was just a shock seeing him with Jack sat in the bath with blood coming out his arm." He said.
"Its like what Jack says. The only way Alex can get better is to relapse and get better again." I said.
"Yeah but you don't know Alex. He's tried to get better in the past and it didn't work. Him being a year clean is a huge thing for him, once he starts cutting he can't stop he'll keep on going until he kills himself. That will literally kill Jack, me and Eric as well but Jack will be the one who will be affected the most if Alex does do that to himself." Fred said.
"You said that about Eric. Now look at him, he has Callie and Erin and he's happy now. Hopefully Alex will be the same because he has Jack and Jack will support him through very little thing and you know this." I said.
Fred sighed.
"I just don't want to lose my baby brother." He said quietly.
I walked over to him and pulled him into a hug.
"You won't lose him. Me, Jack, Eric and Callie and even you will make sure that nothing will happen to Alex." I said and kissed the side of his head.
"No one ever knows with Alex." He said quietly and looked at me.
"I know, but let's hope Jack can talk some sense into him." I said and kissed him which made him smile.
"We need sleep so put me down so we can go to sleep." I said and Fred chuckled and let me go and I walked off, not before Fred slapped my ass hard which must of woken Callie up.
"Go to fucking sleep will you. Some of us have work in the morning." She grumbled and rolled over and cuddled into Eric's chest.
I looked at Fred and we just chuckled as we picked a blanket up and got comfy on the floor and fell asleep.

Eric's POV

"Daddy?" Erin whispered in my ear.
"What?" I mumbled since I was still asleep.
"Where's mummy? And why we still at uncle Lex and Jacky house?" She asked.
"Mummy has gone to work and Uncle Lex isn't well so we have too look after him today." I said and opened me yes and looked at her.
"Why don't you go and wake uncle Fred and Eli up." I said quietly since they woke me and Callie up last night so they might as well get the alarm clock I have every morning.
Sje nodded and went over to Eli and Fred.
"Wake up Fred wake up E." She said and jumped on someone.
"Bugger off child go and annoy someone else." Eli said.
"E said a bad word daddy." She said and walked over to me.
"Naughty Elijah." I said loud enough for him to hear me.
He stuck his middle finger up at me.
I chuckled.
"Can I go and see uncle Lex and Jacky?" She asked.
"No, let's leave them to sleep a little longer." I said since they both was still asleep.
"Can I watch TV?" Erin asked.
"Yeah but keep it down." I said and gave her the remote.
"Okay." She said and lent against me as I went back to sleep.
