It was typical 'Academian' night, how Tony would call it. Too much rain, too much wind, only worse because this time, snow came down as well and almost completely covered their small window in Tien basement. Of course they kept cleaning the snow, but it just... continued falling.
It was a typical night for Tony too. By this time, he had already fallen into the routine and didn't even need to ask his friend to share beds - or somehow get him to offer him sharing beds for that matter. Partially he blamed Scanlon too, because the child was abnormally attached to both of them. So, when the storm hit once again, Tony Love simple climbed up the stairs of their bunk bed and tugged on few blankets from the nest in order to gain their attention. Or at least Áine's attention, because Scan would usually 'coo' and 'goo' and wake Áine up and Tony would later feel guilty.
"Are you awake?" - he whispered in the end, softly, and from his spot looked down to another, currently empty bed, but from what he had heard, they'll be having a new roommate either tomorrow or the day after that. It's not that he would mind, but he was only afraid that he and Aw may scare them off, with kid and all.
Then he remember it was night like this when Scan first came to them and it was hectic and amazing since then. He nudged the pile of blankets.
"Aw, I'm freezing my ass over here!" - he said and pouted, immaturely.

Cold. Rain. Wind. Not Aw's favorite weather, but incredibly good for sleeping. He was currently still recovering from the days he spent drinking coffee like a maniac and couldn't sleep. Which, well, was the point of why he was doing that, but he was so tired when he stopped the coffee that he's been asleep for a day at least.
Until someone commented on their freezing ass, of course. Then Aw grunted and curled on himself even more.
He gave up after ten seconds, sighing. Without saying anything, he grabbed Tony's shirt and pushed him down to lay next to him, above the blankets, but Aw didn't really care. He then curled around the shapeshifter and prepared himself to go back to sleep.
Meanwhile, Scanlon was looking out their window, little hand on the glass, apparently admiring the storm. He loved storms.

He was pulled at the top of covers and Tony gasped, unprepared with contact with cold sheets, even though he had at least two layers of clothing on himself. He looked at Scanlon shortly, but decided to leave the child at window, watching storm. After all, if he wanted to watch the outside, Scanlon would watch the outside. Tony knew that very well by now.
Instead, wriggled out of Áine's awkward grasp on him from below the blankets. Then he moved around the nest and found a spot where he could squeeze in between the blankets and next to Aw, hoping to get some heat. He indeed was freezing, despite his best friend's skepticism.
"Good night to you too." - he murmured as he hugged the other, pleasant heat seeping through his layers of clothes.

Aw hugged Tony back and almost had gone back to sleep when a weight pressed on him from above the blankets and a little voice, belonging to their son, kept insisting, "Wish, Athai', Papa, wish, wish!"
Aw opened his eyes and shook Tony's shoulder. "Tom? Tom. Scanlon wants to wish on a lightning bolt. Tell him he can't.", he told him. Aw was not telling his son again not to wish on the lighning bolt. Last time, it didn't end well.
"Athai', wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiishhhhhhhhhhhh", he whined. Aw and Tony needed to stop spoliing him so much.

"Mhmm" - was Tony's sleepy reply as the child climbed up Aw and for a moment he thought of helping out his blue-eyed friend, however he was rather tired so just decided to lave Áine to himself.
Until, of course, Aw shook him and he had no other choice than to get up. Redhead shivered at the feeling of fool air once again. Luckily Scan wasn't so sensitive to the cold, otherwise Tony was sure the kid would have gotten sick.
"Scan, listen." - he started - "You know how people say.... A wish upon a star? Well star is small, tiny. This thing is big. And it's very common, you know. So people don't really.... Wish upon it. Because it's not rare." - he tried to reason with a child, even though he supposed he was doing it wrong. Instead, he decided to compromise:
"When weather is nicer, Athair and I are going to visit Second Narva river with you. And we are going to catch the falling star there. How does that sound?" - he promised. He was honestly hoping Aw was listening as well. He needed some major help here.

Aw shuddered when Tony sat up and dragged a part of their blanket with him. He was too sleepy to move his arm from the shifter's waist, though, and just closed his eyes again. Tony's voice was very soothing.
Aw chuckled silently. This is Scream Academy - the weather is never nice. It's always cloudy and rainy. "We'll go next weekend, maybe. Let's go to sleep.", he murmured.
Scan looked thorn apart. "Bu', wish. Sto'm. Baby!", he gestured with his hands at nothing. Aw put a hand on his son's face, trying and failing to make him quiet. "SISTE'", Scanlon screamed.
God damn it, Aw thought. "You have a sister, Scanlon."

"Next weekend, Scan." - Tony promised and took the baby in his hand, trying to stop him somehow from wishing upon a lighting. He hoped to just... make him forget because he knew no other way... He wasn't very good with children.
"Athair and I promise." - he promised to the redheaded baby and cradled him in his arms - "But if you don't get in bed, I believe Aw's ass will freeze, yes? Like he almost left mine to." - Tony grinned at his friend, teasing him for earlier actions.
"He does?" - Tony asked and shook his head. Then, to his horror, he could feel another couple of tiny hands on his bed. Please be some Scan's attempt at shifting. Or Tobiah. Or Noll or anybody really. He didn't even turn around to check, instead he stared at Scan in his lap.

Tony didn't fool Áine. The banshee knew the shifter was promising things now, but had no intention of remembering them in the morning. Which would put Scanlon in a bad mood, certainly, but that kid is such a drama queen that his tears almost don't bother Aw anymore.
It's still so funny to Aw when Tony calls him 'Athair'. Tony, calling him 'Father'. Should be weirder than it is, the boy thought.
Uh.
He didn't tell Tony about her?
Uh.
Aw moved his head from the pillow just enough for one eye to peek out. "Er. Yes. You don't.. ?" He sighed. "Ahana.", he said at last. The kid wasn't living with them yet, but Aw was surprised at how he just assumed Tony knew of her. At least he knew of Benedict.
Right?
Aw sighed.
Scanlon was pouting at his redheaded father, arms crossed.

"Come on, little one" - Tony messed up Scan's hair affectionately - "It's too late now anyway."
To be honest, he just wanted to get some sleep. It's been a long day, but every day is rather long here anyway.
"What are speaking of?" - he question in the end, getting into the bed and placing Scan between himself and Aw - "If you have something to confess, I'm fully awake now."

'Well, I am not, so let's sleep and I'll tell you when I wake up', was what Aw wanted to say to Tony, but what came out was a weird sound that sounded like a grunt mixed with a sigh. After Tony's return, the banshee is finding it very hard to deny him anything.
Scanlon was, surprisingly, leaving the comfy spot Tony put him in and reaching for something behind Jamie. Aw was too sleep-deprived to care.
Aw didnt know how to start. "So, er, Scanlon is not exactly my only kid.", he mumbled sleeply. "I thought you knew about them, though.", he frowned. He did think Tony knew.now he feels... tired, mostly.
Scanlon came back from wherever he was and started poking Tony. "P'pa."

Tony raised one red eyebrow, unsure of what to think now.
"How do you mean, he isn't your only child, Aw?" - while the redhead DID have a pretty neat idea of what that meant, he hoped that this wouldn't be correct. Maybe he was just jumping to conclusions or maybe Aw was pranking him. He hoped so. He certainly did.
"Not now, Scanlon, I am talking to your father. Go sleep, please." - he said and sighed, feeling so exhausted. They should've left this for morning, but, when he already started this, he may as well finish it, he thought.
"I shift shapes, I don't read minds, Áine..." - Tony sighed and shook his head - "How about you... tell me about it?" - he questioned his friend.
