ANOTHER STORY ANOTHER TIME

CHAPTER THIRTY TWO * THE SPARK

 "What happened, if that wasn't a fire, what the hell was it?"

Jackson and Ethan stood at the front door waiting for Stiles to open it, but he hadn't yet, and Jackson had no patience at that moment, and opened the door to see both Stiles and Michael walk down the stairs pulling their shirts on. 

"Well, it's about time you all get it on." Stiles just looked at him, 

"Yeah but this one, I can say for sure you never slept with." Stiles gave him a smirk. Ethan looked at Jackson, 

"Let it go." but Jackson was not able to let anything go, 

"We slept together, just not face to face." Michael looked at Ethan, 

"Look you need to reel him in, if we are gonna live here together, he needs to be a positive member." Jackson looked at Stiles,

 "You need to tell your man, I'm right here and he can address me to my face not through my guy." Stiles looked at the ceiling, 

"Stop please stop." turning to Jackson, "Jacs I love and care about you, I care about you both, we have two influential kids coming in a bit, this needs to be a safe place no bullying, as does the main house." Ethan looked at Jackson who was already walking towards Stiles. Jackson grabbed Stiles around the back in a very strong hug. 

"I'm sorry, you know me, it's hard to lose my sarcasm, and accept defeat, I'll try harder guys I promise." As the Michael took Ethan and Jackson to the second floor, Stiles saw head lights which meant his brother had just pulled in with his old jeep,

 "Rosco". As he started for the door, he smiled, he had several surprises for his new/old family. Michael had come down the stairs and was standing by his man placing his arm around Stiles's waist, "Why are you smiling so big Sarge?" Stiles raised his hand, 

"Look ten fingers." Michael looked at Stiles hand, but Ethan who had just joined them understood, as Jackson was coming down the steps the door started to open.

 "Stiles you're not dreaming; we are all here." Ethan said as he grinned, the front door busted open.......

"Untle Siles, Untle Efan," Both men kneeled down to pick up the two children, Liam and Alec both stood there dumbfounded. 

"Hello baby girl, I missed you, I missed you both, but Uncle Michael has a big surprise for you upstairs." Both of the children wiggled their way out of Stiles and Ethan's arms. 

"Untle Michael." they said in unison. Michael had the biggest grin on his face, then it hit him, he held his smile for the sake of the children, but his insides were crumbling down.

 "Untle Michael are you otay?" Jaina asked in her very overly dramatic voice. Stiles sensed his sadness, then for a split second he saw Michael as a child, and his twin brother was with him giggling and laughing. 

"Here Hun, I'll take them." Michael shook his head, 

"Naw, I got this, I'm okay Sarge." Michael carried both children upstairs, and into their new room, He and Stiles had put in a large bunk bed with two upper bunks up top and a lower double size bed under, incase someone needed to sleep with them, to help keep them feeling safe. Both kids squealed in delight, as Stiles knew they would do. Liam looked at him,
