I nod my head and leave the office. Flame's definitely right about Cam not seeing anything that’s been going on around here. I don’t need my son walking in on all the public sex that's been going on recently. Stopping in the doorway, I look around. The bunnies are out in force; some are currently being fucked, others are on their knees sucking, and some are doing both. The brothers are having fun, but what's going on in here isn't going to be fucking happening where my child can see it. Not a chance in hell. I have no issues with what they do, each to their own; it just needs to happen somewhere else from now on. I hit the button next to me on the wall that cuts everything electronic off in the room. Everything suddenly goes quiet.
Everyone looks over to see who just silenced the room, and when they realize it's me, no one says a word.
“I'm only going to say this once. No more public sex in this room or anywhere else, for that matter. If you want to get it on, then take it somewhere private. I catch anyone breaking this new rule, whether it's a bunny or a brother, you will not like what happens.”My voice is hard as I talk, I want them to know just how serious I am.
Looking directly at the bunnies, who've now huddled together, I say,“From now on, you make sure you're fucking wearing clothes when you're in public areas. If I find out any of you have been walking around naked or in your underwear, you're gone. No second chances, and no exceptions. I'm not fucking about anymore.”
“Why?”Candice shouts. Of fucking course, she'd have to open her mouth.
“Because I'm the goddamn President, and what I say goes. Question me again, Candice, and see what happens.”I snarl.
I'm not playing games with this; I don't want my son exposed to it all; he's too fucking young. I'll do everything in my power to ensure it.
Turning around to leave, I look back over my shoulder and shout,“Get in here, tidied the fuck up. This is our fucking home, not a frat house!”
Seriously, there are fucking clothes everywhere, empty bottles, takeout containers, and other random crap everywhere. It's fucking disgusting, and I know it wasn't like this earlier. Why in the world would they even think this is acceptable?
Walking back to the infirmary, I can't help but hope Doc doesn't have anything bad to tell us and Cam’s got no serious injuries, hopefully it's all just bruising and superficial that won't cause any lasting damage.
Entering the room, I can hear laughter, and I can't help the smile that overtakes my face. Now that's a sound I like to hear but wasn't expecting. Looking in the direction it's coming from, I see Shadow sitting next to Cam's bed, and Cam's laughing at whatever Shadow's saying. Now it's nice to see my twin and son already getting along, even though they've only just met.
Seeing us, Doc steps away from them, coming towards us, clearly going to give us an update on what he's found after his examination.
"Firstly, I'll tell you physically that he'll be okay. He's going to need lots of rest. His ribs are luckily just bruised, but that's what was causing him to struggle with his breathing. He told me he'd been walking for a long time to make it here, which most likely caused his pain. As we know, bruised ribs are nofucking joke. Nothing else is as bad as the ribs, thankfully. He's got bruising over 90% of his body.”He stops and shakes his head before continuing.
“How he's sitting there laughing with Shadow, I don't know. I've given him some pain meds because, even with him saying the pain wasn't that bad, I know it has to be. I honestly don't want to know what injuries he's had in the past to think the pain he's in right now isn't that bad.”
“So he’s going to be okay?”Flame interrupts him.
"Yeah, but I want him to stay in here tonight so I can monitor him just to be on the safe side. Tomorrow, you can take him home. But I'm going to advise you to get him someone to talk to because mentally he's going to need a lot of healing.”Doc stops again to take a deep breath, clearly affected by what he's learned.
“He told Shadow it was his mother who did this, and she's been doing it since he was very young, so whether you want it to or not, that's going to have some long-term repercussions. Just take it slow with him and give him unconditional love; I think that may be what he needs most. He certainly hasn't had it before now; you can tell by his reaction to the kindness and care he's been shown since he got here. He has no idea how he's meant to react to it all.”
“Thank you for checking him over; I'm so fucking relieved his injuries aren't as bad as they could have been. We’ll speak to Cam about finding him someone to talk to once he's more settled in. I don't want to overwhelm him right now.”I say, my voice full of relief.
“That sounds good to me. Just so you know, I think you have a great kid there, and with you both as his parents, he's going to thrive. I'm going to pop out for a bit and leave you to it. I'll be back soon to check on him. Call me if he needs me before then.”Doc says as he claps us both on the shoulder before leaving.
We make our way over to Cam's bed. Both of us are more relaxed now that we've spoken to Doc. I think we were both expecting his injuries to be far worse than they turned out to be. Cam looks a lot more settled than he did earlier, and I take that as a good sign. I'm sure Shadow has something to do with it.
“Having fun with your Uncle Shadow?”I ask Cam as I take a seat next to his bed.
Giving me a bright smile, he replies,"Yes, he's been telling me funny stories about when you were my age.”
I can't help but chuckle. I hope he didn't tell him everything we did at his age. I don't need my son getting into the trouble we did.
“I'm sure he's telling you all the good stuff.”
Cam just beams at me, smiling while nodding his head.
Turning to Shadow, I ask,"Do me a favor and check out The Common Room soon. I've told them all that what they've been doing out in the open needs to now be done in private, and I've told the bunnies they need fucking clothes on.”
"Sure, bro, I'll pop my head in before I head back to the house. I figured you two would both be staying here tonight. I'll get all Flame's stuff moved into your room; that way, Cam can have his old room. Is that okay with you both?”Shadow asks, thinking of the shit I haven't even considered yet.
“Yeah, thanks, man. I really don't want to be staying anywhere else right now, and I know my shit needs moving so Cam can have his own space.”Flame says back.
“I'm getting my own room. In a house with you all. Really. Oh wow. This might just be the best day ever.”Cam excitedly states.
God, his excitement's contagious. I can't help but get excited about the prospect of him living with us too. I wish I'd had him with me all his life, but I can't change the past. I can make sure his future's bright, though.
