* Carrying a cup of coffee, I walk into my office and stop short after seeing all the paperwork on my desk. I'd only been gone for a few days, but the piles kept getting bigger. I sat in my office chair and stared at the paperwork, knowing it had to be done. I sipped my coffee until it was gone and then stood, tossing the cup in the trash can. * Not today! * I said out loud as I made my way out into the hallway and out to the training field. *

"Well, well, look who finally decided to come back to work." * I grinned at Oscar as I stepped up beside him and watched the group of males as they battled each other hand to hand. * "I was beginning to think you liked the demon's better than you did us." * I shook my head but continued to watch the soldiers. * Ali had to deliver twins, labor got complicated so we had to stay a little longer than planned. I know you guys are skeptical, but seriously, they aren't a bad group of demons. * Oscar folded his arms over his chest and looked on. * "But they won't align with the Realm." A lot of good people choose not to align with the Realm, Oscar. It doesn't mean that we should consider them a threat. * Oscar sighed and relaxed his posture. * "I know, but you're like a son to me. Just be careful, okay?"
I nodded. * Trust me, when it comes to Ali's safety, I don't joke around. But they have been considerate of all my demands, even allowing both Frank and James to go with us. They don't restrict our movement's while we're there and pretty much give us run of the house. Anyway's, you want to hear some exciting news? * Oscar cut a look my way. * "Who doesn't like exciting news?" * I turned to face him better, so I could see his reaction. * Ali is expecting! * Oscar did a double take. * Wait! What?! A baby?! * I ginned and nodded. * Yep, found out the day we left. * Oscar gave me a man hug. * "Congratulations, son. I'm happy for you both." Thank you. * We both turned back to the soldiers and realized they were all standing there staring at us. * GET YOUR LAZY ASSES BACK TO WORK! * The soldiers jumped and started fighting again. Oscar looked at me. * That was a little harsh, don't you think? Actually, we've been stopping once the temperature hit's 90 degree's and making them spend more time in the gym." * I rolled my eyes at him. * Bunch of pansy's. Our enemies don't care how hot or cold it is when they strike. "Wade...." * Oscar growled. * Fine! * I whistled loudly getting the males attention, they all stopped and stood in straight lines facing us. * Hit the shower's. * They men took off past Oscar and I, a couple of them even congratulating me as they past. *
