They will tell you you can't sleep alone In a strange place
Who: Olly and Shiva
What: Settling in
When: August 24th, Sunday Night
Where: Their new house
Warning: NSFW

The tattoo parlor was closed Sunday and Monday and the bar closed Sunday, so Olly had been able to stay home with his family the first whole day and night they were in the house. It was much bigger than their trailer and the day had been pretty much chasing down pups while trying to help Shiva unpack and rearrange things to her liking. He was all too glad for bedtime. Jackie seemed overly thrilled to have his own room, especially since he'd gotten Jack's old room. He gave their son about two hours before he missed his sisters and was in their room because he wasn't used to sleeping by himself.

After tucking his son in, Olly wandered across the hall to his daughters' room. Which was his room when he was growing up. Not that he sent much time in there before he was a teenager. As a child, he'd slept in Jack's room with her, and they'd spent most of their time running around like wild animals. He hadn't taken a whole lot of his old stuff with him when he'd moved into the trailer with Shiva, so the room smelled enough like him that hopefully the girls would feel more secure their first nights in a strange house. They'd be born after his falling out with Deacon and had never been in the house on Beverly street before they'd moved in.

Kiera was already asleep on the bed next to Shea. Who was fussing about her brother. "How come Jackie gets his own room?" she pouted. Olly shook his head. They'd thought about separating the girls, but the fit the youngest threw when she was left alone for any amount of time vetoed that. Shea only wanted her own room because her brother had one. Shiva'd set her straight, he was sure.

Moving into a large home after living in a trailer for several years was quite an adjustment, and not only for the kids. Siobhan had no idea how or when she would get used to it, but it was for the best. The kids would have room to play and Jackie would be going to a decent school in a few weeks. Having a home was something Siobhan had been dreaming of for awhile, and now it was happening. The circumstances could have been better, but shit happened, and at least with this one, there was a silver lining.

"Jackie's the oldest," Siobhan pointed out, leaning over to brush Shea's hair back so she could kiss her daughter's forehead. "In a few years, you'll get a room too. But Kiera needs her big sister around for a bit. And I bet Jackie will miss you both enough that he won't spend as much time in his room as you think he will."

It would take awhile to make it theirs. But Olly was sure they could. Having a home was nicer than he expected, even with the memories of his father. Olly had never been as close to Deacon as Jack was. She was the perfect child. His rebellion against his father had started long before he'd met Shiva. The evidence was on the walls around them, which he'd hand painted himself when he was a teenager and Deacon had made him miss an art fair because of a pack thing. Half the room was painted like the pack's lands, with the cabin and the alpha rock in the background. The other half was the cityscape, with Lincoln Park featured prominently in the foreground. It'd taken him weeks to do it, but it was symbolic of the two worlds Olly always felt caught between. The two worlds he now was trying to make one.

"Oh," Shea was placated by the kiss and her mother's words. "Okay. Since Kiera needs me." She made a face. "Can I lock him out? No boys allowed in our room. 'Cause I said so." Then she remembered her father standing in the doorway. "'Cept Daddy. He doesn't count."

Olly chuckled. "Now I don't count, huh?" he teased, crossing over to the bed and settling down next to Shiva on the edge. "Fine. Give me my goodnight kiss and I'll clear out of no man's land."

Shea scrambled forward to kiss his cheek, wrapping her arms around his neck. Olly could smell her concern. She was only three and it was her first night in a strange house. He wrapped her into his arms, chuffing softly and nuzzled her cheek before letting her go. "Goodnight, sweetheart. Don't let your sister wander around." She'd go straight for the stairs and the baby gate there wasn't even going to slow down the toddler werewolf if she decided she wanted downstairs.

"G'night, Daddy," Shea said. "I will." She crawled over to Siobhan and curled up in her lap. She didn't want her mother to leave the room, even though she knew she would. "Stay," she whimpered, then looked up. "We can have a girls' only slumber party." It sounded good to her at least. And less babyish than not wanting to sleep alone with the baby in a strange room.

	"Life's unfair," Siobhan reminded him. "Your mom lost her husband, but she still has you and Jack, and the kids. She still has the pack. Your mom has always been amazingly strong, and I don't see that changin' now." She pressed a small kiss to his jaw. "It's a horrible situation, but we all gotta deal with it now and move on."
