Jesse had twelve stitches in his face, and bruises and cut scattered all over his body. Isaiah was banged up too, though not as badly. Once the four of them were discharged from the ER, Jesse piled them all back into the SUV, where he collapsed into the passenger seat. He glanced over at Isaiah, who'd gotten behind the wheel again. "You sure you're good to drive?" he asked.

Isaiah waved one hand in a 'more or less' gesture. "You're sure as hell not, and I got us here in one piece. I'll get us wherever we're going. As long as we don't get pulled over, my license is expired."

Jesse snorted. "We'll deal with that later. Right now, I want to make sure everyone else is alright."

Jayden felt like he was choking, but there was no way he was letting go now, not now that she was holding him and smoothing his hair and being so amazingly motherly. God, this was all he had wanted his entire life, and so he cried all that pain out, right there in her lap while his brothers watched. "I love you," he managed to murmur between sobs. "I love you, please don't go again, please."

Ceridwen slipped out of the chair and knelt beside Jayden, wrapping her arms around him. "I love you too, Jayden," she said. "And I'm not going anywhere, I promise. Not even the shades of the dead can keep me away." She tightened her arms around him, running one hand over his back. She knew he had a lot of lost time to make up for, and she'd never gotten to do this for her boys when they were younger. And now that she could, she was never going to leave them again.

Jayden curled up in her arms, and his crying calmed. He sure as hell wasn't moving though, so he settled in against her.

From over his shoulder, Adrian gave his mother a wide smile. He knew Jayden's reticence to be close to her had hurt her deeply and this was such a great step, even after all the pain that had brought it to this point.

When the door buzzed, he hopped up and buzzed the deliveryman in, ambling to the kitchen then to get plates and anything else they would need, with the direction of Nicholas. Nicholas' kitchen was huge, and Adrian had no idea where anything was.

JJ leaned against Jesse and she kissed his shoulder. "Love you," she muttered. "I'm starving. I want to eat three helpings. Three helpings for three people."

Ceridwen started humming a lullaby that she'd sang to her sons when they were young and wouldn't sleep. It brought back memories of holding an infant Jayden in her arms, and that, along with the moment she'd shared with Jayden, made her smile at Adrian in return. The whole scene made Isaiah smile, and he got up to see if Adrian needed any help in the kitchen.

Jesse smiled, pressing a kiss to the back of her hand. "Love you too, JJ," he said. "We'll get you some food, and then you can sleep, if you want."

Adrian handed Isaiah a handful of silverware, but mostly it was an excuse to look his younger brother over again. "You okay? I got off easy there, so now I'm going to be fussing about the three of you."

Jayden finally lifted his head, not caring that his eyes were puffy and red. He smiled widely at his mother and whispered, "thanks, Mom."

JJ curled up into Jesse's side, though she was careful not to hurt him further. "Maybe. I don't know if I'll ever sleep again. It was so awful."

Isaiah nodded. "I got a little banged up, but it could've been worse. I'll probably be stiff for a few days, but they gave me some painkillers at the hospital. I'll be OK."

Ceridwen wiped away a few stray tears, and smoothed his hair back as she said, "Of course, dear heart."

"Yeah, I know that feeling," Jesse sighed, curling one arm around here. "And yeah, it really was awful. But at least we all survived, more or less intact, and I'm grateful for that."

Nicholas, Adrian and Isaiah carried everything in and stowed it on the coffee table. "Eat," Nicholas directed, especially eyeing Jayden.

"Yes, sir," Jayden half-whispered, but then he smirked a little bit to show he was joking. He finally released his grip on his mother's legs so he could inch closer to the table to grab some food. Nicholas returned with tea as well, and Jayden fixed himself some of that too. "Thank you."

"Course," Nicholas said, sitting beside JJ and Jesse. "Shit, that was unreal."

"I'm sorry about your stuff," Adrian winced.

"Oh I don't care about that," Nicholas waved his hands around. "It's just things. Also I'm rich." JJ snorted at that, and covered her mouth. "My point there," he said, eyeing her, but his expression was fond, "is that it's easy for me to say it's just things because I can replace them easily. But even if I couldn't I'd rather it was things than all of you."

Ceridwen rose up onto her knees and walked over to the coffee table, fixing a cup of tea for herself before settling back to let everyone else dish up some food first.

"So Richard just appeared in your home and started tormenting you?" she asked softly. "And from the sounds of it, smashing up your house."

"Yeah," Jesse said darkly. "He was more like a poltergeist than a regular ghost, he blew out the lights, tossed stuff around, and scrambled us in the process."

"Yeah, and Jesse decided to basically wave a red flag at him," Isaiah muttered. Jesse just looked at him. "I still maintain, better me than you three."

"Your martyr complex called, it's overblown," Isaiah retorted, before collecting his meal and disappearing into one of the bedrooms.

Jesse started to get up after him, but Ceridwen raised a hand, and he stopped. "Let him go, ti kras lonbraj mwen," she said. "He's scared, and he just watched his older brother get beat to hell and back by the ghost of the man all of you hate. We all process things differently."

Adrian felt the same as Isaiah, but he stuck around in the living room. He didn't want his older brother to feel like shit on top of everything else. "JJ and Nicholas fled when he started tossing stuff around. He threw an x-box at my ribs, but nothing's broken and that was the worst I got. None of the glass hit me."

"You waved a red flag?" Nicholas said, incredulous.

"He was protecting us," Jayden spoke up, because he didn't want Nicholas yelling at Jesse either. "We were afraid he would come after you," he said to Ceridwen. "Did...did he really hurt you when I was a baby?"

"JJ had to, for the baby's sake," Jesse added. "And I, of course, happened to be standing near the windows when they shattered. That's how my face got cut up."

Ceridwen sighed. running her hand through Jayden's hair again. "He started to notice I didn't age," she admitted. "I looked nearly the same as I did when we met, and it made him suspicious. And I wouldn't tell him anything, so he beat me until I finally told him the truth. I couldn't walk for two days, and as soon as I could, I had to leave the house. Or else he'd tell the world my secret, and they'd lock me away from you forever."

Jayden put his plate down and he reached out to put a hand on his mother's knee. "I'm sorry," he whispered. "He shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry he hurt you."

"We all are," Adrian nodded.

Ceridwen squeezed his hand. "Thank you, sweetheart," she said. "And you're right, he shouldn't have. Truth be told, I think he was pleased to find such a 'good excuse' to get rid of me. Easier to justify in his own mind."

Isaiah had finished his food, and he'd calmed down enough to return to the living room. "Sorry," he said, going over to Jesse. "I shouldn't have blown up like that."

"It's OK," Jesse said, squeezing his hand. "I can't really blame you for that."
