“Did he do it to me?” Frank laughed incredulously. “He never f**k**g stopped.”

Xander laughed humorlessly. "Jack too?"

“No,” Frank sobered somewhat. “Jack doesn’t come by very often and I don’t let Gabriel get too mouthy anyways.”

"I don't have a problem with him being opinionated and proud of it." Xander said with a sigh. As long as he learns the time and place for things. But I guess you're more like a father to him than me."

“I raised him.” Frank said quietly. “But I’ve always made sure that he knew, while I love him like my own, you’d probably take over once Cass woke up.”

"I won't..." Xander said quietly. "If he doesn't want me to...."

“He needs a family.” Frank sighed. “And now that Cassie’s awake, he can finally have it.”

"He adores her, doesn't he?" Xander said with a sigh.

“She’s his mother.” Frank shrugged. “In the eyes of a child, mother is God.”

"Maybe your mother..." Xander grumbled

“My mother was an alcoholic.” Frank grinned a little. “But I still-“ He stopped short, looking rather surprised that his phone was ringing. He smiled apologetically after glancing at the caller i.d.
“I have to take this.” He glanced up the stairs. “Would you do me a favor and go check on them? Make sure Gabe’s in bed, see if Cass is still asleep?”

Xander nodded tiredly, trudging his way upstairs.

“Thanks.” Frank called after him, flipping open the phone and heading towards the kitchen.

Xander stopped in front of Gabriel's door, sighing before he finally knocked.

Gabe didn’t answer even though he could hear the knock from his mother’s room. Hopefully Uncle Frank would crack open the door and see the pillows shoved under the blanket in an almost Gabriel shape and assume he was asleep.

Xander sighed, figuring his son was already asleep. It was late, after all, and he'd check on his way out. He continued down the hall and leaned against the next door, knowing who's room is was. "Cassie? You awake in there?"

“No.” Gabe answered for her, perched on the side of the bed.

"Gabe?" Xander frowned, opening the door to glance at his son. "You should be asleep...."

Gabe bit back a sarcastic remark and sighed. “How’m I supposed to sleep…?”
“Besides,” He looked up. “No one was here the first time she woke up. I don’t want her to wake up alone again.”

Xander's frown turned into an awkward smile as he walked to the side of the bed. "Well.... do me a favor and don't get caught, alright?"
