Little boy blue, come blow your horn,
The sheep's in the meadow, the cows in the corn
Where is the little boy who looks after the sheep?
He's under the haystack, fast asleep.

The Alley Cat club was far from what one would consider a typical home, but it was the best that Shey and Dark had. So thats where they took the two little children they had met in the inn, the little abused deaf mute child, and sweet little Mystic who just wanted to see her new friend safely home. Dark carried the little boy there, and Sheyleigh led the girl by the hand, chattering to the child happily.

"When we get home we will make a bed for our friend in the living room Mystic. Someplace where he can sleep and recover. Does that sound good sweetheart?"

Mystic smiled and nodded as they made their way into the club heading across the bar room to cut through the kitchen to the apartment in the back where Shey and Dark lived. Once they were inside Dark settled the little boy on the couch, while Shey and Mystic pulled out one of those folding roll away beds that store in a closet, and made it up with soft sheets and blankets.

Once the bed was made Dark moved the boy from the couch to the bed tucking him in gently.

It was a marvelous time, and fact was Shey and Dark were two of the most loving creatures on the planet. With plans up in their busy schedule to do a great number of things, top of the list preparing for their child, they couldn't find the time they would like to see each other a hundred percent ready. And this was odd because at the same time they couldn't wait for the arrival.

The club? Any little boy's dream during closing. Like a gigantic barren church an energetic adventurous child would crave to parade around through, the club had that broad freedom with it when no one was around. And it didn't take long to see the young man was speedy about some snoozing.

Dark massaged his arm after leaving his side and clap clap went his bare feet in the kitchen. His grin appeared when Shey had asked what he was cooking and he dipped his chin to his chest.

"This would be burgers. I don't know much but you could've been to Hell and back and a good burger would still put a smile on your face." nothing complicated, padded ground beef, a little time with worcestershire sauce and cheese when they were just done. Shey smiled and continued her walk past him with a pinch to his bottom that made him bounce.

Dark never cooked for individuals, he cooked bulk and then people shared. And with a simple loaded plate of burgers on buns he placed it on the kitchen counter and snatched up his shirt putting it on.

"Wonder if the little yoyo-er's up yet."
