A little Troublemaker.

Garrick: I'm just gonna hang-up, I need to cool off Ned."

Ned: I know I'm sorry, take as much time as you need and I take full responsibility for her, deal?

Just don't get mad at Jade okay? I mean you knew how she is, she's a little troublemaker.

Garrick: You're a troublemaker yourself! you're acting weird Ned, let Jade take responsibility for her actions! she's an immortal yet she acts like a five years old.

Ned: She's a little lost that's all.

Garrick: Obviously! since you're giving false directions to everyone because I'm also a little lost when it comes to you!

And it's not a surprise that ever since I met you, troubles started following me...

You're acting just like Freddie! you like playing God on people and control their lives, like what you're doing with Jade!

Ned: Garrick listen, nobody is trying to cause you trouble or play God on you I ju-!"

Garrick: Save it Ned, I told you I hate unfunny pranks, I don't like getting too many excuses afterwards either... I will go now.

Ned: Please calm down! how about we meet right now?

Garrick: we shouldn't be meeting anymore, it's distracting both of us apparently.

Besides, There's nothing left to say...don't worry I'm not mad at you personally, but I can't promise you that I'm not mad at her.

Ned: Jade is my daughter, I know that she can be an asshole sometimes, but that's because she didn't have it easy.

Garrick: She didn't have it easy? she punched me the first time we met even though I was helping her! and now she's telling me I'm her Dad?

She said you confirmed it Ned!...and what if she didn't have it easy? don't be a hypocrite! you said it yourself that your past will explain your actions but won't justify it.

Ned: I know! I'm really sorry, if it makes it any better, I'll punish her.

Garrick: I don't care! she's not My daughter, Have a good day.

*Bleep*

Frustrated, Ned dropped his phone from his hand, shaking as he wanted to do nothing more than scream his lungs out, but he couldn't, his voice failed him eventually.

He was all by himself in the house by the time it was 5pm, sitting next to his desk in his study room.

It was just him and the paperwork he had to do, when Garrick called him to complain about Jade, and Ned just lied to him saying that the one who lied is Jade.

The lord of Time found himself alone and sad as Aroon was spending the rest of the day with Lucius and his mother, Jasper was in his room as usual and didn't come out yet.

And it's not like he'll call Jade, she was the reason why he was in this situation in the first place.

And He couldn't just go complain to Jihi this time, the mage had enough on their plate already.

So Picking his phone again, he searched through his contacts, thinking who he should call or ask for help, he needed someone to talk to.

Ned was Used to solving his own issues by himself, but This time he felt like he needed a little guidance.

...Meanwhile...

"WHOA!" Muriel cheered as Thorn scored his final goal, "Not Bad! Father-in-law!" Yurei shouted smirking as he went over to fetch the ball.

Yurei and Thorn were playing 1 on 1 with each other, and Thorn just won the match, "Can you stop calling me that father-in-law bullshit?!" Thorn nearly shouted at him.

While The Alpha and Beta were playing, the two omegas sat watching them, they were supposed to play together, all four of them when they first started the game.

But a tired Muriel declined the offer, so Tacito sat with him to not leave him feeling alone.

"Hey Muriel! come play with us! I bet Taci wanna play too! C'mon just One last game as teams." Yurei suggested, "I do not know if that is a good idea, I am wearing a dress nonetheless...

Besides it is getting pretty late anyways, maybe we should go somewhere else for fun." Muriel replied standing-up, then he walked towards the two sweaty guys with water bottles, and Taci followed him with small towels in his hands.

"I have extra...clothes in my...car...if you'd like...to...change your clothes...And it's not..that late Muriel... it's just 5pm." Tacito said checking his watch.

"See there's still time? So how about a game Muriel?" Yurei asked, "I don't think it's safe to be playing this kind of sports when he's pregnant." Thorn replied glaring at Yurei.

"EH?!" both pair of eyes of the newly engaged couple went wide open, they shared a glance with each other before they turned their heads to Muriel.

Muriel instantly blushed at their stares, "Why are looking at me like that?" he asked.

"Pregnant? by who? HIM?" Yurei asked pointing at Thorn,"The Fuck you mean by HIM? Who the fuck else?!" Thorn said smacking the back of Yurei head, "OWOWOWE! what was that for!" Yurei said wincing in pain.

Suddenly, "CONGRATULATIONS!" Tacito screamed out of nowhere shocking them, he pulled Muriel into his arms, hugging him like his life depends on it.

"You people are weird." Thorn whispered underneath his breaths, "Wait...Hey!...I would very much appreciate it Tacito dear, if you would allow me...to breath!" Muriel said trying to wiggle himself free from the bear hug Tacito wrapped him in.

"Oh...sorry I got...too excited apparently...i sometimes forget...how strong I...am." Tacito replied letting go of Muriel, "I'm so happy...for both of...You." he added looking at Thorn with a big smile.

"Thanks, I'm happy for us too." Thorn replied, for some reason he felt satisfied within whenever he saw Tacito smile.

"I wonder how The triplets will look like, they used to be a spitting image of Muriel." Yurei casually said without realizing it, "What triplets?" Muriel and Thorn said together.

"Yurei was just... kidding...he meant to...say...that he's predicting...you guys are... going to have...triplets!" Tacito interfered while nudging Yurei to shut his mouth.

"Uh...yeah! I was just making a prediction! I'm a bit of a psychic!" Yurei hastily lied, then nervously smiled at them.

"Huh? really?" Thorn said raising an eyebrow, "Well if we did end-up having triplets, I'll make sure to send you a gift Yurei." he added looking him up and down before Smiling back at him.

Suddenly, Tacito's attention was pulled towards his phone as it started buzzing, so He unlocked it and checked the messages he got.

Yurei immediately felt that something was wrong through their bond, "Tacito? who was that?"

"Ned." Tacito answered, his tone changed to worried as he continued reading the message, "he wants to...talk with Us...now."

"Ned wants to talk with us?" Yurei said catching the attention of the other two.

"What's going on?" Thorn asked, "Is everything okay with Neddie?" Muriel asked.

Shaking his head, "I don't know...he says he...needs me and...Yurei right now." Tacito replied.

"Let's go then, do you wanna drive or Should we teleport?" Yurei asked him mate.

Nodding "It could be...An emergency so...let's teleport there." Tacito said.

Surprised, "Teleport? now that's something cool!" Thorn commented.

Turning his attention to Thorn and Muriel "Thanks for accepting my invitation today, and congratulations again on the baby! you guys are perfect for Each Other." Yurei said extending his hand to Tacito.

Thorn was content with his compliment, "Thanks man! I'm serious about the gift though, if we did end-up having triplets, I'll get you one." he replied smiling big.

"Then you better prepare your wallet, Father in law, you're definitely losing this one." Yurei replied smirking before he and Tacito vanished.

...Meanwhile...

Jade returned with a cup of coffee in her hand, "Hey, you talked with him yet?" she asked Garrick with a smile while handing him the coffee, but he refused to take it.

[does she take me for a fool?!]

"Dad?" Jade said as she heard Garrick's thought.

"Don't call me that! and keep the coffee for yourself, I can get my own."

"Woah! Why are you talking like that to me?"

"I think you know why, Miss pretty little liar." Garrick replied walking away from her, she followed him quickly, "What happened?! why are you mad at me?" Jade asked.

"Jade leave me alone."

"Turn around and talk to me!"

"Just leave me!"

"What happened?!"

Turning back to her, "JADE FOR FUCKS SAKE STOP PICKING ON ME!" Garrick lashed out on her, "Picking on you?! you think I'm bullying you?!" she asked.

"THEN WHAT KIND OF SICK JOKE YOU TOLD ME EARLIER?! HUH?!" Garrick shouted, "For fucks sake indeed! mom told you I was pranking you didn't he?" she replied angrily.

"What else would it be Jade?"

"The truth, THE MOTHERFUCKING TRUTH!" she replied screaming, "Why is he pretending?! mom said he looked into your eyes and couldn't see your past, his ability doesn't work on you!" she added confused.

"I don't know what the fuck this is, but don't drag Ned into your stupid games Jade! he defended your spoiled Ass in every word he said to me!" Garrick said walking away from her again.

This time, Jade stood there watching him disappear from her Pov with an open mouth, until suddenly...

[what a sad reality...to tell the truth but no one believes you.]

Taken by surprise "Who said that!" she hissed turning around to see Whose thought it was, but there was no one around her.

[hehehehe! you're so evil Jade!]

"Show yourself, come out NOW!" Jade shouted scanning her surroundings.

[I prefer to stay in the shadows thanks, you might punch me if I Come closer.]

"Freddie is that you! you're mocking me HUH? don't worry I will get you, I will make sure you pay for what you did to my family!" she said gritting her teeth.

[So many people said that before, see where they are now?]

"You're a maniac Freddie, a non recyclable Trash."

[ And you're a fool, do you know how to use your head? huh Jade?...tch! I like your twin more, he at least knows how use his brain.]

"At least I'm not a coward who sets people and their hopes and dreams on fire!"

[you're gonna your mom into more trouble if you tried to help Jade...Sometimes the best way to help is to stay away! trust me.]

"Trust you? in hell! what are you implying?"

[You're causing your Mom nothing but trouble lately, and it's obvious that Ned covers-up for you every single time, I can smell a favorite child over here... you're making Ned look bad while driving him crazy at the same time.]

"Why the fuck do you care?! Are you in a good position to give me advices?! did you forget the hell you made your own son go through?!"

[I left him alone now didn't I, I even sent him his body back as a birthday gift, and I promised myself I won't bother him after he ran away...kids they grow so fast.]

"You got Yurei possessed by a some sort of a creature and here you are! praising yourself for doing the shit you should've done long ago, Bravo! next thing you should do is go to therapy! sick freak."

[Thank you, that makes two of us... Anyways, it was lovely talking to you Jade, not sure we did much here at all.]

"Just get the fuck out of My Head, and away from my family!" Jade replied, but she didn't hear anything else afterwards, Fernando was gone.

She picked-up her phone to try and text Jasper, but she noticed that he still hasn't responded to any of her previous texts yet, "What The fuck is he doing now?! why is everyone turning their backs on me?"
