In the year....

Julian glared back at her when she shouted and shook his head "I wouldn't do something like that!" He yelled as he turned his attention back to the game..anything to get his mind calmed. Audrey raised her eyebrows before looking at Mason seeing him patted her breast. "He wants you to breastfeed him." She mumbled before breathed a chuckle as she said no. She walked over to one of the bags and took out the formula as she began to get the baby bottle and milk ready.Once it was done, she walked over to Eli with the bottle. "Yea sure." She nodded as she grabbed a hold of Mason,and gave him some formula. Julian kept his eyes on the screen before Eli turned it off making him give her a look. "Why?" He asked not seeing the point of talking outside. "Just say what you have to say in here seeing you know everything about being alone with the baby,right?" He stood up and walked over to the door.

"Okay if your going to be a dick towards me then I'm just going to gladly give Mason to Rumple so I don't have to deal with you!" she growled walking outside and slammed the door pulling out her phone she texted her dad saying she needed them. Asking if giving up the baby was a good thing. Clearly both of them wasn't thinking and was being snappy. Eli had some rights seeing she gave birth not that long ago and knows Rumple wants her kid. Julian was left alone with Mason. Turning around she slid her phone back in her pocket. "Let me speak before you say anything." she said to Julian. "Clearly the deal i had made with Rumple was that he gets my first born child, but if we're going to be arguing all the time... Maybe we should be parents." She was all so going to put in be together. "I'm sorry I thought to hit him or whatever but if you think i'll do a better job your wrong. I'll be the one who will most likely hit him with my illness... Now you can speak.. Tell at me I don't care." she sat down on the picnicked table.

Hearing her little growl made him grow angry towards her. He never expected her to say that. Shifting his body to face her, he gave a look as he crossed his arms seeing her texting someone. Seriously? Texting someone at a time like this? Rolling his eyes, he looked over at the forest until she spoke making him look back at her as he stood standing. "You are making no sense..first you see me as the bad guy towards Mason..and now you are saying you wouldn't do a better job? Because to me it looked like you thought of yourself like you could do better with him...at least I am trying!" He pointed to himself "You,on the other hand, won't even hold him until I forced you too..and now you are telling me that you will gladly give Mason to Rumple so you wouldn't have to deal with me?..Fuck you!" He blurted out before realizing what he told her making him tuck his lips in a he closed his eyes. "Let me rephrase that. If that's how much you don't care then fine...maybe it is better to give him a better shot at life." He mumbled,not wanting to let Mason go,but...they weren't exactly the perfect pair for a child yet. For one, she didn't look to happy on having a baby..she wouldn't even hold him...and for another, he didn't have the patience.

Eli blinked before feeling the urge to.. With not thinking she pulled her shoe off and chucked it at Julian "Go to hell! God, maybe we should even be together cause clearly we're not meant to be! Yes, I said something I should have said. I would give up my life before i let rumple or the government take Mason." Just not thinking right in the head. Saying she would give her child up to Rumple, telling Julian she wasn't want to be with him. They both just needed some sleep "Just go! Get the hell out now! Get out of my face, I can't deal with you being a grump." she pointed away from the house not wanting to deal with him. "And I don't want to hold him for I'm afraid to drop Mason, but thanks for clearing it up that I have no feelings towards him!" Eli did want to keep mason, he was hers after all. She covered her face trying to calm herself down.

Julian gave her a look as she chucked her shoe at him and grabbed it as he placed it down at the table. He glared at her when she told him maybe they weren't meant to be,trying to hide his feeling of hurt. As she pointed away from the house, he walked backwards "Maybe I will!" He yelled as he turned his back against her,walking away as she continued. "Like if you can do better!" He shouted as he turned his head,looking at her from the corner of his eyes. "You won't even touch him...how much of a better parent are you,Eli?! Have fun with your temper and the baby..I'm pretty sure someone is gonna end up calling child support.." He grumbled under his breath as he rushed away,just not wanting to be around here. Maybe sometime to sleep would do him good. He hadn't been this mad in...ever,but hearing Eli's words just made him really mad..even though deep inside he knew she didn't mean it. She was bipolar after all.

Eliana felt hurt walking back into the house she slammed the door and screamed into her hands, Hearing her phone go off, she pulled it out from her pocket and chucked it at the wall smashing it into pieces. Hearing Mason's whine, Eli count down slowly. Rolling her shoulder back and walked up towards her hand, she picked up Mason from her arms "I.. i got this.." she said, rubbing his back slowly then walked upstairs to her room. Once inside she sat Mason up looking at his eyes as she laughed "You have his kind eyes...." she mumbled. Turning on her side she held Mason close towards her chest and fallen asleep. Hours went by and woke up to him crying. Eli raised her head up almost forgetting her fight with Julian and frowned. "Shh, shhh...." she rubbed his stomach as Mason used his magic to open the door. Eli jumped before looking down "Did you?" He raised his hands as the light flickered. Eliana chuckled in silent "You smart little boy... You can do magic... And not even a day old?" She raised a brow, was this the reason Rumple wanted him. She picked her infant son up and walked downstairs seeing it was quiet. Audrey must be in bed. Packing up some stuff to keep him warm, change, and fed. Eli pulled the strap over her shoulder "To bad you can't turn into a cub. Make it easy for mama.." she licked her lips. Saying mama felt right "Okay daddy won't come back seeing your mom is a witch towards him. Soo.. We're going on a trip making sure nothing gets you." With that in mind, Eliana opened the door slowly as she held Mason close to him. He however used his magic to close the door as his mom smiled down at him "On... I wish Julian could see this.." she mumbled before taking off with Mason.

Julian didn't head straight to a hotel since a bar caught his attention..and right now, he needed to let loose. Walking inside, he order a beer and walked over to an empty seat. Once they gave it to him, he slowly drank it as he stared down at the floor thinking about the problem. Letting out a sigh, he placed the drink down as he tossed it slowly back and forth between his hands. Once he finished, he stood up and payed for it before heading back out,rubbing his tired eyes. Going into the nearest hotel, he payed for a room just wanting to sleep. Walking into his room, he closed the door behind him and looked at the bed before quickly rushing over to it as he threw himself on it. Closing his eyes, he instantly fell asleep. When he woke up, he lifted his head to look at the time. Rolling his eyes, he dropped his head on the pillow wondering if she was actually gonna give Mason away. Pushing himself up off the bed, he decided to go check on Mason..he didn't want to see the little guy handed over to Rumple. Walking out of the hotel, he quickly rushed over to Eli's house. On the way, he noticed her heading the opposite direction. "Where do you think you are going with him?!"

Holding the little guy close she hard Julian's voice and with out meaning to shout back "What does it matter to you?" she turned to face him as he talked up towards them. Her eyes never once left Mason's face till Julian opened his mouth again causing her to feel hurt by his words. "No, I'm not seeing Rumple. I didn't even mean it when I spoke about it. Gotta think I just have birth not that long again and was tried. Now go to a strip club or something, your free now.. Don't have to deal with me or a kid. But with my temper he'll be taken away right?" she turned around wanting to get out of this city before Rumple or the government found her. Feeling him tug her arm back Eli couldn't look at him "Let me go please.." she asked.

"He is my son also! Why else would I have come back...and you better not be taking him to Rumple." He breathed with a glare towards her as he walked closer to her before stopping right in front of her. When she spoke, he lowered his head forgetting about how harsh he was acting towards her.As she turned about, he lightly tugged on her arm. "No...I'm not." He shook his head,walking in front of her. "I didn't mean anything I said...I was just...listen, I'm sorry.." He mumbled as he lifted her chin up, forcing her to look at him. "I was just...getting a bit frustrated..we aren't exactly ready..for a kid." He frowned as he looked down at Mason "But I think we should just stop pointing fingers at each other,for a start." He averted his eyes back to hers as he looked at her apotegetically. "Now...can you tell me where you were going?" He asked,not wanting to think about her leaving with Mason. "Because you know that there is really no place safe for Mason."

Eli tucked in her lips as he lift her chin up, her eyes revert to Julian's kind blue eyes. Wanting to say Mason's had his kindness. she just opened her lips breathing out heavily "You can say that again." she mumbled, still she couldn't find it in herself to just give him up. They both just needed to try figuring this out and not point who will be the better parent and so on. "I was um.. I was just wanting to get out of that house and somewhere safe for him. Rumple and the government knows where the house is. What if rumple comes when we're asleep. But..." If she just leaves like that her aunt will be in a panic and her father wouldn't like it that his daughter ran off with her son. "I just want him safe." she confessed.

Julian looked at her with a small smile before pecking her lips. "I understand that..I want him to be safe also...but in reality, there is really no place to hide." He frowned,hating to admit it. "I mean, the person we could talk to about Mason's safety has to be...Percy." He rolled his eyes,hating to say it. Ever since..that...happened, he hated to see Percy or talk about him..but he knew he was the only one that could maybe..just maybe help. "It's not like we could just make up a perfect world..." He mumbled lowly as he looked down at Mason. "Do you know of a spell that could protect him...while we are asleep?" He asked,just thinking about it..she was right. Rumple could think of something while they were sleeping and they wouldn't be able to do anything about it because they would be sleeping.

Eliana sighed not wanting to ask Percy for help until it was the last thing they had to do "I don't want to hear him say 'I told you so."." she rolled her eyes at the thought before leaning in to peck Julian's lips. Mason reached his little hand out towards Julian as Eli thought about a spell "Well, yeah, but... He knows my spells seeing he is the one to taught me after all." she glanced down at Mason "Stay with us please?" Eli mumbled mainly stating that towards Julian as she never took her eyes off Mason. Her parents needed to come back the more people can be on around clock, taking turns watching the baby. Maybe, Eli wont be so worried.

"No one wants to hear him say that." he mumbled with a shake of his head.Smiling down at her, he pecked her lips back until he looked down at Mason. "Right.." He sighed just remembering that Rumple taught her,so he should know every way around the spells. "What about-" He stopped not knowing where he was going with the sentence. Hearing her mumbled, he looked down at the floor as he lowered his head. "Yea.." He nodded his head as he tilted his head to the side to look into her eyes. "Don't worry about me leaving..because that won't happen..ever." He assured her as he placed his hands on her waist. "Now..how about we head back to your place?...it can't be safe out there at this time of day.." He mumbled looking at the sky seeing the sun setting. "We can work this problem with Rumple back inside..yea?"

Eliana nodded her head as they walked back towards her house, Mason had fallen asleep in Eli's arms. Walking inside the house Eli sat on the couch running her ringers through Mason's tiny hairs curling her leg up before she yelp when Julian pulled her up on his lap. "Just pull me like a rag doll." she laughed slightly before pecking his lips. Leaning her head back against his shoulder she sighed "We need more people.. Maybe if we took turns staying up with the kid Rumple can't.. or maybe I can cast an alarm to go off when danger is near?"

Julian walked back with her as he looked up at the sky for a moment. Once they were in, he sat down on the couch beside her before lifting her up on his lap with a smirk. "Hey, I handled you with care." He chuckled,rubbing her thighs lightly. Resting his cheek on her head as she rested the back of her head on his shoulder, he looked down at Mason sleeping soundly....so peaceful. "More people? Why?" He asked in a low voice before lightly nodding his head. "Yea...but babe, I don't think I'll be able to stay up with Mason alone.." He sighed looking down at Mason with a small frown. "After what happened...I don't want it to happen again.." He turned his head to kissed her temple. "Maybe an alarm..but what if it's too late by then?"

Eliana placed her finger on his lip to shut him up "Correction, last time.. or last night should I say. We didn't have anything that you could use, like baby milk or diapers. So you didn't know what to do if he were hunger or anything." she felt him kiss her temple. "But when we'll have to go see Percy and I want that to be the last thing we ever have to do. I mean nothing against him but I can never look at his couch with out laughing." she grinned. Thinking it would be payback from what Percy let Eliana do. Thinking about making love or should say try for a baby made her laugh.

When she placed a finger on his lips, he gave her a look in a playful manner as he tilted his head to make her finger move away. "Last night..but I still don't know what the difference is in cry..whether he is hungry or a full diaper..I wouldn't know..and I am pretty sure you haven't learned that far either." He mumbled as he rested his lips against her crevice and shoulder.A small grin appeared on his lips when she mentioned Percy's couch making him breath a chuckle against her skin. "I know what you mean..." He grinned. "Although..going to him better be the last thing on the list..because no matter what..I still don't like him." He admitted as he wrapped his arms around her waist looking down at Mason. "So..do you have any other ideas?" He asked feeling like this was gonna be a long night. "Is there a spell that could...make you not fall asleep?" He asked,looking up at her. Although, that mustn't be healthy.

"Yeah, there is a spell like that, but you start to go mad. Seeing things that aren't really there and people go need sleep." Mason started moving in her arms as she bit her lip "And no I have not yet know the differences in his cries, but i know when he's hungry and I am not breastfeeding." she nodded her head. Looking down at him he look cute sleeping and kinda wanted to pinch his cheeks "Oh god... I turned into my aunt.. i want to punch his cheeks." Eliana sighed before turning on her side still laying on Julian and placed Mason on his chest. Eliana started to grow tried "I think Audrey is going back out today... To shop for cloths and toys.. Don't worry I'm not going with her but tell me. What really happened?"

"Yea, I figured.." He breathed a sigh. He didn't know much about magic so he was just shooting out ideas,not thinking about the consequences. "How?" He asked as his eyebrows lowered,not seeing how she could know something like that. "Is it the whole..mother child..connection..thingy?" He chuckled. He didn't think that even existed...but if she knew when the baby was hungry, it had to be that. "What? Why would you say that?" He chuckled before he grew serious when she said she wanted to pinch Mason's cheeks. "That's pretty funny..because I have a feeling you are gonna end up doing it sooner or later..and then hate yourself for it." He grinned as he wrapped his arms securely around her when she turned to her side. "She is?" He asked having a mini panic attack at the thought of being with Mason again..by himself. "...Nothing...ok well, Mason fell off the couch while I went to get something to drink.." He mumbled quickly as he looked at her hesitantly before speaking seeing her opening her mouth. "The baby was asleep! I didn't think he would roll in his sleep!! What new born rolls enough to fall out of the freaking couch!?" He frowned.

Eliana slowly closed her eyes hearing him say Mason fell off the couch when he went to get a drink "Now i know why the kitchen had glass on the floor." she said then slightly laughed at his little comment "I guess our new born learns fast. He'll be walking before he even crawls." Eliana nuzzled her head falling asleep. Mason had his little fist against his dad's cheek and Eilana had her hand on Julian's chest, both asleep on him.

Hope and Jayden were at the beach as she glazed around looking for him "Jayden?" She called for him wondering how long it takes to get changed into swim trunks? Rubbing the side of her head she raised a brow then sat down on the sand looking up at the sky. Her eyes soon caught a site of Jayden as her jaw dropped open.

"Righttt...the glass...I meant to clean that up." He chuckled sheepishly before nodding at her little remark. "Yup. That actually won't surprise me.." He smirked,looking down at Mason. He grabbed the remote and turned on the TV,lowering the volume, seeing Eli and Mason were both asleep. Besides, he needed to stay awake..in case of Rumple.

Jayden was in the changing rooms with his swim shorts..but couldn't help himself...he had bought himself hash. Maybe forgetting about his problem at the moment wouldn't be such a bad idea. He breathed a chuckle at how much this would be like deja-vu,but he didn't care...maybe this would bring some good. After while of smoking, he looked up at the ceiling with a grin as he pulled off his swim shorts "Too restricting.". It was as if all his problems went away...and it was like he didn't care about anything at moment. Stepping out, he held his hands out with a wide smile as his eyes wandered around the beach. "This is so fun!" he laughed as he rushed over to the water,stumbling on it before a wave crashed all over him. Somehow, he managed to get out as he rushed over to her. "Did you see that!? I just got out of that monster!" He pointed over to water with a grin "All because..." he gestured to his 'personal area' "I am a freaking superhero!" 

The way the mother and child mimic the same pose in their sleep and their mouth open slightly. People could tell Mason was Eli's son. They both winkled their nose while before before sighing. Eliana licked her lips in her sleep as she could hear the sound of the TV.

Hope covered her mouth seeing Jayden was naked as she breathed out a silent giggle. Watching as the waves crashed over him knocking him on his back before he mange to get out on his feet and ran over towards her. "Saw Jayjay." she tilt her head towards the side before blinking at the nickname. Shrugging her shoulders back, Hope gotten up at her feet and poked Jayden's chest "Well, come get me superhero." she then dashed off.

Julian kept his eyes on the TV before seeing a shadow through the window..Suzy was outside as she ran away from Percy since they had a little talk with what she was gonna do. She did have a job to complete..and that was to inform a girl by the name of Eliana about her invitation...more like a forced invitation..to a wizard game show for those who become wizards. Looking over her shoulder, she chuckled thinking she had lost Percy as she made it to Eli's house. Rushing to a window, she peeked in before rushing over to the door,giving it a knock.



Jayden's grin grew as she poked his chest making him rub that spot before showing his puppy eyes as she ran away from him. "No love?" He pouted as he watched her run. "Mmm, do I have to?" He whined,tilting his head back. "OK then!" He shrugged his shoulder as he quickly ran after her. Seeing she was a werewolf this time, it was a bit challenging,but when he eventually caught up to her, he tackled her down into her sand with a laugh. "Gotcha!" He exclaimed "What do you I win? Is it something good? It better be something good because you don't wanna disappoint me..do you?" He blabbered on finding it difficult to make himself stop. "Because if that happens, I will-" He stopped with a blink when she made him stop talking.

Eliana left a slight drool on Julian's chest as she woke up whipping the small drool off her chin with a grin. "Sorry." she said leaning her head back down against his shoulder feeling tired, her eyes looked over at the window and blinked. She lift up and gotten of Julian as she walked over towards the door and opened it "Can I help you?" she asked.

Hope continue to run until Jayden tackled her down, handing on her back she left as all the air in her lungs escape all at once. Hearing him continue to babble on and on about getting a price he sounded like some kid that popped in her mind wanting cake all the time. Not knowing it was Eli always asking for sweets when she was younger. Pressing her lips against his causing him to shut up, she cup the back of his neck tilting her head towards the side as she deepened their kiss. Her knees brushed up against his member teasing him through he was high it wouldn't take effect.

Julian chuckled as he hid his grimace when she apologized for drooling at him. "It's fine.." He shrugged as he wiped her drool off of his chest with his shirt...still, it didn't make it better. His hand rubbed up and down her back as he paid his attention back to the TV..until hearing a knock at the door.He unwrapped an arm around Eli so that should could get up to answer the door while he wrapped both of his arms securely around Mason. No way was he letting loose of this guy..not even a little. Suzy took a step back when Eliana opened the door making her smile at her. "Hey, you are Eliana,right?" She asked with a small point to her before Percy rushed in to tackle her down. "What the hell Percy?!" She complained as she tried to push him off of her "I am already late on giving her the invitation!" "Eli, don't open the letter." Percy warned knowing that when she opened it..her name would automatically go on the list of future contestants. He stood up along with Suzy as she took out the letter from her pocket. Percy glanced around a bit before his eyes rested on Eli "So..are you?" He asked wondering if she would open it as Suzy gave him a look before averting her eyes to Eli,giving her a warm smile.



Jayden felt her lips against his and kissed her back with a chuckle as he pulled away. "Was that it?! Rip off!" He scoffed,not really having any affect on her knee brushing up against his member teasingly. "You know..you should really come up with better prize." he chuckled as he looked up glancing around seeing people leaving the beach while giving him a dirty look. "What's their problem?" He asked with a small pout,pointing over to the people as he moved to sit on his knees. "Oh and..Thank you" He smiled "For the gift...it was..alright." He shrugged.
