Three Little Darlings(Neal/Baelfire)

[Bradley Nightstand]

(OCC: September 5th, evening. Basically Bradley and Neal taking in all the darling kids)

Wendy, Michael and John were interested when Neal and Bradley took them to talk. Wendy had gotten extremely close with Neal while Bradley got close with John and Michael. The kids all had a suspicion something exciting was going on but couldn't figure out what. Bradley guided the three kids replying "Sit down, kids. Neal will be down and explain everything. You kids hungry?"

Michael raised his hand "No, I'm thirsty. Can I have a glass of juice?"
Wendy went to get up "I'll get it for you, Michael"
Bradley encouraged her to sit "No, honey, let me get it. You want some juice too?"
Wendy shook her head "No, but I'm rather curious why we're here"
John nodded, suspicious "Yes, indeed, why do you want us here?"
Bradley chuckled playfully "A magician never reveals the surprise"
Michael beamed "A surprise? Yay! I love surprises!"

[Baelfire/Neal Cassidy]

Baelfire was nervous as he listened to the kids and Bradley talk. He then paused for a moment and smiled at their enthusiasm. He missed being that young and the Darlings in his world were like the siblings he'd always wanted. He walked in and smiled at them.

"Well I brought you here to tell you something. You see in my world I was a young boy. And I had no where to go. And then I broke into a house to steal some food. And Wendy caught me. And so did her parents. Instead of arresting me they chose to adopt me. I was going to have three siblings and a new parent. But then a dark shadow took Wendy to Neverland. And when she returned Peter Pan wanted one of her brothers. You see in my world he was a bad guy. The Lost Boys were evil or followed him out of fear.

And when the Shadow returned I took her brother's place so the three of you wouldn't be separated. I'd already lost my parents. I couldn't let another family get broken up. Eventually I escaped that horrible place. But I didn't find out until much later that Pan had captured the three of you anyway. And I was an adult by then and was able to rescue you. But thanks to magic of Neverland and leaving it John, Michael and I had aged to adults. But Wendy had been stuck there as a girl for years. They went back home and I hadn't seen them since as it's hard to travel between worlds." said Baelfire.

He paused looking at them.

"You remind me of the Darling kids from my world. And the family I could have had. I wanted to adopt you with Bradley. So the three of you won't be adopted by separate people. Or taken into foster care. This is a war going on. But if people found out so many kids were here without parents they might start taking them away. Or arrested us thinking we were kidnapping you or something." said Neal.

He paused looking at them curiously.

"If you want to think about it you can. Just don't take too long. I don't know anyone else who'd want to adopt all 3 of you. You might get adopted out separately." said Baelfire.
