They'll be Fine Wit' Us

Warning for MacManus swears

Connor and Murphy laid on their mattresses in their relatively dark apartment. They had gotten back from Doc's two hours before and were now lying in silence. Rocco and Doc had helped them get all their stuff back to their place and then left the twins to it.

The first thing Connor and Murphy had done was put the crib together. That had taken much longer than anticipated and they had only just finished five minutes ago. The twins had been put in it and were now fast asleep. Now they were lying there, wide awake, and thinking about how drastically everything had changed in the past several hours.

"Hey Murph?" Connor whispered.

"Aye?" Murphy whispered back.

"Tomorrow... Tomorrow I'm gonna try an' find a place fer me an' the twins ta live," Connor said.

"Wha'? Murphy shot up and stared at him brother with wide eyes, "Wha' d'ya mean?"

"Well we can't exactly stay 'ere, can we?" Connor said.

"Why the fuck not?" Murphy exclaimed and Connor hushed him. They both looked over at the crib with bated breath, but Keona and Arya stayed asleep.

"Why can't ya stay 'ere?" Murphy asked, quieter this time.

"Murph, I found out today I've got two kids," Connor said, as if that explained anything.

"Yeah, an I got a niece an' nephew today," Murphy said, "The hell's that got ta do wit' ye leavin'?"

"Well I can't stay 'ere wit' 'em," Connor said.

"Again, I ask, why the fuck not?"

"Murph, they're babies," Connor said, "They cry at all hours an' they need ta be changed and fed and taken care of all the time and they're expensive-"

"So?" Murphy challenged, staring at his brother.

"So tha' ain't fair fer ye ta have ta deal wit' all tha'," Connor said and Murphy gave his brother an incredulous look.

"Yer bloody jokin' right?" he said, "Ye seriously think yer gonna leave? Take my niece and nephew an' go? I know babies cry and shit an' need food that costs more than we make. But what makes ye think it'll be easier on yer own?"

"Murph-"

"No, shut up Con," Murphy said, "Yer stayin'. You an' me are gonna take care o' Arya and Keona. They'll be fine wit' us."

Connor stared at his brother for a moment before he nodded once.

"Thanks Murph."

"Now, let's get some sleep 'fore they wake up."

The two boys laid and closed their eyes just as a shrill cry pierced the air.

Alright, so I decided I wanted to add some brotherly fluff to this and it is now complete! Thanks so much for reading and let me know what you think!
