The Bad Batch: A Heart-breaking Secret - Modern AU(Hunter x Crosshair) Complete!

Chapter 45

An hour later…

A knock on the door made Kix look up only to see a worried Jesse standing there. He was flanked by both Echo, Fives and Hunter. The three looked on with worry. Crosshair looked up only to smile at his lovers who pulled him close while Tech extracted himself from Kix allowing Echo to wrap him up. 

Jesse smiled, pulling his own husband into his arms. 

"I told you, they'd be okay with it. No murders yet" Jesse teased.

"That's because we haven't told Howzer or Fox yet" Kix murmured, kissing Jesse's cheek. 

"What? Your brothers don't know?" Fives exclaimed, Kix only shook his head looking off to the side.

"Does Thorn, Rose and the twins know?" Crosshair asked. 

"Who's Rose?" Hunter questioned. 

"Kix's daughter, she's the middle child" Jesse explained, "They know, it's why I took a week off" Jesse finished, rubbing Kix's back. 

"Well as morbid as this topic is, how would you like to meet your newest granddaughter" Fives grinned as he spoke, accepting Casey off Wrecker.

Kix and Jesse shared a wide eyed look as Fives passed over Casey to Kix who took her while biting his lip. He smiled down at the mini-fives in his arms. 

"Oh, she is definitely your child" Jesse said, he couldn't help but gush over the small child. Jesse found himself taking Casey off Kix when his husband started to cough quite violently, Kix moved out of the room towards the bathroom only to find himself coughing his guts up.

A hand in between his shoulders rubbed to help him pass the vomit and anything that was left in his stomach. 

"I've got you Kixy, let it out" Jesse whispered, kissing his partner's head and ignoring the bits of blood in the sick.

"You alright?" 

"No but not much I can do" Kix yawned, leaning into Jesse as he cleaned up. The two then left the bathroom only to meet the concerned gazes of the others. 

A rumble of an engine had all attention turned to see the Mustang belonging to none other than Fox who climbed out of his car and jogged up to the house. He knocked then walked in bypassing Wrecker before spotting his brother. Fox didn't care that the others were watching as he pulled Kix into his chest. 

"You are going to live your life to the fullest and fuck Rex, I will deal with him. You are not leaving, not while you only have two years. Howzer is currently arguing with Rex and Ahsoka, her mother two. Let us deal with it, otherwise I will get our uncle involved and you know how much he owes me" Fox said with a smile he ignored the others' looks. Kix only tightened his grip, trying not to break down in his brother's arms. Fox pulled back seeing the look, "We will finish this later but expect company" Fox whispered. 

"Dare I ask how many laws you broke getting here?" Obi-wan asked from the doorway. Fox whipped around and glared. 

"None that concerns you Johnathon" Obi-wan only glared at Fox who matched his own with the man he went to school with. 

“You got something to say Fox?” 

“Just that I can’t believe Cody agreed to marry you all those years ago” Fox teased, grabbing his phone when it started to ring. “I’m going to give you some advice, never agree to meet your wife's mother-in-law ever, she never stops ringing, bitch” Fox advised them all, many of them had to ignore his language. 

“Yes” Fox answered the phone, walking off towards his car. Obi-wan instantly noticed the pistol in the back of the Ryker brother’s jeans. He shook his head not wanting to know, they watched Fox climb into the car and rev the engine just to piss off Obi-wan before the car took off down the street.
