I am Jude

{Jude}

The next day I woke up to see Ivy sitting on the edge of the bed holding Leo in her arms. Leo looked overjoyed now that he saw that I was finally awake.

I smiled. "So why did you bring Leo, Ivy?"

"Well figured you would want to visit with Leo for a bit and I need to talk to you," Ivy said. She put Leo down on the bed and I watched him crawl up to me and sit by me.

Before Ivy could say anything Leo said, "Dada!"

He clapped his hands after he said that, proud of what he just said. Ivy chuckled. "Yup, believe it or not, what you just heard Leo say was his first word," She looked at Leo and said, "You wanna show dada what your second word was Leo?"

"Mama!" Leo said. Then he blew a raspberry after he said it.

I snorted. "Good job Leo."

Ivy rolled her eyes. "Yeah I know he's been doing that ever since he learned to say those two words. It's almost as if he knows we're having problems and I'm the main cause of it."

"Mama!" Leo said and then he blew another raspberry.

"Ha, ha, very funny Leo. It's cute now but it won't be so cute when you get older," Ivy said. She let out a breath, "Okay this is not easy for me to say this, but Jude… I'm sorry."

I could tell by her thoughts that she was sincere this time. I cried, reached over and kissed her. Leo seemed to be even more happy when he saw that. He clapped his hands and giggled.

Then we heard Oliver and Rainbow Dash shouting after Color Rain on her daily game of teleportation hide and go seek.

"Color Rain get back here!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "Dude, I know it's my day off but can you take a break for once? Yup, Jude's right, my children are not normal!"

Hey big brother Jude, I hope you're feeling better today. Color Rain thought. I haven't been playing on this side of the castle because mom told me not to anymore. So I thought I would swing by and say hi.

Suddenly, Color Rain popped up in the room with a smile on her face. I laughed, "Hey Color Rain, I'm fine for the moment."

Okay big brother, you keep resting. I can tell from my magic that you're not fully recovered yet. Okay gotta go! Color Rain thought. She disappeared as quickly as she came.

After she left Leo had a look of disgust on his face. I raised an eyebrow. "What's that look for Leo?"

"Ca… Ca.." Leo started to say, after a couple more tries he just gave up and blew a raspberry.

Ivy laughed, "Okay, I think he's trying to say he doesn't like Color Rain."

Leo clapped and giggled. The strangest thing with Leo since he hasn't been fully developed in his thinking functions, I can't hear his thoughts at all. Of course my wound on my cheek just had to act up. Ivy gasped and quickly picked up in such a way he wouldn't be able to see what's going on with me. I didn't know what happened after that, because the world slowly faded on me and everything went dark.

* * *

The world slowly came back into focus when I opened my eyes. The light in the room blinded me. Nope, I'm not opening my eyes, no way, not doing it!

All of the sudden, every memory I had of being at AI came to my mind. It felt like I was doing a Feeding Ritual. I screamed and covered my head with a pillow. "Make it stop! Make it stop!"

I felt magic being cast on me and that calmed whatever was happening to me down and eventually it stopped altogether. I let out a sigh of relief and gently removed the pillow from my head. When I opened my eyes, I saw Ivy, Eli, Milo and Micheal sitting at my bedside, with worried looks on their faces. I could hear in their thoughts whatever just happened to me, scared the crap out of them. It scared Ivy the most and I don't blame her.

We sat there in awkward silence at first when Ivy spoke, "Jude are you okay? Cause it didn't sound like it out loud and in your head."

"I don't know," I said. "Whatever that was, I don't want to experience it again. It felt like I was doing another Feeding Ritual."

Ivy looked away. "Oh."

Michael tilted his head. "Feeding Ritual?"

Ivy explained to Michael what the Feeding Ritual was and his jaw dropped. “Well that’s a painful way to eat.”

“No kidding,” Ivy said, “not to mention it puts you out of commission for at least a day after six hours of doing it! But Jude’s lasted for fifteen hours! So that put him out of commission for two days or more depending on how stubborn he wanted to be about getting back to work. Oh yeah he’s Rainbow Dash’s son alright.”

I rolled my eyes. "Very funny Ivy."

"Well at least you don't say Rainbow Dash and then blow a raspberry after you say her name." Ivy laughed.

Eli raised an eyebrow. "Say what now?"

I smiled. "Leo just started talking and while he loves to say the name Dada, he says Mommy and then blows a raspberry afterward. He did the same thing when he tried to say Color Rain's name."

Eli, Milo and Michael almost fell out of their seats, they were laughing so hard.

"Honestly, I wish he learned how to talk back at AI," I said. "He probably would've done the same thing to First Mother."

"Yeah, I suspect she did give Leo nightmares every time he saw her." Ivy said. "He wouldn't eat for two days after she held him."

Everyone had a good laugh at that thought. After we stopped laughing I could hear in everyone's thoughts that they should leave me alone so I could rest more but they didn't want me to be completely alone because that Logan guy that's possessing me.

I rolled my eyes and thought, This stupid Logan joke is getting on my last nerve! He's not real, he's just a figment of my imagination. It's well past Nightmare Night so I wish they would just drop it already!

Ivy sighed, "You know we can't drop it Jude. Even if the guy's not real, you're still getting injured by your out of control magic. That reason alone means you shouldn't be completely alone in my book and I think everyone else feels the same way."

I rolled my eyes again when I saw Eli, Milo and Michael nodding their heads in agreement.

"Fine," I mumbled.

"The question is who's staying with you today because I have to take care of Leo. Since he's starting to talk now, I figure I should pay attention to him," Ivy said.

Eli looked at the time and sighed, "Well, I have to go take care of Night Court soon. So I can't do it tonight at the moment."

I bit my tongue trying to keep myself from laughing at Michael's thoughts because he seemed eager to stay with me tonight but he was waiting for Milo to say something first.

Eli looked at me and smiled. "What?"

I shook my head, "Nope, I'm not saying a word. I think I'll just let Michael speak for himself."

I couldn't stop myself from laughing when I saw Michael's face turn red. He looked away when he saw Eli, Ivy and Milo staring at him.

Milo snorted. "You know if you want to stay with Jude tonight all you have to do is say something. I think it's cute you're being polite Michael."

"I, uh… Well, um…" Michael stammered, which made me laugh even harder.

"Well, that settles it," said Ivy, "Michael, you're staying with Jude tonight."

Eli and Milo got up to leave first and once Ivy got up to leave of course she just couldn't help herself, "You two lovebirds have fun. Don't do anything I wouldn't do!"

"You can't help yourself can you?" I laughed.

Ivy smiled. "Nope!"

She kissed me and turned around and left.

I laid in bed next to Michael just talking to him. I had to admit, along with talking to him I enjoyed hearing his thoughts too. I also liked the fact that I felt somewhat comforted just holding him in my arms for some reason. I had no idea I was playing with his dick until he said something about it.

"Uh, Prince Jude?" Michael said.

"Huh?" I said.

"Is there some reason why your hand is in my pants and you're playing with my dick?" Michael said.

I paused and looked underneath the covers to see that I had my hand in his pants. I quickly took my hand and put it behind my back.

Michael laughed, "It's okay Prince Jude, we've already made out a few times. And I have let you touch me there a couple of times. Although I'm not sure if I want to have sex yet still."

I rolled over so I wasn't facing him. I tensed up when Michael put his arms around me.

"You need to relax," said Michael. "Of course I understand that's kind of a hard thing to do right now. Taking into consideration everything that's been happening to you lately."

Michael started to massage my hip and I calmed down a bit. I tensed up again when I felt him get an erection. I heard his thoughts and what made things more awkward was that he was debating so badly about whether or not he should wait until Eli would start showing interest in him in order to have sex with me.

I really should wait until I get a chance to be with Prince Eli, Michael thought, but Prince Jude just as kind and caring and he's right up there on the sexiness factor along with Prince Eli. But wow, I can feel just by touching his muscles how much magic he has on his own. But on the other hand I should..

"Okay then," I said, "Michael if you really want to do something then do it. You're overthinking this a bit. You're sending mixed signals here."

"I uh, I don't know…" Michael said.

Michael started to kiss my neck and I could hear once again in his thoughts that he was unsure of what he was going to do next.

Wow, I thought, I have never met someone so confused in my entire life! Not even back at AI! Maybe I should help him make up his mind.

Seeing that we were both still fully clothed other than not having shoes on, I smiled at what I was getting ready to do next. I unzipped my pants and guided Michael's hand over my dick. I moaned when Michael squeezed it. I could still hear his thoughts that he was unsure of what to do next.

What is happening to me? Michael thought. It seems my body wants to be with Prince Jude. I want to be with him. Oh hell, I really should just go ahead and do this!

Michael took off his pants and underwear and I thought, Oh yeah, he totally wants me. I wonder if he's going to go through with it though?

Michael answered my question when he started to thrust into me. I moaned when he kept doing it and kept encouraging him to do it.

"Do you like that?" Michael said.

I didn't say anything, I just moaned in response.

Man this feels so good, Michael thought, and he's not objecting to this, so I'll just keep going.

At least I don't have to make this guy scream, because right now I don't feel like doing that today. I thought.

As laid there just enjoying myself having sex with Michael, I smiled as I heard in his thoughts that he didn't want this to end anytime soon.

Damn it! Michael thought. I think I'm getting ready to come, no not now. Please, not now.

I didn't expect what happened next to happen. When Michael came inside me, his whole body shook.

Michael sighed a happy and content sigh. "I should've done this sooner but you know with everything that's been happening lately..."

"Yeah I know," I said, "but I'm telling you Michael, you are the most conflicted person I have ever met!"

"I am?" Michael said.

I nodded. "Yes, you are. It's funny though, this whole entire time you've been wanting to be with Eli and somehow you wound up with me instead. Although I was wondering if you were going to wind up with me because I could hear in your thoughts that you were having feelings for me before we even made out for the first time."

"Oh." Michael said, "Well, I'm glad I just took your clothes off during sex. It feels much nicer holding you while you're naked."

I rolled over so I was facing him and we started to make out. After a while Michael stopped me from going any further with him.

"What is it?" I said.

"I'm not sure if I can have sex again because I just came," Michael said.

I laughed, "It's okay Michael, is that what happens when you're with a stallion?"

Much to my surprise, he nodded.

"Wow," I said. "That's okay, we don't have to have sex again. We just lay here and talk or make out. To me, it doesn't matter what we do at the moment, just as long as my out of control magic doesn't get involved."

Michael smiled. "Sure whatever happens is fine by me."

So we went back to making out again, nothing else happened after that.
