Third-person pov:

Ivan is in his room laying on the bed. He just pass out for a few minutes but he wole up again. Alexander removed his shoes and coat. Ivan is laying with his head in his father's lap. Lilith said from the door with a sad expression: "he will be fine "

David said holding her face and pecking her forehead: "yes, he will be good in the morning"

Lilith smile at him and Draco said picking her bridal style: "Come on Lilith, let's go to sleep. Doctor Said you need rest"

Lilith pout then said softly: "good night papa, good night everyone"

Alexander said a gentle good night and every one replied to her goodnight. Ivan said waving at her: "good night my little Lily. I'm gonna miss you so much"

Alexander said simply: "I will be back. Tale care of him"

Ivan said pouting: "no leave Dad, I'm scared"

Alexander said gently: "I'm not Ivan. How about you try to sleep?"

Ivan snuggle into him then suddenly get up. He said sitting straight looking at his father with soft teary eyes: "you trust me dad right"

Alexander said simply: "of course, I trust you, Ivan"

He asked looking at him with only hurt and pain: "then why did you slap me? Why did you say I'm not your son dad?"

Alexander keeps looking at him with guilt. He felt tears in his eyes. David said simply: "Dad, he was drunk that's why he is talking like that otherwise he wouldn't"

Alexander said simply: "he is saying the things that he can't say when he is sober"

David sighed because he is right. Ivan look at David then said simply: "hey you can't say between us. I'm talking to my dad"

David rolled his eyes and said blankly: "he is also my Dad"

Ivan giggle then said: "oh yes, I mistake. I forgot we have the same Dad"

David sighed and saw his arm bleeding. He said blankly: "you didn't get stitches"

Alexander looks at them confused and David gives him a nod. Ivan whispers to David: "it's a secret. You can't tell Dad"

David said blankly: "I will be back"

Ivan turns back to Alexander. He said with raised eyebrows: "so where we're?"

Alexander didn't say anything. Ivan put a finger on his chin and think a little looking like a little boy. He said: "yes, why did you slap me right?"

Alexander said simply: "I don't know Ivan. First, you try to hurt your mom then "

Ivan said cutting him off: "she is no mom"

Alexander look at him confused before he can ask him David said simply: "he is just angry at mom for some reason"

Alexander nodded his head and David sat down on the bed next to Ivan. He pulls his sleeve up making Alexander gasp. He growled: "what the hell?"

Ivan pout and David said simply: "Dad, you're scaring him"

Alexander sighed then said blankly: "but why the hell he has so many cuts?"

David said simply: "later Dad"

David slowly unwrapped the bandage making Ivan hissed. He said pouting like he do when he was little: "it's hurt"

David said gently: "shh I know bub, it's will be fine soon"

David gently clean his wound and pull out a needle and stitching thread. David takes a few classes in colleges he knows all this. Ivan said pulling his hand: "no, needle. I don't like injection"
