"You don't get to say anything, Gary 'Eggsy' Unwin," Zoey said in a serious tone, but smirked widely as she held back a giggle. Amber smiled lightly as she finished making the hot chocolate and placed it on the table for Zoey as well as Eggsy.

"I'm just happy that you are both alright. Eggsy, you should have came to us for help. We love you and your mom," Amber explained as she leaned against the kitchen counter and looked over towards Eggsy. Zoey nodded her head as she agreed with her mother as she looked over at Eggsy.

"You're practically family to us," Zoey interjected as she looked at Eggsy and hoped that he understood that her family cared about him. "I know it wasn't right of me to step in at the Fusion tonight with Shawn nor was coming over to your house to deal with Dean's dogs," she explained as she looked at him sadly.

"Zoey, be respectful," Amber muttered under her breath as she shook her head at her daughter's words.

"I will not; Dean and his dogs will get what's coming to them eventually," Zoey said angrily as she glared down at her hot chocolate.

"Thank you Mrs Segreti, Amber I mean, and you too Zoey," he smiled as he sipped at his hot chocolate. "I know I should've come here, I guess I just got really independent lately and, it's kinda embarrassing you know?" His slang-like accent was still strong. "I don't wanna be rude, but is there any chance I could sleep over please? Just for tonight until I find somewhere. And with respect Amber, 'dogs' is a compliment," he looked over to Zoey with a smirk, backing her up.

Amber shook her head as Zoey smiled widely at Eggsy, happy that he had backed her up. She took a sip of her hot chocolate when she heard footsteps coming down from the bedrooms as her father appeared in a suit, a sad look in his eyes. "Dad? What's going on?" Zoey questioned as she looked confused at her father.

"Aaron?" Amber said softly as she looked over at Aaron before walking over and placing her hand on his arm gently. Aaron gave her a sad smile, but then shook his head as he looked from Amber to Zoey as well as Eggsy.

"A friend from work has passed away and they are holding a meeting about it at my job. I'll be back in the morning," Aaron explained as he waved to Eggsy and Zoey before kissing Amber on the head as he walked out the door.

"Love you, daddy," Zoey called after him as she looked down at her hot chocolate and then looked back at Eggsy as she shrugged her shoulders at him.

Eggsy felt a little uncomfortable in the situation seeing as although Amber insisted he was part of the family, he wasn't a Segriti. He looked from Aaron to his steaming mug of hot chocolate.

He gave Aaron a reassuring smile as he headed out before turning back to Zoey and finishing his hot chocolate quietly, unsure of what to say in the situation.

"Well, we have a guest bedroom upstairs next to Zoey's room. You are welcome to stay there as long as you'd like, Eggsy," Amber said as she looked at Eggsy and Zoey before heading upstairs to the master bedroom.

"My dad works at a tailor shop a few blocks away," Zoey explained as she looked at Eggsy, knowing he was a bit confused about the situation. "Most of the tailors are really close friends to each other and my dad has known most of them for a while," she admitted as she took another sip of the hot chocolate. "Your dad actually knew a lot of them too, according to my dad," she muttered softly as she glanced over at Eggsy.

"Thank you so much Amber," Eggsy smiled as he nodded.

He watched Zoey as she spoke about the Tailors and listened closely, yet as she mentioned his dad he paused and looked at his lap sadly. Using one hand and holding the hot chocolate in the other, he pulled his neck chain out from his shirt and traced the all too familiar rope like design with his eyes closed.

Zoey blinked as she looked at the neck chain that Eggsy was holding. She had seen it before when she was at Eggsy's apartment when they were younger...the night a man came to his place and told his mother that his father had died. He had given Eggsy that neck chain and had nodded his head to her, as if he knew her.

"Have you ever figured out what that was all about?" she questioned as she nodded her head to the neck chain before taking a sip of hot chocolate. She then heard footsteps and a small whimper as Zoey looked over and saw her little sister, Chelsea, with tears in her eyes. "Chels? What's wrong, kiddo?" she questioned softly as she stood up from the table and walked over to pick up her little sister.

"I had a nightmare," Chelsea whispered softly as she hugged Zoey's neck. Zoey was the only one Chelsea came to about her nightmares.

"Here," Zoey said softly as she held Chelsea and got her a glass of water before walking back over to the table.

Eggsy made a confused face as he stared at the pendent, his eyebrows furrowing as he thought on the matter once again yet could still make no sense.

Oxfords not brogues," he muttered to himself as Zoey comforted her little sister. As he thought about the motto that man in the suit and glasses had told his all the years ago, he thought about what life could be not if he didn't die; no violence, no Dean's dogs, and no Dean. Not once was his father violent to get his word across, he had never let Eggsy run wild, but he never raised his voice to him once. His father had always been a kind man, quiet and well spoken. How he missed him as he looked at the chain once again with a look of sorry and heartbreak in his eye, almost looking as if he were going to cry, but of course he wouldn't infront of anyone, especially not Zoey.

Chelsea blinked as she looked towards Eggsy over Zoey's shoulder and gently reached over towards him. "Don't be sad, Eggsy," she said softly to him as she gently touched his cheek with her hand. She has known Eggsy since she was a baby and she always considered him like an older brother. "We all love you," she said as she gave him a small smile.

"She's right, Eggsy," Zoey said as she glanced over at Eggsy and nodded in agreement with Chelsea. Her little sister smiled lightly as she hopped out of Zoey's lap and gently wrapped her arms around Eggsy's neck. "See? We just want you to be safe," Zoey admitted as she smiled lightly and nodded her head at them.

"I'm going to go back to bed. Love you, Z. Love you, Eggs," Chelsea said as she gently kissed Eggsy's cheek before hopping down and headed back upstairs. Zoey smiled after her 10 year old sister and then turned back to Eggsy as she nudged his shoulder gently.

Putting on a grin for Chelsea, he tickled her after dropping the chain in his shirt but still attached, it hidden by his top once again, "I'm alright you, go on back to sleep!" He gave her a hug "Love you too Chels," He called after her before fishing the chair back out his top as the feelings poured back into his mind involuntarily. He looked over to Zoey as she nudged him.

"Imangine Zoey, what it'd be like... If he was still here I mean," he managed, speaking his mind for once. "Me and my mum, we'd be safe again, happy."
