Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp 17)

*they arrive at a small superstore just a few blocks from their home*

Ozzy: Heh they have everything here don't they? Even the kitchen sink.

Thrax: *chuckles* They sure do. *grabs a cart and whispers to Ozzy* Now remember to keep you voice low and behave okay?

Ozzy: *nods* Yes sir...

Thrax: *gently nuzzles him and heads into the store with Ozzy balanced on his hip*

Ozzy: *hugs him around the shoulders as they head in*

Thrax: *sees the crowd that are inside* -Must be everyone's shopping day.- *starts looking for the items for Ozzy*

Ozzy: Well it's Friday. Another big day's Sunday after church

Thrax: *turns Ozzy and whispers* Ozzy please keep you voice low. *glances round nervously as he begins to select the right items for his son*

Ozzy: *shuts his mouth and whispers* Sorry.

Thrax: *has his heart in his throat as he selects the oil and powder* -Try to stay calm no need to get nervous.-

Ozzy: *touches his hand*

Thrax: *looks towards him and gently nuzzles him giving him a soft smile*

Ozzy: *rests his head on his shoulder*

Thrax: *gives a soft sigh smiling and continues on with his shopping*

Random female cell: *chuckles* Aww looks like the little fella's about to fall asleep on you there.

Thrax: *chuckles, stroking Ozzy's face* It'll be naptime for him once we get home. *kisses Ozzy's forehead*

RFC: *chuckles* You're lucky.... My little boy was fussy at that age when he was sleepy.

Thrax: *rubs Ozzy's back gently* They maybe hard work but they sure are worth it.

RFC: *chuckles and heads down the isle again* They sure are. Take care ok.

Thrax: *calls back to her* Thanks. *smiles at Ozzy and continues on their shopping spree*

Ozzy: *is mostly quiet the whole time*

Thrax: *finishes collecting the items for Ozzy and begins shopping for their food* Hopefully the meat and veg are fresh today.

Ozzy: I hope so cause... ew.....

Thrax: *chuckles and looks along the rows of fresh fish and meat*

Ozzy: *rests his head on his shoulder and gestures to some of the imitation 'crabmeat' type stuff* I'm allergic to that.

Thrax: *smiles* I'm not too fond of shell fish either. *selects a couple of tuna fish and salmon*

Ozzy: *yawns a bit* tiiiiiiiiiiired,,,

Thrax: *chuckles* Just a few more items and then we'll go home. *gathers the rest of their shopping and heads to the check-out counter*

Ozzy: *reaches for one of the soda bottles on the conveyor*

Thrax: *gently takes hold of his hand to stop him* Ozzy, no. *begins to line up the items in front of the cashier*

Ozzy: *pulls his hand back and reaches for something else.

Cashier: *chuckles* Quite a handful isn't he?

Thrax: *gently bounces Ozzy in his arms* You don't know the half of it. *places his hand on the back of Ozzy's head*

Ozzy: *playfully chews on Thrax's hand, not biting hard, just being cute*

Thrax: *gently nuzzles him before turning back to the cashier*

Cashier: he's so cute.

Thrax: *smiles* Takes after his mother. *strokes Ozzy's face*

Cashier: Well I bet she's pretty. *smiles* have a nice day.

Thrax: *hands her the money* Keep the change. *collects the bags up*

Ozzy: *reaches for the bags*

Thrax: Oh no you don't baby. *gathers up all the bags on his free hand and arm* Let daddy handle it. *kisses his forehead*

Ozzy: I wanna help... *reaches again*

Thrax: *hitches the bags on his arm* Too heavy for you sweetie. *whispers to him* You're gonna draw attention to us.

Ozzy: Oh... right.. *pulls his hand back.

Thrax: *gently bounces him* We'll be home soon. *heads out of the store and back home*

Ozzy: Heh I hope no one sees me not in a car seat... *wont fit in one*

Thrax: *smirks* I prefer walking away. *nuzzles Ozzy as they reach their home*

Teenaged Female Cell: *notices Thrax carrying the heavy bags on his free arm, nudges her friend* Hey Cecilia, check out the muscle meat on that hunk.

Ozzy: *sighs softly to himself*

Thrax: *smiles softly at his son before he notices the two teenage girls staring at him* -Oh great, just what I need.-

Ozzy: *looks at Thrax* Can we go in now? *whispering very softly*

Thrax: Of course sweetie. *shoots a glare at the giggling air-heads before stepping into the house, setting the bags on the floor* Phew. *wipes his brow exhausted*

Ozzy: Lemme help put stuff away. you look tired

Thrax: *cocks a brow as he sets Ozzy down* Don't say I didn't warn you if you break or spill something. *gathers up Ozzy's supplies and heads into the bedroom*

Ozzy: *nods and helps to put things away but does the light stuff*

Thrax: *finishes with Ozzy's stuff and comes back to help with heavier shopping* That's it. *puts away the last of their shopping*

Ozzy: *sits in the chair and smiles* I did it... I stood long enough to help a little bit.

Thrax: *lifts him into his arms and nuzzles his nose* You sure did. Pretty soon you'll be walking again.

Ozzy: *nods and huggles him* mmmm.

Thrax: *hugs him close but frowns slightly* -And soon you'll leave me.-

Ozzy: *doesn't see the frown and simply nuzzles up under his chin*

Thrax: *sighs sadly and begin to rock Ozzy gently in his arms*

Ozzy: *hugs him tightly* mmm.. *nuzzles in his warmth*

Thrax: *holds him close not wishing to let go stepping into the bedroom*

Ozzy: *yawns* I'm so tired..

Thrax: *strokes his hair* I know baby. *lays Ozzy on the bed and pulls the covers up round his face*

Ozzy: *smiles softly and snuggles close* Will you sing to me again?

Thrax: *smiles* Of course sweetie. *lays on the cover next to Ozzy before he starts to sing* /Hush now my baby. Be still love don't cry./

Ozzy: *nuzzles his hand and starts to drift off*

Thrax: *continues the lullaby but tears begin to form in his eyes*

Ozzy: *drifts off, his hand clenching Thrax's*

Thrax: *gently holds Ozzy's hand, his tears now flowing freely as he chokes out the last line.* /I'll be with you when you dream./

Ozzy: *sleeps, still holding his hand*

Thrax: *gazes at Ozzy feeling as though he will disappear any minute as sleep begins to overtake him*

Ozzy: *cuddles in his sleep*

Thrax: *pulls Ozzy into his embrace, never wanting to let him go*

Ozzy: *whimpers softly in his sleep and cuddles closer to his father in response*

Thrax: *his heart racing, tears following from his eyes as he begins to drift to sleep*
