Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp 18)

Ozzy: *softly, having a bad dream* M-momma... no....

Thrax: *jolts awake at his son's cries* -Not again.- *places his hand on Ozzy's face*

Ozzy: *softly in his sleep* S-stop momma... *soft sob as though he was hit * daddy! *though still asleep he seeks his father's arms and as soon as he breathes in his father's scent he seems to calm, though sniffles, in the dream he was a little boy and his mother had been beating him and he'd run to his father for protection, but not his biological one...Thrax*

Thrax: *gently shakes Ozzy* C'mon baby wake up, please.

Ozzy: *opens his eyes and looks up at Thrax, seeming more childlike than when he'd gone to sleep*

Thrax: *sits up and lifts Ozzy into his arms, holding him against his chest* It's okay baby, daddy's here. *rubs his back*

Ozzy: *softly* daddy... *nuzzles, cuddling up close to him*

Thrax: *strokes his face lightly* It's okay, just a bad dream. Sssshhh. *begins to rocks Ozzy in his arms*

Ozzy: *sniffles* Momma hit me...

Thrax: *growls slightly at hearing this* Looks like I was right about her being a she-demon. *continues rocking Ozzy, holding him to his chest*

Ozzy: *sniffles softly and nuzzles him* You were in the dream... I ran to you and... she went away....

Thrax: *gets to his feet with Ozzy in his arms* I'll will always be there to protect you, my baby, my son. *keeps rocking Ozzy gently as he begins to pace*

Ozzy: *hugs him tightly* daddy...*nuzzles*

Thrax: *gently nuzzles him* My little Ozzy. *keeps Ozzy close to him*

Ozzy: *hugs him tight* I've had that dream before....

Thrax: *hugs him tight* There no need to be afraid baby, I'm here.

Ozzy: It was different this time. *rubs his eyes*

Thrax: *rubs his back* How so?

Ozzy: *sniffs* You weren't there last time I had it.... and when I woke up I was all alone..

Thrax: Oh Ozzy. *hugs him to his chest, stroking his face*

Ozzy: *sniffles softly, clinging to him tightly*

Thrax: *gently rubs his back* You're not alone now my angel. I will always be here to comfort you. *kisses his forehead*

Ozzy: *softly* I love you daddy

Thrax: *whispers* So do I baby. So do I.

Ozzy: *smiles softly, cuddling*

Thrax: *holds Ozzy close a few tears streaming down his face* -But can I keep that promise.-

Ozzy: *snuggles him*

Thrax: *holds him tight, refusing to let go of him as he lays them both back down on the bed*

Ozzy: *cuddles up close to him* mmmm.. *purrs*

Thrax: *shocked that Ozzy had actually purred but smiles and replies with his own*

Ozzy: *squeezes him a little and cuddles closer starting to go to sleep*

Thrax: *strokes Ozzy's face lightly as his own eyelids begin to droop*

Ozzy: *wakes while Thrax is still asleep and smiles at his father*

Thrax: *pulls Ozzy closer to his chest, still sleeping*

Ozzy: *smiles warmly at his father and looks to his hands, he doesn't know why he finds them so gosh darn fascinating but he picks up his left hand, lightly touching the back of his claw*

Thrax: *half an hour or so later he begins to have a nightmare caused by his memories and fears. He hears a high pitch scream that causes him to run only to find his wife and son surrounded by white-blood cells coming closer to them. His wife pleas for them to leave her and her son alone but it falls on deaf ears. One of the cells grabs her putting the enzyme blaster in her mouth while another aimed at her child. Thrax tries to get to them but black tentacles wrap themselves around his arms and legs. All he could do is watch as the enzyme blasters are fired and his wife and child fell motion-less to the ground.* No. *The cells turn to him with cold emotion-less looks on their faces before one of them holds something up in front of his face. Thrax can't believe who he sees.* Ozzy. . . *Ozzy seemed to be crying out to Thrax but he couldn't move to help him. The cruel smirks of cells was sickening as they prepared to do the same thing to Ozzy as they did to his family.* Nooooooo. . . *with that he jolts awake*

Ozzy: *starts at jumping and falling off the bed and landing hard on his rump, looking up at him* D-daddy? *has a wide eyed worried expression on his face*

Thrax: *has his head in his hands, muttering to himself* All my fault. All my fault.

Ozzy: Daddy? *puts his hands back on the side of the bed.* Daddy. *he reaches out and touches his arm*

Thrax: *looks towards Ozzy, tears streaming down his face* Oh my little Ozzy. *scoops Ozzy into his arms, clinging him close to his chest as his tears continue to flow*

Ozzy: What's wrong? *hugs him back tightly, worried for him*

Thrax: *his voice trembling* My memories, my fears. Oh sweet Frank. *nuzzles Ozzy gently*

Ozzy: *hugs him tightly and kisses him on the cheek* Were you having a dream about what happened to your family?

Thrax: My family and you. *chokes back sobbing* The look on those cells faces after they finished with my family and where going to do the same to you. Frank, I thought I was going to be sick. *holds Ozzy tightly as his nightmare still lingers in his mind*

Ozzy: It's ok.. It's ok... It was just a dream. *hugs him* I'm safe with you see? It's alright daddy... please don't cry..

Thrax: *hugs Ozzy back* -A dream? More like a living hell.-

Ozzy: *cuddles him warmly*

Thrax: *strokes Ozzy hair lightly* -I swear to you my baby that I will not make that mistake again.-

Ozzy: *nuzzles his chin, cuddling closer* I love you daddy..

Thrax: *nuzzles him softly* I love you too, baby. Now and forever.

Ozzy: *smiles up at him* Feel better? *smiles*

Thrax: *nods, wiping his tears away and kisses Ozzy on the forehead*

Ozzy: *cuddles*

Thrax: *rubs his back beginning to rock him back and forth*

Ozzy: *kisses him on the cheek*

Thrax: *smiles softly reaching into the bedside table drawer and pulls out a leather binded book with 'Photo Album' on the front*

Ozzy: *looks at the book* Can I see?

Thrax: *smiles* Of course, sweetie. *opens the book up to the first set of photographs of Thrax's family when he was a kid*

Ozzy: *smiles* Hey is that you? *points to Thrax*

Thrax: *chuckles* Yeah. Took after my mother, Marie, in both looks and brains. *points to an older female version of himself wearing a long black dress*

Ozzy: *smiles* Yeah I see the resemblance... You look just like her only... y'know.... she's more pretty. *chuckles*

Thrax: *smirks at him* My father may have been fierce. *points to a mean looking grey virus that looks almost like Thrax in a demonic form* but my mother was the real one to fear. *shows a photo of the three of them together*

Ozzy: I take it your mom was the disciplinarian? *smiles* Were your parents nice?

Thrax: *chuckles* My mom was strict but loving all the same as was my dad though he was off his rocker most of the time. *turns the page showing Thrax and his parents through his early years*

Ozzy: *smiles softly as he looks at the album* You were such a cute kid.

Thrax: Cute but I sometimes gave mom a run for her money. *grins at Ozzy* Just like a certain cell we know. *tweaks Ozzy's nose*

Ozzy: *chuckles* Did you get spanked?

Thrax: From time to time but she only to show she cared for me just like I do for you. *taps Ozzy nose turning the page to Thrax's teenage years*

Ozzy: *smiles and rests his head on his shoulder* I wish I could meet them.

Thrax: *sighs* So do I. Mom would really love you, cell or not. *Thrax looked at one photo of him with a drunk look on his face and his arms wrapped around two fine lookin' female viruses* -I thought I'd burned that.-

Ozzy: *chuckles* Were kinda wild huh?

Thrax: *blushes* Just glad I got it out of my system then. *turns the page to show Thrax smiling with his arm wrapped round the waist of a beautiful virus with purple skin, flame-red hair and ice-blue eyes. His heart stopped at seeing this.*

Ozzy: *softly* She's beautiful.

Thrax: *whispers* My beloved Eve. *runs his finger over her face*

Ozzy:*takes hold of Thrax's hand and gives it a gentle squeeze*

Thrax: *sighs* I met her while out with some friends. She was being pestered by a groups of lustful viruses but I stepped in to save her. She was only one I'd ever truly loved. *turns the page and reveals their wedding day photograph*

Ozzy: You guys sure were great together. Aww who's that cute little boy in the corner there? *points to one of the family member's kids*

Thrax: *chuckles* Eve's nephew, Danny. Sweet little guy. He was the ring bearer at our wedding.

Ozzy: *chuckles* So cute. *smiles*

Thrax: *sniggers, turns the page to a few years ahead with Eve supporting a warm smile with her hand on her abdomen*

Ozzy: *smiles*

Thrax: *looks towards one with him and Eve laying half naked on the couch whiles he's stroking her swollen stomach*

Ozzy: *chuckles softly* Awww...

Thrax: *smiles softly turning the page to show Eve in hospital. Her hair hung over her face and she looked tired but proud and happy. Thrax was sitting next to her with his arm round her shoulders. In her arms Eve held a small newborn baby who was gripping on Thrax's pinkie finger.*

Ozzy: What's her name?

Thrax: *snorts* He, Ozzy. That's our son Rory. *Rory seemed to be the spitting image of Thrax but he had Eve's eyes*

Ozzy: *blushes* Sorry. *smiles* He's a cute lil guy.

Thrax: *smiles proudly* The son I hoped to have. I had always hoped if I had a son he would have his mother's eyes. *looks at the photo of him on the bed with Rory sleeping of his chest* Eve surprised me that day. *chuckles*

Ozzy: Did she?

Thrax: *laughs lightly* She would snap a pic of me with Rory every chance she got. *gestured to several others of Thrax and Rory*

Ozzy: *laughs softly* I don't blame her! These are precious.

Thrax: *sniggers* But I got her back. *flips over the page that shows several of Eve with Rory*

Ozzy: *laughs softly*

Thrax: Rory was suppose to be the first of several for me and Eve but as fate would have it that dream would never happen. *looks at the photos of Rory's first birthday, Christmas, family reunion and several others*

Ozzy: *softly* I'm sorry about what happened to them... It's tragic.. *looks up at him* But I'm glad you have happy memories you can still smile at. *smiles a bit*

Thrax: *smiles softly turning to the last page* This was our last time together before the attack. *the photo shows three of them together on the couch. Thrax has his arm round Eve as they smiled at Rory who was hugging his mother's stomach happily. You can see a small bump on Eve's stomach*

Ozzy: *squeezes Thrax's hand again and turns around to hug him* You're a good father... a great one

Thrax: *closes the book, setting it down on the dresser and pulls Ozzy into his arms* Thank you, baby.

Ozzy: *hugs him tightly resting his head against the virus' warm chest

Thrax: *purrs softly to his son*

Ozzy: *smiles softly and cuddles him*

Thrax: *smiles, thinking of his folks* -Wonder what they'll think of this situation.- *strokes Ozzy's cheek*

Ozzy: *cuddles with him and smiles* You wanna order takeout for dinner tonight dad?

Thrax: *looks down at him* Just this once fast food makes me sick if I eat it too often. *taps Ozzy's nose*
