Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp 32)

Thrax: *hears Ozzy's car pulling into the drive*

Ozzy: *pauses for a moment and lets out a trembling breath as he grips the wheel tightly and tries to slow his pounding heart*

Thrax: *looks towards the car* -What is wrong with him?-

Ozzy: *gets out of the car with a relieved breath and starts to head toward the door, eager to be home*

Jacqueline: *on the outskirts of the area, sees the car * -I have you now, my son.-

Marie: *spots Jacqueline* Oh no, Vic!

Vic: What is it Marie? *looks outside and narrows his eyes*

Marie: *eyes glow red with her teeth bared* Let's go. *heads out the door*

Vic: I’m right behind you baby... *flexes his claws, letting out a low growl*

Thrax: *sees Ozzy enter* Have a good time, baby?

Ozzy: *nods and hugs him* I ran into mom...

Thrax: *pales* What?

Ozzy: *softly* I was grabbing a soda right quick before heading home... and she cornered me...

Thrax: *worried* What did she want with you?

Ozzy: She wanted to take me back... and she had this... creepy-ass grin... Gads I hated that grin when I was a kid... *shivers*

Thrax: *place his hands on Ozzy's shoulders* She won't get you, baby. *pulls him into a hug* I promise you.

Ozzy: *nods* L-lets go inside kay?

Thrax: Alright. *leads him inside*

Ozzy: *goes inside*

Jacqueline: *sneaks up to the window and looks in* -Who is this guy?- *growls*

Ozzy: *as soon as the door closes his clings tightly to Thrax, shivering* Can I sleep with you tonight?

Thrax: *lifts him up and cradles him* Of course baby. *kisses his forehead*

Jacqueline: *snarls at the scene* -What is that bastard doing to ‘my’ son?- *runs to the door and kicks it in* Get away from him.

Ozzy: *jumps and his eyes widen as he looks up* M-momma?

Thrax: *growls* What do you want?

Jacqueline: I have come for my son. *points to Ozzy*

Ozzy: Mom... I told you.. I'm not going with you... I love you... I do... but I can't.

Marie: *crashes into the house* You. *growls at seeing Jacqueline*

Jacqueline: *turns to see Marie* Well, well long time no see. Rajin. *smirks*

Ozzy: G-grams? You know my mom?

Vic: *steps in behind her with a growl of his own* Step away from them.

Jacqueline: *sees Vic* Well looks as though you’ve managed to find yourself a male foolish enough to stay with you.

Marie: *growls* And it seems you’re still the bitch I knew long ago. *hisses and turns to Ozzy* Yes I know her all though sometimes I wish I didn't.

Vic: You don't deserve to be a mother! Now leave at once!

Jacqueline: *examines Vic* Hmmm. . . More muscle than brains. *turns to Marie* Just the man I expected you to marry.

Marie: *snarls at her*:

Vic: *growls deeply* At least she loves me for who I am... You seem incapable of loving your own son properly.

Jacqueline: *glares* I do love my son.

Thrax: *rolls his eyes* You have a funny way of showing it. *holds Ozzy close*

Ozzy: ... Then explain this! *holds up his arm and points at the bruises she left not too long ago, in the middle of them are half moon cuts from her nails* I love you mom.. I do... You're my mom... But... I really question if you care about me at all. I always have

Jacqueline: Of course I care for you, you’re my son.

Marie: *mutters* Tell that to the other kids you’ve had.

Jacqueline: *glares at her*

Ozzy: Then why don't you ever show it mother?

Jacqueline: After your father I guess trying to cope with him leaving blinded me.

Marie: *roll her eyes*

Ozzy: Yeah well... like that's an excuse... I tried so hard to please you mother... *tries to fight down the tears that start to well up in his eyes* But did you ever say "good job" or "thank you" or "I love you"? No... You only noticed if I messed up... and when I messed up for a time you stopped being my mother and you started being a monster... I was so scared of you...

Thrax: *gently rocks Ozzy then snarls at Jacqueline*

Jacqueline: *glares at him* Here what gives you the right to come in to my son's life?

Thrax: I have every right.

Ozzy: He loves me... and he's welcome...

Vic: What gives you the right to interfere? He may be your son but he's also an adult!

Jacqueline: *folds her arms and scoffs*:

Vic: And nothing gives you the right to abuse him...

Marie: Enough talk, if you don't leave I'll throw you out myself.

Jacqueline: *whispers to her* Bring it on bitch.

Marie: *lets out a warrior cry and pounces on her*

Vic: *doesn't even try to hold back his wife and is right next to her going for Jacqueline*

*both woman struggle, exchanging blows and kicks. Marie throws Jacqueline into the wall until Jacqueline kicks her right in the jaw*

Vic: *hisses and grabs her arms, pinning them behind her back*

Jacqueline: *winds him and charges at Marie*

Marie: *grabs her by the collar and throws her right through the window* And don’t you ever show your face round here again.

Jacqueline: *struggles to get up and limps away* This isn’t over.

Vic: *growls*

Marie: *watches her stagger away* Once a bitch always a bitch. *wipes her brow* Phew.

Ozzy: *once his mother is gone he sobs softly into Thrax's chest*

Thrax: *gently rocks him* It okay baby, it's okay. She's gone.

Marie: *whispers* For now.

Ozzy: *clings tightly to him, still crying softly*

Vic: *comes over and gently stroke's the cell's hair* Let's get that arm taken care of alright little one?

Thrax: *gently carries Ozzy to the kitchen, setting him on the table and takes out the first-aid kit* This may sting a little but it'll help. *lightly dabs the wounds with cleanser*

Ozzy: *nods and whimpers softly as he cleans them but he holds still except for when he brings his other hand up to rub his eyes*

Vic: *turns to Marie* Are you alright dearest?

Marie: *dust herself off* Yeah, I just didn't expect our Ozzy to be the child of that whore. *clenches her fists*

Vic: They're both very different aren't they?

Marie: *nods* My money's on he takes after his first father.

Thrax: *comes back in with Ozzy and sits on the couch*

Vic: *nods* I wonder why he didn't take his son with him when he left her.

Marie: *shrugs* She probably manipulated the system some how.

Vic: indeed... But he's safe now... and with people who love him.

Marie: Who truly love him. *kisses him and sits down next to Thrax*

Ozzy: *sniffles softly, cuddling with Thrax and looking up at Marie*

Marie: *strokes his hair* How are you feeling, little one?

Ozzy: *softly* Better. *voice stills oft, childlike* daddy?

Thrax: Yes angel?

Ozzy: *softly* Can I have a bottle of milk?

Marie: *silently giggles*

Thrax: *smiles* Of course angel. *gets to his feet, heading into the kitchen and heats up a bottle* That should do it. *heads back to the living room, sitting back down on the couch and slips the nipple between Ozzy lips*

Ozzy: *drinks the bottle down, cuddling him, he doesn't actually physically need the 'babying' at the moment however when he's distressed he tends to seek it out for comfort*

Thrax: *sets the empty bottle down and cuddles Ozzy close to him, purring*

Ozzy: *cuddles close, soothed by Thrax's purring* Mmmm... *snuggles, his trembling stopping*

Marie: *smiles at the two then turns to Vic* We should be on our guard in case she returns.

Vic: *nods, his voice soft so as not to disturb his grandson and son* I agree.

Marie: *sighs* Never thought I'd run in her again in this life time.

Vic: It's hard to believe that sweet little boy is her birth child.

Marie: *nods* But then again, it's hard to believe that she would even consider keeping a child.

Thrax: *slightly leans in on the conversation*

Vic: Much less try and force little Ozzy to return with her

Marie: *clenches her fists* I’ll make sure that never happens. *bites her lip to hold back the tears*

Vic: *wraps his arms around her and kisses her on the forehead*

Marie: *wipes her tears away* I'm sorry I just- *leans against him* I never I'd see her again after so many years.

Vic: *gently* don’t apologize... *kisses her forehead again* I'm right here ok? She might be right in that I'm not the brightest bulb on the shelf but... I love you... And I'm going to always be right here for my family.

Marie: *kisses him* Thank you, my love.

Ozzy: *sniffs softly, considerably calmer and cuddles into Thrax's chest, taking further comfort in his warmth*

Thrax: *holds Ozzy close to him then slightly smiles to his parents*

Marie: *gently nuzzles Vic then sits down next to Thrax*

Ozzy: *holds Marie's hand as he cuddles Thrax*

Marie: *massages Ozzy's hand softly then exchanges the same loving smile as Thrax*

Thrax: *whispers* Thank you both for helping us. Both of us. *kisses Ozzy*

Ozzy: *smiles softly and looks up at his family*

Thrax & Marie: *smiles towards him, their eyes showing a loving glow that they thought had been extinguished years before*

Ozzy: *reaches toward Marie's face*

Marie: *nuzzles his hand gently, purring*

Ozzy: *smiles and rests his head on Thrax's shoulder*

Thrax: *whispers* Hard to believe that this cell has brought us hope for the future.

Marie: *nods* And more.

Ozzy: Aww... *blushes* I can't do all that stuff...

Vic: *chuckles* Don't be so sure about that little one. *pats Ozzy's back*

Thrax & Marie: *both silently laugh*

Ozzy: *blushes a bit but smiles softly, tears in his eyes as he looks up at them.... he feels loved*

Marie: *leans on her hands, looking down at Ozzy with love but her hair slides a bit reveal an long old scar on her neck*

Ozzy: *tilts his head a little* Grammy? What happened here? *gently touches the scar*

Marie: *reaches back, running her fingers over the old wound and sighs* A reminder of my foolishness and my failure.

Ozzy: what do you mean?

Marie: *sighs* That she-demon gave me this scar long ago when we were young *turns to Vic* long before I met you, my love.

Vic: *frowns* What did she do? *gently strokes her hair*

Ozzy: *frowns* Momma did it?

Marie: Yes. You see the truth is I wasn’t originally a deadly virus. *sighs* I was actually an immunity virus back then.

Thrax: *stares at her* What?

Ozzy: *just stares, interested*

Marie: My family were specially bred to fight against deadly viruses and bacteria *sighs* but all that changed in the form of Jacqueline King. *growls*

Ozzy: What did she do?

Marie: *places her thumb and index finger on her forehead* She had always been a little whore, sleeping around with every cell, bacteria and virus *clenches her fists* even tried to get my own brothers.

Thrax: *looks sick*

Ozzy:*listens to the story, clinging to his father a little*

Marie: They refused her time and time again, but she wouldn't give up until one day I cornered her and threatened her to keep away from them. *looks towards Ozzy* She became angry and a fight broke us between us resulting in me getting this scar. *runs her fingers over it*

Ozzy: *softly* I’m sorry Grammy....

Marie: *strokes his cheek* It's not your fault sweetie. I'm actually surprised she kept you.

Ozzy: *nuzzles her hand a little* I love my momma but... *looks down* I'm afraid of her too...

Marie: *gives him a sympathetic look* I'm afraid she probably didn't truly love you, angel. *growls slightly* It had always been like that with the others.

Ozzy: *rubs his eyes a little and sniffles softly* When I was bad she had this big strap thing that she'd take down from the wall... I don't know if it was for anything else but... *clings to Thrax tightly*

Thrax: *cuddles him close, rubbing his back*

Marie: She hasn’t changed. *clenches her fists* She had always been like that even with her other children.

Thrax: *looks at her shocked*

Ozzy: *looks up at her*

Marie: *looks at Ozzy* I'm afraid you were never an only child Ozzy.

Ozzy: *looks up at her and then down after a moment, clinging to Thrax so tightly it might hurt were it not for the fact Thrax is a virus*

Thrax: *gently rocks Ozzy trying to calm him* You can not be serious mother.

Marie: I’m afraid I am. *her eyes become slits* She bore a few hybrids with all the males she slept around with never once caring that they were her children. After a while she either killed or abandoned them. *slams her fist into the armrest.* It made me sick every time.

Thrax: *pales at hearing this*

Ozzy: *softly* What do you think she wants to do with me?

Marie: *sighs* I don't know, angel. *strokes his face* I ended up with the killer reputation when I tried to stop her from hurting those kids and she screamed murderer at me.

Ozzy: And now you're my Grandmother.... must be fate. *hugs her*

Marie: *hugs him close* I promise you I won't screw up this time. *kisses his forehead*

Ozzy: I love you grams.

Marie: I love you to, little one. *purrs softly*

Thrax: Hey what am I? Chopped liver?

Ozzy: *chuckles* No... you're daddy. *hugs him*

Thrax: *chuckles* That's more like it. *hugs his son close to him*

Ozzy: *kisses him on the cheek and smiles, again calm*

Thrax: *purrs then turns to Marie* I now understand why you hate that woman so.

Marie: Hate isn't the word for it. Despise is.

Ozzy: *clings to Thrax a little*

Thrax: *gently bounces him* It's okay baby, she won't get you.

Marie: We'll make sure she doesn't. *flexes her claws*

Ozzy: *nods and clings tightly to them* Hey... daddy?

Thrax: *looks towards him* Yes angel?

Ozzy: *softly* can I sleep with you for a while?

Thrax: *rock him gently* Of course, baby. *kisses him*

Marie: *looks at the clock* Speaking of which I think Vic and I should head home. *gets to her feet*

Vic: *smiles softly* Yes. Call us if you need us ok son? *kisses Thrax on the cheek* We love you.

Thrax: *blushes* Okay, same here.

Marie: *kisses Ozzy* Goodnight, little one.

Ozzy: *softly* G'night Grams, G'night Gramps... Love you. *cuddles Thrax*

Marie: Love you to, little one. *walks out the door with Vic*

Ozzy: *cuddles close to Thrax and nuzzles, it's past bath time*

Thrax: *stands up* A quick wash then it's straight to bed for you. *carries Ozzy to the bathroom and turns on the water*

Ozzy: *nods, compliant and hugs him, he doesn't need to be carried physically but once more he allows it for emotional comfort, enjoying the feeling of being taken care of and loved*

Thrax: *sets Ozzy on the toilet seat and checks the water temperature* That should do it. *turns the water off then turns to Ozzy* Now no foolin' around okay? *heads out of the bathroom*

Ozzy: *nods* Yes sir. *while he's out he strips off his clothes and sets them in the hamper*

Thrax: *heads to the bedroom and removes his own clothes and folds them up* Frank, what a day. *runs his fingers through his dreads*

Ozzy: *waits, his hand playing with the water in the tub* *gets in the bath tub and washes up then lets the water run out as he stands up and reaches for a towel*

Thrax: *stretches his muscles* Dammit, my age is catching up with me.

Ozzy: *heads into Thrax's room and approaches him*

Thrax: *sits on the bed* Enjoy your bath, sweetie?

Ozzy: *nods* Yeah. *hugs him* You ok?

Thrax: *wraps his arms round him* Yeah, just a little shocked that's all.

Ozzy: Me too.

Thrax: I mean my own mother an immunity virus? There's a first.

Ozzy: Heh yeah.. I wouldn't have thought it...

Thrax: *nods* And it's because of your mother that she and our kind got our bad reputation.

Ozzy: *looks down* I can't believe I'm related to that...

Thrax: *lifts his head up* You are nothing like her, baby. *kisses him*

Ozzy: *gives him a kiss back and hugs him tightly*

Thrax: *holds him close, beginning to rock him gently*

Ozzy: *hugs him back, cuddling close*

Thrax: *begins to hum softly to his son while continuing to rock him*

Ozzy: *cuddles, starting to drift off* Daddy?

Thrax: Hmmm?

Ozzy: Will you sing to me?

Thrax: *smiles, taking a deep breath and begins to sing one of his lullabies*

Ozzy:* cuddles close, clinging to him as he closes his eyes and listens to the lullaby*

Thrax: *strokes Ozzy's hair as he continues to sing*

Ozzy: *drifts off to sleep, clinging tight to him*

Thrax: *lays Ozzy on the bed, climbing in next to him and pulls the covers round them.* Goodnight, my baby. *kisses Ozzy's forehead and drifts off to sleep*

*At Vic and Marie’s home*

Marie: *starts tossing in her sleep as she begins to have a nightmare*

*She hears a child cry and runs towards it only to see Jacqueline standing there, holding the limp body of a five year old cell in her hand* You monster. *changes at her but she dodges and slams Marie to the ground. Jacqueline laughs insanely and tosses the corpse on a pile of other bodies. Marie pales at the sight and becomes sick. She turns back to Jacqueline holding another young cell, one she recognises* Ozzy. . . *Jacqueline’s smile becomes more crooked as Ozzy cries out in sorrow trying to reach for Marie. Marie tries to stand but can’t and can only watch as Jacqueline squeezes the life out of Ozzy.* No. Nooooooo. . . .. *jolts awakes at that moment*

Vic: *sits bolt upright and hugs her close* Marie? Marie my love what is it?

Marie: *runs to the bathroom and throws up the contents of her stomach then wipes her mouth with back of her hand* Dammit.

Vic: *goes to her and rubs her back*

Marie: *places her head in her hand* Sorry, bad memories. Very bad. *swallows*

Vic: *softly* It was about her wasn't it?

Marie: *nods* Yes.

Vic: *gently* want to talk about it?

Marie: *sighs* I'm sorry I've kept that secret for so long, Vic.

Vic: *gently* It's alright Marie...

Marie: *looks at him* When we first met I was unsure that you would take an immunity virus as a lover so I lied about it, but *sighs* I guess I couldn't avoid the truth forever.

Vic: Marie.. *gently takes her under the chin with one of his claws* I love you alright? Immunity or otherwise...

Marie: *tears weld in her eyes* Thank you. *throws her arms round his neck*

Vic: *hugs her close to him and rubs her back* Oh Marie... *Nuzzles her, purring softly to her*

Marie: *nuzzles into his neck* I just don't wish to repeat what happened so long ago.

Vic: Neither do I... He's our little grandson Marie... We'll protect them both.

Marie: *whispers* Always.

Vic: *kisses her gently* Here... How about I give you a backrub?

Marie: *purrs* Been a while since I've had one.

Vic: *smiles* go on and lay down with your top off and get comfy. I'll rub your back till you fall asleep.

Marie: *silently giggle, removing her top as she walks to the bedroom and lays on her front*

Vic: *gets some massage oil and sits next to her, rubbing it between his hands to warm it before gently smoothing it on her back then starts to gently work his hands on her back, massaging*

Marie: Mmmm. *purrs*

Vic: *smiles and continues to gently massage her shoulders, moving up to the back of her neck too*

Marie: *arches her back, slightly flexing her claws in pleasure*

Vic: *smiles* Enjoying yourself love?

Marie: Very much.

Vic: *smiles and continues to massage her, purring to her*

Marie: *purrs back* Been a long time since we've done this.

Vic: *smiles* It has. *continues to rub her back* You're well overdue for some pampering

Marie: *smirks at him* Maybe but too often is too much for me.

Vic: *nods* I understand. *smiles*

Marie: *rests her head on arms*

Vic: *purrs to her and continues to massage her shoulders and back, adding more oil as needed*

Marie: *smiles softly as she begins to dose off slightly*

Vic: *smiles at her and continues to massage her, occasionally stroking her hair*

Marie: *slightly opens her eyes and sees the bedside clock* Might get a couple more hours. *pushes herself up and stretches her body.*

Vic: *smiles warmly as she drifts off and lays next to her, wrapping an arm around her and pulling her close, his voice a soft whisper* Sleep well love... *closes his eyes and soon follows her example and sleeps*
