Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp 41)

*Marie and Vic arrive a short time later, Marie knocks on the door*

Drix: *answers*

Marie: Good afternoon, Drix.

Drix: Afternoon. *moves aside* Please come in.

Marie and Vic enter the apartment.

Marie: Quaint place you have.

Drix: Thank you.

Marie: *sits down in one of the chair* So where are Thrax and Ozzy?

Drix: In the guest room.

Marie: How are they?

Drix: They seemed to be alright Thrax was playing with him out here and they went to the guest room to sleep for a bit. I haven't been in there since thy went though

Marie: I wouldn't wish to disturb them.

*Thrax walks in carrying Ozzy*

Thrax: *sees Marie and Vic* Oh good afternoon, Mother Father.

Ozzy: *is still asleep, one hand tightly gripping one of Thrax's as he sucks on the knuckle*

Marie: *smiles* Good afternoon, my son.

Vic: *smiles* how are you feeling?

Thrax: *smirks* Just glad to be out of that hospital. *takes a seat next to Marie*

Vic: I would imagine. How are you both holding up?

Thrax: *rubs Ozzy's back* I’m afraid Ozzy still shaken by the whole ordeal.

Vic: I would be too.

Marie: *nods* As am I.

Vic: *pats his arm lightly*Is he sucking on your hand?

Thrax: *chuckles* Let him father. It seems to comfort him.

Marie: *silently giggles*

Vic: *chuckles* It's quite cute:

Thrax: *motioned to Drix* Drix thinks so as well. *nuzzles Ozzy gently*

Drix: *chuckles* Well it is.

Ozzy: *continues to sleep, not having had another nightmare since sucking on Thrax's knuckle*

Marie: *softly strokes his hair* Poor little guy's worn out.

Vic: Indeed. how long has he been asleep

Thrax: Since we arrived here. *kisses Ozzy*

Vic: *nods* He needs the rest it would seem

Thrax: *nods* After what he's been through. *holds Ozzy close to his chest*

Ozzy: Mmm... *Thrax's hand is pulled form his mouth in the motion but he doesn't wake up, he only snuggles closer* daddy...

Thrax: *smiles and whispers* My sweet angel.

Drix: *finds the scene heart warming and smiles*

Marie: *chuckles, leaning her head back* Precious memories.

Ozzy: *nuzzles into his chest and seems to be starting to wake up*

Thrax: *nuzzles him* Hey there, angel.

Ozzy: *yawns softly* Mmm... daddy's here...

Thrax: *chuckles* Of course, sweetie. *kisses him* Daddy's always here.

Ozzy: *coos softly, snuggling* daddy...

Thrax: *softly purrs to him*

Marie: *smiles at her son and grand-son*

Ozzy: *looks up slowly* Gramma and Gramps are here?

Marie: We are, little one. *takes Ozzy's small hand into hers*

Ozzy: *holds her hand* Hi Gramma.

Marie: *chuckles* Hey, little one. *kisses him*

Ozzy: *nuzzles her cheek and coos softly*

Thrax: *smiles and gently sets Ozzy into Marie' arms*

Marie: *cradles Ozzy in her arms, cooing at him*

Ozzy: *smiles up at her and cuddles as long as he's in someone's arms he feels secure*

Thrax: *nods towards them then turns to Vic and Drix* Anything happen while we were in the hospital?

Drix: the officers that came to your home have been kicked off the force. The ones that shot you are all in jail.

Thrax: *sighs, shaking his head* They've gotten off too easy.

Drix: No argument there.

Marie: *nods giving off a low growl*

Thrax: They've endangered lives, broken rules and almost killed a fellow officer. *clenches his fist*

Drix: well... the ones that are out are out primarily on bail... none of them have any chance to be reinstated to the FPD.. there is some good news though... There has been a huge outcry that they are not being punished severely enough.

Thrax & Marie: *glare at him, their eyes glowing red with their teeth as fangs they scream* What kind of punishment is that? Is your justice system that weak?

Vic: *has a similar expression as Marie is also growling,*

Drix: I'm not saying that what they're doing is enough. I’m simply stating what has been happening with them.

Ozzy:*lets out a soft whimper at his father's and grandparents’ outbursts, hides his face in Marie's chest*

Drix: There's so much red tape in the judicial system.. *sighs* Leah is trying to get the mayor involved in this to get them punished... I mean really punished. She's outraged as well as are many citizens of Frank..

Thrax & Marie: *notices Ozzy discomfort, taking a deep breath to calm down*

Marie: *gently rocks Ozzy to calm him down as well*

Drix: Honestly if it were up to me I'd... *turns away* well...I don't think I should say in front of Ozzy, *his body trembling, rarely is he angry, but he's not one to explode, however he is enraged by what's happened and Ozzy...so innocent, he cannot contain the tears that stream down his face.*

Thrax & Marie: *both nod then looks towards Ozzy with fear for him*

Ozzy: *clings a little but seems calmer, looking up at them*

Thrax & Marie: *both gently nuzzle him* We're sorry for scaring you, angel.

Vic: *gently* Me too. *lightly pats his head*

Ozzy: *softly* It's ok. *smiles softly, kind of liking it when they speak in unison*

Thrax: *leans back, massaging his forehead* This is becoming too much.

Marie: *nods* Too much to handle.

Drix: Dinner should be ready soon. Perhaps we'll all be calmer after we eat... Thrax is there anything you want me to fix for Ozzy? *knowing the cell's stomach probably can't handle normal food at the moment*

Thrax: Soft and easy to chew for him, doesn't matter what it is Drix.

Drix: *and heads into the kitchen to do so*

Ozzy: *wraps his arms around both Thrax and Marie, nuzzling*

Thrax: *nestles Ozzy on his and Marie's laps, stroking the young cell's hair*

Ozzy: *coos softly again*

Drix: *when dinner's ready he brings it out to them, having made something separate for Ozzy, basically homemade baby food, not wanting to overload the boy's stomach*

Marie: *straightens Ozzy up and ties a bib round his neck* You'll feel better after you have something to eat, little one. *picks up the food for him and gives it a small stir before lifting it to his mouth*

Ozzy: *opens his mouth and eats the bite, Drix had made sure to warm it but made sure it wouldn't be too hot*

Marie: *smiles sweetly* Good boy. *continues feeding Ozzy*

Thrax: *smiles warmly at the two while eating his own*

Ozzy: *smiles softly and eats it, looking up at Drix as he joins them*

Vic: *chuckles*

Marie: *lightly chuckles allowing Ozzy to finish his food and wipes his mouth clear of the food*

Ozzy: *finishes eating and nuzzles her*

Marie: *takes him into her arms, hugging him close*

Thrax: *smiles at them, setting his cutlery down then wipes mouth* That was great Drix, thank you.

Drix: *smiles* thank you. I hoped you'd like it.

Thrax & Marie: *nods* Of course. It's was delicious.

Drix: *smiles* I'll have to remember that.

Thrax & Marie: *laugh lightly*

Thrax: *gets to his feet and fixes up warm formula for Ozzy* Should be enough. *checks the temperature, then sits back down lifting Ozzy on his lap*

Ozzy: *readily takes the bottle*

Thrax: *gently rubs Ozzy's side while feeding him the formula*

Ozzy: *cuddles him, soothed heavily by the bottle

Thrax: *allows Ozzy to finish it, setting the empty bottle down then lifts Ozzy to his shoulder before rubbing his back*

Ozzy: *cuddles quietly, closing his eyes, feeling soothed by Thrax's hand on his back*

Marie: *props her head on her hands as she watches the two, memories of her youth with Thrax rotating in her mind*

Vic: *chuckles, speaking in their native tongue* Remember when Thrax had an upset tummy...what we used to do to sooth him?

Marie: *replies in the same language* I remember. *sighs* Sometimes I wish I had those moments again but I to let those times go.

Thrax: *raises his brow at her*

Vic: *in their native tongue* You were such an adorable little baby Thrax... such tiny little cute claws.

Thrax: *blushes bright red, hisses in their native tongue* Father.

Marie: *chuckles* Well it's true.

Ozzy: daddy?

Thrax: *snaps out of his gaze* Yes angel?

Ozzy: Are gramma and grampa saying embarrassing things about you?

Thrax: They always do. *glares at the two*

Marie: Oh Thrax relax it normal for parents to do that.

Ozzy: I bet you're glad I can't understand a word they're saying huh?

Thrax: More like relieved. *sighs*

Ozzy: *giggles a little bit and cuddles him* That's ok... just think... you get to do that to me later....

Thrax: *chuckles* Guess I do. *kisses him*

Ozzy: *nuzzles him and then starts to squirm uncomfortably, usually a sign of a wet butt*

Thrax: *chuckles* C’mon, let's get you into a clean diaper. *takes Ozzy to the guest room and changes him into a dry diaper* There you go. *lifts him up, cuddling him close*

Ozzy: *rests his head on his shoulder*

Thrax: *heads back to the kitchen and sits down at the table, rubbing Ozzy's back*

Ozzy: *hugs him* daddy? Can I have a story?

Thrax: *sighs* I wish I could read to you sweetie, but the books we had were destroyed when our home was burned to the ground.

Ozzy: *looks shocked* They were? what... what happened?

Thrax: *sighs* Drix would you mind explaining to him.

Drix: *nods* most assuredly... *sits next to them and puts an arm around Ozzy, starting to explain to Ozzy what happened and exactly why he was in a coma for so long*

Thrax & Marie: *exchange weary looks*

Ozzy: *eyes widen as he listens to Drix, looking down, deep in thought. After a few minutes he tears up and buries his face in Thrax’s chest*

Thrax: *rubs his back* It’s okay baby, c’mon it’s okay.

Ozzy: *clings tightly to him and sniffles softly*

Marie: *sighs* This entire ordeal is getting to him.

Vic: Poor guy. . . I can’t blame him though. . .

Ozzy: *tightly clings to Thrax still wiggling slightly as he tries to get into his coat with him*

Thrax: *wraps his coat tightly round Ozzy, rubbing his back*

Ozzy: *sniffs* Daddy?

Thrax: Yes angel?

Ozzy: *softly* I’m glad you’re here. . . *clings to him*

Thrax: *hugs him close* So am I, baby. So am I.

Ozzy: *snuggles up closer and sobs softly into his chest*

Thrax: *gently bounces Ozzy in his arms trying to calm him*

Ozzy:*continues to cry into his chest, clinging but is slowly calming*

Marie: *rubs her hands nervously, biting her lip, with everything that has happened she's on the verge on a nervous breakdown*

Vic: *places his hand on her shoulders and rubs her arms, nuzzling her*

Marie: *leans against him, trying to keep herself together*

Vic: *continues to rub her arms and nuzzle her before wrapping his arms around her* It's going to be ok Marie.

Marie: *slowly nods, nuzzling him*

Thrax: *gives his mother a concerned look* Seems like I'm not the only who's been in hysterics lately.

Vic: Indeed Thrax. *hugs Marie close* But your mother will be alright.... This is a tough situation for us all.:

Thrax: *nods giving Ozzy a light nuzzle*

Vic: *kisses Marie on the forehead* My love... It's alright to let it out.

Marie: *nods starting to silently weeps into his shoulder*

Thrax: I just hope we can get this entire mess sorted.

Vic: As do I.

Ozzy: *sniffles, shaking, but isn't sobbing anymore*

Thrax: *slowly begins humming a lullaby to him, still rubbing his back*

Ozzy: *listens to the lullaby and calms down but continues to cling to him*

Marie: *listens to her son's humming and remembers back to when she had sang to him so long ago*

Vic: *purrs soothingly to her, nuzzling his wife*

Marie: *softly sighs, leaning against him*

Vic: *strokes her face*

Thrax: *continues humming to Ozzy and begins rocking him gently*

Ozzy: *wraps an arm around Thrax's shoulders, the other clinging to his shirt*

Thrax: *whispers* Rest, angel. *keeping rocking and humming to him*

Ozzy: *sniffs and nods, cuddling too tired and frightened to argue*

Thrax: *turns to Drix* We can't stay here for long. I'll have to try and find a place for us to live.

Marie: *mutters* Good luck.

Drix: *nods* Stay as long as you need to please. You're always welcome here. I'll help you if you want me to

Thrax: Thanks for the offer but I must decline. *sighs* It's going to be hard now that everyone knows we're here.

Drix: *nods* Alright

Marie: *lifts her head* So much for living in secrecy. *shakes her head* Don't think we'll get any peace now.

Drix: You never know.

Thrax: I'm afraid I have to agree with her. I don't think I can go back to my job now.

Drix: *sighs softly*

Marie: Sorry Drix but ever since the first attack on our family, we're finding it hard to trust the 'outside world'.

Drix: *nods* I understand... but if you ever need anything please tell me ok? I don't know how much I can promise other than I will do all in my power to help

Thrax & Marie: Thank you.

Drix: *nods*

Ozzy: *reaches one of his hands from under Thrax's shirt*

Drix: *comes over and holds Ozzy's hand*

Thrax: *gently nuzzles Ozzy* Our lives are probably going to be a living hell now.

Marie: That's putting it mildly. *flops her head back*

Vic: *nuzzles her forehead* We'll get through this.

Marie: *scoffs* After what we've been through, no way in hell. *crosses her legs, her shirt lifts slightly showing a fresh wound on her side*

Vic: Marie.. *gently lifts the shirt more*

Marie: *slaps his hand away* It's just a scratch, Vic. No need to make a big deal out of it.

Vic: That looks like more than just a scratch Marie.

Marie: *shoves him aside getting to her feet and walks outside taking out cigarette*

Thrax: Oh no not again. *shakes his head*

Vic: I'll follow her.

Thrax: Careful father, she not in her right mind at the minute.

Vic: *nods* I know.

Thrax: *sighs* Every time something bad happens she always become weary and untrustworthy to others.

Drix: *nods*

Vic: *follows her* Marie.

Marie: *drags the cigarettes, taking after the other as her hand shake uncontrollably*

Vic: *lays a hand on her shoulder and rubs her back*

Marie: *mutters* Every time we get peace it's always destroyed. We never meant to be happy.

Vic: *gently* we don't know that this will permanently destroy it... please love.. give it time.

Marie: *taking out another cigarette continuing to mutter* Can never be happy. Viruses never suppose to be happy. *inhales the cig*

Vic: *gently* Marie... please... put that away.

Marie: *doesn't hear him, continues to mutter shakenly*

Vic: *continues to rub her back*

Thrax: *over hears her muttering* Poor mother, ever since Jacqueline screamed murderer at her she sometimes goes at the end of her rope when tragedy strikes.

Ozzy: *softly* Will she be ok?

Thrax: In time but these episodes of hers are really messing with her mind.

Ozzy: *clings to his shirt, finding it difficult to continue loving his mother after what happened before and what is going on with his grandmother... and feeling horrible for thinking this way*

Thrax: *sighs* Our family has gone through nothing but pain since they were falsely accused years before and it's no different now maybe we should just give up.

Ozzy: no.

Thrax: *looks towards him confused*

Ozzy: *looks up at him* No.

Thrax: *nuzzles him* I'm afraid so sweetie. It's because of us that you got hurt in the first place.

Ozzy: But if you give up...what will happen?

Thrax: *looks away from him* We get what was coming to us.

Ozzy: *softly* Daddy.

Thrax: *holds him close, softly sobbing*

Ozzy: *hugs him* Daddy... *nuzzles*

Drix: *places his hand on Thrax's shoulder*

Thrax: *sobs* I don't wish for you to suffer because of us, my child.

Drix: *moved by the display continues to rub Thrax's back*

Thrax: *bites down on his lip trying to holds back the tears*

Ozzy: *nuzzles him* daddy... Please don't cry. *hugs him tighter* Don't be sad..

Thrax: *holds Ozzy close him as his old memories resurface of the attack*

Ozzy: *nuzzles him, sniffing*

Thrax: *gently nuzzles Ozzy then looks up at Drix* This can't go on anymore. It just can't.

Drix: *softly* Please try to keep faith.

Thrax: Faith? Ha the only faith I have is Ozzy. *nuzzles him*

Marie: *runs past them into the bathroom and throws up her stomach contents*

Vic: *follows her and rubs her back, holding her hair out of her face*

Marie: *coughs* Oh Frank. *placing her hand over her mouth.*

Vic: *gets a washrag and wipes her mouth*

Thrax: *sticks his head in* Is she alright?

Vic: Yes and no. *strokes Marie's hair*

Thrax: *sighs* Like we've gone through enough damage already.

Vic: I agree.. *sighs softly*

Thrax: *goes back to the living room and sits down on the couch.*

Ozzy: *holds his hand*

Thrax: *softly nuzzles him* I don't what we're going to do.

Marie: *comes out holding her head and sits down next to Thrax*

Ozzy: *reaches for Marie*

Marie: *gently takes him in her arms, nuzzling him*

Ozzy: *nuzzles her back sniffling softly* Please don't give up... please?

Marie: I just don't know what we're going to do. Our whole world is falling apart.

Ozzy: *softly* Mine too... but...*softly* it's fallen apart before... and then a new one was built

Marie: *tears form in her eyes as she kisses Ozzy on the forehead* Thank you, little one.

Ozzy: *softly nuzzles her* I love you.

Marie: Me too, little one.

Thrax: *looks towards the clock* It's getting rather late.

Marie: *nods* I think Vic and I should leave. *hands Ozzy back to Thrax*

Ozzy: Will you come back?

Marie: *strokes his head* We'll try, little one. *kisses his forehead and stands up* Vic! We have to go.

Vic: Are you alright?

Marie: I'm fine, Vic. Relax. *leads him out* We'll see you around Thrax.

Thrax: Goodbye, you two.

Vic: *wraps his arm around her* Goodnight Thrax, Ozzy. Love you two.

Thrax: *watches the two leave and turns to Ozzy* I think it's bedtime for you Ozzy.

Ozzy: *nods a little* Yes daddy.

Thrax: *gently rubs Ozzy stomach and walks into the bedroom* Goodnight Drix.

Drix: Goodnight Thrax. Night Ozzy.

Ozzy: Nite Drix.:

Thrax: *lowers the rails and settles Ozzy under the covers before pulling the rails back up* It's not much but it'll have to do. *strokes Ozzy's hair and begins sings softly to Ozzy*

Ozzy: *reaches out and takes hold of his hand, closing his eyes as he listens to him singing*

Thrax: *gently squeezes his hand continuing to sing to his son*

Ozzy: *sucks his thumb, his other hand held tightly to Thrax's*

Thrax: *smiles softly, kissing him* Sweet dreams, my baby boy. *gently massages his hand*
