Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp 65)

*Ozzy is a little late getting home*

Thrax: *finishes setting the table for dinner* Welcome home, angel.

Ozzy: Hey there! *smiles and kisses him on the cheek* Sorry I’m late.

Thrax: *smiles at him* Just hope you didn't get into trouble today.

Ozzy: *chuckles* Well... maybe I was a little naughty

Thrax: *sighs and rolls his eyes* What did you do?

Ozzy: *holds up a cloth bag and hands it to him*

Thrax: *raises his brow taking the bag and looks inside*

*inside the bag are a number of toys*

Thrax: *looks up at him confused* What in the name of Frank?

Ozzy: *rubs the back of his head* passed a toy store on the way home.

Thrax: *chuckles* For Northstar or you?

Ozzy: *chuckles* For her.

Thrax: *wraps his arm round Ozzy* Glad to see you're thinking of her.

Ozzy: *hugs him back* Well I figure since she's gonna be here for a while... *smiles*

Thrax: *smiles and nods* Speak of who- *heads upstairs and goes to Northstar's room* Northstar, dinner is ready.

Northstar: *approaches him and reaches for his hand*

Thrax: *gently takes her hand* Pasta Carbonara okay for you?

Northstar: Carbonana?

Thrax: I know you're a vegetarian so I thought maybe making something you'd like.

Northstar: *looks interested as she goes downstairs with him*

Thrax: *leads back down to the kitchen and sits down at the table* Eat up you two. *takes a bite of a small sandwich*

Ozzy: *starts to eat* Hmmm.. that's interesting.

Northstar: *nibbles on it*

Thrax: *shrugs* With Northstar living with us I thought of trying some new recipes.

Northstar: *eats the dinner, fortunately she rarely has to be told to eat her veggies, after all veggies and fruit are all she can have*

Thrax: *finishes of his food and water, wiping his mouth* Northstar, I've been meaning to ask you something.

Northstar: Uh huh? *mouth full*

Thrax: *takes a deep breath* Do you still wish to return home?

Northstar: *looks at her plate and swallows her mouthful then bites her lower lip*

Thrax: Because if you wish to stay here with us, it's your choice.

Northstar: *softly* I don't want daddy to hit me anymore...

Thrax: *gets up a kneels in front of her* Believe me honey, I don't wish for you to go back to that monster. He is not your father if he treats you like that.

Northstar: *sniffles softly and rubs her eyes* What would you do if you were my daddy?

Ozzy: *chuckles* Well.., one thing's for sure you'd forget what it feels like to be love starved...

Thrax: *lifts her chin* I would love you and care for you, honey. *motions to Ozzy* Just like I do with Ozzy.

Ozzy: and hey if it will influence your decision any... It would be pretty cool to have a little sister...

Northstar: *looks between the cell and the virus*

Thrax: *strokes her cheek* It's your decision, honey.

Northstar: *reaches for Thrax*

Thrax: *lifts her up and holds her close*

Northstar: *clings to him tightly and nods a little*

Thrax: *rubs her back* When you wish to say, just tell us. Okay?

Northstar: *softly*Yes.

Thrax: Yes to what?

Northstar: I wanna stay

Thrax: *kisses her forehead* Don't worry. You'll learn to like this world, *whispers* my daughter.

Northstar: *nuzzles into his chest*

Ozzy: *smiles and leans down, kissing Northstar on top of the head*

Thrax: *strokes the back of Northstar's head then turns to Ozzy* You don't mind doing the dishes tonight?

Ozzy: Nah! *smiles* I can do em up.

Thrax: Just try not to break them. *carries Northstar to the living room and sits down on the couch with her on his lap*

Ozzy: *goes and washes up the dishes*

Thrax: *nuzzles Northstar as he whispers in her ear* This will be your home now, honey.

Northstar: *sucks her thumb and looks up at him*

Thrax: *strokes her face* I promise I'll take care of you.

NS: Promise?

Thrax: I promise, honey. *kisses her forehead*

Northstar: *nuzzles him a little and sniffles softly*

Thrax: Believe me I'd never let any harm come to my children.

Northstar: *looks into his yellow eyes*

Thrax: I'm devoted to my children and I would do anything to protect them.

Northstar: *takes hold of his hand curiously*

Thrax: *massages her hand in his*

Northstar: *touches the backs of his claws though she doesn’t' go near the sharp tips*

Thrax: *kisses her forehead again and for a sec it's almost like he was looking at Aida*

Northstar: Can I have some more to eat?

Thrax: *smiles* What would you like?

Northstar: some milk?

Thrax: *nods, smiling* Of course. *sets her on the couch then heads to the kitchen and returns with a glass of milk* Here you go. *hands it to her*

Northstar: *drinks the milk and lets out a soft coo*

Thrax: *sits next to her and wraps his arms round her*

NS: *finishes the milk and sits in his lap, cuddling under his coat*

Thrax: *smiles, stroking her hair* Your safe now, my little jewel.

Northstar: *sucks her thumb and rests her head on his chest*

Thrax: *softly begins singing 'You'll Be In My Heart'*

Northstar: *hugs him *

Thrax: *strokes her hair as he continues the tune*

Northstar: *cuddles close*

Thrax: *finishes the tune* /I'll be there. Always./

Northstar: *nuzzles up under his neck, cooing quietly*

Thrax: *softly coos back to her, nuzzling her nose*

Northstar: *continues to coo, drifting off*

Thrax: *smiles softly, getting to his feet and carries Northstar to her room*

Northstar: *clings to the collar of his shirt with one hand as she sucks her thumb*

Thrax: *gently lays her on the bed, pulling the covers round her face and kisses her forehead* Rest now, my little jewel.

Ozzy: *comes into the room, hands still slightly damp from washing the dishes*

Thrax: *turns to him smiling* She made her decision.

Ozzy: *noting his smile* Is she staying?

Thrax: Yes my son, she is.

Ozzy: *is like "YES!!!" and hugs him*

Thrax: *keeps his balance as Ozzy hugs him and returns it* *chuckles* Looks like you have a little sister now, baby.

Ozzy: *smiles, nodding*

Thrax: *nuzzles him* C'mon let her sleep. *leads Ozzy out of the room*

Ozzy: *nods and walks out of the room with him*Course now I get to do obligatory big brother stuff

Thrax: *laughs heartily* Yes but no teasing her.

Ozzy: not yet anyway. *chuckles*

Thrax: *ruffles his hair* When she is ready we'll introduce her to the rest of the clan.

Ozzy: *smiles* She has a big family to get to know.

Thrax: *laughs* No kidding most of them being Ric's family and your half-siblings and their families.

Ozzy: *nods and smiles*

Thrax: *hugs Ozzy and nuzzles him* Our family just keeps getting bigger.

Ozzy: that's a good thing I think.

Thrax: *raises his brow at him*

Ozzy: *smiles*

Thrax: *nuzzles him* Let's just hope we don't get anymore trouble and don't tell anyone about her yet until the time is right.

Ozzy: *nods* Gotcha

Thrax: Good boy.

Ozzy: *nuzzles*

Thrax: *nuzzles him back* Well. . . what do you want to do for the rest of the evening?

Ozzy: Dunno.

Thrax: *thinks* Hmm. . . hey Ozzy how's your fighting style?

Ozzy: *grins* wanna spar?

Thrax: *takes off his coat and turtleneck* Think you can keep up? *grins at Ozzy and heads to the backyard*

Ozzy: Funny... I was just gonna ask you that.

Thrax: *smirks* We'll see. *shift himself into a fighting pose*

Ozzy: *does the same, grinning at him.

Thrax: Giving me all you've got, my boy. *gestures him to attack*

Ozzy: *grins and attacks, his first strike being a high one*

Thrax: *easily blocks it, smirking*

Ozzy: *makes another strikes a bit lower*

Thrax: *blocks the attack* I said give it your all.

Ozzy: You really want me to do that? *grins*

Thrax: *grins* Show me what you've got.

Ozzy: *grins and morphs a bit as he moves to the side and makes another high strike*

Thrax: *rolls his eyes and blocks the attack, again* Give me a break.

Ozzy: *smirks and continues to strike at him, at one point morphing to move behind him*

Thrax: *quickly grabs Ozzy by the arm and throws him across the garden*

Ozzy: Whoa! *angles himself to land on all fours* ha! *springs forward again to tackle him*

Thrax: *sighs and steps asides, a second before Ozzy could reach him*

Ozzy: *GLOMP*

Thrax: *rolls his eyes* Ozzy this is serious. *grabs Ozzy by the scruff of his neck and tosses him aside with ease* *tosses his dreads back* Now no more messing around.

Ozzy: *nods and gets more serious about it*

Thrax: *positions himself* Let's go.

Ozzy: *makes the next blow

Thrax: *continues to block* Give me a break. *delivers a swift kick and knocks Ozzy onto the ground* The academy taught you better than that, I hope.

Ozzy: yep they did. *pulls out the stops*

Thrax: Then no holding back. *delivers a strike*

Ozzy: *pulls out the stops and attacks fully*

Thrax: *blocks the attacks each time*

Ozzy: *crouches and sweeps at his feet*

Thrax: *back flips and lands on his feet with a scoff*

Ozzy: *takes the opportunity while he's back flipping to tackle him*

Thrax: *twists his back into an odd angle and throws Ozzy over his head*

Ozzy: *lands on his feet. Nice move! *pounce*

Thrax: *dodges Ozzy*

Ozzy: strikes low*

Thrax: *still dodges the attacks, yawning* C'mon Ozzy where spunky cell I fought on Shane's eye?

Ozzy: right here. *goes for a strike about shoulder height*

Thrax: *block the attack again*

Ozzy: *aims the next blow for Thrax's side, striking*

Thrax: *winces as the strike hits it's target* Good move, Keep it up.

Ozzy: *his next strike sis actually with his elbow*

Thrax: *dodges it* Keep your strikes straight, Ozzy.

Ozzy: *nods and the next one is straighter*

Thrax: *leans back avoiding it* Remember your need strength, speed and agility when you fight. Just relying on one causes flares. *swipes at Ozzy*

Ozzy: *dodges , morphing a bit and tackles him*

Thrax: *falls back on the ground catches himself with one hand* *chuckles* You're getting better. *jumps back onto his feet*

Ozzy: *chuckles as well * Thanks.

Thrax: *dusts himself off* I think that will be enough for the day. *notices it's getting late*

Ozzy: *nods, wiping his brow* Yeah I hear that.

Thrax: *chuckles lightly and heads into the house to take a shower* *sticks head out the door* You coming or not Ozzy?

Ozzy: Yep. *heads in and chuckles* I need a shower.

Thrax: *wipes his brow* We both do after that workout.

Ozzy: Yep

Thrax: You go ahead Ozzy, I need to get a drink. *heads to the kitchen*

Ozzy: alright. *kisses him on the cheek before heading into the shower*

Thrax: *fills a large glass before drinking it* Man I needed that.

Ozzy: *has a long shower then comes downstairs for something to drink.

Thrax: *has already poured him a tall glass of water* See you in a few minutes. *heads upstairs for long soak*

Ozzy: *smiles as he drinks the water* Thanks dad.

Thrax: *calls back* Anytime. *returns half an hour later wearing his black robe, water still dripping from his dreads*

Ozzy:* smiles* nice shower?

Thrax: *nods* I really needed it.

Ozzy: I bet. *munching on some cheese and crackers.. a very light snack*

Thrax: *takes another glass of water* We should probably turn in soon, it's getting late.

Ozzy: Aww already. *looks at the time*

Thrax: Yes now. Look Ozzy I haven't been getting much sleep lately and I'm looking forward to a good long sleep.

Ozzy: *nods and kisses him on the cheek*

Thrax: *smiles* C'mon then. *leads Ozzy to his room*

Ozzy: *goes with him* I haven’t told Drix about her yet by the way.

Thrax: Good. We need to wait until the time is right. We don't wish to scare her.

Ozzy: *nods and gets into the bed*

Thrax: *pulls the covers round Ozzy's face, stroking his hair and kisses his forehead* Goodnight, baby.

Ozzy: *smiles* Nite daddy. *cuddles up t him and closes his eyes, arms wrapping around his adoptive father*

Thrax: *tries to sleep but familiar nightmares rotate through his mind, waking him at midnight* -Not again.- *gently slips away from Ozzy then heads to the kitchen and stays there until morning*

*there's some movement in the house about two am*

Thrax: Huh? *gets up looks around*

Northstar: *is in the hallway, clutching a pillow with one hand and her thumb in her mouth*

Thrax: Northstar? Honey, what's wrong? *lifts her into his arms*

Northstar: *sniffles into his chest, as he picks her up if he puts his and under her pj bottoms are wet*

Thrax: *nods, nuzzling her* It's okay honey. It's wasn't your fault. *carries her back to her room, dressing her in clean PJs before removing the stained sheets and clothes and throws them in the wash basket.* *replaces the sheets then lifts Northstar into his arms and sits on the bed with her on his lap*

Northstar: *sniffles softly into his shoulder and sucks her thumb* M'sorry...

Thrax: *strokes her hair* It was an accident honey, it's not your fault.

Northstar: *sniffles* I'm tired...

Thrax: *lays her on the bed and pulls the covers round her face* Rest now, my little jewel. *kisses her forehead*

Northstar: *sniffles and cuddles the blanket she'd been carrying

Thrax: *sits in the chair next to her bed, holding her hand as the night draws on*
