Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp 66)

*Morning*

Ozzy: *gets up and stretches, looking for Thrax... after a quick run to the potty

Thrax: *has been cooking in the kitchen for the last half hour and finishes setting the table.*

Ozzy: *walks over to him.* had trouble sleeping again?

Thrax: *sighs* Yeah. *fills up a large mug of coffee*

Ozzy: *sits next to him and kisses his cheek*

Thrax: *kisses him back and takes a long swallow of coffee*

Ozzy: *kisses him on the cheek again and has some coffee as well*

Thrax: *runs his fingers through his dreads* I don't know what I'm going to do if I keep having these nightmares.

Ozzy: Have you talked to Grammy?

Thrax: *shakes his head* I've tried but she in the same state I am.

Ozzy: ... that sucks... I wish I could be of help.

Thrax: *places his head in his hands* I don't there's anything you could do, sweetie.

Ozzy: *hugs him*

Thrax: *returns it* I'll be alright, you don't have to worry.

Ozzy: I hope so

Thrax: *taps Ozzy's nose* I will, baby.

Ozzy: *kisses him on the forehead*

Thrax: *nuzzles him* Now eat your breakfast, I'll see if Northstar is up. *gets up and heads to her room*

Northstar: *still fast asleep

Thrax: *sits on the edge of the bed and strokes her face* Northstar? Honey it's time to get up.

Northstar: *yawns a little and rolls over'

Thrax: *gives her a gentle shake*

Northstar: *stirs and rubs her eyes, yawning*

Thrax: *smiles* Morning, my little jewel. *kisses her forehead*

Northstar: *yawns a little and sits up*

Thrax: *strokes her face* Did you sleep okay?

Northstar: I think so.

Thrax: *strokes her hair* You hungry?

Northstar: *nods* uh huh

Thrax: Scrambled eggs and toast okay for you? *offers his hand*

Northstar: *nods* Uh huh... can I have cheese on it?

Thrax: *chuckles* You sure love cheese don't you?

Northstar: Uh huh!

Thrax: *lifts her up* C'mon then. *carries her down to the kitchen*

Northstar: *hugs him around the neck*

Thrax: *strokes her hair and sets her down at the table before taking his seat and pours himself another mug of coffee*

Northstar: can I have some? *reaches for the coffee

Thrax: I don't know if you'll like it but you can try. *pours a little bit into a small cup for her* Would you like sugar or cream?

Northstar: *nods* uh huh.

Thrax: *adds some cream and sugar to the cup and heads it to her*

Northstar: *drinks it*

Thrax: *drinks his, the hot liquid washing down his throat* *massages his eyes as redness in them becomes darker*

Northstar: Are you ok?

Thrax: Just haven't been sleeping well that's all.

Northstar: Why?

Thrax: Nightmares but they're actually bad memories and fears.

Northstar: Is that what nightmares are?

Thrax: To me, yes.

Northstar: Oh..

Thrax: *drinks the last of his coffee and places his head in his hands*

Northstar: *nuzzles a lil*

Thrax: *looks towards his children* I don't know what I'm going to do, they're just getting worse.

Northstar: How come?

Thrax: No matter how much I try to suppress them they keep coming back even when the threat is gone.

Northstar: are you scared it'll come back?

Thrax: Despite all that has happened I gone through too much pain and sorrow for it to fade.

Northstar: *looks at him*

Thrax: Even though the City knows and the cause has been eliminated there are still those that frown upon my family.

Northstar: Oh.. *pokes at her eggs al il*

Thrax: *places his hand over his mouth and runs to the bathroom*

Northstar: *jumps a little and is held back gently by Ozzy*

Thrax: *throws up what was in his stomach and groans holding his head*

Ozzy: Finish your breakfast lil bit. *goes to check on Thrax* dad?

Thrax: *curse in a mixture of Spanish and his native tongue*

Ozzy: *kneels next to him and rubs his back*

Thrax: *continues throwing up, his face beginning to pale*

Ozzy: whoa.. easy ... easy you have to calm down

Thrax: *starts shakening, his mouth beginning to foam*

Ozzy: *frowns and takes out his cell phone, calling Marie immediately*

Marie: H-he-ello? *she sound like was having the same problems as Thrax*

Ozzy: G-grams? Are you ok? Something's wrong with dad.

Marie: I know. *suddenly drops the phone, running the bathroom*

Ozzy: *swears softly and looks at Thrax*

Thrax: *struggles getting on his feet, leaning against the wall* Hell. *groans*

Ozzy: *looks at him, worried*

Thrax: *staggers out of the bathroom and heads to the living room, collapsing on the couch*

Ozzy: I'm gonna call Doug'

Thrax: *holds his hand up* Don't, I'm sure it'll pass.

Ozzy: Your mom's in pain too.

Thrax: *breathes ragged* Remember we both share a connection so of course she in pain as well.

Ozzy: I'm still calling Doug... *dialling already, worried*

Thrax: *snatches the phone away from Ozzy and cancels the call* Look Ozzy it's nothing for you to worry about we'll be fine.

Ozzy: *gives him a worried look*

Thrax: Trust me Ozzy, I’ve gone through worse and can overcome it.

Ozzy: *softly* j... just please... get better soon ok? Please... *looks into his eyes*

Thrax: *kisses his forehead* I will baby I promise.

Ozzy: nuzzles him*

Thrax: *nuzzles him back and goes back to the kitchen to clean up*

Northstar: *glomps his legs*

Thrax: *looks down at her smiling* Enjoy your breakfast, honey?

Northstar: *looks up at him, apparently having been worried too

Thrax: *strokes her hair* There's no need to worry, honey.

Northstar: *sucks her thumb*

Thrax: *smiles and continues cleaning up the kitchen*

Ozzy helps*

Thrax: You have work today Ozzy? *sets the dishes away*

Ozzy: *nods* Yeah.

Thrax: Then I suggest you get ready, they'll think I'm going easy on you if you're late.

Ozzy: Heh yeah... You'll be ok?

Thrax: *waves his hand* I'll be fine Ozzy, it's nothing to worry about.

Ozzy: Alright. *kisses him on the cheek* You take care ok. Love you.

Thrax: *nuzzles him* Love you too, baby.

Ozzy: *starts to get ready *

Northstar: *takes hold of his hand* me too. *holds her arms up for a hug*

Thrax: *softly chuckles, scooping her up into his arms and holds her close* And you know I love you both. *kisses her forehead*

Northstar: *nuzzles him a little*

Ozzy: *smiles and rubs her head* See you guys later

Thrax: Remember Ozzy: you're late, you're grounded and if you endanger yourself and/or others you know what's coming.

Ozzy: *nods* Yes sir. I'll be good .

Thrax: *nods, smiling* Good boy.

Ozzy: *smiles at him and heads to work*

Thrax: *shakes his head as he watches Ozzy leave* He may be trouble but he's worth it.

Northstar: *looks up at him* Are you ok?

Thrax: *kisses her cheek* I'm fine, this is normal for me.

Northstar: Being sick?

Thrax: After my nightmares, the scenes in them always make me sick as well as the memories.

Northstar: Oh... *nuzzles a little* Do you need a doctor?

Thrax: *shakes his head* No, I'm sure it'll pass.

NS: *nuzzles a little* Ok.

Thrax: *nuzzles her the lifts her chin* I'm suppose to worry about you two not the other way round.

Northstar: *smiles at him and kisses him on the cheek*

Thrax: *smiles back* Now the only question is: what to do today?

Northstar: Can we go play?

Thrax: In the back garden or would you like to go some where else?

Northstar: *nods* Uh huh.

Thrax: Where do you wish to go?

Northstar: Is there a park?

Thrax: There's one just few blocks away from here. C'mon let's get ready. *carries her to her room*

Northstar: *goes to pick out some clothes to get dressed*

Thrax: *turns away as she dresses* I brought you some new clothes when I went shopping. Hope they're alright.

Northstar: They are. *finishes putting on her pants and shirt*

Thrax: *softly smiles then goes to grab his jacket on* I just hope no one asks any questions if they see us. *straightens his trench coat and goes back to Northstar's room*

Northstar: *comes out of her room, all dressed and ready to go

Thrax: Let's go then. *offers his hand to her*

Northstar: *takes it and looks up at him perkily.

Thrax: *leaves their home, locking the door before taking her to the park*

Northstar: *holds his hand on the way*

Thrax: *kneels in front of Northstar when they arrive* Now I want you be careful okay and come get me if there's trouble.

Northstar: ok. *hugs him around the shoulders and goes to play*

Thrax: *smiles, taking a seat on the bench near by to keep an eye on his daughter*

Northstar: *goes directly for the swings*

Thrax: *whispers* Glad to see she's finally happy. *keeps a close watch on her as leans his body against the bench*

Northstar: *gravitates toward a few particular bits of play equipment but the swings seem to be her favourite*

Thrax: *softly as he watches Northstar playing bit soon tenses up as he notices the cells staring*

Northstar: *is blissfully unaware of the stares and continues to play*

Thrax: *ears twitch as he hears what they are saying about them and a low growl comes from his throat as a warning to them*

*the cells back off slightly at Thrax's growl and whisper to each about not making him mad*

Northstar: *starts to climb the ladder to the slide*

Thrax: *turns back to his daughter's direction and smiles at her* At least she's having fun.

Northstar: Daddy come catch me! *sitting on top of the slide*

Thrax: *shocked at what she called him but smiles as he makes his way over to her*

Northstar *slides down as soon as he's over there*

Thrax: *catches her and lifts her into the air, smiling*

NS: *lets out a giggle though clings onto his arms, he's taller than Ozzy and heights scare her*

Thrax: *gently hugs her close, sensing her fear* It's okay there nothing to be afraid of. *kisses her forehead*

Northstar: How come you're wearing a jacket. Are you cold?

Thrax: *chuckles* No sweetie, this just makes me look tougher but it can also help me glide.

Northstar: You can fly?

Thrax: It's gliding than flying really.

Northstar: How doe sit help you glide?

Thrax: *stretches out part of his trench coat like a wing* As you can see when stretched it can catch the wind or a draft that can help me glide.

Northstar: *reaches up and touches it a little*

Thrax: *brings it round and wraps it around Northstar*

Northstar: *coos a little and cuddles close*

Thrax: *strokes her hair, purring softly*

Northstar: *sucks her thumb*

Thrax: *smiles at her, sitting back on the bench*

Northstar: *tummy rumbles*

Thrax: *chuckles* Guess we better head home for lunch. *gets to his feet and leads Northstar back home*

Northstar: *holds his hand on the way home*

Thrax: *heads into the kitchen when they arrive* Mac n' cheese okay for you, honey?

Northstar: Uh huh! *like most kids, Mac and cheese is almost a gourmet meal to her*

Thrax: *smiles and begins cooking for her.*

Northstar: *hops up onto the counter*

Thrax: *sets her lunch on the table with a glass of milk and some water for himself* Lunch is ready, honey. *takes a seat at the table*

Northstar: *sits next to him and munches on her lunch, drinking her milk*

Thrax: *takes a few slips of water as he watches her*

Northstar: *drinks her milk*

Thrax: *leans back on the chair* You don't have to worry about what this City says of you, it takes them a while to accept a new being.

Northstar: Were they saying stuff?

Thrax: *nods* Someone with your appearance would seem strange to them but they'll get over it.

Northstar: Oh. *finishes her lunch and gets into his lap*

Thrax: *holds her close* Let them talk, we never listen to that kind of thing.

Northstar: *nods* can we play in the garden some?

Thrax: *strokes her cheek* Go ahead sweetie but stay close.

Northstar: *nods and goes outside*

Thrax: *clean up the kitchen then grabs a book off the shelf and follows her outside, taking a seat on the deck chair*

Northstar: *ducks into the bushes and giggles as she plays a game*

Thrax: *lightly chuckles as she plays, his ears alert in cause of any intruders*

Northstar: *Comes out of a bush following a lil bug*

Thrax: *looks towards her* Northstar remember what I said about things are not as they seems in this body.

Northstar: *looks up at him* I remember.

Thrax: *flexes his claws slightly and goes back to his reading*

Northstar: *still seems pretty fascinated by the bug*

Thrax: *despite having his nose in the book, keeps on high alert for any trespassers*

Northstar: * brings him a little lizard like creature* Look what I found! ^_^

Thrax: *raises a brow at the small lizard* Where did you find that?

Northstar: Over there. *points to a bucket* isn't he cute.

Thrax: *gives a sceptical look* Cute isn't the world I'm lookin' for.

Northstar: *picks up the lil critter and actually kisses it on the head*

Thrax: *cringes as she does this and shudders*

Northstar: *seems oblivious and happily cuddles the creature*

Thrax: *sighs*, shaking his head* Don't think you're keep him, Northstar.

Northstar: Can I come visit him when I come to play? His house is over there. *Points to the bush*

Thrax: Just don't bring him into the house and making sure to wash your hands after handling him.

Northstar: Ok. *gets into his lap, lizard and all, and lets the creature walk on her hands while she coos to it and pets it and tells it how cute it is*

Thrax: *shudders slightly at the creature but wraps his arms round Northstar*

Northstar: *after holding the creature for a little while* I think he wants to go back to his house.

Thrax: *lifts Northstar off his lap* Then bring him to his home, honey.

Northstar: *heads to the bushes and lets the creature go by allowing it to crawl on the branch before going back to him* He had to put his children to bed.

Thrax: *chuckles and strokes her hair* And I'll be doing the same for you and Ozzy in a few hours.

Northstar: Why?

Thrax: *kisses her forehead, whispering* Take a guess, my daughter.

Northstar: *grins*, being silly* why?

Thrax: *nuzzles her* unless you forget I have children to care for as well.

Northstar: *giggles*

Thrax: *purrs softly to her*

*suddenly something hard smacks right into the side of Thrax's temple*

Thrax: What the-? *looks over and sees a group of teenaged cells shouting at them* Northstar get to your room until I return. *sets her down*

Northstar: *goes inside*

Thrax: *stands up, cracking his knuckles and it was over in a flash as the cells lay on the ground groaning, battered and bruised* Now to take you where ya won't cause any more trouble. *ties them up and brings them to the FPD before returning home*

*Northstar is in her room playing with her toys under the covers.

Thrax: *comes in holding an ice pack to his head and sits down on the bed* I see you've found the toys Ozzy brought you.

Northstar: *looks up at him and goes over* Are you ok?

Thrax: I'll be fine it's just a headache, that's all.

Northstar: Can I see?

Thrax: *removes the ice pack revealing a slight gash on his temple, bruised around the edges*

Northstar: *stands up on the bed and puts her hand next to it, frowning* Poor daddy... *kisses the wound as her mother used to when she would get hurt and just as her mother used to she literally 'kisses it better' having a natural ability to heal*

Thrax: *runs his claws over where the wound was* Thanks but you didn't have to do that, I've gone through worse.

Northstar: *just smiles and holds her arms up to him*

Thrax: *lifts her up into his arms, cradling her close* *because of the sagging and tightening of his skin, his old scars even the faint ones begin to show*

Northstar: *lightly traces one of them with her finger*

Thrax: *gently takes her hand massaging it in his own* There no need to be afraid I bare them with honour *turns away* but also resentment.

Northstar: *softly* Why?

Thrax: *clenches his fist* Most of them I received trying to protect my family but there were times that I failed.

Northstar: *kisses him on the cheek again*

Thrax: *strokes her hair, kissing her forehead*

Northstar: *nuzzles into his chest a little*

Thrax: They are reminders of my mistakes and I don't wish to repeat them.

Northstar: Does your head still hurt?

Thrax: Not a bad but it'll clear.

Northstar: *kisses him on the forehead* I

Thrax: *nuzzles her* I'll be okay, there's no need to worry.

Northstar: *smiles a little* Will you play with me?

Thrax: *smiles* What is you wish to play, honey?

Northstar: *goes and gests some of her toys and brings them over, smiling, wanting to make up a game with him*

Thrax: *smiles towards her* -Should have guessed.-

Northstar: *giggles softly and plays happily with her new daddy*

Thrax: *plays along with her, softly laughing*
