*Next Morning*
Thrax: *sitting next to Ozzy's bed with a loving smile as he looks on at his son*
Ozzy: *starts to stir and wake up, yawning*
Thrax: *kneels next to the bed* Morning, baby. *softly coos at Ozzy, stroking his hair*
Ozzy: *looks up at him and smiles* Hey there.
Thrax: Sleep okay, baby?
Ozzy: *nods* Yeah I did. *sits up and yawns* How long have you been up?
Thrax: Few hours. *sighs* My nightmares again.
Ozzy: *holds his hand*
Thrax: *massages Ozzy's hand* My fear and memories are getting the better of me, no mater how much I suppress them.
Ozzy: maybe you suppress them too much
Thrax: *shakes his head* Doesn't matter, they emerge every night. *kisses his forehead*
Ozzy: *hugs him tightly*
Thrax: *hugs him back* C'mon, let's get you breakfast. *leads Ozzy to the kitchen area*
Ozzy: *nods and walks with him, still wearing his PJs*
Thrax: *searches through the cupboards and gathers the ingredients he needs* Pancakes okay with you, angel?
Ozzy: sounds great! *smiles and moves to set the table*
Thrax: *nods and begins cooking* *sets Ozzy's food on the table then sits down clutching a mug of coffee.*
Ozzy: aren't you going to eat?
Thrax: Usual problems beside I can't keep anything down now. *takes a sip of coffee*
Ozzy: you're not getting sick are you?
Thrax: *shakes his head* No, it's my nerves that are causing it.
Ozzy: *worried, holds his hand*
Thrax: *gently massages Ozzy's hand in his own* No need for you to worry baby.
Ozzy: Don't you have, like a fatter metabolic than me or something?
Thrax: Not much of one when I'm like this.
Ozzy: *worried*
Thrax: *drinks down his coffee* There is no need for you to worry baby. *taps his nose* That's my job.
Ozzy: *kisses his cheek* I hope you eat something soon though.
Thrax: Trying to keep it down is my only problem, sweetie.
Ozzy: *squeezes his hand gently*
Thrax: *massages Ozzy's in his* I can't keep anything down or get any rest when my nerves are like this. *sighs* I'm sorry, baby.
Ozzy: *feels a little guilty for earning a spanking the previous day, knowing that can't have been good for his nerves
Thrax: *places his head in his hands* The attack, our relationship revealed and having you injured THRICE.
Ozzy: *softly* Dad?
Thrax: *looks up at him* Hmmm?
Ozzy: *softly seriously* I'm going to behave today... I won't take any stupid chances... I won't give you any reason to worry.
Thrax: *smiles* Thank you, baby. *kisses him*
Ozzy: *gives him a kiss back and hugs him tight*
Thrax: *hugs him back, whispering* I love you, baby and I don't wish any harm to come to you.
Ozzy: *nuzzles* I know.. I promise... I promise to do better...
Thrax: *nods* I know, angel. *nuzzles him* I know you will
Ozzy: *smiles though soon it's time for him to go to work*
Thrax: *smiles* You better get going, sweetie.
Ozzy: *smiles and nods* Yeah I should. *kisses him on the cheek* I'll see you after work.. you have a good day ok? love you.
Thrax: *smiles* Love you to, baby.*waves to his son*
Ozzy: *waves back before heading to work*
*somewhere about mid morning Thrax gets a phone call*
Thrax: *answers the phone* He-hello?
Chief: Thrax?
Thrax: *sighs with relief* Yes chief?
Chief: Just what did you feed him this morning Thrax? He's... peppy..
Thrax: *groans* Just pancakes but this never happened before.
Chief: Well he's pretty perky today... It's like he's just outa the academy... he's all 'yes sir no sir" and the like.
Thrax: He just trying to be on his best behaviour today.
Chief: well he's doing a good job of it.
Thrax: *smiles* Glad to hear that. Is that all you wished to report.
Chief: yeah. He's been doing good today,... I mean he's still a goofball but that's not a problem.
Thrax: *nods, chuckling* I can understand that.
Chief: Anyway I thought I'd let you know
Thrax: Of course, thank you. You know to call me if he starts acting up.
Chief: I sure will. He seemed to respond pretty good to being put in the corner yesterday too. Did he bring you the lines I had him write?
Thrax: Yes, he did and he received his punishment for it as well.
Chief: I always thought he needed some paternal discipline. Good to know he has someone to take him in hand.
Thrax: I do what I can for him. I'd rather show him discipline with love never with anger.
Chief: *chuckles* good to hear. I've seen some changes in him since you started taking care of him.
Thrax: *nods* He needs the chance to 'grow-up' as it were after what he's gone through.
Chief: I agree. You've done him right Thrax. He's a good kid.
Thrax: I know. *checks his watch* You better get back to work and I've got house work to do.
Chief: Sure thing.
Thrax: Okay. Goodbye.
Chief: Take care. *hangs up*
Thrax: *sets the phone down and begins his household chores*
*Later that Evening*
Thrax: *curled up on the couch sewing*
Ozzy: *comes home a wee bit late but only by about a half hour*
Thrax: *turns to him* Good day, baby?
Ozzy: *smiles and walks over to him* Yep. *chuckles* I think I confused the Chief though.
Thrax: *chuckles* I know. I got a call from him about the way you were acting today.
Ozzy: Oh? *chuckles* So did he ask you if I had a stash of endorphins or something?
Thrax: *laughs* No just asked me what I fed you today, thought it maybe the reason.
Ozzy: *laughs softly and hugs him*
Thrax: *hugs him back, ruffling his hair*
Ozzy: *smiles, having kept his promise and behaved*
Thrax: *leans back* Got any plans for tonight, angel.
Ozzy: *shakes his head*
Thrax: *smiles* Not really the social one are ya? *strokes his face*
Ozzy: nah. Not unless I'm with someone. *smiles*
Thrax: *nuzzles him* Same here, baby. *kisses him*
Ozzy: *gives him a kiss back and sits in his lap*
Thrax: *chuckles, holding close to him* You're definably are worth the trouble, my little one. *purrs deeply*
Ozzy: *smiles and lets out a soft content sigh as he listens to him purring*
Thrax: *cradles Ozzy to his chest, softly purring as he strokes Ozzy's hair* *softly pats Ozzy's side, nuzzling him*
Ozzy: *nuzzles back, closing his eyes*
Thrax: *softly chuckles to himself as he starts humming a familiar melody while continuing stroking Ozzy's hair*
Ozzy: *smiles, cuddling as he begins to drift off
Thrax: *gently begins rocking Ozzy, still humming the lullaby*
Ozzy: *cuddles into his chest and closes his eyes*
Thrax: *slowly gets to his feet and carries Ozzy to the bedroom, laying the tired cell on the bed* Rest, my angel. *lays next to him, kissing his forehead* *pulls the covers up round them, wrapping his arm round Ozzy*
Ozzy: *stirs slightly in his sleep but doesn't wake* mmm... *sleeps*
Thrax: *smiles at him, turning out the bedside light* Goodnight, my little one. *kisses his forehead and is finally able to get a peaceful night's sleep*
Ozzy: *cuddles up to him in the middle of the night, sleeping*
Thrax: *smiles in his sleep, pulling Ozzy closer to his body*:
Ozzy: mmmmph... daddy... *lets out a soft coo in his sleep.
Thrax: *soft purr erupts from his throat as he holds his son close, sleeping peaceful for the rest of night*
