Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp 70)

Ozzy: *is a tad late getting home*

Thrax: *looks as he enters* I was beginning to wonder if you'd show up at all. *gestures him to sit down* Better eat up before it gets cold.

Ozzy: heh sorry. Didn't have a much of a chance to call. *comes in tiredly and sits*

Thrax: *shakes his head as he sets Northstar back on her chair then helps himself to a small plate of food, he also sorts out a plate for Northstar as well* There you are, honey.

Northstar: *starts to eat*

Ozzy: Mm Lasagne. *eats*

Thrax: *chuckles to himself, taking a few bites himself*

Ozzy: *nomnomnomnomnomnomnom*

Thrax: *finishes up, wiping his mouth* Would you two like anything for desert?

Northstar: Do we have any ice cream?

Thrax: *smiles* Sure. *gathers up their plates and puts them in the sink before taking out the bowls and ice-cream* It's Napoleon so you have three choices. *scoops a couple of spoonfuls into two bowls and passes them to Northstar and Ozzy*

Northstar: *starts to chow down on the ice cream*

Ozzy: *ditto*

Thrax: *sits back down, drinking a tall glass of water*

Vic; *knocks no the door*

Thrax: Eh? *goes to answer it and sees his parents standing there* Evening father mother.

Marie: *doesn't answer, she seems to be in shock*

Vic: There's something we need to tell you. *wraps an arm around Marie*

Northstar: *comes out of the kitchen drinking some milk with a bendy straw*

Thrax: Please come in. *gestures them to the living room*

Vic: *gently steers Marie to the couch*

Marie: *collapses on the couch in a daze*

Thrax: *sits beside her* What's going on? *massages his mother's hand*

Vic: She's... still in shock somewhat.

Thrax: *beckons Ozzy and Northstar in to the living room*

Northstar: *sits in Thrax's lap still sipping her milk*

Thrax: Ozzy you to. *wraps his free arm round Northstar*

Northstar: *leans against him*

Vic: Marie do you want me to tell them?

Marie: *slowly nods, trying to get herself together*

Vic: *nuzzles her holding her close* well... Marie is pregnant. *smiles*

Thrax: *pales* What?

Vic: that's why she's been feeling so odd lately. She's going to have a baby.

Northstar: *puts her milk down and squeals going and glomping Marie*

Marie: *lightly strokes Northstar's hair but her hands are shaking*

Northstar: *nuzzles, cooing*

Thrax: *leans back, smirking* Didn't think you two had it in ya. *calls out* Ozzy get in here.

Vic: Thrax!

Ozzy: *comes into the room* Hm?

Thrax: Mind telling him father. *gives his mother's hand a small squeeze, nuzzling her*

Marie: *gently nuzzles him back, smiling slightly*

Vic: *smiles* Your grandma's pregnant Ozzy. *smiles*

Ozzy: really? No way! Way to go Granddad!

Vic: Ozzy! *face palms*

Thrax: *slightly snickers turning to his mother but frowns* You don't seem too excited mother.

Marie: *turns away from his face, tears starting to form in her eyes*

Vic: Marie? *nuzzles her* Marie...

Thrax: *face falls* It's fear, father. I can tell, she's scared.

Vic: *holds her close* Shhh...

Marie: *buries her face in his chest, quietly sobbing*

Thrax: *bites his lip, taking Northstar into his own lap* She fears that something may happen to her or the child. It's been so long for her.

Vic: *gently* It'll be alright... *rubs her back* Shhh... It's ok... It's ok...

Marie: *continues sobbing, her body starting to quiver*

Thrax: *cradles Northstar close as he watches his parents*

Northstar: *clings to Thrax and nuzzle into his chest*

Thrax: *strokes her hair then turns back to his father* Best if you keep an eye on mother. I don't know how this’ll affect her mentally.

Vic: *nods, holding his wife close to him*

Marie: *is still quivering but has calmed down a bit*

Thrax: *bites down hard on his lip* She always wanted this yet why is she so frightened?

Vic: *purrs lovingly to her and strokes her hair*

Marie: *clings on to him tightly*

Vic: *kisses her on the forehead* Would you like to go home and get some rest?

Marie: *nods into his chest*

Thrax: It would be the best for her, father.

Vic: *kisses her on the forehead*

Thrax: In time she'll come to terms father but for the moment we need to support her and make sure that everything goes smoothly.

Vic: *nods and takes Marie home*

Marie: *nuzzles against him as they head home*

Thrax: *sighs after they leave* Oh mother. *hangs his head*

Northstar: *sucks her thumb looking worried

Thrax: *strokes her face* She never thought it would be possible for her to have another child yet it has happened and she is frightened. *holds Northstar close to him*

Northstar: *sucks her thumb as she cuddles up to him, looking worried*

Ozzy: *rubs Northstar' head a little and gently takes her thumb out of her mouth*

Thrax: *shakes his head* Think you can help father and I with my mother?

Northstar: *tilting her head* Were you talkin' to me or Ozzy?

Thrax: *nuzzles her* Both of you.

Ozzy: Well what do you think kiddo? I mean it's gonna be tough and I could use your help? What do you think? *smiles*

Northstar: *nods a little and smiles back sheepishly*

Thrax: *smiles* Thank you. *smirks to himself* Just can't believe this has happened, but they deserve it for they had wished for this to happen.

Ozzy: *nods* Yeah big time

Thrax: *turns to Ozzy smirking* Who knows how big our family will become with all these surprises. *lays back against the couch*

Ozzy: *smiles warmly*

Thrax: *opens his eye slightly* Speaking of family I think you need to call your sister about her son.

Ozzy: *nods*

Thrax: Well then, what are you waiting for?

Ozzy: *picks up his cell and calls his sis*

Sakura: Hello?

Ozzy: Hey Sakura? It's ozzy

Sakura: Ozzy? Why the sudden call?

Ozzy: *tells her what Thrax told him*

Sakura: *sighs* Ozzy I can't lie to you. Even through the City of Frank has come to terms with your father and grand-parents our section of the family is still in trouble.

Ozzy: Yeah that doesn’t surprise me... sucks.

Sakura: I know. We can't go out in broad daylight and as you've heard we have to steal to survive.

Ozzy: Yeah... Hey I won't tell anyone.

Sakura: Thanks, little brother. *inhales deeply* I don't need this kind of stress at the minute.

Ozzy: Heh... none of us do sis.

Sakura: *smiles* Take care of yourself Ozzy.

Ozzy: I will. You too kay?

Sakura: Of course, bye Ozzy. *hangs up*

Ozzy: *ditto*

Thrax: *has been listening in* Are any of us ever getting out of this hell?

Ozzy: Heh yeah.

Thrax: *flops his head back* Hopefully they won't been found out, that's the last thing they need.

Ozzy: Yeah I agree

Thrax: *strokes Northstar's cheek* Be on guard Ozzy we've got a lot on our plate at the minute.

Ozzy: *nods*

Thrax: *sits up* Even though everything seems calm, trouble always brews unexpectedly and because of that we have to look out for one another.

Ozzy: Well.. that's what family's do isn't it?

Northstar: How come the whole herd isn't together?

Thrax: *looks down at her* What do you mean, honey?

Northstar: Well... Ozzy's sisters and cousins and stuff... They're all part of your family right? the whole herd?

Thrax: *smiles* We are. Even through we're all different we're still family. *kisses her forehead* We are one.

Northstar: *smiles*

Thrax: *nuzzles her* Even though some of us aren't related by blood or marriage, we're still family no matter what. Everyone of us.

Northstar: Me too? *looks up at him, suddenly frightened that there might come a time they don't want her anymore*

Thrax: *smiles* Even you, honey. *kisses her forehead* No one is left out of our family.

Northstar: *hugs him and smiles softly*

Thrax: *nuzzles her close* Heh, soon we may have a few new members to our clan.

Northstar: *nuzzles into his chest and sucks her thumb*

Thrax: *strokes her face then turns to Ozzy* Hate to say this but I'm actually jealous of your half-siblings and my parents at the minute.

Ozzy: cause they have little ones or little ones on the way?

Thrax: *nods* And a partner that loves them.

Ozzy: *wraps an arm around his shoulders* awww dad...

Thrax: *sighs* When I still had my job a few of my co-workers suggested I should look for a wife or at least a girlfriend but as you know I can't bring myself to do so. I would betray Eve's memory by doing so.

Ozzy: How so?

Thrax: Because Eve was the only one who ever understood me and my family's situation. I can never find another woman like that.

Ozzy: *hugs him*

Thrax: *hugs him back, stroking his cheek*

Northstar: *nuzzles into his chest*

Thrax: *strokes the back of her head* I've not one to betray my loved ones, ever.

Northstar: *nuzzles again into his chest, a spot on his shirt becoming wet*

Thrax: *gently lifts her chin*

Northstar: *is crying silently*

Thrax: *wipes away her tears with his thumb* What's wrong, honey?

Northstar: *sniffles softly* I miss mommy.

Thrax: *slowly nods* I wish I could help you some how, honey. *sits up and cradles her close, rubbing her back*

Northstar: *nuzzles into his chest again and clings*

Ozzy: *wiggles his way into Thrax's lap as well and cuddles both of them*

Thrax: *wraps his other arm around Ozzy and holds his children close, softly purring* As long as I have you two I'm happy. You two are all I need.

Northstar: *nuzzles close and starts to coo softly*

Ozzy: *smiles up at him* We love you too dad.

Thrax: *purrs* And you both know I love you. *nuzzles them both*

Northstar: *nuzzles back, smiling back at him as she sucks her thumb*

Ozzy: *takes her thumb out of her mouth and cuddles up to Thrax, wrapping an arm around her*

Thrax: *kicks off his boots and lays back on the couch, holding Ozzy and Northstar to his chest*

Northstar: *nuzzles into his chest and rubs her eyes a little*

Ozzy: I think someone's tired.

Northstar: Nuh uh!

Ozzy: Yeah huh...

Northstar: Nuh uh!

Ozzy: *pokes her tummy gently* Yeah huh! *grin*

Thrax: Okay you two enough. Besides it is getting late and I think we should all turn in. *sits up with the two in his arms*

Northstar: Not tired.

Ozzy: Yeah huh

Northstar: nuh uh!

Thrax: *chuckles* Let's go. *gets to his feet carries them upstairs*

Northstar: I'm so not tired.

Ozzy: Yeah huh.

Northstar: *giggles* Nuh uh!

Ozzy: Nuh uh!

Northstar: Yeah h..hey!

Ozzy: *laughs*

Thrax: *shakes his head, taking Northstar to her room first*

Northstar: *frowns as they go into her room and clings to his neck* Nay!

Thrax: *sighs, setting Ozzy down and tries to ease Northstar's arms from his neck* Northstar, let go.

Northstar: *shakes her head and clings tighter*

Thrax: *sits down on the bed* Honey, I know you don't like being alone but I'm afraid you have to sleep in your own room.

Northstar: *Shakes her head and continues to cling to him*

Thrax: *thinks for a minute then moves his hands to Northstar's sides and begins tickling her*

Northstar: *whines a little then starts to giggle*

Thrax: *continues tickling her*

Northstar: *puts her arms down and giggles to protect herself from the tickling*

Thrax: *quickly jumps to his feet* Alright now it's bedtime for you both.

Northstar: *gets up and goes to him, clinging to his leg* I don't wanna sleep by myself.

Thrax: *smirks* Now why doesn't this seem familiar? *looks over at Ozzy*

Ozzy: *chuckles softly* I can't imagine.

Northstar: *clings tighter to Thrax's leg*

Thrax: *scoops Northstar into his arms before raising his brow at Ozzy, smirking*

Northstar: *clings to his neck again and nuzzles*

Thrax: Looks like you'll be sleeping with me, honey. *turns to Ozzy* As for you, bed.

Ozzy: Sure. *kisses him on the cheek* Goodnight. *rubs Northstar' head and whispers* Yeah huh...

Northstar: *pokes her tongue out playfully*

Thrax: *shakes his head, smiling before kissing Ozzy's forehead* Night, baby.

Ozzy: Night. *heads to the bathroom first then to his bedroom*

Thrax: *strokes Northstar's hair* Now for you. *lays Northstar in her bed, pulling the covers round her face*

Northstar: *reaches up for him*

Thrax: *removes his turtleneck before laying down next her*

Northstar: *cuddles up close to him and hugs him tight*

Thrax: *kisses her forehead* Goodnight, my jewel.

Northstar: *softly* nite daddy.. *cuddles up to him, instinctively seeking out his heartbeat*

Thrax: *wraps his arms round her and lays her head against his chest, smiling* Sweet dreams, honey. *closes his eyes, allowing sleep to take him*

Northstar: *falls asleep cuddled close to him*

Thrax: *during the middle of the night Thrax has his usual problems. He sees his mother standing there holding a bundle in her arms smiling at him. He walks over, pulling the white revealing a newborn baby virus, sleeping soundly. The little one looked like Marie but it’s dreads were black from his father. Marie set the child in Thrax’s arms gently. Thrax smiled at the young one but when he looked back up at his mother he saw her waist away before him* No mother. *He looked down at the child and saw it wasn’t breathing* No. Not again. *the child soon faded away and Thrax his mother’s voice one last time* ‘I Love You, my son.’ *he suddenly jolts awake at this, breathing heavily* Dammit.

Northstar: *meeps and jumps awake, frightened by Thrax's outburst*

Thrax: *places his head in his hands* Not again. Why does this keep happening?

Northstar: *rubs her eyes a little* Bad dream daddy?

Thrax: *sighs* Very bad.

Northstar: *hugs him*

Thrax: *hugs her back* I don't know if those were my fears or my mother's.

Northstar: Do you and your mama have a link?

Thrax: *nods* Yes. It comes in handy most of the time, but when we have nightmares. That's the only time it's bad.

Northstar: *nuzzles him a little*

Thrax: *kisses her forehead* Go back to sleep, honey.

Northstar: *cuddles close*

Thrax: *strokes her face light* Rest, my jewel.
