I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 204

Thrax: *sighed n nuzzled against Oz for a moment before making tht last turn tht led them to the safehouse, which was oddly facing the forest* Huh...I didnt knw tht forest exists in the brain area...

Ozzy blinked and looked out the window. "Huh? Me either, this is a little weird..." he mumbled, sitting back on his chair.

Thrax: Hmm...I wonder where could this...

*a soft rap on the roof of the trailer was heard before a familiar face popped out frm the windshield*

Majah: Evening, guys~ Glad u finally found this plc

Ozzy jumped and looked up, frowning a little before he relaxed. "Jeez Majah, why'd you sneek up on us like that?"

Majah: Stealth, remember? I AM a spy aftr all. I see u've found this plc

Thrax: *cursed under his breath in Spanish*

Majah: Wat crawled up his ass n died? *meant tht as a joke*

Ozzy's eyes widened before he cringed, not looking so chill. "Uh, can we not mention dying right now. Please." he said, rubbing at the back of his neck.

Majah: Hmm~? *could see frm the dark look Thrax was giving him tht it wasnt pretty* Alright, u guys can tell me wat happened later *climbed into the trailer van* For now, follow my lead. Drive right into the forest, follow this bushy trail here

Thrax: *groans n rolled his eyes as he shifted gear n started driving* Dude, wat is with this forest anyway? I nvr knew of brain area hving forests

Majah: This is wat u get in a clean freak city. Quite a number of things r untouched ard here, the brain being the most. Since Salander doesnt reli eat much junk, there isnt much materials n manpower to use to modernize this plc, so its tree-huggers heaven here

Thrax: Ugh, great, not only we're in Dullsville, we're in Dullsville in the friggin' Stone Ages

"At least it's clean?" Ozzy mumbled and sighed, though he knew they'd be no junk food around for ages, if at all. He could do with a greasy burger right now.

Majah: Tht's prolly the only upside to it--ah, turn tht-a-way--Well, u do get the nice pastry shops n confectionery shops ard here, bt its reli, reli super rare, n most of them r tasteless anyway. The only plc tht actually hv decent pastry is the  Gluten Glucose Cake House, ah, right, tht's the one tht Klepta n Edison went this late aftrnoon to---

Thrax: *slammed the brakes all of a sudden n grabbed Majah by the collar n slammed him against teh windscreen* U were there! U were there, weren't u?! Ur job was to spy on us, remember? N u were there! Weren't u?!

"Shit, Thrax! Calm down!" Ozzy said, but he didn't move to stop him. If Majah knew where Klepta and Edison was, then he would of seen it, he would of known what had happened.

Majah: Agh!! *felt like the wind was knocked out of him wen he was slammed against the windscreen* Well, yeah, I was there. I saw them being attacked, so I quickly went to ur side to stand guard so tht no one has come to attack u guys. I thought Klepta n Edison can hold their own

Thrax: How do I knw u didnt send those goons to attack them?! How can we trust u wen ur still Big Mama's lackey?!

Majah: Hey, its coz of me u guys got this far *coughed a bit; his ailing body still bothering him* If it weren't for me, u'd be dead already

Thrax: If it weren't for u idling by n jumped ship instead of helping Klep n Eddie, their baby would've survived!! Its ur fault its dead!! *sucker-punched him*

Ozzy flinched and frowned at the punch, stepping up to rest his hand on Thrax's shoulder. "Come on now, don't fight. We don't need anymore of that, okay? We need time to recooperate."

Majah: Wait...wat? Tht's wat happened? I swear, I swear I didnt knw this would happen. I swear I didnt knw Edison was pregnant n all tht. If I did, I would've helped them, no questions asked. I reli thought they could hold their own...

Thrax: Spare me *threw Majah off n let out an exasperated huff* Ur lucky we still need u, or else I'll slit ur throat n put u outta ur misery *went bk to the wheel again n continued driving*

Majah: *coughed before getting bk on his feet* I'm...I'm reli sorry, man. I seriously didnt knw...How's Edison holding up?

Ozzy sighed and looked to Majah, rubbing Thrax's shoulder. "He ain't doing so good... he's not eating or drinking, or even moving. Or speaking... it's hit him hard."

Majah: Understandable. Viruses r not tht easy to breed than cells, some of us can go more than 10, 20 yrs without children. I feel for him

Thrax: *mumbled a "Whatevr" as he drove dwn the trail*

"I'll be surprised if he even wants to try again at all." Ozzy sighed and left Thrax to drive, Nessie following him. He picked up Nessie's bowl, getting him some dinner ready.

Majah: *took ovr the seat n continued to direct Thrax dwn the road*

Nessie: *circled ard n ard Oz's feet, followed by Chico, then followed by Wolf, all asking for dinner*

Ozzy blinked in surprise, feeling all of them nudging him and walking around him. "G-guys, hey... come on, settle do-ah!" he gasped out as he tripped over them, falling on his back, the dog food going everywhere.

*both Nessie n Wolf yapped, their minds r on food right now as they lapped up the dog food tht went everywhere n on Oz, while Chico watched helplessly since she couldnt eat dog food*

"Ugh, guys. Stop, that's gross." Ozzy groaned, pushing the dogs away as he managed to get himself back to his feet and picked up all the bowls. He grumbled, smelling and covered in dog food as he prepared a proper meal for them all.

*Nessie n Wolf pecked at the last few bits of dog food on the floor n yapped, wagging their tails as they waited for the rest of their meal*

"You dummies." Ozzy mumbled and shook his head before he moved the three bowls, setting them down on the mat layed out so the food wouldn't geti on the floor. "Eat up guys." he said before he looked over at Thrax. "I'm going to shower, a'right?" he called out before heading off.

Nessie&Wolf: *yapped n ate their dinner*

Chico: *mewled happily, finally getting her dinner*

Ozzy headed into the bathroom, sighing as he started up the shower, undressing himself.

Majah: *knocked at the door* Anyone in there? I need to pee~ I promise I wont look~

Ozzy had just got into the shower, frowning. "Can't you hold it? I'm busy in here!"

Majah: Pretty, is tht u? No, I reli can't~ Just lemme in, I promise I wont do anything~ *was doing the wee wee dance right now*

"Ugh, just... go pee out the window or in the sink or something!" Ozzy called back, grumbling to himself.

Majah: C'mon, pls~ I cant pee out in the window, Thrax is driving, n the only sink is the kitchen sink. U want me to pee in a plc where u eat? Seriously, I wont do anything, I promise. I wont look, just lemme in~

"Ugh, fine. Come in, but hurry up! And don't look!" Ozzy called back out.

Majah: Scouts honour *comes in n peed, sighing in relief. Then he cleaned himself up before he said quietly* I'm reli sorry...abt Edison

Ozzy blinked, peeking out around the curtain, frowning a little. "Yeah, well it's a bit late now..."

Majah: I swear, I didnt knw. If I did, I would've... *slammed his fist against the mirror, bt not so hard tht it would break* Dammit...Damn tht bitch...Killing u guys is one thing, bt killing an innocent child...

"... The child was forming, it wasn't just a normal fetus, it was forming a head and fingers." Ozzy said, frowning at him. "Was it really her? That sent them out?"

Majah: Yeah, I recognized those goons, they were conferencing with Big Mama the other day, bt I didnt expect them to attack so soon, n I didnt reli knw wat they were conferencing abt anyways. I was left to be in charge of the girls, so its safe to assume tht it has to be her sending them out... *gasped a little* Could it be tht...she KNEW Edison was pregnant?

Ozzy blinked before his eyes widened at the realisation. "... Is that possible? But how could she know, only Eddie, Thrax and I knew..."

Majah: I cant say for sure, maybe its just pure luck tht its her sending the goons to assassinate u guys, bt if she reli knew too...Tht means I'm not the only spy... *his face looked like he feared the worst*

"Not... they only one? Shit... you gotta find out for certain. That means Big Mama mustn't trust you enough." Ozzy said, frowning.

Majah: I would be surprised if she did. She's always been a bit on the suspicious side... *realized he was in the bathroom longer than he should* Right, gtg, need to help Thrax with the last lap of direction *patted Oz's head a bit before leaving the bathroom*

Ozzy grumbled before he sighed and shook his head. Great, now they had to watch out for someone else spying on them. He sighed and dipped back into the shower to clean up.

I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 203

*the twins just managed to get their babies n Amber to sleep wen Oz came in*

Rodeo: Ah, Oz to-chan? Doushita (Wassup)?


"Uh, hey. I have a bit of a problem I need some help with. Eddie freaked out before and..." Ozzy mumbled before he reached up, pulling the bandages off his shoulder, revealing the gaping wound.

Rodeo: Ara-ra~! Sore o kizutsukeru yona koto ga mieta (that looked like it hurt). Sa, sa, dozo, dozo *let Oz sit dwn*

Rouge: I'll get the medical kit *went off to get it while Rodeo inspected the wound some more*


"Itai! I-I mean... ow... Jeez you guys, you got to stop with your multi-languages... I already have Thrax speaking Spanish to me a lot, now there's you guys and Eddie with his... German was it?" Ozzy mumbled, wincing a little as Rodeo looked over his wound.

Rodeo: *chuckles* Sa, its good, isnt it? Being multilingual? U'll thank us for it soon

Rouge: Hai, med kit is here

Rodeo: Ne, hold still teba. I'm gonna suture this up n u'll fixed in no time *took out the necessary tools n got to work*

Rouge; Sa, to take the edge off the sting *handed the cell a flask of whiskey*

Ozzy blinked and took the flask, frowning a little. "I don't know about that. Though, at least I know what some germs are talking about now. I guess if I was back at my old job, it would of helped. Heh." he mumbled before he hissed out and flinched away. "Ow, Frank! That stings."

Rouge: Ne~ I gave u the flask for a reason. Sa, sa, dozo~ *tilt the flask into Oz to let him take one gulp*

Rodeo: *grins as he continued his thing*

"What, no, I shouldn't... I don't-" Ozzy grunted as the flask was tipped into his mouth, taking a big gulp. He pulled it away, coughing a little, a shudder going through him. "Damn, that's strong."

Rouge: Haha! Desu ne (aint it)? Got the buzz u dont feel the pain anymore, darou (do u)?

Rodeo: *move to suture the deeper part of the gaping hole n the buzz did work its magic on the cell*

"I... woah..." Ozzy groaned a little, holding his head. "Yeah, I can feel it..." he mumbled and relaxed a little, barely feeling the pricks of the suturing.

Rouge: Desho? Uso ja nai no ne (told u i'm not lying)

Rodeo: Almost done, Oz to-chan. Just lean bk a little n I'll get the last bit done, ne?

Ozzy gave a small hiccup, resting back a little for him. "Yeah... how's it looking?" he asked, glancing to his shoulder.

Rodeo: Daijobu, its a bit deep, bt not too bad. Just let ur cell self-healing attributes kick in while the suture holds it up n u'll be fine

Rouge; *took a swig frm the flask n sighed* Ne...Bikurishita ne (i'm totes surprised)... Eddie-chan wa jissai ni wa subete no kono-jikan ninshin shite iru... (Eddie's actually pregnant all this time) How the heck did we miss tht out?

"Well, he did hide away a lot you know? He wasn't around us much." Ozzy said, reaching up to touch the stitched up shoulder. "Maybe wrap it up, so it doesn't get anything in it."

Rodeo: Hai hai *took out the bandages n wrapped it* Sa...Evn so...He could've at least told Klepta oni-sama desu ne...I mean, they ARE lovers now...

Rouge: Hai hai, Klepta oni-sama would've moved mountains for Eddie-chan if he asked him, n he would be absolutely thrilled to knw tht he was going to be a oto-san. Ja, why didnt he tell him at least then...? Wakaranai desu ne... (I dont get it)

"... He was scared. Which, I can understand. What I've learned about Eddie is... he's still a kid, you know?" Ozzy sighed and shook his head, smiling a little at them.

Rouge: Nanda? Gaki (kid)? Eddie chan wa 50 o oshi, 40-daide wa, okare sukunakare sudeni aru, oboete imasu ka? (Eddie's already more or less in his late forties, pushing fifty, remember) Gaki ja nai yo (he aint a kid no more)

Rodeo: Anno, oni-chan, if u wanna see it in viral terms, technically Eddie-chan wa gaki desu ne...Anata wa, 50 ga aratana 30 no watashitachi no sakurudearu koto o shitte imasu (U do knw tht 50 is the new 30's in our circle)

Rouge: So...So deyo ne (I guess so)...

Rodeo: Klepta oni-sama did say we would only actually age wen we hit the 100-marker, so...Oz to-chan is right, he is a gaki

"Hai hai, I do know that... demo, he's still mentally like a kid, you know? He's been hidden away most of his life, he ain't really done the adult stuff that most of us have done. He's, ah... what do you guys call them... a little internet nerd. He's like a teenager still." he laughed a little.

Rouge: Sore no yo ni hikikomori no oku o sa rete (being a shut-in is more like it)

Rodeo: Oni-chan~ Damare yo (shut it)~ *finished the bandage* Sa, all done

"Heh, yeah." Ozzy looked at his shoulder, trying to move it, making him wince a little. "Ah, still tender, but at least Thrax won't shout at me anymore for it."

Rodeo: Sa, Thrax ottoto-chan wa kanari ikatteiru, kare wa arimasen ka? (Thrax is pretty pissed. isn't he?)

Rouge: Of course he would! Some random bunch of germs go attacking Klepta oni-sama n Eddie-chan for no reason n got our would-be niece/nephew killed! I'm pissed too! Just wen Thrax ottoto-chan n Eddie-chan were getting along... *the twins didnt seem to hv figured out tht it was Big Mama's lackeys*

"Well... Klepta and Thrax don't seem to think it was just a random attack... they think it was Big Mama." Ozzy muttered to them, deciding that they'd need to know, too.

Twins: Big Mama??

Rodeo: Kuso...We should've seen this coming. We're getting close, of course she would make the first move

Rouge: Kuso! Why didnt Majah-kun warned us abt this?! We could've went n help Klepta oni-sama! Eddie-chan no kodomo-chan didnt need to die like this...KUSO!! *punched teh wall, leavinga a huge dent n waking the kids, causing them to wail in fright*

Ozzy blinked before he moved over to the kiss, hushing and calming them down as he looked to the twins and frowning. "Maybe even he didn't know it was coming? Maybe she's not telling him everything."

Rodeo: O-Oni-chan~ *picks the twins up* Sa, sa, shh~ Daijobu, daijobu, oka-chan is right here *rocked them to calm them dwn*

Rouge: Maybe, bt still... *sighed n picked Amber up* Gomene, gomene, shh...

Rodeo: Sa, I think u better chk to see if Thrax ottoto-chan has made progress on the trip to the safehouse

Ozzy nodded and sighed softly, getting up and leaving them to calm the kids down. He closed the door, blinking, seeing his big pup waiting for him. "Hey boy, you know something's wrong, don't you?" he said softly, reaching out and petting his head before he headed up to the drivers seat to check on Thrax, Nessie following.

Nessie: *barked, sniffing Oz abt to make sure his Mommy is OK, then followed behind Oz to the driver's seat*

Thrax: *still on the wheel, keeping an eye on the map tht Majah has given them, bt it seemed he's calmed dwn a bit somehow*

"Hey, daijoubu? Uh, you okay? Sorry... the twins are really infectious..." Ozzy said, chuckling slightly as he sat down in the seat beside him, petting the pup.

Thrax: *a bit of a long silence before he sighed* Yeah, I'm fine. Still a little bummed frm just now, bt I'm fine *another silence again before saying out of the blue* It's not right

"Hm? What?" Ozzy looked up from petting Nessie, frowning a little. "What's not right?"

Thrax: This. Letting Big Mama win this round. Our would-be niece/nephew's death. Being buried ovr there in Frank-damn nowhere only to be forgotten or prolly dug up as fertilizer. This. All this. *shifted the gear with a pissed grudging move before making the nxt turn according to the map* Big Mama will pay for this. She will PAY!

"You need to keep calm. We're all upset but losing our cool ain't going to help us. It'll make it worse. She will pay, not just for this, for everything."

Thrax: I knw, bt u knw how it is for me. I've lost too much, I've watched with my own eyes my own little sibs die by her hands, n I almost lost all my older sibs bcoz of her. Now...Now another young one is lost before my eyes...It brings bk old wounds *took a left*

"Yeah, I know. But don't worry. No one else is going to die by her hands. I promise. We'll get her." Ozzy said, reaching out and resting a hand on his arm.

I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 202

Rodeo: *peeks out as he was bringing in clean sheets for the bed* Anno...Klepta oni-sama wa daijobu deska (is Klepta OK)?

Ozzy looked up, giving a little smile. "Yeah, he's fine. He just needs a little cleaning up." he said before he moved to get a wash cloth and bandages, getting to work cleaning Klepta and wrapping up his wounds.

Thrax: *took some meds n a gauze n went in front of the mirror to fix himself up* How's Eddie?

Rouge: Sa, he's pretty beat up as expected. Curled up there n totally shutting us out. He won't evn drink, n I made him something to keep his strength up frm the blood loss. Kowai so... (poor guy)

Ozzy sighed and bit his lip, shaking his head. "He's going to have to eat something, he'll waste away if he doesn't."

Klepta: I'll handle him. Just hurry up the bandages, doll.

Thrax: I'll take the wheel. We still hv a way to go to get to tht safehouse Majah told us abt *finished putting on his gauze n went to the wheel n started the engine*

Ozzy nodded and tied up the last bandage before he moved out the way to let him up. "Just be careful, okay?" he warned him, sitting back himself with a sigh.

Klepta: I will. Where was the drink u made, Rodeo?

Rodeo: *pointed at the kitchen counter*

Klepta: Thanks *takes the glass n made his way to the bedroom, then slowly sat dwn beside Edison n whispered* Eddie? Eddie, its me

Edison just curled up tighter when he heard someone else come in, pulling the blankets over his head to hide away from whoever it was. He cringed when he heard his brother's voice, fear washing over him.

Ozzy sighed and looked up, moving over to Thrax to check his cheek. "It's not too deep, is it?" he asked, not even worried about his own pained arm.

Thrax: Dont worry, it'll heal soon enough. U still havent got ur arm fixed yet? Go see the twins. Ask them to fix u

Klepta: Eddie, dont be scared... *sighed n gently patted his bk, deciding to switch to Edison's native tongue to make him feel more secure* Eddie, ich bin nicht böse auf dich. Bitte etwas trinken. Sie verlor viel Blut, müssen Sie Ihre Kraft zu tanken (Eddie, I'm not angry at you. Please drink something. You lost a lot of blood, you need to regain your strength)

Ozzy looked at his arm and how badly he had wrapped it up. "Uh, nah, it'll be fine." he said, grinning sheepishly. He didn't really want those twins going to town on him.

Edison flinched, tensing as he was touched, listening to his brother, hearing that familiar tongue that he could understand a lot better. Though, he still didn't speak.

Thrax: No, baby. Dont argue with me right now. Go *sounded authoritative, obviously a bit pissed abt wat just happened, especially wen he knew it was Big Mama's doing*

Klepta: *tries to lower the blanket so he could see him* Komm, meine Liebe. Trinken etwas. Sie brauchen es. Ich verlor unser Baby ... Ich möchte nicht verlieren Sie auch ... (Come on, my love. Drink something. U need it. I lost our baby...I dont wanna lose u too...) *trying to hold the choke in his voice*

Ozzy opened his mouth to argue back, but closed it, deciding against it as he gave and nod and turned, heading to the twin's room.

Edison held the blanket tighter over his head, shaking his head again. He didn't want to eat, drink, do anything but curl up and die. He didn't realise that it would effect him this much if he got rid of the child. He felt like he had lost a part of himself.

Klepta: Bitte ... Bitte tun Sie das nicht zu mir ... Ich bitte Sie ... (Please...Please don't do this to me...I beg you...) *couldnt hold bk his tears any longer as he set dwn the drink n hugged Edison frm behind, crying against the bk of Edison's shoulder. He couldnt do this either. He couldnt bear the guilt of not knwing n now losing something he should've love n protected with his life, n seeing Edison like this was making it worse* Ich liebe dich, mein Bruder ... aber wenn du zu sterben ... Ich habe nichts zu leben ... Nichts ... Bitte ... (I love you, my brother...but if you die too...I have nothing to live for...Nothing...Please...)

Edison curled up tighter, not speaking, he just wanted to be alone right now, he hurt, mentally, physically and emotionally. He just listened to Klepta, feeling the wetness against his shoulder.

Klepta: *sobs* Du hast nichts falsch, meine Liebe. Big Mama tat dies. Es ist alles ihre Schuld. Sie tat dies für Sie, für uns, für unser Baby. Ich mache ihr Lohn. Ich schwöre auf unser Baby das Leben, ich werde sie ficken Lohn für diese zu machen ... (U did nothing wrong, my love. Big Mama did this. It's all her fault. She did this to u, to us, to our baby. I'll make her pay. I swear on our baby's life, I'll make her fucking pay for this...) *carried on sobbing until he passed out while still hugging Edison, KO-ed frm the blood loss n fatigue*

Edison felt Klepta's hold become heavy. Biting his lip, he shifted himself, a hand moving to grab onto Klepta's arm around him, pulling it close before he allowed himself to pass out with him.

I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 201

Ozzy blinked as Klept walked passed him with a bloody bundle, biting his lip as he stepped out out the trailer to watch Klepta and Thrax.

Thrax: *followed behind Klepta quietly n he watched as Klepta grabbed a gardening trowel n started digging a hole deep enough to bury the baby*

Klepta: *dug n dug n dug with a vengeance, wishing tht he could kill the bastards ovr n ovr again for doing this to his beloved brother/lover n murdering his baby, bt mostly he was angry at himself for not noticing the signs sooner, for not being there for Eddie, for not finding out more or pressing the matter wen Eddie was starting to act weird*

Ozzy stepped down off the steps and moved over to the two of them, watching Klepta as he bit his lip before he reached out, setting a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry."

Klepta: *doesnt reply as he continued doing his thing. Wen he finally buried the baby, he sat there quietly, staring at the mound of dirt before finally whispering* How long hv u known, Thrax...?

Thrax: What...?

Klepta: *stood up abruptly n grabbed Thrax's collar, slamming him against the tree n hissed* Dont u fucking play coy with me! I saw tht look on ur face! U knew! U knew Eddie was pregnant! How long?! How long hv u fucking known?!

"Klepta, woah, calm down!" Ozzy called out, stepping between them, pressing his hands to the Virus' chest, looking up at him with a saddened look. He reached up, cupping his face, hushing him softly. "You need to calm down, okay? I know you're angry, hell, we're all angry. But getting worked up like this ain't gunna help anyone."

Klepta: He knew Eddie was pregnant! Dont deny it! How long hv u known?! *doesnt resist Oz's hold on him tho*

Thrax: *massaged his throat for a while before sighing* For quite a while enough for the fetus to develop to this stage

Klepta: Why? Why didnt u tell me?! I'm ur brother, n he's ur brother! N he's hving MY baby!! Ur supposed to tell things as important as this to ur brothers!!

Thrax: I promised Eddie I wouldnt tell, Klep. I made a promise, Klep. Tht's wat brothers do too

Ozzy held Klepta, soothing him, trying to keep him calm. "He's right, Klepta, he did promise. And before you ask, I haven't known that long.  " he told him, looking back at Thraxx before sighing.

Thrax: *was surprised* U knew too, baby?

Klepta: What...? U...? *was at loss of words; how many ppl hv known? Why was he the only one in the dark?*

"Well, I had an idea? He was acting like the twins were, you know? So I thought, and then I over heard you and Edison talking and well... yeah." Ozzy said with a small shrug. "I think it's just us, oh, and the pups."

Thrax: I'm not surprised at the pups, since they've got a good nose, bt to think u knew too. *shook his head n shrugged*

Klepta: My baby...I should've been there. I should've known earlier...Then I wouldn't hv...Eddie didnt hv to...Oh fuck, why didnt he tell me...? I would've been happy, I would've loved him n protected him with my life! Why didnt he tell me...?? *started sobbing in Oz's arms*

Ozzy held Klepta, holding him close, rubbing his back gently. "Shh... he was scared. As far as I know, he wasn't ready for something like that." he told him softly, comforting his older brother in law.

Klepta: I could've helped him be ready for it. I could be his support. I could help him thru this. Doesnt he trust me? Doesnt he love me enough to tell me something this important...?

Ozzy looked up at him, reaching his hands up to cup his face. "You know that Edison doesn't think like us. Hell, he's still a child really, but now this has happened, he needs you more than ever, no matter how much he pushes you away and denies you. You got to be there for him, we all do."

Klepta: *bit his lip as he sobbed, then his eyes went a little dark* Its Big Mama

Thrax: What?

Klepta: Its Big Mama. I knw its her. Those thugs who attacked us couldnt hv come outta nowhere. She already knws we're here, n Majah did say its a matter of time before she strikes. Its her, I knw its her! She killed my baby! She killed MY CHILD!! I will make her PAY!!

"Hey now, calm down!" Ozzy said sternly, holding his face and making him look at him, his brows knitting together. "DON'T let this ruin the plan, okay? I know you're upset but losing it now will kill us all. Stick to the plan and we'll all make her pay."

Klepta: But...But its Big Mama! If she could do this to Eddie n my baby, there's no telling wat else could she do! U'd be dead too!

Thrax: Hey, I knw ur upset, n Frank knws I wanna get bk at her too for doing this. Its my would-be nephew/niece for Frank's sake. U think I'm not upset too? I wanna slaughter her just as much as u do! I still want to aftr wat she made Majah do to Oz. Bt we can't go off barging like this. This is just wat she would've wanted us to do: go charging at her at our most vulnerable state n hv us all in her platter. Eddie would be dead too! Do u want tht?!

Klepta: But...But...

"Come on, Klepta. What's more important right now? Getting back at Big Mama or making sure that Eddie's okay? Because right now, he needs us more than ever, he needs YOU more than ever." Ozzy said before he gave him a hug and pulled away, giving that little grin of his that said 'you know I'm right'.

Klepta: *managed to make a small smile thanks to Oz's infectious grin, then the adrenaline had worn off n he realized he still hadn't treated his wounds inflicted on him by Edison n was getting a little dizzy frm the loss of blood*

Thrax: Yo, bro, u dont look too good *his cheek tht got slashed also started to bleed out now tht the tension was gone*

Ozzy blinked before he quickly reached out, pulling the bigger virus close to hold him up. "Hey, maybe we should get those wounds sorted. You ain't looking so good." he said, looking to Thrax and nodding. "You too." he said before he helped Klepta back to the trailer.

Thrax: *felt the bleeding n touched his cheek, seeing blood* Oh crap, I forgot abt this one

Klepta: *just let himself be manhandled as he was led into the trailer n sat on the dining lounge*

I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 200

Thrax: *heard the commotion wen the trailer van door was slammed open, n one look at the whimpering Edison n he knew wat was going on* Oh fuck...

Ozzy came out of the bedroom when he heard Edison's wail, his eyes widening at the blood covered viruses. "What happened?!" he called out, rushing over to help though he froze in place as a spike shot out. He slowly looked to his shoulder where the spike stuck out, swallowing hard. "... Shit..."

Edison was out of control, his mind and body not set out for this loss. Klepta had already been stuck with so many spikes as Edison wailed again. His mind already gone.

Klepta: Eddie, Eddie, shhh~ Can someone help me out here?! We're losing it!!

Thrax: Ah, crap. Alright, hang in there, baby *held onto Oz's shoulder n pulled him out of the spike as gentle bt as quickly as he could* Go get the twins. We need all the help we can get. U watch the kids, OK?

Klepta; *tries reli hard to calm Edison dwn, adrenaline kicking in as he withstood more of the spikes stabbing thru him, his whole body riddled with holes*

Ozzy hissed out as the spike was pulled out, his shoulder bleeding as he placed his hand over it. No, he could handle this. It wasn't too deep. Nodding, he turned and rushed off to get the twins, informing them of what was happening and stayed with the kids as he cleaned and fixed his shoulder.

Edison wasn't listening, still freaking out as more blood spilled from him. He hit out at Klepta, spikes shapening, another shooting out as Thrax tried to get close, cutting his cheek as it just missed impaling his eye.

Thrax: Ahh, fuck!! *winced at the slash on his cheek, bt now was not the time* We gotta calm him dwn, man! Where r the twins??

Rodeo: Hai, hai! We're here, we're...Na-Nandateyunda (wat the hell)?? *sees the blood btwn Edison's legs* Ma...Masaka... (is it)?!

Rouge: Now is not the time, ottoto-chan! *elongated the claw of his forefinger n nicked Edison's neck, injecting a sort of venom tht has a bit of a calming effect, like a sedative*

Edison wailed and snarled, spikes ending up in walls, furnature, everywhere they could. Though, when he felt the knick, he attacked at Klepta, punching him hard in the face before his arm went limp, his body going limp as the spikes slowly slipped back in.

Klepta: *cringed hard at the punch, bt didnt retaliate as he watched the sedative work its effect on Edison. He cradles the still conscious bt calmed Edison in his arms n carried him to the bed* Its OK, Eddie, its OK, I'm here. I'm here

Thrax: *went to remove Edison's pants n chked on him, n he could tell frm the amt of blood the baby was not going to make it. In fact, as he looked dwn at the opening tht appeared btwn Edison's balls n anus, it was dilating, getting ready to expel the dead fetus out*

Rodeo: *covered his mouth in shock at the sight of it as he shook his head at Klepta*

Even though he was sedated, Edison was breathing rather heavily, still seeming to panic but his body had been calmed. He trembled as he was laid down, shaking his head as his pants were removed and they checked on him, his hands clenching lightly on the bed. He felt sick, so sick.

Thrax: He's gonna hv to push. It's too late...

Klepta: No! No, its not too late! U gotta save the baby! U gotta...

Thrax: KLEPTA!! *shouted at him to shut him up, then sighed n shook his head* Its too late. His body is already beginning to expel it. Its too late

Rodeo: *whimpered, feeling so sorry for Edison, as Rouge wrapped an arm ard him*

Edison trembled on the bed, struggled to keep his eyes open as he whimpered, shaking his head as he tried to clench his body, feeling something pressing down on that new opening. He didn't know what was going on, but he didn't like it, it hurt, it hurt his body, his chest, his heart. He wanted it to stop.

Klepta: *bit his lip till it bled. He couldnt believe this was happening. He wanted to hv a life with Edison, to hv children with him, bt now none of tht was happening. He had lost something before he evn knew it was there. Shutting his eyes tight to hold bk his tears, he held Edison close n whispered* U hv to do it, mein liebe. U hv to push

Edison managed to get out a soft, distressed noise. He didn't want to push, pushing hurt, made him feel sick, it wasn't good. He shook his head again, trembling, tears sliding down from his eyes. He didn't want this, this wasn't meant to be happening. Though, he couldn't hold back any longer, his body was forcing him to expell the dead fetus, muscles contracting, causing more blood and goo to spill out of him as the tiny form began to slid out of him.

Klepta: Pls...Pls, u hv to... *whispered close to him* Ich liebe dich ... Ich liebe dich so sehr, also bitte ... tut mir so leid, mein Bruder ... Bitte tun Sie dies für mich ... (I love you...I love you so much, so please...I'm so sorry, my brother...Please do this for me...) *hushed n eased him as he could feel the younger virus's body tensed frm the contraction*

Thrax: Just one more push, Eddie, n it'll be all ovr *held Edison's thighs up a little to ease the transition*

Edison whimpered and trembled, shaking his head as he hid his face against Klepta, feeling his legs being pushed up. There was nothing he could do, nothing to stop it. Wiithout his permission, his body began to push the fetus out of his chute, torturously slow. It was so small, not even fully developed yet as the pile of blood and sack spilled onto the bed between his legs.

Thrax: *caught the fetus in the pile of towels he managed to slid under Edison's butt wen he was examining him. With a gentle pull, the cord n the aftrbirth came out as well as he wrapped the fetus up in the towel* U...wanna see it...? *holding it up to Klepta n Edison*

Klepta: *took the bundle with shaky hands n peered into it. It was not fully developed, bt it already had some inkling of a facial features, n the skin was slowly hving a hue the same colour of his skin. To a normal person, it would be the most disgusting thing ever, bt Klepta had nvr seen something so beautiful...n so tragic*

Edison lay on the bed, trembling, not moving as he just cried silently, his lower body covered in gunk and blood. He felt sick, depressed, he didn't want to be here right now. He gave a soft whimper, turning his head away from everyone, feeling so ashamed.

Klepta: *bit his lip as he watched Edison shutting himself up. He kissed him on the cheek before carrying the bundle out of the trailer van n past Oz, going to the bkyard to bury the child*

Thrax: *turns to the twins* Clean Eddie up, give him some fresh clothes n all tht. I'll go chk on Klep

*the twins nodded as they moved to give Edison a spit bath n dress him up in fresh jammies, carefully moving him to a clean bed before taking off the sheets to be cleaned*

Edison didn't move at all, he just let them get on with it. When he was put in the bed, he turned on his side and curled up, shutting out the world.

I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 199

Klepta: *was lying dwn on the dining sofa to get his shut eye wen he heard Edison's footsteps, n opened his eyes* Eddie? U alright?

Edison looked up, a piece of bread hanging out of his mouth as he gave a little nod to him. He turned, going back to getting himself something to eat.

Klepta: U seem to be pretty hungry, I thought u had a pretty big breakfast this morning *sat up with a concerned look on his face*

"Eh? Ah... yes, Hy, uh... Hy guess Hy'm chust... very hungry." Edison said, his English seeming more broken than usual as he piled up a plate of food.

Klepta: U can still speak German to me, u knw *noticed the broken English bt kept quiet abt tht* U want me to get u some more food?

Edison looked up at him, nodding to him, looking around for some more food. He was feeling so hungry, he just wanted to eat. Maybe something... sugary?

Klepta: *could tell tht he wanted something sugary n took his hand* C'mon. I'll take u out to eat. I saw some plc which has great cakes, we can eat there

Edison seemed hesitant to go out, but the mention of cakes was too tempting. He nodded to him and tightened his hand on him, ready to follow him.

Klepta: *smiled n led him out, making sure they werent being conspicuous before making their way towards the cake house he was talking abt* Here we r, Gluten Glucose Cake House. Nice ring to it, eh?

Edison looked up, his eyes widening, able to smell the sweet scent coming from the cake house. "Ja!" he said, trying to not sound too excited.

Klepta: C'mon, lets go in, my treat *led him inside n brought him to the display counter, which had a wide assortment of cakes*

Edison rushed to the counter, looking over all the cakes, chewing on his lip. God, he wanted them all.

Klepta: *grins at Edison's reaction, n went to the counter* Let us hv one of each, pls

Worker: *nodded n got one of each cake into the tray, till they had to fill two trays of it*

Edison's mouth was nearly watering. He couldn't help it, even without his current situation, he was weak to sugary things.

Klepta: *carried the trays to a nearby seat, ordered a couple of drinks to accompany the food* C'mon, help urself *sipped at his tea, which is pretty much the only thing he ordered for himself*

Edison didn't need to be told twice as he began stuffing his face, starting with one slice and stuffed it in his mouth, getting crumbs all around his mouth but he didn't care.

Klepta: *shook his head* U reli eat like a baby. Slow dwn, ppl r watching *takes a napkin n wipes Edison's mouth clean*

Edison looked up at him for a second before going back to eating like he didn't even hear him. God, he was hungry. Why was he so hungry? Why wouldn't he stop being hungry?

Klepta: Slowly, Eddie, seriously, I dont want u to choke *pushed the ice soda he ordered for Edison to him* Here, wash it dwn with this

Edison barely stopped to drink, grabbing the soda and picking it up with both hands, taking a big gulp. When he pulled away, he gasped out, panting heavily. "A-ah... sorry..."

Klepta: *chuckles* It's OK. U seemed like u've been starved forevr or something. U OK there? I'm worried abt u

"Hy... uh..." Edison mumbled before he frowned to himself before he spoke again. "Traurig, ich errate, dass ich nicht wirklich viel und gegessen habe... Sie wissen, zuckrige Dinge machen mich gehe ein kleines... verrückt." [Sorry, I guess I've not really been eating much and... you know, sugary things make me go a little... crazy.] he spoke in his native tongue, sounding much more confident in speaking to his brother, since his English had been failing recently.

Klepta: *nodded understandingly, since his understanding of German is pretty decent* I see, bt just dont ovrdo it. I dont want u to get an upset stomach. U knw how I feel wen ppl dear to me get hurt *leans his forehead gently against him*

Edison nodded slowly at him, licking his lips before drinking more of the soda. "Ja." he mumbled before he went back to his cakes, trying to eat slower.

Klepta: *smiled, then caressed his cheek a little before going off to the counter to order another helping of evrything for Edison*

Edison purred a little before he finished up his cakes. He looked up, looking around the place, licking the cream from his lips. "Huh..." he mumbled softly, watching his brother.

Klepta: *brought the new orders to the table for him* Enough for u, mein bruder?

"Ja!" Edison said quite happily, starting to eat the extra treats.

Klepta: *watches him eat, smiling gently at him* I totally look forward to the day we defeat Big Mama, then we can be together forever without worrying abt her anymore

Edison swallowed, looking up at him, tilting his head with a frown. "Hy... hope it quick..." he said slowly, nodding before he ate more.

Klepta: U don't look like u look forward to be with me *gave a small pout*

"Nein, hy am... chust..." Edison bit his lip, looking up at his brother. "Vill be better... ven over..."

Klepta: U mean wen dis whole war is over? Yeah, ur right. I'm gonna get some for da other bros n Oz. finish up n we can leave *gets up to choose some cakes for take out*

Edison nodded and quickly finished up his cakes, finishing off his drink before he moved to get up and head over to his brother.

Klepta: *brought the bags of cakes out n led Edison out da shop to da direction of their trailer van, wen out of da blue, they were tackled by a bunch of thug-looking muscle cells*

Edison gasped out, slamming into a wall at the force, gritting his teeth before he pushed himself away, stumbling, hissing out in German.

Klepta: Wat the...?! *flares out his plasma hands n started lunging at them*

*the muscle cells were no spring chicken as they dodged n gave a few blows, then one of them made their way to Edison, gripping him with no problem n flung him against da big dumpster case with one hard blow*

Edison let his spikes snap out, ready  to defend himself, slashing at them until the big guy came over. A sharp, pained cry left him as he slammed into the dumpster, his eyes going wide as he reached down. Why did his stomach hurt so bad...?

Klepta: *heard Edison's cry n saw him starting to bleed btwn his legs, his eyes widened as he began to comprehend, then started seeing red as he was bent for da kill, tearing n slashing at the cells till there was none left*

Edison held his stomach, trembling as he slowly slid to his knees, his hand going between his legs, trying to stop the bleeding. "Nein... nein... NEIN!" he cried out, spikes shooting out all over his body.

Klepta: *by the time his mind cleared, there was nothing left bt shreds n goo of the cells, he then heard Edison screaming n made towards him, carrying him close* It's ok, bruder, everything is gonna be ok, I'm right here, mein liebe, I'm right here *made a mad dash toward da trailer van with Edison in his arms*

Edison freaked out when he was touched, hitting bloodied hands against Klepta, sounding so distressed  as spikes clawed into his skin. He couldn't help it, there was a strange instinct building inside of him, to attack, defend, even off himself for what had been done to him, he couldn't live knowning that he had killed the growing cells inside of him.

Klepta: *didnt reli mind him being attacked, as his mind was friggin' racing, thinking abt how he could've missed the signs. The hunger, the morning sickness, the constant need to rest n sleep...He felt like he deserved being beaten up like this as he held Edison close* Shh, shh, shh, its OK, mein liebe. Shh...We'll fix this, its not too late...its not... *though he sounded more like he was trying to convince himself*

I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 198

*the scenery soon changed as they were closing in to the brain area, nearing their destination*

Thrax: *gently pulled Oz close* Try to keep outta sight, baby. We dont wanna attract too much attention, esp frm Big Mama

Ozzy looked up at Thrax, frowning a little. "Yeah, I guess. I was just curious. It really is different up here."

Thrax: U've been at the brain a few times bk in Frank n other plcs, they all pretty much seem the same to me, stuck-up posh setting

"They may be the same, but in a way they're different. I just can't get over what it's like up here." Ozzy said before moving to sit down.

Thrax: Heh, I thought living the posh rich life with me bk in Frank would've gotten u used to those uppity types by now *sat nxt to him, wrapping his arm ard the cell's waist*

"No way. I was never used to it back there, I hated it, man. Being all rich and stuck up, ain't got nothing on me." Ozzy said before he stretched out, slight muscles being flashed and tensed.

Thrax: Heh, well, I wouldnt say its a bad thing, bt ur right. Being sad n poor sure got its uppers *grins as he fingered at the muscles, testing how toned it was*

"Hey, I was poor, but I was never sad! Sure, I wanted to get somewhere with my job, but I was happy just going with the flow." Ozzy told him with a huff before he blinked, unconsciously flexing his muscles when the other touched them.

Thrax: At least u did better than me wen I was on the run *held Oz closer n started inspecting the muscles* Mmmh, the training has done u quite nicely *ran his tongue at the toned part of Oz's shoulder*

"Yeah, well, I wasn't a virus back then." Ozzy said before he grunted in surprise. "Hey, down boy, put it away already. We're in front of the family!" he huffed at him before he flicked his cheek.

Thrax: *purred, barely feeling the lick* So? Its not like they're watching. The twins r busy with their twins, n Eddie is nowhere to be seen, n Klep is busy driving *groped at his chest*

Ozzy grunted and reached up, gripping at his wrist. "Hng, you can't tell me you're really into me being toned, right?"

Thrax: Well, I still like u as u r, bt u look slightly better now toned. At least I dont hv to worry breaking u wen I drive u into the bed *grins deviously as he copped a feel*

Ozzy blinked before his face heated up, punching the other in the arm. "Shut up about that!" he huffed at him, biting his lip as he felt those hands groping at him.

Thrax: *chuckles deviously as he took Oz's chin, turning him to face him n gave him a deep kiss, his other hand gently feeling him up*

Ozzy grunted and squirmed around, his cheeks glowing as he gripped at the other's wrists, trying to resist those groping hands.

Thrax: *did the tongue dance he n Oz knws vry well, continuing to grope abt him, his hands flicking at sensitive plcs he knew vry well where*

Ozzy squirmed and grunted against the kiss, gripping at his hands tighter as he trembled, a muffled moan escaping him.

Thrax: *licked his lips as his hand reached dwn into the pants to gently stroke him, laying hickies on Oz's neck, purring*

Ozzy gasped out, his hips jerking in surprise as he turned his head away. "Thrax, stop, someone's going to see!"

Thrax: Well, we're just gonna hv to be quiet, dont we? *carried Oz n brought them to their bunk bed, pulling the curtains n continued kissing him to muffle him before his hand started roaming ard the cell's cock n ass*

Ozzy's eyes widened as he was lifted up, shaking his head at him. "Thrax, no!" he hissed at him as his face grew hotter. He squirmed around as he was put on the bed, gasping and grunting against his lip, hands trying to still the virus'

Thrax: C'mon, u knw u want it bad *started leaning dwn n licked Oz's rod, sucking lightly at the head to tease him n get him hard in no time*

Ozzy gasped out, gripping at his hair as he shook his head, biting his lip harder, doing his best to keep quiet. If he made any noise, he was sure that the other's would hear him, the van wasn't that big. "Y-you ass..."

Thrax: No, its UR ass right now *grins as he continued to blow him, occasionally licking at Oz's pucker ass*

Ozzy jerked and squirmed, his eyes squeezing shut as one hand tried to push his head away while the other covered his mouth.

Thrax: *the cell's hand didnt bother him, as he continued to blow Oz, massaging his balls with one hand n slowly entering his claw into Oz's ass to stretch n prepare him*

Ozzy gasped out against his hand, his hips arching up with a groan. "Fu... Thrax!" he hissed quietly at him.

Thrax: *grinned inwardly as he kept blowing him, his claw pushing in deeper to brush against the spot, humming, sending vibrations onto the cock*

Ozzy gasped out again, his back arching more as he jerked up into his mouth, pressing his hand tighter to his mouth.

Thrax: *licked his lip as he pulled off with a pop, then leans in to lube Oz up using his tongue action as he tongue-fucked Oz's ass*

Ozzy gasped and bit his lip, unable to hold back a moan of surprise as he felt that tongue inside of him. "O-oh Frank damn it!"

Thrax: Mmm, feels good, doesnt it, baby? *tongue-fucks him some more, pushing in deeper until he was brushing against the spot, making him quite wet n ready*

Ozzy was only able to reply with a moan as he bucked up and trembled, his toes curling and legs spreading.

Thrax: Mmm, I'm gonna come in now. Brace urself *took himself out n prodded it at the pucker before pushing into him slowly, hissing as he let the cell feel his evry ridge*

Ozzy whimpered before he gasped and groaned, feeling him pushing inside of him, his toes curling tighter. "F-fu!"

Thrax: *grins as he waited for Oz to adjust before he slowly started moving in n out, letting him feel the ridges rubbing within him*

Ozzy kept his hand covering his mouth, his cheeks burning hotly while his other hand gripped at the virus' shirt. "Hng... nnn... ngh!"

Thrax: I can remedy tht *takes Oz's hand off n kissed him deeply to muffle his moans, continuing to fuck him, reaching closer n closer to the spot*

Ozzy eagerly kissed him back to keep quiet, not wanting to be heard as this thighs pressed against his sides.

Thrax: *grinned inwardly as he continued fucking him, hitting da spot dead on n moaned a little wen the muscles clenched ard him as the spot was hit*

Ozzy nearly cried out against those lips as the virus hit that spot inside him that made him see starts. He bucked and trembled, his back arching and muscles tensing the more he hit it.

Thrax: *fucks him with more vigor, his ridges rubbed hard against the inner muscles, aiming harder n harder at the spot, trying to hold bk his impending orgasm as its been quite a while since their last sex*

Ozzy felt himself leaking as the other continued to move inside of him, his body trembling against his. He couldn't hold back for much longer, he already felt like he was going to explode.

Thrax: *could tell the cell was going to lose it n reaches his hand dwn to stroke his cock aligning with his thrusts, keep hitting the spot to get him to come first*

It didn't take long for the cell to spill. He was soon arching and crying out against the virus' lips, clenching around him as he spilled his mess over his clawed hand.

Thrax: *groaned at the clench n finally lost it as he pulled out n came all ovr himself n the cell's middle, biting his lip to keep himself frm roaring out his climax*

Ozzy trembled and tensed for a moment before he slowly slumped and relaxed under him, panting softly.

Thrax: Mmmhh... *groaned a little n rest on top of Oz, careful not to put too much of his weight on him n licked a stray sweat on Oz's cheek* Te quiero, mi bebe

Ozzy let out his own little groan, tilting his head a little. "Yeah..." he mumbled, his cheeks still flushed deeply. Damn the virus and his ways.

Thrax: *hugged the cell close, slowly drifting to sleep, while Klepta had already reached their destination bt decided to park somewhere secluded first so he could take a break before the move*

Ozzy soon crashed with him for some much deserved rest. Edison soon came out of his own room, heading out to get something to eat, feeling mighty hungry all of a sudden.

I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 197

*soon the day came for them to start moving to their new hideout. The gang took all their belongings n erased evry trace tht they've evr stayed in this mansion, packing it into the van. Edison was told to stay in the van n watch the kids while the others do the heavy lifting*

Edison grumbled, sitting at the table with his laptop, typing away, the two twins wrapped up in their little chairs sleeping while Amber played with Nessie and Chico.

Nessie: *yapped happily with Amber, n wen Wolf took ovr to play with her, he trotted towards Edison, peeking at his laptop, curious at wat he's doing*

Edison blinked, looking to Nessie and reached out, ruffling his head. "Vhat up pup?"

Nessie: *yapped, wagging his tail, still peeking at the laptop*

Edison blinked, noticing him peeking and turned the laptop away. "Nein, not for pups"

Nessie: *pawed at the laptop n accidentally turned on the sound, n it was sounds of an S&M session*

Thrax: *just so happen to come in with some more things* Well, arent we raunchy there?

"Nein! Schtop dot!" Edison huffed at the pup before his eyes widened, looking up as he heard Thrax and quickly slammed the laptop shut. "Hy... he... he clicked on something!" he insisted, pointing to Nessie.

Thrax: *raised a brow* Huh, right *ruffles Nessie's head n Amber's* So, Klep still doesnt knw, huh?

Edison bit his lip, his ears lowering, looking away from the other with a frown. "Can ve leave dis?"

Thrax: Cant help it. I dont want to see Klep upset. U guys r still my bros aftr all *puts the stuff into its plc*

"Hy know, but schtill, none of your business... now leave it." Edison said, his eyes narrowing a little.

Thrax: *rolled his eyes* Fine. Watevr. Ur funeral *went out to help out the others to move in more stuff into the trailer van*

Klepta: *came to chk on the engine n the wheels* Evrything OK there, Eddie?

Edison blinked and looked up, the spines around his knuckes sliding back in. "Huh? ah, yes, Hy'm okay..."

Klepta: U sure? U wanna hv a drink or something to munch on, or lie dwn while u wait for us?

Edison shook his head, rubbing at his knuckles. "Nein, Hy'm fine. How much longer?" he asked, looking up at his brother with a small frown, trying to forget Thrax's words.

Klepta; Just a few more trinkets to bring in n we're all set. U just sit tight, OK, mein bruder? *kissed Eddie's forehead before going bk to chking the vehicle*

*the twins came in with their family, Rodeo carrying Amber on his shoulders n Rogue carrying the twins in his arms, Wolf following at their heels*

Edison nodded, watching his brother before he sighed and rubbed at the back of his neck, fiddling with the hood strings of his hoodie as he looked down at himself. As long as he wore baggy clothes and kept hiding his scent, he was sure Klepta wouldn't know. He still didn't believe he was pregnant.

Wolf: *picked up the scent along with his father Nessie n yapped, joining Nessie in sniffing his middle to make sure*

Edison eyes widened as he stumbled back, shaking his head at them as he pushed their heads away. "A-ah, come on, you two, Hy have nothing for you."

*the dogs were still too interested in his middle, now tht they've picked up the scent of a new little one, n was in the verge of catching Klepta's attention*

Thrax: *comes in with the last of things n Oz behind him* Yo, mutt. Get outta there, time to go *picks Nessie up n shooes Wolf bk to his family*

Ediso gulped before he quickly pushed passed everyone and headed outside to the trailer, his heart pounding in his chest. He was so scared, even the dogs seem to think so. No! He wasn't, it was just fat, he just had to work out, it was too much sugar, that's all

Klepta: *had finished gearing up the vehicle n was ready to start the trailer* Eddie? U OK? We hv to go now *a hint of concern in his voice*

Edison climbed in as he nodded, rubbing at his face. "Ja, ja, Hy'm fine... chust tired..." he said, waving him off as he headed to the sleeping area.

Klepta: Alright *whips out the map Majah gave him n revved the engine* Evryone on board?

Twins: Hai~!

Thrax: Yup, all aboard

"So where are we heading now?" Ozzy asked, stretching a little, drinking the drink he had gotten.

Klepta: We're heading off to where Majah said our new hideout is. I've set the coordinates, we'll be there in abt half an hour

Thrax: I just hope he's right abt tht plc, gotta admit its a little close to Big Mama

Ozzy nodded and frowned a little. "But he's never steered us wrong before, has he." he mumbled, though he was a little nervous himself.

Thrax: Hate to admit it, bt yeah, he's been right so far. He better do us right this time

Klepta: We'll knw wen things get sour. Lets pray its not *drove dwn, following the direction n the coordinates*

"Yeah, let's hope he's still on our side..." Ozzy mumbled and frowned, getting up before he looked out of the window.

I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 196

Klepta: *had just finished fixing the van n came bk into the room he shared with Edison n made his way to the bathroom to shower*

Edison was still curled up in bed, a hand resting on his stomach as he slept lightly, still able to hear what was going on around him.

Klepta: *showered off the dirt n gunk for abt an hour aftr his van-fixing, then came out n saw a small movement frm Edison* Eddie? U still awake?

Edison's ear gave a twitch, hearing the other before he frowned a little. "Mmm, vat ist it?"

Klepta: Naw, sorry, mein bruder. I was afraid I might woken u or anything, coz ur fidgeted a little

"Nein... Hy vas chust resting..." Edison mumbled, though he kept his eyes closed, not moving from his comfortable position.

Klepta: *finished drying his body bt kept the towel ard his hair to towel-dry it, then took the map Majah gave them n sat on the bed nxt to Edison to study it*

"How ist van?" Edison mumbled at him, still not moving from his position.

Klepta: *reached his free hand to stroke Edison's hair as he continued studying it* The van's good. A couple of snags here n there, bt I managed to fix it, n got rid of the wear n tear frm our previous journeys

Edison nodded slowly, relaxing under the touch. "Hy glad... ve leave tomorrow, ja?" he mumbled, giving up on trying to speak English properly, it was too hard to remember.

Klepta: Yup, we're leaving tomorrow. Bt if ur still not feeling well, its OK. U dont hv to do the heavy lifting. Which reminds me, u still under the weather? *didnt mind tht Edison was speaking bad English; he understood him wen he spoke German just fine*

"Ja, ja..." Edison mumbled, curling up a little tighter. "Udder weather." he continued quietly, rubbing at his face a little before he relaxed again.

Klepta: Wat is it ur hving, reli? Flu? Stomach bug? Or something else? *continues to stroke his hair as he finished studying the map*

"Uh..." Edison tensed up at that. "Chust... not feel so gud, a little sickly and... tired." he mumbled, curling up a little tighter. "Hy be fine."

Klepta: Alright. If ur sure tho *puts away the map n lay dwn the bed, spooning Edison, hugging him close* I just worry abt u

"Hy am..." Edison mumbled, blinking as Klepta curled around him, nodding slowly. "Hy be fine..."

Klepta: *kissed the nape of Edison's neck* Ich liebe dich, mein bruder (I love u, my brother)

"Ich liebe dich..." Edison mumbled back, one of his hands resting on Klepta's, rubbing and stroking at it.

Klepta: *smiled* I hope this nightmare btwn us n Big Mama will be ovr, so tht we can be together finally

"Ja... ja... Hy hope so, Hy vant to stop fighting." Edison mumbled, closing his eyes once again.

Klepta: Me too. I'm so tired of fighting n running now. Lets just hope it'll be ovr soon *sighed n closed his eyes, slowly drifting*

"Ja... then Hy go back to computers." Edison said with a small chuckle, nuzzling into the pillow.

Klepta: *chuckles a little n poked gently on Edison's side at his comment before falling asleep*

Edison grunted at him before soon falling asleep himself.

I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 195

Klepta: *was already getting started with fixing the van before their trip to their new hideout* Huh, still hv time for a bit of lovey-dovey, I see?

Ozzy looked up, blushing darkly when they had been caught before he quickly buried himself in the trenchcoat, hiding away from the embarrassment he was now feeling.

Thrax: Like u dont catch up with Eddie wen we're not looking

Klepta: Eddie's been under the weather these days, havent been lovey-dovey with him for a while

Thrax: Huh, I wonder why *his tone was a little sarcastic bt he promised he wouldnt tell as he carried Oz into the house*

Ozzy heard this and nudged Thrax in the side, staying hidden in the trench coat. When they were in the house, he peeked out, looking around and grumbling. "I want my shower!"

Thrax: Yes, yes, baby. I want it too. Almost there to our room. Now dont be cranky or u'll let evryone knw wat we've been doing

"... Ugh." Ozzy huffed at him, picking flower petals from his body and random bits of grass. "Never again are we doing it outside."

Thrax: Why not? *picked petals off his own body* U seem to enjoy it vry much *grins as he put Oz dwn on the bed n went to fill the tub*

"Well... shut up! I don't want to be covered in dirt and stupid flowers!" Ozzy called after him as he was set on the bed, falling back on it with a hufd.

Thrax: Tht's the best part abt hving dirty sex, dont u think? *grins as he finished filling the tub* Water's ready, baby

"... I hate you." Ozzy grumbled before he got up off the bed and pulled the coat around him, heading into the bathroom.

Thrax: I love u too, baby *took his hand n led him into the tub, undressing himself at the same time*

Ozzy sighed, dropping the coat before he climbed into the water, sighing and groaning softly.

Thrax: *joined him in the tub, cuddling him close* Mmm~ Nice, warm water. Hopefully our new home would also be as comfy as this

"Who knows. Though it might not be... we have to make sure we're prepare for that..." Ozzy grumbled, slumping back against the other with a sigh.

Thrax: *held him close n nodded* Yeah...Abt tht...Makes me wonder if it were right to evn drag u into this...

"What? What are you talking about?" Ozzy asked, turning his head to look up at him now.

Thrax: Naw, wat I meant is tht...well, this is btwn me, my bros n Big Mama. Ur technically not supposed to be in all this. Its a grudge war of our past, not urs. N now we dragged u into this...Its not right, is all

"I'm still family though, even if it's not blood, I'm still family now, and she's threatened my life, too." Ozzy said, frowning up at the other.

Thrax: Tht's the thing. She threatened ur life wen she had no business doing so wen its just btwn us. We dragged u into this. If we havent, it would've still be just btwn us *sighed n massaged the bridge of his nose*

"So what? Even if I wasn't dragged into it, I'd still join in because you guys are my family. You're the only ones I have..." Ozzy said softly, looking down now.

Thrax: I knw, so u r to me *held him close* I love u so much *leans in to kiss him deeply*

Ozzy gasped at the sudden kiss, slowly kissing him back. Though, he soon pulled back, flushing a little.

Thrax: *wanted to kiss him more, bt since he pulled away, he just pecked at his lips slowly*

"I don't want to get... well... in the mood again, you know." Ozzy mumbled at him, his cheeks warming up some.

Thrax: I knw, I just wanna kiss u, is all. I promise, nothing else *leans in to kiss him again, a little deeper, caressing his cheek n hair*

Ozzy flushes before he slowly kisses back, resting his hands on his chest.

Thrax: *continues kissing, doing the tongue dance they were so well-rehearsed in, his arms wrapping ard the cell's waist, managed to whisper "Te quiero, mi bebe" btwn kisses*

Ozzy grunts softly, kneading at the other's chest as he kissed back slowly, small noises leaving him from the passionate kiss.

Thrax: *kissed the cell till his lips were pretty swollen before he let go, a trail of saliva following, licking his lips as he grinned* Mmm, delicious as always, baby

Ozzy gasped for air, shuddering as he slowly licked his swollen lips. "You just can't keep you're hands off me..."

Thrax: Of course not, ur my baby. I can nvr keep my hands off my baby. If I do, someone else will hv their hands all ovr u. I wouldnt want tht *grins as he started soaping himself*

Ozzy rolled his eyes and huffed a little, his cheeks warming up. "Like I'd let anyone touch me, I'm stronger now, I can kick ass." he said before lifting his arm to flex the muscle, showing off the more defined muscles now.

Thrax: *grins* Oh u can kick ass alright, u can kick ur ass to me *smacked Oz's ass gently, chuckling deviously*

Ozzy gasped out in surprise before he growled softly, glaring at the other before he suddenly tackled him into the water.

Thrax: *laughs as he was being tackled* Well, arent u raging to go again or something. Werent u going to clean up? *nudged Oz's cock with his knee a little*

"We're not having sex, I'm going to kick your ass!" Ozzy huffed at him before he grunted softly, feeling the knee against his crotch as he pinned the other down.

Thrax: *chuckles again* Well, if we're not hving sex, then u might as well get off me n start cleaning up

"Oh hell no, I am kicking your ass right here, right now!" Ozzy huffed at him, glaring at the other.

Thrax: *grins* Oh yeah? Well go ahead then, do it. I'll give u a handicap. I wont fight bk. Go ahead, do it *smiled dangerously, like one of those looks he gave Oz tht turned the cell on*

Ozzy felt his face heating up as he glared down at the other, quickly shaking his head before he sat up on him. "It's hard to fight you in the bath tub!"

Thrax: *chuckles* Right... *pushed him off him gently n continued soaping himself* R u gonna clean up or not? We're gonna hv to turn in early. Got a big day of moving ahead

"Just you wait." Ozzy grumbled at him before he turned away, starting to scrub at his own body to get clean.

Thrax: *grinned, then leaned in gently to kiss Oz's nape of neck before draining the tub n turning on the showerhead to rinse himself*

Ozzy papped him away before he soon climbed out of the tub and grabbed himself a towel, scrubbing himself down as he left the room.

Thrax: *finished his own n came out the bathroom aftr him, getting his jammies pants* U mad at me, baby?

"I told you I'm going to kick your ass, and I will!" Ozzy huffed at him, slipping that bandana around his neck before he pulled on a pair of sweat pants and a tank top.

Thrax: *looked a little bored, almost sad, evn, before he just sighed n climbed to bed, laying dwn, bk facing him, his hand unconsciously reached ovr to stroke Chico, seeming like he wasnt in a mood for argument, n perhaps a little pissed tht their lovey-dovey moment had to be killed ovr this petty paybk*

Ozzy looked over at him, grumbling a little before he debated whether to actually get in bed or not now. Giving up, he climbed in, sleeping on top of the covers though as he turned his back to Thrax and curled up, watching as Nessie came to lay beside the bed.

I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 194

"W-wha? You can't be serious!" Ozzy called out, squirming around in his arms, flushing deeply.

Thrax: Oh, yes I am *enters the secret garden amidst the trees n flowers, n went to the plc where the dead couple's swing was*

Ozzy flushed darkly and shook his head. "N-no, god! You pervert!"

Thrax: *grins n lay Oz on the grass, then started giving Oz hickies, his hands massaging n touching his sensitive spots*

Ozzy gasped out, squirming around under him, pushing at his shoulders. "S-someone might see us!"

Thrax: Who's gonna see us? The ghosts? We're a bit way frm the mansion n the trees r pretty thick here, no one's gonna see us *kissed Oz deeply as his hand started stroking the cell's cock*

Ozzy gasped and arched his back, moaning softly when the hand began to stroke him, those hands pushing now gripping at his shoulder.

Thrax: *stroke some more, moving to suckle his nipples in turn, flicking them with his tongue sensually*

Ozzy groaned and shook his head, his body trembling a little as he flushed deeply. "H-how are you always in the mood?" he huffed at him, soft pant leaving him.

Thrax: We're viruses, we infect n we breed, tht's how we r *grins as he moved his hand frm stroking to sliding his claw into Oz's hole, thrusting gently to prepare him*

"But... damn, it's ALWAYS..." Ozzy breathed out before he gasped out, his hips arching up as the claw suddenly pressed into him, a hand moving to cover his face. "S-spit!"

Thrax: Not always, I havent touched u since we did it in the bath, remember? I've been good *pushed in another claw to stretch him, thrusting in n out, barely brushing against his spot*

"That wasn't that long ago!" Ozzy groaned out, his head falling back as his legs shyly spread, his hips squirming around against those claws. "O-oh god..."

Thrax: *pushing in a little deeper, reli brushing against the spot, bt careful not to impale him, while licking teasingly at Oz's cock*

"A-ah!" Ozzy gasped out, his hips jerking again as his flush spread down his body. "D-damn it... it is still damn weird!" he moaned, his length twitching and throbbing.

Thrax: Yeah, bt u love it, admit it *pulls out his claws n replaced it with himself, pushing in n letting the cell feel evry ridge like he knws the cell loves it*

Ozzy panted when those fingers pulled out, his cheeks heating up before he soon groaned out again, his head falling back and his eyes squeezing shut. "Hnng!"

Thrax: Nnnhh...So tight. I can't believe u can still stay so tight... *waited to adjust before he started thrusting into him*

"Nnn... y-you always feel huge... Frank!" Ozzy groaned as he gripped at the grass under him, flushing and gasping as those hips moved.

Thrax: Well, I'll take tht as a compliment *leans in to kiss him deeply as he increased his pace, thrusting in deeper n deeper until he found the spot inside the cell*

Ozzy grunted and eagerly kissed the other back, his hands kneading against his shoulders before he gasped, biting on the other's lip when he thrusted inside of him.

Thrax: *smirked inwardly as he found tht spot frm Oz's ass clench n kept going, hitting it without fail, the ridges rubbing inside the cell like crazy*

Ozzy was soon withering and moaning under him, his arms wrapping tight around him as he hid his face in his neck. It was just too much for him.

Thrax: *groans evrytime Oz clenched hard ard his cock, spurring him to assault n abuse the spot more, both his hands pinching n twisting at Oz's nipples*

Ozzy whined and mewled into his neck, panting harshly as he bucked against him. Without warning, he bit down on his neck, nails dragging up his back.

Thrax: *groaned out loud at the bite n the scratches bt it only turned him on more as he almost folded the cell in half, tht position hitting the cell's spot so hard n accurate*

"Ah... ah... ah"! Ozzy panted out, whimpering as his toes curled, his length leaking onto his stomach.

Thrax: *groaned some more, mumbling something incoherent abt going to lose it before he quickly pulled off n came all ovr Oz's stomach n chest n got it all on himself*

Ozzy cried out, jerking and spilling over himself with Thrax, his cheeks flushing over darkly when he ended up spilling over his own face.

Thrax: *groaned as he calmed frm his high, then grinned as he leaned in to lick the come on his face* Mmm~ Ur great as usual *kissed the cell as well, letting him taste himself*

Ozzy panted hard and flushed, whining softly as he felt his face being licked, trying to glare at him but was too tired to.

Thrax: *grins at all the grass blades n flower petals stuck onto Oz's membrane coz of their sweat* Well, well, wat a pretty little flower u r, baby

Ozzy squirmed around a little, looking around in confusion before he flushed and grumbled, trying to get them off him.

Thrax: I think we're both due for a shower *grabbed his trenchcoat to wrap ard Oz, flowers n all n carried him bridal style out of the secret garden, making their way bk to the mansion*

I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 193

Thrax: *decided to take a walk at the secret garden, admiring it for one last time before they had to leave*

Ozzy sighed softly, resting in the living room with Nessie and Chico, watching some television, worrying himself.

Rodeo: *finally got all the kids to take a nap, seeing Oz in the living room n joined him* Ne, watcha watching?

Ozzy looked up with half lidded eyes, looking tired. "Hm? Oh, just some cartoons I found."

Rodeo: Haha, if Amber-chan were awake, she'd love these *sighed* Finally got her n my futago-chan (little twins) to sleep. Cant believe I'm now raising 3 kodomo-chan (little kids) at one go

"Yeah, that's a lot of kids man... can you deal with it?" Ozzy said, looking over to the other, resting back against Nessie.

Rodeo: Rouge-chan is getting more involved now, so I'm dealing wtih it pretty OK. Daijobu-ne, we had plenty training with Amber-chan

"Yeah, hopefully you can do it. Good luck to the both of you, I know I wouldn't be able to do it." Ozzy said, laughing softly.

Rodeo: Sa, u managed to babysit our big baby brother, didnt u? I'm sure u can handle a few kodomo-chan *grins*

"Big baby brother? You mean Thrax?" Ozzy asked before he laughed out loud and shook his head. "Heh, he was a huge ass at first, I could of killed him. Heck, I still sometimes could kill him, but... eh... I can deal with the butt head."

Rodeo: Ah, u could've, bt u didnt *tapped Oz's nose* So u do like our little ottoto-chan ne~?

Ozzy grunted and grumbled, rubbing his nose. "Yeah, I wasn't this strong before." he huffed at him before he blinked and chuckled a little. "They're cute, at least they haven't been screaming yet."

Rodeo: Yada, I dont mean my kodomo-chan, I meant my ottoto-chan. Our big baby brother Thrax-ottoto-chan *giggled* U still need to work on Japanese, ne~

Ozzy blinked before he scoffed and waved his hand at him. "Give me a break! I have to remember three different languages!" he huffed at him before he sighed. "And... I don't know, so much has happened between us..."

Rodeo: Sa, then hv u considered Thrax ottoto-chan to be ur danna (husband) wen u settle dwn?

"I... well, damn... I don't know, I've never really thought about that... Well, maybe when I was younger and... with a shecell, ya know?" Ozzy said, grinning sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his neck.

Rodeo: Ho~ Bt now tht ur older, u cant be just satisfied by a she-cell, can u? U need Thrax ottoto-chan's ochinchin (dick) ne~ *laughed*

Ozzy sputtered, his eyes widening in shock as his face flushed over. "W-what?! No! I don't need that!"

Rodeo: *LOL-ed* Hai, hai, Oz to-chan can only be satisfied by Thrax ottoto-chan's ochinchin ne~! *teased him with poke-attacks*

"What! No! Don't be stupid! I don't need that, it's him that needs me!" Ozzy huffed at him as he batted at the pokes

Rodeo: Ahahaha, u like Thrax ottoto-chan's ochinchin just as much as he likes urs anyways~ *continues to poke-attack him*

Thrax: *pulled at Rodeo's collar frm behind* Oi, u done teasing my baby now?

"Do not, do not, do no-uh..." Ozzy cut himself up, looking up in surprise when Thrax appeared. "Uh... hey, Thrax..."

Rodeo: Moh~ We're just fooling ard ne~ Party pooper

Thrax: Well u fooled ard enough. Dont u hv 3 spawns to look aftr?

Rodeo: *stuck his tongue out at him then poked Oz one last time before he left to chk on the kids*

Ozzy huffed and rubbed where he was poked, sitting himself back up and turning back to the television.

Thrax: *sat beside him* I was hoping u would've joined me at the secret garden, give it a last look before we leave

"Huh? Oh, sorry, Nessie wanted a cuddle." Ozzy said, glancing up at him.

Thrax: U could've brought him out with u. He needs the exercise *reach n put his arm ard Oz's shoulder as he flipped thru the channels*

"He wanted to relax and hey! I was watching that!" Ozzy huffed, glaring up at the virus.

Thrax: U were almost nodding off. Lets watch something more exciting *flipped to a channel tht somehow showed an X-rated porn-ish movie* Hmm, how did tht get there? *grins*

Ozzy blinked and looked back at the television, flushing deeply. "Hey, get tht off!"

Thrax: Nuh-uh, its getting to the good part *shows a scene where the hero n heroine were trying to kill each other, bt somehow ended tearing off each other's clothes n started snogging*

Ozzy groaned and reached up, covering his face, grumbling at him. "Idiot, Nessie doesn't need to see this!"

Thrax: Then shoo him out. Besides he wouldnt understand anyways *used his foot to nudge Nessie n Chico to shoo them*

Nessie huffed, picking up Chico before he saunted off, making Ozzy groan. "I was cuddling them, you jerk. Why can't you watch this crap upstairs?"

Thrax: Bcoz there is no TV upstairs, remember? This mansion is abandoned to begin with n the only working TV we can hook on is this one

"Ugh..." Ozzy huffed, crossing his arms and looking away. "Wanted to watch my cartoons..."

Thrax: Ur too old for cartoons *carried Oz n made him sit on his lap* Abt time u watch some adult stuff with me *grins as he tweaked Oz's crotch while they watched the sex scene btwn the hero n the heroine*

"I am not too old!" Ozzy huffed at him before he gasped out, squirming on the other's lap when he felt the grope. "Ass!"

Thrax: Oh, I see ass alright. Ur ass *grope at the cell's ass, licking his neck*

Ozzy gasped out, his eyes widening before he pushed the hand and his head away. "Oi! Stop that!"

Thrax: C'mon, u knw u want it *poked gently at Oz's crotch* Look at u, just seeing those guys snogging n ur already hard

Ozzy grunted and flushed, quickly closing his legs and covering himself up. "Shut up..."

Thrax: *kissed his neck some more, lowering the bandanna n leaving more hickies on his neck, as his hand reached under the pants to tease Oz's cock*

"H-hey, stop that! I mean it!" Ozzy snapped at him before he gasped out, gripping at the hand slipping into his pants. "Nnn! Someone could walk in and see!"

Thrax: So? Tht hasnt stopped us before bk in Frank *gripped at Oz's cock fully n started stroking him, his other hand reached under the cell's shirt to pinch his nipples*

Ozzy gasped out, his back arching away from him, his cheeks heating up as he shook his head at him, tugging at his hands. "Nnn... d-damn it, Thrax... what's gotten into you?"

Thrax: *nuzzled him* I just wanna be with u as much as I can...before... *hesitated to continue, his movements actually stopped for a second there*

Ozzy panted softly, squirming on his lap before he glanced up at him, a small frown on his face. "Hey, don't look like that, we're going to beat her..."

Thrax: I knw, bt I dont hv the luxury to be positive. We hv to be realistic too. Anything can happen *held Oz close*

"I know, but we can't be so pessimisstic, we need to try and stay somewhat positive..." Ozzy mumbled and sighed, resting against him.

Thrax: *smiled* Heh, I guess our pessimism n optimism rubbed off on each other, eh? *kissed his cheek, then his hand who was still under Oz's pants started teasing the cell's cock again*

"Yeah, yeah, whatever..." Ozzy grumbled at him before he gasped out, his back arching in surprise when the other started rubbing him again. "H-hey!"

Thrax: I nvr said I would stop *continued stroking as he turned Oz ard to kiss him deeply n suckling his nipples, pushing the clothes up n off Oz*

Ozzy gasped out, his back arching as he shook his head at him, squirming around against him. "Ngh! But... but..."

Thrax: Bt wat? Ppl might walk in? Then how abt somewhere private AND public at the same time? *carried Oz up bridal style, grinning deviously*

Ozzy panted, grunting softly, looking up at the other confused. "The hell? Where are you taking me?"

Thrax: To the secret garden, of course, like I wanted u to join me *carried him out of the mansion n made their way to the secret garden*

I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 192

Klepta: Well, since I'm mostly the designated driver, I guess I'll take tht *takes the map*

"So how far is it?" Ozzy asked as he looked up at Klepta, frowning a little.

"Ja, I vould like to know too." Edison spoke up, moving over to Klepta to look at the map.

Klepta: *lowered the map so evryone can see* Well, says here tht...Woah, its almost towards the brain area

Rouge: A-ra? Remember Majah-san said something abt Big Mama controlling the mayor-sama?

Thrax: Tht close, huh?

"Is that such a good idea to get THAT close?" Ozzy asked, looking over the map with a frown, blinking and looking up when Edison suddenly ran out.

Klepta: Well, I guess tht's wat Majah is planning to do, so tht she would least suspect it. She knws we're still terrified of her. Hang on *passes the map to Thrax n went to chk on Edison* Eddie? Eddie, wat's wrong?

Edison rushed into the bathroom, slamming the door behind him, locking it. "Nnn... Hym fine... chust ate... something bad." he called out through the door.

Klepta: U sure? U dont want me to help u out there? *sounded a little worried frm behind the door*

"Hy fine!" Edison called out, finally throwing up into the toilet, shuddering and holding his stomach. Hesitating, he soon tugged up his baggy hoodie, looking at his slightly swollen stomach, gulping. He was just getting fat, that's all... that's all it had to be.

Klepta: *wasnt reli buying it, bt he didnt push it either, he just waited outside the bathroom for Edison to be done*

Edison eventually flushed the toilet and washed himself up, soon leaving the bathroom, his hair slicked back with water.

Klepta: *seeing him coming out, a wave of relief washed ovr him as he instinctively reached ovr to wrap his arms ard him, cuddling him close*

"Hy told hyou Hy vas fine..." Edison told him softly as he rested his head against his chest, closing his eyes.

Klepta: I knw, bt I still worry, u knw. Ur my little bruder, as well as my lover. I hv the right to be worried *rubbed his bk to help ease him*

"Hy know, but dot need to... Hym fine." Edison told him, slowly wrapping his arms around his waist.

Klepta: *smiled* Want me to accompany u while u rest? *carried him as he brought him to the room*

Edison grunted as he was lifted up, huffing at him. "Hy am not a child!" he grumbled at him.

Klepta: I knw, bt I worry. Just indulge me, OK? *kissed his forehead n laid him in bed, lying dwn beside him, not releasing frm his hold*

Edison grumbled a little before he sighed and squirmed around, getting himself comfortable on his side. "Hyou a big dummy..." he mumbled at him, letting his eyes close.

Klepta: *chuckles* Yeah, I'm a big dummy for u *kissed his forehead n watched him sleep*

"Nnn... dummy..." Edison mumbled again before he soon fell asleep, curling up.

I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 191

Rodeo: *had finally finished feeding his twins n was now feeding Amber, in which she was suckling hungrily, gripping tight onto Rodeo's shirt*

Rouge: *hears the knock on the door n answered it* Ah, Oz to-chan. Doushita? (wat is it)

"Uh, hey. You guys need to come downstairs. Majah is here and he wants to tell us something." Ozzy said, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly.

Rouge: Hai, hai, ikuso (we're coming) *settled the baby twins into their crib n led Rodeo*

Rodeo: *decided to go dwn anyway, cradling the nursing Amber close, he didnt want to miss out the meeting*

Thrax: *knocked the door n peeked in* Yo, Eddie. Majah's here. Got something to tell us. Prolly a plan or something. He wants us all dwn

Ozzy followed behind the twins, chewing on his lip, sighing a little.

Edison was curled up on the bed in the dark, his back to Thrax. "Hy dot vant to... go down."

Thrax: C'mon. U wanna be part of the plan, right? We're not abt to keep u in the dark. If u dont want Klep to find out, at least show up dwnstairs. U dont evn hv to listen

Edison sighed before he got to his feet, stumbling a little before he made his way out of the room, his hair a mess now.

Thrax: *reached to help him fix his hair* There, better. Come along now *led Edison out of the room n dwnstairs*

Majah: *was raiding the fridge for edibles while waiting for them*

Edison stumbled into the kitchen soon after, sitting himself down at the table and sighing.

Klepta: Alright. Spill, Majah. Wat plan do u hv in mind?

Majah: *caught sight of Edison n picked up a sort of scent frm him, let out a small knowing smile before turning to the rest of the gang* Well, u pretty much hv an idea why I'm here. Its coz of Big Mama. I've got sorta a plan for u guys

"Oh? Like what?" Ozzy asked as he sat himself down, hoping that it was something that'd stop them arguing.

Majah: First thing's first, we need to get outta here n move somewhere closer to her lair where she would nvr suspect we'd do it, since it'll be too obvious

Thrax: Ur her spy. How do we knw if this is her plan all along n ur here to trap us? *eyed him suspiciously*

Ozzy rubbed the back of his neck, frowning a little at Thrax. "As much as I hate to agree, I am a little unsure about this. I know you've helped us before, but... you are still her spy..."

Majah: True, bt I'm the only chance u'll evr get, remember? Its either u trust me, or u'll end up as skewered meat in her claws. N besides, I've found out something tht I think u might be quite interested in

"I guess you're right..." Ozzy mumbled before he blinked, sitting up at the other's words. "Uh... like what?"

Majah: For me to knw n for u to find out. I'm just here to let u knw abt the plan. So we're moving outta here n I've got a nice plc where its quite near to the lair n u can both monitor n plan ur nxt move on her at the same time

Rodeo: Aww, move again? Bt we've settled quite nicely in this nice big house ne~

Ozzy sighed and rubbed the back of his neck, grumbling a little. "I guess we don't really have much of a choice..." he mumbled, resting back and rubbing at his forehead.

Majah: Great. Well, love to stay n help with the moving, bt I got a boss to report to. Here's the map to where ur new hideout will be. Good luck *slips the map on the table n took his leave*

I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 190

Ozzy nodded slowly before he lead Thrax off to the bedroom, frowning a little to himself. "What happened?" he asked when they were in the room, closing the door behind him.

Thrax: We just had an argument, is all, no big deal *went to the bathroom to clean his wounds, hissing at the sting of the water on them*

"An argument?" Ozzy asked, following after the virus, getting a cloth before wetting it, helping him clean his wounds.

Thrax: Yeah, I was just telling him tht... *considered a moment before continuing* Tht he's not pulling his weight ard. We're so close to war n he acts like he doesnt care abt our sisters

"Oh... maybe Kelpta is right, he has a lot on his mind?" Ozzy mumbled before he shrugged a little. "He's seemed really tired a lot recently, maybe he's not getting any sleep worrying about fighting her?"

Thrax: *resists to roll his eyes* Yeah, I guess so. He knws he's the weakest amongst us, so he cant help feeling a little useless

"Well, we used to train together before my abilities became stronger..." Ozzy mumbled with a pout. "But... he has never seemed to be a fighter..."

Thrax: Yeah, he's more of a geek than a fighter, n does mostly running than defending himself *applies meds on his wounds* Put the band-aids wen I'm done putting the meds

Ozzy nodded slowly, getting the bandages out and sighed. "He's probably worrying his ass over this, heck, I think everyone is worrying over this... we're going against that horrible virus..."

Thrax: She's a nightmare, I'll give her tht. If she can kill babies without evn batting an eyelid, I dread to wonder wat she'll do to u... *looks away, frowning*

"She ain't gunna do anything to me! Got it? Nothing will happen, we'll get through this." Ozzy huffed at him, wrapping up his wounds.

Thrax: *sighed n smiled weakly at Oz's optimism before leaning ovr to kiss his forehead* Yeah, we'll get thru this. We'll make her pay for evrything she's done to all of us

"And if not, we'll go down and make sure to take her with us!" Ozzy said, grinning up at the virus, though it was almost sad.

Thrax: Yup, its either her or us *smiled bk at him n kissed his lips gently* Te queiro, mi bebe

"Yeah, yeah, soppy git." Ozzy laughed at him before he kissed his cheek and messed up his dreads.

Thrax: *grins* Oh yeah? *pushed Oz dwn n started giving him a tickle-attack*

"Wha, ah! Hey!" Ozzy called out, flailing around before he began to laugh.

Thrax: *chuckled as he continued to tickle-attack him, aiming at all his sensitive ticklish spot*

Ozzy gasped and cried out, bucking his hips and flailing around as he laughed. "No! No! No!"

Thrax: *would've tickled him some more if it werent for a knock on their window. He looked up to see Majah n frowned a little* Great, killjoy is here

Ozzy gasped out, thankful that he stopped as he slumped on the floor, panting hard, shuddering a little. "Nnn, huh?"

Thrax: *went to the window n opened it to let Majah in, giving him a 'I wanna castrate u' look* Whaddaya want now?

Majah: Glad to see u guys still lovey-dovey with each other

Ozzy grumbled and got to his feet, dusting himself off before he looked up. "Uh... so what do you want?"

Majah: Gee, arent we all cheery today? U used to be so happy to see me there, pretty

"Sorry, but you weren't the one just tickle attacked." Ozzy huffed, rubbing at his sides.

Majah: Ah, I see. Well, its best if the whole family gathered before I tell u guys wat I hv in mind. Got anything to let me munch on first?

Thrax: Not much on courtesy, r u? Hope u choke on it

"Thrax, calm yourself." Ozzy huffed before he sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "Uh, there might be some food left in the kitchen."

Majah: Thanks. Gather the gang, n I'll let u knw *went dwnstairs to get his munchies*

Thrax: *huffed* Same old attitude. Makes me wonder if he's reli dying or evn poisoned

Ozzy sighed and shook his head. "Live every day like it's your last. Not point worrying about the envitible."

Thrax: I suppose. C'mon, lets go call up the others. I'll get Eddie. U go get the twins

Ozzy nodded before he walked out of the room to go get the twins.

I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 189

*the time passed as the gang settled in with their new addition to the family. Edison is still trying to keep his pregnancy a secret, n thankfully his symptoms were quite different than Rodeo's tht no one bt Thrax could tell, while the twins were just totally into their little bundles of joy*

Hikari&Hikaru: *started wailing for their milk*

Rodeo: Hai hai, ikuso, ikuso (coming, coming) *came to the twins n carried them* Ne, Eddie-chan. Help me undo my top, ne?

Edison looked up when he heard his name, having adopted his usual slim line clothing to help with his fast movements to more baggy clothes. He was currently in a large hoodie, too big for him, and some sweatpants, getting away with the fact that he was 'just relaxing' "Ah? Halp hyu... undo top?" he asked, sounding a little confused as he got up, moving over to his brother. "How do Hy..."

Rodeo: *turned ard to face him* Sa, just unbutton the top of my shirt. I'll handle the rest, ne? Onegai~ (pls~)

Edison nodded slowly, hesitating before he reached out to unbutton the shirt for him, quickly pulling his hands away. "D-dere..."

Rodeo: Domo~ *kissed Edison's cheek n guided the babies to either of his nipples, in which the twins latched on quickly n suckled hungrily*

Amber: *was also a little hungry bt seeing Rodeo nursing the twins, she whined jealously, wanting some*

Edison flinched at the kiss, still not used to all this family touching. Upon hearing Amber whine, he frowned, slowly moving over and picking her up. "Shhh, ist hokay... hyu vill get soon..."

Amber: *got a little cranky, wanting her milk, rubbing her face on Edison's shoulder, looking like she's gonna cry*

"Shhh... ist hokay... da little ones need ist first." Edison told her, rubbing her back gently.

Rodeo: Sa, sa, chotto matte ne, Amber-chan (wait a while, OK)? Oka-chan will be done soon *continued to nurse the babies* Maybe u should distract her, take her out for a walk dwnstairs or something. The twins r big bt slow-eaters. They're gonna take a while

Edison blinked in surprise, looking at his brother with wide eyes before he bit his lip. He cursed softly, he wasn't good with children, especially on his own. "J-ja..." he mumbled, heading out and down the stairs.

*dwnstairs, Thrax, Klepta n Oz were at the living room discussing abt their plans to search n infiltrate Big Mama*

Klepta: No, tht's a little too risky. She'll see us coming

Thrax: She'll see us coming either way anyhow. This is the least conspicuous way to do it. At least she wont see it tht much

Klepta: Yes bt... *sees Edison coming dwn* Hey, Eddie. Evrything alright?

Edison blinked, walking in holding Amber's hands now, letting her walk by herself, walking slowly with her.

Klepta: *came ot him* U look a little awkward. U alright? Amber looks a little cranky tho

"Hy... not used to... kids." Edison tried to explain as he lead her over. "She, uh... milk!" god, it was hard to explain what was wrong in English.

Ozzy watched as Amber toddled with him before he grinned and reached out his arms. "Hey, come on, can you walk to Uncle Ozzy?"

Klepta: U knw u can speak to me in German, Eddie. I'll understand u perfectly

Amber: *was pouting n sniffling bt released Edison slowly n tottered towards him. Tho since she was still learning, she took only a few steps before she fell to the floor on her face, then started crying* MMWAAAAAAAAAA~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!

"Stimmen Sie, so zu... Bernstein ist traurig, weil sie Milch will, aber die Zwillinge führen jetzt zu, ja?" [Okay, so... Amber is sad because she wants milk but the twins are feeding right now, yeah?] Edison told him, speaking quicker now he was speaking in German.

Ozzy chuckled softly before he got up and helped her stand up, crouching down in front of her. "Shhh, hey now, buck up little girl. You're stronger than that." he told her, brushing the tears from her cheeks.

Klepta: Ah, I see. Well, I guess its new to her, n she's mostly curious, since she was nvr nursed before. I'm sure she'll be fine

Amber: *sniffles n pouting, whimpering as she tried to keep her crying in*

Thrax: Heh, Amber is just being herself, is all. She'll grow out of it

"Ja, Hy think... jealous, ja?" Edison told him, watching the little girl.

Ozzy chuckled and smiled at her. "See, you're strong, just like your uncle Ozzy!" he said, flexing his arm and grinning.

Amber: *giggled a little thru her tears, bt she was still hungry n tht's not reli improving her mood as her stomach growled*

Thrax: Looks like she's reli hungry. Maybe we can let her hv some of our custard *takes a small custard pastry n gave it to her* Here u go, sweetie

Ozzy picked the little girl up, sitting down and letting her sit on his lap. "Go on, it's really tasty."

Amber: *takes the custard pastry*

Klepta: Wat do u say, sweetie?

Amber: 'Gato~ *tries to say 'Arigato' like her folks bt could only pronounce tht far as she nibbled at the custard*

Ozzy laughed softly, praising her before he kissed her forhead. "Good girl. Is it nice?"

Amber: *nods as she continued nomming it*

Thrax: *grins at her* Just like her folks, fiesty n spaztic

Klepta: Well, look who's raising her *laughed*

Ozzy grinned before ruffling the little bit of hair she had. "Good! If you're a good girl, I'll get you another... but shh, don't tell mommy or daddy."

Amber: *giggled n nommed the rest of her custard*

Klepta: *cuddles Edison, still not yet noticing Edison's condition coz of his clothes* We've been making a few plans to try on a heads-on offensive approach to take Big Mama on, bt we cant agree with which is better tho

Ozzy grinned at her before just holding her on his lap.

Edison blinked, snapping out of his thoughts and looking up. "Huh? Oh... uh... Hy dot know... vhichever..."

Thrax: Well, tht's reli supportive *sounds sarcastic* Its almost like u dont care abt our sisters

Klepta: *frowned at Thrax* Thrax, stop it. He's got a lot in his mind. He's prolly thinking abt a plan of his own right now

Thrax: I'll believe wen I see it

"Huh? Oh... sorry..." Edison mumbled as he rubbed at the back of his neck. "Vat are.. das plans?" he asked, a small frown on his face.

Thrax: *rolled his eyes* I rest my case. Eddie, come. I need ur help on something *takes his hand n dragged him out to the garden*

Edison blinked in surprise, looking at Klepta desperately as he was dragged away. He quickly tugged his hand away from Thrax, frowning. "Vat ist Hyour deal?"

Klepta: *wondered wat was going on bt was distracted wen Amber wanted to reach for another custard, leaning towards him*

Thrax: *crossed his arms* U still havent told him, hv u?

Ozzy laughed and grinned a little. "You gunna give her one?" he asked, looking up at Klepta.

"..." Edison didn't answer him, he just looked away, a frown on his face.

Klepta: Yeah, maybe just one. Just to keep her distracted until Rodeo is done nursing *gave her another one*

Amber: *takes it, says 'Gato' again n nommed it*

Thrax: Ur already growing quite a bit, any longer n Klep is gonna notice. N ur hunger is starting to get dangerously close to Rodeo's. R u still gonna be in denial abt ur pregnancy, now tht we're so close to war?

Ozzy grinned and ruffled her hair again. "You're welcome."

"Chust schtop ist..." Edison hissed at him, his hands tightening into fists, feeling like he was being ganged up on.

Thrax: Do u want ur spawn to die? Is tht wat u want? *was kinda pushing it with his tone*

"Schtop... schtop... schtop..." Edison repeated over and over again, spikes starting to come out from the tops of his hands.

Thrax: *shook his head a little, then reached ovr to hug Edison out of the blue, trying to calm him dwn, not caring abt the spikes or anything, just hushing him* I'm sorry, OK? I'm sorry...Shh...

Without warning, the spikes shot out, digging into Thrax, but not deep enough to be fatal, but enough to hurt him as he shook in his arms.

Thrax: *winced at the stabs, bt he knws he deserved it for pushing his big brother like this. He just kept holding him gently, rubbing his bk to calm him dwn, apologizing to him quietly*

Edison trembled harder, a soft whimper escaping him as the spikes slowly pressed back into his own body, hiding his face in his hands.

Thrax: I'm sorry, OK? I didnt mean it, mi hermanos (my brother) I'm just reli worried for u. U knw spawns r precious to us viruses. I just...dont want u to get hurt *just kept hugging him, hopefully his warmth would calm him dwn; he was the Red Death, he had always been warmer than most viruses*

"Chust please... leave me alone..." Edison said softly, pushing away from the taller virus before he turned and walked away from him, but instead of going back to the kitchen, he headed up to his room.

Thrax: *watched him leave n sadly came bk, forgetting abt his bleeding wounds as he joined the gang*

Amber: *sees the blood n points* Ah! Aki! (red)

Ozzy blinked, frowning before he looked up, his eyes widened. "Spit, Thrax! What happened?!" he asked, getting up to set the girl on the chair before he rushed over to the virus.

Thrax: *noticed tht n cursed inwardly abt forgetting them before he shook his head* Just a little accident in the rose bushes at the secret garden. Kinda fell into it wen I asked Eddie to help me out

Klepta: Is Eddie OK?

Thrax: Yeah, he's just a little tired. He's resting in the room right now, its best to leave him alone

Ozzy frowned, pulling the virus' coat off before checking out his wounds, "Let's get this cleaned up..."

Thrax: Yeah, let's. Watch ovr the girl there, Klep *followed Oz to their room*

Klepta: Dont worry, will do *takes Amber in his arms*
