*Morning*
Northstar: *is still clinging tightly to Thrax *
Thrax: *looks on at her, haven't slept the entire night*
Northstar: *nuzzles up closer in her sleep, still fast asleep unaware of her new father's insomnia.
Thrax: *sighs softly, easing his way out of Northstar's grip and heads to the kitchen to make breakfast for his children*
Northstar: *wakes as she feels herself being disentangled from him* daddy?
Thrax: *turns to her* Sorry honey, didn't mean to wake you.
Northstar: *yawning* did you have another bad dream?
Thrax: Couldn't get back to sleep. *sighs*
Northstar: were you scared?
Thrax: *nods* Normally no but with dreams like that it's hard not to be.
Northstar: *goes over to him and huggles his leg*
Thrax: *strokes her head* What would you like today?
Northstar: I dunno.
Thrax: Hmmm. . . Do you like eggs?
Northstar: *nods* Uh huh
Thrax: How does an omelette sound?
Northstar: With lots of cheese?
Thrax: *chuckles* Of course. *ruffles her hair and leads her to the kitchen*
Northstar: *holds his hand on the way to the kitchen*
Thrax: *sets her by the table before he begins cooking, he makes the omelette and milk for Northstar and pouched eggs with coffee for Ozzy* Northstar could you set the table?
Northstar: *nods and starts to do so having seen Ozzy do it enough*
Thrax: *sets the food on the table before heading back upstairs and goes to Ozzy's room* Ozzy time to wake up. *giving his son a slight shake.*
Ozzy: mmph... *rolls over a little bit and snuggles into the covers*
Thrax: *sighs, tearing the covers off him* You can't stay in bed all day.
Ozzy: Hmm? *rubs his eyes a little and looks up at him slowly, his eyes a little hazy looking*
Thrax: *sits next to him* Rough night?
Ozzy: *nods a little and rests his overly warm head on his leg* mmm.. *closes his eyes again*
Thrax: *looks worried, placing his hand on Ozzy's forehead*
Ozzy: *has a fever*
Thrax: Oh Ozzy. *sets Ozzy back in the bed, placing a light blanket over before heading back to the kitchen*
Northstar: *has the table all set* Is Ozzy coming down for breakfast?
Thrax: *shakes his head* Ozzy has a fever I'm afraid. *collapses into the chair*
Northstar: Oh. Is he sick? *goes to him and sits in his lap*
Thrax: *gulps down the coffee* I'm afraid so, I'll have to take care of him today, honey.
Northstar: *nods a little and hugs him* Can I help?
Thrax: *strokes her hair* Of course you can but first your breakfast first.
Northstar: *nods and goes to her chair to eat*
Thrax: *runs his claws through his dreads, things were not going well for them*
Northstar: *finishes her breakfast and gets into his lap again*
Thrax: *wraps his arms round her, holding her close* We better take care of Ozzy. *sets Northstar down before getting to his feet to clean up and leads Northstar upstairs after he‘s done, carrying a bowl of water and a washcloth*
Northstar: *holds his hand on the way*
Thrax: *enters Ozzy's bedroom and sits on the edge of the bed, stroking Ozzy's cheek*
Ozzy: *nuzzles into his touch, having long ago learned that Thrax's raised hand always ends in comfort*
Thrax: *soaks a wash cloth in cool water then drains it before laying the cloth of Ozzy's forehead*
Ozzy: mmm... *rolls over on his back as he feels the cool cloth on his forehead* mmmm... * closes his eyes*
Thrax: *strokes his cheek* My poor baby.
Ozzy's cell phone rings.
Thrax: Huh? *picks it up and looks at the number*
*it's the FPD*
Thrax: *sighs, flips the cell open and takes the call* Hello?
Chief: Thrax? Where's Jones? He's almost an hour late
Thrax: He has a fever I'm afraid. He'll be off a day or two depends if it clears.
Chief: Is he alright?
Thrax: As long as I'm here he will be. *sits back down next to Ozzy* Think you can manage without him?
Chief: we'll be ok. Tell him I hope he feels better.
Thrax: I will of course.
Chief: Alright take care ok Thrax?
Thrax: I will, goodbye. *hangs ups and sighs, before turning back to Ozzy and NS*
Ozzy: *has fallen asleep*
Thrax: *removes the cloth from his head, damping it a bit more before placing it back on Ozzy's forehead*
Northstar: *comes into the room and sits up on Ozzy's bed*
Thrax: *turns to her then hangs his head*
Northstar: Daddy?
Thrax: This becoming too much for me, maybe I shouldn't have come back here to this city.
Northstar: *looks up at him*
Thrax: *places his hand on Ozzy's face* I've caused nothing but trouble for my family since I returned here, nothing but pain. *silently weeps*
Northstar: *blinks a little then crawls over to him, nuzzling his cheek*
Thrax: *wraps his arms round her, holding her close*
Northstar: *her body melts to her birth form and she nuzzles him, tiny wings folding around him as much as they will go*
Thrax; *silently weeps, things are becoming too much for him to handle*
Northstar: *nuzzles his face*
Thrax: *kisses her forehead*
Northstar: *sings softly*
Close your eyes, forget your every care, Picture faerie castles in the air Magic is in store for you, You may find your dreams come true, When you wake your wishes may be there
Thrax: *softly smiles to her* That's beautiful.
Northstar *smiles back to him and nuzzles again*
Thrax: *kisses her cheek then turns back to Ozzy*
Ozzy: *seems to be sleeping more comfortably
Thrax: *removes the cloth from his forehead, stroking his face*
Ozzy: *nuzzles his hand a little bit and closes his eyes*
Thrax: *kisses his forehead* Rest my baby..
Ozzy: mmm.. *cuddles into the blanket and sleeps peacefully
Thrax: *softly smiles, setting Northstar at the end of the bed before laying down next to Ozzy*
Northstar: *smiles and starts to sing again, a happy little children's diddy she likes*
Hap'n Frog in the summer rain, munchin' on flies and he can't complain- Callin' "Mr. Raccoon are you still there?" and he's answered back by the tortoise and hare- CHORUS: Singing' "Hey, hey, what do you say? Let's all dance on a summer's day!" "Hey, hey, what do you say? Let's all dance on a summer's day!"
Thrax: *smiles then presses his finger to his lips* Ssshhh. . . *looks down at Ozzy*
Northstar: *smiles and nuzzles up under his chin, resting her head on his shoulder*
Thrax: *nuzzles her back, laying back next to Ozzy*
Northstar: *cuddles up close to him*
Thrax: *smiles at her before he begins to sing softly*
Northstar: *rests her head on the pillow and listens to him singing*
Thrax: *continues the sweet melody while holding Northstar close and wrapping his arm round Ozzy*
Northstar: *yawns widely, getting sleepy*
Thrax: *keeps singing the soothing melody, quietly*
Northstar: *curls up and snuggles up close as she falls asleep*
Ozzy: *lets out a soft sound in his sleep and rests comfortably*
Thrax: *smiles at the two, laying his head back and closes his eyes, hoping to get some of the sleep he lost*
*both of them cuddle up to him, one seeking comfort the other affection*
Thrax: *keeps his grip on his two children, a soft purr coming from his throat as he sleep*
Ozzy: *sleeps nearly to lunchtime*
Thrax: *has turn on his side and has curled round his son and daughter*
Northstar: *stretches and yawns*
Thrax: *slowly awakes as he feels Northstar brush against him*
Northstar: *Sitting up and rubbing her sleepy eyes*
Thrax: *uncurls himself then leans on his left arm* Enjoy your nap, honey?
Northstar: *nods* Uh huh. *Yawns again* I’m thirsty though. Can I go get some water?
Thrax: *gets up* Of course you can. *heads to the kitchen and comes back with a glass of cold water*
Northstar: *drinks the water readily*
Thrax: *sits back down on the end of bed watching his children*
Northstar: *finishes the water and gets in to Thrax's lap.
Thrax: *strokes her hair, smiling*
Northstar: *smiles back*
Thrax: *turns to Ozzy* I just hope he'll be better soon.
Northstar: Me too. Can I go outside and play?
Thrax: *nods* But stay close to the house, I have to stay with Ozzy for now and come back inside if there's trouble.
Northstar: *kisses him on the cheek* Yes sir. *smiles*
Thrax: *kisses her forehead* Good girl. Now run along.
Northstar: *happily goes outside to play
Thrax: *smiles as he watches her go then turns back to Ozzy*
Ozzy: *sleeps and cuddles closer to him as he does so* *starts to whimper after a little while*
Thrax: *strokes the back of Ozzy's head gently*
Ozzy: *softly in his sleep* Daddy...
Thrax: I'm here, baby. It's okay now.
Ozzy: *whimpers softly as he begins to wake up*
Thrax: *softly smiles at him* Hey baby.
Ozzy: *looks up at him* I... I think I need a bath...
Thrax: *nods, getting up before lifting Ozzy into his arms* You'll be better in no time, baby. *kisses his forehead*
Ozzy: *nuzzles into his chest, sniffing softly, apparently having had a bit of a bladder control issue while he slept*
Thrax: *nuzzles him* It's okay, sweetie. You're not feeling well at the moment. *carries him to the bathroom, turning on the warm water*
Ozzy: *nuzzles him back again* I'm sorry...I didn't mean to... *clings to him a little while the water runs*
Thrax: *turns the water off after seeing there's enough* I know you didn't, baby. It was an accident. *removes Ozzy's soaked and drenched PJs before gently setting him in the bath*
Ozzy: *leans on him as he soaks in the tub, the warm water feeling cooler than it normally would on his fevered skin*
Thrax: *lifts up the soap then gently applies it to Ozzy's skin* Just relax, baby.
Ozzy: *nods and leans on him as he's bathed*
Thrax: *washes Ozzy clean before lifting him out to dry him* Ozzy I'm afraid til your fever goes you'll have to wear protection for a while. *wraps a towel round Ozzy, lifting him up*
Ozzy: *nods though blushing a little bit, cuddling up close as he's dried, shivering*
Thrax: *carries Ozzy back to his bedroom, laying him on his bed after removing the soaked sheets* I won't be long okay. *taps Ozzy's nose then heads to collect what he needs*
Ozzy: *nods and lays on the bed, feeling better now that he's clean and dry*
Thrax: *returns carrying the essentials and clean sheets* This won't take long, baby. *slips the diaper under Ozzy, applying the cream and powder before fastening it tight* There you go. *lifts him up, wrapping his trench coat round Ozzy holding him close*
Ozzy: *cuddles close, he's still a bit overly warm but it seems to have gone down since the bath*
Thrax: *smiles, changing Ozzy into lose PJs then replaces the sheets on the bed before laying down, cradling his son*
Ozzy: *rests his head on his shoulder* Mmmm...
Thrax: Rest, little one. *kisses his forehead*
Ozzy: *nods* Mm hmm.* cuddles and starts to go to sleep*
Thrax: *softly begins humming a lullaby to Ozzy*
Ozzy: *nuzzles into his chest and slowly falls asleep*
Thrax: *gently lays Ozzy back on the bed, covering him with the sheets before gathering up the laundry and slips out to do it*
*smells like there's something cooking in the kitchen*
Thrax: What in the name of Frank? *sets the laundry basket down and goes to the kitchen*
Northstar: *is making a grilled cheese sandwich*
Thrax: *sighs* Northstar. Honey if you wanted something to eat you just had to come up and tell me.
Northstar: *starts a little and backs from the stove* Sorry.. I was hungry..
Thrax: *strokes her hair* I know but next time come and get me. *finishes cooking her lunch for her* that should do it. * sets it on the table for her*
Northstar: *sits at the table and looks up at him, having honestly expected him to yell at her when he saw her messing with the stove*
Thrax: *kneels in front of her* Honey listen I'm not mad at you just upset. You know it's dangerous using the stove without supervision.
Northstar: *softly* I'm sorry daddy...
Thrax: I know, honey. *hugs her*
Northstar: *hugs him back* Am I in trouble?
Thrax: *shakes his head* Just promise me you won't do that again.
Northstar: *nods* Yes sir. *sniffles softly*
Thrax: *strokes her cheek and kisses her forehead* Now finish your lunch while I do the laundry. okay?
Northstar: *nods and eats her lunch*
Thrax: *picks up the basket again and goes to do the laundry*
Northstar: *pokes her head in the laundry room when she's done with her lunch*
Thrax: *has just emptied the machine before turning to her* Would you like to help hang the clothes out?
NS: *nods ands campers in*
Thrax: *lifts the basket on to his shoulder and walks out to the garden*
Northstar: *skips next to him and goes to help*
Thrax: *sorts out the heavier clothes while he lets Northstar handle the lighter ones*
Northstar: *happily helps to hang up the clothes*
Thrax: *ruffles her hair after they're done* Thanks for helping me, honey.
Northstar: *smiles* You're welcome!
Thrax: *chuckles* I'll have to head back to Ozzy. Think you can find something to occupy yourself?
Northstar: *nods* Uh huh.
Thrax: *kisses her forehead* Remember say close to the house and come back inside if there's trouble. *heads back inside and makes some soup and rolls for Ozzy before going up to his room*
Ozzy: *is awake but resting*
Thrax: *sets the tray on the table then sits down next to Ozzy*
Ozzy: Hey. *smiles though is eyes are still foggy a sign he doesn't feel well though he's at least in better spirits
Thrax: *smiles* Hey. Are you hungry?
Ozzy: A little.
Thrax: *lifts the tray and sets it across his lap* It's not much but with the way you are at the minute it would be best if you ate something that's easy on your stomach. *tears a piece of bread off, dipping it lightly in to the soup and lifts it to Ozzy* Eat up, baby.
Ozzy: *smiles and opens his mouth, it's been a while since Thrax fed him and he seems to take comfort in it*
Thrax: *slips the bread into Ozzy's mouth* Now don't rush, little one.
Ozzy: *nods and eats the soaked bread*
Thrax: *keeps feeding Ozzy only stopping to wipe Ozzy's mouth or give him some water*
Ozzy: *when the bowl of soup has a bout a quarter of it's contents left* No more please. I'm starting to feel a little queasy*
Thrax: *nods, setting the tray aside then takes Ozzy into his arms* My poor sweet baby. *nuzzles him*
Ozzy: *nuzzles into his chest and closes his eyes prepared to sleep*
Thrax: *cradles him gently in his arms, starting to rock him*
Ozzy: mmm.. *snuggles and finally drifts off*
Thrax: *gently lays him back down on the bed, covering him with the sheets before lifting the tray up and brings it down to the kitchen before he cleans away the dishes, looking out the back to Northstar with the monitor next to him*
Northstar: *is outside playing in the bushes*
Thrax: *softly chuckles* They deserve their peace I can't drag them into my Hell.
*in the monitor he can hear faint noises of Ozzy's sleeping and outside Northstar playfully scampers between the bushes*
Thrax: *props his head on his left arm as he watches Northstar outside but keeps his hearing sharp for Ozzy*
Northstar: *seems to have discovered a mud puddle*
Thrax: *slowly shakes his head* She'll need a bath after this.
Northstar: *seems to be making some sort of house or castle or fort with the mud*
Thrax: *smirks* Looks like I was right.
*she plays with some of the water too. making it form shapes before adding it to the mud house and causing it to practically melt as too much water gets added to the dirt to sustain it*
Thrax: *goes to the back door and steps out on the porch*
Northstar: *doesn't seem to see him as she continues to play with the mud and water*
Thrax: Northstar, any more mud and water you'll make a wallow.
Northstar: *giggles* What's a wallow?
Thrax: A mud pit for pigs. *leans on the deck chair*
Northstar: *squeals giggling and goes to get the hose*
Thrax: Oh no you don’t. *dashes to her and lifts her up* Not on my watch.
Northstar: *squeals playfully and hurries over to it*
Thrax: *scoops her up before she can reach it*
Northstar: *squeals and laughs as he scoops her*
Thrax: What am I going to do with you?
Northstar: *all dirty* I dunno. *giggles* but I think I need a bath.
Thrax: No kidding. Let's go. *carries her into the house and up to the bathroom*
Northstar: *still giggling as they go up there*
Thrax: *turns on the warm water, adding bubble bath to it* I'll be outside if you need me. *sets Northstar down and walks out of the bathroom*
Northstar: *gets into the bath and begins to play in the water and bubbles*
Thrax: *goes to his room and changes into clean clothes before heading back*
*she gets a little loud in her play*
Thrax: *raps on the door* Northstar please keep it down, Ozzy's still asleep.
Northstar: *meeps and sinks into the water a bit* Sorry daddy...
Thrax: *sighs* Honey, you know he's not well and he needs his rest*
Northstar: I'm sorry.
Thrax: I know, honey. Now finish up.
Northstar: Kay... *finishes bathing though is in there for a while*
Thrax: *stretches his body as he waits outside in the hall*
Northstar: *still in there*
Thrax: *goes into Northstar's bedroom and selects her clean clothes*
Northstar: *continues to play in the bathtub*
Thrax: *slight raps the bathroom door* Northstar better finish up before the water gets cold.
Northstar: That's ok. Cold water doesn't bother me.
Thrax: I just don't want you spending all day in there.
Northstar: *not really paying attention* Mm hmm.
Thrax: *massages his forehead* For the love of Frank. *goes downstairs to make dinner for her* *he cooks Grilled Goat's Cheese with Rocket and Tomato Chilli Jam for her*
Northstar: *happily plays in the bathtub*
Thrax: *sets her food on the table and goes back upstairs* Northstar if you don't hurry up your dinner will get cold.
Northstar: Huh? Oh... *gets out of the bathroom and goes to her room still soaking wet*
Thrax: *grabs a towel and dries her off* I made you Grilled Goat's Cheese with Rocket and Tomato Chilli Jam. Is that okay?
Northstar: *nods* Sounds yummy. *lets him dry her off and giggles* that tickles.
Thrax: *wraps the towel round her* Now get dressed and come downstairs for dinner. *clutches Ozzy's monitor before he heads out*
Northstar: *nods and goes to her room*
Thrax: *slumps into one of the kitchen chairs, setting the monitor down*
Northstar: *heads into the kitchen once dressed though barefoot*
Thrax: *looks towards her* Hope you like it, honey. *turns to the monitor in fort of him*
Northstar: *sits in her chair and starts to eat, smiling at him*
Thrax: *stretches his back a bit as he returns the smile*
Northstar: *noms her dinner*
Thrax: Enjoying it, honey?
Northstar: *nods* It's good.
Thrax: *smiles* I'm glad. *looks back to the monitor*
*Ozzy seems to be waking*
Thrax: *gets to his feet* Excuse me, honey. *goes upstairs to Ozzy's room*
Northstar: Ok.
Ozzy: *is rubbing his eyes*
Thrax: *sits next to him* Hey. baby. *nuzzles him*
Ozzy: *nuzzles back a lil* Hi daddy.. *cuddles a little*
Thrax: *lifts Ozzy into his lap* How are you feeling?
Ozzy: kind of woozy
Thrax: *holds him close, rubbing his back*
Ozzy: *coughs a little, cuddling*
Thrax: Would you like some water?
Ozzy: *nods* Uh huh
Thrax: *cradles Ozzy as he gets up and goes to the kitchen*
Northstar: *looks up at them* Is he feeling better?
Thrax: He's still woozy. I brought him down for some water. *fills up a glass of water and sits down at the table, raising the glass to Ozzy's lips.* Here, baby.
Ozzy: *drinks it, leaning on him*
Thrax: *allows him to drink the water til the glass is empty, setting it on the table, and takes a seat while cradling Ozzy*
Northstar: climbs up to sit on the table*
Thrax: *softly strokes Ozzy's hair before looking up at Northstar*
NS: *is sitting on the table looking at them*
Thrax: Is something wrong, honey?
Northstar: *softly* How come he got sick?
Thrax: *sighs* Despite being an Immunity cell he's still a living creature. Could be an infection or he's been overworking himself.
Northstar: Can you get sick?
Thrax: Only when I haven't been sleeping or eating well for a time.
Ozzy: *looks worried when he says that
Thrax: *rubs his back and kisses his forehead* But it's nothing to me.
Ozzy: *nuzzles him a little*
Thrax: There's nothing for you two to worry about. I've gotten use to this kind of thing over the years.
Northstar: *softly* Why?
Thrax: It's actually normal for me in a way.
Northstar: Cause you're a virus?
Thrax: *nods* That and I grew up with this kind of thing.
Northstar: **slides from the table and sits on his knee*
Ozzy : *chuckles * Your lap's kinda crowded
Thrax: *wraps his arms round them both* Plenty of room if you ask me. *nuzzles them*
Northstar: *cuddles and sucks her thumb*
Thrax: *chuckles, kissing their foreheads*
Ozzy: *chuckles softly too but pulls NS' thumb out of her mouth(*
Thrax: *purrs softly to them* My angels.
Northstar: *cuddles up to Thrax*
Ozzy: mmm.. *nuzzles him letting out a soft whimper*
Thrax: *lifts Ozzy's chin slightly* Hey what's wrong, baby?
Ozzy: *nuzzles into his chest not really wanting to say in front of Northstar that he needs to be changed*
Thrax: *softly smiles understanding, setting Northstar down* Wait here. *gets up and carries Ozzy up to his room*
Ozzy: *leans against him*
Thrax: *carries him and lays Ozzy on the floor* Don't worry, baby. You'll be cleaned up. *taps Ozzy's nose and stands up to get the essentials*
Ozzy: *nods and lays still*
Thrax: *returns and sets the items on the floor* This is only temporary Ozzy. *removing Ozzy's soiled diaper, throwing it in the trash can before replacing it with a clean one with oil and powder* There you go. *replaces Ozzy's pants and lifts him into his arms, kissing his cheek*
Ozzy: *hugs him* I'm glad you're not embarrassed by it*
Thrax: *strokes his hair* Your my son and I will always help you when you need it, baby.
Ozzy: *smiles and nuzzles against his hand*
Thrax: *shifts Ozzy onto his hip before heading back downstairs to the kitchen*
Ozzy: *rests his head on his shoulder*
Thrax: *enters the kitchen and sits back down by the table*
Northstar: *ain't in the kitchen anymore*
Thrax: Northstar? Now where did she go?
Ozzy: I dunno. Don't think she left the house do you?
Thrax: I hope not. *clutches Ozzy close, heading out the back*
Northstar: *is in the yard*
Thrax: *sighs with relief* Northstar you gave me a scare there. *walks over to her, balancing Ozzy on his hip*
Northstar: *looks up* I did?
Thrax: Yes, don't scare me like that. What if something happened to you?
Northstar: I... I don't know.. *softly*
Thrax: *kneels in front of her* Honey, I would never forgive myself if anything happened to you or Ozzy. *strokes her cheek*
Northstar: *looks down and pushes her toe into the dirt*
Thrax: *kisses her forehead* Promise me you'll tell me where you're going next time.
Northstar: *nods* Yes sir..
Thrax: *strokes her hair* Good girl.
Northstar: *looks a little confused because she's not in trouble*
Thrax: *kisses her forehead* Honey I don't believe in harsh punishment. You're not in trouble okay.
Ozzy: heh.. worst thing he's ever done to me is spank me.... and all he ever uses is his hand.
Thrax: Believe me, I don't wish any harm to you two. I just wish to care for you properly. *nuzzles Northstar a little before getting to his feet* C'mon I think it's time we went to bed. *offers his hand to Northstar*
Northstar: *takes his hand* I don't want to go to bed. I'm not tired.
Thrax: *smiles* Why don't I read to you both? *leads her inside with Ozzy balanced on his hip*
Northstar: ok. *smiles*
Thrax: *selects 'Prince Caspian' from the shelf and heads upstairs with his children*
Northstar: *cuddles up to him and listens to the story
Thrax: *continues with the tale while laying close to Ozzy and Northstar*
Ozzy: *falls asleep halfway through the first chapter*
Thrax: *smiles down at Ozzy and continues reading to Northstar*
Northstar: *rests against his chest, sucking her thumb*
Thrax: *finishes the book, looking down at his children*
Ozzy: *is sound asleep*
Northstar: *sucks her thumb, cuddling close and looking nearly asleep herself*
Thrax: *sets the book down, wrapping his arms round them both* Sleep well my children. *kisses their foreheads*
Northstar: Mmm.. *cuddles up and starts to shift in her sleep*
Thrax: *lays his head back but doesn't sleep during the night*

Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp 70)
Ozzy: *is a tad late getting home*
Thrax: *looks as he enters* I was beginning to wonder if you'd show up at all. *gestures him to sit down* Better eat up before it gets cold.
Ozzy: heh sorry. Didn't have a much of a chance to call. *comes in tiredly and sits*
Thrax: *shakes his head as he sets Northstar back on her chair then helps himself to a small plate of food, he also sorts out a plate for Northstar as well* There you are, honey.
Northstar: *starts to eat*
Ozzy: Mm Lasagne. *eats*
Thrax: *chuckles to himself, taking a few bites himself*
Ozzy: *nomnomnomnomnomnomnom*
Thrax: *finishes up, wiping his mouth* Would you two like anything for desert?
Northstar: Do we have any ice cream?
Thrax: *smiles* Sure. *gathers up their plates and puts them in the sink before taking out the bowls and ice-cream* It's Napoleon so you have three choices. *scoops a couple of spoonfuls into two bowls and passes them to Northstar and Ozzy*
Northstar: *starts to chow down on the ice cream*
Ozzy: *ditto*
Thrax: *sits back down, drinking a tall glass of water*
Vic; *knocks no the door*
Thrax: Eh? *goes to answer it and sees his parents standing there* Evening father mother.
Marie: *doesn't answer, she seems to be in shock*
Vic: There's something we need to tell you. *wraps an arm around Marie*
Northstar: *comes out of the kitchen drinking some milk with a bendy straw*
Thrax: Please come in. *gestures them to the living room*
Vic: *gently steers Marie to the couch*
Marie: *collapses on the couch in a daze*
Thrax: *sits beside her* What's going on? *massages his mother's hand*
Vic: She's... still in shock somewhat.
Thrax: *beckons Ozzy and Northstar in to the living room*
Northstar: *sits in Thrax's lap still sipping her milk*
Thrax: Ozzy you to. *wraps his free arm round Northstar*
Northstar: *leans against him*
Vic: Marie do you want me to tell them?
Marie: *slowly nods, trying to get herself together*
Vic: *nuzzles her holding her close* well... Marie is pregnant. *smiles*
Thrax: *pales* What?
Vic: that's why she's been feeling so odd lately. She's going to have a baby.
Northstar: *puts her milk down and squeals going and glomping Marie*
Marie: *lightly strokes Northstar's hair but her hands are shaking*
Northstar: *nuzzles, cooing*
Thrax: *leans back, smirking* Didn't think you two had it in ya. *calls out* Ozzy get in here.
Vic: Thrax!
Ozzy: *comes into the room* Hm?
Thrax: Mind telling him father. *gives his mother's hand a small squeeze, nuzzling her*
Marie: *gently nuzzles him back, smiling slightly*
Vic: *smiles* Your grandma's pregnant Ozzy. *smiles*
Ozzy: really? No way! Way to go Granddad!
Vic: Ozzy! *face palms*
Thrax: *slightly snickers turning to his mother but frowns* You don't seem too excited mother.
Marie: *turns away from his face, tears starting to form in her eyes*
Vic: Marie? *nuzzles her* Marie...
Thrax: *face falls* It's fear, father. I can tell, she's scared.
Vic: *holds her close* Shhh...
Marie: *buries her face in his chest, quietly sobbing*
Thrax: *bites his lip, taking Northstar into his own lap* She fears that something may happen to her or the child. It's been so long for her.
Vic: *gently* It'll be alright... *rubs her back* Shhh... It's ok... It's ok...
Marie: *continues sobbing, her body starting to quiver*
Thrax: *cradles Northstar close as he watches his parents*
Northstar: *clings to Thrax and nuzzle into his chest*
Thrax: *strokes her hair then turns back to his father* Best if you keep an eye on mother. I don't know how this’ll affect her mentally.
Vic: *nods, holding his wife close to him*
Marie: *is still quivering but has calmed down a bit*
Thrax: *bites down hard on his lip* She always wanted this yet why is she so frightened?
Vic: *purrs lovingly to her and strokes her hair*
Marie: *clings on to him tightly*
Vic: *kisses her on the forehead* Would you like to go home and get some rest?
Marie: *nods into his chest*
Thrax: It would be the best for her, father.
Vic: *kisses her on the forehead*
Thrax: In time she'll come to terms father but for the moment we need to support her and make sure that everything goes smoothly.
Vic: *nods and takes Marie home*
Marie: *nuzzles against him as they head home*
Thrax: *sighs after they leave* Oh mother. *hangs his head*
Northstar: *sucks her thumb looking worried
Thrax: *strokes her face* She never thought it would be possible for her to have another child yet it has happened and she is frightened. *holds Northstar close to him*
Northstar: *sucks her thumb as she cuddles up to him, looking worried*
Ozzy: *rubs Northstar' head a little and gently takes her thumb out of her mouth*
Thrax: *shakes his head* Think you can help father and I with my mother?
Northstar: *tilting her head* Were you talkin' to me or Ozzy?
Thrax: *nuzzles her* Both of you.
Ozzy: Well what do you think kiddo? I mean it's gonna be tough and I could use your help? What do you think? *smiles*
Northstar: *nods a little and smiles back sheepishly*
Thrax: *smiles* Thank you. *smirks to himself* Just can't believe this has happened, but they deserve it for they had wished for this to happen.
Ozzy: *nods* Yeah big time
Thrax: *turns to Ozzy smirking* Who knows how big our family will become with all these surprises. *lays back against the couch*
Ozzy: *smiles warmly*
Thrax: *opens his eye slightly* Speaking of family I think you need to call your sister about her son.
Ozzy: *nods*
Thrax: Well then, what are you waiting for?
Ozzy: *picks up his cell and calls his sis*
Sakura: Hello?
Ozzy: Hey Sakura? It's ozzy
Sakura: Ozzy? Why the sudden call?
Ozzy: *tells her what Thrax told him*
Sakura: *sighs* Ozzy I can't lie to you. Even through the City of Frank has come to terms with your father and grand-parents our section of the family is still in trouble.
Ozzy: Yeah that doesn’t surprise me... sucks.
Sakura: I know. We can't go out in broad daylight and as you've heard we have to steal to survive.
Ozzy: Yeah... Hey I won't tell anyone.
Sakura: Thanks, little brother. *inhales deeply* I don't need this kind of stress at the minute.
Ozzy: Heh... none of us do sis.
Sakura: *smiles* Take care of yourself Ozzy.
Ozzy: I will. You too kay?
Sakura: Of course, bye Ozzy. *hangs up*
Ozzy: *ditto*
Thrax: *has been listening in* Are any of us ever getting out of this hell?
Ozzy: Heh yeah.
Thrax: *flops his head back* Hopefully they won't been found out, that's the last thing they need.
Ozzy: Yeah I agree
Thrax: *strokes Northstar's cheek* Be on guard Ozzy we've got a lot on our plate at the minute.
Ozzy: *nods*
Thrax: *sits up* Even though everything seems calm, trouble always brews unexpectedly and because of that we have to look out for one another.
Ozzy: Well.. that's what family's do isn't it?
Northstar: How come the whole herd isn't together?
Thrax: *looks down at her* What do you mean, honey?
Northstar: Well... Ozzy's sisters and cousins and stuff... They're all part of your family right? the whole herd?
Thrax: *smiles* We are. Even through we're all different we're still family. *kisses her forehead* We are one.
Northstar: *smiles*
Thrax: *nuzzles her* Even though some of us aren't related by blood or marriage, we're still family no matter what. Everyone of us.
Northstar: Me too? *looks up at him, suddenly frightened that there might come a time they don't want her anymore*
Thrax: *smiles* Even you, honey. *kisses her forehead* No one is left out of our family.
Northstar: *hugs him and smiles softly*
Thrax: *nuzzles her close* Heh, soon we may have a few new members to our clan.
Northstar: *nuzzles into his chest and sucks her thumb*
Thrax: *strokes her face then turns to Ozzy* Hate to say this but I'm actually jealous of your half-siblings and my parents at the minute.
Ozzy: cause they have little ones or little ones on the way?
Thrax: *nods* And a partner that loves them.
Ozzy: *wraps an arm around his shoulders* awww dad...
Thrax: *sighs* When I still had my job a few of my co-workers suggested I should look for a wife or at least a girlfriend but as you know I can't bring myself to do so. I would betray Eve's memory by doing so.
Ozzy: How so?
Thrax: Because Eve was the only one who ever understood me and my family's situation. I can never find another woman like that.
Ozzy: *hugs him*
Thrax: *hugs him back, stroking his cheek*
Northstar: *nuzzles into his chest*
Thrax: *strokes the back of her head* I've not one to betray my loved ones, ever.
Northstar: *nuzzles again into his chest, a spot on his shirt becoming wet*
Thrax: *gently lifts her chin*
Northstar: *is crying silently*
Thrax: *wipes away her tears with his thumb* What's wrong, honey?
Northstar: *sniffles softly* I miss mommy.
Thrax: *slowly nods* I wish I could help you some how, honey. *sits up and cradles her close, rubbing her back*
Northstar: *nuzzles into his chest again and clings*
Ozzy: *wiggles his way into Thrax's lap as well and cuddles both of them*
Thrax: *wraps his other arm around Ozzy and holds his children close, softly purring* As long as I have you two I'm happy. You two are all I need.
Northstar: *nuzzles close and starts to coo softly*
Ozzy: *smiles up at him* We love you too dad.
Thrax: *purrs* And you both know I love you. *nuzzles them both*
Northstar: *nuzzles back, smiling back at him as she sucks her thumb*
Ozzy: *takes her thumb out of her mouth and cuddles up to Thrax, wrapping an arm around her*
Thrax: *kicks off his boots and lays back on the couch, holding Ozzy and Northstar to his chest*
Northstar: *nuzzles into his chest and rubs her eyes a little*
Ozzy: I think someone's tired.
Northstar: Nuh uh!
Ozzy: Yeah huh...
Northstar: Nuh uh!
Ozzy: *pokes her tummy gently* Yeah huh! *grin*
Thrax: Okay you two enough. Besides it is getting late and I think we should all turn in. *sits up with the two in his arms*
Northstar: Not tired.
Ozzy: Yeah huh
Northstar: nuh uh!
Thrax: *chuckles* Let's go. *gets to his feet carries them upstairs*
Northstar: I'm so not tired.
Ozzy: Yeah huh.
Northstar: *giggles* Nuh uh!
Ozzy: Nuh uh!
Northstar: Yeah h..hey!
Ozzy: *laughs*
Thrax: *shakes his head, taking Northstar to her room first*
Northstar: *frowns as they go into her room and clings to his neck* Nay!
Thrax: *sighs, setting Ozzy down and tries to ease Northstar's arms from his neck* Northstar, let go.
Northstar: *shakes her head and clings tighter*
Thrax: *sits down on the bed* Honey, I know you don't like being alone but I'm afraid you have to sleep in your own room.
Northstar: *Shakes her head and continues to cling to him*
Thrax: *thinks for a minute then moves his hands to Northstar's sides and begins tickling her*
Northstar: *whines a little then starts to giggle*
Thrax: *continues tickling her*
Northstar: *puts her arms down and giggles to protect herself from the tickling*
Thrax: *quickly jumps to his feet* Alright now it's bedtime for you both.
Northstar: *gets up and goes to him, clinging to his leg* I don't wanna sleep by myself.
Thrax: *smirks* Now why doesn't this seem familiar? *looks over at Ozzy*
Ozzy: *chuckles softly* I can't imagine.
Northstar: *clings tighter to Thrax's leg*
Thrax: *scoops Northstar into his arms before raising his brow at Ozzy, smirking*
Northstar: *clings to his neck again and nuzzles*
Thrax: Looks like you'll be sleeping with me, honey. *turns to Ozzy* As for you, bed.
Ozzy: Sure. *kisses him on the cheek* Goodnight. *rubs Northstar' head and whispers* Yeah huh...
Northstar: *pokes her tongue out playfully*
Thrax: *shakes his head, smiling before kissing Ozzy's forehead* Night, baby.
Ozzy: Night. *heads to the bathroom first then to his bedroom*
Thrax: *strokes Northstar's hair* Now for you. *lays Northstar in her bed, pulling the covers round her face*
Northstar: *reaches up for him*
Thrax: *removes his turtleneck before laying down next her*
Northstar: *cuddles up close to him and hugs him tight*
Thrax: *kisses her forehead* Goodnight, my jewel.
Northstar: *softly* nite daddy.. *cuddles up to him, instinctively seeking out his heartbeat*
Thrax: *wraps his arms round her and lays her head against his chest, smiling* Sweet dreams, honey. *closes his eyes, allowing sleep to take him*
Northstar: *falls asleep cuddled close to him*
Thrax: *during the middle of the night Thrax has his usual problems. He sees his mother standing there holding a bundle in her arms smiling at him. He walks over, pulling the white revealing a newborn baby virus, sleeping soundly. The little one looked like Marie but it’s dreads were black from his father. Marie set the child in Thrax’s arms gently. Thrax smiled at the young one but when he looked back up at his mother he saw her waist away before him* No mother. *He looked down at the child and saw it wasn’t breathing* No. Not again. *the child soon faded away and Thrax his mother’s voice one last time* ‘I Love You, my son.’ *he suddenly jolts awake at this, breathing heavily* Dammit.
Northstar: *meeps and jumps awake, frightened by Thrax's outburst*
Thrax: *places his head in his hands* Not again. Why does this keep happening?
Northstar: *rubs her eyes a little* Bad dream daddy?
Thrax: *sighs* Very bad.
Northstar: *hugs him*
Thrax: *hugs her back* I don't know if those were my fears or my mother's.
Northstar: Do you and your mama have a link?
Thrax: *nods* Yes. It comes in handy most of the time, but when we have nightmares. That's the only time it's bad.
Northstar: *nuzzles him a little*
Thrax: *kisses her forehead* Go back to sleep, honey.
Northstar: *cuddles close*
Thrax: *strokes her face light* Rest, my jewel.
Thrax: *looks as he enters* I was beginning to wonder if you'd show up at all. *gestures him to sit down* Better eat up before it gets cold.
Ozzy: heh sorry. Didn't have a much of a chance to call. *comes in tiredly and sits*
Thrax: *shakes his head as he sets Northstar back on her chair then helps himself to a small plate of food, he also sorts out a plate for Northstar as well* There you are, honey.
Northstar: *starts to eat*
Ozzy: Mm Lasagne. *eats*
Thrax: *chuckles to himself, taking a few bites himself*
Ozzy: *nomnomnomnomnomnomnom*
Thrax: *finishes up, wiping his mouth* Would you two like anything for desert?
Northstar: Do we have any ice cream?
Thrax: *smiles* Sure. *gathers up their plates and puts them in the sink before taking out the bowls and ice-cream* It's Napoleon so you have three choices. *scoops a couple of spoonfuls into two bowls and passes them to Northstar and Ozzy*
Northstar: *starts to chow down on the ice cream*
Ozzy: *ditto*
Thrax: *sits back down, drinking a tall glass of water*
Vic; *knocks no the door*
Thrax: Eh? *goes to answer it and sees his parents standing there* Evening father mother.
Marie: *doesn't answer, she seems to be in shock*
Vic: There's something we need to tell you. *wraps an arm around Marie*
Northstar: *comes out of the kitchen drinking some milk with a bendy straw*
Thrax: Please come in. *gestures them to the living room*
Vic: *gently steers Marie to the couch*
Marie: *collapses on the couch in a daze*
Thrax: *sits beside her* What's going on? *massages his mother's hand*
Vic: She's... still in shock somewhat.
Thrax: *beckons Ozzy and Northstar in to the living room*
Northstar: *sits in Thrax's lap still sipping her milk*
Thrax: Ozzy you to. *wraps his free arm round Northstar*
Northstar: *leans against him*
Vic: Marie do you want me to tell them?
Marie: *slowly nods, trying to get herself together*
Vic: *nuzzles her holding her close* well... Marie is pregnant. *smiles*
Thrax: *pales* What?
Vic: that's why she's been feeling so odd lately. She's going to have a baby.
Northstar: *puts her milk down and squeals going and glomping Marie*
Marie: *lightly strokes Northstar's hair but her hands are shaking*
Northstar: *nuzzles, cooing*
Thrax: *leans back, smirking* Didn't think you two had it in ya. *calls out* Ozzy get in here.
Vic: Thrax!
Ozzy: *comes into the room* Hm?
Thrax: Mind telling him father. *gives his mother's hand a small squeeze, nuzzling her*
Marie: *gently nuzzles him back, smiling slightly*
Vic: *smiles* Your grandma's pregnant Ozzy. *smiles*
Ozzy: really? No way! Way to go Granddad!
Vic: Ozzy! *face palms*
Thrax: *slightly snickers turning to his mother but frowns* You don't seem too excited mother.
Marie: *turns away from his face, tears starting to form in her eyes*
Vic: Marie? *nuzzles her* Marie...
Thrax: *face falls* It's fear, father. I can tell, she's scared.
Vic: *holds her close* Shhh...
Marie: *buries her face in his chest, quietly sobbing*
Thrax: *bites his lip, taking Northstar into his own lap* She fears that something may happen to her or the child. It's been so long for her.
Vic: *gently* It'll be alright... *rubs her back* Shhh... It's ok... It's ok...
Marie: *continues sobbing, her body starting to quiver*
Thrax: *cradles Northstar close as he watches his parents*
Northstar: *clings to Thrax and nuzzle into his chest*
Thrax: *strokes her hair then turns back to his father* Best if you keep an eye on mother. I don't know how this’ll affect her mentally.

Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp 69)
*Morning*
Ozzy: *wakes up when his alarm goes off and stretches*
Thrax & Marie: *in the kitchen cooking though Thrax seems slightly embarrassed from last night to whish Marie chuckles*
Vic: Also seems rather amused and pats his son's back*
Thrax: *sets the table* I can't believe I did that last night, how humiliating. *his face glows a bright red before turning to Marie* and I still can't believe you took a photograph of it, mother.
Marie: *laughs* Can you blame me? It's been so long since I've seen you like that.
Vic: Oh come now is it really all that embarrassing? We're your parents after all.
Thrax: *shudders* At least Ozzy and Northstar didn't see me like that.
Marie: *sets the food on the table* Speaking of who- *heads upstairs and goes to check on Ozzy* Ozzy breakfast.
Ozzy: *yawns* Hm? Mornin' grams.
Marie: *smiles* Morning angel, breakfast is ready so downstairs with you. *goes to check on Northstar*
Northstar: *still asleep, sucking her thumb and hugging her blanket*
Marie: *sits on the edge of the bed, stroking her Northstar's face*
Vic: *chuckles* They were already out like a light.
Thrax: *smirks* That I can imagine. *goes upstairs to Northstar's room and kneels next to her* Northstar? Honey it's time to wake up.
Northstar: *stirs a little yawning
Thrax & Marie: Morning, sweetie.
Northstar: *yawns again* M'sleepy
Marie: *chuckles* You've been asleep all night, honey.
Northstar: Hm? *rubs her eyes, starting to sit up*
Thrax: *sits next to her* You can't stay in bed all day, honey. I've got pancakes with butter and syrup ready for you.
Northstar: *crawls into his lap*
Thrax: *hugs her close, getting to his feet and carries her to the kitchen.*
Marie: *not far behind him*
Ozzy: *chuckles* Is she even awake yet? *in his pjs still having some orange juice*
Thrax: *sets Northstar down beside the table* Surprised she's still sleepy even after mother's singing helped her sleep.
Ozzy: *pulls out a chair and Rubs Northstar' head, he's somewhat tired but he wasn't as sluggish as usual*
Thrax: *ruffles Ozzy's hair and kisses Northstar's forehead before taking a seat at the table*
Marie: *joins them in a minute*
Northstar: *perks up fairly quickly while eating breakfast and starts to talk about the dream she was having*
Thrax: *takes a drink of water* What did you dream of?
Northstar: My school I used to go to
Marie: Oh?
Northstar: *nods* Uh huh. Only it was different.
Thrax: How so?
Northstar: Well there wasn’t so many humans
Marie: *raises a brow at her*
Thrax: What do you mean?
Northstar: I used to go to school with humans.
Marie: That we can understand angel but why was it different?
Northstar: I dunno really. IT just felt that way
Thrax: *strokes her hair* Dreams can be strange sometimes.
Northstar: Sometimes they're fine... like you can play all night if you want to and you wont' get in trouble cause you're dreaming.
Marie: *props up on her left arm* Sounds nice, too bad our dreams are always nightmares.
Northstar: Nightmares are scary.
Thrax: And can make you sick. *shudders remembering his own*
Northstar: *nods* Uh huh...
Marie: At least you'll have someone to comfort you if you have bad dreams, honey. *kisses her forehead*
Northstar: *smiles softly and lets out a coo*
Thrax: Now finish up your breakfast you two, you have work Ozzy.
Ozzy: *nods* Yep... heh. can't be late
Thrax: *finishes up* Finish up and get ready.
Ozzy: *nods and finishes his breakfast then goes to change clothes
Thrax: *chuckles, shaking his head* There's never a dull moment with him.
Vic: *chuckles* that much is true.
Marie: *slightly laughs, finishing off a piece of toast*
Northstar: do I have to go to school?
Thrax: *gives her sentimental look* Not at the moment in fact the four of us are the only ones who know you're here.
Northstar: *nods a little and gets into his lap*
Thrax: *wraps his arms round her, holding her close*
Northstar: *sits in his lap and cuddles, still clad in her nightgown*
Thrax: *lifts her chin* Why don't you get dressed and we'll head out for the day?
Marie: Are you sure that's a good idea?
Northstar: Ok.
Thrax: *to Marie* Trust me mother, I will never let anything happen to her. *to Northstar* Now run along my jewel.
Northstar: *kisses him on the cheek and goes to go get dressed*
Marie: *watches her go* Even with everything in order now I still get knots in my stomach.
Thrax: We'll pull through this we always do.
Thrax & Marie: *both clean up the kitchen*
Vic: *gives them a hand*
Northstar: *goes into the living room when she's dressed*
Thrax: *sits next to her when he's finished*
Marie: *does the same but shakes her head a little, feeling slightly dizzy*
Northstar: *looks up at him* You ok?
Marie: I don't understand it I've been have dizzy spells and cramps in my stomach *turns to Thrax* and I don't think it was because of you, my son.
Northstar: Are you gonna have a baby?
Thrax & Marie: *exchange looks then burst out laughing*
Marie: *wipes away her tears* Oh Frank now that would be a miracle.
Thrax: *calms down* Northstar, mother isn't in her prime anymore so it would be difficult for her to have another child even if she wants to.
Northstar: Oh..
Marie: *strokes her hair* Believe me honey, there are times I wish I had a few more children but with the way things were Vic and I were lucky that we even had Thrax.
Northstar: Were there hunters after you?
Marie: *shakes her head* No, Immunity cells. Every time we found somewhere to settle they always for us. Time were hard and we always feared for the lives of our young.
Northstar: *looks up at her and reaches up a little wanting to be picked up*
Marie: *lifts her up and sets Northstar in her lap, kissing her forehead*
Thrax: *smiles at the two interacting* Too bad you and father didn't have any more children, mother. You still have a lotta love to give.
Marie: *smiles* With us always on the run we were lucky enough to have you, my little warrior.
Thrax: *blushes at his childhood pet name*
Northstar: *giggles a little but not unkindly
Marie: *nuzzles Northstar* Really wish I could but I'm too old now.
Thrax: Not from where I'm standing and I'm not joking.
Northstar: *smiles softly and nuzzles into Marie's chest, cooing*
Vic: *chuckles* You've still got the touch with kids Marie. Honestly I don't think you'll ever lose it.
Marie: Fat chance my dear husband. It's been with me since I was a child and I will still have it until my final days. *strokes Northstar's hair, kissing her forehead*
*as Northstar snuggles her wings pop out a little and fold on her back*
Thrax: *jumps back slightly as they pop out then softly strokes them, barely touching them*
*they flutter a little and a tiny feather comes off in his hand, she doesn't appear hurt by it however so it was apparently ready*
Thrax: *examines the small feather in his palm as it shimmers in the light*
Marie: *looks at the feather* It's beautiful.
Northstar: *looks up at the feather then at Marie* S'just a feather.
Marie: Maybe but I've never such feathers before.
Thrax: Neither have I. *looks the feather over*
Northstar: I can't fly yet. I'm too little
Marie: *strokes her cheek* In time you will, young one. You're still growing.
Thrax: She's right, honey. *strokes Northstar's cheek*
Northstar: I don't wanna fly anyway..
Marie: *holds her close, rubbing here back* It's okay, you don't have to if you don't want to.
Northstar: I don't like being high... *clings to her a little, having frightened herself days earlier by climbing a tree too high*
Marie: *rubs her back* We'll just make sure you stay on the ground, sweetie.
Northstar: *nods and sucks her thumb*
Thrax: *smiles at her then heads out of the room* Ozzy! You better get going.
Ozzy: *calls* Yep on the way down!
Marie:*softly laughs* He may be trouble at times but he's worth it.
Ozzy: *slides down the banister*
Thrax: *ruffles his hair* Now you better head off, I don't wish to get a call from the chief.
Ozzy: Heh.. believe Me I don't want for you to either.
Thrax: *kisses his forehead* See you later, angel.
Ozzy: Later. *kisses his cheek and heads out*
Thrax: *chuckles, shaking his head as returns to the living room* That boy sometimes. *sits down next to his mother and kisses Northstar on the forehead*
Northstar: What does he do at work daddy?
Thrax: Immunity cells as you know fight off against germs and bacteria which included me at one time but there are times when they have their work cut out for them.
Northstar: so he's like a police officer?
Thrax: *nods* That's right as was his ancestors before him. It's a family tradition for him.
Marie: And he takes it seriously.
Northstar: Wow.
Marie: But it's a risky job sometimes. *sighs* I should know.
Northstar: *sucks her thumb again.
Thrax: *strokes the head* Mother you've got to stop beating yourself up over what happened years before.
Marie: *glares at him* Like you don't my son.
Northstar: *frightened by the glare hides her face in Marie's shirt*
Marie: *calms down at bit and rubs Northstar's back* Sorry for scaring you sweetie, I just get edgy when I remember all the pain and failure we've gone through.
Thrax: *looks away* That's putting it mildly.
Northstar: *looks up at them both*
Marie: *looks at her* Even with our names cleared and our family at peace, the pain and sorrow we went through is still there as is our fears. *hold Northstar close, tears starting in her eyes*
Northstar: *continues to suck her thumb and nuzzles her a little*
Marie: *nuzzles her back, kisses her forehead and stroking her small wings*
Thrax: *raises his head and smiles at his mother and daughter*
Northstar: Can we go to the park today?
Thrax: *smiles* Of course, sweetie. *kisses her cheek*
Marie: *gently sets Northstar in Thrax's lap before running out of the room to the bathroom*
Thrax: *raises his brow then gives his father a sceptical look*
Vic: *goes to check on Marie*
Marie: *coughs out what's left in her stomach* Frank what's wrong with me? *slumps next to the bath*
Vic: *gently* I think we need to take you to a doctor
Marie: *slowly nods* Probably ate something that didn't agree with me. *shakenly gets to her feet*
Vic: maybe. *nuzzles her* Would you like some tea dear?
Marie: *shakes her head* No thank you my husband, better not risk it.
Vic: Alright. But hopefully this will make you feel better. *wraps his arms around her affectionately and holds her close*
Marie: *smiles, softly purring* It always does. *kisses him on the cheek and leans against him*
Vic: *smiles purring softly to her*
Marie: *purrs back, nuzzling him*
Vic: *holds her close to him*
Marie: It'll pass hopefully. No need to worry.
Vic: *nods*
Marie: *kisses him again and walks back to the living room*
Thrax: *looks up as she enters* Hope it isn't anything bad, mother.
Marie: *shrugs* Probably nothing. *sits down beside him*
Northstar: *crawls over to Marie and huggles her around the neck*
Marie: *lifts her into her lap, nuzzling her close*
Thrax: *smiles at them but can't help feeling concerned for his mother*
Northstar: *kisses her on the cheek*
Marie: *smiles at her* Bet you'll have fun today, sweetie.
Northstar: *nods a little and smiles, snuggling*
Marie: *strokes the back of her head*
Thrax: Mother if this continues maybe you should see a doctor.
Northstar: *cuddles slightly, though she's too young to be able to recognise that Marie is pregnant*
Vic: I’ve already brought it up to her.
Marie: *rolls eyes* Like I said I probably ate something that didn't agree with me. No need to worry you two.
Thrax: *doesn't seem so sure ands turns to his father* Maybe you should bring her to the hospital after your visit, despite what she says something isn't right.
Vic: *nods his agreement to that*
Marie: *doesn't hear them as she continues stroking Northstar's hair*
Northstar: *coos, snuggling closer*
Thrax: *whispers to Vic* You know to call me when you find out.
Vic: *nods and nuzzles his son*
Thrax: *nuzzles him back and turns to his mother and daughter* Northstar shall we head out?
Northstar: *nods* Ok.
Marie: *sets Northstar down before getting to her feet* We might as well head home ourselves Vic. *stretches her back*
Vic: *nods* You need some rest anyway
Marie *nods, nuzzling him*
Thrax: *clears his throat then motions Vic to Marie*
Vic: *wraps an arm around her*
Thrax: We'll see you both later. C'mon Northstar. *takes her hand*
Northstar: *holds his hand*
Vic: take care Thrax.
Thrax: You to father, mother. *waves to the two before leading Northstar out*
Marie: *walks up to Vic and leans against him*
Vic: *nuzzles her as they head home*
Thrax: *held Northstar's hand firmly as they headed for the park*
Northstar: *skips a bit as they walk, not near as afraid of the virus as she was w hen she first arrived*
Thrax: *softly smiles to her, arriving at the park*
Northstar: *sits to play in the sand*
Thrax: *sits on the bench near by, keeping an eye on his daughter*
Northstar: *starts to build a sand castle* *reaches over toward a nearby puddle when the sand is not wet enough to build with*
*a young cell/virus, clutching a bag comes running and accidentally knocks into Northstar*
Thrax: *sees what happens and runs over, kneeling next to Northstar* Are you alright, honey?
Northstar: *sits up a gain and rubs her head some* I'm ok. It was just an accident.
Thrax: *nods then looks to the young male, about to ask him if he's okay but the boy gathers up the spilt food and runs off* What was that all about?
Northstar: *looks over at the youngster and then up at Thrax*
Thrax: *looks down at her* A cell-virus mix though he seemed to have more virus than cell in his genes. *looks back in the direction the boy went*
Northstar: He looked scared
Thrax: *nods* He seemed familiar but where?
Northstar: I dunno.
Thrax: *suddenly gasps* Hayato.
Northstar: Who's Hayato
Thrax: You remember the photographs of Ozzy's half-siblings and their families?
Northstar: Uh huh.
Thrax: That's was Hayato, one of Ozzy's nephews through his half-sister Sakura, a Japanese encephalitis virus/ white blood cell mix.
Northstar: How come he looked so scared?
*she got her answer when a group of cells came running*
RBC: That little thief is going too pay for stealing from me.
WBC: He'll get what's coming to him.
MC: I think he went this way, let's go. *the group leave*
Thrax: *watches the group leave* That answer your question?
Northstar: Uh huh... *Stands up*
Thrax: *also gets to his feet and pulls out his cell* Better call Ozzy on this. *dials Ozzy's number*
Northstar: *moves her hand out as the group approaches a large puddle and simply freezes it so that they trip and fall and that the boy has more time to get a way*
*the boy gives her a slight smile before disappearing into an alleyway*
Thrax: *gives her a slight smirk as he watches the boy disappear before turning back to is cell*
Ozzy: *answers* Hello?
Thrax: Ozzy it's me, there been some trouble involving one of your nephews.
Ozzy: Oh? What kind of trouble?
Thrax: Nothing much just stealing food but he appeared to be frightened.
Ozzy: Great.. I'll make some phone calls to family when I get home.
Thrax: Just hope nothing's wrong.
Ozzy: Yeah me too
Thrax: We'll see you later Ozzy alright?
Ozzy: Alright. love you
Thrax: Love you to, baby. *hangs up*
Northstar: *reaches up to him*
Thrax: *lifts her into his arms, nuzzling her*
Northstar: *smiles warmly at him and nuzzles*
Thrax: *holds her close* Hopefully we'll sort this mess out. I don't those guys could go through anymore turmoil.
Northstar: *nods a little*
Thrax: You hungry?
Northstar: A little
Thrax: *walks back to the bench, opening his shoulder bag and takes out a couple of cheese sandwiches* Will these be okay?
Northstar: *nods* uh huh.. kinda cheesy though. *giggles*
Thrax: *laughs, sitting down and hands her the snack*
Northstar: *giggles and happily eats the sandwich*
Thrax: *softly chuckles, taking out a fruit drink for her*
Northstar: *drinks it and smiles*
Thrax: *returns the smile, stroking her hair*
Northstar: *finishes her lunch*
Thrax: Enjoy it?
Northstar: *nods* Uh huh. *wipes her mouth*
Thrax: *nuzzles her* We've still got some before we head home. Why don't you play some more?
Northstar: Ok *smiles and goes back to the play sets*
Thrax: *leans against the bench smiling as he watches her* To be so carefree.
*some of the mothers in the park look on at Thrax and Northstar and can't help but think how cute she is*
Northstar: *goes down a tube slide*
Thrax: *eyes glaze over a bit as he watches, her hair shining in the light* *after an hour calls her* Northstar, time to go.
Northstar: Awww just al little longer?
Thrax: *walks over to her and lifts her up* I think an hour's enough time. *kisses her cheek*
Northstar: Doesn’t' feel like an hour.
Thrax: *chuckles* Time flies, c'mon now.
Northstar: awww... ten more minutes?
Thrax: Not a chance, honey. *kisses her on the nose*
Northstar: Five more minutes?
Thrax: *shakes his head* No dice.
Northstar: Two more minutes?
Thrax: Northstar.
Northstar: aww...
Thrax: C'mon now that enough we have to go home. *hugs her before setting her on the ground and takes her hand before they head home*
Northstar: *takes his hand* can we go back tomorrow?
Thrax: *massages her hand* Of course, honey.
*they arrive home after ten minutes*
Northstar: *singing the Spongebob theme on the way *
Thrax: *chuckles, leading her back inside* Do you have fun today, honey?
Northstar: *nods*Uh huh! *smiles*
Thrax: *kisses her forehead* I see you're starting to adapt living here.
Northstar: *nods a little* Can we still play outside some?
Thrax: *smiles* Sure, honey. *leads her to the backyard*
Northstar: *goes directly for the bushes*
Thrax: *silently laughs to himself, taking a seat on the deckchair*
*after a couple of hours Thrax heads in to make dinner*
Thrax: Northstar? Veggie lasagne okay with you?
Northstar: Ok!
Thrax: *smiles, disappearing into the kitchen and begins cooking*
Northstar: *goes inside*
Thrax: *sets the food and drinks on the table before taking a seat as well* Hopefully Ozzy won't be too long.
Northstar: Does he got to stay late?
Thrax: *shakes his head* He never said. *takes a drink of water*
Northstar: *gets into his lap*
Thrax: *wraps his arms round her, holding her close* Where is that boy anyway?
Ozzy: *wakes up when his alarm goes off and stretches*
Thrax & Marie: *in the kitchen cooking though Thrax seems slightly embarrassed from last night to whish Marie chuckles*
Vic: Also seems rather amused and pats his son's back*
Thrax: *sets the table* I can't believe I did that last night, how humiliating. *his face glows a bright red before turning to Marie* and I still can't believe you took a photograph of it, mother.
Marie: *laughs* Can you blame me? It's been so long since I've seen you like that.
Vic: Oh come now is it really all that embarrassing? We're your parents after all.
Thrax: *shudders* At least Ozzy and Northstar didn't see me like that.
Marie: *sets the food on the table* Speaking of who- *heads upstairs and goes to check on Ozzy* Ozzy breakfast.
Ozzy: *yawns* Hm? Mornin' grams.
Marie: *smiles* Morning angel, breakfast is ready so downstairs with you. *goes to check on Northstar*
Northstar: *still asleep, sucking her thumb and hugging her blanket*
Marie: *sits on the edge of the bed, stroking her Northstar's face*
Vic: *chuckles* They were already out like a light.
Thrax: *smirks* That I can imagine. *goes upstairs to Northstar's room and kneels next to her* Northstar? Honey it's time to wake up.
Northstar: *stirs a little yawning
Thrax & Marie: Morning, sweetie.
Northstar: *yawns again* M'sleepy
Marie: *chuckles* You've been asleep all night, honey.
Northstar: Hm? *rubs her eyes, starting to sit up*
Thrax: *sits next to her* You can't stay in bed all day, honey. I've got pancakes with butter and syrup ready for you.
Northstar: *crawls into his lap*
Thrax: *hugs her close, getting to his feet and carries her to the kitchen.*
Marie: *not far behind him*
Ozzy: *chuckles* Is she even awake yet? *in his pjs still having some orange juice*
Thrax: *sets Northstar down beside the table* Surprised she's still sleepy even after mother's singing helped her sleep.
Ozzy: *pulls out a chair and Rubs Northstar' head, he's somewhat tired but he wasn't as sluggish as usual*
Thrax: *ruffles Ozzy's hair and kisses Northstar's forehead before taking a seat at the table*
Marie: *joins them in a minute*
Northstar: *perks up fairly quickly while eating breakfast and starts to talk about the dream she was having*
Thrax: *takes a drink of water* What did you dream of?
Northstar: My school I used to go to
Marie: Oh?
Northstar: *nods* Uh huh. Only it was different.
Thrax: How so?
Northstar: Well there wasn’t so many humans
Marie: *raises a brow at her*
Thrax: What do you mean?
Northstar: I used to go to school with humans.
Marie: That we can understand angel but why was it different?
Northstar: I dunno really. IT just felt that way
Thrax: *strokes her hair* Dreams can be strange sometimes.

Northstar: *nods* Ok.
Marie: *sets Northstar down before getting to her feet* We might as well head home ourselves Vic. *stretches her back*
Vic: *nods* You need some rest anyway
Marie *nods, nuzzling him*
Thrax: *clears his throat then motions Vic to Marie*
Vic: *wraps an arm around her*
Thrax: We'll see you both later. C'mon Northstar. *takes her hand*
Northstar: *holds his hand*
Vic: take care Thrax.
Thrax: You to father, mother. *waves to the two before leading Northstar out*
Marie: *walks up to Vic and leans against him*
Vic: *nuzzles her as they head home*
Thrax: *held Northstar's hand firmly as they headed for the park*
Northstar: *skips a bit as they walk, not near as afraid of the virus as she was w hen she first arrived*
Thrax: *softly smiles to her, arriving at the park*
Northstar: *sits to play in the sand*
Thrax: *sits on the bench near by, keeping an eye on his daughter*
Northstar: *starts to build a sand castle* *reaches over toward a nearby puddle when the sand is not wet enough to build with*
*a young cell/virus, clutching a bag comes running and accidentally knocks into Northstar*
Thrax: *sees what happens and runs over, kneeling next to Northstar* Are you alright, honey?
Northstar: *sits up a gain and rubs her head some* I'm ok. It was just an accident.
Thrax: *nods then looks to the young male, about to ask him if he's okay but the boy gathers up the spilt food and runs off* What was that all about?
Northstar: *looks over at the youngster and then up at Thrax*
Thrax: *looks down at her* A cell-virus mix though he seemed to have more virus than cell in his genes. *looks back in the direction the boy went*
Northstar: He looked scared
Thrax: *nods* He seemed familiar but where?
Northstar: I dunno.
Thrax: *suddenly gasps* Hayato.
Northstar: Who's Hayato
Thrax: You remember the photographs of Ozzy's half-siblings and their families?
Northstar: Uh huh.
Thrax: That's was Hayato, one of Ozzy's nephews through his half-sister Sakura, a Japanese encephalitis virus/ white blood cell mix.
Northstar: How come he looked so scared?
*she got her answer when a group of cells came running*
RBC: That little thief is going too pay for stealing from me.
WBC: He'll get what's coming to him.
MC: I think he went this way, let's go. *the group leave*
Thrax: *watches the group leave* That answer your question?
Northstar: Uh huh... *Stands up*
Thrax: *also gets to his feet and pulls out his cell* Better call Ozzy on this. *dials Ozzy's number*
Northstar: *moves her hand out as the group approaches a large puddle and simply freezes it so that they trip and fall and that the boy has more time to get a way*
*the boy gives her a slight smile before disappearing into an alleyway*
Thrax: *gives her a slight smirk as he watches the boy disappear before turning back to is cell*
Ozzy: *answers* Hello?
Thrax: Ozzy it's me, there been some trouble involving one of your nephews.
Ozzy: Oh? What kind of trouble?
Thrax: Nothing much just stealing food but he appeared to be frightened.
Ozzy: Great.. I'll make some phone calls to family when I get home.
Thrax: Just hope nothing's wrong.
Ozzy: Yeah me too
Thrax: We'll see you later Ozzy alright?
Ozzy: Alright. love you
Thrax: Love you to, baby. *hangs up*
Northstar: *reaches up to him*
Thrax: *lifts her into his arms, nuzzling her*
Northstar: *smiles warmly at him and nuzzles*
Thrax: *holds her close* Hopefully we'll sort this mess out. I don't those guys could go through anymore turmoil.
Northstar: *nods a little*
Thrax: You hungry?
Northstar: A little
Thrax: *walks back to the bench, opening his shoulder bag and takes out a couple of cheese sandwiches* Will these be okay?
Northstar: *nods* uh huh.. kinda cheesy though. *giggles*
Thrax: *laughs, sitting down and hands her the snack*
Northstar: *giggles and happily eats the sandwich*
Thrax: *softly chuckles, taking out a fruit drink for her*
Northstar: *drinks it and smiles*
Thrax: *returns the smile, stroking her hair*
Northstar: *finishes her lunch*
Thrax: Enjoy it?
Northstar: *nods* Uh huh. *wipes her mouth*
Thrax: *nuzzles her* We've still got some before we head home. Why don't you play some more?
Northstar: Ok *smiles and goes back to the play sets*
Thrax: *leans against the bench smiling as he watches her* To be so carefree.
*some of the mothers in the park look on at Thrax and Northstar and can't help but think how cute she is*
Northstar: *goes down a tube slide*
Thrax: *eyes glaze over a bit as he watches, her hair shining in the light* *after an hour calls her* Northstar, time to go.
Northstar: Awww just al little longer?
Thrax: *walks over to her and lifts her up* I think an hour's enough time. *kisses her cheek*
Northstar: Doesn’t' feel like an hour.
Thrax: *chuckles* Time flies, c'mon now.
Northstar: awww... ten more minutes?
Thrax: Not a chance, honey. *kisses her on the nose*
Northstar: Five more minutes?
Thrax: *shakes his head* No dice.
Northstar: Two more minutes?
Thrax: Northstar.
Northstar: aww...
Thrax: C'mon now that enough we have to go home. *hugs her before setting her on the ground and takes her hand before they head home*
Northstar: *takes his hand* can we go back tomorrow?
Thrax: *massages her hand* Of course, honey.
*they arrive home after ten minutes*
Northstar: *singing the Spongebob theme on the way *
Thrax: *chuckles, leading her back inside* Do you have fun today, honey?
Northstar: *nods*Uh huh! *smiles*
Thrax: *kisses her forehead* I see you're starting to adapt living here.
Northstar: *nods a little* Can we still play outside some?
Thrax: *smiles* Sure, honey. *leads her to the backyard*
Northstar: *goes directly for the bushes*
Thrax: *silently laughs to himself, taking a seat on the deckchair*
*after a couple of hours Thrax heads in to make dinner*
Thrax: Northstar? Veggie lasagne okay with you?
Northstar: Ok!
Thrax: *smiles, disappearing into the kitchen and begins cooking*
Northstar: *goes inside*
Thrax: *sets the food and drinks on the table before taking a seat as well* Hopefully Ozzy won't be too long.
Northstar: Does he got to stay late?
Thrax: *shakes his head* He never said. *takes a drink of water*
Northstar: *gets into his lap*
Thrax: *wraps his arms round her, holding her close* Where is that boy anyway?

Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp 68)
*knocking at the door*
Ozzy: I'll get it. *goes to the door and answers it*U
*Vic and Marie are standing there, though Marie looks as if a gust of wind could knock her over*
Marie: *smiles weakly to him* Hello, little one.
Ozzy: *hugs her gently* Hey grams... You ok?
Marie: *hug him back* Just a little bit tired that’s all. *leans against Vic*
Thrax: *comes in* Mother? Father? What brings you here?
Vic: *nuzzles her* Evening son.
Thrax: Please come in. *gestures them in*
Vic: *steps in* how is everything this evening/
Thrax: We're fine father. Just finished dinner.
Vic: *hugs him*
Thrax: *hugs him back*
Marie: *hugs him and goes to sit down on the couch*
Ozzy: Want something to drink Grams?
Marie: *softly smiles* Just some water, Ozzy.
Ozzy: Alright. *smiles and goes to get her some water*
Thrax: *smiles then turns to Vic* So why the sudden visit?
Vic: Well we wanted to check up on you.
Thrax: Thanks. *heads to the kitchen* Just need to clean up.
Ozzy: Ok.
Northstar: *is in the kitchen still*
Thrax: Something wrong honey? *cleans up the kitchen*
Northstar: *hugs his leg*
Thrax: *lifts her up and holds her close* What's wrong honey?
Northstar: *hugs his leg*
Thrax: *cradles her close then carries her to the living room*
Northstar: *looks over at Thrax's parents*
Vic: well look who's here. Hey there lil tyke.
Marie: *looks up at Northstar* Thrax she's beautiful.
Thrax: She is isn't she? *whispers to Northstar* It's okay they wouldn't hurt you.
Northstar: *softly* Hi.
Thrax: *sits down next to Marie with Northstar in his lap*
Northstar: *sucks her thumb*
Marie: *smiles at her then turns to Thrax* How you'd two come across such a darling?
Ozzy: *softly* I found her near the PD. That reminds me. *gently lifts the sleeve of her shirt and nods at the healing bruise*
Marie: *shocked at the mark* What happened to her?
Ozzy: She was unconscious when I found her. She didn't remember getting this so I think it happened when she was knocked out.
Marie: *face falls* Poor child.
Northstar: *looks at Marie*
Marie: *slowly reaches out and strokes the child's face*
Northstar: *flinches a little then looks up at her*
Marie: It's okay young one, I will not hurt you.
Ozzy: *chuckles* Hey at least you aren’t biting anymore huh lil bit?
Thrax: *glares at him* Ozzy!
Ozzy: *cringes* Sorry...
Marie: Such innocence yet I can senses so much hurt in her. *strokes Northstar's hair*
Ozzy: Her dad was mean to her... But she's ok now.. right lil bit?
Northstar: *looks up at Ozzy.
Marie: *withdraws her hand* Looks like I was right, she is a lot like you Ozzy.
Northstar: I made a new friend today.
Marie: Oh?
Northstar: He lives in the bush outside.
Marie: *brings her legs up on the couch* What kind of friend?
Northstar: He is this big. *shows how big the lizard is* And his name is Kevin
Marie: *softly laughs* You really are making a few friends aren't you?
Northstar: *nods, though she really didn't meet many kids at the park.
Marie: *smiles* What is your name, sweetie?
Northstar: Northstar.
Marie: That’s a lovely name.
Northstar: *blushes*
Thrax: *smiles and gently lays Northstar into Marie's lap*
Northstar: *sucks her thumb, looking up into Marie's face*
Marie: *gently strokes her face, softly purring she holds the girl close*
Thrax: *smiles at the two, tossing his dreads back*
Northstar: You purr too?
Marie: *nods* Yes, Thrax inherited it from me. *nuzzles her softly*
Vic: It's a virus thing. though Marie has a softer purr than I do.
Marie: *smirks at him*
Northstar: *Softly* she's a girl. isn't she s'pposed to?
Thrax: *chuckles* Yes, a female would be softer than a male's.
Northstar: *sucks her thumb and leans on Marie a little*
Marie: *holds her close, rubbing her back*
Thrax: *softly smiles at the two with pride*
Northstar: *softly* Are all viruses warm?
Thrax & Marie: *chuckles* It's just our family.
Ozzy: Makes em comfy to cuddle huh? *huggles Marie*
Marie: *softly laughs, hugging Ozzy back and strokes his cheek*
Ozzy: *chuckles softly and rubs the top of Northstar' head*
Thrax: *smirks* You three seem content.
Marie: *gives him a slight smile then nuzzles her two grand-children*
Northstar: *reaches up and takes hold of some of her hair*
Marie: *gently takes Northstar's hand and massages her knuckles gently*
Northstar: *tilts her head a little bit and looks at Marie's hands*
Marie: *allows her to look but makes sure she doesn't go near the tips*
Thrax: *keeps watch on Northstar as well*
Northstar: *reaches for Marie's hair a little and plays with it*
Thrax & Marie: *exchange smiles and chuckle a bit as they watch Northstar playing*
Northstar: *starts to braid her hair*
Vic: *chuckles*
Marie: *softly nuzzles Northstar* Never thought we'd come across such a beautiful angel.
Thrax: *nods in agreement*
Northstar: I'm not a angel. I’m a unicorn.
Marie: *looks at her shocked* What?
Thrax: *shakes his head* Cat's outta the bag.
Ozzy: She’s a what? *he tilts his head not having seen her in her birth form yet, just the one he brought her home in and honestly he thinks she's playing*
Thrax: *sighs* We'll have to tell them the truth honey. *turns to his parents and son* But first you'll have to promise never to reveal this to anyone.
Marie: You have my word, my son. *nuzzles Northstar*
Vic: *nods* I promise son.
Ozzy: Me too. I promise I won’t breathe a word.
Thrax: *inhales deeply* Okay the second night after Northstar’s arrival I was awaken by a gentle breath near my skin and when I awoke I saw a pure white unicorn standing there. At first in thought I was dreaming but the creature motioned to Northstar’s room as if something was wrong. When I entered her bedroom she was curled up under the covers but when I pulled them back I saw a young unicorn laying there on the bed.
Northstar: *sucks her thumb looking up at Thrax as he tells them of that night*
Thrax: I couldn't believe what I was seeing but when I saw those innocent starry eyes I knew it was her. I stay with her the rest of the night, holding her in that form and when I looked out the window where the older unicorn was standing, it nodded at me as though smiling and in a blink of an eye it vanished.
Ozzy: So was the big one... like a ghost?
Thrax: Hard to say but the odd think was it looked a little like Northstar in her true form.
Vic: I see.. *looks to the young one in Marie's lap whom is still sucking her thumb and looking a little nervous*
Thrax: Northstar? Honey? Do you know her?
Northstar: *softly* That sounds like my mommy...
Thrax: Hmmm. . . the way she looked it was like she entrusting you to me but how would she truly know.
Northstar: I dunno.
Thrax: *strokes her hair* Seeing her, I would defiantly say you're your mother's daughter.
Northstar: *smiles a little*
Thrax: *kisses her forehead*
Marie: *smiles* That would explain why I sense pure innocence in you, young one.
Northstar: *tilts her head a little and looks at her family*
Ozzy: A unicorn huh... really?
Thrax: *nods* Would actually explain why she's a vegetarian.
Marie: And would explain her bright eyes as well.
Ozzy: And why she said last time she had meat she got sick.
Thrax: Yes, unicorn's are pure creatures that have special abilities and powers that make them very valuable. So we can't reveal this to anyone for I'd rather be thrown in the alcohol again than see her get hurt.
Marie: Amen to that. *nuzzles Northstar, purring*
Northstar: *nuzzles her back a little and coos softly*
Thrax: *smiles at the two* We promise, my jewel, that we'll protect you from any danger or threat.
Northstar: *reaches for Thrax*
Thrax: *takes her in his arms, setting her on his lap* You here with family that love you and will always be there for you. *kisses her forehead, holding her close*
Marie: *wipes away a tear of joy from her eye*
Northstar: *softly* I love you too.
Thrax: *softly purrs to her* We know, honey.
Ozzy: *smiles and morphs a bit, ending up in Marie's lap*
Marie: *chuckles, hugging Ozzy to her chest*
Northstar: Whoa how do you do that?
Ozzy: it's a cell thing. *stretches his arm out to huggle her and Thrax then brings it back to normal, causing her to giggle and forget that she was just a minute ago intimidated by this room full of people*
Thrax & Marie: *slightly snigger at Ozzy's trick*
Vic: *chuckles softly as well
Ozzy: lets her have his hand when she reaches for it and laughs softly when she ties two of his fingers in a knot*
Thrax: *strokes the back of her head* Your enjoying yourself.
Marie: They both are. *rubs Ozzy's side*
Ozzy: *chuckles* Seems she has a new toy.
Thrax: *nuzzles Northstar* Just don't play too rough you two.
Ozzy: *playfully* And no tying me in knots while I'm asleep.
Northstar: *giggles at the image*
Thrax & Marie: *laugh as well at the very thought*
Ozzy: *chuckles softly and cuddles Marie.
Marie: *begins humming to Ozzy while rubbing his back*
Thrax: *cradles Northstar close as he listens to her*
Ozzy: *smiles softly* What's that tune?
Marie: Lullaby for a Stormy Night, I se to sing it to Thrax when he was younger to calm him.
Thrax: *blushes but can't help smile a the memory.*
Ozzy: *smiles* Awww.
Marie: *begins singing tune softly while Thrax tries to stay awake while she sings it*
Northstar: * doesn't take her eyes off Marie as she sings seeming captivated by it*
Marie: *continues the soothing tune as she cradles Ozzy close to her*
Thrax: *shakes the sleepy feeling off, holding Northstar close to him*
Marie: *notices Thrax's reaction and keeps singing*
Northstar: *cuddles up close to Thrax and starts to suck her thumb, listening to the tune*
Thrax: *gently strokes her hair, continuing to listen to his mother's singing but tries his best to stay awake.*
Northstar: *cuddles into his chest and coos softly, starting to drift off*
Vic: *smiles softly, restraining a chuckle as he watches the adorable scene*
Marie: *singing the tune in a low melody*
Thrax: *can't suppress it any longer, lays his head back and falls asleep*
Northstar: *isn't far behind, snuggling into Thrax's chest*
Vic: *chuckles softly and gestures to Ozzy, whom is also fast asleep against Marie, his thumb in his mouth*
Marie: *silently chuckles before finishing the tune then whispers to Vic* Maybe now Thrax can get some real sleep. *quietly gets to her feet and gently take Northstar into her arms, holding her sleeping grand-children close*
Vic: *nods* Indeed so. *very gently takes Thrax into his arms and holds his precious son close to him*
Marie: *smiles at him* C'mon you two, time for bed. *carries the two 'kids' to their rooms before tucking them in and kisses their foreheads*
Vic; *picks Thrax up carefully and carries him to his room*
Northstar: *yawns a little in her sleep and clings softly to her shirt*
Marie: *softly smiles at her, gently easing Northstar's grip from her shirt* Goodnight, little one. *kisses her forehead then exits the room and does the same with Ozzy*
Thrax: *softly moans, laying against his father's broad chest*
Vic: *picks him up and lightly pats his back as he walks with him*
Marie: *enters the hallway and sees her husband and son* Now why does this look familiar? *smiles at the two*
Vic: *chuckles softly* Hmm... I dunno... why ever could it be familiar?
Marie: *approaches them, whispering* Maybe it's because I've seen you both like this years before.
Thrax: *snuggles into Vic's chest, softly purring*
Vic: *smiles purring back to his son and stroking his hair*
Marie: *leans against the wall, smiling* It's been so long since I've seen this. *reaches out and strokes Thrax's cheek lightly*
Thrax: *moans slightly at his mother's touch and cuddles close to Vic*
Vic: *smiles* Remember when he was little*
Marie: I remember. *smiles* The times we spent together were rare because were always on alert and didn't wish to drag him into our problems but they were special none the less'
Vic: *rubs Thrax's back*
Marie: *kisses Thrax's forehead* Might be best if we stay the night, I'm sure they won't mind.
Vic: I agree. *smiles*
Marie: The couch downstairs becomes a double bed. *strokes Thrax's face* Put our son to bed while I fix it up.
Vic: *nods* Alright. *gives her a kiss on the cheek and stands with Thrax in his arms*
Marie: *kisses him back and heads to the living room*
Thrax: *nuzzles deep into Vic's chest, sleeping soundly*
Vic: *lays him on the bed and carefully removes his son's coat and shoes to make him more comfortable then tucks him in*
Thrax: *gently snuggles down into the covers as Vic tucks him in*
Vic: *kisses Thrax on the forehead* Sweet dreams my son.
Thrax: *slight smile plays on his lips, allowing a deep sleep to take for a long night*
Marie: *finishes setting up the bed and waits for Vic*
Vic: *Strokes his face fondly before heading downstairs with his wife*
Marie: *approaches him and kisses his lips*
Vic: *kisses her back and smiles* Ozzy and Northstar asleep still?
Marie: *nods* Yes, both are out like a light for the night.
Vic: *chuckles and sits next to her nuzzling*(
Marie: *lays back on the couch-bed, her long hair flowing in every direction*
Vic: *lays next to her and wraps his arms around her*
Marie: *snuggles close him, purring before closing her eyes and settling to sleep*
Vic: *smiles warmly at her and holds her close as he settles to sleep as well*
Marie: *with Thrax settled she is able to get a good sleep as well*
Ozzy: I'll get it. *goes to the door and answers it*U
*Vic and Marie are standing there, though Marie looks as if a gust of wind could knock her over*
Marie: *smiles weakly to him* Hello, little one.

Thrax: Yes, unicorn's are pure creatures that have special abilities and powers that make them very valuable. So we can't reveal this to anyone for I'd rather be thrown in the alcohol again than see her get hurt.
Marie: Amen to that. *nuzzles Northstar, purring*
Northstar: *nuzzles her back a little and coos softly*
Thrax: *smiles at the two* We promise, my jewel, that we'll protect you from any danger or threat.
Northstar: *reaches for Thrax*
Thrax: *takes her in his arms, setting her on his lap* You here with family that love you and will always be there for you. *kisses her forehead, holding her close*
Marie: *wipes away a tear of joy from her eye*
Northstar: *softly* I love you too.
Thrax: *softly purrs to her* We know, honey.
Ozzy: *smiles and morphs a bit, ending up in Marie's lap*
Marie: *chuckles, hugging Ozzy to her chest*
Northstar: Whoa how do you do that?
Ozzy: it's a cell thing. *stretches his arm out to huggle her and Thrax then brings it back to normal, causing her to giggle and forget that she was just a minute ago intimidated by this room full of people*
Thrax & Marie: *slightly snigger at Ozzy's trick*
Vic: *chuckles softly as well
Ozzy: lets her have his hand when she reaches for it and laughs softly when she ties two of his fingers in a knot*
Thrax: *strokes the back of her head* Your enjoying yourself.
Marie: They both are. *rubs Ozzy's side*
Ozzy: *chuckles* Seems she has a new toy.
Thrax: *nuzzles Northstar* Just don't play too rough you two.
Ozzy: *playfully* And no tying me in knots while I'm asleep.
Northstar: *giggles at the image*
Thrax & Marie: *laugh as well at the very thought*
Ozzy: *chuckles softly and cuddles Marie.
Marie: *begins humming to Ozzy while rubbing his back*
Thrax: *cradles Northstar close as he listens to her*
Ozzy: *smiles softly* What's that tune?
Marie: Lullaby for a Stormy Night, I se to sing it to Thrax when he was younger to calm him.
Thrax: *blushes but can't help smile a the memory.*
Ozzy: *smiles* Awww.
Marie: *begins singing tune softly while Thrax tries to stay awake while she sings it*
Northstar: * doesn't take her eyes off Marie as she sings seeming captivated by it*
Marie: *continues the soothing tune as she cradles Ozzy close to her*
Thrax: *shakes the sleepy feeling off, holding Northstar close to him*
Marie: *notices Thrax's reaction and keeps singing*
Northstar: *cuddles up close to Thrax and starts to suck her thumb, listening to the tune*
Thrax: *gently strokes her hair, continuing to listen to his mother's singing but tries his best to stay awake.*
Northstar: *cuddles into his chest and coos softly, starting to drift off*
Vic: *smiles softly, restraining a chuckle as he watches the adorable scene*
Marie: *singing the tune in a low melody*
Thrax: *can't suppress it any longer, lays his head back and falls asleep*
Northstar: *isn't far behind, snuggling into Thrax's chest*
Vic: *chuckles softly and gestures to Ozzy, whom is also fast asleep against Marie, his thumb in his mouth*
Marie: *silently chuckles before finishing the tune then whispers to Vic* Maybe now Thrax can get some real sleep. *quietly gets to her feet and gently take Northstar into her arms, holding her sleeping grand-children close*
Vic: *nods* Indeed so. *very gently takes Thrax into his arms and holds his precious son close to him*
Marie: *smiles at him* C'mon you two, time for bed. *carries the two 'kids' to their rooms before tucking them in and kisses their foreheads*
Vic; *picks Thrax up carefully and carries him to his room*
Northstar: *yawns a little in her sleep and clings softly to her shirt*
Marie: *softly smiles at her, gently easing Northstar's grip from her shirt* Goodnight, little one. *kisses her forehead then exits the room and does the same with Ozzy*
Thrax: *softly moans, laying against his father's broad chest*
Vic: *picks him up and lightly pats his back as he walks with him*
Marie: *enters the hallway and sees her husband and son* Now why does this look familiar? *smiles at the two*
Vic: *chuckles softly* Hmm... I dunno... why ever could it be familiar?
Marie: *approaches them, whispering* Maybe it's because I've seen you both like this years before.
Thrax: *snuggles into Vic's chest, softly purring*
Vic: *smiles purring back to his son and stroking his hair*
Marie: *leans against the wall, smiling* It's been so long since I've seen this. *reaches out and strokes Thrax's cheek lightly*
Thrax: *moans slightly at his mother's touch and cuddles close to Vic*
Vic: *smiles* Remember when he was little*
Marie: I remember. *smiles* The times we spent together were rare because were always on alert and didn't wish to drag him into our problems but they were special none the less'
Vic: *rubs Thrax's back*
Marie: *kisses Thrax's forehead* Might be best if we stay the night, I'm sure they won't mind.
Vic: I agree. *smiles*
Marie: The couch downstairs becomes a double bed. *strokes Thrax's face* Put our son to bed while I fix it up.
Vic: *nods* Alright. *gives her a kiss on the cheek and stands with Thrax in his arms*
Marie: *kisses him back and heads to the living room*
Thrax: *nuzzles deep into Vic's chest, sleeping soundly*
Vic: *lays him on the bed and carefully removes his son's coat and shoes to make him more comfortable then tucks him in*
Thrax: *gently snuggles down into the covers as Vic tucks him in*
Vic: *kisses Thrax on the forehead* Sweet dreams my son.
Thrax: *slight smile plays on his lips, allowing a deep sleep to take for a long night*
Marie: *finishes setting up the bed and waits for Vic*
Vic: *Strokes his face fondly before heading downstairs with his wife*
Marie: *approaches him and kisses his lips*
Vic: *kisses her back and smiles* Ozzy and Northstar asleep still?
Marie: *nods* Yes, both are out like a light for the night.
Vic: *chuckles and sits next to her nuzzling*(
Marie: *lays back on the couch-bed, her long hair flowing in every direction*
Vic: *lays next to her and wraps his arms around her*
Marie: *snuggles close him, purring before closing her eyes and settling to sleep*
Vic: *smiles warmly at her and holds her close as he settles to sleep as well*
Marie: *with Thrax settled she is able to get a good sleep as well*

Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp 66)
*Morning*
Ozzy: *gets up and stretches, looking for Thrax... after a quick run to the potty
Thrax: *has been cooking in the kitchen for the last half hour and finishes setting the table.*
Ozzy: *walks over to him.* had trouble sleeping again?
Thrax: *sighs* Yeah. *fills up a large mug of coffee*
Ozzy: *sits next to him and kisses his cheek*
Thrax: *kisses him back and takes a long swallow of coffee*
Ozzy: *kisses him on the cheek again and has some coffee as well*
Thrax: *runs his fingers through his dreads* I don't know what I'm going to do if I keep having these nightmares.
Ozzy: Have you talked to Grammy?
Thrax: *shakes his head* I've tried but she in the same state I am.
Ozzy: ... that sucks... I wish I could be of help.
Thrax: *places his head in his hands* I don't there's anything you could do, sweetie.
Ozzy: *hugs him*
Thrax: *returns it* I'll be alright, you don't have to worry.
Ozzy: I hope so
Thrax: *taps Ozzy's nose* I will, baby.
Ozzy: *kisses him on the forehead*
Thrax: *nuzzles him* Now eat your breakfast, I'll see if Northstar is up. *gets up and heads to her room*
Northstar: *still fast asleep
Thrax: *sits on the edge of the bed and strokes her face* Northstar? Honey it's time to get up.
Northstar: *yawns a little and rolls over'
Thrax: *gives her a gentle shake*
Northstar: *stirs and rubs her eyes, yawning*
Thrax: *smiles* Morning, my little jewel. *kisses her forehead*
Northstar: *yawns a little and sits up*
Thrax: *strokes her face* Did you sleep okay?
Northstar: I think so.
Thrax: *strokes her hair* You hungry?
Northstar: *nods* uh huh
Thrax: Scrambled eggs and toast okay for you? *offers his hand*
Northstar: *nods* Uh huh... can I have cheese on it?
Thrax: *chuckles* You sure love cheese don't you?
Northstar: Uh huh!
Thrax: *lifts her up* C'mon then. *carries her down to the kitchen*
Northstar: *hugs him around the neck*
Thrax: *strokes her hair and sets her down at the table before taking his seat and pours himself another mug of coffee*
Northstar: can I have some? *reaches for the coffee
Thrax: I don't know if you'll like it but you can try. *pours a little bit into a small cup for her* Would you like sugar or cream?
Northstar: *nods* uh huh.
Thrax: *adds some cream and sugar to the cup and heads it to her*
Northstar: *drinks it*
Thrax: *drinks his, the hot liquid washing down his throat* *massages his eyes as redness in them becomes darker*
Northstar: Are you ok?
Thrax: Just haven't been sleeping well that's all.
Northstar: Why?
Thrax: Nightmares but they're actually bad memories and fears.
Northstar: Is that what nightmares are?
Thrax: To me, yes.
Northstar: Oh..
Thrax: *drinks the last of his coffee and places his head in his hands*
Northstar: *nuzzles a lil*
Thrax: *looks towards his children* I don't know what I'm going to do, they're just getting worse.
Northstar: How come?
Thrax: No matter how much I try to suppress them they keep coming back even when the threat is gone.
Northstar: are you scared it'll come back?
Thrax: Despite all that has happened I gone through too much pain and sorrow for it to fade.
Northstar: *looks at him*
Thrax: Even though the City knows and the cause has been eliminated there are still those that frown upon my family.
Northstar: Oh.. *pokes at her eggs al il*
Thrax: *places his hand over his mouth and runs to the bathroom*
Northstar: *jumps a little and is held back gently by Ozzy*
Thrax: *throws up what was in his stomach and groans holding his head*
Ozzy: Finish your breakfast lil bit. *goes to check on Thrax* dad?
Thrax: *curse in a mixture of Spanish and his native tongue*
Ozzy: *kneels next to him and rubs his back*
Thrax: *continues throwing up, his face beginning to pale*
Ozzy: whoa.. easy ... easy you have to calm down
Thrax: *starts shakening, his mouth beginning to foam*
Ozzy: *frowns and takes out his cell phone, calling Marie immediately*
Marie: H-he-ello? *she sound like was having the same problems as Thrax*
Ozzy: G-grams? Are you ok? Something's wrong with dad.
Marie: I know. *suddenly drops the phone, running the bathroom*
Ozzy: *swears softly and looks at Thrax*
Thrax: *struggles getting on his feet, leaning against the wall* Hell. *groans*
Ozzy: *looks at him, worried*
Thrax: *staggers out of the bathroom and heads to the living room, collapsing on the couch*
Ozzy: I'm gonna call Doug'
Thrax: *holds his hand up* Don't, I'm sure it'll pass.
Ozzy: Your mom's in pain too.
Thrax: *breathes ragged* Remember we both share a connection so of course she in pain as well.
Ozzy: I'm still calling Doug... *dialling already, worried*
Thrax: *snatches the phone away from Ozzy and cancels the call* Look Ozzy it's nothing for you to worry about we'll be fine.
Ozzy: *gives him a worried look*
Thrax: Trust me Ozzy, I’ve gone through worse and can overcome it.
Ozzy: *softly* j... just please... get better soon ok? Please... *looks into his eyes*
Thrax: *kisses his forehead* I will baby I promise.
Ozzy: nuzzles him*
Thrax: *nuzzles him back and goes back to the kitchen to clean up*
Northstar: *glomps his legs*
Thrax: *looks down at her smiling* Enjoy your breakfast, honey?
Northstar: *looks up at him, apparently having been worried too
Thrax: *strokes her hair* There's no need to worry, honey.
Northstar: *sucks her thumb*
Thrax: *smiles and continues cleaning up the kitchen*
Ozzy helps*
Thrax: You have work today Ozzy? *sets the dishes away*
Ozzy: *nods* Yeah.
Thrax: Then I suggest you get ready, they'll think I'm going easy on you if you're late.
Ozzy: Heh yeah... You'll be ok?
Thrax: *waves his hand* I'll be fine Ozzy, it's nothing to worry about.
Ozzy: Alright. *kisses him on the cheek* You take care ok. Love you.
Thrax: *nuzzles him* Love you too, baby.
Ozzy: *starts to get ready *
Northstar: *takes hold of his hand* me too. *holds her arms up for a hug*
Thrax: *softly chuckles, scooping her up into his arms and holds her close* And you know I love you both. *kisses her forehead*
Northstar: *nuzzles him a little*
Ozzy: *smiles and rubs her head* See you guys later
Thrax: Remember Ozzy: you're late, you're grounded and if you endanger yourself and/or others you know what's coming.
Ozzy: *nods* Yes sir. I'll be good .
Thrax: *nods, smiling* Good boy.
Ozzy: *smiles at him and heads to work*
Thrax: *shakes his head as he watches Ozzy leave* He may be trouble but he's worth it.
Northstar: *looks up at him* Are you ok?
Thrax: *kisses her cheek* I'm fine, this is normal for me.
Northstar: Being sick?
Thrax: After my nightmares, the scenes in them always make me sick as well as the memories.
Northstar: Oh... *nuzzles a little* Do you need a doctor?
Thrax: *shakes his head* No, I'm sure it'll pass.
NS: *nuzzles a little* Ok.
Thrax: *nuzzles her the lifts her chin* I'm suppose to worry about you two not the other way round.
Northstar: *smiles at him and kisses him on the cheek*
Thrax: *smiles back* Now the only question is: what to do today?
Northstar: Can we go play?
Thrax: In the back garden or would you like to go some where else?
Northstar: *nods* Uh huh.
Thrax: Where do you wish to go?
Northstar: Is there a park?
Thrax: There's one just few blocks away from here. C'mon let's get ready. *carries her to her room*
Northstar: *goes to pick out some clothes to get dressed*
Thrax: *turns away as she dresses* I brought you some new clothes when I went shopping. Hope they're alright.
Northstar: They are. *finishes putting on her pants and shirt*
Thrax: *softly smiles then goes to grab his jacket on* I just hope no one asks any questions if they see us. *straightens his trench coat and goes back to Northstar's room*
Northstar: *comes out of her room, all dressed and ready to go
Thrax: Let's go then. *offers his hand to her*
Northstar: *takes it and looks up at him perkily.
Thrax: *leaves their home, locking the door before taking her to the park*
Northstar: *holds his hand on the way*
Thrax: *kneels in front of Northstar when they arrive* Now I want you be careful okay and come get me if there's trouble.
Northstar: ok. *hugs him around the shoulders and goes to play*
Thrax: *smiles, taking a seat on the bench near by to keep an eye on his daughter*
Northstar: *goes directly for the swings*
Thrax: *whispers* Glad to see she's finally happy. *keeps a close watch on her as leans his body against the bench*
Northstar: *gravitates toward a few particular bits of play equipment but the swings seem to be her favourite*
Thrax: *softly as he watches Northstar playing bit soon tenses up as he notices the cells staring*
Northstar: *is blissfully unaware of the stares and continues to play*
Thrax: *ears twitch as he hears what they are saying about them and a low growl comes from his throat as a warning to them*
*the cells back off slightly at Thrax's growl and whisper to each about not making him mad*
Northstar: *starts to climb the ladder to the slide*
Thrax: *turns back to his daughter's direction and smiles at her* At least she's having fun.
Northstar: Daddy come catch me! *sitting on top of the slide*
Thrax: *shocked at what she called him but smiles as he makes his way over to her*
Northstar *slides down as soon as he's over there*
Thrax: *catches her and lifts her into the air, smiling*
NS: *lets out a giggle though clings onto his arms, he's taller than Ozzy and heights scare her*
Thrax: *gently hugs her close, sensing her fear* It's okay there nothing to be afraid of. *kisses her forehead*
Northstar: How come you're wearing a jacket. Are you cold?
Thrax: *chuckles* No sweetie, this just makes me look tougher but it can also help me glide.
Northstar: You can fly?
Thrax: It's gliding than flying really.
Northstar: How doe sit help you glide?
Thrax: *stretches out part of his trench coat like a wing* As you can see when stretched it can catch the wind or a draft that can help me glide.
Northstar: *reaches up and touches it a little*
Thrax: *brings it round and wraps it around Northstar*
Northstar: *coos a little and cuddles close*
Thrax: *strokes her hair, purring softly*
Northstar: *sucks her thumb*
Thrax: *smiles at her, sitting back on the bench*
Northstar: *tummy rumbles*
Thrax: *chuckles* Guess we better head home for lunch. *gets to his feet and leads Northstar back home*
Northstar: *holds his hand on the way home*
Thrax: *heads into the kitchen when they arrive* Mac n' cheese okay for you, honey?
Northstar: Uh huh! *like most kids, Mac and cheese is almost a gourmet meal to her*
Thrax: *smiles and begins cooking for her.*
Northstar: *hops up onto the counter*
Thrax: *sets her lunch on the table with a glass of milk and some water for himself* Lunch is ready, honey. *takes a seat at the table*
Northstar: *sits next to him and munches on her lunch, drinking her milk*
Thrax: *takes a few slips of water as he watches her*
Northstar: *drinks her milk*
Thrax: *leans back on the chair* You don't have to worry about what this City says of you, it takes them a while to accept a new being.
Northstar: Were they saying stuff?
Thrax: *nods* Someone with your appearance would seem strange to them but they'll get over it.
Northstar: Oh. *finishes her lunch and gets into his lap*
Thrax: *holds her close* Let them talk, we never listen to that kind of thing.
Northstar: *nods* can we play in the garden some?
Thrax: *strokes her cheek* Go ahead sweetie but stay close.
Northstar: *nods and goes outside*
Thrax: *clean up the kitchen then grabs a book off the shelf and follows her outside, taking a seat on the deck chair*
Northstar: *ducks into the bushes and giggles as she plays a game*
Thrax: *lightly chuckles as she plays, his ears alert in cause of any intruders*
Northstar: *Comes out of a bush following a lil bug*
Thrax: *looks towards her* Northstar remember what I said about things are not as they seems in this body.
Northstar: *looks up at him* I remember.
Thrax: *flexes his claws slightly and goes back to his reading*
Northstar: *still seems pretty fascinated by the bug*
Thrax: *despite having his nose in the book, keeps on high alert for any trespassers*
Northstar: * brings him a little lizard like creature* Look what I found! ^_^
Thrax: *raises a brow at the small lizard* Where did you find that?
Northstar: Over there. *points to a bucket* isn't he cute.
Thrax: *gives a sceptical look* Cute isn't the world I'm lookin' for.
Northstar: *picks up the lil critter and actually kisses it on the head*
Thrax: *cringes as she does this and shudders*
Northstar: *seems oblivious and happily cuddles the creature*
Thrax: *sighs*, shaking his head* Don't think you're keep him, Northstar.
Northstar: Can I come visit him when I come to play? His house is over there. *Points to the bush*
Thrax: Just don't bring him into the house and making sure to wash your hands after handling him.
Northstar: Ok. *gets into his lap, lizard and all, and lets the creature walk on her hands while she coos to it and pets it and tells it how cute it is*
Thrax: *shudders slightly at the creature but wraps his arms round Northstar*
Northstar: *after holding the creature for a little while* I think he wants to go back to his house.
Thrax: *lifts Northstar off his lap* Then bring him to his home, honey.
Northstar: *heads to the bushes and lets the creature go by allowing it to crawl on the branch before going back to him* He had to put his children to bed.
Thrax: *chuckles and strokes her hair* And I'll be doing the same for you and Ozzy in a few hours.
Northstar: Why?
Thrax: *kisses her forehead, whispering* Take a guess, my daughter.
Northstar: *grins*, being silly* why?
Thrax: *nuzzles her* unless you forget I have children to care for as well.
Northstar: *giggles*
Thrax: *purrs softly to her*
*suddenly something hard smacks right into the side of Thrax's temple*
Thrax: What the-? *looks over and sees a group of teenaged cells shouting at them* Northstar get to your room until I return. *sets her down*
Northstar: *goes inside*
Thrax: *stands up, cracking his knuckles and it was over in a flash as the cells lay on the ground groaning, battered and bruised* Now to take you where ya won't cause any more trouble. *ties them up and brings them to the FPD before returning home*
*Northstar is in her room playing with her toys under the covers.
Thrax: *comes in holding an ice pack to his head and sits down on the bed* I see you've found the toys Ozzy brought you.
Northstar: *looks up at him and goes over* Are you ok?
Thrax: I'll be fine it's just a headache, that's all.
Northstar: Can I see?
Thrax: *removes the ice pack revealing a slight gash on his temple, bruised around the edges*
Northstar: *stands up on the bed and puts her hand next to it, frowning* Poor daddy... *kisses the wound as her mother used to when she would get hurt and just as her mother used to she literally 'kisses it better' having a natural ability to heal*
Thrax: *runs his claws over where the wound was* Thanks but you didn't have to do that, I've gone through worse.
Northstar: *just smiles and holds her arms up to him*
Thrax: *lifts her up into his arms, cradling her close* *because of the sagging and tightening of his skin, his old scars even the faint ones begin to show*
Northstar: *lightly traces one of them with her finger*
Thrax: *gently takes her hand massaging it in his own* There no need to be afraid I bare them with honour *turns away* but also resentment.
Northstar: *softly* Why?
Thrax: *clenches his fist* Most of them I received trying to protect my family but there were times that I failed.
Northstar: *kisses him on the cheek again*
Thrax: *strokes her hair, kissing her forehead*
Northstar: *nuzzles into his chest a little*
Thrax: They are reminders of my mistakes and I don't wish to repeat them.
Northstar: Does your head still hurt?
Thrax: Not a bad but it'll clear.
Northstar: *kisses him on the forehead* I
Thrax: *nuzzles her* I'll be okay, there's no need to worry.
Northstar: *smiles a little* Will you play with me?
Thrax: *smiles* What is you wish to play, honey?
Northstar: *goes and gests some of her toys and brings them over, smiling, wanting to make up a game with him*
Thrax: *smiles towards her* -Should have guessed.-
Northstar: *giggles softly and plays happily with her new daddy*
Thrax: *plays along with her, softly laughing*
Ozzy: *gets up and stretches, looking for Thrax... after a quick run to the potty
Thrax: *has been cooking in the kitchen for the last half hour and finishes setting the table.*
Ozzy: *walks over to him.* had trouble sleeping again?
Thrax: *sighs* Yeah. *fills up a large mug of coffee*
Ozzy: *sits next to him and kisses his cheek*
Thrax: *kisses him back and takes a long swallow of coffee*
Ozzy: *kisses him on the cheek again and has some coffee as well*
Thrax: *runs his fingers through his dreads* I don't know what I'm going to do if I keep having these nightmares.
Ozzy: Have you talked to Grammy?
Thrax: *shakes his head* I've tried but she in the same state I am.
Ozzy: ... that sucks... I wish I could be of help.
Thrax: *places his head in his hands* I don't there's anything you could do, sweetie.
Ozzy: *hugs him*
Thrax: *returns it* I'll be alright, you don't have to worry.
Ozzy: I hope so
Thrax: *taps Ozzy's nose* I will, baby.
Ozzy: *kisses him on the forehead*
Thrax: *nuzzles him* Now eat your breakfast, I'll see if Northstar is up. *gets up and heads to her room*
Northstar: *still fast asleep
Thrax: *sits on the edge of the bed and strokes her face* Northstar? Honey it's time to get up.
Northstar: *yawns a little and rolls over'
Thrax: *gives her a gentle shake*
Northstar: *stirs and rubs her eyes, yawning*
Thrax: *smiles* Morning, my little jewel. *kisses her forehead*
Northstar: *yawns a little and sits up*
Thrax: *strokes her face* Did you sleep okay?
Northstar: I think so.
Thrax: *strokes her hair* You hungry?
Northstar: *nods* uh huh
Thrax: Scrambled eggs and toast okay for you? *offers his hand*
Northstar: *nods* Uh huh... can I have cheese on it?
Thrax: *chuckles* You sure love cheese don't you?
Northstar: Uh huh!
Thrax: *lifts her up* C'mon then. *carries her down to the kitchen*
Northstar: *hugs him around the neck*
Thrax: *strokes her hair and sets her down at the table before taking his seat and pours himself another mug of coffee*
Northstar: can I have some? *reaches for the coffee
Thrax: I don't know if you'll like it but you can try. *pours a little bit into a small cup for her* Would you like sugar or cream?
Northstar: *nods* uh huh.
Thrax: *adds some cream and sugar to the cup and heads it to her*
Northstar: *drinks it*
Thrax: *drinks his, the hot liquid washing down his throat* *massages his eyes as redness in them becomes darker*
Northstar: Are you ok?
Thrax: Just haven't been sleeping well that's all.
Northstar: Why?
Thrax: Nightmares but they're actually bad memories and fears.
Northstar: Is that what nightmares are?
Thrax: To me, yes.
Northstar: Oh..
Thrax: *drinks the last of his coffee and places his head in his hands*
Northstar: *nuzzles a lil*
Thrax: *looks towards his children* I don't know what I'm going to do, they're just getting worse.
Northstar: How come?
Thrax: No matter how much I try to suppress them they keep coming back even when the threat is gone.
Northstar: are you scared it'll come back?
Thrax: Despite all that has happened I gone through too much pain and sorrow for it to fade.
Northstar: *looks at him*
Thrax: Even though the City knows and the cause has been eliminated there are still those that frown upon my family.
Northstar: Oh.. *pokes at her eggs al il*
Thrax: *places his hand over his mouth and runs to the bathroom*
Northstar: *jumps a little and is held back gently by Ozzy*
Thrax: *throws up what was in his stomach and groans holding his head*
Ozzy: Finish your breakfast lil bit. *goes to check on Thrax* dad?
Thrax: *curse in a mixture of Spanish and his native tongue*
Ozzy: *kneels next to him and rubs his back*
Thrax: *continues throwing up, his face beginning to pale*
Ozzy: whoa.. easy ... easy you have to calm down
Thrax: *starts shakening, his mouth beginning to foam*
Ozzy: *frowns and takes out his cell phone, calling Marie immediately*
Marie: H-he-ello? *she sound like was having the same problems as Thrax*
Ozzy: G-grams? Are you ok? Something's wrong with dad.
Marie: I know. *suddenly drops the phone, running the bathroom*
Ozzy: *swears softly and looks at Thrax*
Thrax: *struggles getting on his feet, leaning against the wall* Hell. *groans*
Ozzy: *looks at him, worried*
Thrax: *staggers out of the bathroom and heads to the living room, collapsing on the couch*
Ozzy: I'm gonna call Doug'
Thrax: *holds his hand up* Don't, I'm sure it'll pass.
Ozzy: Your mom's in pain too.
Thrax: *breathes ragged* Remember we both share a connection so of course she in pain as well.
Ozzy: I'm still calling Doug... *dialling already, worried*
Thrax: *snatches the phone away from Ozzy and cancels the call* Look Ozzy it's nothing for you to worry about we'll be fine.
Ozzy: *gives him a worried look*
Thrax: Trust me Ozzy, I’ve gone through worse and can overcome it.
Ozzy: *softly* j... just please... get better soon ok? Please... *looks into his eyes*
Thrax: *kisses his forehead* I will baby I promise.
Ozzy: nuzzles him*
Thrax: *nuzzles him back and goes back to the kitchen to clean up*
Northstar: *glomps his legs*
Thrax: *looks down at her smiling* Enjoy your breakfast, honey?
Northstar: *looks up at him, apparently having been worried too
Thrax: *strokes her hair* There's no need to worry, honey.
Northstar: *sucks her thumb*
Thrax: *smiles and continues cleaning up the kitchen*
Ozzy helps*
Thrax: You have work today Ozzy? *sets the dishes away*
Ozzy: *nods* Yeah.
Thrax: Then I suggest you get ready, they'll think I'm going easy on you if you're late.
Ozzy: Heh yeah... You'll be ok?
Thrax: *waves his hand* I'll be fine Ozzy, it's nothing to worry about.
Ozzy: Alright. *kisses him on the cheek* You take care ok. Love you.
Thrax: *nuzzles him* Love you too, baby.
Ozzy: *starts to get ready *
Northstar: *takes hold of his hand* me too. *holds her arms up for a hug*
Thrax: *softly chuckles, scooping her up into his arms and holds her close* And you know I love you both. *kisses her forehead*
Northstar: *nuzzles him a little*
Ozzy: *smiles and rubs her head* See you guys later
Thrax: Remember Ozzy: you're late, you're grounded and if you endanger yourself and/or others you know what's coming.
Ozzy: *nods* Yes sir. I'll be good .
Thrax: *nods, smiling* Good boy.
Ozzy: *smiles at him and heads to work*
Thrax: *shakes his head as he watches Ozzy leave* He may be trouble but he's worth it.
Northstar: *looks up at him* Are you ok?
Thrax: *kisses her cheek* I'm fine, this is normal for me.
Northstar: Being sick?
Thrax: After my nightmares, the scenes in them always make me sick as well as the memories.
Northstar: Oh... *nuzzles a little* Do you need a doctor?
Thrax: *shakes his head* No, I'm sure it'll pass.
NS: *nuzzles a little* Ok.
Thrax: *nuzzles her the lifts her chin* I'm suppose to worry about you two not the other way round.
Northstar: *smiles at him and kisses him on the cheek*
Thrax: *smiles back* Now the only question is: what to do today?
Northstar: Can we go play?
Thrax: In the back garden or would you like to go some where else?
Northstar: *nods* Uh huh.
Thrax: Where do you wish to go?
Northstar: Is there a park?
Thrax: There's one just few blocks away from here. C'mon let's get ready. *carries her to her room*
Northstar: *goes to pick out some clothes to get dressed*
Thrax: *turns away as she dresses* I brought you some new clothes when I went shopping. Hope they're alright.
Northstar: They are. *finishes putting on her pants and shirt*
Thrax: *softly smiles then goes to grab his jacket on* I just hope no one asks any questions if they see us. *straightens his trench coat and goes back to Northstar's room*
Northstar: *comes out of her room, all dressed and ready to go
Thrax: Let's go then. *offers his hand to her*
Northstar: *takes it and looks up at him perkily.
Thrax: *leaves their home, locking the door before taking her to the park*
Northstar: *holds his hand on the way*
Thrax: *kneels in front of Northstar when they arrive* Now I want you be careful okay and come get me if there's trouble.
Northstar: ok. *hugs him around the shoulders and goes to play*
Thrax: *smiles, taking a seat on the bench near by to keep an eye on his daughter*
Northstar: *goes directly for the swings*
Thrax: *whispers* Glad to see she's finally happy. *keeps a close watch on her as leans his body against the bench*
Northstar: *gravitates toward a few particular bits of play equipment but the swings seem to be her favourite*
Thrax: *softly as he watches Northstar playing bit soon tenses up as he notices the cells staring*
Northstar: *is blissfully unaware of the stares and continues to play*
Thrax: *ears twitch as he hears what they are saying about them and a low growl comes from his throat as a warning to them*
*the cells back off slightly at Thrax's growl and whisper to each about not making him mad*
Northstar: *starts to climb the ladder to the slide*
Thrax: *turns back to his daughter's direction and smiles at her* At least she's having fun.
Northstar: Daddy come catch me! *sitting on top of the slide*
Thrax: *shocked at what she called him but smiles as he makes his way over to her*
Northstar *slides down as soon as he's over there*
Thrax: *catches her and lifts her into the air, smiling*
NS: *lets out a giggle though clings onto his arms, he's taller than Ozzy and heights scare her*
Thrax: *gently hugs her close, sensing her fear* It's okay there nothing to be afraid of. *kisses her forehead*
Northstar: How come you're wearing a jacket. Are you cold?
Thrax: *chuckles* No sweetie, this just makes me look tougher but it can also help me glide.
Northstar: You can fly?
Thrax: It's gliding than flying really.
Northstar: How doe sit help you glide?
Thrax: *stretches out part of his trench coat like a wing* As you can see when stretched it can catch the wind or a draft that can help me glide.
Northstar: *reaches up and touches it a little*
Thrax: *brings it round and wraps it around Northstar*
Northstar: *coos a little and cuddles close*
Thrax: *strokes her hair, purring softly*
Northstar: *sucks her thumb*
Thrax: *smiles at her, sitting back on the bench*
Northstar: *tummy rumbles*
Thrax: *chuckles* Guess we better head home for lunch. *gets to his feet and leads Northstar back home*
Northstar: *holds his hand on the way home*
Thrax: *heads into the kitchen when they arrive* Mac n' cheese okay for you, honey?
Northstar: Uh huh! *like most kids, Mac and cheese is almost a gourmet meal to her*
Thrax: *smiles and begins cooking for her.*
Northstar: *hops up onto the counter*
Thrax: *sets her lunch on the table with a glass of milk and some water for himself* Lunch is ready, honey. *takes a seat at the table*
Northstar: *sits next to him and munches on her lunch, drinking her milk*
Thrax: *takes a few slips of water as he watches her*
Northstar: *drinks her milk*
Thrax: *leans back on the chair* You don't have to worry about what this City says of you, it takes them a while to accept a new being.
Northstar: Were they saying stuff?
Thrax: *nods* Someone with your appearance would seem strange to them but they'll get over it.
Northstar: Oh. *finishes her lunch and gets into his lap*
Thrax: *holds her close* Let them talk, we never listen to that kind of thing.
Northstar: *nods* can we play in the garden some?
Thrax: *strokes her cheek* Go ahead sweetie but stay close.
Northstar: *nods and goes outside*
Thrax: *clean up the kitchen then grabs a book off the shelf and follows her outside, taking a seat on the deck chair*
Northstar: *ducks into the bushes and giggles as she plays a game*
Thrax: *lightly chuckles as she plays, his ears alert in cause of any intruders*
Northstar: *Comes out of a bush following a lil bug*
Thrax: *looks towards her* Northstar remember what I said about things are not as they seems in this body.
Northstar: *looks up at him* I remember.
Thrax: *flexes his claws slightly and goes back to his reading*
Northstar: *still seems pretty fascinated by the bug*
Thrax: *despite having his nose in the book, keeps on high alert for any trespassers*
Northstar: * brings him a little lizard like creature* Look what I found! ^_^
Thrax: *raises a brow at the small lizard* Where did you find that?
Northstar: Over there. *points to a bucket* isn't he cute.
Thrax: *gives a sceptical look* Cute isn't the world I'm lookin' for.
Northstar: *picks up the lil critter and actually kisses it on the head*
Thrax: *cringes as she does this and shudders*
Northstar: *seems oblivious and happily cuddles the creature*
Thrax: *sighs*, shaking his head* Don't think you're keep him, Northstar.
Northstar: Can I come visit him when I come to play? His house is over there. *Points to the bush*
Thrax: Just don't bring him into the house and making sure to wash your hands after handling him.
Northstar: Ok. *gets into his lap, lizard and all, and lets the creature walk on her hands while she coos to it and pets it and tells it how cute it is*
Thrax: *shudders slightly at the creature but wraps his arms round Northstar*
Northstar: *after holding the creature for a little while* I think he wants to go back to his house.
Thrax: *lifts Northstar off his lap* Then bring him to his home, honey.
Northstar: *heads to the bushes and lets the creature go by allowing it to crawl on the branch before going back to him* He had to put his children to bed.
Thrax: *chuckles and strokes her hair* And I'll be doing the same for you and Ozzy in a few hours.
Northstar: Why?
Thrax: *kisses her forehead, whispering* Take a guess, my daughter.
Northstar: *grins*, being silly* why?
Thrax: *nuzzles her* unless you forget I have children to care for as well.
Northstar: *giggles*
Thrax: *purrs softly to her*
*suddenly something hard smacks right into the side of Thrax's temple*
Thrax: What the-? *looks over and sees a group of teenaged cells shouting at them* Northstar get to your room until I return. *sets her down*
Northstar: *goes inside*
Thrax: *stands up, cracking his knuckles and it was over in a flash as the cells lay on the ground groaning, battered and bruised* Now to take you where ya won't cause any more trouble. *ties them up and brings them to the FPD before returning home*
*Northstar is in her room playing with her toys under the covers.
Thrax: *comes in holding an ice pack to his head and sits down on the bed* I see you've found the toys Ozzy brought you.
Northstar: *looks up at him and goes over* Are you ok?
Thrax: I'll be fine it's just a headache, that's all.
Northstar: Can I see?
Thrax: *removes the ice pack revealing a slight gash on his temple, bruised around the edges*
Northstar: *stands up on the bed and puts her hand next to it, frowning* Poor daddy... *kisses the wound as her mother used to when she would get hurt and just as her mother used to she literally 'kisses it better' having a natural ability to heal*
Thrax: *runs his claws over where the wound was* Thanks but you didn't have to do that, I've gone through worse.

Thrax: *lifts her up into his arms, cradling her close* *because of the sagging and tightening of his skin, his old scars even the faint ones begin to show*
Northstar: *lightly traces one of them with her finger*
Thrax: *gently takes her hand massaging it in his own* There no need to be afraid I bare them with honour *turns away* but also resentment.
Northstar: *softly* Why?

Thrax: *nuzzles her* I'll be okay, there's no need to worry.
Northstar: *smiles a little* Will you play with me?
Thrax: *smiles* What is you wish to play, honey?
Northstar: *goes and gests some of her toys and brings them over, smiling, wanting to make up a game with him*
Thrax: *smiles towards her* -Should have guessed.-
Northstar: *giggles softly and plays happily with her new daddy*
Thrax: *plays along with her, softly laughing*
