Antonio; He's ozzy's son you idiot.
Dieter: Vell, I cant help it if he iz in zat profession
Antonio; 8growled8
Takashi: Baka ja nai no ka, Dieter oni-chan (Are you an idiot, Dieter)? Profession or not, he is still Ozzie-chan no kodomo-chan
Antonio; Besides he was born pure blooded cell, it was when he was spliced with a germ that the trouble began for him.
Ricardo: How do u knw abt tht?
Antonio; His scent
Takashi: Ne, doushite? Why is Nighto-san fused with a germ? *has started calling Nightingale by name instead of calling him "Ozzie-chan no kodomo-chan"*
Antonio; Probably for defencises.
Ricardo: Tht would be a bit drastic
Antonio; 8nods8
Dieter: Still, Alexis spends too much time vith him. He's got his own family here, u knw
Antonio; Let him be.
Takashi: Hai hai, Alexis oni-san is a big boy now, no more the kodomo-chan. He's got his own life now, wakata yo?

Takashi: *sighs n rolls his eyes in defeat as he held out his arm* Sa, dozo, Kia-chan
Kiaran: *looks up at him, grins n shook his head, n climbs up to him to get a shoulder-ride instead, hugging his head*
Antonio; 8smirked8

8the twins curled up with him8
Ozzie: *just finished cooking dinner n was setting up the table* Eh? Jared's home?
Thrax; Sounds like it.
Ozzie: *came out n chked n saw tht Jared was already fast asleep* Oh boy. Should we wake him for dinner?
Thrax; Makes up a plate for him and set it in the microwave.
Ozzie: Alright. U help me do it while I take him upstairs

Dieter: *rolled his eyes n ate*
Thrax; 8sighed and ate a little8
Takashi: Oeshi desu yo~! I can't help it
Ozzie: I'm flattered bt u dont have to rush. There's plenty more where tht came frm
Antonio; Don't make a pig of yourself.
*the twins picked up a scent n turns towards the door*
Thrax; 8caughts the scent to8 They're here.
Ozzie: *looks up* Who?
Takashi: *smells them* Eh, honto desu ne~!
Antonio; 8kicked him under the table8
Takashi: Itaii! Nani yo? I'm just agreeing with Thrax ottota-chan ne~!
Dieter: Aftr yrs of being together, u still dont understand his Japanese quirks
Nightingale: *following behind Alexis as they entered*
Thrax; Hey you two.
Alexis; 'Ey bro.
Nightingale: Hey guys. Sorry to barge in on u like this
Ozzie: My fav regular! No worries, man! Join us for dinner?
Antonio; There's plenty.
Ozzie: And for free
Nightingale: *chuckles* Well, I guess I'll stay for dinner then
Alexis; 8sat next to Thrax8
Nightingale: *sat beside Alexis*
Ozzie: *got extra eating utensils for them both*
Alexis; Thanks.
*they soon continued eating*
Ozzie: How's it hanging there, Nightingale?
Nightingale: *chuckled a little bitterly* Kinda lost my job, actually. My boss totally ran me dwn, coz I'm their company bread-winner, bt I guess I'm cool with tht. Though I suppose I'll have to move out once money runs low
Thrax; You could find another job.
Nightingale: I guess so. Though I doubt anyone would hire me with my looks right now. I look like someone who was straight frm a gangster mob *looks at his healings scars*
Antonio; We've seen worse and you're lucky to be alive.
Nightingale: I guess ur right
Ozzie: How abt working for me? We could use a helping hand
Alexis; 8nods8 Yeah, their buisness really brings in a crowd.
Nightingale: *chuckles* Yeah I can see tht. I swear I see some restaurants nearby were giving u the dirty looks
Hecro: Well, Oz is tearing up the competition aftr all
Antonio; Hard to believe it's just two people working there.
Nightingale: Well, I guess. Umm... *looks at Alexis n gave him a "Should I tell him?" look*
Alexis; 8nods8
Nightingale: I...uh...Jones?
Ozzie: Yeah?
Nightingale: I...I got something to tell u...
8everyone looked up8
Nightingale: I'm...well...U might not remember...n this might come as a shock to u bt...I'm...I'm ur son
Ozzie: *casually* Yeah, I knw tht
Thrax; 8stared at ozzy8
Dieter: *spit out his drink*
Takashi: *almost choked*
Ricardo: *dropped his spoon*
Nightingale: U...U knw...?
Ozzie: Yeah, at first sight. I've always known u were my son
Antonio; Then why'd ya put us through hell.
8even the kids were protesting8
Ozzie: Huh? U mean u guys knew he was my son all along?
Takashi: Moh~! Ozzie-chan~! We've known it a long time ago~! Doushite ne, Ozzie-chan~!
Ozzie: I...I didnt knw u guys knew, or I would've told u. I...I just didnt want to shock u abt this...Sorry...
Dieter: *massaged his temples* Osmosis mein bruder-in-law, u can be zo thick zometimes~!
Antonio; Stupido.
Ozzex: *glared at Antonio n threw his spoon at his head. Despite him protesting abt Oz, he hated it wen someone called his mother "Stupid"*
Rory; 8glared at him8
Nightingale: But...But why have u nvr approached me to talk abt it? Why didn't u...?
Ozzie: Because I thought YOU didn't remember. I was the odd one out of the guys who were chosen to split bodies during tht day. Evn though I dont remember, I was often plagued for months at tht time with recurring dreams of seeing myself splitting in half n trying to reach out bt nvr able to touch. Quite recently I had those dreams again, n wen I met u for the first time, the dreams became reality, n I knew it was a memory, not a dream. Bt u...u look so casual, like u didnt evn knw me, so I decided to keep to myself. Try thinking in my shoes: If u reli didnt remember me, n I approached u n suddenly say ur my son, how would u feel?
Nightingale: *blinked, shocked to knw tht he was thinking the same thing as well all along with Ozzie* Umm...Yeah...I guess ur right on tht...
Ozzie: So I just kept quiet, n let u come everyday to at least let me feed u like a father should. Seeing u all alive n well makes me feel contented, bt now knwing tht u do remember me, I... *covers his mouth as he held bk his tears*
Thrax; 8gently nudges him forward8
Alexis; 8did the same with Night8
*both Ozzie n Nightingale came towards each other, then fell into each other's arms, crying*
Nightingale: Daddy~! *sobs*
Ozzie: My son...! Oh, my son...!!
8the family looked at each other and smiled8
Takashi: TT_TT I love family reunions *cries tears of joy*
Dieter: *smiles weakly n shook his head as he put an arm ard Takashi's shoulders*
8the two pups danced around in joy8
*the kids high-fived each other*
Thrax; 8smiled8
Nightingale: Wht's my name, Daddy? U have to name me
Ozzie: Huh? Isnt Nightingale ur name?
Nightingale: *shakes his head* It's a nickname they conveniently gave me coz of my voice. U knw the tradition, Daddy. Name me
Alexis; 8cocked an ear8
Ozzie: *thinks for a moment, then smiles n caresses Nightingale's face* Miracle. Ur name will be Miracle Nightingale Jones-Roja, bcoz it's a miracle tht u r here now with me
Night: Miracle...Finally...I have a real name. Thank u, Daddy *hugs him*
Thrax; 8stood up8 Welcome to the family, son.
Night: Thanks, Pops *hugs him*
Hecro: Another bigger family. *grins* Now u have 9 kids instead of 8. U've reli got a brood here, Oz
Ozzie: *grins n blushed*
Thrax; 8caresses Miracle's hair8
Night (now Miracle): *leans close to the kids* Now I dont have to skulk ard daycare anymore
Ozzex: *laughs n leaps out of his highchair to hug him*
8the twins fallowed suit8
Ozzie: Daycare?
Miracle: *rolls his eyes* Don't ask. I reli hate sneaking ard
Antonio; You won't need to anymore8
Miracle: Yeah, I knw.
Hecro: So, u gonna go bk to stay in ur condo or r u moving in here?
Miracle: I...I dunno. I might be kicked out anyway once I cant pay the bills...
Thrax; It's your choice.
Miracle: *thinks quietly, then came to a decision* I'll stay here, bt not in here. I dont want to cramp up the plc with everyone. I'll sell everything I own in the condo n move into a new home somewhere nearby. Best of both worlds
Alexis; Sounds good.
Miracle: *whispers near Alexis' ear* 'Sides, we can have a love nest all to ourselves
Ozzie: *raised a brow wen he saw his son whispering naughtily at Alexis*
Alexis; 8smirked8
Hecro: *to Thrax* Looks like another birthday added to ur list there, Thrax
Thrx; 8took out the notebook8
Ozzie: Wht r u doing, love?
Thrax; Just birthday reminders, got nearly everyone in the family.
Ozzie: Tht's nice. If I remember correctly, the day I got split was roughly ard the 4th of July, which probably the time he scored with his ex-gf
Hecro: Tht's abt 6 mths frm now
Thrax; 8took down the date8
*the dinner soon ended n they all cleaned up n relaxed in the living room*
8the twins were wrestling with Griffin8
Sakura; 8was playing her violin while Rory played the piano8
Sapphire: *allowing Kiaran n Ozzex to do rodeo on her*
Hope: *crawling to her mommy, wanting to be held*
Ozzie: *picks her up* So how exactly did u end up here, Miracle?
Miracle: Well... *told him everything*
Thrax; 8brought in some tea8
*everyone took a cup to drink*
Thrax; 8took a seat next to ozzy8
Miracle: *finishes his tale* ...and tht's the gist of it
Ozzie: Wow. I didnt knw u led such a...dramatic life
Alexis; Some people can surprise you.
Miracle: Bt I'll have Zack to thank for sneezing me in here, or we would've nvr met
Thrax; 8smiles8
Miracle: U...dont think me any less, do u, Dad? For my profession?
Ozzie: No, baby. Of course not. U had no choice. This is a young city. They havent gotten past the racist barrier yet. Give 'em time
Antonio; We'll see.
*Kiaran & Ozzex rode rodeo on Sapphire for a while before bumping onto a pair of feet*
Ozzex: *looks up* Uncle Julius~! *reaches up for a hug*
Kiaran: Uncle Ju-Ju~!
Julius; 8gently picked them up then on shakey legs joined the others8
Dieter: *lit up at the sight of him* Julius mein bruder!
Takashi: A-ra? Konbanwa, Julius oni-sama~!
Antonio; Olla bro.
Alexis; Hey bro.
Julius; 8smiled at his family as he took a seat next to Thrax8
Hecro: Guess who just come clean with us n has a new name, Jules
Miracle: *grinned as he shrugged shyly*
Julius; Oh/ What is it/
Miracle: *told him the name*
Julius; It suits you.
Miracle: *blushes* Thanks
Julius; 8gave a soft smile8
Ozzie: How r u feeling there, Jules?
Julius; Still a little weak in the knees.
Ozzie: Just a few more weeks of proper eating will do u good. Which reminds me, anyone else wants to help me work on the trailer restaurant? We do need the extra help we can get
Miracle: I'm definitely taking the offer, since I'm jobless
Antonio; I go to to, I need the work.
Alexis; I'm in.
Takashi: Sa, I'm not. I dont mind babysitting
Ricardo: I'm cool staying with the kids
Dieter: I'm vith u, Ricardo *thought secretly in his heart, he actually wants to stay so tht he could be there wen Julius needs him*
Ozzie: Cool. Then tht settles it. Miracle, Antonio & Alexis r officially Frank's Diner's crew *smiles* I gotta go call Leah to tell her abt this *went to the phone*
Thrax; 8snarled at Dieter as did Sakura and Rory8
Dieter: *gave Thrax a "Shut It" look*
Julius; 8groaned and rubbed his forehead8
Alexis; 8put Dieter in a headlock8 You're coming with us.
Dieter: Nein, nein, nein! *grumbled as he struggled frm him*
Alexis; 8held him8
Takashi: Ur cooped up too long! U need the fresh air, so u must go! Wakaru yo?
Dieter: *glared at Takashi*
Miracle: Are they like this all the time?
Thrax; They've done worse.
Dieter: Nein! I'm not going, n zat is final!
Alexis; You ass.
Ricardo: *whispers to Julius* Psst! Only u can talk some sense into him
Julius; Me/ No matter how hard I try he never listens.
Ricardo: At least convince him to work with Oz
Julius; 8sighs8 Dieter/
Dieter: *looks up at him, smiling brightly with a pink tint on his cheeks* Y-Yes, Julius mein bruder?
Julius; Dieter I think you should work at the diner.
Dieter: *his face sank in shock* B...But...But wht abt the children...? I...I can babysit zem. Takashi mein bruder can use ze extra help, and...and who's gonna take care of jou...? *being a total rambling fool, unlike his calm n collected self*
Alexis; 8tightened his hold8
Dieter: *almost choked* Oi! Let go of me, Alexis!
Ricardo: *gave Julius a "Keep trying" look*
Julius; Taka and I can handel things and I'm recovering fast.
Dieter: J...Jou sure...?
Julius; 8nods8
Dieter: Umm...Vell...I...I guess...I guess if jour OK vith zis...
Julius; I am.
Dieter: *looks dwn sadly in defeat* OK...I'll go...BUT! *looks up suddenly at Julius* If anyzing, ANYZING at all, jou vill call me, right?
Julius; I will Di.
Thrax; 8rolled his eyes, Dieter had lost it over the years8
Dieter: *smiled a little in satisfaction knwing tht Julius still needed him*

Ozzie: *sipped his drink wen he was surprised to see The Mole at the counter table sipping orange juice* Woah! Hey, I remember u. U a jinn or something, popping out everywhere?
Mole: *chuckles* It's a Hector-given gift. Long time no see, Pretty Baby
Thrax; 8shot up when he smelt someone who shouldn't be here8
Ozzie: Watcha doing here? Want some more of tht juice?
Mole: Yes, pls *waited until Oz poured it for him before continuing* I'm here to make u a one-time offer
Thrax; 8kept hidden8
Ozzie: Wht kind of offer? *raised a brow*
Mole: *his gaze shifted sideways, as if knwing Thrax was there, bt pretends not to notice him* Oh something u cannot resist. Something u desperately need
Thrax; 8growled8
Ozzie: Wht do u knw abt wht I need?
Mole: Ur a bit lacking in the baby machine area, ain't ya, Pretty Baby?
Ozzie: *hesitated then frowned* Wht's it to u?
Thrax; 8cocked an ear8
Mole: I can help u on tht, bt it's only a one-shot deal, a one last chance for u to give ur husband another heir
Ozzie: Y...You can do tht...?
Mole: I knw a guy. I can ask him to whip up something. The thing is...are u in?
Thrax; 8thought8 What's he looking in return/
Ozzie: I...I dunno...I need to discuss this with Thrax...
Mole: It is YOUR choice to make, Pretty Baby, not the virus. YOU are going to carry his child, not him. YOU are going to bear the burden of pregnancy n knw tht this is a one time deal, a final chance to produce an heir before ur body totally fails u. YOU have to decide, not him
Ozzie: *hesitates a little, not sure abt this*
Thrax; 8growled8
Mole: *finishes his orange juice n hands him a beeper* Here. Take this. Wen ur ready, gimme a beep, n I'll bring it ovr for u. Dont say I didnt give u time to think, Pretty Baby *disappears as mysteriously as he came*
Ozzie: *looks at the beeper, still unsure, though the offer was vry tempting*
Thrax; 8steps out8 He's up to something.
Ozzie: *shocked* Y...You heard us?
Thrax; 8nods8
Ozzie: *looks at the beeper* I...I dunno. It's reli a once in a lifetime opportunity bt...
Thrax; I'll support you no matter what you decide.
Ozzie: *clenches the beeper n sighed before going upstairs without a word*
Thrax; 8fallowed8
Ozzie: *lay in bed, staring at the beeper until he fell asleep*
Thrax; 8came in and held his mate as he soon drifted back to sleep8
