TOYLB: Long & Dark Times-Season 3-1

Episode 1

*for the nxt few weeks, while remaining below the radar n not alerting the locals of Christine-topia, the gang went frm house to house to those who were rescued frm Hector to ask them if they r willing to transfer, bt sadly, they were starting to enjoy life in Christine in their new home n was willing to take the risk of low profile, especially the gay couples*

Alexis; 8clawed at the ground8

Miracle: I guess the last person we can ask would be Westen

Alexis; 8nods8

Miracle: *went to Westen's office, altho he's still a bit shaky frm his lack of strength plus nursing*

Alexis; 8fallows him8

Miracle: *knocked at the door*

Westen: Enter *sees them come in* Oh hey, good afternoon. How're u all doing? I hope the malt energy drink I asked Jesse to issue to u to drink has been helpful

Miracle: Yeah, it helps more or less

Alexis; 8came in8

Westen: Wht can I do u for?

Miracle: Well, u see... *explains to him the situation*

Alexis; 8folded his arms8

Westen: Oh, n ur asking if we want to come with u...?

Miracle: Tht is if u want to of course. I knw u've been here almost all ur life, n evn hv a son, bt if u wanna come...

Westen: I probably need my wife here n my son to hear this as well *intercommed for his wife Charles n his son Jesse to come ovr*

8both cells came in8

Westen: My dear family, these nice ppl asked us whether we would like to transfer to another city with them *explained the details*

8they both listened8

Westen: So wht do u think? Do u want to move?

8mother and son looked at each other8

Charles: Wht do u think, son? Do u want to leave this plc?

Jesse; Truth be told Pop I've wanted to get out of here for years

Charles: Yes, same here. I cannot stand hiding in disguises n pretending to be someone I'm not. I want to be myself out in the open without having to hide my sexuality

Westen: So does tht mean u agree to go?

8they both nodded8

Westen: Alright. Then its settled. We will go with u. Any others going as well?

Miracle: Well, aside frm my big family, there's only u. The rest of the refugees seemed to warm up to this plc n dont want to leave

Alexis; 8rolled his eyes8

Westen: Ah well, I suppose we cannot force them then. I'm in *held out his hand to shake*

Miracle: Great. *shook it* We'll be looking forward to our journey ahead

Alexis; 8nods8

Westen: *smiles* Likewise

Miracle: *took his leave*

Alexis; 8fallowed8

Hecro: *was at the Mole's plc, asking permission for the tank*

Maximus; 8watched from the door8

Mole: Oh? U want my tank. Sure. Take it. Its all urs. I hv no need for it anymore

Hecro: Bt Mole, dont u want to come with us? We plan to transfer. Some of us, our body mechanism, is not compatible with this city n getting sick. We worry for u

Maximus; 8cocked an ear8

Mole: Nah, I dont wanna go

Hecro: Wht? Why?

Mole: I like it here, n in case u havent noticed, I'm not like everyone else. I can adapt anywhere. Besides, wen I was in town, they recognized me as a citizen of Hector n was all ovr me. I've nvr gotten such attention n admiration in my life, n I'm done being lonely. I want to stay here where I'm appreciated

Maximus; 8cringed8

Hecro: U sure abt this?

Mole: Positive

Hecro: Alright then, well, good luck in ur life here. We'll come n take the tank wen we need it

Mole: Be my guest

Maximus; 8lead his mate out8

Hecro: Well, I guess tht's settled then. So, tell me, baby, wht city were u heading?

Maximus; 8smirks8 You'll see

Hecro: *grins* Arent u so full of surprises?

Maximus; 8nuzzled him8

Episode 11

*soon nightfall came, n everyone were gathered for the family meeting in the hospice*

Leah; 8rubbed her hands nervously8

Miracle: So, wht's this all abt?

Drix: This is wht's all abt *brought Oz in*

Antonio; Ozzy?

Miracle: D...Daddy?? *ran up to him n hugged him*

Ozzie: *didnt respond*

Leah; 8bit her lip8

Hecro: Wht's going on? Wht happened to him?

Ozzie: *sees Thrax n registered in his database tht he was his husband n recalled his directive, then made his way towards Thrax n stroke his hair*

Thrax; 8looked at him8

Ozzie: Is ur bodily functions fully recuperated, my mate?

Takashi: Na...Nani...? *didnt get the language jargon Oz was spouting*

Thrax; 8drew back8

Drix: Tht's wht's wrong with Oz *took a deep breath* Listen carefully... *told everyone everything tht he had told the kids abt Oz*

Thrax; 8went paler8

*everyone was shocked to hear this*

Drix: Yeah, tht's the gist of it. So, he's behaving like a mother n a wife bt its because its his directive, not bcoz of his real feelings or thoughts

Dieter: M...Meaning to zay zat he iz now a robot?

Drix: Well...more like a person with a robot brain

Thrax; 8was now looking worse8

Morty: *felt reli bad for them* Oh my...

Leah; 8glared at Drix8

Drix: *gave her a "What?" look before saying* We'll try our best to deactivate the machine, bt for now, its the best we can do

Antonio; You call this the best?

Drix: Well, unless u want us to bloody hell yank the damn thing out n cause Oz a paralysis, be my guest. I'm doing this because the children need their mother!

Alexis; 8growled8 How can he be a mate and mother like this

Drix: At least he would be ard to take care of their needs instead of being missing! Did u knw how badly Paul cried, wanting his mother wen he couldn't find Oz?!

Alexis; 8hissed8

Miracle: Alex is right. Sure, he may be able to tend to their physical needs, bt wht abt their emotional needs. They want a mother, not a robot! I knw its Daddy, bt its just not our Daddy, he's a machine!

Drix: Dont u get it? I've told u there's nothing I can do at the moment! These things take time, n its not some sort of machinery u can just simply tamper with! U think I'm some sort of miracle worker to fix everything?! I would...

*suddenly Oz came btwn them, blocking Drix frm advancing towards Miracle*

Alexis; 8growled8

Drix: Stand dwn, citizen! Step away frm the subject

Ozzie: *shook his head* Command overruled

Drix: Wht? Stand dwn! This is none of ur concern!

Ozzie: *shook his head* Command overruled. Cannot obey. U r causing verbal harm to my offspring. I cannot allow tht to override my directive

Dieter: *surprised* I thought u said he was programmed with the identities of everyone except Miracle

Drix: I did, bt... *was surprised as well*

Leah; 8tilted her head8

Ozzie: *evn tho his facial expression was blank, tears started to fall dwn his cheeks as he continued to block Drix frm Miracle*

Antonio; Ok, this is weird

Hope: Is Mama! Is Mama! He's still in there! Mama! *went to him n hugged him*

Sakura; 8held her back8

Hope: *pushed her away n went to hug Ozzie*

Ozzie: *looked dwn at her hugging him n bent dwn to carry her close. He didnt hug bk, bt at least he was carrying her close n gently like a mother would*

Hope: Mama~! *giggled as she kept hugging him, believing underneath tht cold face was her real mother*

Rory; 8exchanged looks with Sakura8

Drix: *sighed* See? Evn Hope knws tht her real mother is in there somewhere. Hv faith. We'll try to get him outta there, bt in the meantime, u'll hv to bear with this

8everyone exchanged looks8

Takashi: *sighed n shrugged* Moh~! Shikatanaiwa ne (it cant be helped, i guess)

Leah; 8looked at Thrax8

Dieter: *looked too*

Thrax; 8was looking worse8

Ozzie: *saw Thrax tht way n somehow, whether it was due to the real Oz in there or due to his directive, he went to him n hugged him close*

Alexis; 8bit his tongue8

Hecro: *turned to Maximus* Since we're here, n we've finally found Oz, u might as well tell them ur plan, Chris

Ricardo: *raised a brow* Wht plan?

Maximus; Transfer

Takashi: Nani?? Transfer? Doushite? (why)

Alexis; Ya know we have troubles here

Morty; *rolled his eyes* Tell me abt it, especially wen they're being hypocrites, discriminating gay couples bt OK with lesbian couples

Leah; 8rolled her eyes8

Hecro: Tht's not the only reason we want to transfer

Antonio; And that's-?

Hecro: *turned to Maximus for answers*

Maximus; It's also to do with your health

Miracle: Well, yeah, to be honest, my strength hasnt reli improved

Takashi: N I dunno why, bt I occasionally feel a little... "girly"

Maximus; And if ya count Leah and a few of the girls are becoming ill themselves

Dieter: Zat iz a beet of a problem...

Antonio; 8shivered8

Hecro: Well, since we've found Oz, or part of him, how r we going to go abt with the transfer?

Alexis; Does the Mole still 'ave the transport?

Drix: I believe he does in his backyard

Antonio; We should use that

Ricardo: We might wanna ask if there's anyone tht we saved frm Hector who wants to come along

Antonio; 8nods8

Morty: Bt dont u need to find a city first?

Maximus; I'll take care of that

Drix: Right, so we better go round up those ppl n ask if they would like to come with us

Miracle: We can ask tht Westen fellow as well, since he's been so nice to us

Maximus; And his family

Ozzie: *didnt reli listened to their plan, since his main directive was to look aftr his children n his husband, bt he didnt seem to be objecting towards the plan*

Julius; 8sat up slightly8

Morty: * helped him*

Alexis; Will this work/

Hecro: I suppose so. We're gonna hv to try to find out

8they all nodded8

Episode 10

Spryman: *was helping the kids to make lunch, n was kinda messing up a little*

Leah; 8knocked on the door8

Kiaran: *answered the door n the first thing he saw was Oz beside her* MAMA~!!! *jumps onto him*

Ozzex: Mama?! Mama's here?! *ran up to the door* MAMA!!!

Spryman: Momma~?! MOMMA~!!! *ran up to Oz as well n gave a group hug*

Ozzie: *allowed them to hug, bt didnt return it*

8Sakura and Rory narrowed their eyes8

Twins: *noticed the difference as well* Wh...Wht's wrong with Mama?

Leah; 8bit her lip8

Drix: Kids. U might wanna sit dwn for this

8the kids took a seat8

Drix: *sat Oz dwn as well n then explained everything to the kids*

Leah; 8gripped her hands8

Spryman: So...So u mean Momma is...is permanently like a robot zombie now?

Drix: Not permanent. Its only until we find a way to remove the patch

Ozzex: Why cant we just yank it out?

Leah; Vat's too dangerous

Drix: Yeah, the wirings r vry tender n deeply embedded into his nervous system, just like the machinery of the artificial womb he used to hv frm the fake Mole. U might not knw whether u might end up pulling a nerve n make him paralyzed for life

Leah; Or vorse

Drix: The Mole n I will continue to try n deactivate this thing, so in the meantime, since u still need ur mother's care, u will hv to bear with him being like this

8the kids looked at each other8

Ozzie: *sees the messed up lunch* Do u require edible sustenance, children?

Ozzex: Edi-what?

Ozzie: *stood up n made his way to the kitchen to clean up Spryman's mess n made lunch*

Leah; He vill continue his duties as a mother but in a more robotic vay

Spryman: Momma... *his heart ache at the thought of seeing his mother like this*

Hope: Wat would Papa tink?

Leah; I shutter to think

Drix: Is he awake yet?

Leah; 8looked at the kids8

Spryman: *sighed* He woke up just a little bit to go to the bathroom n Jesse gave him something to eat, bt he's bk to sleep again

Leah; And Julius?

Kiaran: Morty is still looking aftr him, n he also did wake up for a drink, bt tht's it

Leah; 8bit her lip8

Ozzex: Jesse said since he woken up n be able to eat, he should come home to rest

Drix: Then we shall add another directive to Oz *approaches him* Osmosis, added directive: Husband: Thrax Roja. Objective: To love and serve

Ozzie: *took a few seconds to digest the data in* Duly noted. Additional directive confirmed *returned to making lunch*

Sakura; 8did not look pleased8

Drix: I knw its not the best, bt at least u knw he's safe here n not bk at Hector

Sakura; 8didn't change her look8

Drix: So wen can Thrax come home?

Twins: Jesse said he can come home tomorrow

Rory; Though when he see's mother he may relapse

Drix: Lets hope it will not come to tht. We'll hv to prepare him. Lets all meet up at the hospice for a family meeting n tell this to everyone, including Thrax

Leah; 8nods8

*the kids nodded in agreement as well*

Leah; 8looked at her mate8

Drix: I'll make the call to everyone *keyed into the two-way communicator* Yo, guys. Everyone. Can u hear me?

Takashi: A-ra? Hai, hai, moshi moshi?

Dieter: Ja, ve hear jou

*Miracle, Ricardo and Hecro responded to their two-way communicators as well*

Antonio; 8responded as well8

Morty: *responded to Julius' two-way communicator*

Drix: Family meeting tonight, everyone, at the hospice. All of us. Got something to discuss with u guys

Morty: Got it. I'll be waiting here with Jules n Thrax

Takashi: Hai, hai. Wakata

Dieter: Ja, see jou then

Antonio; Si Drix

*everyone else replied as well in agreement*

Drix: Well, tht's settled. We're gonna hv to bring Oz along as well to show them wht we're talking abt

Leah; 8nods8

TOYLB: Long & Dark Times-Season 2-9

Episode 9

*meanwhile, Drix was still with the Mole trying to fix Oz*

Leah; 8watched them from the door8

*the duo had a few close calls wen his eyes actually returned to the old Oz n his expressions as well bt it only lasted for a few minutes before he was bk to being a robot*

Leah; 8bit her lip8

Drix: Oi vey, this is reli tough

Leah; 8nods8

Mole: Tell me abt it *scratches his head*

Oz: *remains stoic n expressionless*

Leah; 8clentched her hands8

Drix: We cannot let him go on like this. The kids need him. Thrax needs him

Leah; But Vat can we do?

Mole: Maybe I can reprogram the AI to be a caring mother or something, bt as for the actual Oz himself, I dont think I can reprogram it. The only way is to break the AI to set him free, n this delicate machinery cannot just be tampered with

Leah; 8bit her tongue8

Drix: So shall we reprogram him? At least let him be there to take care of the children's needs?

Leah; Until we can remove that thing

Drix: Alright, Mole, shall we?

Mole: *nods* Right. *turns to Oz* At ease, soldier. Go offline

Oz: *does so, close his eyes*

Leah; 8held her breath8

*the duo started reconnecting lines onto the patch behind Oz's bk of the neck, then the Mole clicked away buttons to start the reprogramming, while Drix handed him the required software needed to rewire Oz*

Leah; 8bit her lip8

Mole: *clicked a few more buttons before uploading the info into Oz's system*

Leah; 8prayed that this would work8

Drix: *kept his fingers crossed too*

Ozzie: *as soon as the data uploaded, he opened his eyes*

Mole: State ur name, citizen

Ozzie: Osmosis Jones, mother of 8

Mole: State their names

Ozzie: Paul, Sakura, Kiaran, Ozzex, Jamie, Junko, Rory and Hope

Mole: Wht is ur objective?

Ozzie: Protect n nurture

Leah; 8sweatdrops8

Mole: Alright. This is the best I can do for now. *sighs* Its time to break it to the kids. *handed Oz to Drix* U can take him home, for now. Bt I'll drop by frm time to time n try my luck again

Leah; 8nods8

Mole: Ur gonna hv to warn the kids tht their Mommy is going to talk funny. The kids can conversate with him normally n he can interpret the command, bt his response will be robotic as usual, as his facial expression

Leah; Right

Mole: Go now. Ur directives is the children, Osmosis.

Ozzie: *nods n followed Drix n Leah*

Leah; 8swallows8

TOYLB: Long & Dark Times-Season 2-8

Episode 8

Hecro: *bid goodbye to Leah, n entered to see Isabella chatting happily (one-sided tho) to Maximus* Um...Hey? Did I miss something?

Isabella: Hey! Hecro! Welcome home~! I was hving a chat with the Chief

Maximus; 8gave him a 'like I had a choice' look8

Hecro: Oh, OK. Well, can I knw abt it?

Isabella: Well, wen the Chief was gone, our Mayor Ashley Constance Santarini was mortified as to who should be the nxt Chief of Police wen he's gone. I was temporarily promoted, of course, bt now he's bk, the Mayor decides to give Chief his old job bk. Whaddaya think, Chief?

Maximus; 8paled then narrowed his eyes8

Isabella: C'mon, I'm not entirely cut out for Chief of Police anywho. Chief Isabella Celia Tyson just doesnt ring much of a bell for me. I prefer the actual hard work rather than the desk job. So wht say u, Chief?

Hecro: *smiled politely* Yes, why dont u, Chris. It would be much better working in a familiar environment *inwardly his heart was seething bcoz Isabella was talking to him so friendly*

Maximus; 8got up, grabbed Tyson by the collar and threw her out the door8

Isabella: Hey! Wht's going on? Chief, wht's wrong?!

Hecro: *surprised at his reaction*

Maximus; 8slammed the door and bolted it8

Hecro: C...Chris...? Wht was tht abt...?

Maximus; The minute we find ozzy we're all leaving

Hecro: Bt...Chris, this is ur home. We're all gonna be stuck here indefinitely. Why r u doing this? Ur gonna blow our cover

Maximus; I never wanted to return here Hecro and in case you haven't notice this atmosphere is making some of the others sick

Hecro: W...Well, I did notice Leah being sick. Bt...Bt...I...I'd hate to make another move again, we just moved out of Hector

Maximus; 8gripped his fist8

Hecro: *looked dwn* I...I'm sorry...I knw ur pissed with me, bt...its not exactly I wanna come here too. I didnt pick this either... *held bk his tears, not wanting to look weak*

Shane: *could sense along with her brother tht their parents r starting to argue*

Maximus; I'm going to start looking for another city

Hecro: Wht do u hv in mind?

Maximus; Thrax gave me a few tips

Hecro: OK. Bt only those who r close to the Mayor can hv tht sort of access...n the Chief of Police gets tht clearance. Meaning u hv to accept the job

Maximus; 8growled8

Hecro: *frowns* Dont be tht way. U dont hv to listen to my advice. Its not tht I'm ur wife or anything *picks the kids up n went off to the nursery*

Maximus; 8spun round8

Hecro: *went off to the nursery n tucked the kids in for their nap*

8they looked up at him8

Hecro: *smiled dwn at them n lulled them to sleep*

Alakey; 8grabbed his finger8

Hecro: *stroke his hair, humming to them some more*

8they both soon drifted off8

Hecro: *smiled n tucked them in properly before leaving the room*

Maximus; 8stared out the window8

Hecro: *sees him staring n decided not to bother him, went off to the kitchen to make lunch*

Maximus; 8clasped his hands together, thinking8

Hecro: *made mac n cheese for lunch, all the while keeping quiet*

Maximus; 8paid him no heed8

Hecro: *finished making lunch n served it* Lunch's ready

Maximus; 8came in8

Hecro: *waited for him to sit dwn n eat before eating*

*the TV was on, n it was announcing happily on the return of Maximus in the news, with his old picture on the left side of the screen n a footage of him returning, coming out of the tank at the right side*

Maximus; 8shuttered8

Hecro: *realized something* U look...different in ur old picture

Maximus; 8looked at the screen8

*his old picture was so much more feminine n he had a darker complexion, n his eyes were way more feminine than he was now*

Maximus; Guess transferring to Hector changed me a bit

Hecro: Tht's interesting. I guess I can agree. U look more manly now

Maximus; 8nods8

Hecro: *looked dwn n sighed* Still no sign of Oz

Maximus; We'll find him

Hecro: *nods* I...I'm sorry...

Maximus; For what?

Hecro: Just now. Abt saying tht I'm not ur wife or anything. I...I didnt mean it...I just...

Maximus; I know my love

Hecro: I just feel...so insecure...seeing u surrounded n admired by so many women...n I cant do anything to stop them coz I hv to protect u frm... *bit his lip n hung his head, trying to hold bk his tears*

Maximus; 8got up and wrapped his arms round him8

Hecro: I met them wen I was in town...Tht cop n her girls...They were talking abt how they want u to court them n take them as ur wife...N I...I...couldnt... *finally couldnt stand it n outright sobbed*

Maximus; 8held him close8 Don't listen to them

Hecro: I knw...I knw...Bt still...it hurts...hearing them talking like this in front of me *buried his face in Maximus' chest*

Maximus; 8stroked his hair8

Hecro: *sobs in his arms*

Maximus; 8held him close8

Leah; 8shook her head8

Drix: Good. Last thing we need is the entire THrax family going hysterical ovr a robot mother

Leah; 8nods8

Drix: I'm going ovr to the Mole's plc to see if we can fix Oz again. U OK with being alone?

Leah; I can take of uz 8nuzzles their daughter8

Shane: Monin', An Liya~!

Leah; And good morning to jou to

Hecro: Shall we?

Leah; 8nods8

Hecro: *walked wtih her*

Leah; 8looked round8

*the town was, as expected, dominated by women, n the men were quite little, almost the ratio of 1:50. The atmosphere had a pinkish hue, unlike the dark red all male cities hv, n most of the males there were feminine-looking like Maximus, some evn so feminine u cant tell the difference, n some evn dressed in drag. The men who actually look like men were jsut...too few*

Sakura; 8choked and covered her nose8

Hecro: Ugh, citrus again

Leah; 8coughed8

Hecro: *gave her the cream* Here, the Mole gave us all one

Leah; 8dabbed some under her nose8

Hecro: *dabbed some under his nose as well, n helped the kids do so*

Shane: *didnt like the cream on her nose, n so didnt Alakay*

Leah; I know kids but it's better than that sickening sweet smell

Sally: *wants to rub the cream off her nose*

Leah; 8caught her hand8 No sveetie

Sally: *whined*

Leah; 8stroked her hair8

Hecro: Christine should reli cut dwn on the orange juice tho

Leah; No joke

Hecro: I mean, its fine if they want Christine to be healthy with Vitamin C intake, bt this is a bit much

Leah; C'mon 8they walked on8

*the little family passed by the areas, window shopping n find tht a lot of things there r femme-related, n vry little for men to choose frm, n evn tho there were men items they were too designer n fashionable for a decent man to wear*

Leah; This is pathetic

Hecro: Tell me abt it. I wonder how did the men here actually survived

Leah; 8shrugged8

Shane: *pointed at the horizon* Pink!

Hecro: Yes, sweetheart. Its pink

Leah; 8felt her lips pucker8

Isabella: *sees them frm afar* Oh hey! The newbies frm Hector! *waves at them*

Leah; Oh, good morning

Hecro: Mornin'

Isabella: Pls, u must hv breakfast with us

Hecro: Us?

Isabella: Yeah, me n the girls frm the PD r having breakfast nearby. Wanna come?

Leah; No thank you, we've already ate

Isabella: Aww, reli? We reli wanna hv a chat with u n all

Hecro: *whispered* Humor her *turns to her* Yeah sure. We'll settle for a drink tho

Isabella: Its settled then. Come along~!

Leah; 8glared at Hecro8

Hecro: *gave her a "Be patient n play along" look before following aftr Isabella*

Leah; 8fallowed8

Isabella: *led them to a sort of English setting cafe, one of many femme's perks n met up with the rest of PD*

Girl 1: Hey, Tyson, ovr here~! Oh wow, are those the newbies frm Hector?

Isabella: They sure are

Leah; 8was trying not to twitch8

Hecro: *smiled politely n joined the table*

Shane: *looked at the food they were eating*

Leah; 8stroked her cheek8

Isabella: Want anything to drink

Hecro: Coffee. Black, no sugar

Leah; Just vater vor me

Isabella: *made their order*

Leah; 8held Sally close8

Isabella: So how do u like Christine-topia so far?

Hecro: I havent toured everywhere yet, bt...I think its pretty cool. Hard to believe tht this is where Chris come frm

Isabella: Chris?

Hecro: Sorry, I mean ur Chief Maximus

Leah; 8rolled her eyes8

Isabella; How did u managed to meet?

Hecro: *chuckles* Its a long story, reli

Leah; 8crossed her legs8

*all the PD girls perked their ears*

Hecro: *made up a tall tale abt how he lost his wife to a cancer cell n the children were to left for him to be cared, n tht he had nowhere to go bcoz everyone saw him as a freak bcoz of how he looked due to an injury sustained frm saving his "wife", n then meeting with Maximus n him letting him stay with him. The only truth he probably told was his origins was frm Frank before he came to Hector, the rest was just a stretch of the truth*

Shane: *knew instinctively tht her mother was not telling the truth, bt couldnt say anything*

Isabella: I knew it. Chief Maximus is always the nice, kind-hearted one. Tht's why he was our most trusted chief in the force

*all the girls sighed dreamily at the thought of Maximus*

Leah; 8rolled her eyes8

Hecro: Yeah, I owe him a lot *wanted to say tht he loved him so much, bt couldnt, n his heart ached at the thought of it*

Isabella: Ah~! I'd give anything to hv him court me n be his wife~!

*all the girls squealed protests at Tyson, themselves wanting to be the one to be courted*

Leah; 8groaned in pain8

Hecro: *his heart ached evn worse at the sight, evn tho his face was smiling n laughing at their antics*

Leah; 8patted his shoulder8

Hecro: *stood up* I think I better go now. I need to chk out my other friends

Isabella: Aww, so soon? Well, say hi to Maximus for us~!

Hecro: Will do *left the cafe with the kids*

Leah; Hey 8ran after him8

Hecro: *went until he was far away enough before he let out a loud shout of frustration n slammed his fist against the wall*

*Shane & Alakay cried at their mother's outburst*

Leah; Easy now

Hecro: Who the fuck do they think they are?! I'm his wife!! Me!! How dare they say this abt my husband, in front of me!! The wife!!

Leah: Fiancee jou mean and don't listen to them

Hecro: *bit his lip n sighed* We're not evn engaged...He nvr asked for my hand...I hv a feeling he wont want me now he's bk in his hometown

Leah; Do jou honestly think he vanted to return here

Hecro: No, bt...wht if...wht if he cannot resist the temptation of the women? Wht if he falls for one of them? He nvr evn asked me to marry him! Wht makes u think he'll stay on with me?!

Leah; Hecro will just listen, he loves you with all his heart, you both have a loving family with two beautiful children

Hecro: Then...Then why has he nvr proposed to me?! *tries to hold bk his tears*
