*the nxt day, the explosion made it to the news, n the breeder/seeder scandal went public as the victims told wht happened, bt no one revealed how the explosion reli happened or who did it, covering for Thrax n the gang*

Sakura; 8shut off the news, having her father's smirk on her face8

Ozzie: *sighed as he finished reading the papers tht covered the story as well* At least now they decided to conclude the case as an internal turmoil btwn members n enabled the victims' rescue

Thrax; Just hope that's the last of em

Ozzie: I hope so too. Coffee, love?

Thrax; Yes please

Ozzie: *poured some coffee, making it just the way Thrax loved it n gave it to him*

Thrax; Thanks baby

Ozzie: You're welcome *smiled n kissed him*

Thrax; 8kissed him back8

Ozzie: Kids, want some breakfast?

Kiaran: Is Paul coming to school with us?

Thrax; No Kai, he's still rather shaken

Ozzex: OK. We'll just hv cereal

Sakura; I'll just take an apple

Hope: *followed*

Twins: *reached for the cereal*

Thrax; 8cleared away the dishes8

Ozzie: Alright, kids. Here ya go. Ur lunches. Time to go to school now, ur bus is almost here

8the kids grabbed their lunches and headed out8

Ozzie: *sighed in relief* Time to tend to our youngest

Thrax; 8nods8

Ozzie: *went off to tend to Jared* Havent u considered taking a job as well, love? Since ur in a new city n all

Thrax; Like what?

Ozzie: *shrugs* I dunno. Maybe u wanna help out in either of the stores? Frank's Diner? Dieter's store Das Buch? Or Takashi's store Pins & Needles?

Thrax; 8bit his lip8

Ozzie: Or do u hv something in mind already?

Thrax; Not really, it's hard when ya lived a life like mine

Ozzie: *looked at him sadly*

Thrax; 8sighs8

Jared; 8looked between his folks8

Ozzie: * caresses his cheek* Baby? Baby, look at me

Thrax; 8looked up8

Ozzie: Ur old life is gone now. U hv me, u hv ur children n u hv ur bros n ur friends. The old life is ovr now. This is ur life. Pls. Be confident of urself, Thrax. U didnt get till this far with me n hv almost a dozen children with me just to lose ur strength n confidence

Thrax; 8smiled a little8

Ozzie: *smiled bk n leaned up to kiss him deeply*

Thrax; 8kissed him back8

Jared: *giggled frm his halfway diaper change at them, then suddenly squirted piss*

Ozzie: Ack! U little prankster *laughed as he tapped Jared's butt before continuing to change his diapers*

Thrax; 8stroked Jared's cheek8

Jared: *giggled n gripped his claw, his little wings fluttering*

Ozzie: Hmm, looks like his emotions r also displayed thru his wing movements

Thrax; It'll pass as he gets older

Ozzie: I'm worried, Thrax. Our baby...may look like us bt he shows features of cells frm this city. I'm afraid tht ppl's tongues might wag, tht they say Jared is born frm an affair or something...

Thrax; They won't baby

Ozzie: *finishes the diaper change n buttoned up Jared's jumpsuit* I hope so *carried Jared* I dont mind them saying things abt me, bt I dont want them hurting our children

Thrax; 8nuzzles him8

Ozzie: Hold onto Jared, I'm gonna chk on Paul *passed Jared to Thrax*

Thrax; 8took their youngest8

Ozzie: *went to Spryman's room to chk on him n saw tht he was sitting at the head of the bed hugging his legs* Paul? Paul, u OK?

Thrax; 8cocked an ear8

Spryman: I...I had a nightmare...

Ozzie: Aww, its OK, Momma's here. C'mere *held his arms out to him*

Spryman: *hugged him n sobbed*

Thrax; 8bit his lip8

Ozzie: Shh, shh, shh...Its OK now, baby. Ur safe now, with us. Shh...

Spryman: *sobs hard, hugging him tight*

Thrax; 8looked at Jared8
