Antonio; You know I'll protect you

Ricardo: *sniffles* I...I met him a few days aftr I got out of prison n got kicked out frm my family. Hector was giving smoking a try at tht time n he somehow got in. Thankfully Hector didnt get addicted to smoking, bt he stayed somehow...N being tht I got no one, he took me in n I hung out with him...evn tho I knew who n wat he is...I just wanted to belong in a family so bad...

*Miracle, aftr getting the text frm Leah to babysit the kids, decided to bring Olivia along to work while the other kids were at school. N aftr a short radio interview session, he brought Olivia to The Biotics' home while they discuss on their upcoming charity stage performance*

Olivia: *walked abt exploring The Biotics' home*

8it was rather standard size for the group8

Olivia: *somehow walked past Klepta's room n noticed Edison in there, reading a book* Umm...Hello?

Edison: *looked up, recognized her n nodded*

Olivia: *sees his baby bump* Almost due?

Edison: *nods*

Rouge; 8brought Edison a snack8

Olivia: *leaned against Edison's belly to listen to the baby n giggled*

Edison: *looked up at the snack n nodded in thanks*

Olivia: U look...kinda familiar... *studied Edison's face* Where hv I seen u before?

Rouge; 8slightly gulped8

*Edison was wearing a hoodie at the moment, so Olivia tentatively reached up to pulled the hoodie dwn ovr Edison's face, then gasped*

Olivia: Its u! Ur the one who knocked me out n stopped me frm killing the ppl during the concert!

Rouge; 8winced8

Edison: *removed the hoodie n smiled awkwardly*

Olivia: Why? How did u knw...?

Edison: *reached for the notepad n pen nxt to his bedside table n wrote* I watch. I learn. I protect family. I protect Klepta

Rouge; 8rolled his eyes8

Olivia: *smiled n hugged Edison anyway* Thank u. Thank u for stopping me...n saving my life

Edison: *was surprised for a bit, then slowly smiled n stroke her hair*

Rouge; 8metaly sighed in relief8

Miracle: *found them* Ah, there u r. I was wondering where u've been

Klepta: *comes in* Eddie? U alright?

Miracle: So we all set for the charity concert?

Rodeo: Oh yeah, totally! Cant wait to jam!

Rouge; I hear that

Ambrose: Dont jam too hard, we're running charity for the old folks home, so dont wanna give them a heart attack

Latvina; Hope they like the music

Klepta; We've known a couple of oldies in our days of traveling bands, n I'm sure they're not tht stuck up old fogies who would reject a few new age songs. We'll do fine

Lavinia: Yup, besides, I knw a lot of the old men still love a fresh sexy young blood like Miracle

Miracle: Oh, Aunty, tht just sounds so wrong~ *laughs*

Rouge; 8smirks8

*Hecro was at home, curled up in bed, shutting off the world, refusing to eat or drink, just wants to waste away. He didnt evn bother going to work at his job as the bank security guard n didnt evn bother to call to ask for leave*

Hecra: *reli worried abt his bro; thankfully him being the housewife allows him to be there for the kids, bt he couldnt do anything to snap Hecro out of it*

Maximus; 8felt rather useless not knowing how to help8

*the phone rang n Hecra answered it*

Hecra: Hello? Yes...Oh, sorry, did my bro not call? Yeah, he needs to take leave bcoz...No, its a personal matter, a death in the fam...No, hey, no, pls, u cant do tht! Tht's not fair...Yeah, life's not fair bt u dont hv to be...Well screw u! U knw wat, he quits! *slammed the phone dwn*

Maximus; What happened/

Hecra: Its Hecro's boss. He called saying tht Hecro has no right not to ask for leave beforehand n said the bank doesnt tolerate this sort of disrespect n wants to fire him. I showed them. Fucking bastards

Maximus; 8narrowed his eyes8

Hecra: *sighed* Of all things to be inconsiderate abt, they had to do this to him

Maximus; How can some calls in this ciity be so incompanent

Hecra: *shook his head* I hv no friggin' idea. *peeks in to chk on Hecro* I knw how he feels. I still hv his memories wen we were still as one. It hit him reli hard wen he had to abort his child. Losing another child like this id a serious blow for him
Maximus; 8sighed8

Hecra: I feel so helpless *broke into tears* I dunno wat to do to make him feel better *sobs*

Maximus; 8wrapped his arms round him8

Hecra: I dont expect him to get it ovr tht quickly, bt...I just cant stand seeing him like this... *sobs in Max's arms*

Maximus; 8stroked his hair8

Hecra: *cried*

Hecro: *crying under the sheets as well*

Maximus; 8wish to know how to help them8

*the kids got up frm their nap, quietly bypassing Max n Hecra, sensing Hecro's distress n climbed up the bed n cuddled against Hecro*

Kids: *spoke simultaneously* Mama...Mama, no cry...

Maximus; 8looked in8

Hecro: *hears the children n peek out of his sheets, then sobbed at upon seeing those sad innocent faces n hugged him, crying with them in his arms*

Maximus; 8sat on the bed8

Hecro: *looks up to see Maximus n Hecra, whimpered* I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...

Maximus; It's not your fault

Hecro: I knw...bt still...

Hecra: Its alright, bro. We'll pull thru this together. I knw ur not going to get it ovr tht quickly bt...u need to be strong, for the kids

Maximus; 8nods8

Hecro: *sniffles* I'll try...

Hecra: Sorry to break it to u, bt its better if u find out sooner or later *told him abt the phone call he got*

Hecro: *huffed* Its OK, thanks for tht. I hated tht job anyway

Maximus; Least we saved up quite a bit

Hecra: Why did u take tht job anyway?

Hecro: Coz I didnt reli hv much qualifications other than being a cop in Frank. N I dont feel like going bk to the force anymore, so yeah...

Hecra: So wat r u gonna do now? I knw u, u can nvr stay still n be a stay-at-home mom like I can

Maximus; Why not further education/

Hecro: *shook his head* I dont do well with books, bt maybe...

Hecra: *looked at Hecro, seeming to knw tht look as if  he read his mind*

Maximus; 8arched a brow8

Hecro: Remember wen we used to deal with information n spying n stuff wen we were bk in Frank n wen we were under Prisma's thumb?

Hecra: Oh yeah, I can nvr forget tht one. Wait, u mean u wanna...

Hecro: Yeah, I think maybe the best for me is to be an information broker

Maximus; Are you mad/ That's dangerous

Hecro: I'm not doing it for shady ppl, I'm doing it for the law, n mostly domestic information, not those dark kinds tht got me into trouble

Hecra: Like the ones u had to dig up wen u tried to find out abt Oz being a bio-weapon?

Hecro: Yeah, something like tht. I'm not gonna risk my life again, trust me

Maximus; 8looked at Hecra8

Hecra: *gave him a "He needs this" nod; he has to give Hecro his support, it was his only way to cope*

Maximus; Alright but you need to be careful

Hecro: *nods* I will

Kids: Mama no sad anymore?

Hecro: *shakes head* No, I'm OK for now. Thanks for worrying *hugs the kids*

Maximus; 8smiles8

Cell 1: Hey I heard there's a new band in town

Cell 2: Me too! I got a feeling they'll top The Biotics

Cell 3: No~ No one can top The Biotics. Who is it?

Ricardo: *shook his head in amusement at youngsters who chase fads*

Antonio; 8twitched his ear8

Cell 2: Dont tell me u dont knw the band Smokescreen! The lead singer is only the most hottest germ evr Nick-O-Teen!

Ricardo: *accidentally gripped n crashed the glass he was cleaning at upon hearing tht name, cutting his palm*

Antonio; 8ran ut8

Cell 3: Woah! Dude, u alright?

Ricardo: Uuh, umm, yeah, I'm good. Ahh, crap... *took a towel to press against his cut*

Leah; 8arched a brow8

Ricardo: *once the bandage is done, got up quickly* Well, bk to work *went bk to the bar to continue his work as if nothing happened*

Vincent; 8was a bit shaken8

Salvador: *doesnt reply, still not looking at her directly*

TOYLB: Lurker in the Shadows- Season 8-3

Thrax; 8groans slightly8

Ozzie: *was sitting nxt to him n took his hand gently* Hey, hon. I'm here. How're u feeling?

Thrax; 8woke up8 Droozy

Drix: Just lay there for a while, let the sedatives ride out. U might wanna keep away frm strenous exercise for a bit just so the sutures could heal, n u might need this for the time being *takes a bag of ice n puts it onto Thrax's groin*

Thrax; 8shivered8

Ozzie: *chuckles* I knw u can take it, hon, just bear with it

Thrax; 8takes a deep breathe8

Drix: Well so far we got some pretty favourable findings abt Oz's AI womb. U good to hear it?

Thrax; 8sat up8

Drix: Frm wat I understand, the AI was the one who reconstructed the womb, so its as much science as it is biology, so all we hv to do is reprogram the womb to try n fix it to behave to match ur physiology, not the physiology of a gargoyle cell

Ozzie: Why didnt u figure this out before?

Drix: Tht's coz u nvr reli came to me during ur pregnancy with Jared n Ozma. I would've done something if u would've asked

Ozzie: Then why the handicap tht Jared n Ozma has?

Thrax; 8narrowed his eyes8

Drix: Its ur clashing physiology with the physiology the AI programmed the womb to be. The AI made it to behave like a gargoyle cell, bt ur not a gargoyle cell, so tht caused some form of mutation, thus the handicap

Ozzie: I knew it...Its my fault... *looked dwn sadly*

Thrax; It's not baby, if anything it's the pill's 8glares at Drix8 you created that thing

Drix: I created the thing, bt I didnt turn it into a monster tht took ovr Oz's body. Let me remind u tht this thing was in test phase, I wasnt evn ready to test it yet until tht Gunther kid showed up n used it behind my bk

Thrax; You really should have kept it secret before revealing it to anyone

Drix: Alright, I'll admit tht's my fault on tht. I'm gonna fix this, alright? I promise

Ozzie: How r u gonna do tht?

Drix: Its a bit of a delicate procedure, bt basically its gonna involve my trusty PC n a bit of wiring installed to ur pelvis, the closest area to ur womb. Frm there I'll try to configure it so tht it would behave as it should be. It may take a few tweaks, bt I'm sure it can be done. Ur gonna hv to stay here for the procedure tho

Ozzie: I'm good if Thrax's OK with it

Thrax; You better be sure about this

Drix: I'm quite sure abt it. I cant make promises, bt I'll promise I'll try

Thrax; 8snorts8

Ozzie: *nudged Thrax, giving him a "Give him a chance" frown*

Thrax; 8lay back8

Drix: Oh, just thought u should knw. Ur brother Hecro, he had a miscarriage last night

Ozzie: Wait, what? He was pregnant?

Drix: *shrugged n sighed* He said he didnt knw he was pregnant. He nvr showed any signs. It was there n it was gone. He, Hecra n Max r pretty beat up abt it

Thrax; 8bit his lip8

Ozzie: Oh, poor Hecro...

Drix: These things just happen, I'm afraid

Thrax; Wish we knew

Ozzie: I feel so bad for him now wen I'm going to do this n yet he just lost a child

Drix: No one's to be blamed, unfortunately. We didnt knw this would happen the same time ur doing this

Thrax; Some tings just can't be predicated

Drix: So I'm gonna book u in to stay in our ward. Maybe u wanna call someone at home to bring ur necessities here, Oz?

Ozzie: I'll call Leah, she's closer to our home

Thrax; 88sighed deeply8

Ozzie: *dialed Leah's number*

Leah; Hello?

Ozzie: Hey, Leah girl, its me, listen... *tells her abt evrything tht has happened so far* So I knw ur busy with the restaurant, bt if u get off work, can u help me bring all my necessary things? I think Thrax can come home as soon as he recovers frm surgery bt he wont be too well enough to go bk n forth

Leah; Zure Ozzy

Ozzie: Oh, hopefully u can ask Alexis to tell Miracle to sleep ovr with the kids tonight coz Thrax most likely would go home only tomorrow

Leah; Alright

Ozzie: Thanks, Leah girl, ur a doll

Leah; 8bid him goodbye n hung up8

TOYLB: Lurker in the Shadows- Season 8-2

Ozzie: *got in n came up to Drix's floor* Hey, Drix

Drix: Morning. Before we get started, u wanna see Othello?

Ozzie: *thought for a moment, then nodded*

Drix: Alright. Come with me

Thrax; 8fallowed them but stay by the door8

Ozzie: *followed Drix n saw the cylinder tht contained Othello* Is tht...her?

Drix: Yes. Not sure if its wise for u to go near it, bt be my guest

Thrax; 8gripped the frame8

Ozzie: *goes near the cylinder, running his fingers on the glass tube* Hey there, its me, ur mom

*the fetus slowly bobbed n floated as if to try n face him, then gave him a sort of dark look, despite hving no eyes yet*

Thrax; 8winced8

Ozzie: *flinched a bit, bt steeled himself n smiled at the fetus* Its OK, Mommy will make u all better, OK? Dont be mad at Mommy. U'll come bk to Mommy n evrything will be alright. I promise *kissed the cylinder*

*the fetus looked like it flinched bkwards, almost like it couldnt believe wat Oz just said, then bobbed n floated as if to turn its bk on him*

Drix: Man...tht is weird

Thrax; 8sweatdropped8

Ozzie: First thing to do at someone who's mad at u, be extra nice, tht's experience frm an ex-cop

Drix: *chuckles* Same ol' Oz. Alright. Lets go to my lab, we'll fix tht wonky womb of urs

Thrax; Where would I need to go/

Drix: Well if ur up for the snip, I can arrange for one of my assistants to do it for u right now

Ozzie: *looks at Thrax, waiting for him to decide*

Thrax; 8nods8

Drix: Alright, I'll ring 'em *dials the intercom* Jamison, get ready with Pattie. Ur on for a snip assignment. Yes, prepare Room 5. Uh-huh. N send Teresa up here to my lab so tht u can pick my friend up for the surgery. Alright, thanks *hangs up* We'll wait for Teresa n she can show u the room

Ozzie: U sure u wanna do this, hon? *held his hand*

Thrax; Better me than you baby

Ozzie: U want me to be with u in the surgery?

Thrax; I'll be fine, it's simple procedure

Ozzie: OK. I'll cya wen I'm done with Drix

Teresa: *came ovr* Who's the one getting the snip?

Thrax; That'll be me

Teresa: Alright, come with me then *led him the way*

Thrax; 8fallowed8

*Teresa led him to Room 5, where the ppl Drix called Jamison n Pattie were waiting, all dressed in their surgical uniform*

Jamison: Ur the one taking the snip?

Thrax; 8nods8

Jamison: Alright. Pls get changed into our clinic gown n lie dwn on the bed there n we'll prep u for it. Pattie, get him the gown, pls

Pattie; 8nodded n went to fetch it8

Teresa: *prepared the divider so tht Thrax can change behind it*

Thrax; 8dressed into the scrubs8

Jamison: *got ready the tools*

Teresa: *chked if he was done n gestured him to the bed*

Thrax; 8lay down8

Jamison: We're gonna knock u out now, n we will be done in almost no time. U wont evn feel a thing, a'ight? Pattie, bringing in the gas

Pattie; 8wheeled over the tank8

Jamison: *took the face mask tht was attached to the tank n brought it ovr Thrax's nose n mouth* Just count backwards frm 10 to 1 n u'll be in seventh heaven *turned on the gas*

Thrax; 8mentally did so

Jamison: *waited till Thrax was knocked out then got started with the procedure*

8the other two assistant8

*almost an hour later, the surgery was complete, n they wheeled Thrax to a room to recuperate*

Jamison: Go give Drix a ring, Pattie. Tell him its done

Pattie; Right 8contacted Drix8

Drix: *picked up the intercom* Yes, issat u, Pattie?

Pattie; Yes sir

Drix: Alright, cool. Which room is he in?

Pattie; 8said which8

Drix: Thanks. Great job, u guys. Cya later *hung up* He's in the recuperating room no 8. U wanna go see him. We can tell him abt wat we've found

Ozzie: Yeah, sure

TOYLB: Lurker in the Shadows- Season 8-1

*the next day, Oz woke up early to prepare breakfast for the kids before his meeting with Drix*

Thrax; 8was out for a morning jog8

Ozzie: *finished partial of the breakfast wen he saw the triplets were already awake* Hey, Sakura, Kiaran, Ozzex. U guys r up early

Kiaran: Ozzex kicked me off the bed

Ozzex: Did not! U fell off urself! N Moooom~ Kia whacked me awake with his pillow~

Leah; Isn't Othello a boy's name? n I'm zure this one's a girl

Ozzie: Reli? Bt I dunno, it seems to suit it tho...

Thrax; Does roll off the tongue

Ozzie: We'll decide properly wen its born, bt for now, we'll settle wif Othello

Thrax; 8nods8

Drix: U most likely hv to run some tests to figure tht womb out, maybe need a bit of coordination. U alright to come ovr to our lab tomorrow?

Thrax; Gonna see if I can get a medical exam for Edison 8took out a spare phone8

Lavinia: Is he reli staying here with us?

Rodeo: Apparently *sighed grudgingly*

Rouge; 8sighs angrily8

Ambrose: Would u rather let Eddie be out there in the streets n maybe give birth alone maybe to a dead baby? Klep wouldnt allow tht

Lavinia: Well, if u put it tht way...

Lativina; 8winced8

Miracle: So wat happened? Wat's the story?

Ozzie: *explained it to Miracle n the girls*

Alexis; 8lay on the ground8

Lavinia: *covered her mouth in shock*

Miracle: So...he reli doesnt hv a...? *gestured into his mouth*

Ozzie: Yup, totally gone

Alexis; 8shudders8

Lavinia: Man, tht's just cruel...evn for Eddie

Lavtina; 8nods8

Miracle: So...u guys r actually OK with...well, u knw, Edison being bk n all? N hving a baby to boot?

8the siblings exchanged looks8

Rodeo: I'm not too happy abt this, bt its for the sake of the spawn, then yeah...

Ambrose: He's been good as gold so far, no attacks on Osbourne wen he clearly had the chance, so yeah, why not?

8the others nod8

Ozzie: Tho I'm curious...Does this mean Klepta will hv to take Eddie as his mate now, with the baby coming n all

Thrax; That's their choice

Ambrose: Yup. Eddie technically isnt blood-related to us, so its pretty legal. N they're gonna hv to be mates, since the baby is gonna need proper parents

Thrax; 8scoffed8

Alexis; 8snarled at the 'proper parents' comment8

Ambrose: *raise a brow* Wat? Did I say something wrong?

Thrax; Proper parents?

Ambrose: Well, the baby needs a mother n father, right? So if they're not mates, how r they gonna raise...

Alexis; A singel person can raise a child

Ambrose: Yeah, bt u think Eddie can take care of the baby on his own? Klepta would not allow tht. N I doubt Eddie would give up the baby to Klepta without a fight

Alexis; 8flexed his claws8 This is the only acception

Lavinia: Ur ovranalysing this, Ambrose. Just let them decide. If Klepta decides to take Eddie as mate either way, we can't stop him. U knw how Klep is wen he set his mind to do things

Rodeo: Ugh, one thing's for sure, I'm not accepting Eddie as my... *shuddered* bro-in-law, not wen he was a crappy brother to begin with

Alexis; And whose fault is that?

Rodeo: *frowned* R u insinuating tht WE turned Eddie crazy? He was fucking kooked out on his own without our help, thank u vry much

Alexis; 8snorts8

Rodeo: Aah~ Its a waste of time arguing this~ Meh~ I'm gonna head off to the arcade. U guys do watever u want~ *went off*

Ambrose: Forgive my bro, he holds a grudge like nobody's business n a little bit hot-headed. Makes me wonder if u n him r reli twins, Rouge

Rouge; In looks but not personality

Klepta: *came dwnstairs* Hey, guys

Ozzie: How's he doing?

Klepta: Calmed dwn a bit, n he's sleeping. I just made a call to our personal physician to chk him out. He'll be here any minute

Thrax; 8nods8

*a few minutes later, the doorbell rang*

Thrax; 8looked through the peephole8

*a yeast bacteria along with a she-germ waved at the peephole, mouthing "I'm the doctor" frm his end*

Thrax; 8opened the door8

Bacteria: Hey, I'm the personal physician for The Biotics. May I knw who's the patient?

Thrax; 8looked at Klepta8

Klepta: *came up to him* Right this way, pls, Doc *led the doc n his assistant upstairs*

Ozzie: *got up to follow behind them, giving Thrax a "Come along" jerk of the head*

Thrax; 8fallowed8

*the doc came in n with the assistant's help, did a full examination on Edison*

Edison: *stirred a little bt was so tired he didnt wake up n let the doc do his thing*

Thrax; 8leaned on the door frame8

Klepta: So how is he?

Doc: Just one question, wat kind of hybrid is he?

Klepta: Eh? Wat do u...

Ozzie: *realized n quickly butt in* Erm, he's half-HIV, doc

Doc: *nods* Well, tht explains how he is able to conceive, since u say he's purely male. Hybrids usually tend to hv 50-50 chances of conception for males, just like cell hybrids do. Frm wat I can see in his pregnancy stage, I'd say he'll be due in 2 mths time

Thrax; 8exchanged looks with ozzy8

Ozzie: *gave him a "I'll explain later" look*

Doc: Well, he's a little malnourished, bt it seems tht the baby is developing fine. Give him something to eat wen he wakes up, n let him eat as much as he likes, he's gonna need the energy for the baby. I'll come again to chk on him in a fortnight's time. N *held out his hand to Klepta* Congratulations

Klepta: *shook it* Thanks *apparently it seems he didnt tell the doc tht Edison was his adopted brother*

Thrax; 8stepped aside8

*the doc left with the assistant, let himself out*

Klepta: Hey, Osbourne. Wat do u mean by him being a hybrid...?

Ozzie: Remember last time wen we tried to rescue Mira frm him? Remember u keep trying to kill him bt he doesnt seem to die? He force-fused himself with a HIV dog, he told us tht, remember? Tht's why I knew...

Alexis; 8sighed8

Klepta; Oh...Right...I remember tht... *lit up* Which reminds me, if tht is the case, where IS his dog? If he's still alive right now, the dog shouldnt be too far away. Aftr all, he'll only die if the dog dies

Thrax; Good questions

Ozzie: Maybe u can help find it, Alex. Since ur better at the scent department

Alexis; I would need it's scent

Ozzie: Well, I would think Eddie has its scent, since he's half-HIV

Alexis; 8nods, taking in a deep wiff from Edison8

Ozzie: Got anything?

*the scent led him eastward*

Alexis; 8took off8

Ozzie: I guess he found the scent. I better send Mira off. The kids might need their mother *goes dwnstairs*

Thrax; 8fallowed8

Miracle: *sees them* Everything alright?

Ozzie: Yeah, Alex needs to settle something. I think u should go home. Polly n Samson might need u, n we need to get bk to our kids as well

Miracle: I'm sure Sakura n the rest can handle themselves just fine

Ozzie: True, bt Olivia still needs a bit of attention frm us. She's still trying to settle in aftr all, n I need to get her ready to be registered to school

Thrax; 8nods8

Miracle: Alright, lets go then

Ozzie: Well, we'll be taking our leave now, sis. Let us knw if there's any news frm Alex, a'ight?

Lavinia: Alright. I'll give Mira a ring

Rouge; Later

*the Roja gang bid The Biotics goodbye*

Rodeo: *just got home wen the gang came out the door*

Ozzie: Hey, Rodeo. U cooled off?

Rodeo: *pouts n looked away* So...How's Eddie?

Thrax; Slightly malnutritioned but in good health

Rodeo: Hmm...N the baby?

Ozzie: Growing nice n strong. U'll be an uncle in 2 mths time

Rodeo: Hnn...

Miracle: *grins* Heh, u do care, evn a little bit

Rodeo: *looked a bit flustered* Sh...Shut it...Bye... *went inside the house*

Thrax; 8smirked8

Ozzie: *chuckles n they all left to their respective homes*

TOYLB: Lurker in the Shadows- Season 7-7

*the gang followed Alexis to the apartment where Edison was staying*

Ozzie: This the plc, Alex?

Alexis; 8nods8

Rodeo: Man, this building has gone to the dogs, no pun intended, Alexis

Ambrose: It is a safety hazard

Thrax; 8looked round8

Ozzie: Which floor does Eddie live in, Alex?

Alexis; 8pointed it out8

Ambrose: Right, lets go

*the gang went up, then Ambrose shoved Klepta gently to the front n jerked his head, telling him to do the honors*

Klepta: *frowned a little before sighing n knocked*

Thrax; 8listened8

*a bit of shuffling was heard before the door was answered, n wen Eddie looked to see Klepta n the gang, he started n quickly tried to slam the door*

Alexis; 8slammed it open8

Edison: *activated his Deadman powers n tried to shoot them with it; apparently he still had his powers given to him frm the barracks*

Alexis; 8hissed8

*the twin boys used their hair power to elongate n bind him to subdue him*

Ozzie: Careful, bros, he's with child, remember?

Rodeo: Yeah, whatevr. Hold still, Eddie!

Rouge; 8snarled8

Ozzie: *realized tht Edison hadnt said anything since they met, not evn one word, n the noises he made wen he struggled sounded weird, like he had heard this kind of noise before as he paled a little* Thrax...Open his mouth. Chk inside

Thrax; 8got close n easied his mouth open8

Edison: *struggled to pull away bt Thrax's hold was strong, n opening the mouth revealed tht his tongue had been cut off*

Thrax; 8winced, shucking in a breathe8

Ozzie: *covered his mouth* Oh Frank...

Rodeo: *sees it too* Holy spit...Is tht...?

Alexis; 8nods8

Klepta: Oh Frank...Oh Frank, wat hv they done to u, Eddie...?

Edison: *snapped his mouth shut, biting his lip as he looked away, tears welling up*

Thrax; Was it the barricks?

Edison: *shut his eyes tight, not responding, bt his facial expressions were answer enough*

Thrax; 8wasn't surprised8

Klepta: Oh, Eddie...Eddie, I'm so sorry... *held Edison close*

Edison: *sobs in his arms as the twin bros noticed he had stopped struggling n released him*

Thrax; Now what/

Ambrose: Well, obviously he can't tell us wat we need to knw, wat with his tongue gone n all

Ozzie: Maybe u should try the link, hon. Try to tap into his memories like u did for me

Thrax; If he'll allow me

Klepta: *held Edison's cheeks* Eddie, we need to knw wat happened...

Edison: *shook his head hard*

Klepta: Pls, Eddie. We need to knw wat happened so tht we can help u. Do it for me, OK? Pls?

Edison: *bit his lip n finally nodded with a sob*

Thrax; 8got into meditative position8

Klepta: *helped Edison to sit like him as well in front of him, keeping his hand on his shoulder so he knws he's safe*

*the mind link slowly led Thrax to a dark room tht only had a dim light in the middle, n at a corner sat Edison, curled up in a fetal position*

Thrax; 8sowly approached him8

Edison: *felt his presence, bt didnt look up* Ur inside my head, aren't u?

Thrax; Yes

Edison: *sits up slowly n turned to him* I suppose u wanna knw wat happened

Thrax; 8nods8

Edison: *held out his hand, gesturing him to take it*

Thrax; 8gently took it8

*the moment their hands touched, they were transported to the day Edison was arrested n taken away. The legendary cruelty of the barracks were laid bare before him as the scene showed him, along with Ramon n the other ppl selected to be Deadman undergoing rigorous torture to break dwn their spirit*

Thrax; 8shallowed back the bile in his throat, memories coming back8

*scenes followed one by one, showing Edison being waterboarded, being kept in different kinds of torture cells: one with strobing lights, then one in complete darkness, then one with blasting music played in a loop*

Thrax; 8breathed heavily8

*then the scene switched to a catatonic Edison sitting in a surgery room being strapped on a surgery chair, n without evn much of a courtesy of a stronger or proper anaesthetic, the surgeon just force fed him some over-the-counter numbing solution with a shot of tequila before cutting out his tongue*

Edison: *winced at the scene. Despite being catatonic, he does remember tht scene n remembered being barely numb enough to get it ovr with*

Thrax; 8growled8

*the scene changed to Edison n the Deadmen being hung by their wrists with loads of surgical wires n tubes sticking out of their backs, indicating their initiation to turn their blood into the Deadmen machines they r*

Thrax; 8looked at Edison8

Edison: *wasnt reli looking* Yeah, u saw tht. Tht's how we were turned. How my blood...has become a weapon *looks at his hand*

Thrax; 8gently squeezed it8

Edison: *blushed a little in embarrassment being pitied like this as he looked away again*

*the scene switched again to the day they were going to be drafted for the blood pact, n the scene where Edison grabbed Oz's hand for no reason for a while before letting go*

Edison: Tht was wen I started to remember. I took one close look at Oz n everything came bk to me, my past, my memories with the family, wat I did to our mom n to the unborn Oz, n...wat I did later on here before I was taken by the barracks. I dunno how, n I dunno why. It just seemed to click. Like seeing Oz unlocked everything

Thrax; He has that affect

Edison: Tht or my hatred for Oz runs so deep tht seeing him just triggers everything

Thrax; 8tightened his hold8

Edison: *ignored tht hold; he was used to pain by now*

*the scene then showed him at the blood pact, n wen he flowed out along with the Deadmen, he somehow manuvered his body against the flow n it led him floating off to another direction, then he used his Deadman powers to levitate himself n snuck off into one of the barrack cars, stealthily assassinating the driver before making a run for it, all without evn alerting anyone*

Thrax; 8inhaled deply8

*the scene changed bk to the dark, dim room as Edison curled up at his corner again*

Edison: U pretty much knw the rest. I let Klepta fuck me n now I'm knocked up with his kid. All I ever wanted...n yet...I dont feel happy

Thrax; That's because you went about it the wrong way

Edison: Wat do u mean? I spared Osbourne, didnt I? I could've killed him anytime I wanted, bt I've decided its no longer worth it anymore! I knew I would upset Klepta if I did tht, n the cycle will repeat itself again, so I decided to be the bigger person n let Osbourne go! Klepta has always been wat I wanted! I wanted him to be my mate, my lover, the father of my child. I got wat I wanted! Why? Why do I feel so upset?! Why am I not satisfied?! Why do I still feel so sad?! *starts tearing up as he sobbed hard, grabbing his shaking head*

Thrax; 8knealt before him8

Edison: Get outta here! Get outta my head! I dont need ur pity!! *sobs as he curled up evn more*

Thrax; Easy now

Edison: *sobs hard* I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...All I want is Klepta...He's all I want...That's all I want...Klepta... *sobs*

Thrax; 8held him8

Edison: *sobs hard as he tentatively bt surely clung onto Thrax n sobbed hard*

Thrax; 8held him close8

Edison: Pls...Dont let him hate me...Dont let Klepta hate me... *sobs* Pls dont let them kill my baby...I knw the twins...n Ambrose...they hate me...

Thrax; I'm not too happy with ya either but for the sake of the child. . . .

Edison: Dont let them kill my baby...I beg u, pls... *sobs as he slowly disintegrated, then a blinding flash, n they were both in reality*

Thrax; 8stood up8

Ozzie: *went up to him*

Klepta: So, got anything?

Thrax; 8was a bit shaky on his feet8

Ozzie: *sat him dwn on the couch, n went to get him some water*

Edison: *clung to Klepta quickly, still terrified of wat the twins n Ambrose might do to him*

Rouge; 8looked at his brother8

Rodeo: *shrugs, not sure if its a good idea to rub anything in*

Ambrose: So, care to share some insight*

Thrax; 8slowly sipped the water8

Ozzie: Its alright, Thrax, take ur time

Thrax; 8inhaled deeply n told them what he found8

*everyone sucked in a breath at how Edison was treated at the barracks*

Thrax; 8sighed8

Ozzie: Oh crap, evn a good city like this can still hv such brutal ppl

8the others nod8

Rodeo: So wat's the decision here? Wat r we gonna do with Eddie n...tht hellspawn inside him?

Edison: *let out a whimper, clinging evn more on Klepta*

Klepta: Reli, Rodeo? Ur going there? Seriously?

Alexis; 8clawing the floor in warning

Rodeo: *sighed in exasperation* Fine, fine. Wat do u think, bro? *turns to his twin*

Rouge; Ya know my answer

Rodeo: Wat abt u, Amb?

Ambrose: I can protest all I want, bt ultimately its Klep n Eddie's decision

Ozzie: I second tht

Thrax; 8nods8

Klepta: Its OK, Eddie. We're not going to take the baby away. We're not going to kill it. Its my baby too, OK?

Edison: *nods, sniffling*

Ozzie: U sure as hell cant stay in this hellhole. Its built to collapse at a sneeze or something

Alexis; 8nods8

Klepta: He can stay with us

Rodeo: Wat? No way, I draw the line on tht one!

Alexis; 8side kicked him8

Rodeo: Ouch! Wat? Aftr wat he did, u think we'd let him in to our home??

Klepta: He's staying with us, period. If u dont like it, u can move out

Alexis; 8smirks8

Rodeo: *turns to Rouge* Bro~ Say something~ Amb~!

Ambrose: *gave him a "Dont look at me" shrug*

Rouge; 8shook his head8

Rodeo: *rolled his eyes n groaned* Fine~ He can stay with us, bt he's staying in UR room, Klep. Its ur baby, so its UR responsibiliity

Klepta: Dont worry ur head off, Rodeo, I plan to *patted Edison's bk* There, there, ur safe, Eddie. Ur coming home with us, OK?

Edison: *smiled sadly n nodded, still clinging onto him*

Alexis; 8took a blanket out of the pack he was carrying n wrapped round Edison8

Edison: *was a little taken aback by the sudden kindness, bt he didnt reject it*

Ozzie: I'll go dwn to the landlord to settle Eddie's rent. U guys bring him out of this building

Thrax; Right, c'mon guys

Klepta: *nodded n took Edison's hand*

*the rest followed suite as Ozzie went to the office to settle Eddie's remaining rent*

Thrax; 8looked round8

Ozzie: *came out to meet them*

Klepta: I owe u one, Osbourne

Ozzie: Oh its fine. We're family, I dont mind doing it

Edison: *looked at him in surprise wen Oz said tht, then looked away rather ashamed*

Thrax; 8rested his hand on the viruses' shoulder8

TOYLB: Lurker in the Shadows- Season 7-6

*the gang got there in 15 mins. Oz was in the nursery tucking Ozma in wen they came*

Miracle: Daddy? Pops? I'm here

Thrax; 8came in8

*the Biotics sat dwn while Oz came with drinks for them*

Klepta: *was feeling a little awkward right now*

8Thrax n Alexis kept by the door8

Miracle: Uncle Klep, dont u hv something to say to ur other sibs, since I assume Aunty Lavinia n Lavatnia already has an idea abt it

Ambrose: Yeah, wat is it tht u can't tell us? Its not tht bad right? Its not like u got raped or anything

Alexis; Worse than ya think

Klepta: *looked dwn at his feet as he quietly told the truth to everyone*

Thrax; 8grabbed him by the throat once he was done8 What the hell were you thinking/

Ozzie: Thrax, no!

Klepta: *choked* I...I didnt knw...I thought...I thought it was some groupie...N...N I can't...help it if I kinda l...liked it...

Ozzie: THrax, no, stop it! Ur killing him *tries to pull him away*

Thrax; 8his spines shot out8

Alexis; 8hid a smirk8

Ozzie: Thrax, no! Calm dwn! Let him go!! *his emotion forced a blade to shoot out of his shoulder n pointed threateningly at Thrax's jugular* If u kill him, I swear to Frank...

Klepta: *tries to break free too, his face going blue frm choking*

Thrax; He knew that bastard was back n gave him what he wanted, what if he comes after you again

Klepta: Wait, wat? Who's bk? Eddie??

Ozzie: *nodded at him* IT was him u fucked, bro

Klepta: I didnt knw it was Edison, I swear! It was dark, n wen it wasnt, he would blindfold me, I swear! I reli didnt knw it was him until u just mention it!

Alexis; You could have refused from the beginning instead of being used like a toy

Klepta: *bit his lip, he had no excuse for tht*

Rodeo: U gotta be kidding me! U fucked Eddie? U fucked EDDIE?! N knocked him up?! Well, granted he's not blood-related to us, bt still! U fucked n bloody knocked him up! Aftr all this time we tried to keep him AWAY frm u!!

Klepta: *sobbed as he lowered his head*

Ozzie: *managed to push Thrax off n hugged Klepta* Its OK, bro, its OK...Shh...It's OK... *glared at everyone with a "Stop rubbing it in" look*

8the two brothers didn't show sympathy8

Ambrose: *thankfully is the rational party* Alright, alright, forget who fucked who. The point is Eddie's bk, wen he's supposed to be in barrack custody. How did tht happen?

Ozzie: *sighed n told them abt the Deadman project n Eddie being one of them* N evn Ramon is also one of them too, tho I dunno whether Taka n Orion should knw abt this

Alexis; So how the heck is he back

Ozzie: Tht's a mystery evn to us

Ambros: Alright, so he's bk, n he hasnt done anything else bt getting dwn with Klepta. Havent u noticed tht its been a while since he's ard n he hasn't laid a single hand on Osbourne wen he had plenty of chances to do so? Think abt it, he might not be too much of a threat now. We all knw his main obsession was Klepta, so Osbourne might be in the clear for now. The question is the child inside him. Should we terminate or not?

Klepta: *shot up n glared dwn at Ambrose* Wat the fuck r u suggesting?!

Ambrose: True, bt Eddie is carrying it. Unless he's a herm, which we're 100% sure he isn't, viruses of the same sex cannot procreate, so how is he knocked up in the first plc? N r we sure the child is evn safe to begin with?

Klepta: Its MY child ur talking here, asswipe!!

Thrax; Fraid I'm with Klepta about this, it's against my nature

Alexis; And mine

Ambrose: *sighed* Then we're keeping it then? Alright, why dont we go track him dwn n find out wat's the deal. Ask him himself how he was able to snap bk to reality n avoid being in the blood pact

Thrax; 8nods8

Ambrose: *turns to Alexis* Do u still remember where the plc is?

Alexis; Of course

Ambrose: Then lets go there. The girls will stay to watch the house n the kids, n its best if u stay too, Mira

Miracle: OK

Ambrose: The rest can come. U up for it, Osbourne?

Ozzie: *nodded*

Alexis; 8lead the way8

TOYLB: Lurker in the Shadows- Season 7-5

*the stranger sped off dwn to the desolate part of the liver area*

Alexis; 8fallowed silently8

*the stranger made his way to his hideout, which is a pretty shitty apartment, something tht should be torn dwn a long time ago, then as he opened the fridge n the light illuminated his face, it was revealed to be Edison*

Alexis; 8bit back a growl, wondering how he's even here8

Edison: *his eyes were no longer blank like he was wen he was a Deadman, bt it still lost its shine, maybe evn no longer hving the killing instinct, n he had quite a baby bump protruding, like he had been pregnant for quite some time now*

Alexis; 8narrowed his eyes8

Edison: *got himself orange juice n sipped it, sighing to himself as he caress his baby bump*

Alexis; 8kept watch8

Edison: *finished his orange juice, then leaned bk n fell asleep on the couch he was sitting on*

Alexis; 8darted away8

Miracle: *had finished their recording for the day n tried to call Alexis on his cell*

Alexis; 8came in8

Miracle: *looks up to see him enter* Hey, love. I've been trying to call u. Where hv u been?

Alexis; We've got trouble

Miracle: *stole a look at The Biotics, then made his way to the restroom* Wat is it, honey? U OK?

Alexis; 8told him what he learned8

Miracle: *gasped* Th-That's impossible! I thought the army barracks hv taken him away to be executed!

Alexis; So did I

Miracle: We better tell Daddy n Pops abt this. Edison is Daddy's biggest threat, who knws wat he might do to him *took out his cell n dialled Thrax's number*

Thrax; Hello/

Miracle: Hey, Pops. I got something reli serious to tell u *told him wat Alexis told him*

Thrax; 8paled8 Are you sure/

Miracle: Affirmative. Alexis saw him with his own eyes

Ozzie: *was breastfeeding Ozma wen he saw Thrax pale at his phonecall*

Thrax; 8bit his lip, so hard it bled8

Miracle: Well, just thought u guys need a headsup. We'll talk wen we get there at ur plc. Bye, Pops

Ozzie: *came to him worriedly n touched his cheek* U OK, baby? What's wrong?

Thrax; 8gripped the phone so tight it shattered8

Ozzie: Thrax, ur scaring me. Tell me, wat's wrong?

Thrax; Edison

Ozzie: *his heart skipped a beat at upon hearing tht* W-W-Wat abt h-h-him...?

Thrax; He's back

Ozzie: *his legs went weak as he tried to sit dwn, holding Ozma close n trembled* Th...Tht's impossible...I saw him...I saw him in the group leaving the bloodstream wen Goliath made the blood curse...

Thrax; 8snarled8

Ozzie: *starts hyperventilating, pretty traumatized with wat Edison had did to him bk then*

Thrax; 8held him8

Ozzie: *tries to calm dwn as he leans close to Thrax* Wat happened? W-Wat did Mira say?

Thrax; 8told him what was told8

Ozzie: Bt...how? How did he...? *looks agitated*

Thrax; Wish I knew baby

Ozzie: We hv to tell Klepta abt this. He has to knw. If it reli is Edison, tht means he just knocked Eddie up! He's carrying his child!

Thrax; I think he may kow

Ozzie: We'll see. Text Mira n tell him bring my sis n bros here as well. We need to discuss this, n tell them wat we knw abt Edison as well wen he was in the barracks

Thrax; 8nod8 though looked at his ruined phone8

Ozzie: *sighed* Tht phone was old anyway. It's time to get a new one. I'll text it *went n got his cell to text it*

Miracle: *got Oz's msg* Daddy said my uncles n aunts hv to come with us to see them as well

Alexis; 8shivers then snarls8

Miracle: C'mon, lets go tell The Biotics *goes to the coffee lounge where they were chillin' n approached Klepta* We need to talk

Klepta: Eh? Wat abt? Is it the recording? If its tht, I'm reli sorry, I swear I'll do better...

Alexis; It ain't that

Miracle: We knw

Klepta: *started a little, then looked at the twin girls*

Lavinia; *gave him a "Don't look at me" shrug*

Lavtina; 8shrugged8

Miracle: I dont need tattletales to tell me things

Rodeo: Wat r u guys talking abt?

Rouge; 8arched his brow8

Ambrose: Yeah, wat r they talking abt, Klep?

Klepta: *hesitated then looked away*

Miracle: We'll talk wen we get to my parents. C'mon, lets go

8everyone fallowed him8

TOYLB: Lurker in the Shadows- Season 7-4

*a few weeks has passed, and Olivia has been settling nicely into the family. Ozzie decided to go to Drix later once he has got Olivia settled in school and such. Miracle's career was going pretty well, n they were going to produce another album collab wtih The Biotics*

Miracle: *in the recording room, singing a duet with Lavinia n Lavatnia for this particular song*

Alexis; 8sat in a chair with his eyes closed, listening8

Klepta: *somehow was a little spaced out n wen they were supposed to hit the climax of the song, he messed up the tune*

Ambrose: Ack! Bro, this is the 5th time already!

Klepta: Wa-Wat? S-Sorry, I...

Alexis; 8looked up8

Miracle: Hey, u OK, Uncle Klep? U look kinda tired, n a little spaced out, I might add

Klepta; *looked away, a little flustered* Just...a bit of a late night, is all...

Lavinia; *cocked a brow, knwing where this was going*

Lavtina; 8bit her tongue8

Rodeo: Lets just take a break. We'll carry on later. Take 10, everyone

Klepta: *left off to get a smoke*

Miracle: *looked at Alexis n jerked his head a little, hoping he could talk to him*

*the twin girls dont seem to reject the idea either*

Alexis; 8fallowed him8

Klepta: *went to the smoking lounge n took a long drag of cigarette, stifling a yawn*

Alexis; 8kept hidden8

Klepta: *sighed, then suddenly he was blindfolded, bt not in a harsh way, n he seemed to be almost expecting it as he followed the stranger to a dark alley*

Alexis; 8fallowed in the shadows8

Klepta: Hey, stranger. U bk again? N in broad daylight? U sure r getting bolder *followed to the darker area n was pinned against the wall, bt he didnt resist him* U knw, u reli drain me out. U've been coming bk evry other day. I'm getting worried I wont perform well if this keeps up

Alexis; 8narrowed his eyes8

*the stranger, as usual, doesnt reply, bt instead of initiating sex as usual, he took Klepta's hand n pressed it against his middle, as if trying to tell him something*

Klepta: *his breath hitched* Wait...No, ur... *the grip on his wrist tightened, confirming his question*

Alexis; 8sniffed deeply8

Klepta: *looked a little flustered* Umm...I...Woah...Wat do u want me to do abt tht...?

*the stranger still kept mum, bt leaned forward to hug him tight, almost trembling*

Klepta; OK...OK, I'll...We'll figure something out...OK? Just tell me who u r n I can help u...

*the stranger pulled bk sharply, shook his head hard evn tho Klepta couldnt see him do it n let him go, making a run for it*

Alexis; 8went after the stranger silently8

Klepta: *sighed n undid his blindfold, didnt notice Alexis was spying him all along n went inside to continue practice*

TOYLB: Lurker in the Shadows- Season 7-3

*the family ate their dinner, n soon, the kids excused themselves to bring Olivia to the study to look at photo albums*

Thrax; 8smiled8

Ozzie: *chuckles as he cleared the table with Miracle*

Thrax; 8helped with the dishes8

*Miracle cleaned the table while Ozzie disposed of all the little leftovers while keeping the ones tht can still be eaten for the nxt day*

*all the kids were in the study n Kiaran n Ozzex took out heaps of photo albums for Olivia to see, pics since Frank's time*

8the others took their seats8

*the vry first picture was of the triplets Kiaran, Sakura n Ozzex, in their little bassinet, taken a day aftr Ozzex was born*

Olivia: Awww, u guys r so cute~!

Sakura; 8flshed scaret8

Kiaran: *grins proudly*

Ozzex: Crud, I totally forgot how tiny I was

Kiaran: Ur still tiny

Ozzex: Am not!

Rory; 8rolled his eyes, he showed Olivia an album that contained photos of their parents, uncles n aunts youth8

Olivia: Huh *looks at all the pics* I thought Uncles Jules n all were mostly on the run n dont get to take much pics

Jamie: They took wat they could...

Junko: Tho they lost their camera for a while...

Both: Then The Biotics found it n made this for us~!

Rory; 8smiled8

8there were even photos of their families though these ones were a bit worn8

Olivia: Wow, we reli go way, way bk, huh?

Kiaran: Tht's us, the awesome Roja-s

Sakura; 8rolled her eyes8

Olivia: I heard frm Jared just now wen we were at the dinner table. Is it true Ozma is...well, deaf?

Rory; It's true but no big

Olivia: Wouldnt it be tougher on her than on Jared? I mean, if she can't hear, she can't learn how to speak, n she'd be like wat they call a deaf-mute. I just worry abt her...

Sakura; Fathe's learned alot of tricks over the years

Olivia: Reli?

Kiaran: Yup, martial arts, magic, mind-linking, mind-reading...u name it, he's done it

Rory; So he can help Olivia as can Uncle Julius

Olivia: Our family reli is talented. Oh! I almost forgot *took out her card holder frm her pocket n revealed the picture of Oz n Thrax she's been carrying all her life* Here, another one to add into the photo album *took it out n put it at the vry first page just nxt to the triplet's baby pic*

Sakura; 8smiled8

Ozzex: Tht looks like wen Momma was pregnant with us. How did u hv it?

Olivia: *shrugged* I dunno. I just got it with me somehow. The nun in the orphanage said one day it was in my locker room on my first bday. I've been keeping it evr since

Rory; 8rested his hand on her sholder8

Olivia: *looks dwn, a little sad* I feel like I did something terrible...

Twins: Why?

Olivia: I saw my chimera...my twin sister...

Sakura; 8did a sharp intake8

Kiaran: Wait...wat?

Ozzex: Wat do u mean?

Olivia: *sighs n tells them the real reason why she wasnt healing quickly n the incident before they left the centre*

Rory; 8bit his tomgue8

Twins: Oh my...

Jared: *shuddered a little*

Kiaran: Tht is kinda creepy n sad

Olivia: *sniffled* I killed her...I almost killed her...I killed my own sister... *buries her head in her knees*

Rory; 8held her8

Jamie: U didnt mean to kill her

Junko: It was to get u better

Both: N she's technically not dead now, right?

Olivia: Still...She was part of me, she was my twin...

Sakura; You didn't know

Kiaran: Yeah, none of us knew, not evn Momma n Poppa. Its neither anyone's fault

Rory; 8nods8

Ozzex: Besides, if it wasnt done, u wouldnt be here with us

Sakura; He's right

Olivia: I knw, bt still doesnt feel right

Ozzex: I'm sure Momma n Poppa would figure out something. They always make things right for the family in the end, right, guys?

8they all nod8

Ozzie: *was at the other side of the door listening wen he was going to call them for desserts n heard evry word, n sighed quietly at the thought of Olivia's twin, stuck there in a lab tube with nothing bt her vengeful thoughts. He then knew he had to do this as he had his hand on his middle*

Thrax; 8came up behind him8

Ozzie: *felt his presence n looked up at him, saying softly as not to let the kids knw he eavesdropped on them* Hey, babe

Thrax; 8wrapped his arms round him8

Ozzie: *led him away to a corner of the house* I heard wat the kids were saying, n Livi is pretty beat up abt her twin

Thrax; 8nods8

Ozzie: I'm going to do it. Evn if it's gonna cost me my life, I'm gonna bring our little girl bk

Thrax; Just hope she doesn't have that piosonous personality

Ozzie: We'll weather that thru. We dealt with Livi before, we've had a taste of her poison beforehand

Thrax; 8nods8

Ozzie: R u OK with it tho? I did say I should stop hving kids, bt aftr hearing Livi just now...

Thrax; I know baby

Ozzie: *hugs him close, relieved tht Thrax sounded OK with it*

Thrax; 8smiled softly8

Ozzie: I'll call Drix abt it as soon as Livi is settled with us

Thrax; 8nods8

*the kids continued browsing thru photo albums until it was almost bedtime n all the other guests hv left home to retire for the night*

Sakura; 8stood up n stretched8

Ozzie: *knocked on the door n poked his head in* Alright, boys n girls, time for bed now

Rory; Coming

Twins: Sissy is bathing with us~!

Ozzie: *chuckles* Alright, those of u who havent bathe yet, go on now. Take turns, OK? No fighting or shoving like u guys did last night. The rest who has bathed go get ur toothbrushes n u can wash up at Momma n Poppa's bathroom

Rory; 8flossed his fangs8

Twins: *along with Hope brought Olivia to the bathroom n bathed together in the tub, having fun*

*Kiaran n Ozzex brushed their teeth, teasingly bumping each other at the hip while Jared gargled, giggling inwardly at the two mischievious bros*

Sakura; 8rolled her eyes as shedried her face8

Ozzie: *knocked on the bathroom door where the girls r* Not too long, girls. Or u'll turn into a prune

Twins: 'Kaaaaaaaaaaay~ *quickly finished up* C'mon, lets go. Dont forget to drain the tub, Hope

Hope; 8pulled the plug8

Olivia: *wrapped up in her towel n came out of the toilet, tho was a little clueless as to where she would sleep tonight, n was just pacing ard in front of  her parents' room with her towel on*

Thrax; 8scooped her up8

Olivia: *surprised* Oh, sorry, Daddy. I just...dunno where my room is supposed to be. I nvr got the chance to see it since the sibs been crowding me

Thrax; 8chuckles n takes her to the room at the hallway end8

Olivia: *sees the room n it was just wat all little girls want n more* Wow...I was expecting to share rooms with the other sibs, bt this...

Ozzie: Well, some of the kids want to share rooms, bt I think u deserve to hv ur own room *gave her a nightie* N here's ur nightie for bed. Dry up now. Dont wanna get a cold there

Thrax; 8gently set her down8

Olivia; *got dried while watching Ozzie getting the hair dryer to dry her hair*

Ozzie: *got the hair dryer n sat on the bed waiting for Olivia to come ovr*

Thrax; 8leaned on the doorframe8

Olivia: *sat quietly as her hair got blow-dried, the pair looking like a real proper mother n daughter as they should be*

Thrax; 8smiled8

Ozzie: There. All done *tucks her in* U get a good night's sleep now. Ur home, n ur safe. U will nvr be alone evr again

Olivia: Promise, Mommy? Daddy?

Ozzie: Cross my heart, sweetie

Thrax; 8kissed her forehead8

Olivia: *settled in n soon fell asleep, all tuckered out frm today's events, n looked peaceful finally in so many years*

Thrax; 8smiled gently8

Ozzie: *smiled too n kissed her forehead before leaving the room with Thrax* Our almost complete family

Thrax; 8nuzzles him8

Ozzie: *leans up to kiss him, getting a little intimate*

Thrax; 8purred8

Ozzie: *grinned at him a little n led him to the bedroom, where he kissed him more passionately*

Thrax; 8shuttered8

Ozzie: *gently got them on the bed n lifted Thrax's shirt to nibble and suck at his nipples*

Thrax; 8gasped8

Ozzie: *licked his lips n kept going low until he had Thrax's dick in his mouth, blowing him expertly aftr all these years of doing this*

Thrax; 8shivered8

Ozzie: *sucked it one last time with a pop before he lowered himself dwn onto the rod, riding it to the hilt, moaning out loud*

Thrax; 8grabbed his hips8

Ozzie: *pants n smiled dwn at him, then slowly started bobbing*

Thrax; 8moaned8

Ozzie: *leans dwn to kiss Thrax, fucking himself on Thrax's dick hard, hitting his spot just right as he clenched whenever it was hit*

Thrax; 8shivered8

Ozzie: I love u, I love u so much... *kept whispering tht as he bobbed harder n deeper*

Thrax; 8moans8 Love you to

Ozzie: *started to tear up as he was close to climax, his heart still welling up frm Ozma's handicap n of Olivia's twin; he couldnt help blaming himself somehow*

Thrax; 8held him close8

Ozzie: *bobbed until he finally came hard all ovr the both of them, letting out a sob as he did*

Thrax; 8held him8

Ozzie: *sobbed for a while in his arms; words need not to be said as he just needed his comfort. He cried for a while before kissing him and dropping off to sleep, tho forgetting tht Thrax's dick was still inside him*

Thrax; 8gently eased out, cleaning them up a litte8

Ozzie; *moaned a bit wen he was cleaned, bt other than tht he didnt wake*

Thrax; 8slid his boxers back on then nessled next to ozzy8

Ozzie: *nuzzled close to him, snoring silently*

Thrax; 8soon joined him8
