After Rorik had left them, Marcus already longed that his lover be close with him again soon. He was still caught with what happened earlier, and now his pregnancy demands him to feel a bit uncomfortable if he's without Ri. Rachel must have noticed, if the constant shifting and nervous gaze weren't enough. The bed dipped, and in the place of the husband filled in the mother. Although not to par with having his mate, M still found a bit of peace in himself with his mother.

Come on, dear. Eat up. You know you need the energy. With the dampened mood, the fairy was at first hesitant to eat. Think of the babies. If their mother's hungry, then they must be hungry too. Rorik will be back soon. and he complied. Oh he really hopes his love would come back to him in one piece. Surely his father won't do anything damaging, right? The more M worried.

------------------------

The human came back, along with him was the patriarch he'd been dreading to meet. Though once fierce eyes of the father had now its hints of solemnity, and anxiousness?

Honey, Rorik... can you please leave us for a while. Fear flashed through Marcus, a hand instinctively went around to protect his stomach. Greens implored his mate to not let this happen, but felt betrayal when the human just smiled and left as he was requested.

The bed dipped again, but this time there was no comfort. What do you want, father? It pained John to hear so much uncertainty and fear in his son's voice. 

I'm here to apologize. This gave chance for the younger to look up to his folk, eyes somewhat widened. It was wrong for me to have expected so much from you that it became unfair. I was wrong to have judged you by mating with a human, and terrorizing the said human because of it. I was wrong to not see that you are perfect just the way you are. I was wrong... The buff man gave a hearty breathe before continuing, taking the little body of his young leaf into an embrace.

I didn't want you to get hurt, be belittled because you're a submissive, so I decided to man you up even if you're not willing. When you began dating, I was disappointed that you chose a human. He would not be able to keep you with your heritage, but be a reason for its erase. Then, I have this mindset that humans are manipulative creatures....and I don't want you to fall victim. I'm really sorry for all  the trouble I caused you son. Forgive me? And Marc already in tears, touched by all his father had said, just nodded. But then...

Rorik? And the father just smiled as he caught on. I've apologized to him too, and you could say we're in better terms. It was Marcus' turn to return the hug. John could only smile, clearly this was the best move he made so far.

Shhh... don't cry anymore. It can't be good for my grandchildren. Surely all ended well that day.
