Silas ran a hand through Calla's silky brown hair and nodded "I'll ask Titan if he wants to come in, sure. I'll send him in with your plate." Silas said as he watched Calla run into the play room. He frowned and looked down at his stomach, trying to hold back the tears that seemed to come out of nowhere.
He failed this task, miserably, and he knew he wouldn't be able to go back outside with tears running down his face. He backed away from the door and went further into the kitchen, wrapping his arms around his chest as he tried calming his breathing and the tears. He was an idiot, for thinking that he could do this... He loved Sidney, wanted to have more kids - but at what expense? His daughter hating him for having them? Calla was, and likely always would be, his favorite - although he would never openly admit that to the other children - and they shared a bond that went beyond that of a father-and-daughter. They had things in common with each other that no one else in the family had, and this rift between them was tearing up his heart, and soul.
