In reply to: Desiree Uris 's message, ":All You'll Ever Need:" on 22:49:59 04/03/11 Sun

He remained passive as the kids bantered back and forth. He gave them about five, maybe six years before they were headed for for the preacherman for a wedding. It was obvious there was some puppy love, at least from the girl's end. And the way the boy regarded her wasn't lost on him either.

A wedding...shit. He'd never thought himself the type to take that walk. Marriage was for suburban couples that wanted the whole white picket fence, two kids and a dog deal. And then Sha came around. The little bombshell had taken him hook, line, and sinker before long. And he'd sure as hell dropped to his knee.

He hadn't gotten to be married long, but he had loved every second of that time with his wife. She'd been the one thing in his life he could say he was proud of, havin a woman like her love a guy like him. And becoming a father? Shit, when she'd announced it, he'd been thrilled.

But he hadn't been worth shit as a father, nor a husband. He'd proved that the day he'd walked out of their lives. He figured it was in his blood. God knows his old man hasn't one any husaband or father of the year awards. Naw, he was too prone to using his fists. Til his kid outgrew him, anyway. At leas the was never like that.

The introduction caused every alarm to sound in his head. Anyone who'd ever known him could testify that it was damn near impossible to take him off his game, but the words the kid had spoken damn near had him on his ass. He thought for a moment he'd heard the guy wrong, but dismissed the idea. It made perfect sense that the kids standing here would be his own son and Stan's daughter. It explained the strangely familier feeling that had been fucking with him since the kids showed up.

Holy hot fuck, now what was he going to do? His heart was racing. He'd envisioned what it would be like to meet his kid again, but now that the oppertunity had presented itself far ahead of schedule, he was shaken. He hadn't known what to expect when it came to what his son would be like, but had always hoped the kid would stray from his fathers footsteps. Seemed the kid had done good for himself.

Never the type to turn tail, he reached a slightly shaken hand up and removed the sunglasses from the bridge of his nose, his dark eyes locking immediately with the kids. He heard the girl ask to drive his car, and in any other circumstance would have been amused. But her words seemed distant as his dark eyes locked with the young man's...his son.

"Elden." He says after a moment, and grasps the kids hand. "I got a feeling it's gonna be more my pleasure, than yours, this meeting." He nodded as if to hit that point home. "I wanted this to come later, and somewhere private. I've thought about this day a lot." Ahh fuck, he was beating around the bush. "Elden, my name's Sphinx. I'm your old man." He refused to use the word father. He had not earned that title.
