I asked as I sat on the couch, moin brought out some tea and handed us the mugs, we thanked her and she sat down.

I sighed in frustration, letting Michaelangelo stroke my back slowly.
“So who’s this? Your protector?”
She asked, I shook my head and felt the heat come into my face.
“No, um he’s actually my mate.”
I looked away quickly as her hand flew up to her mouth and she set her cup of tea down.
“But I thought Jack was your mate.
I let my head hang low as I answered.
“I thought so too.
Mom’s face contorted into a mask of confusion.
“I’m not following what do you mean?”
I took a deep breath and looked down to the coffee table that held my steaming cup of tea before I began to speak,
“I left with Michaelangelo, we’re here to talk with daddy.”
finished my story and mom looked close to tears as she looked between Michaelangelo and L
“I’ll go take these to the kitchen.”
She finally spoor as she stood up, took our mugs and walked into the kitchen.
“Jeez, it’s cold out there. Alice! Baby are you home?”
I heard my father’s voice call from the front room. I stood up with Michaelangelo’s hand there for support as I heard his footsteps round the corner. “Dad”
I breathed and waited in anticipation for a few moments,
I thought he was going to yell at me, ask me where I had been and why I didn’t talk to him.
Yet he ran to me and hugged me close to him, as if he’d never hold me once in his life,
He reeked of cigar smoke and wood, it was good to be home.
“It’s good to have you here Rosie.”
Dad smiled as he pulled out of the hug, I smiled back.
“It’s good to be back, dad.”
1 grinned as he sat down in his chair and mom came out of the living room with more mugs.
“Hello dear.”
She smiled and gave him a quick idss.
“How was your trip?”
She asked.
“Better now that I’m home.”
He smiled at her before taking a seat next to her on the couch,
“Now, we need to talk about what’s going on.”
Mom looked to me apologetically before nodding to me encouragingly.
I spoke to my father about everything that had happened since I met Jack, up to the day before I came home.
That’s where Michaelangelo found me, he drove all this way for…for-”
I stopped and looked back to Michaelangelo.
