Post by Naveen on Jan 10, 2016 16:23:11 GMT
Naveen had moved to then nightstand, searching for more drugs when he found a small vial in the back that Aurora must not have known about. He held it in his grasp, not even registering that Nita was still there. His heart pounded as he stared down at it, his body craving the pills that were inside when suddenly, he heard her voice. Naveen was pulled out of his thoughts and he slowly glanced over at her. He had just promised her that he would stop...he would stop ruining his life trying to get her back but gods it was so hard to let go. But when he noticed the tears in her eyes, all of that faded. She was finally getting what she had wanted..what she had lost so many of. She didn't need to lose him too. He sighed and put the bottle back in the drawer and made his way over to her, kneeling beside the bed. His hands shook a little as he slowly reached out and put them against her stomach. Inside, he could feel the babies moving and then suddenly, one of them kicked his hand. He pulled back and let out a small, sad laugh. "You're finally going to get what you want...the children you've always wanted..." Naveen kept one hand on her stomach as he looked down, trying to hide the tears that were starting to form in his eyes. He gently took her hand, tracing his thumb over her skin. "I want to be around for them...and for you. As long as I still get to see you, I can keep living. With you gone...I was going insane. Every bad habit I've ever had just took over me and..I almost killed myself on several occasions because I couldn't deal with you being gone. But even if it's weeks apart that I see you, or months, I'll know that you're still with me. And these children...I want to see them grow up. I'm going to keep living for you and for them..I've cut it too close over the past few months and I was only thinking about myself..not what it would do to you or Eric, hell, maybe even Aurora. but I've come to my sense because of you and I can't thank you enough." Naveen looked up at her, a tear sliding down his cheek as he leaned up and pressed a tender kiss against her lips.

Nita watched as Naveen moved to kneel in front of her, and smiled when his hand moved forward to feel her stomach. Her expression softened as he kept one hand there, while moving to hold one of hers. She listened to his words knowing that he was telling the truth and feeling even worse. "I promise you'll get to know these children Naveen, and I'll visit you more often." She said quietly, a part of her knew Nero would not be pleased with her visiting Naveen more frequently but she was determined. Naveen had been hurt so badly because of her and she wanted to at least try and make up for all the hurt she had caused him. When he leaned up to kiss her, she slid her other hand through his hair and eagerly kissed him back. For a moment she could almost pretend that she and Naveen were back together and she was pregnant with his children. She pulled back slowly, "I love you Naveen." She whispered against his lips before she kissed him again.

Naveen moved up a little as they kissed, slipping his arms around her waist. "I love you too.." He whispered against her lips before he pulled back and stood up. "I should really go apologize to Eric and Aurora..do you..do you want to stay for lunch? I'm sure they'd love to see you. Maybe I can even get Aurora to bring Chel. I haven't seen her for...gods I don't even know how long." He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. Naveen had spent so much time alone that he shut everyone out, even his own daughter. They had sent her away to keep her safe but he wondered if it had been a good idea. He hadn't even spoken to Aurora about her but he assumed she was still staying with her safe and sound.

Nita felt a small smile reach her at Naveen's words, she would have thought he'd hate the very sight of her. As he pulled away, she sighed and glanced down at her stomach. "Oh I'd like that." She said quietly, it had been awhile since she had gotten to talk to Eric and Aurora and she had missed their company. As he brought up Chel she froze, not entirely sure how to explain everything with her. "Chel is staying with me right now, it's a long story but um she's fine. Nero won't hurt her, I've made sure of that I promise. In fact those two are always pushing each other's buttons." She admitted with a little laugh. Seeing Naveen's worried expression, she pushed herself off of the bed to join him. "Chel's the one who insisted on staying with us, I think she could see how lonely I was. It has been nice having her around, but I know she misses you." Nita carefully admitted, not entirely sure how Naveen would take the news.

Naveen blinked at her words, staring blankly in her direction. Chel wasn't with Aurora? Why hadn't she told him? Worry instantly flooded him and he took a step back. "She's...with you..and him..not Aurora?" The words kept falling off his tongue until he bit down to stop stuttering. When she moved closer to him, he flinched away. If she was with Nero, he must know that Chel was his daughter now. That was the very thing that they had sent her away for and now Nita was acting like it didn't matter. After a moment, he held up his hands and his gaze darkened. "Hang on..how did she end up staying with you? She was supposed to be kept secret. Did he find her? Did he hurt her? Aurora!!" Naveen spun around, not even caring that Nita was being left alone as he left to go downstairs. "Aurora! What the hell, why didn't you tell me my daughter was missing? Did you know she was staying with Nita!? Where she's been?" He slammed the door open to the kitchen, his eyes blazing. If Nero had Chel, gods know what could happen. He may not be using her now but in time, he will..Naveen knew that much.

Nita bit down on her bottom lip when he flinched away from her and she stepped away from him, "Naveen wait!" She shouted as he took off running towards the kitchen. She followed after him, having a little trouble no thanks to being pregnant and by the time she had reached the kitchen Aurora was facing Naveen looking annoyed. "She wrote me a note telling me that she needed some space, she didn't tell me specifics and I didn't ask...how long has she been staying with you?" Aurora asked Nita once she had entered the kitchen. "And for your information Naveen I did tell you, but you were so deep in drugs you just blew me off." Aurora added with a small frown. Nita let out a sigh, "A few weeks now, she told me she was going to tell you Aurora. I should have just told you I am so sorry." She said quietly. All the progress she had made with Naveen earlier now seemed to have dissolved due to the change of events, "Naveen I'm sorry, if you want I can have her stay here with you and Eric. Nero won't hold her prisoner I can promise you that, in fact he didn't even want her to stay." She admitted keeping her head down. Seeing Naveen so worried was affecting the children and she was having a hard time staying upright as her stomach began throbbing with pain. "I can summon her here if you want Naveen." Aurora said quietly as she glanced at Nita before meeting Naveen's eyes.

Naveen growled at Aurora's words, his brain not wanting to comprehend what she was saying. "You never...I would have remembered.." He lowered his gaze, suddenly realizing that she must have been right. His memory was pretty shot from all of the drugs and the last clear thing he could remember was when Nita first showed up pregnant and his fight with Eric. That had to be at least a month or so ago..he wasn't sure. Though when Nita mentioned how long it's been, his eyes widened and he ran a hand over his face. Just the very idea of Chel being in the same room as him made him feel sick and it had been happening without him even knowing about it. He noticed how Nita was suddenly having trouble and he sighed, rushing to grab a chair from the dining room for her to sit in. After he sat her down, he lightly ran a hand over her arm before he pulled back. "No..you're getting too weak, especially with twins...she can help. But I don't approve of it. I'm only allowing it for you." Naveen gave her a very serious look, his eyes still sparking with bits of orange. "But I want to see her. I owe her an apology...I owe all of you one." He turned to Aurora, letting her know that he wanted to see her now. Any time he had seen Chel, he wasn't the best father in the world. She had seen him drunk, she'd seen him with his whores...he was just glad she never saw him nearly overdose. He had lost his temper with her and she didn't even say anything to him..he's been a terrible father. Nita had disappeared from all of their lives and he only thought about dealing with it in a way that would please him...not everyone.

Nita lowered her gaze as Naveen helped her to sit down, she knew she should have told him and now that he was basically scolding her she felt even worse. Aurora nodded, "All right then." She said and muttered an incantation. A few moments later Chel appeared in a plume of purple smoke. She waved her hand around her to help dissipate the smoke and then froze when she saw Naveen. For a long time she didn't say anything, just stared at him as if unsure what kind of a mood her father was in. Finally she let out a sigh, "Well I sure hope you're sober, I can't begin to tell you how upset I am. Four months I've been gone, and every single time I came by to see you all you ever did was verbally attack me! Not to mention all the whores you had with you...And every single goddamn time I even so much as asked where Aunt Nita was all you ever did was blow up at me! I thought I did something wrong! Why else would you send me away without telling me why? You probably didn't even know that I'd left Aurora's place, or that grandpa was going to use me to protect Aunt Nita. Of course if it hadn't been for her, I'd probably be his little fucking slave!" Chel shouted with tears in her eyes. "But what kills me is that you never trusted me with the truth! If I had known that your dad had some kind of vendetta against you, I would have been more careful! I would have been a little more prepared...and I wouldn't have felt like I was being kicked out. I love you dad but I am not a kid anymore, I deserve to be told the truth and not get punished for having legitimate concerns." She stated as she kept her gaze on Naveen.

Naveen immediately tensed when Chel appeared, the look on her face causing guilt to flood every fiber of his being. Just as he was about to take a step towards her, she suddenly exploded at him and he shrank back. Everything she said was true and he knew it, but each word stabbed into his heart. His shoulders slumped in defeat and he ran a hand through his hair. "I'm so sorry Chel..I never should have treated you that way, no matter how screwed up I was. I should have been thinking about you and Nita..and everyone else but instead, I just thought about myself. You mean the world to me and-" His words suddenly cut off as he registered the last thing she had said and he held up his hand. Nero planned on using her? "Wait, back up. He did what? And you're calling him grandpa?" He looked over at Nita, his eyes wide in surprise. "That man is not my father and he most certainly is not your grandfather. He is a monster. What the hell happened? What did he do to you?" Naveen narrowed his eyes at Chel before he stepped forward, his eyes already blazing again. It seemed like every time he was close to coming down and returning to reality, something got in his way and he was sent spiraling back. The more upset he got, the more his body craved the drugs and the alcohol. If he kept this up, he'd have another attack even after Nita had helped ease his side effects but the blood was pumping through him too fast. His hands shook at his sides and he grabbed hold of the table to keep his balance.

Chel raised an eyebrow at Naveen as he suddenly got angry at her again. "Well what else am I supposed to call him? Nero? Besides I like calling him gramps, he always gets this-" She broke off when she saw how genuinely upset Naveen was. "Look I don't know what kind of shit he pulled with you, but he hasn't been all that bad towards me. Although he was kind of a dick to me when we first met, but he didn't know who I was then." She sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "Like I said, I don't know what he's done to you. How could I? I didn't even know he existed until well he got the drop on me. And since you asked earlier, Nero had been following me for some time and thought that I was a dragon. Which wasn't all that far off, and then he kidnapped me. Long story short, the binding spell that he was going to use backfired when Aunt Nita heard me. Of course I did kind of lose control and attack her...but as you can clearly see she's fine and so am I. Nero even apologized later for kidnapping me...and I could tell he was being sincere." She added quietly.

Naveen bit down on his lip as she explained what happened and he felt the attack coming much sooner than he thought. Nero had kidnapped her, tried to make her his slave and it all ended up getting Nita hurt again. It didn't matter that Nero apologized, he still caused all of that damage. "It doesn't matter that he apologized Chel, he still.." Naveen grit his teeth as he felt a wave of pain wash over him and he leaned against the table. His blood felt like it was boiling beneath his skin and his grip tightened until his knuckles turned white. His anger was only pushing him towards his addiction again but he couldn't give in. He had promised. Naveen took a deep breath and focused his thoughts on Nita and how they used to be before Nero showed up. He imagine a life he could have had with her and his body slowly calmed down. A part of him was grateful that he could push it away with memories instead of drugs...he should have figured that out sooner. "Okay..okay, it doesn't matter. I'll let it go. Just..be careful. And take care of her. I'm going to check in with you every week...and you can tell me all about what's going on..anything you want to talk about." He straightened and ran a hand through his hair. "I'm done being with the alcohol and the screwing around..I can't do it anymore, for everyone's sake. I need to be a better person..a better father. And I'm sorry that I lost sight of all of that." He sighed as the pain completely vanished and he released his hold on the table.

Chel tensed when she saw her dad firmly grip the table. It was clear he was in pain and she noticed that everyone else watched him with just as much concern. She only relaxed when he seemed to get a hold of himself, at his words she nodded. "I'm always careful, and don't worry I'll keep in touch and keep protecting Aunt Nita. And apology accepted, just don't do that again...for everyone's sake. I've missed you, and I've missed spending time with you." She admitted with a small frown. Chel lightly placed a hand on his shoulder, almost hesitantly as she stared at him. "But most of all I love you dad, and I always will." She added gently. Nita gave them both a warm smile as she wiped at her eyes which were a little teary.

Naveen smiled gently at her and moved forward, wrapping his arms around her. "I love you Chel..thank you for understanding." He pulled back slightly and brought his hand up, his thumb lightly brushing a tear off of her cheek. After a moment, he let go of her and moved around the room, giving everyone hugs. It wasn't like him to show affection like this but he had screwed them all over so much over the past months and they deserved to be treated the right way. "Stay for lunch with us and we can talk about everything that's been going on with you lately. Anything I missed. I want to know everything." Naveen grinned and looked over at Chel, lightly tracing his hand down her arm, trying to get her to stay.

Chel smiled as Naveen pulled her in for a hug, her arms easily sliding around to hug him back. "Of course dad." She said quietly and watched as he hugged everyone. It wasn't like him to be affectionate like that but after everything she could understand it. "I'd like to stay for lunch, I haven't eaten yet anyway and I'm sure Aunt Nita can manage without me for a little while." She said as she saw her aunt nodding in agreement. After that they all had a light soup, as Naveen still needed to be careful with what he ate. After lunch they stayed and talked for awhile, and for the first time in a long time it felt like a family. However Nita had to leave as did Aurora and the two left, leaving Eric, Naveen, and Chel to clean up. When the dishes were cleared away, Chel finally managed to sit down alone with her dad in Eric's private library. "So what did you want to talk about?" She asked as she sat down across from him.

Naveen had taken Chel to Eric's library so they could catch up. He had missed so much over the last four months, he wanted to know everything. It was still unusual having a daughter but a part of him enjoyed it. He finally had someone to share a life with, even if he couldn't have Nita. Naveen took her hand and led her to the chairs before letting her sit down before him. "I want to know everything you've been up to. Ever since I...became distant. Again..I'm sorry I did. You deserve a better father..." He sighed and leaned forward on his elbows, running a hand through his hair.
