McKensie and Lara
Torch went right to pacing when they got back. "Yeah. I remember." He whispered, and shook his head. "I dont hate him." He walked upstairs and into their bedroom, flopping on the bed. He was too angry to cry, and too sad to be really angry, so he just felt sheer exhaustion.Lexi nodded slowly, hugging him. She was grateful to how well he could calm her. She bit her lip. "I think having James in the hospital and Mae nearly dying just was too much for him." She whispered. "Even the strongest people snap eventually."
Mae swallowed putting her head in her hands, it was 3:00 in the morning and she wasn't at all tired...she didn't know how to handle all of this emotion so she poured herself a glass of wine to deal with it.Damon sighed and nodded "he didn't have to say such horrible things about you or our daughter though...I will always be on your side...I never thought things could ever get this far..."
Torch knew he wasnt sleeping anytime soon, and he didnt expect to. He just lay there, staring rather blankly, his eyes dull.Lexi bit her lip and nodded slowly. "Im sorry that they did. But I really dont mind... about what he said..." she said softly. This was mainly because she thought he was just stating the truth.
James was tired of the hospital so with London's held they flew back home with his wheelchair. They landed in the kitchen. James frowned seeing his mom drink she never did! "Mommy?"Mae looked up and gasped taking the twins in her arms and held tight "Alex! The twins are here!" They certaintly boosted her spirits!
Damon frowned "don't you ever believe any of that garbage! It's not true, you are the best thing for that wife of his! He just blames all of his problems on someone else! Especially if they are different!"
Torch shifted a little and sat up, rubbing the back of his neck. Then he walked downstairs, "hey kiddos." He said, hugging London who had run to her father. He looked at Mae and visiblu flinched when he saw the wine glass.Lexi sighed and closed her eyes, leaning into him. "Thank you." She whispered. She was trying desperately to believe his words.
Mae avoided his look and held James close to her stroking back his hair. James smiled loving the comfort of his mom's lap and yawned "it's early...or late?"Damon smiled and kissed her "I love you my beautiful girl...no matter what form you take..."
Torch smiled a little. "Early, very very early. You two should head up to bed." He said gently, lifting London into his arms. She leaned her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes and yawning. Torch carried her to bed and tucked her in. Lexi smiled in pure joy at him, biting her lip. She loved how he could make her feel like nothing in the world could get her down. "I want to give you something." She said softly. "Pull out your wings."
Mae pulled the wheelchair up the stairs and held onto James with her other arm and tucked him in and kissed his forehead. She went over to London and kissed her cheek "night honey..."Damon pulled out his wings and watched her curiously "you don't have to give me anything!"
London smiled, opening one eye sleepily. "Night Mom." She whispered, closing her eyes again. Torch smiled gently at them, and then flipped the light off. "Goodnight kids. Sleep well." He whispered. He shut the blinds so that they would be able to sleep. Then he left their room and went back into his bedroom, sighing softly.
Lexi smiled, somewhat mischievous. "Yes I do. It is my fault you're in this weak form anyways." She said, and her form wavered, her wings and eyes and ears changing. She smiled at him. "Hold on." She ran her fingers over his wings and their feathers fell away, revealing his former, larger, demon wings. Then she pulled back, smiling at him. "You're a demon again."
Mae looked at him shocked, he didn't even want to talk? She sighed when the door slammed and she went back to the table and had a glass of wine before falling asleep on the couch.Damon grinned he could feel the power surging through him again, he felt like himself again! He hugged her tightly "oh my...thank you Lex! You just gave me the best gift anyone could!"
Torch let himself fall on the bed weakly and curl up, hugging his knees to his chest. Instead of having thoughts and emotions flying through his head, he just felt... empty. Lexi laughed and hugged him back. "Well I'm glad of that. I guess I'll have to watch out when we wrestle now." She teased, shaking her head. Her form wavered, and then she looked human again. "I do believe we were in the middle of something, before Torch came in with the kids..." She said, smiling roguishly at him.
Mae tossed and turned on the couch, she grabbed the bottle and finished it off. She never wanted to drink like this...she felt miserable and empty. She finally allowed herself to cry.Damon grinned happily and pounced her on the bed "careful...I'm not an angel anymore!"
Torch only had one debate happening in his mind, whether or not he should go down and see how Mae was doing. He winced. She probably didn't like him very much right now. He felt too badly to see her right now. He figured she would just push him away anyways. So, feeling miserable, he closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep. Lexi laughed, her eyes lighting up. She looked up at him, one of her hands reaching up to play with his ear and hair. "Do I even look like an angel to you? I am totally up for anything you throw at me." She said, smiling, before reaching up and kissing him and then lying back again.
((Can you start I'll be right back!))
Torch slept fitfully through the rest of the morning, shifting and tossing and turning on his bed. When he did wake up, he was half delirious with anxiety and sorrow, so he slowly walked to his study and sat down on the floor. He opened his safe and let the phoenix fly out. "Hey bud." He said softly to the large bird as it perched on his arm. Lexi had forgotten to shift back into her human form during all the excitement last night, so she lay now with her large wings folded and limp behind her back, and the point on her ear prominent as her hair was off her face and splayed out on the pillow. She was pressed up against Damon, one of her hands resting on his chest.
Mae slowly sat up and rubbed her head, what a headache...she made her way up the stairs and went to the bedroom "Torch..I..." But he wasn't there, she started to make the bed and put the pillows back. Damon slowly woke up "what a nightmare..." He mumbled and rolled over seeing Lexi in her true form, he realized that it wasn't nightmare. Torch and him weren't friends anymore...
Torch sighed, stroking the bird's flaming feathers. It calmed him somehow, giving him a sense of peace that he had formerly lost. He put the bird back in its cage and walked out of his study, locking it as always, so none of the kids could get in. Lexi's eyes blinked open when he mumbled something and her face scrunched in worry. She reached up a hand to caress his cheek. "Are you alright?" She asked softly.
Mae looked up and saw him in the doorway "hi...did you...sleep ok?" She asked quietly staring at her lap. She felt like not only did Torch and Damon break up...but they were on the edge as well...Damon nuzzled her hand and sighed nodding "I thought last night was just a nightmare..." He muttered quietly and snuggled closer to her "We can't tell Demetri not to play with the twins and I don't want to force you from being with Mae..."
Torch nodded and smiled a little, but it was brief. "I suppose." He said softly. There was a small flicker of pain in his eyes, but it was gone quickly. "Did you?" He asked, looking up at her hesitantly, before looking down again. Lexi bit her lip. "I hate to see you like this." She whispered, cuddling her face against him again. "Can't you and Torch just talk?" She asked softly, as if she was afraid of suggesting it.
Mae shook her head "no...and alcohol doesn't help the pain..." She looked up at him "Torch I don't even recognize you...can't you and Damon talk?..."Damon sighed and kissed her temple "I don't know..." He said honestly, he knew it would be an intense game of 'say uncle' "he said a lot of things that I can't forgive..."
Torch bit his lip and looked down. "Im sorry. Mae... please dont drink." He begged, his voice soft, hesitant almost. Then he shook his head slowly. "I cant Mae." He whispered. "Even if I wanted to. Damon made itclear he didnt want me back. Im sorry." He looked up at her briefly again, before looking down again.Lexi bit her lip, shaking her head."But I have forgiven him! Really! I understand why he said it. I really do. Put yourself in his shoes for a moment." She urged, shaking her head a little.
Mae frowned and held him close and rested her head on his chest. "He was just upset...your tempers were fueled with more fire...you know you love eachother...put yourself in his shoes, what if he said the things you said to Lexi to me?"Damon sighed and nodded somberly "but...I just can't fly over..." His pride wouldn't allow him to be the one to let up first, just like the contests in the swimming pool so long ago...
Torch wrapped his arms around her, sighing softly. "But...." he couldnt continue because he couldnt find anything else to argue about. "Alright. Ill be right back." He whispered, kissing her head. He flew to Damon's house and knocked on the door hesitantly. Lexi smiled, kissing his cheek. "Sounds like you wont have to worry about that." She whispered, and motioned towards the sound of knocking.
Mae smiled proud of her Torch and went to check on the twins who were still sound asleep. She fed Zach and heated up microwave waffles and enjoyed her book. Finally, a good morning.Damon blinked, could that really be him? He pulled his shorts on and searched for his shirt till he realized Lexi was wearing it, he chuckled with an eyebrow raise "think that's mine..."
Torch shifted nervously outside the door, about to start gnawing on his nails. He waited for what seemed like hours for the door to be answered.Lexi laughed. "Oh really?" She countered. "Are you saying you want me to take it off?" She teased, pulling the shirt over her head an handing it to him.
Damon grinned and admired her top to bottom before pulling on his shirt and heading downstairs. He took a deep breath before slowly opening the door "oh...hey"
Torch very nearly jumped when Damon ooened the door he was so on edge. "Hey." He said softly, fidgeting. This wasnt easy... "im sorry... for what I said." He said softly.
Damon looked at how nervous was and somehow that calmed him down "yeah...me too, Lexi forgives you for what you said...I guess I should too...your still my best mate."
Torch felt himself warming again, waking up. He couldnt keep back a grin. "Well that settles that then. I better go home and tell Mae." He grinned. "Thanks for not killing me." He joked. "I really didnt want to freeze..."
Damon chuckled and hugged him tightly "wait I have to show you what Lex did for me!" He spread his glorious black leathery wings out "no more sissy angel!"
Torch hugged him back and then beamed. "Thats amazing! Im so happy for you." He said, smiling. "But how did she manage that? She would have to be stronger than the powers of hell to ovveride it like that." He said, joking.
Damon chuckled "her um planet is a lot more advanced...I'm still learning about all she is and all Taylor is...but I find her more attractive now and I'm more open minded...are you and Mar ok?"
Torch shook his head. "Well being powerful like you are really helps in this situation I suppose." He teased elbowing him.
Damon grinned "we fought like school boys...I could never hate you, or freeze you...I'd lose a part of me! You didn't answer my question about you and Mae?"
Torch smiled, the tension releasing from his shoulders. "Thank goodness for that. You know I feel the same." He said, shifting. Then he grimaced. "Im going to have to mend thingd with Mae. She was drinking last night abd I well... I wasnt myself."
Damon frowned worriedly "I didn't think she drinked?...geez I'm sorry mate, better head back and make things right! We are always here to help, even babysit!" He offered
Torch sighed and shook his head. "She doesnt drink. Well. She hasnt yet." He raked a hand through his hair. "Its fine. I just have some apologies to get through I suppose." He said, shaking his head. "Ill see you later I guess." He smiled and took off, flying back to Mae. "Babe?" He called into the house. "I want to talk..."
Damon headed back to Lexi pouncing on her in sneak attack "hello lovely, have I mentioned lately that you are a goddess and I worship you!Mae looked up from her book "I'm in the dining room." She called back and sighed running a hand through her hair.
Lexi squeaked and tugged the sheets around her unclothed body when he pouced on her. Then she laughed, shoving him with one hand while still holding the sheets with the other. "You scared me!" She protested.Torch walked in and leaned his shoulder on the doorframe. "Mae... I owe you an apology for how I have been this past while." He said softly, his golden eyes watching her.
Damon chuckled "it's how I celebrate my happiness, and those sheets are getting in the way!" He teased starting to wrestle with her.Mae sighed not saying anything for awhile and the tears just came she nodded trying to let him know that she forgives him.
Lexi laughed and squeaked, trying to wrestle him onto his back, but he was overpowering her for the moment. She was forced to let go of the sheets to try and pry his hand off her wrist. She giggled. "I take it the talk went well?"Torch walked over in two quick strides and gathered her into his arms, holding her against him. He kissed her hair gently and closed his eyes, overwhelmed with joy.
Damon kissed her lips as he pinned both wrists above her head "very well! Things are back to normal...but apparently things are rocky with Mae."Mae held onto him and sighed leaning her face against his chest "I just want my Torch back...no more yelling, or cruelty and I won't drink ever again..."
Lexi smiled when he said very well, kissing him back eagerly, but when he said things were rocky with Mae, she frowned a little. "Im sure they'll be ok." She said softly, hoping so. Torch nodded, "im here." He promised. "No more yelling. And im holding you to no drinking." He agreed. He rubbed her arms gently.
Damon nodded "me too sugar!" He nuzzled her and smiled "I love you, Lexi Loo..." He whispered in her ear and nipped at her lobe.Mae smiled and nodding she stood up and jumped in his arms holding him close "this feels so much better!"
Lexi giggled again. "I like the pet names, ps, but arent they a little accessive?" She whispered, shivering when he nipped at her ear. It was even more torturous because she could not move her arms. Torch grinned and spun her around, showering her head and face in kisses. "Are we alright now, you and I?" He asked hopefully.

Torch grinned and spun her around, showering her head and face in kisses. "Are we alright now, you and I?" He asked hopefully.
Damon smiled "I thought I would be more romantic...I've never felt happier!" He let her wrists go and stroke her cheek "but I'll quit it if you want!"Mae giggled and pushed him away playfully "of course! I can never stay mad at you...time to wake up the twins or they won't sleep tonight."
Damon shook his head stroking her hair "you saved her life...and like you said earlier when can control Taylor's powers...you could never hurt anyone...you are still my angel..." He sighed shaking his head "I've never seen Torch like that..."
