Old Habits Die Hard - Fall 2010

"You already know what you have to do so we can be a family," I explained, getting into protective mother mdoe again.  "But you will never change.  You need to levae.  Now." I was not going to let Bastian get his hands on Tommy and get him to go to the dark side.

I got close to Morgan's face -- any of hte sexual tension and wants were gone. "I will get him.  You can run, but you will never be safe" I threatened.  I knew that she always thought she would be safe while on the run.  I never lost track of them.  I smiled darkly at her and I left.  I knew she would move again, but I was always watching.  I could take Tommy by force, but I wanted the boy to trust me.

I was able to breathe again once SEbastian was gone.  I waved my wand and opened Tommy's bedroom door.  "Hey little man... look at that!  You got a lot done in here!" I said, trying not to show how shaken I was after Bastian's visit.

I nodded and smiled slightly.  "Who was that man?" I questioned, walking into the living room.  I aanted to see if there was any clue as to who he was.  I mean, I heard him say that I was his son, but could I believe a stranger with no name or face?

I followed Tommy and sat down, motioning him to join me on the couch.  When he sat next to me, I put an arm around his shoulders.  "Honey, that was a dangerous man," I told him honestly.  I had no idea how else to explain to him without frightening my son.  He did not deserve to have to deal with the sings of his heritage.

I looked at Mum.  "Is it true?  I heard him say that I was his son..." I said  I always had ideas of what my dad could be -- dangerous was never an option.  It worried me.

I sighed. I had hoped that he had not heard that.  But I was not going to lie to Tommy.  "It is true... that man was your father.  But he could never be your dad.  He's dangerous... I'm sorry, Tommy," I said gently.

I took a deep breath.  "If he's dangerous... I dn't want him to be in my life anyways," I said, fighting back tears.  I hated that the person I always wanted to be awesome... definitely turned out to be the opposite.  Mum would not lie to me.

I pulled Tommy close and kissed hi forehead.  I hated this.  "I am so sorry sweetie," I said to him.  I have tried to protect him as much as any mother could from dangers... but it as extremely difficult when it was his father I was protecting him from.
