[M] Unexpected Deadly Romance (Me and NoviDome)

[NoviDome]

Julian smiled a little, wiping her cheeks with his thumbs. "I don't like it either, baby. I'll try not to be so sad."

[Sparkz]

She nodded. "Okay Daddy. I try to not be sad too."

[NoviDome]

He nodded and kissed her forehead. "I love you. And so does mommy."

[Sparkz]

She hugged him again. "I love you too Daddy. Mommy too!"

[NoviDome]

He smiled and stroked her back, when they heard Tommy crying. Julian's smile faded and he helped Lily down from the counter before going into the bedroom. Tommy was softly sniffling in bed, fidgeting with his bandages again. Julian bit his lips and went over to him, gently taking his hands.
"Hey, buddy... What's on your mind?" Tommy looked up at him, and let him hold his hands.
"My head hurts, daddy... a-and I want to go home, and I..." He started crying harder. Julian gently pulled him closer so his head was in his lap. He stroked Tommy's hair.

Lily followed the sound of Tommy crying and immediately hopped on the bed to be next to him. She sat next to her crying brother and frowned. She hated seeing Tommy so sad and he has been sad for so very long. "Hey.... Remember? You're a pirate! That's cool!" She said with a smile. "And we all love you. Right?'

[NoviDome]

Julian smiled a little. "That's right, Tommy."
"B-But I don't WANT to be a pirate right now!" Tommy sobbed, clutching his father's hands. "I want to be normal me! I want my eye back!" When he finally got that out of his mouth, he buried his face in his father's leg and cried his little lungs out, sobbing heavily. Julian bit his lips and stroked his back.

[Sparkz]

Lily's lower lip trembled as she started to cry as well. She hated seeing Tommy so upset. She laid down next to him and hugged him as they both cry though Tommy was crying the hardest.

[NoviDome]

Julian stroked her hair as well, just letting them cry for a little while. Tommy held Lily's hand tightly, sniffling whenever his sobs would give him a break. After a little while, he calmed down a little bit. Julian wiped his own tears, taking a deep breath.
"I'm sorry Tommy," he murmured. He gently lifted him up and cradled him in his arms, rocking him gently. "I know... it sucks. All of it. If I could magically give you your eye back, I would do it in a heartbeat." He kissed the sobbing boy's forehead, holding him close. "Cry all you want. I understand."

[Sparkz]

Lily nuzzled her face into Julian's leg as she cried. She held Tommy's hand tightly as he held onto hers. She didn't want to let go of her brother. She eventually calmed down as well and curled up against her father as he held Tommy and rocked him.
It was then that Alicia returned with groceries for dinner. She heard Tommy and Lily sniffling in the bedroom so she set all the food down and peaked into the room. "Hey kids..." She called softly. She then sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed their backs. "I bought food to make tacos..."
