{{Out of the night that covers me//black as the pit from pole to pole//I thank whatever gods may be//for my unconquerable soul.}} Dimitrie Gabor. 30. Romanian born. Single father.

mr--owen--harris:

“Listen, I’m almost done grading these papers. I just have one more to read through. Then we can talk, grab some food…whatever you want?”

“When does school let out for you? It has been so long since I was in school that I can hardly remember, and my son is not yet old enough to go to school. I was just thinking we could get ice cream -- it is already so very warm out.”

“You’ll stop me if it feels like I’m complaining about nothing right?” Dominique asked briefly. She didn’t want to be the girl who complained about her problems but she did appreciate Dimitrie for asking. “ It’ll be fine. I just have to remember to wait for my mother to not be around on Father’s Day when I visit my dad. It’s been four years and I clearly am doing alright with Anna and everything, but my mother still believes I’ve wasted my life by getting pregnant. It sounds like she’s insulting my daughter when she says that and I got mad. “Dominique replied running a hand through her hair. Her smile returned at how his mother’s day went with his son “That is really cute. Did she enjoy it?”

Dimitrie held up his right hand. “Scout’s honor,” he assured her. He frowned slightly as the woman spoke about her mother. “I can understand why you would feel that way,” he said. “I know I would be very upset if my mother said such things. Were the two of you close beforehand?” He smiled softly and nodded. “She did. She said that she is very lucky to have not one but two generations to celebrate with now.”

“You know that if you do not stay still i am going to mess up your painting” said Alex with pain all over him. 

“Oh, I am sorry. It is just that I was bitten by a mosquito earlier and it is horribly itchy. But I will be still now, I promise.”

“Chocolate it is.” Ben nodded and began making more pancakes. Robby was still patiently waiting for food to be done. Not saying a word but would occasionally watch the other two kids. “Robby you can go play with them.” Ben placed his hand on his son’s head but the boy just shook his head and rested his chin on the counter. “This is Sammy.” Amy held onto the orange cat to show her to Lucas. The cat just let herself be picked up by the little girl, purring ever so slightly. “Amy be nice to Sammy.”

Emil smiled as he watched the two children playing with the cat. Lucas put out his hand curiously and giggled when the cat licked his fingers with his rough little tongue. “Buna, Sammy,” Lucas said, greeting the cat in Romanian. Emil looked over at Benedict. “How long have you had her?” he asked, indicating the cat. “Lucas and I have a dog.”

“That’s cute though if you think about it.  I just think my daughter likes Iron Man because she thinks RDJ is really hot.  And I do have to say she does have good taste.”

“Oh, it is very cute. I think that is the reason that my son likes Natasha and Peggy. He says he likes Nat’s red hair.”

reinachavarria:

“You have a very excellent point. I think most are creeped out by spiders. One of my brothers has a tattoo of a spider on his arm and I refuse to even look at it cause even though it’s not real it creeps me out. Aw your little one must have a great heart then. I used to make my parents do the same things with insects we would find in the house when I was little. Youth is a time of kindness and innocence.”

“Spiders or cockroaches. People do not like the way they move, I think. So sudden and jittery. He is a very sweet little boy. I have been stung more times by bees or wasps in the past few years than I have before, just because he wants me to put them outside. He always tells me not to be angry with them, because it is not their fault and they are just afraid.”

[dimigabor]

benedict-lion:

Robby had already taken a seat at the counter waiting for the food to be done while Amy was trying to get a collar onto Sammy but the cat was not having it. “Not a problem. What would you like? Chocolate? Strawberry? Plain?”

Lucas peeped up at him. “Um, choc’late,” he said thoughtfully, and Emil nodded with a slight smile. “Chocolate would be delicious, thank you.” Lucas was distracted by the cat then and slipped off the stool, cooing at it.

But alas….who would want to date a single mother who didn’t have an easy life, and almost has a daughter who is a preteen?

Well, I am a single father with a son who is a toddler -- so I can ask a similar question. And people are split about the accent; some people like it, some are rather put off by it.

“I can’t believe it’s gone.” She mutters, pacing around outside a store.  She looked around to see and walked up to someone, tapping them on the shoulder. “Excuse me, could I borrow your phone?”

“Yes, of course,” Dimitrie assured her, handing over his phone. “Are you alright? Is there anything else that I can help you with?”

[dimigabor]

benedict-lion:

“I’m making pancakes for my kids, want some?”

Lucas looked up in interest at the mention of both pancakes and Benedict’s children, his brown eyes wide. Dimitrie chuckled. “We would love some, yes, thank you.”

domino-demoriane:

“Mother’s day did not go great at my parents. At least my daughter gave me a really cute card, so  it evens out” Dominique replied with a half smile

“Oh, I am sorry to hear that. Do you want to talk about it?” Emil offered her a slight smile in return. “Lucas just celebrates Mother’s Day with his grandmother. He made her a card, and he picked out a necklace from the both of us.”

“Bless the gods, The Fox Den is finally fully restocked. I thought it was going to take me till the end of month to get my hands on some of the top shelf liquor.”

“Oh, well, that is good! I am guessing you were closed after the storm? Did it really take so long to get everything up and running?”

[dimigabor]

reinachavarria:

“You would think by now that working in a hospital and dealing with the realities of life and death every day that I would be one tough cookie. But nope there I was standing up on a chair in the break room letting my colleague kill a spider for me. How have I managed to survive so long living on my own when I can’t even kill a spider? This is something the world may never know.”

“I believe a fear of spiders is one of the most common phobias out there, so I do not think it would be fair to equate being a functioning adult with not being afraid of spiders. They give me, no pun intended, the creepy-crawlies -- but I have had to stop killing them, because it upsets my three-year-old. He requests that I capture them and put them outside.”

“Oh I totally did plan on eating real food too. I just felt like having dessert first. I actually have some sandwiches right here. You’re welcome to have one if you want. They’re turkey and cheese.”

“Oh, good, good. My son and I do that when he is feeling unwell, actually. We usually save ice cream for a treat, but when he is not feeling his best, I usually bend the rules.”

      The kid was polite amongst other things, Kira noted, smiling as the boy turned to ask nicely if he could see the pictures she had taken. How could she say no to a face like that? And it was so with a wide grin and a nod of her head that she led them towards where her setup was, the large screen of the computer heavy on the desk and she pulled another chair over for them to sit.

     “There’s probably a couple hundred but I’ll be the first to admit that about seventy percent of them will be blurry or just straight up weird,” she laughed, plugging the SD card into the hard drive and waiting for it to boot up. It in a few seconds that she had the file pulled, clicking on one of the images to blow it up and pushed the keyboard over to Dimitrie, telling him he can browse as he pleased.

     “And, of course, if you’re not happy with them we can always set up another appointment and I’ll get what you want free of charge.”

Lucas squealed with pleasure as she acquiesced, and he gasped and giggled at the sight of himself on the computer screen as his father clicked through them. “That’s me!” he said, giggling. “That’s me there.” Emil chuckled and kissed the top of his head. “That is you,” he agreed. “Look how handsome you are.” 

He looked at the woman and shook his head. “No, no, we love them.”

nicolettttte:

Yes but see I was thinking more of the lines of, I can’t get into a relationship because I say some corny jokes.

Well, there are worse reasons not to be able to get into a relationship, I suppose. And Chandler did find his other half eventually.

“Alyvia’s favorite Marvel Character is Iron Man.  She can’t get enough of him.”

“Lucas likes Iron Man, too, but he has a special soft spot for Captain America, particularly his relationship with Bucky. He says that he and I are like them, because they’re best friends and so are we.”
