Message read with a little smile tbh

Text: Parenting isn't about arguments that make sense or coming to logical conclusions. Its about what you feel for the situation and what your gut tells you -- there is no right or wrong answer, I assure you. If you do not feel as though it is safe to do something, then it isn't. End of story.

---- twenty minutes later because he's literally staring at this text at a loss for words and kind of like fucking hell dad ----

[text] Thanks for that. 

[aashton-val]

Text: I would think that was a solid argument, Ashton.

[text] The arguments against it make more sense. 

[aashton-val]

Text: Whatever might has happened between you two is up to you both to fix and I am sure its nothing that cannot be mended with a few words. Text: I would like to hear your concerns -- I wont scoff if they aren't logical because being a parent is to be irrational about the things that worry us; trust me Text: Excellent.

[text] Just not really comfortable with the idea of having vampires or hybrids looking after my son that I don't know.

[aashton-val]

Text: Out of all of us, your sister is the one that desires the family to be as it was and for the majority of us to get along. You should give her more credit, son. It will be completely okay. Text: A human is extremely easy to kill. Would you be against myself installing a security system in your home for when you are not there?

[text] Can't believe I'm texting this, but yeah, you're right. I'll work on that, don't think I've been treating her the way I should be. [text] ...I know but...[text] I don't really have a good argument. [text] Yeah, that'd be fine I guess. Thanks. 

[aashton-val]

Text: None of us do. Why are you worried about that in regards to your -- Bobby? I'm merely curious. Text: Perhaps there is a supernatural creature which you could compel to look after him -- just in case..

[text] It's not a big deal I just don't want past shit to come up at dinner. But I don't think she'd really do that now that I think about it. [text] ...I don't know about that. 

[aashton-val]

Text: Your sister and her partner should be their as well, so you will not have to face your horrid father and the silver wear alone. Text: Yes, I know about that -- he was trapped with Anika and myself. Pass along my deepest sympathies. If she cannot make it, bring Abel.

[text] No I got that, but Eliza kinda has a tendency to just-- she's got no filter??? Bobby already knows this it'll be fine. [text] I'll probably bring him anyways, think the nanny got killed in the storm.

[aashton-val]

Text: Yes, yourself and your girlfriend. I would like to meet her and us having dinner is past overdue.

[text] With Eliza there too? ---- 20 minutes later ----[text] Yeah, alright. I'll see if she's up for it. Her best friend died in the hurricane, she's not doing so well right now.
