Matheiu: I hope you're right.

Thomas: I do, too.

Matheiu: But... what about Kieran? I can't do that to him...

Thomas: Kieran does not believe in love. What you feel for Benny surely runs deeper than what he does. I'm sure he'll agree that your happiness is what's most important.

Matheiu: ...I really like him, Thomas.

Thomas: I don't doubt you, little brother. Nor do I doubt him. If he'll make you happy, then I'm hoping for the best.

Matheiu: Because I'm growing up.

Matheiu: It will happen eventually, why not with him?

Thomas: So have Kieran, Charles, and Kiera. That doesn't stop me from worrying.

Thomas: Because Kie [ unsent ]

Thomas: He's perfectly fine, Matheiu.

Matheiu: Vous ne devez pas.

Matheiu: ...What if I do not want him to?

Thomas: Why is that?

Thomas: ...Oh.

Thomas: I can't say I wanted to hear that.

Thomas: But if that's what you want, I wish you the best.

Thomas: I'm your big brother, Matheiu. It's my job to be paranoid.

Thomas: It is. Do you have clothes?

Matheiu: You have a baby, Thomas. I should be the least of your worries.

Mstheiu: I'll see if I can use some of his for now.

Thomas: I'll always worry about you. Regardless of whether I have a child or not.

Thomas: Alright.

Thomas: And tell him to keep his hands to himself.

Matheiu: Vous êtes paranoïaque , frère.

Matheiu: Everything is fine. I am just sleeping over at a friends house for a few days. Is that not normal of boys my age?

Thomas: I'm your big brother, Matheiu. It's my job to be paranoid.

Thomas: It is. Do you have clothes?

Thomas: Where are you, petit frère?

Matheiu: Ne vous inquiétez pas. I am with Benny.

Matheiu: I am going to stay here for a couple of days.

Thomas: Raconter moi de ne pas vous inquiétez ne me fait plus inquiète.

Thomas: Is everything alright?

Thomas: Where are you, petit frère?

[opheliadelacroix-blog]

No. Thank you for trusting me. I won’t let you down.

[thomasdelacroix-blog]

You never have. And you never would; not when it comes to something so pure as a child.

[rosaliechastain-blog]

( she smiles up at him, briefly pressing a kiss to his lips. ) You deserve the world, my love. You both do.

[thomasdelacroix-blog]

Thank you, my love.

And thank you for being accepting of this. Of her.

[opheliadelacroix-blog]

I will protect her with my life, dear brother.

[thomasdelacroix-blog]

Thank you.

[romilliachastain-blog]

You saved me for a reason, did you not?

And neither will X’Zavier. Let the past stay where it is.

[thomasdelacroix-blog]

You’re mistaken, darling. I saved you, not because of your talents, but because you were a child in a whorehouse. And there are some things that no man can allow.

I couldn’t agree more.

[rosaliechastain-blog]

She’s absolutely perfect.

( she presses a kiss to mariah’s forehead, smiling when the baby grasps her finger. she thought the news of thomas having a daughter would hurt her, but sitting in front of the fireplace in the living room, one hand on the back of her neck and one hand on mariah’s back while the baby smiles up at her, she can’t help but feel like this is a good thing. ) Welcome to the family, sweet girl. I’m glad you could make it.

[thomasdelacroix-blog]

I’ve been blessed to have many perfect things in my life.

( he slips a hand to the back of rosalie’s neck, pressing a gentle, loving kiss to her forehead. ) And I’m not deserving of any of them.

————– Oh, Tommy. I don’t know what to say ——–

               You have no idea how much this means to me. Thank you.

[thomasdelacroix-blog]

Say nothing, dear sister.

   Just promise me that you will take care of my daughter.

[romilliachastain-blog]

I’m very good at avoiding things, Thomas. You know that.

But it is my business, isn’t it? Just as my relationship with X’Zavier is yours. He has the potential to compromise your brother’s happiness. And her mother has the potential to compromise my sister’s.

[thomasdelacroix-blog]

Oh, you are certainly talented. No one can deny you that.

There is no reason to fear. My relationship with her mother was brief, and ended for good reason. I can assure you, she will never be a problem.

[rosaliechastain-blog]

————— Okay.

Oh, she’s so little. Hi, baby.

[thomasdelacroix-blog]

She’s tiny for her age. But healthy, nonetheless.

( he watches the two with a soft smile. being a father is strange, and something he didn’t quite prepare for. but it makes him happy, having a daughter. it’s not something he’d ever give up. )
