Welcome to Gaia! ::

Noah was caught off gaurd when he was forced to hold newborn baby Daphne. He held the tiny child in one arm while the bottle was in the other. Noah was just about to protest in indignation when he looked down at the little girl's tiny brown eyes that looked back at him. The fire that raged inside the boy caused the burning fuse on his short temper to extinguish. Noah's facial features softened as he held baby Daphne in his arms slowly brought the baby bottle up to her mouth. The ex-delinquent was filled a very strange and foreign emotion had never felt before. This must have been what they called, fatherly. Noah said nothing as he fed baby Daphne. He simply remained quiet and content.

Noah held baby Daphne a bit closer to his body as he she sucked from the baby bottle. Something about having her in his arms calmed him and help him feel serenity. Who knew why. Perhaps it was because of the name he gave the child also belonged to his mother. Or maybe it was because he made promise that he would always take care of his own children if he ever had any. Nevertheless, Noah vowed to keep Daphne safe from harm, even if it meant he had to pull the revolver from his pocket out. In his moment of meditative-like calmness, Noah was jerked awake by the sudden loudness of Finn who wanted to know if he could see the baby. The ex-thug then looked Jasmine for some kind of answer.

"Unfortunately, I'm not a very patient person. Haven't really been allowed that privilege in my life." For a moment, the ex-ruffian was quiet. Was this really the time to tell this happy family that he was someone that didn't belong. Absolutely no magical blood flowed through him. Why keep him? Probably just extra help to keep around the house. Noah stared blankly at Jasmine when suggested he go outside and play with both Kammy and Finn. "Play what?" He asked, looking down at the baby in his arms. The bottle he had been holding to her lips had finally run dry. Noah then looked to Rose who was busy herself. "Seems like Daphne is done eating."

Noah listened as Jasmine told him how things worked in the Vega family. When she started talking about leadership and when to attack, the boy glared at her a little. He didn't want anyone in the family to know of his past. It felt shameful in the presence of such a pure and innocent family of children. The ex-gangster's glare subsided though when Finn began to pull on Noah's hand ask to the play. He smiled and handed Daphne over so that he could go and help the young tot with his need for excitement. What would they play? Probably hide'n'seek or something.

Noah watched uneasily as the children ran outside to go play he and jasmine talked. She spoke of how she was in a similar, if not the same situation as he was. But to the ex-gangster, it still didn't feel the same. She didn't have a criminal history. Though, it felt wrong to shun her attempts at comforting him. "Then, you know everything about me and the dangers that follows me." Noah said thinking back in his past. He remember everything he had done as clearly as day. He harkened back to his days as the leader of Lung Clan. Back then, he was known as the Dragon of Wusha Street, the place where Noah and his clan resided and ruled like kings. That is, until Sebra and his pack came rolling and declared war. It was there the two became enemies, where she swore revenge on Noah for the death of her lover, and where Noah met the Man in the Red Duster. "I'm not clean like you and your family." Noah said somberly and looked at Rose who tending to some of the other children. He breathed a sigh and looked over his shoulder to see the children playing outside so innocent and happily unaware of the things that go on in the real world.

Noah found himself staring blankly at Jasmine as she spoke. Her words were true. The boy had given up his past to protect Trixie and keep her safe. They had been together for almost a year now, and Noah felt that she was his responsibility. Jasmine then told the boy about Pierre's sister. Noah only had a slight idea of who she was. From the sound of it, she was a very powerful witch who didn't seem to take kindly to normal human beings like Noah and Jasmine. "As if I care about some high and mighty witch." He responded, scoffing at the idea of her visiting. Whether it was just his hot-blooded nature, or ignorance, Noah really didn't care about the in laws or what they thought. All that mattered now was where he was and what he was doing to change.

Noah's facial expressions didn't change one bit, even when Jasmine told him that Pierre's sister was paying for everything. This feeling, of being in someone's pocket because they paying for everything in your life. It felt like owing the mafia. It might as well have been considering how they all spoke this mighty sister. Perhaps his opinion would change if she came to visit and proved his notion about being under a mafia thumb wrong. Noah then made his way outside to go find the young and play.

As soon as he stepped outside, Noah knew that he was already in a different world. The backyard had also been manipulated by magic to appear bigger. There even large sets of big toy equipment all over the place. It felt like a little kids dream land. But all this made the ex-ruffian smile. The Vega's were good parents. This sort of equipment would ensure they got some good exercise. Noah the heard a scream come from nowhere as he saw Finn scurry around to his spot on the playground. The brash boy simply chuckled as he walked over to boy. They had all day to play. No need to worry. Speaking of which, where was Kammy?
