Ceon's eyes drooped and he let out sigh. "Ok...I'll put Gabriel and Maria to bed. Just make sure you come back this time," Ceon said with a smile, trying to make the situation a bit lighter.

Layna smiled, and kissed Ceon's cheek lightly, and though it was reserved, and measured, it was a warm kiss. She was brief with it though, a nervous tension in her stomach at the thought of seeing Razu once again. She bent down to kiss Gabriel's forehead, and then Maria's. "Sleep well, little ones, I'll be back soon." She murmured softly, sighing. She smiled momentarily at Ceon, before she began to walk to the door. "I will be back soon." She murmured, opening the door softly, and shutting it behind her. Her heart was racing with a silent kind of indifference. But she was happy to be able to see Razu, and Jaden. They had to know she was back.
((Exit: Jaden's Apartment))

Ceon smiled as she kissed his cheek, and turned as she left. "Ok, you two, time for bed," he spoke softly as he carried Maria to the kids' room, Gabriel following close behind in his lycan form. He warmed up a bottle of milk in the microwave and brought it to Maria, who happily took the bottle. Her eyes soon became heavy, and she fell into a deep sleep. Gabriel, however, looked at Ceon questioningly from the edge of his covers. Ceon stood there for a few moments, thinking of anything he could do to show Gabriel that he was his dad. He picked up Gabriel's teddy bear and brought it over to him, "Good night, son." Ceon tucked Gabriel in and turned off the lights, then left into the bathroom.
He looked at his face in the mirror. His whole figure had changed since he had first met Layna. He was much more muscular now, but also had many scars. He had started to grow a beard and his hair had become knotted and messy. There were bags under his eyes from lack of sleep, and his teeth were almost always his lycan fangs nowadays. God, what have I become? Ceon then picked up an electric razor out of the drawer under the sink and began to shave off his beard. When his chin was clean-cut, he grabbed some scissors and began working on his head.
Tired and full of thought, Ceon headed off to his bed, now feeling an unusual breeze blowing on his now shaved head. He slipped off his shirt and torn jeans nd hopped into bed, turning into his lycan form. He let out a few whimpers, no doubt he was thinking about Layna and Razu. But the thoughts soon slipped, as did his consciousness.

Buildings were ablaze, gunfire could be heard among the streets below, only to be snuffed out by the roars of lycans. Several lycans stood atop of the empire state building, watching the carnage unfold. The first lycan turned to Ceon's human form, his hair sticking up in every direction, and two metal spikes sticking from his lip. There was a brand across his back, the symbol unreadable. The three lycans behind him turned as well, revealing to be his family. Gabriel was slightly taller than Ceon, with a metal plate strapped to his chest and hair dyed blonde and put into spikes. Layna looked like she had when Ceon first met her, timid, but her eyes were red with hatred, and multiple vampire bites and silver bullets had found their mark and left scars on her body. Then Maria came walking up beside Ceon, walking in an elegant manner, yet there were no scars, no holes, not a mark on her figure. Her long black hair trailed behind her as she scanned the city. Ceon then let out a triumphant howl, and all the lycans responded.
Ceon woke up in a daze, drenched in sweat. He was breathing heavily, but he maintained his human form, He walked into the chidrens' room, and sighed in relief at the sight of his son and daughter sound asleep. He came into the kitchen and grabbed a beer from the fridge. Flicking off the cap, he took a swig and thought There's no way that could happen, could it?

Layna reentered the apartment, as quiet as a wraith, her expression unreadable. She could hear Ceon in the kitchen, but made no move to approach the area. She sank down onto the ragged couch, her thoughts in turmoil as she fought to regain footing on everything she knew. Razu had the look of one who tried not to show he cared, a blank, sightless look as he had watched her. She let out a sigh that contained no air. She had remembered what the Elders had said.
"You don't want this child, Layna."
"Yes I do."
"There are...complications..."
"I don't care."
"We're trying to help you..."
"Don't you take my child from me!"
"Layna! Layna! Stop it!"
She could only remember blackness after that. She still saw the horrified looks upon her people's faces as they watched her stomach bulge as her pregnancy progressed to horrible proportions. It had sapped all her strength to care for the growing child within. Maria had been a true gift of pain and love. And yet... Layna's thoughts strayed toward her conception and she could suppress a shudder. But Ceon... He seemed different somehow for which she could not place a finger upon.

Ceon was walking to the porch when he saw Layna sitting on the couch. He half choked on his beer and forced it down his throat. How long had she been there? She looked like she was going to cry, and he took a step forward, but thought it would be best if he left her alone. His new haircut probably wouldn't help. He snuck slowly back to the kitchen, hoping she didn't notice him.

Layna's senses registered Ceon as he moved, and she looked back over her shoulder toward the kitchen. "I'm fine, Ceon..." She murmured, the corners of her eyes creased as she fought to control the tears that had begun to gather. She brought her knees up to her chest, and set her chin upon the top with a soft sigh. "Sorry. Everything is done."

Ceon set the beer on the counter and sat next to Layna on the couch, "That was pretty fast. Well, the kids are asleep. And you have been trvaeling for a long time. You probably need some rest to, Layna. Look, you're starting to get dark rings under your eyes."

Layna leaned against Ceon's shoulder, not commenting on the new hair that he sported. "I am not tired...Just burdened by faults that are my own." She closed her eyes with a soft and silent sigh. At least Ceon had one quality in which she enjoyed since she had met him. He was warm and comforting.

Ceon wrapped his arm around Layna and held her close and kissed the top of her head, taking in the scent he loved so much. "Not all faults are yours, love." Ceon looked at the ceiling for a few seconds and remembered his dream. "Layna.....do you think Maria was born for a reason?"

Layna blinked at the question, and slowly shook her head. "If she was...I am unsure for what cause." She murmured softly without raising her head. "Why do you think that, Ceon?" She asked quietly, her hidden expression one of intrigue and confusion. She could not think that Maria was born for a reason, when all she had done was suffer throughout the pregnancy and birth. It had been the worst experience ever for Layna.

"Nothing...it was just a dream. I'm sure of it....a long hoped for dream." Ceon ended in a whisper. He rubbed Layna's arms, covering her in warmth, "Do you think it'll be long before Gabriel remembers me?"

"I'm not sure... It's been almost two years." Layna murmured in response, raising her head lightly to stare up at Ceon's face, registering how different he looked without a beard and hair... "You cut your hair." She said in a just noticed tone. She reached up to touch the near bald head with surprise. "It feels weird." She let out an almost childish laugh in her own surprise.

Ceon rubbed over his shaved head with his own hand as well. "I figured it was time for a change." Ceon took Layna's hands in his, "Layna, I know I've screwed up a lot in the past, but I want this family to work. And if that means I have to change everything about me, then so be it."

"You...Didn't have to do that, Ceon." She murmured, suddenly at a loss for words. She pressed her cheek back against Ceon's arm with a slight, unsure smile. "But thank you...for trying." She murmured, giggling quietly. She knew compassion when she felt it, but why did Ceon feel it now. After all he had done to her, why now?
