He had lost his baby girl before she was even born, before she ever had a chance to take her first breath or open her eyes. It had broken his heart that he and Shezaam had never had a little girl of their own. He adored Voila even more after that day, watched over her ever more carefully. He knew she was Gren's child, but it didn't matter, he loved her as if she were only his.
He had spotted it easily, the way Rend followed her, the way she let him. They were in love, and it pained him in one way, yet made him happy in another. Voila was beautiful, she deserved to be happy and loved, she was no dark child of his, she had her mothers light. Yet in his eyes no male would ever be worthy of her, especially not Rend, but she had chosen. Rend stayed and the time wore on, he watched, he waited.
Now as much as he was loathe to admit it was time to let his little girl go, Rend would keep her safe...so help him. He had to trust the other male to protect her and keep her happy, he couldn't loom over her forever, that time was passed.
