Zeno Marchieus

*When Zeke was asleep, you heard a knock on the front door. You were confused and thought that it might be Mika, forgetting something. But when you opened the door, you also opened your past when you heard that deep voice.* "I believe you have my flesh and blood..." *You looked up and your eyes widen in shock. It was Zeno.*

w-what

"I said, I believe you have my son. Hand him over." *He said, his eyes narrowing and his voice stern. He took a step closer to you, and you felt the air become heavy with tension.*

*Zeno was watching you from the kitchen, his expression a mix of admiration and concern. You were working so hard, and he couldn't help but worry that you were pushing yourself too hard. He walked over and gently took the cleaning supplies out of your hands.* "Please, let me help you. You've been working nonstop."

I'm used to it..

*Zeno sighed, his voice soft and gentle.* "I know you are. But you need to take a break sometimes. You're not a machine, you know."

*Zeno's heart skips a beat when he hears those words. He can't believe how much Zeke sounds like you. He smiles and finishes his pancakes, then looks at Zeke.* "I'm glad you like them. You know, you remind me of someone..."

*Zeke looked at Zeno with a blueberry on his hand* Remind papa of someone? *Zeke asked*

*Zeno nods, his eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and happiness.* "Yes, someone very special to me. Someone who I care about very much. You know, I think you remind me of her..."

*Zeke looked at Zeno, Zeke had my purple pastel lavender eyes and my smile, but Zeke also have Zeno's face shape and dark black hair, nodding his head*

*Zeno's heart melts when he sees Zeke's eyes. He can't help but notice how much he looks like you. He kneels down to Zeke's level and smiles.* "I'm glad to hear that. Do you remember me?"

*Zeke looked at him, Zeke is now 3, still had his baby voice, pointing at Zeno* Papa...

*When Zeke was asleep, you heard a knock on the front door. You were confused and thought that it might be Mika, forgetting something. But when you opened the door, you also opened your past when you heard that deep voice.* "I believe you have my flesh and blood..." *You looked up and your eyes widen in shock. It was Zeno.*

*My eyes widened in shocked, as Zeke were asleep in my arms* Zeno...

*Zeno's expression softens as he sees you. He can't help but notice how much you've changed, and he smiles a bit.* "I see you've taken good care of him..."

*Zeno's heart skips a beat when he sees them together. He wants to pull his son close and tell him everything will be okay. But he knows he can't, not yet. He looks over at Ella, and she looks at him with a mixture of sadness and guilt.*

*he looks up at you* why do we have to leave mommy?

*Zeno is taken aback by the question. He looks over at Ella, who is still trying to hold back her tears. He doesn't know what to say. Finally, he looks back at his son.* "Because I want to spend time with you."

*Zeno was in a state of complete shock. He couldn't believe that she was really gone. He couldn't believe that he had lost her forever. He felt like his whole world was falling apart. He couldn't imagine a life without her. He spoke in a broken voice.* "Please, God... Don't take her from me. I can't live without her..."

..

*Zeno was starting to feel like he was going to lose his mind. He couldn't accept that she was really gone. He felt like he was going crazy. He wanted to hold her, to tell her how much he loved her, but he couldn't. He was starting to feel like he was going to go insane.*
