All He Wants is Family
A/N Here's more of the story and I hope people enjoy.
Thanks go to Inyunaruto365 for her reviews which make me want to write more.
Pitla sighed as he found Snowgre in his room getting changed after a shower after a whole day of snowboarding but saw a relaxed look on his face which lying in a warm volanic hot spring would normally do but watched as the teen dressed formal since they were having guests but had no clue that they were more than guests.
"Snowgreia just wear casual.
Besides they're family." he said.
Snowgre's emerald green eyes went wide at his uncle saying that but never knew that the guests were related to his parents but Pitla was nervous because he hadn't told him that he would be ending up leaving Snowia yet but was hoping he'd take it well but he would wait until after dinner to tell him as he was opening a bottle of wine.
Snowgre wondered what the occasion was but was peeking in the living room at his uncle's guests but they didn't look like family but was still curious as he was dressed in warm clothes which were casual but Fiona saw fear in his eyes as she beckoned him into the room.
She knew that to the young ogre, it was hard to get used to new people until they knew each other but hoped Snowgre would get to know and love them but she saw him stare at Shrek examining him from the outside but knew that he was family but wondered why they were really here.
"Do you know my parents?
Is that what you and Uncle Pitla were talking about?" Snowgre asked as Fiona bit her lip.
She wanted to tell him but knew the truth would hurt him but had to answer him.
"Where do you think they are Snowgre?
It is Snowgre right?" she said as the teen nodded.
"Yeah.
I imagine that they had to hide." he began.
"Why would they be hiding?" Shrek asked curious.
"Because of people wanting to hurt them but they didn't have time to bring me so Uncle Pitla must've rescued me.
He doesn't like when I talk about it." he answered but Shrek understood.
He then saw Pitla beckon him out of the room but Snowgre wanted to hear but the door was closed so he couldn't hear but Fiona saw worry on her husband's face as he returned but wondered what they were talking about but Pitla came in carrying a bottle of wine.
Shrek and Fiona noticed that Snowgre was very quiet and not giving a lot of eye contact as they were sitting around the table as they were eating noodles along with other foods with houmous and olives but Pitla had told them that Snowgre was very shy and found it hard to come out of his shell abd found it hard to make friends with other kids but they understood but hoped they could help him but Pitla was more nervous but Shrek remembered what his cousin had said that he was nervous about telling Snowgre that he was leaving Snowia but he had an idea on bringing it up but he hoped Pitla wouldn't be mad or upset Snowgre.
"So where do you guys live?" Snowgre said softly but Fiona had heard him.
"We live in a swamp in a forest in Duloc." Shrek answered testing the waters with the kid.
"That...... sounds good." Snowgre answered.
"Because you're coming back with us." Shrek said.
Snowgre then spat out some olives at that.
"You're kidding right?" he said to them.
The look in Pitla's eyes told him it was the truth but Snowgre looked hurt but understood as they ate but Pitla sighed as he brought out quiche but knew that Snowgre was sad but wanted to talk to him about it as they went outside but Snowgre looked away from him.
"I know you're surprised but I'm doing it to help you feel better.
You see I'm getting older and soon it will be impossible to keep looking after you but I know you'll like it in Duloc.
Maybe one day you'll find your parents.
While you're in Duloc, don't forget me." he told him.
Snowgre nodded in reply as he smiled a little.
"Maybe you're right Uncle." he told him.
They then went inside but Shrek and Fiona noticed that Snowgre was still quiet but was eating but he seemed subdued as Pitla brought out hot mud fudgecake with other delights but Snowgre only had some fudge cake but he then excused himself and went to his room.......
Pitla found Snowgre in his room packing for departing tomorrow but he noticed that the young ogre was holding back tears as he was packing things like his books and clothes and other stuff into a suitcase but hoped that things would be okay in Snowia while he was gone but felt sad as he hugged him but slipped something around his neck, a locket in the shape of a snowflake.
"This was around your neck when I rescued you.
I wanted to give it to you for your birthday but you need it now." he told him.
Snowgre smiled as he hugged him.
"Thanks Uncle.
I'll never forget you." he said wiping a tear from his eye.
He knew Snowgre would be fine with Shrek and Fiona......
Snowgre woke up as the sun rose but yawned as he got dressed.
He was feeling nervous and scared about leaving because he'd never set foot out of Snowia before but he hoped that he could do this but smelt pancakes as he left his room and went into the kitchen but found Pitla cooking with Shrek's help but the teen was quiet as he sat down at the table as they both realised he was up but he smiled shyly as Fiona walked into the kitchen.
"Morning Snowgre did you sleep well?" she asked gently.
"Yeah." he answered as he was hungry.
He watched as they were also cooking eggs but she oticed he was very quiet but understood like she had felt about leaving the dragon guarded tower but she would talk to him later as they ate.
But they noticed that Pitla seemed sad but Shrek understood.
It was hard for anybody to let go of their kid but he would take good care of Snowgre for him.
But he noticed that he was quiet as they were putting their things in the carriage but Snowgre sighed as he climbed into the carriage along with Shrek and Fiona but Pitla saw him look out the window as the carriage drove off......
