Five went straight into the house while the others followed in bewilderment. Reginald couldn't believe Five had returned after all these years.
"Where did you go?" Reginald asked, breaking the ice with his long lost son.
Five frustratedly looked through the cupboards as he spoke, "I went to eight days from now and then I lived for years alone until I came back. And from the look of my body, I did something wrong."
"So Dad wasn't lying when he said the world would end in eight days?" Luther questioned now that Five had validated what Reginald shared.
Five shook his head, "I'm not sure how he knows," he glanced toward his Father, "But yes. And the only clue we have is this glass eye," he threw it on to the table, letting it roll for everyone to see.
Vanya was shocked, "So Dad knows the name of the person and you know he has one eye. Let's just look him up in the records and stop him. We can lock him up in that chamber you made for me," she looked at Reginald who frowned at the memory.
"He can't just be locked up," Five replied, "He has to die and he probably won't be our only problem. Do you guys want to go to the diner and get coffee with me?"
Vanya, Luther, Diego, and Allison nodded before Five looked at Addi and his Father.
"You guys go," Addi urged, "The coffee ban doesn't matter because you're all," she paused when she looked at Five, "adults. I have to talk to Reginald anyway."
Reginald wasn't looking forward to their conversation as he got up and walked to his office while the others left and Addi followed him once everyone else was gone.
"Can we talk?" Addi asked once she was inside his study.
He glanced up, shaking his head, "I made those decisions to keep you safe and for my own selfish reasons. And now with the world about to end, we can't have a baby to protect so I won't perform a c-section."
She moved closer to him and gestured for him to push out his chair so she could sit on his lap. He complied.
"I'm not mad at you, Reginald," she began, "I completely understand your motives and I've never minded being pregnant. At this point, not being pregnant kind of scares me. However, I do have one issue I'd like to bring up with you," she paused to gauge his reaction.
He sighed deeply, "What is it, my dear?"
She reached up and placed her hand on the side of his fae, "I would like you to treat me more like a lover and your wife. Ever since you discovered my abilities, you've regarded me more as a member of the team. I want to be a member of this group but I also need a little bit of tenderness from you," she stopped to let him absorb her words.
Reginald took her face into his hands and pulled her closer so he could place his lips to hers. He had been affectionate over the past week but before that it had been years. Addi deepened the kiss while running her hand under his lapel.
"Sir," Pogo's voice interrupted them, "I'm sorry to interrupt but don't you think it would be wise to gather the children back and begin to look into this Harold Jenkins?"
Reginald shook his head, "Yes, that would be wise but right now I'm busy. Please shut the door and leave us," he replied causing Pogo to exit the study.
Reginald resumed their kiss as he helped Addi to stand and sit up on his desk so he could maneuver himself between her legs.
