"P-papa… is… is it you.." Renton's small voice asked in disbelief, as he stared down from the stair case where his old man, a lady dressed in white and blue, a green haired girl, and who he hoped was

he father. By now all of them were staring at him with varying expressions.

Old man axel had an irritated face, papa was looking at him with a strange blank stare, that made renton feel like he was being examined, the lady had a look of disbelief and shock, and the green haired girl… was just staring at him.

"Renton what are you doing up so late?" axel's voice was chipped from ice, his eyes stared straight into the baby blue ones of Renton's.

The boy paid no mind to him though, he was staring at Holland, and Holland was staring back at him.

His innocent childlike eyes, looked into the ones of a legend. But renton felt no fear this was his father after all. It was like looking at a life size breathing version of the posters in his room, just alike,

tousled silver hair, a bit of a goatee and side burns, tan skinned and tall.

Before he knew it, renton found himself down the stairs standing in front of Holland.

It's really him… he finally came I knew it! Renton thought I large grin showing on his face. He was about to hug his father, and possibly cry a little when his old man grabbed him roughly by the shoulders and pulled him to his side.

"What the heck are you doing old man! Let me go!" he whined, struggling to get out of the elderly man's surprisingly strong grip. He expected Holland to do something but the man was still just staring at him blankly. Not doing anything to claim his son.

"Old man let me go! Papa's finally here! Let me go!" renton yelled to no gain.

"renton" old man growled out "Go up to your room and shut the door!"

The boy looked at him like he was insane. "why the heck would I do that!"

"Okay what the hell is going on here!" the woman yelled finally, getting over the shock that her man(Holland) had a child, she knew that he had past girlfriends but A kid was completely unheard of!

"who the heck is that kid, and Holland what the hell is he talking about?" she screamed angrily. Renton finally recognized her as Talho, the pilot of Gekko state and his fathers girlfriend.

When Holland didn't respond she reached over and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, shaking the man slightly, but he still didn't release his gaze off of renton.

"This is renton, miss Talho…. The son of Holland and Diana." old man's voice was muted but was still heard, and Talho was frozen all over again, and she two stared at the boy.

"m-my… s-s-son.." Holland finally spoke in a strutting tone, renton turn to him and grinned.

"I knew you didn't forget about me! I know it!" the boy cheered.

"Yes your son… you remember the one that you left with my grand daughter not even a week after he was born, and the one that you never wrote two or send any gifts too, even on his birthday." old man bite out angrily, tighten his grip on Renton's shoulder.

"Old man don't say that about me papa! He was just busy! He never forgot about me!"

He turned his head back to Holland, with a happy smile on his face.

"I mean why else would he be here? He's finally going to take me with him, right papa."

Holland finally thawed, and surprisingly gave a grin back to the small boy, if renton had not been so elated in seeing his father than he would have noticed how off his grin was and how it seemed to be fake and forced onto the mans face.

"Of course I didn't forget about you son!" he exclaimed, crouching down to look the boy eye to eye.

"I soon as I got some time I flew down here as fast as I could so I could take you with me! You don't know how much I missed my little boy, I would take you with me but.."

Holland trailed off, putting on a fake worried sad look.

Renton, who had been buying all of the crap Holland said, had an impossible happy look on his face, like his greatest dream had come true.

"What! What is it why can't you take me?" he nearly begged, not noticing the glint in Holland's eyes.

"well the reason is son… one of my best LFO's got messed up really bad, and your old man here is the only one who can fix it."

Renton turned to his old man and put on the best puppy face he could. "Please old man, I've waited so long… please!" he begged.

Axel had been silent up until now, clenching and unclenching his fist and glaring at the floor. But when he heard the voice of the little boy he knew he had lost, with on weary nod he left to the garage

where the type zero was waiting for him.

Adroc… diana… what would you have done.

He thought slowly.
