Clink: I'm so sleepy…zzz…zzz…zzz

Clank: *Slap* wake-up!

Clink: I hate you Clank, more than I hate the people who are obsessed with vampires.

Clank:…Oh…if that's the case I suggest you run because the vampire fan girls are grabbing spears…

Clink:…oh S*^%

Clank: Well we will be back after Clink is safe…*grabs pitch fork* Stay back from my alter ego!

Phoenix sighed as he stared out his window. His last few cases had been a bit more brutal than usual for him. Lately all of the murder victims had been children. Phoenix being a father and having his 3rd child along the way couldn't not be more serious and demanding for the truth. Some of his clients acted shaky, to the point in which he wanted to either one scream at his client and demand a strait answer or just to not their cases. His latest case involved a 4 year old girl who was murdered in her apartment by accident. What happened was his client was having a fight with his neighbor in the hall way and by mistake his neighbor shot through the door and killed the child.

He looked out the window into the foggy sky. It looked as if it was going to rain soon. Much like the scenery outside Phoenix was at battle with himself. Confused, he loved to defend to protect the innocent but at the same time he didn't like having to possibly defend the guilty.

He heard a creek in his door and turned to see Iris slowly walking into his room. "Hello Feenie" she smiled as she gently walked into the room. "Doing work?" she asked him looking at the pile of papers stacked on his desk.

Phoenix shook his head. "No, just thinking." He said continuing to look out the window.

Iris looked out the window with him. "It's been hard hasn't it?" Iris asked. She laid her soft hand on Phoenix's rugged shoulder.

Phoenix didn't know how in the world Iris read him so easily but figured he might as well answer. "Yes, it has been…the children…" he muttered under his breath.

Iris's hand began to stroke his back slowly trying to ease his pain. "Feenie…I wanted you to be happy, but it seems all I did was cause pain to you…"

Phoenix suddenly felt unbearably guilty and stuttered to apologize. "N-No Iris it's not your fault! It's just the cases…that's all…"

Iris sighed. "I still feel as if some of this is my fault… probably because were having our 3rd child soon and you recent victims are children."

Phoenix blushed and thought to himself. "Well that's partly my fault as well" he then diverted his attention to Iris's stomach which had swollen since two ago. "Speaking of child I wonder how little Kute is doing." He brought his head to Iris's stomach. "How are you doing in their?"

"…….zzz….zzz….zzz…huh what?"

Iris giggled. Sounds like he's sleeping."

"…*YAAAAWN*…sorry I'm just a little tiered from a big meal that's all….*YAAWN*…So how is yooooooour day?" Kute asked curiously.

"*sigh* not very well Kute…" phoenix sounding depressed.

"How coooome?" he asked.

"It's nothing you should be hearing at this age Kute, lets just say daddy is having some bad days." Phoenix tried to make it sound innocent.

"A bad day? Is daddy sad?" Kute asked again with his unlimited questions.

"Yes, daddy is sad…but daddy will get better." Phoenix gently touched Iris's stomach.

"Hehee that tickles!...but daddy shouldn't be sad, because mommy told me that daddy always found a way to make things better. No matter how bad things got. So if daddy is getting sad because of a little bad day…" Kute seemed reluctant to continue.

"Then you aren't my daddy…" he then clammed himself up.

Phoenix was awestruck by his child words. However he did speak the truth, Phoenix always was able to make things better no matter how difficult. He remembered when Maya was kidnapped and no matter how scared and worried he got he fought on until he knew he had one, for the great truth. Simply put he had to buck up, like he had when he was younger.

Phoenix smiled. "Thank you Kute." He kissed Iris's belly.

"I love you to daddy."

Iris smiled as well and gleamed in Phoenix's face. "I've never seen you smile like that since you were in college. It's really cute." Iris kissed Phoenix's cheek and held his hands. "So…you decided?"

Phoenix's smile grew bigger after hearing that. "I think I understand now Iris. I think I just lost my faith, my luster, my courage." Phoenix glanced at Iris's stomach again.

"Maybe that's something Kute got from me. Something he gave back to me too,"

Iris's eyes glimmered, she never saw Phoenix so…passionate. "I'm glad to know that you're back on your feet Feenie."

Phoenix smiled; he knew that he was ready now…all it took was a little inspiration.

Phoenix then got up and stretched himself. "It's good to know Kute will have something for you but he's definitely inherited a few things from you."

Iris grinned. "Like what?"

"I can already tell he's got your caring attitude and he sounds gleeful. However theirs one thing that I can see from both of you that's pretty obvious."

Iris tilted her head. "What's that?"

Phoenix laughed lowly. "You both have a big appetite." He then fled the room laughing like an idiot.

Iris quickly flustered chased after him. "Feenie! Get back here!"

Clink: Lol I found that last joke funny

Clank: Clink: have you not realized were hanging upside down over a pot of boiling oil.

Clink: Nope I'm completely oblivious as long as I have the power of the internet.

Vampire Fan Judge: Oh if that's the case Clink3k1 YOU LOSE THE INTERNET! *SLAM*

Clink: NOOOOOOOOooooooo! ………..Clank I suggest you close you eyes unless you want your eyes to be covered in blood.

Clank: *Covers Eyes*

*Random screams and blood splattering can be heard.

Clank: I suggest we go to a break before we traumatize our readers.
