Attilio was sitting in a chair in the theatre. It's been three hours since all of the kids were taken, and he's a nervous wreck. It's why Eis didn't let him go on another search party and why Sana wasn't letting him help with the online search. "Stupid…" he muttered, and pulls his own hair. If people thought he didn't care about the kids because he didn't speak to them often…they'd be wrong. He thinks about how'd he done his best to help Yuri adapt to Wonderworld, when Lance was helping others…or when Haoyu had interrupted his shoe to inform him that he took Attilio's advice about the wing span of his plane, and it had stayed in the air a whole five extra minutes.
He whimpers pathetically. "…too nervous to go and actively look, and Too nervous to help online…I'm…I'm truly pathetic…" he whimpers, curling up more on his seat. He hates feeling like this…feeling like trash, feeling worthless…it hurts…physically almost. It…it suddenly feels a little hard to breathe. He's panting, as his eyes dart Around the theatre, he covers his head. He sobs, feeling even more pathetic "w-what am I even crying for?!" he scrunches himself into a tiny ball on his seat, shaking like a leaf in a hurricane.
He doesn't hear the door open…doesn't hear his wife's voice until she's in front of him "Attilio?" Cass's voice is quiet, calming. He looks up, eyes still wide "…Cassie…" his voice is broken. She gently reaches out "…my dear, can I hug you..?" he nods, latching onto her before she can finally grab him. Cass hums Softly, petting his hair "…it's okay, love. Take some deep breaths…do you wanna feel my stomach?" she giggles. Attilio cracks the smallest of smiles "...doc said 's too early to feel anything…" Cass hums a lullaby "still, it's nice to know our baby is there." She gently guides Attilio's hand to her stomach. He smiles even more "..hey, little one." He shivers "Cass...what are we gonna do? I-I wanna be a dad, b-but…what if…what if something like this happens to-" Cass shushes him softly "baby…if it happens, we'll have everyone's help finding them…like everyone's helping right now." Attilio moves to let her on the chair "…except-"
"Darling, Eis and Sana told you to rest cause they could see you were getting nervous…they didn't want you scared, or more stressed then you were… They knew you could help, but…they didn't want you getting overwhelmed.." he sighs "…I should have been there."
"Atti, my dear, what good would it have done? Everyone was knocked out, Even Balan. As lovely as you are…one person with a good heart can't stop a group of people intending to hurt others.." he sighs shakily, and Cass goes back to humming him "…I guess tonight's not the night to announce we're Expecting?" he tries. She sighs "well..it wouldn't be right if everyone wasn't here to enjoy in with us. Once the children are here, I'm sure we'll get a baby shower we won't forget."
Attilio nods, the Thought of seeing the kids alive, and safe calming him down. "Cass…I love you…thank you, so, so much for being here for me.." she smiles "of course my darling. I would do anything for you…are you ready to face the…Isiah?!" she looks up, and notices a little boy watching them. Isiah blushes "hiiii…"
Attilio grins, and sits up "hey, little nephew.. c'mere. Are you okay?" Isiah slowly walks up, and gets into Attilio's lap, as Cass finally let's go of the other "…are you scared, bud?" Attilio asks Softly. Isiah just nods into his shirt, hugging him tightly "Mommy and Daddy are sad…and everyone is sad…and it's scary…I want my sister back…" Attilio's heart breaks, and he rubs the other's back "…it's scary, I know…but Everyone's doing…the best they can to help your sister and the other kids.."
He looks up "…why can't I help? Daddy said to leave it alone." He huffs. "Well, Bud.." Cass sighs " it's really only a job the grow ups can do…" Isiah Huffs "…I want to be grown up already!"
Attilio chuckles "…give it some time, Siah…" the boy relaxes Against him, before looking at the floor "…are you gonna have a baby, Aunt Cass?* Cass blinks, then laughs "you heard that?"
He nods. Cass smiles "yup. Me and your uncle went to see the doctor today, cause I've been feeling sick, but…it turns out it wasn't the flu…now, can you keep a secret? We don't want to tell anyone before the other's are here." Isiah nods, zipping his lips "Secrets…safe…" he yawns. Cass smiles "…I think it's your bedtime-"
As if on cue, Lucius walks in "Cass, Tillio, have you…oh." Cass smiles, and hands the sleepy boy over "right here, safe and Sound."
Lucius hugs him very, very close "…thank you.." he smiles and walks out of the theatre.
Cass sits back beside Attilio "hun…is there anything I can do to ease your stress?" he hugs her "…Can you sing, Cassie?"
She nods, and sings a soft song, petting his hair
" Wise men say Only fools rush in But I can't help falling in love with you Shall I stay? Would it be a sin If I can't help falling in love with you?"
She sings softly…and Attilio leans against her, hoping with everything in his body that things may one day be alright
