A/N:

Drake and Vivian have a long needed talk, which results in tears and apologies.

Drake and Vivian arrived home, after they spent what felt like a lifetime in the St. canard Children's Hospital. After Willow needed around 14 stitches on her face, to mend a broken nose, and so many other things. She needed her feeding tube checked, to make sure NegaDuck hadn't pulled it out during his abusive manifest, thankfully it didn't need to be replaced. But the amount of fucking needles going into her was terrifying, Willow, although used to the hospital environment, was not however used to the needles. Her screams could literally bring Bushroot and Megavolt To their knees in surrender because her screams were so loud. After a record-breaking only five hours in the hospital, they were done, Willow and Gosalyn passing out in the car on the way home. He has to say, this was one of the most eventful days of his life in his civilian character, not once has life been this eventful for Drake Mallard.

After they both put the girls to bed, considering it was way too late for Willow and Vivian to go home, both girls ended up making a blanket fort in the middle of Gosalyn's bedroom, while the other had tons of cushions to support her.

While Drake and Vivian have a long talk.

Drake arrived with some tea, as he gestured Vivian to the couch, she took the seat her body shaking. Drake sat down not long after her and turned to face her. He looked at her with the same expression of Concern anger and pain as before. Vivian looked away, sipping the tea so that she didn't have to respond straight away. But as she sipped her tea, the cup she was holding begin to shake, a sheer sign of her nervousness. Drake's features softened slightly, as he took the cup from her shaking hands. He placed it down, Vivian's eyes not meeting his gaze, Drake placed a loving hand on her shaking one as a choked sob escaped her.

"I'm so sorry Drake... I'm so sorry... I didn't want to tell you because I knew you would think less of me... my parents always hated him... And now I know why, Jim used me... Made me feel like I was queen of the fucking world... Just to fucking use me! Is that all I am to the world, an object? Because that's all I feel important for, is a fucking stupid object for men to use and abuse..." she said, sobbing once more, Drake gently and kindly wiping away the tears with his thumb.

"NegaDuck is dangerous Vivian... He could've killed you... I mean, just look what he did to poor Willow... Your nine-year-old does not deserve that! She doesn't deserve this type of treatment, you and I both know this. I would never let my daughter get abused by that bitch who calls himself a person, I would never. "Drake replies, feeling somewhat better after getting that part out of him.

Vivian was shaking, her bottom lip was trembling as her thoughts were just everywhere. Drake looked somewhat guilty for the outburst but allowed her to speak when wanted.

" I am a complete failure of a mother... I'm a complete failure..." Vivian replied amongst sobbing. Drake looked at her, putting his hand up to her cheek wiping away the tears. "Vivian... you're not a failure, you have a beautiful daughter to prove it. You said it yourself, your daughter saved you... Your daughter saved you from a life of abuse. Imagine what would've happened if you weren't pregnant... you would've had to follow his every order, do exactly as he says exactly when he says it. But now, you have a beautiful daughter, that is just a ray of sunshine, that lights up any room, your daughter is a hero and she doesn't even know it... Not a lot of people that I know are like that... Gosalyn and Willow are probably the rarest example of this, they love helping people, and would do anything to help them. So you're not a failure, you never were, and you never are going to be. You're a brilliant mother, and Willow loves you, if I were you that would be enough... The fact that she loves you alone shows how strong you are and how amazing you are for doing this for so long alone. You're amazing Vivian, and you deserve to know that..." Drake said to her, cupping her cheeks with his thumbs, wiping away the tears.

But Vivian looked like she was still in a desperate need for crying, so Drake gently and carefully pulled her close to him, wrapping his arms around her and rubbing her back affectionately. Vivian's sobbing was heartbreaking, Drake continuously comforted her, making sure she drank her tea, slowly and gently of course, on the odd occasion shushing her and telling her that it was going to be okay...

Drake moved further down the couch, positioning Vivian to lie down, once he had her head resting in a comfortable position, he got a blanket for her and put it over, still staying at the other end of the couch rubbing her back affectionately, as that seemed to be soothing her. He began humming something gently, just slowly easing her into a slumber which she desperately needed.

Once her crying had finally dissolved, he slowly got up of the other end of the couch and placed a gentle loving kiss on her forehead, he then gently stroked her cheek as he went to go to bed himself. Today was a long day, Poor Vivian didn't need this right now, her daughter has just come out of the hospital after seven painful long years, and then that son of a bitch had to show up and make everyone's life hell!

But, why then did NegaDuck say to him that he wasn't here to deal with him just yet? Why did he say that he had other people to deal with, and the other people being Vivian and Willow? Why? It doesn't make any sense. But then again, most things NegaDuck does don't make sense. But now Drake had a reason to be worried, his evil counterpart was planning something, something big, something that had Vivian and Willow involved in leading them to probably get hurt or worse. Darkwing's Job just got a lot harder. It was time for him to get dangerous.
