"Darling are you sure you don't want any of this steak?" asked Logan as he watched Jubilee. He still couldn't believe she was actually have carrot sticks and brocolli in ranch dip for dinner. She used to despise that food.
"Nope this is just fine," said Jubilee with a smile. Yep nice green vegies that didn't bleed all over you were just perfect. After dinner Darek made his way to dad's room and knocked.
"Come in son."
When he stepped in he saw his Dad reading a folder he brought home from work at the desk. He looked so... domestic that Darek found it slightly disgusting. Hopefully Jubilee knows what she was doing when suggesting this.
"Hey um dad, can we talk?" asked Darek.

Andrew simply stared at his son as the words sent him into shock. It sounded like his son, it looked like his son, but it couldn't be his son. His son never suggested talking, ever.
"Son are you feeling ok?" asked Andrew. Ferals weren't suppose to get sick, but their was a first time for everything.
"Jubilee said we should talk," said Darek as he rolled his eyes. Ah now that was believable. Jubilee pestering Darek to talk to his father was something he could see.
"Ok what did you want to talk about?" asked Andrew as he turned his seat to face Darek.
"Why did you stop howling with Grandpa?"
"My heart just wasn't in it after your mom died."
"Ok why did you stop hunting in the forest?"
"When your mom-"
"Damn it dad will you stop using mom's death as an excuse for everything," growled Darek. Andrew glared at him as a growl rumbled from his own throat.
"Watch it son," said Andrew simply. Normally this would be the part where Darek would either leave or attack. But for once he did something that surprised Andrew and asked another question.
"Why did mom's death make you stop being a Feral?" asked Darek. It was a sincere question and no sound of insult was behind the words. Andrew gave a sigh before answering.
"It was being a Feral that got your mom killed."
Darek looked at him with surprise before responding.
"How?"
"You know how your mom died? Car crash while coming home from shopping. She asked me to come along and if I did I could have saved her. But it was getting around dinner time so I was going to go hunt for our dinner like a good Feral. A normal human husband would have gone with her. A normal human husband wouldn't have left her to go out at nine at night alone! I.. smelled her blood because the car crash was a block away and I swore when seeing her that I would be more responsible and that meant being more human," said Andrew softly.
"Bullcrap!"
Andrew raised his head surprised.
"Any human husband might have just said no as well! Hell even if he went with her, he wouldn't have the Feral abilities to save her! Here's a news flash dad, accidents like this happen all the times to responsible human husbands!"
"Son I-"
"No I'm talking now! Look don't go rejecting being a Feral! Its part of what you are and yeah I know that sounds cheesy. But mom loved everything about you including being a Feral. If you kill that part of you, you kill a part of what mom loved," said Darek. His voice was getting emotional and he quickly turned. He was out of the room before Andrew could respond.
"Ok son, you win," muttered Andrew to himself with a smile. Maybe his son was right though he would never tell the boy with the huge ego.

Jubilee and Logan's conversation was not going quite as calmly.
"That's no excuse!" Jubilee yelled "Yes I know you loved her for so long, but she loved SCOTT!"
"That's not fair you don't unde-"
"Understand? Why cause I'm to young? I understand it just seemed like you were waiting for him to die." At that moment something happened that never had before. Logan slapped Jubilee across the face. She didn't say anything or cry she knew what she said was a terrible thing.
"You don't know what we went through, why don't you ask?"
"Well?" her voice cracked with the on coming tears.
"I stayed away from her I didn't want to be near her. Every where I was I could hear her cry, I couldn't stand hearing that. I wanted her to feel better she wanted to feel better. Scott wasn't there to soothe her. I didn't think he would want her to cry. I thought long and hard Jubilee."
"I now understand Logan, but I can't condone it. I still love you and I'm glad to see you."
"I'm glad to be here and I love you to Darlin."
"Good I have to go Darek and I have a date."
"WHAT? You see him all the time."
"So-"

They were cut off by the sound of howling. They ran to jubilee's window, there was Andrew in the back yard.
