A Day With Daddy

(Age 5)

Kirsty had been invited to go out with the women of the labyrinth for a girls' day out. No guys allowed. Which suited Pinhead just fine. The last thing he needed was to be around a gang of females shrieking and laughing like high schoolers. The only thing that prevented him of being their chaperone to places was the fact he agreed to bond and watch the little terror Arcturus.

Arcturus who was 5 at the time had no desire to hang out with his mother and friends either. To him, girls at this age were disgusting. "Dad what are we going to do today?" Arcturus asked his father. Pinhead turned to regard his son. "I have no clue." Pinhead responded. He honestly had no clue in what to do…he had never actually been assigned babysitter to his and Kirsty's son, as that task was usually shared by both at the same time.

Maybe they could go out for a walk. Just the guys. "Dad can Uncle Pistonhead and Uncle Frank come over?" Arcturus asked. Pinhead thought about it for a while. "I do not think that is a wise idea. Your aunt Angelique is still angry about what happened when you were younger. She has threatened them with their lives if they come within 10 miles." Pinhead grinned remembering that fateful day. Those bastards had it coming though. Arcturus wandered around his home for a while, while his father prepared to go out.

'Maybe "going out" will help me get to know my son. After all he IS my son and I should know about what goes on with him. Plus it would be a great bonding experience and I could explain things to him that are best suited for fathers to explain to their sons. He mentally prepared himself for the questions that his son would ask (little did he know*see not so innocent questions story*) he even had the questions "pre-chosen."

After packing a lunch for the both of them they set out on their journey. It started well enough with Pinhead explaining about different things and the wildlife he may encounter and what do if the wildlife posed a threat. He also explained that if you hear a chime you need to be especially aware because some greedy human was opening the box and if Arcturus was too close he would be sucked into the human world and be stuck there until the box was opened by another human.

Cenobites while they could open the box it would be useless to them in the human world. Arcturus did not want to be caught anywhere in the human world he decided. He would take his father's advice and steer clear of any chimes he heard. The pair walked off in silence for about an hour or so before having lunch. Arcturus played around some before eating and then only really ate when his father got annoyed with him.

"Arcturus if you do not eat…if you keep playing around I will kill you." Pinhead said not meaning it. In reality he would have been devastated if anything happened to his only child. Arcturus looked at his father. Pinhead's eyes remained cold and serious. He wisely at his lunch. He knew his father would not actually kill him because this mother had threatened him as well.

However Arcturus did believe his father when he also said that if he continues with his unruly behavior would get him grounded. His grounding as it was put "would be legendary even in hell."

After lunch was done the two walked on in silence for a while. Arcturus's face suddenly scrunched up in thought.

"Daddy, can I ask you some questions? Arcturus asked. Pinhead looked at his son. "Yes." he simply replied.

Pinhead's carefully thoughtout pre chosen questions came to a screeching halt when Arcturus asked his very first question.

Well that's the final chapter. Thanks for reading. J

I am debating if I should do an extended version going through Arcturus's child hood, to his teens and then young adult.

If I do I am going to have to get more ideas on how to do the story and lay it out. Until then ciao.
