A.N. ...so, chapter three. Nothing really new to say. Enjoy!
Chapter 3 - Thank You
"Bye Rory! Make sure to call us." As the family consisting of two girls and two adults waved the strange visitor goodbye, Tai thought about how the last few weeks were.
At first, he was shocked that Yang ran off to look for clues about Raven. Then Qrow punched him for being too depressed to not notice his eldest daughter run off with a toddler in a wagon.
If it wasn't for the young boy who helped Yang and Ruby get away from those Beawolves…
"So, do you think he'll call?"
"I dunno Yang. He said he can't call us that much since he travels a lot," Tai replied. The boy named Rory had stayed with the family - plus Qrow - for a couple of days.
The girls bonded with the young man while Qrow gave what the kid said was his first drink. As for Tai…
A memory of waking up in the middle of the night, walking outside to see the young boy stare at the broken moon.
"Don't grieve for those you lost. Cherish the memory, but don't let the memory blind you from what you should cherish instead. You still got two girls counting on you… be their Dad before being a Husband."
One line from a young man won't suddenly cure Tai of his depression.
"...but I hope he does."
Yet, he took those words and promised to clench them to his heart.
