"Oh, hello Mr. Agreste. How can I help you? Is everything alright with Adrien?" Nino asked.

"Yes, yes, he's fine, well, actually, I just need to know if you can help me figure something's out with Adrien." Gabriel replied.

"Sure, I guess, what do you need help with?" Nino asked.

Gabriel sighed, "You are Adrien's friend. I need to know what he has said about our relationship before. And what he wants to see happen between me and him."

"Oh, um, well, I don't know, I mean whenever I ask him about you. And the relationship he has with you. He normally just shrugs it off. I mean there's been a few times. He has said he would like things from you. Like you eating dinner with him, coming his fencing matches, or basketball games. Um, but there's not much else I can think of, du-I mean, sir." Nino replied.

"Please, Nino, there has to be something Adrien has told you. That can help me fix my relationship with him." Gabriel replied.

"I'm sorry dud-sir, I want to help, but...well, wait, there was something he told me a few months back. And it might help. We were talking about his mom and other stuff. And the conversation switched to how you use to be before your wife split. Adrien said you use to be a pretty cool dude. He said you were kind, funny, would spend every moment you had avalible with him. But, he said once his mom was gone. You changed, for the worst. He said you became shallow, cold, distant. He said he felt like you could care less that he was around. Honesty, Mr. Agreste, I think Adrien just needs to hear you say that you love him. And reassure him that you are happy he's your son." Nino said.

Gabriel sighed, and here he thought he couldn't feel any worst. Gabriel finally thanked Nino and hung up the phone. Before throwing it to the side of him.

"I'm assuming that conversation went well." Natalie said.

"No, I don't think I can handle anymore guilt. Even if I was to do what Nino said. Adrien wouldn't believe me. He would just think I'm lying." Gabriel replied.

"Sir, I have an idea that might help you and Adrien figure out your issues." Natalie replied.

"I'm not talking to anymore of his school-mates." Gabriel replied.

"No, sir, not that, I was thinking therapy." Natalie replied.

Gabriel looked up at Natalie like she had just grown a second head.

"Therapy? Natalie, have you lost your mind? How will some shrink help me and my son with our problems?"

"Sir, if it hasn't become clear yet. You have not been able to get Adrien to forgive you or trust you. You made need some intervention for Adrien to begin the process of forgiving you. And to try and trust you once again." Natalie replied.

"I'm not going to ask for help! I can figure this out on my own!" Gabriel snapped.

"Sir, there is nothing wrong with asking for help. If you don't do this. Then my fear is that you and Adrien will never be able to fix anything. And that he will eventually grow to hate you and want nothing to do with you." Natalie replied.

Gabriel sighed, and said nothing for several moments. Was Natalie right? Did they need professional help? Would Adrien actually start to hate him?

Gabriel finally looked up at his assistant. And just nodded, confirming that she was right.

Alright, so not the best ending to a chapter. But, bare with me. Because, more chapters will be coming soon enough. And I do want to say before I wrap this up. There is no shame in asking for help. I was in therapy for three years for a whole bunch of different issues. And it helped me recover and helped me move foreword from what I had been struggling with. So, if you feel you need to ask for help. There is someone out there waiting to help you. You just have to pick up the phone and make a call.

And as always if you guys enjoyed this chapter. Make sure to RR, and I will be back with chapter 10 soon! Until next time my friends, Blessing's! Butterfly582!
