Hey all, I'm sorry its been a while. Life has been crazy. But, I'm finally back with another chapter. Thanks to all who continue to read, comment, and favorite this story. As always, if you enjoyed. Please remember to R&R.
Gabriel and Adrien didn't see each other for the next six days. Adrien went to school and then when he got home. He went right back to his room. And Gabriel kept himself locked in his office.
The two men finally saw each other, when they had their first therapy appointment. But, you could cut the tension in the car with a knife. Both men avoided eye contact at all cost. And didn't breathe a word to each other.
The car finally parked and both men went in and had to fill out paperwork. And then they were called back to see the therapist Mrs. Caron.
They were greeted with a friendly smile and a "hello" from Mrs. Caron. And then they seated themselves on a sofa. Mrs. Caron grabbed a clipboard. And then sat in a chair across from the two.
"Alright, I am happy to finally meet you two. So I can get an idea of what we are dealing with here. Why don't you tell me what has been happening?" Mrs. Caron asked.
Gabriel sighed, "We are trying to fix our relationship. You see, my wife went missing about a year ago. And then when she was found. She was found dead. But, over the year that she was missing. Adrien's and I's relationship suffered due to all the stress of his mother being gone. And now I want to try and fix our relationship."
"Alright, and Adrien can I hear your side please?" Mrs. Caron asked.
Adrien rolled his eyes. "I'm only here because he is forcing me. We don't need anything fixed. He just needs to leave me alone. And stop trying to be "super dad"
"Hmm...Adrien, I sense a lot of anger in your voice. And I can see you are angry with your father. So, I think it is good that you are here. So, that I can help you deal with your anger. And with the issues you have with your father." Mrs. Caron replied.
"What the hell do you know?! You just met me! You have no idea what I'm feeling!" Adrien snapped.
"ADRIEN! What on earth is wrong with you?! You can be as angry with me as you want! But, you know better then to talk to an adult with that kind of disrespect!" Gabriel snapped.
"Why did you even drag me here?! You know my problem is with you trying to "fix" things between us! There is nothing to fix! So, why can't we just leave?!" Adrien snapped.
"Alright, alright, enough, please! I see we are gonna have to do this one at a time. So, Adrien why don't you let me talk with your father for a bit? And then I will bring you back in soon." Mrs. Caron replied.
Adrien stormed out and left with a slam. Gabriel looked over at Mrs. Caron.
"I'm sorry, he knows better then to talk to an adult like that." Gabriel replied.
"Don't worry, Mr. Agreste, he is not the first person to snap at me like that. You get a lot of that when you are in this line of work. I think Adrien just has a lot of anger built up that needs to be dealt with. And I am here to help him. But, I am also here to help you. So, where would you like to start?" Mrs. Caron asked.
Gabriel sighed, "I don't even know, to be honest. I am feeling so many different things right now, guilt, anger, sadness, and so much more."
"Well, that is why you came to see me. I can help you with all of those feelings. Why don't we start with the day your wife went missing. How did that day play out for you and Adrien?" Mrs. Caron asked.
Gabriel sighed, he knew he could never forget the day his wife went "missing."
Flashback...
Gabriel stood on the platform in his office. And just stared at the painting of his wife. He was still unable to wrap his mind around everything that had happened over the past 24 hours. Gabriel felt numb, he felt like his brain was scattered and he couldn't seem to put thoughts together.
Gabriel turned when he heard the door to his office open. Standing there was Natalie and Adrien. Gabriel thanked Natalie and then she left. So, the men could be alone.
"Father, what is going on? I can't find marmee, I've looked everywhere." Adrien said.
Gabriel said nothing, as he approached his son. Gabriel avoided looking into his sons green eyes. He couldn't bare too, after just looking into Emilie's right before she died.
Gabriel finally sighed, "Adrien, your mother has been missing since last night."
"Missing? What do you mean? Do you mean she was kidnapped?" Adrien asked.
"I don't know yet, son. She had left to do some shopping last night and then she never returned. No one has seen her since she left the house last night." Gabriel replied.
"But-But, she should of had Gorilla with her! How could she of been taken with him with her?" Adrien asked.
"He didn't go last night. He was off, due to having the flu. So, it made it easier for someone to grab your mother." Gabriel replied.
"Why did you let her go alone?! When you knew this could of happened!" Adrien snapped.
"Adrien, stop! Alright, this isn't anyone's fault, except for the person who took your mother. We have the police doing a massive man hunt right now. Trying to locate her or the person who might of took her. I will let you know more, once I know more." Gabriel replied.
Adrien stood there for a minute. Before he ran back to the door of his father's office.
"No, you are lying! I know marmee is here somewhere!" Adrien snapped.
"Adrien, please, listen to me, son." Gabriel replied.
"No! Why would I listen to your lies?! I don't know what kind of sick joke you are trying to play. But, I know marmee is here somewhere! You just wait! I'm gonna find her and prove you wrong!" Adrien snapped, before leaving his father's office.
End of flashback...
"Hmm... I see, how long did it take for Adrien to come and see that she was missing?" Mrs. Caron asked.
"About two days, I think he checked every nook and cranny of our house at least four times. But, once he knew that she was actually gone. He cried for three days straight and refused to leave his room. And he would only allow me into his room to see him." Gabriel replied.
"I see, and after those first few days passed. How did you then handle your wife missing?" Mrs. Caron asked.
Gabriel sighed, "Well, that is the thing I actually feel the most guilty about."
Alright, so kind of a weak ending. But, hopefully you all enjoyed this chapter. If you did, please remember to R&R, and I will be back with the next chapter as soon as I can, until next time my friends, Blessing's! Butterfly582!
