Primal

Chapter 14

He felt entirely depressed for one whole week, not leaving his room and keeping his head pressed into the pillows. He didn't want to know what happened to Rito, he didn't want to hear any of it. He didn't even want to now what was Oran and Solomon where doing now. Not even Mya could get him out of the bed, even when she tried pulling him out. He flopped like a rag-dog, eating pieces of food but mostly sleeping. 

"You can't stay here," 

"Oh yes I can," 

"No you can't, think about the twins, they need some life in ya, come on, lets go to the roof top and get some nice sun-shine," said Mya grabbing his wrists and pulling him into a sitting position. He changed slowly into his jumpsuit before dragging himself behind her. Once on the roof he just sat down, staring upward at the sky. Satellite...signals...I can reach out to them via satellite...if they're going to even bother answering, he thought standing and moving to the edge, looking out towards the ocean. He fiddled with his fingers, staring down at the city. "Hungry?" she chirped. "Not really," 

"I'm going to get something for the both of us either way, it's boring eating alone," said Mya patting his sleeves, the girls flocking around him. He sighed before sitting down on the edge of a chair. "One must not be so sad for so long, not good for the babies," said one of them. He leaned back rubbing the back of his neck. He looked down at his stomach, resting a hand on his stomach. "I can't help it," he whispered when he heard a slight yip and looked around to see Oran holding Solomon in his arms. "Hi...is it okay if I talk to my fiance...alone?" said Oran, all of them looking t him then at the man. "Go stand by the door," he said, all of them rising and the hurrying off past Oran. "I thought you were no longer talking to me," he said looking back out at the ocean. "I'm not happy with what you did but...I can't deny Solomon the enjoyment of torturing you for the week," said Oran, placing Solomon on the ground who instantly went to him, hands opened and giggling. He leaned down and lifted Solomon up, kissing him on the cheeks over and over again. "But you...you don't want to talk to me still," he said, Solomon looking at the pool. "I don't know...I have the sudden urge to just take you right now and then...I feel...angry...so angry," whispered Oran, obviously tormented. He just gazed up at Oran, holding Solomon's hands as the boy jumped up and down on his laps, squealing. "How about you go figure out if you really want to marry or me or not, and as you can tell, you have a limited amount of time," he said turning back to Solomon and making a face, Solomon laughing hard. "You're going to be goofball when you get older, you realize that?" he said. He gently turned to see Oran gone, his attendee's appearing, squealing at the sight of Solomon who seemed to smile. 

He took pictures, slapping them into a book, him and Solomon smiling uncontrollably. Oh he needed this, to direct his focus away from everything around him. He was most definitely not cut out for this. He took a picture of everyone, their backs on the floor and spreading out as much of their hair out, Solomon reaching towards the camera. "What in the world are you all doing?" said Dr. Z gazing down at them, all of them laughing and giggling uncontrollably, Solomon smiling. "What are you smiling out you little troll," said Dr. Z, Solomon giggling. Dr. Z stuck his tongue out before returning his gaze to him. "We need to have a talk," 

"Can't it possibly wait?" 

"No," said Dr. Z abnormally calm as he sat up, snatching Solomon and rubbing his back. "Can you guys watch Solomon for me?" he said, all of them nodding and holding up a tiny hat for him. He got to his feet and followed after Dr. Z, obviously not quite trusting of him. "You know how to get to the other piece via the moon right," said Dr. Z as they came down the steps to the hallway. "Yes, I did say that, why do you ask," he thought. Dr. Z once again, grabbed his arm and pulled him towards a painting. His eyebrow arched until it began to rise, exposing a hidden chamber. The staircase was a deep and dark blue with soft blue glowing gems along the wall. "Where are you taking-,"
