“So,” Charlie relaxed back on the sofa, he didn’t know how to start off his questions but the look of patience on Antonio’s face really made him take his time.

"So, how long have you been dead?" He didn't know if dead was the right term, but he was a Demon right?

"Dad," Antonio signed, "I'm not dead." He didn't worry about the flushed look that graced Charlie's face, he's always been a little awkward.

"Though I've been a Demon since I was 18." He shrugged, "left for college and some random Demon thought it would be nice to finally rest." He is still a little upset about that, the fact that some random Demon just thrusted their life onto his and forced him to leave behind what he wanted so badly.

"Rest?" Charlie paused, "like die?" He had an idea.

"Yeah, die, Demons are immortal unfortunately." He frowned again, he wasn't all up for immortality until he met the others and he gave into the idea of living with the loves of his life.

"So, your never gonna age." Charlie frowned, "your never gonna grow older?" He wanted Antonio to change, he loved seeing his older son develop more and more but not being able to see that threw him off a little.

"I'll age, just a lot slower than the average human." And he meant that, Rias was 23 and still looked to be the age of a 15 to 16 year old.

"How slow?" Charlie blinked, he was quite curious.

"I don't know." Antonio didn't, he was new to this just like Charlie was, he only knew as much as what the Demon had told him before dying and leaving him alone.

"Oh," Charlie rocked back, "do, do Bella know?" He was sure she didn't.

"She knows I'm not human but doesn't know what I am exactly." He shrugged, "Neither does Renee if you were gonna ask if she knows less than Bella." He was given a disappointed look when he called his mother by her name.

"You haven't talked to your mother?" He was happy that Antonio stuck by him for this long, but he was worried that his son was throwing away an opportunity to get with his mother by ignoring her.

"No," he didn't want to, he had to stop Rias from scheduling a plane ride to visit her because he didn't want to see her, he wasn't missing her and he was sure it was mutual.

"Antonio, " Charlie signed, "talked to your mother, for me." He rubbed his shoulder.

"It doesn't have to be tonight, or tomorrow, but it has to be sometime soon." He signed, "she's worried about you and upset that you don't want to talk to her." He was just as upset with Renee than Antonio was, but that didn't mean he would stop Antonio from having a relationship with his mother.

"I'm not talking to her because of you." Antonio frowned, "I just don't want to talk to her." But he would for Charlie, he'll do it later when everything is situated, but he knew she was quite the dramatic so she'll have to wait to meet the girls and Gasper.

"So, I didn't take you for a polymourous type of guy." Charlie blushed, "guess with my looks you would be attracting all the girls." He smacked his shoulders again.

"Yeah you're right," Antonio blushed, "I didn't think I was either." He truly didn't plan on having multiple women, he even thought it was disgusting, but persistence and the petty arguments were getting to his head and he gave up and gave it a try.

"But you're not alive right?" He quickly asked again, "like a human?" He saw him eat and everything, even breath.

"Yes dad, I'm alive." Antonio laughed, "think of us like another species of human, a little powerful but still human." He shook his head, a smile gracing his face.

"Oh, okay." Charlie nodded, "can you do something cool?" He was just teasing but Antonio's smirk made him a little worried.

"Well, I can do this." He shrugged and placed his hand in front of Charlie's face, a red goat head symbol appearing, and flashing in front of his eyes.

"You don't have to worry about Vampires and someone reading your mind." He shrugged, and placed a shield on his body, to protect him from other creatures that might want to either perform magic on him or eat him...Gumiho's and Banshee's were a bitch to get rid of.

"What?" Charlie blinked.

"I said it's getting late and it's time for you to head home." He smiled, watching Charlie nod and stand up.

"I'll see you soon son." He waved goodbye and drove away.
