Acacia Thalia Lykaious has been with the ARC team since the very beginning but her walls begin to crumble after watching Stephen lose his life. She's struggling to come to terms with the loss of Stephen and her mother and the years of emotional abus...
Thalia gathered her bag from another morning at the gym, with keeping a toddler alive, still going on dates with Becker and working at the ARC, Thalia's life has been a bit hectic and sometimes she forgets that she is human and deserves time to herself.
Approaching the front door, she pulled her keys out to the side pocket of her bag and unlocked it.
Without a doubt her presence alerted a toddler whose tiny feet pattered on the floor and it was followed by many other tiny feet.
The corner of Thalia's lips curved into a warm smile at the sight.
"Mama!" Theo excitedly said, running up with the pack of animals.
Immediately, Thalia crouched and scooped her son into her arms for a loving embrace and feeling many bodies rubbing themselves along her thighs.
"Hi, my sweet boy! Did you have fun with daddy this morning?" Thalia peppered kisses on Theo's cheeks. "hi guys" Thalia smiled, giving each pet a ear scratch.
"He was an angle like always" Victoria sported a hearty grin, strolling towards someone she hopes will be her daughter-in-law "unlike his father".
"Now that's hard to believe" Thalia picked up her son and walked into the kitchen "how was the gym?"
"Good, it was-" Thalia was interrupted by her phone, opening it to see a message from Lester telling her that he was outside.
"That's James".
"James?"
"Lester our boss, he's giving me a ride into work" Thalia tells her mother in law, setting Theo into his highchair "now you be good for yia-yia, μαμά and daddy will home soon ok, baby" Thalia explains to Theo, kissing him on the head and cheeks.
"Ok" and with that Theo goes back to play with his Noah's arc.
"Ring me-"
"If anything happens, I know the drill" Victoria smiled "now go".
Grabbing her bag and rushing out to see Lester tapping his fingers on the steering wheel, only to stop once she got into the car.

Thalia always thought of Lester being a patience especially in this job but sitting in this traffic it was defiantly running thin.
"I've got an anomaly for you Jess" Lester said down the phone to Jess, whom no doubt was starting to annoy "it's one of the greatest anomalies known to our western world".
Impatiently waiting for the flow of traffic before us, the sound of distant conversation from the road workers had started to tear away at his tolerance, their coffee break had come at an unbelievable inconvenience to the general public.
"Why they call them roadworkers when there's never any work going on!" Lester shouted out of the window before casually rolling it back up.
The Wednesday morning workmen were clearly unaware of the danger they posed to the surface. We watched as one of them finally set down his flask and picked up his jack hammer and uncaring drilling as unaware as everyone else of danger.
