Angel's POV
I faceplant into the couch, groaning. I haven't had attention in forever. I know dad and big sis have children to take care of but they completely forgot about me! I turn over to see Soul looking at me while wagging his tail. I smile a bit and pick him up holding him, at least someone notices me....well some pet. It's better than nothing. He licks my cheek and barks, very happy. I giggle quietly. "You're so cute." I tell him nuzzling his head. He licks my cheek again then yawns, curling up in my lap. I pet his head gently and I can tell he fell asleep. I hear footsteps and I turn to see dad walking into the living room and sitting next to me. "Angel, are you ok?" He asked, looking concerned. I nod. "I'm fine." I tell him but it isn't completely true...."Angel, I know your lying." He said and hugged me, being careful of Soul. I hug back sighing softly. "I just feel alone...I know you and Hope have kids to worry about but it feels like you completely forgot about me.." I said to him sadly. He pets my head looking a bit upset with himself. "I'm so sorry....I never forgot about you, it has been stressful the past couple of days. I'm sorry I made you feel this way." He said sadly. "Dad it's alright. I know Hope needed you, it's ok." I tell him, hoping to make him feel better. He held me close as a few tears fell from his eyes onto my shoulder. I knew he was trying to hold them back, so I look at him straight in the eyes. He looks back into mine, and I could see the sadness, stress, and worry in his eyes. "Dad, you can let it out. It's ok." I tell him gently. "If I do....it'll make me look weak in front of my daughter." He whispered. I shake my head. "No it won't. I won't think of you any differently. I promise." I said to him. More tears fell from his eyes and he started to cry silently. "I'm so sorry." He repeats over and over to me while crying. I rub his back to soothe him. Soul wakes up, hearing dad crying and nuzzles close to him. Hope, Jason, and mom walk in with S.J, Hart, and Anna in their arms. They all see dad crying and sit next to me and dad, hugging him. The little ones grab his fingers gently to try and cheer him up as well. Dad looks at them, and soon calms down. "Honey, what's wrong?" Mom asked concerned.
Seto's POV
"Honey, what's wrong?" Kisara asked concerned. I look down, only to see the little ones playing with my fingers. "I...." I try to speak but nothing comes out. "Dad was upset that he hasn't been spending time with me. He's stressed and worried for all of us. He couldn't hold it in anymore...that's why he was crying." Angel explains and I nod in agreement. "Oh Seto..." Kisara says sadly, cupping my cheek. "I'm sorry..." I say softly. "It's ok dad, we all understand what you're going through." Hope tells me. "We can help you, if you want." Jason said. I nod. "I think that would be best." Anna coos reaching up for me. I gently take her in my arms along with the twins. "It's ok my little ones, I'm ok." I whisper to them. The twins nuzzle close to me, with worried expressions on their faces. "Daddy with be ok, I promise." I tell them gently and sing them a lullaby to gently put them to sleep. When they fell asleep, Kisara takes them from me and goes to the nursery. "Dad, are you gonna be ok?" Hope asked me. I nod. "I'll be fine, now all of you go back to bed. I don't want you to worry about me." I tell them sternly. They nod leaving the room.
