Catastrophe-2

Bonding with a Demon

I hope you all enjoy this fun chapter. It will make your hearts melt.

"Well hello, Barry and Anna." Dr. Finkle greets us. "And this must be..."

"Why the hell am I here?" Damian interrupts Dr. Finkle.

"This is my nephew Damian and we would just like some help with becoming more of a family. We just need to get some issues out in a healthy manner." I inform her and she nods her head.

"That is an excellent idea, Anna. Well Damian your Aunt and Uncle have..."

"String Bean is not my uncle." Damian interrupts again.

"Oh...but Damian, Barry, and Anna are getting married, and..."

"That makes him Aunt Anna's husband. Even though she can do so much better." Damian comments.

"Seriously man? What is your problem?" Barry is getting worked up now and I foolishly thought this was going to be a good idea.

"How about I ask the questions." Dr. Finkle reigns us back in. "Now Damian why don't you tell me about Barry and what you do and don't like about him."

"I could go days on what I don't like about him." Damian states and I glare at him and he stops. "Uh...fine. He's...he's tall."

"Damian." I scold him.

"What he is?!"

"Okay how about this. Let's talk about you, Damian." Dr. Finkle changes the subject.

"Me?" Damian asks her shocked.

"Yes. I want to know about you."

"I...there's nothing to know about me." Damian looks down.

"Damian." I make him look at me. "You said you would try this." I remind him.

"Uh...I was raised mostly by my grandfather and...my mother."

"And how is your relationship with them now?" Dr. Finkle asks.

"My grandfather is dead." Damian blurts out.

"I see." Dr. Finkle writes this down. "And your mother?"

"She is...I don't know where she is." Damian answers honestly.

"And your father?"

"Uh...father is not here now. He...he couldn't raise me." Dr. Finkle looks to me for an explanation.

"My brother has...has the tendency to go off the grid for years at a time. He...we don't know where he is."

"I see." Dr. Finkle writes this down. "How do you feel living with your aunt and uncle?" She asks Damian.

"I like living with Aunt Anna. She makes life interesting. But...String Bean is..."

"Why do you call Barry that?"

"Call him what?" Damian looks at her like she asked something insane.

"String Bean? Is that an endearing nickname you give him? Does he have one for you?"

"He and his Dickface friends call me demon child." Damian blurts out.

"Barry!" Dr. Finkle scolds him and I burst out laughing. "How...can you explain?"

"Well he is...he is a child of a demon." Barry mutters and I kick his leg. "Okay, our name-calling isn't the best. We...we shouldn't do that but..."

"You all live together?" Dr. Finkle asks.

"Yes in the loft Barry and I share together." I answer her.
