Blood Ties (DrTrollinski & Soul OMU)

DrTrollinski said:
George ran upstairs to get into the shower in the bathroom after he'd gotten some clothes from his room. He was going for a little bit of a smart-casual sort of look. He wanted to make sure that he looked nice; he hopped into the shower and turned the hot water on. It felt like it made his sickness vanish - It was amazing.
After George went to get in the shower, Cole decided to go and wait in his room and get some clothes out. He lied down on his bed and took a deep breath. He was going to take a shower once George got out. He needed it.


When George had been in the shower for about ten minutes, Brandon walked back through and went upstairs to find Olivia; when he got to her room he walked up, swept her up, and then started walking downstairs to get to the bathroom where he'd ran her bath. It was strange how Olivia was going to be starting kindergarten this year in September. It was quite a daunting feeling - the only thing he was ever scared of was any of the kids getting bullied. Cole wasn't included in that. Cole was bullied a long time ago, but that got dealt with, and he knew that Cole, being the big old strong brother that he was, would deal with it if either of the kids suffered the same fate.


"Bath time, princess." He smiled and kissed her cheek. (@Soul OMU)
Olivia giggles as she's in his arms. "Yay~!" She said while hugging her bunny since she doesn't go anywhere without it usually. (@DrTrollinski)
 
Once he got her to the bathroom, he got her undressed, put her bunny on the towel rack, and then helped her into the hot bubbly bath water. He smiled and then knelt down beside her, brushing her hair with his hand. "Good, sweetheart?" He asked.


George came running downstairs and found his mom in the kitchen; he ran up to her and tugged on her sleeve while smiling (he was wearing the clothes I attached last night).


"Do I look okay, mom?" He asked. (@Soul OMU)
 
Olivia nods as she sits in the bath and gets her rubber ducky, humming softly. "Now it's complete." She said while smiling brightly.


Miranda turns around and looks at him as she had just finished putting away the last of the dishes in the washer. "Oh you look lovely darling!"
 
"Good girl." He smiled at her. ".. So, what do you want to do first? You going to wash all the important places yourself?" He said as he slid the sponge and soap over to her. "Or would you like me to help you wash your hair before you do that?" He asked in addition.


"Thanks, mom." He smiled, blushing a little. "Do you think dad would mind if I used some of his cologne? I wanna' smell nice, too." He said. (@Soul OMU)
 
Olivia tapped her chin. "Hair first!" She said while playing with her ducky, humming softly while doing so.


Miranda smiles a bit. "Maybe, go ask him." She said while standing up.
 
"Okay, honey." He chuckled and then put his head behind her neck and eased her down into the water, making sure it was only her head that went under. He got the bottle of shampoo and sat her back up once he hair was all wet, and then he squirted some on top of her head and started lathering it in. That's when George walked in.


"Dad, can I use some of your deodorant and cologne?" He asked with a smile. Brandon looked at him for a moment and grinned.


"Tryin' to impress the ladies, eh? Sure, son. Go ahead." He chuckled. George smiled and nodded in thanks before shooting out of the room and dashing upstairs to the main bathroom, where he got his father's can of deodorant and sprayed it under his arms, followed by getting some of his cologne and carefully slapping it onto his cheeks and neck. Mm. Exotic. It stung a little, but he didn't care. For a test, he ran back downstairs and into the kitchen again, tugging on his mom's sleeve once more.


"Mom, do I smell nice?" He asked as he pulled her down so she could smell the fragrances. (@Soul OMU)
 
Olivia giggles while letting him wash her hair. "Heh feels nice." She said while playing with her rubber duck.


Miranda leans down and sniffs. "You smell great love." She said while smiling a bit.
 
".. I bet it does. Your hair feels nice, anyway." He smiled. ".. It's very soft. Just like your mother's." He added, finally leaning her back and carefully washing off her hair, and then helping her sit back up. He placed the soap and sponge at her side and then slowly rose up. "Okay, sweetheart. You wash yourself, and I'll go get you some clothes, okay?" He smiled down at her.


--


"Good." He grinned. ".. Do you want me to help clean? I haven't got anythin' to do, so I don't mind." He smiled warmly up at her.


Cole hopped out of the shower and threw a towel around his body, then he made his way to his room and worked on drying himself off. He got a dark green polo shirt out alongside some blue jeans, and then slipped it all on and lied down on the bed. Now it was time to wait. (@Soul OMU)

Olivia nods as she takes the wash cloth and waits for him to leave before she starts to wash herself. Once she was done, she waited for her dad to come back with her clothes.


Miranda looks around and then at him. "I actually think it's fine, everything is clean." (@DrTrollinski)
 
Brandon came back downstairs with some clothes for Olivia over his arm - some casual stuff, a nice little shirt, some jeans, sneakers, and a hairband - being a father of a daughter, he learned how to tie hair as quickly as he could. He didn't regret doing it, either, now he tied Olivia's hair for her, and occasionally tied Miranda's as well.


Before he went back to the bathroom, he went to find Miranda in the kitchen. He didn't really think about George being there. ".. Honey... Do you want to go and get Cole downstairs? I think we'd be better off talking to him before Lexie gets back." He said.


"Talk about what?" George asked as he looked up at him with a cheeky grin. Brandon ruffled his hair and handed him the clothes.


"Nothing, you. Go and take those clothes to your sister. Help her get dried off and dressed."


"Okay, dad." He smiled and took the clothes, confidently running off to the downstairs bathroom where he went inside and put the clothes down on the towel rack. ".. Olivia, dad asked me to help you." He said. (@Soul OMU)
 
Olivia looks at him. "Uhm okie.." She said as she slowly got out of the tub. "Don't look!" She squealed softly as she wrapped herself in the towel like a caccoon.


Miranda sighs and heads upstairs. "Cole? Love?" She said and knocked on his bedroom door.
 
George looked away while she climbed out, but got her underwear ready. He was no fool, he knew what parts needed to be shielded most to block out some of the shyness and embarrassment. He'd experienced it himself when he was younger and Cole had to bathe him because their parents were at work. Once she was dried off, he handed the underwear to her.


--


"Yeah, mom?" He called back, slowly getting up from his bed and walking over to the door, gently pushing it open with a sigh. He greeted her with a smile, even though he did feel a little sick after last night. He saw that she looked a little worried, and his smile turned to a gentle frown. "Is everything alright?" He asked. (@Soul OMU)
 
Olivia quickly pulls them on and pulls on the rest of her clothes as well.


Miranda gives him a small smile. "Yeah... Me and your father need to talk to you..." She said as she headed downstairs.
 
".. Dad says him and mom are gonna' be talkin' to Cole... I don't think we should go near 'em when they are..." George muttered quietly as he picked up the hairbrush from the edge of the sink and started gently brushing Olivia's hair so it didn't look all frizzy when it dried. He didn't know how to tie a girl's hair, but he knew how to brush it. It was easy enough.


--


Cole followed her downstairs and was eventually lead to the living room where he saw Brandon sat on the couch, an envelope in hand. He raised one eyebrow and then sat down in the armchair that was just beside the couch; Brandon waited for Miranda to sit down, and then he took hold of her hand and sighed.


".. What did you guys wanna' talk about?" He asked. (@Soul OMU)
 
Olivia nods as she sits in front of him so he could brush her hair, closes her eyes as he does. "Okie..."


Miranda sits beside Brandon and takes his hand as she bites her lip. "Well dear..." She starts and looked at Brandon.
 
Once he was done brushing her hair, he lead her upstairs and into his room where he sat her on the bed. He climbed up onto it himself where he sat on his knees and looked out of the window. It was a beautiful day, once again. ".. What do you wanna' do?" He asked. ".. We can watch TV in here, if you want." He asked.


--


"Read this, son..." He sighed as he handed him the letter. Cole took it in curiosity and slowly slipped it open. ".. This--.. This was with you when you were given into the children's home... It's from your parents. We were waiting until you were older so that you could understand it better." He said, tightly squeezing Miranda's hand.


He pulled it out and then read over it. His face went from excited to sheer heartbreak in a matter of minutes.


'Dear, Cole.


If you're reading this, it shows that your parents have had the decency to show you the truth. I am your biological father, and I have some explaining to do.



I can only say some things. I'm sorry. Sorry that I left you and threw away a life that you could have had with I and your mother. I hope things are going well for you, and I hope that your family is a good one filled with love, wealthy, and supporting. It's the least you deserve. The reason you are not with me and your mother is because of what's happened in the past, and we didn't want to expose you to any of it.



I'm sorry, Cole. May this curse never find you.



- Dad.'






Cole looked heartbroken. He dropped the letter onto the floor and covered his face with his hands and leaned forward, sniffling as he did so - he was trying to hold back the tears, but it wasn't working very well. (@Soul OMU)
 
Miranda bites her lip as she holds Brandon's hand tightly in her own, feels horrible about keeping this from him.


 
Olivia giggles and claps her hands as she hops oto the bed and onto George's lap. "Okie dokie, let's watch tv." She said as she curled up.
 
George smiled and then shuffled back against the headboard of his bed and took the TV remote from his nightstand. He flicked the TV on and then flicked to the cartoon channel and lied back a little bit, hugging Olivia with both arms. ".. I hope you like cartoons. When we used to go to school before the Summer, on weekends I'd lie in bed in the mornings and watch these cartoons all day." He grinned. "You're gonna' be comin' to my school after the Summer, ain't that cool?!" He said, joyfully.


--


".. Son..." Brandon sighed and put one arm around Miranda. He knew this was paining her to watch - He wasn't sure who was hurting most, though - Cole or Miranda. He was pretty upset himself, but he was holding back the tears for the sake of both of them. ".. Miranda... Why don't you go ahead and tell Cole how much he's done for this family?" He turned to her and put on the best smile he could. (@Soul OMU)
 
Olivia smiles a bit and snuggles into him. "Yeah! That's super cool and I can't wait." She said while looking up at him brightly before giggling. "Really? All day just watching cartoons?"


--


Miranda, tearing up, shaking a bit as she leans against him. "I-i-i..." She said softly while stuttering, holding Brandan's hand tightly, she was very broken by this day, she feared this day.
