Sonia bounced excitedly as Jerry the mouse blew up Tom the cat. "Daddy."
"Yes, Sweetie?", Blair answered distractedly as he made new notes on his dissertation.
"Tell them that they can't do that to the kitty."
"What makes you think that I can do something about it Sweetie?"
"Because you're my daddy and you're big and strong and can do anything."
Blair chuckled as he sat down his pen and turned towards his daughter who was currently watching Tom and Jerry cartoons on the bedroom room tv. "Okay honey, I'll give them a call and tell them that they can't do that to
the kitty."
"If, if the kitty loses his job can we have him?"
"I don't know about that Sweetie. Why don't you run along downstairs and finish watching your cartoons so I can finish my work?"
"Your homework daddy?"
"Yes Sweety."
"Okay bye daddy." Sonia skipped out of the room and down the stairs holding onto the rail tightly.
Sonia's cartoons were interrupted by the sound of someone knocking on the door. She tried to call her dad but he wasn't answering so she decided to answer the door herself. "Who is it?" No answer just a louder knock. Sonia
pulled opened the door. William Ellison stood there in a black suit and a handerkerchief in his hand.
"Can I come in?"
"Yeah, my daddy's upstairs doing his homework, do you want me to go get him?"
"Not right now, I want to talk to you first."
"Talk? About what?"
"Do you know that you shouldn't be alive, that you were an accident and that I promise that it will never happen again?"
"I don't know what you mean."
William walked over and picked Sonia up by her arms and began to shake her. "You and your little brother are freaks and should be destroyed. And the erson that you call dad is just some little neo hippie punk that my boy just uses to warm his bed."
"Your hurting me." Sonia whimpered in between sobs.
"Goo..."
He never got to finish the word he was about to say when Sonia instantly disappeared from his hands and the next thing he knew he hit the wall with a resounding thud that echoed throughout the loft . First he thought that it
was his son that hit him until he saw Blair Sandburg bending down and trying to comfort the crying little girl. "You'll regret that you did that you little faggot", William said as he dabbed at the faint trail of blood that
ran down his lips.
If Sonia wasn't in the room he would have killed the bastard with his own two hands, how dare he put his hands on her? With his rage barely contained he turned and faced William Ellison. "I regret nothing, if Sonia wasn't here
I'd make sure you went flying off the balcony on your way out. I suggest you leave before I change my mind about doing that."
"You can't stop me from seeing my son."
"I do wanna stop you from seeing him but not him from seeing you."
"What?"
"After I tell him what you just did, he's going to hunt you down like the dog that you are, if you think that I hit you hard just wait til he gets his hands on you."
"You don't scare me. You and those kids are an abomination of science and should be destroyed. My son is only here because you're just a little slut."
"Leave now." Blair growled his final warning.
William Ellison got up from his position on the floor and walked to the door. "This isn't over", he said as he sized Blair up one last time and left.
"Daddy?" The voice was small and hurt and it registered through his rage filled mind.
"Let me see your arms Sonia." Blair gently examined his daughters arms and felt his anger grow again when he saw a large red handprint forming on both arms. He touched them gently.
"It still hurts daddy." Sonia weeped.
"Shhh come on Sweetie let daddy put something on it."
Two hours later Blair gently shifted the sleeping form of his daughter on his chest and wrapped her purple blanket tighter around her. He was finally able to soothe her and get her to take a nap.
Jim balanced a few bags on his shoulder as he opened the loft door with his key and pushed the stroller through. "Hey Chief", Jim said as he bent down and gave his lover a kiss. "You'll never believe the gifts that I got for
Alec's first birthday. I even got something for.." Jim stopped when he saw Sonia still red tear streaked face. "Blair what happened?
Jim sat and listened as Blair told him what had happened.
