My Guardian Rose

Chapter 158: Father, O Father

I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him... I kept thinking as I walked with Sandy, Emma and our 'daughter' over to the Sparring Hall. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Lance with Mark and Ice watching over him, and I silently tripped him up with a shadow. Sandy and Emma snickered silently while Rosie went unaware. We met up with the others in the Sparring Hall, and they all looked at Rosie expectantly. "Are you okay, sweetie? Did it go alright?" Jamie asked worriedly, and Rosie smiled faintly and nodded. "Mark an' Ice are watchin' over 'im righ' now. Nova, Nanna, you two're gonna watch 'im tomorrow, a'right?" They both nodded firmly. "Phil, Tooth, I would like t' speak with both o' ya in the back room." She left Sandy, Emma and I's side and led the two into the back, shutting the door behind them. "Pitch, are you alright? You're clenching your fists." Cupcake mused, and I forced myself to relax. "Don't worry, I'm just planning that son of a bitch's death if he fucks with my daughter." Bunny burst out laughing. "What?" I huffed as a few others chuckled. "You called her your daughter..." Katherine said softly with wide eyes. "Yes, so?" Everyone sobered up and Sandy took my hand. "Wait... You didn't misspeak..." I rolled my eyes. "No, I didn't. Sandy and I have taken her on as our daughter. That's why she called me 'daddy' earlier. He's 'papa', by the way." Sandy nudged me with an amused smile. "P-Pitch?" I looked at Ombric questioningly. He looked sad. "For the sake of all of us... Don't lose this one." My blood ran cold and Sandy tensed beside me, glaring at Ombric. I stared off into space for a moment, reliving memories of my actual daughter. I shook my head clear after a moment, letting go of Sandy's hand and melting into the shadows.

I glared death at Ombric when Pitch faded away with a sad expression. After a few seconds of glaring him down, I flicked him off and exited in a puff of golden sand to find Pitch. After a few minutes of searching, I found my lover curled up on our bed. I rapped a knuckle against the doorframe to alert him of my presence, and he turned sad eyes to me as I made my way over to him. "Hello, love. Sorry for my abrupt exit, I-" I pressed my lips to his before he could finish his sentence, kissing his eyelids afterwards. "You're a wonderful father, Pitch. It wasn't your fault what happened that one time, but it most certainly is not going to happen again." He sniffed before smiling and nodding, giving me a soft kiss in return. I pressed him down gently into the bed and kissed his neck lightly, causing him to shiver. "You know what I think... I think you just need to relieve some stress." I ran a hand down his side as I sucked on his neck, and Pitch moaned softly and draped an arm over my back. "Mmhm..."
