sits and watches as they splash around in their little pool. ;w;

notices Antonio Jr starting to fall asleep (just like his father) and starts to cry

picks the little guy up and dries him off with his own special towel so he doesn't drown

Loviono?

Y-yes?

noticed that he was crying. "Hey, what's going on?"

quickly tries to wipe his tears. "N-nothing! I'm fine...just playing with my children. See?"

points to the turtles

nods. "Yeah, I see that."

Ok...well, that's what's going on.

Mind if I join you then?

N-not at all.

sniffles

Antonio would just barge in and be his stupid self and make things fucking right again.

Is there a reason why you're out here alone?

Because Antonio's not here.

tries to hold back tears

Will tomato bastard Antonio be there?

frowns. "Where is he?"

I don't fucking know!

He's probably just busy with work.

No that's not it. He would've fucking said something.

trying his hardest not to start crying around her

continues to frown. "Lovi...."

What?

How long has he been gone?

For...f-four days.

sniffles

Hey... it'll be okay.

can feel tears rolling down his face and wipes them away quickly. "Y-Yeah! I'll be fucking fine without that dumbass!!!"

can feel tears on his cheeks and wipes them off quickly. "Y-yeah! I'm fine without that dumbass!"

reaches over and places a hand on his shoulder. "Is that how you really feel?"

Of fucking course!!!!

totally lying

Are you sure?

Y-Yeah!!!

he's lying to her, but ignores it. "So, how are the kids doing?"

starts to take each of his children out to dry to distract himself from crying.

stands there by him, but doesn't leave because she's worried.

starts drying them one by one, Antonio Jr already in his lap...first Lovino Jr, then Feli, then Toledo, then Tomato...and bursts into tears.

kneels down by him. "Hey, hey Lovi, you don't need to cry, it's okay..." she mutters, patting him on the back.

tries talking through his sobs, "W-why the fuck did that bastard leave me?! He said he wouldn't f-fucking leave! I HATE HIM!!!"

sighs quietly, and tries to comfort him. "Shhh, you don't mean that. You don't hate him. I'm sure he had a good reason for leaving and

be back soon"

shakes his head no and hugs Antonio Jr almost a little too tightly...

That bastard probably went off to someone new...

I don't think he's the type of person that would do that to you.

T-THEN WHY THE FUCK IS HE GONE!?!?

I don't know.

Then he could be fucking anywhere!

You just have to wait a little. I'm sure he'll come back to you.

H-He better or I'll be so fucking mad I'll kill him a hundred times over.

I'm sure you will. Do you need anything in the mean time?

No...but thanks anyway...
