The Portal (1)

"Mum?" Desmond called out as Lucas picked Imani up after she slumped against him and started to head towards them. He had felt completely out of place when it seemed like Lucas and his mum were going to fight and he had wanted it to stop but he didn't want her to pass out.

"Hi Lola," came a familiar voice from behind him and he instantly came to a stop before turning around while Lucas gritted his teeth, wondering if Willard would say the same things his wife said.

"Dad," he muttered when he saw the man and Willard gave him a smile as he got up from the couch while Lola threw the paracetamol tablet in her mouth, swallowing it with water from the bottle she was holding. "Oh my God."

"Desmond," Willard said in an affectionate voice as Desmond quickly tackled the man in a hug. Lucas had actually been expecting to pass through the man like Imani had done last night so he was a little bit surprised when he had actually been able to hug him.
