Promises made; part one

Crushed by what he just saw Clyde didn't know what to do with himself as he was down in the lobby leaving the hospital all together.

'Lucas was the father after all' Was all he could think as he remembered the baby's eyes glowing a bright silver staring at him as it's power damn near putting him unconscious.

Master Embrues stayed behind to talk to Lorraine about how raising the kid would go about since it's half human...half supernatural...half Lorraine and half tainted supernatural.

"Your hatred for me leaks from you like a broken pipe Clyde" A all too familiar voice said from behind him as he stopped dead in his tracks "Even if I did had that much hatred Lucas...it wouldn't matter, since the consequences of your actions will potentially cost you your life"

"And the life of a child that has nothing to do with it, I know you're more reasonable than old man Embrues Clyde, which is why I'm trusting you to help her" Lucas said as Clyde turned around confusion written all over his face.

"What?! What are you saying? Are you leaving Lorraine? Are you so cowardly?!! You can't even face the music?!"

"It's not that I want to I have to it's for her own safety!" He said while pushing him out the slide open doors as they stood in the cold outside air "This will be the second child that I've had outside of tradition, I don't know if they found the first one but if they find out about the kid and Lorraine being made and stemmed from me they will be killed and I know you don't want that" He finished as Clyde looked off to the side trying to figure it all out.

"Okay, what do I do?" Clyde asked as the wind blew harder as if trying to push the both away from each other "You'll help Lorraine raise him in exchange I leave and not endanger neither one and you get what you was supposed to have...a family with Lorraine" He finished as Clyde nodded his head in agreement.

"I'll raise the kid as my own and you will stay away to keep them both from harm, where is the first child?" He asked as Lucas chuckled nervously "You see that's where the tricky part comes in, he's not here" He said as Clyde looked confused.

"What do you mean not here? As in on this side of the coast?" He asked while Lucas shook his head in the negative "I mean that he's not on this planet or universe" He finished while chuckling nervously.

Clyde's facial expression was speechless, he didn't like the guy all that well but some thing's just had to be handled in a adult manner...example the conversation they was having at that very moment.

"So let me get this straight not only are you about to be the worse dad on THIS planet but your a shit no good dad on ANOTHER planet or universe" Clyde said as Lucas nodded slowly "Yeah that sums it all up" He replied back while shrugging his shoulders as Clyde punched him in the face.

"You MORON!" Clyde shouted angrily as he walked over to Lucas to pick him up and set him straight "This isn't something that you should consider normal! for a top tier being your decision making skills are bottom tier, why can't you realize that your actions have consequences?!" Clyde screamed at him as Lucas as his head hung low.

"Because I only wanted a family...where I'm from there's only few of us and everything is done by tradition, I thought if the kids had a little human in them they'd probably probably turn out more human but I was wrong" Lucas finished as Clyde frowned.

"Okay...I'll do my best and be the father that I can be to your son and even the other if I so happen to cross his or her path one day somehow" Lucas nodded slowly as he walked away from Clyde.

"If you ever did somehow come across the other...know there's a magatama around his/her neck it'll light up whenever they was to ever get around each other" Lucas finished as he stepped into the shadows and became gone from sight.

Even though this wasn't how he wanted to win against Lucas he knew this was something serious and to leave it up to another man to raise your child is another thing too...the amount of pride you'd have to swallow to do that was insurmountable.

Clyde gathered his baring and knew it was time to step up to the plate a new challenge was given to him and he has just accepted it.

He made his way back to the hospital room to see Master Embrues still there as he walked into the delivery room to see Lorraine holding the child.

Dark red hair like the father and emerald green eyes like the mother as Clyde could see the innocence in them while stepping closer towards the bed seeing Lorraine giving him a nervous look.

"What you name him?" Clyde asked as she looked at the miracle in her hands as she smiled slightly "I named him Zero...after my grandfather and he's strong like his father and beautiful like him too" She said while tears came down her face looking at her child.

"I made a promise...." Clyde began to say as he continued to look at the baby "I will take your father's place so you and your mother can live in peace..." He said to him now looking at Lorraine.

"And to protect you" He said while not breaking eye contact as Lorraine gave him a loving smile "Thank you Clyde, for everything" She said while giving a soft kiss on the right cheek.
