Tony took the orange juice from Áine, not even planning to ask where it came from as he took a short sip before almost choking on it as he realized just why did this man in front of their door, who didn't appear much older than his own mother (admittedly, she looked 30 and at times 40), look so similar to Áine. However, luckily, he did not choke. To say he was 'mildly' surprised when Aw slammed to the door into the man's face would be to say nothing.
"Was that--? Was that your father?" - he asked, unsure of what to think and just to make sure. Then again, he couldn't really blame Aw. If Antonia came to his door, he would've slammed them in her face as well. And then probably made a run for it, but then again, Antonia was a shapeshifter and Sam was 'merely' a human... Who probably wouldn't spend two minutes alive in Octavia's presence (I mean... the child made a habit of biting the heads off her toys) let alone in presence of some other creatures. He dreaded to even think of Rashida or, god forbid, his other mother. No, just... some other time, maybe. (He would probably get mauled by Antonia by the end of the hour... And he would maul Rashida. Maybe in reverse order though. Redhead was always quite protecting of the blonde).
"What is he doing here?" - he asked, leaning slightly to Áine as banshee was holding him by the waist. Tony honestly had no idea what else to say. Was that man still waiting outside? Poor bastard

Aw was angry. He was right to be, remembered all those days his young self longed for this father, all the days his teen self hated him for leaving him and Amanda alone with Deirdre. How he hated his father, at that time.
He was angry, but he should be [/i]angrier[/i]. Aw should be fuming, furious. Should be punching Sammy in the face, screaming bloody murder at him, should want to stab him to death and dance around his body (like he wanted before), but all he felt was anger and a vague annoyance towards him.
"Yes.", the banshee answered Jamie, moving his arm to the shifter's neck. His father was at his door. "My father, at the door."
Aw should be angrier. But he was, you know, kind of happy instead. He frowned. He didn't want to be happy, he wanted to be furious. But. But. But.
But Sammy came. Dragged his human body to the middle of freezing nowhere to a place full of monsters and god how did he convince Rashida to let him in? How many times did the banshee dream about his father doing the thing he just did? He should be furious, he reminded himself. The banshee closed his eyes and hugged Tony's neck, sucked in a deep breath and turned to open the door again as Scanlon started tugging at Tony's trousers.
He started to say something, but then the man interrupted him.
------
Sammy was still standing outside their room, shocked. Was that - did he-- was his son wearing heels? And a ribbon? Fucking Amanda. Fucking Amanda and he wouldn't ever admit this to anyone but his son was kind of adorable. Sammy wanted to hug him, for god's sake.
He needed a cigarette. He needed a whole pack of cigarettes. Or two. Or ten. Fuck.
The damn kid was a black-haired fucking copy of Amanda, and Samuel's lugs felt like they were being squeezed out of him. He missed her.
Maybe coming here was a bad ide--
The boy opened the door. Sammy decided that, if that was the lest time he'd see his son, fuck you because he was not going to wonder about him for nineteen fucking years to see him just once. He frowned at the boy. And asked a very important question. "Who the fuck named you, kid? Seriously, you have a girl's name. Tell me where the hell your fucking grandmother lives so I can kill her."
Ok, maybe that wasn't what he intended to say.

I like how Aw wonders about Rashida as if she needed much convincing ahaha I get the feeling that he thinks if her FAR higher than he should lol ]]
Tony didn't know exactly how to comfort Áine or what to say in this situation. As mentinef beforehand, at this point he would struggle for his dear life. Things worked so differently with humans.... So the redhead threw a hand over Aw, mainly to let him know that he was THERE, even though he was so useless. Then Aw opened the door once again of course Tony, being your typical Tony, was observing the man up and down once again, hoping to somewhat figure him out. Some people could do that. Tony wasn't one of those people.
Instead, he listened to what Samuel was saying. He probably wouldn't admit it even under the torture, but he agreed with Antonia. Humans sucked, badly. Weak in body, narrow-minded, unfaithful, cowardly. Except for very few exceptions that could be very well considered endangered species. Was Sam one of those? He couldn't tell, not yet.
"And wow, I thought Tia inherited insanity gene from MY parent!" - he snorted after Samuel was done, although he was only half joking. Which parent of his? Both, likely. Behind him, Octavia was now SINGING 'fveak ov nattur' and Tony rolled his eyes before picking Scan up, seeing as boy was stubbornly clinging to his leg.

Aw gave up on trying to feel murderously enraged and chuckled with Jamie. No way Tia had got her craziness from Aw's side of the family - it was definitely Rashida or Antonia. "Tom, don't be ridiculous. My family is not nearly as crazy as yours.", he said smirking. Amanda not included, obviously. She was insane. But a different kind of insane. See, she's more like let's-drink-that-entire-liquor-store kind of crazy.
The banshee sighed. "Deirdre named me, yes.", he told Samuel. "My grandmother.", he whispered to Tony, holding his hand and turning around to prepare some coffee for Samuel. After all, he was human, and was probably feeling cold even inside the academy, where Aw could wear shorts and feel just fine. He couldn't just let this man die of hypothermia, as much as he deserved it. "Come on, get in already.", he mumbled. And, of course, he blushed. But not much. Shut up.
-----
Fucking Deirdre.
Wait.
Was that-
Wait, was that--
A kid, was the dead red-headed carrying a kid? "Who's Tia?", Sammy asked, staring at Scanlon. What the never ending tortures of hell. Who was that kid. Why was he, she, whatever, doing in his son's bedroom and god damn it, Sammy couldn't believe it.
He decided not to think about it.
He followed Aw inside the bedroom and ignored the other baby as well. Or else he'd go fucking insane, that's why. He's fucking thirty four, he's too damn young for this kind of shit. Best not to think about it. Also, hm, was that a coffee machine? It was. His son had a coffee machine in his fucking bedroom. Sammy was so proud.
He took the coffee from Áine and stood besides the desk - away from the black-haired baby on the floor - and prepared himself to give that explanation he knew the boy deserved.
"Why did you choose a school's that's in the middle of fucking nowhere? Do you know how hard it is to come here when you're not a superpowerful immortal supernatural being?"
Ok, that wasn't really what he wanted to say.

Tia oh my god

Tony allowed Áine to drag him around by his hand - of course he would, after all - as he promptly ignored Octavi. Girl had stopped singing only because she stuffed the rabbit head in her mouth. Or rather, stuffed the whole ear and left the rest hanging. Then she tried to get up but toppled over and in the end she crawled toward Sammy, offering him lower part of her mutilated toy. Was that... A peace offer? A threat? She was just a child.... And yet.
"Yes those are definitely Mother's genes" - for Tony, there were two types of parents - Mother, the one that didn't deserve a name, really, save for occasional 'Antonia' (which was her middle name mind you) and Ma, the one thsy was insane but you love her all the same.
"Oh how rude of me!" - Tony half-gasped and let go of Áine so the other could make coffee while he himself approached Samuel and extended his arm towards him.
"Tony Love. It's... Uh.. good to know you." - very.. nicely put. He motioned to the kids (was Tia trying to eat Sammy?) - "These are Scanlon and Octavia."

Aw passed the cup of coffee to Samuel and decided he would not be a douche, so he answered his question. Again. "Well, I'm so sorry, father dear, but after nineteen years I wasn't really expecting to see you at all, really.", he said. And then felt a sense of pride for himself when the human pouted. "Why are you here, after all?"
He snorted as Tony went to introduce himself to Samuel. Only Tony would be so polite to someone who said at least one 'fuck' every other sentence.
Tia was bothering Samuel. Aw was very proud of her.
--------------
"Hello, Tony Love. I,", Samuel said, shoving his hand centimeters from Tony's face in the universal sign for 'stop'. "don't want to know. I [/i]really, really[/i] don't want to know.", said as an answer to Tony giving the babies' names. Sammy didn't want to know. He was doing all he could not to know what he already knew about them. No. Oh god, no.
He failed miserably again, and trying not to make any comments about how stupid having two kids at 19 was.
"You know what.", Samuel said. "I spent nineteen fucking years wondering about you and Am and I wasn't getting any younger because I'm not fucking immortal like you lot and there's no time like the present and all that shit.", he explained. "Also, nice boyfriend.", he smirked, pointing at Tony. "Also, you're really fucking dumb for having two kids at nineteen."

The redhead sighed. Perhaps Aine would react differently. Perhaps Antonia woukd try to strangle Sammy already, Rashida wouldn't care altogether and keep going. Heck he thought even Octavia would try abdattack himhim for more or less flipping him off (minus the actual action) but this was, after all, Tony Love. That one shy shapeshifter who was sat down on the lower, Kate's bed, and continued sipping the orabge juice like it was the most interesting thing in the world while Scanlon was tugging the black haired child off their grandfather.
The only time Tony actually reacted is when Sam commented on a 'nice boyfriend', by blushing deep scarlet, pretty much like his flame-like hair. He looked at Áine, uncertain if it would be alright if he told Samuel off for hypocrisy because it was HIM who had a chikd at age of 15.
Unlike her father, Tia (who was already able to salivate over half of Sammy's knee, mind you) probably sensed her father's discomfort. After all, only SHE had the right to harrass her parents. With a battle cry the small child escaped Scan's grasp and lounched herself at Sam, biting him, this time for real, in leg. Toby watched, mortified, and hoped that she didn't shift her teeth into those of animal. She wouldn't be.... She COULDN'T be that cruel.
Right?

Aw sighed annoyed at Samuel and pressed his fingers to his eyes. He then looked pointedly to Tony, as if begging him to tell Sammy how much of a hypocrite he was being. He knew Tony probably wanted to say it.
He liked it when Tony blushed, though. He liked it very much.
Also, Samuel was still looking so smug about somethin-- was that Tia biting Samuel wha-- "Tia!", the banshee exclaimed. What the- Why was Octavia acting like that, she bullied and harassed everyone all the time! But, of course, Aw had forgotten that the girl was a possessive little devil. They really needed to make her--
Aw really needed to concentrate on taking the girl's teeth out of Samuel's leg. Was that-- that was blood. Sammy was bleeding.
He was human, for gods sake! He was probably dying of blood loss or something equally stupid right now and oh god Amanda would be so upset if Samuel died.
Aw scowled and pried Tia out of Samuel's leg, with the help of Scanlon, who actually didn't help at all and just stood around crying and clinging to the human. He shifted into a red, oh god, was that an octopus?
Oh god. Aw searched and clutched Tony's hand, hoping the boy would know what to do.
Aw didn't want his father to die.
------
"Oh my god!"
Sammy didn't scream. He didn't, totally didn't scream.
Pain seared in his leg as sharp, very sharp teeth sunk into his flesh and god, it hurt, it fucking hurt, wasn't that thing supposed to be a baby, for god's sake, what the hell was that, because banshees didn't have sharp teeth they didn't trust me I'd know because Amand--
Oh god, thank god that that was still a tiny little baby, that it's teeth, it's very fucking sharp teeth were small and maybe he'd need some stitches or something but at least he wouldn't become a fucking cripple or something. All this time, Sammy didn't react, only panicked inside his own head, staring at his son without seeing him, expecting the pain to be too much, but he breathed with fucking relief when that thing was pried out of him. But-- "Oh my fucking god Áine couldn't you have had slightly less fucking mortal children?! Your fucking daughter almost bit my leg off! And take this octopus away from my leg, for gods sake, or it'll fall off or something!"
Sammy swears the pain away.
He also didn't mind the occasional shifting-into-animals, because Am liked to turn into a ferret and wrap herself on his neck, but couldn't the fucking kid hug him in a place that was a little away from his fucking flesh wound?
He turned to Tony, tried and probably failed miserably to hide his pain and produce a scowl instead. "Get a fucking doctor or something!"

Tony was hyperventivating. There was no better word to describe the lack of air he felt when his worst fear (at the moment) came true ane got so flustered that he dropped yhe glass with juice on the floor. But it didn't matter because his daughter was trying to murder a man. This certainly beat her grandmother - Antonia killed when she was 5. For all yhe irony there is - her (some sources claimed: accidental) victim was Octavia, her mother.
Shifter jumped to her feet but Tia was already so deep in.... Or maybe Sammy was just a human. Tony bled normally himself, but he rarely got injured. Rashida was dead - she didn't bleed at all. Her nevere really saw Antonia or any of his friends injured. Except for maybe al, but that was the split lip. Tony tried to pull the angry bansheefter (why was SHE angry in the first place?) Away from the human by placing a finger inside her mouth, pretty much like he would do to an animal to provoke the reflex. Miraculously, it worked abd the girl opened her mouth and Tony was able to pull her away, grabbing at her hair a little harder than he intended, but she was't harmed otherwise. So much for punishment.
Still very red in face from panic attack and lack of air, he gtabbed the animal and placed it on the floor beside himself, on opposite side of Tia.
"Come on, Scan. We can't... Shift back." - it was more of a whine than a request really, but Tony felt so beated up. It was way too early for this to be happening, the redhead thought. Then this insane, demanding human wanted a doctor and usually Tony would eat everything up and complain later... But this man ruined his day.
"My mother ate him up and you're gonna have to deal with it!" - he hissed, very Antonia-likeand perhaps even more so Rashida. Rashida dis have her hissy fits, pun intended. Then the shifter realized that this wasn't best choice of words, considering that Tia just tried to eat Sam. And he realized he was hissing at Aw's father. To say he was ashamed is to say nothing. Instead of saying anything else, he made his way to the closet, to search for the first aid kit that they had, just in case.

Aw tried to will his panic away, but he couldn't help but stare at his father's ruined leg. Not ruined, it wasn't, but his trousers were torn and red so red and as much as Samuel tried, Aw could still see shock and fear in him, and at that moment Aw hated nothing more than the way his father was fragile and breakable.
He also was quite angry with Octavia. Aw was beginning to fear what she could become when she grew up.
But Áine was a banshee: he was literally an omen of death. He didn't know anything about saving lives, he didn't know what to do, he couldn't take or save lives, he just announces it when death comes. If someone he didn't knew died, that was ok, nothing to do with him, but if someone he knew, he cared about, died, then he'd start screaming like the dead.
Twenty-six times. Twenty-six times Aw screamed when Jamie was gone. He didn't want to scream ever again.
Aw kept his mouth shut, not daring to say anything (even though he couldn't cause death and really, Sammy was definitely not going to die, there was just a lot of blood because he was human, and that's what humans do). He managed to keep both Tia and Scanlon away from Samuel and Tony as the shifter worked on the human's leg.
It didn't look so bad when he finished. Still, Aw reached for Tony with shaky hands, seeking comfort. Maybe Octavia would stop after she saw what she's done to Áine.
-------
Oh, the dead red-headed had a temper. Sammy tried not to think of Tony's mother, or that crazy shark/baby, or that crazy octopus/baby or anything at all, really, because his leg was fucking hurting and he could use some painkillers, thank you.
You know what, this was a bad idea. A fucking terrible idea, actually. He should have stayed away from the black-haired boy and his crazy monster family, and gone to see Amanda maybe, instead. At least he knew her. And the boy clearly despised hi-- wait what what was that. Was that... Was he shaking? Was the boy shaking? He was. Oh god. Why was he shaking? "Why?", he said, actually turning and talking to Jamie. "Why is he shaking? I though he despised me.", he said, frowning. "Also, feed your monster baby, ok? I'd like to keep both my fucking legs, thanks."
Aw scowled. Samuel grinned.

Tony was already halfway bandaging Sammy, although he was acting more on... was it some sort of routine? It couldn't be. Or maybe, possibly... Sure, Scan could fall over few times. Sure, he had to tend to his own wounds, not only during the Last Man Standing, but before it too. Shapeshifters were strange beings. Octavia could talk before she could walk. Scanlon could walk and talk from what appeared to be first day when he arrived. Antonia could shift into a fully grown, fully wise person (then again, all of these were exceptions - overly-talented sadistic woman and half-breeds). Tony could remember himself as a child. Himself in his early teens, perhaps a little before his 15th birthday. He could barely... he couldn't walk. So he crawled lots instead until he was able to stand straight at his own two legs. So, bandaging sort of came as a routine to him. His knees hurt just at the thought of just how much he actually scraped them.
The blood stopped flowing and it was now only the fabric that was red as Tony cleaned up around Sammy. He was able to breathe again, even though still very red in face. He got up and glared at Octavia, ignoring human's first comment in favour of taking Áine around his shoulders and hugging him close.
"He'll be fine." - he tried to assure the banshee - "Just because... because he's human. He'll be fine, because humans aren't that fragile e-either..." - he wanted to say something else, to name an example, but nothing really useful came to his mind and besides, Samuel was teasing again.
"Shut up." - he told a little bit louder, to Áine's father - "Or I'll drop you to my maneating mother as well, so you'll have to amputate the other leg." - empty threats. Empty threats. Of course he wouldn't. He wouldn't throw his worst enemy to Antonia - nobody deserved that. But how would human know? He knew nothing of Antonia, nothing of Tony's non-relationship with her. Then again, that meant he wouldn't really know that Antonia is dangerous (although Tony DID tell him that she ate their doctor... which wasn't true, but not exactly far from the truth either). Octavia made a cooing 'uuu' sound, but she closed her mouth with a pointed glare from her father, who once again tightened his hold on Áine.

Aw hugged Jamie tight and let him go, blushing embarrassed to have shown such a reaction when he was supposed to hate Samuel. He sighed and picked Scanlon up, who had retuned to his usual self and was looking at his grandparent with big teary eyes. The banshee didn't let go of one of Tony's hands, though.
Octavia was so screwed. She was going to stay with Scan, Toby and Noll instead of with Benny for this.
Aw eyed Samuel's trousers. His leg wasn't ruined, but his trousers were, the banshee thought. There was no way they could give him new ones though - they were all smaller than him. The human would just have to do with the ones he had now.
Aw sighed again.
"Come here.", he said, passing Samuel's arm over his shoulders, Scanlon clinging to his shirt, and then he helped his father walk around so he could sit on the lone bed no one used ('Cept the kids).
-----
Sammy scowled. The dead red-headed didn't answer, and threatened him again, for god's sake. He was getting tired of this, really. He's met his kid: that's all he wanted to do.
Well, no, but if you asked if he wanted to have some father-son bonding time, he would have said 'fuck no'. He would have lied, by the way.
Anyway, as much as his leg was still fucking hurting, it wasn't hurting as much as it was a couple of minutes ago, so he just tried to ignore it. Of course he failed miserably, but no one needed to know that.
He almost froze when Aw practically picked him up, but only put on a scowl again and sat on the bed. Sammy murmured a 'thanks' to Aw and to Jamie, for helping him. He gestured to the octopus-baby in Aw's arms. "This one's not gonna kill me, right? Seriously,", he looked at Aw and Tony. "What the fuck do you put on their foo--"
If the octopus-baby could turn into an octopus and the shark-baby could get pointy teeth (because he swears he saw perfectly nice teeth before she fucking bit his leg), that meat they could be shapeshifters. But Aw was a banshee....
Sammy snorted and looked at Jamie. "So that's how they were born."

I like how staying with Noll is a thread LMAO ]]
Tony wanted to say something, comfort Áine in some way, but what could he say? I'm sorry she has bad genes? My mother was even crazier? My mother killed her own when she barely 5? None of that would truly work. Besides, he didn't know how to deal with Octavia. He never knew how to deal with Antonia either... Maybe Rashida... No, Rashida. Never her. She was just... that crazy. No way that she would be the one giving them advice on raising kids (although Tony did not turn out so bad, after all).
In the end, he didn't say anything and just rubbed Áine's back slightly before the banshee pulled away. Then he helped Sam to the bed, pretty sure that the human wasn't feeling all too well in their presence. He wouldn't either. It was such luck that he hadn't met his mother along the way. He would be even more pissy, Tony supposed (of course take in mind Tony has no idea that he actually DID meet his mother and that she was what marked half of the Sammy's view on 'monsters'. Poor bastard.)
"No, he's pretty mild-mannered. Octavia is much like my father.." - he grumbled out, almost against his will, still calling Antonia his 'father', a nasty habit Rashida has passed on to him by constantly screaming 'I'm the mother! I'm YOUR mother!' while he was a child. So alright, often as a kid, he would ask her what happened to the real mother and she would get so, so, so angry, because it was her who was the mother. He did not comment on the food at all.
Actually, he was too busy looking at the floor in shame, until Sammy spoke again and Tony raised his head. The human was giving him that look and he had to shake his violently, beet red. He knew exactly what the other was thinking. He couldn't exactly blame him.
"N-No! T-That's not... T-That's not how it was.." - he shook his head few more time, but how does one tell a human that they wished upon a lighting bolt. And that they, actually... How would he believe that? Then again, he was human, he wouldn't know this wasn't normal, even for other species.
Ignorant beings, humans.
