A Noah Gray and Gabriel Gray father-son bonding thing. XD

I kinda loved Gabriel's parental moment, for the brief time it was there. Noah can be like any age and it can be heartwarming, angst, funny, whatever you want to do. :-)

It started out as a normal breakfast. Gabriel had made his son his favorite meal. Waffles. Afterward would be Saturday morning cartoons, and then a trip the library. Their traditional Saturday routine. But then Noah broke routine. And Gabriel hated breaking routine.

"Daddy, where’s my Mommy?”

He paled a little, his fork dropping at that question. He pressed his lips a little before answering. “She’s off in a better place now, buddy.” Which wasn’t a lie. She had died during childbirth. He liked to think Elle was in heaven now. A real angel. The thought gave him comfort in harder moments.

“Well, can you get her back, please? All the other kids have ‘em.”

He laughed awkwardly. “I wish I could, buddy. I tried that, but I looked back before we had left the Underworld.”

The kid furrowed his forehead in confusion. “You say weird things, Daddy. Just get her back, okay?” And he set his fork down, running off to go play with Mr. Muggles.

Gabriel sighed, taking his glasses off as he rubbed his temple. If only it was that simple.

I couldn't resist. I love Greek myths, especially that one. Poor Orpheus.

And after that he wailed so much, he drove people crazy and was torn to pieces.

Poor guy.

Okay, so much win for the reference because that is my favorite myth ever. He went through all that and then at the end--he didn't have enough faith.

I also like the tragedy of this piece. I wonder what kind he tried to do to stop it. (lol more please?)

I really loved their relationship, Gabriel so protecting, and still Noah so questioning (innocent too).

Thanks for writing this for me, I loved it. :-)

It's one of my favorite myths too, and it's easy enough for me to picture Gabriel as an Orpheus like figure.

I have a few ideas of what he might have done. Maybe I'll go back and write that story someday.

I'm so glad you liked it. I really enjoyed writing it.
