Description

Dumbbell stared off into nothing, numb. She was gone. Zuri was gone and now he had this. Had *him*. A son.

Dumbells eyes trailed down, and sound slowly faded in as he grounded himself. The only sound was the foals soft breaths and the hum of the air-con in the apartment, cooling the hot Manehattan summer air.

The zony foal stirred ever so slightly, then settled in more comfortably against Dumbbells side, sighing.

Dumbbell caught a small smile tugging at his lips as he thought-

*'What're you sighin about, kid? You ain't got no responsibilities to worry 'bout yet...'*

His smile faded as he stared down at the foal... He looked so much like her...

Dumbbell bit down hard on his bottom lip and threw his head back to look at the ceiling as tears welled up in his eyes.

*'She was sick. Why didn't she terminate the pregnancy? She shoulda known. Did she carry the foal causea me? I woulda told her to prioritise herself...'* Thoughts raced through his head rapidly. *'Is this some kinda divine punishment for bein such a lil shit? Some kinda punishment- they caught some innocent foal up in my shit.'*

His eyes trailed the softly glowing blades of the magifan on his ceiling- counting rotations like his therapist said to count his breaths. He tried. And tried. And tried and tried and tried. But it all caught up. And he cried- no- *sobbed*. Quiet, wheezing sobs. He buried his face into his sons coat and cried.

After a while, his sobs calmed to sniffles, tears streaming down his face every now and again. He stared off into nothing once more, focusing on the feeling of his sons breaths.

Parenthood was gonna be hell.
