Chapter 26
Theodore was standing outside a house he a.s.sumed was his parents new home with Rose and Icy.
Rose was in his arm wearing a cute little white sundress with a salmon-pink cotton sunhat.
Theodore was wearing a loose white s.h.i.+rt, dark blue jeans with a cap and sungla.s.ses.
Theodore's clone had Icy on a leash with a big grey suitcase in the other hand.
The building in front of him was made entirely out of s.h.i.+pping crates.
It was obvious that it's s.h.i.+pping crates as the walls had that wavy feature that is common with s.h.i.+pping crate.
Painted a rich brown with a glossy black outline along the edges giving it a modern log cabin feel.
At the front of the hours was a small stream of water that went around the house with a stone bridge over going to the door.
The door was the s.h.i.+pping crate doors that were reused an turned into a smooth and fully functional modern-day door with a bra.s.s knocker and a doorbell.
Rose looked at the odd home and said while pointing at it "Granpa, Grandma?"
Theodore gave an awkward smile and said "Yes, we'll at least I think it is? Do you wanna knock?"
"Yes," Said Rose as a grabbed bra.s.s handle and pushed it against the door a few times.
"Now press the doorbell," Said Theodore after not hearing any movement from inside.
Rose clicked the b.u.t.ton causing a loud tune to play.
*Ding, Ding, Dong*
What followed was the sound of someone dropping everything and running *Clunk, Crash, thud, thud, thud, thud*
"Slow down," Said a deep male voice
"Shut up this time it's definitely Theo, " Replied a female voice
The footsteps come to a stop as the sound of the door was unlocked.
The door swung open with great speed as a woman in her mid-forties appeared.
She had long ginger hair that was tied into a bun with pale white skin and kind grey eyes, standing at 5.8ft wearing a pair of sweat pants and a long sleeved s.h.i.+rt.
This was Theodore's Mom, Cara 43-year-old Irish women. A minor power user with the ability to produce a cool breeze from her hands.
Theodore looked at her with longing eyes and said "Hi mom"
Theodore was unsure of what to feel at the beginning but now that he's finally here he can feel the original "Theodore's" emotion bubble up with all the beautiful memories of his time with his mom and dad.
Cara eyes we're filled with tears as the corners of her lips raised to form a joyful smile "Its good to see you again, son"
She wiped her tears quickly seeing the little girl in Theodore's arms and said "h.e.l.lo, Rose I'm Grandma"
"Grandma?" Asked Rose while looking up Theodore in search for an answer
"Yep," Said Theodore before taking her sunhat off so that his mom can get a better look.
"Hi, Grandma," Said Rose with a wave of her hand and smile.
"Can Grandma hold Rose?" Asked Cara with excitement and nervousness shown in her shaky hands.
Rose looked back at Theodore who was smiling and nodded towards her request.
Cara tool Rose into her arms and gave a light squeeze before giving her kiss the head while saying "I have a grandkid!"
"Woof, Woof" Barked Icy feeling left out
Rose pointed at her four-legged friend and said "This Icy, my dog"
"Wow, h.e.l.lo Icy have you been protecting Rose?" Said, Cara while
"Grrr woof," Said Icy as if imitating his methods of protection which gained a grateful smile from Cara.
They were then escorted to the living room and sat down on a long couch with two singular churches on the other side.
The living room was fairly simple and small with the back wall as a
Theodore's dad was already sat down wearing a pair of cargo shorts with a cotton collar s.h.i.+rt.
He had a smooth bald head with a round face that matched his rather large nose and hazelnut eyes.
His body was similar to that of Theodore 7 days that being a typical Dad bod, consisting of around beer belly and thick limbs.
His dad's name is Mark and he is 45 years old. Mark is also Super-power holder as he has the fairly well known telekinesis ability with it he can lift up to 300 Lb (136.078Kg) of weight.
Much like Theodore his parents also married at a young age, with Mark being 22 and Cara being only 19.
Theodore's mom, Cara was pregnant with Theodore at 20.
Rose was sat on Cara's lap as she looked at Mark with a confused look before saying "Grandpa?"
Mark showed an enthusiastic smile as he clapped and said "That's right, wow your so clever. Cara let me hug her will ya"
"Hehe," Said Rose with a giggle.
Cara replied hugging Rose a bit tighter and said: "Later Rose likes being with grandma"
"Come on, Cara she's my grandkid too," Said Mark in a pleading voice
"Fine, Grandpa wants to hold you too, is that okay" Said Cara while looking Rose who nodded happily
Rose then reached out her hands towards Mark and said with an innocent voice "Grandpa, hug"
Marks' heart stopped for a moment seeing that cute little face call out to him with such purity.
Mark swooped her off his wife's lap, hugged her then kissed her all over face and said "Such cute and smart kid. You did good Theo"
Theodore sighed in relief as he was fully expecting a thras.h.i.+ng from his Dad.
Cara looked her at her now young adult son and asked: "How have you been since, you know?"
Theodore replied in a happy "A lot better than I thought. Some things just don't work out and that's fine cause I still have Rose"
"Did you try to talk to her about it?" Asked Cara
"Many, so much so that I've lost count and most of those turned into just her being defensive and shouting to prove her point. Mom, seriously I'm better than ever and so is Rose" Said, Theodore sincerely
"That's good just remember if you ever feel like it's getting too much you can come to us," Said, Cara
Mark pa.s.sed Rose to Cara and left kids show running before saying "Theo, let's talk"
Mark stood up with Theodore following him through the sliding door into the garden.
Mark walks into a little shed before coming out wearing a pair of boxing mitts.
He looked at Theodore and said "Do you still remember that time I tried to get you into boxing"
Theodore smiled and said "Yeah, I think I was 9 or something"
Mark stood side on with hands ups "Good show me what you remember"
Theodore smile, he gave his shoulder a quick roll to lose it up before he stood side on with his fists up covering his chin.
"1,2" Said Mark
Theodore through a quick jab before following it up with a cross.
"1,2,3,2" Said Mark
'Jab-Cross-Hook-Cross' Thought Theodore as he did as he was told
"1,6,3,2. how did you feel when she left" Asked Mark
"Disappointed," Said Theodore in a low and rough tone 'Jab-Right uppercut, Left hook, Right hand body'
"1,2,5,2 Do you know what she's up to " Said Mark
"Don't know, don't care" Said Theodore while throwing punches before getting hit on the side of his head "Urgh"
"Look at my shoulder if you can't see where it's coming, Theo," Said Mark before throwing a bunch of swipes and punches.
Theodore calmed himself down before quickly dodging all the strikes.
They went back and forth with striking and dodging with Theodore switching between Southpaw and Orthodox.
Mark got tired and said "It's normal to be angry at her but make sure that it does not redirect it onto Rose"
"Got it, thanks dad," Said, Theodore as he slumped down on the floor
Mark then pulled out an envelope which appeared to be always on his person as he said "This should help a bit in starting a new"
Theodore pushed it back into his hands as he replied "Dad, I'm good. I have a stable income of a grand a day. Also Rose and I have moved into a place nearby. You guys should come over"
"Huh? a grand a day, where are you working?" Asked, Mark
"Oh, I'm a streamer. So how did you and mom manage to move here, and did you guys build this" Said Theodore while looking at the house
"A distant relative of ours pa.s.sed away and left us the land at $20,000. You don't need to worry you don't know them and neither did I before having to sign for the will. Cara was still stressing over you at the time so to get her mind off you I had the idea of building a home together. So what's streaming?" Said, Mark
"It's a live video with a virtual audience. I basically entertain them and they reward me. Don't worry it's nothing s.e.xual. I draw, tell stories, give my opinion on things and do magic tricks" Said Theodore
"Oh so where can I find your stream," Asked Mark as he pulled out a small metal rod which then opened up with the hologram interface of your every day phone.
"On the WideView app or on the website. My channel name is..um.. " Said Theodore as he began stutter remembering his embarra.s.sing name.
Mark had just downloaded the app and just auto-filled the email and put in his name as MakieMark before getting to the homepage.
He clicked on the search bar and asked "Come on what's the name"
"Let me put it in" Said Theodore as he grabbed the phone out his dads hand
Theodore then put in his name "All-Mighty-Dad"
He then gave it back before hearing his dad chuckle and then go into a laughing fit "Haha All-Mighty Dad, seriously Theo. G.o.d your naming sense still sucks as always"
"Shut up, it just sought of happened. I'm gonna go check on Rose" Said Theodore while walking off feeling completely embarra.s.sed
"Hahaha sure thing All-Mighty Dad," Said Mark as he held his stomach
