[Marcus Kane]

Marcus picked up something and moved it somewhere else. He had done this a few times and couldn't even remember what he had in his head right now. Three days ago, his old lover had come to him and told him that she'd given birth to his son, and then kept the news from him. This would have been shocking, but add in the fact that this happened 20 years ago, and it had left Marcus in a tail spin.

He had a son. An adult son. And he was coming here to meet him in any moment. Marcus stopped and straightened his coat, before running his fingers in his hair. Again. That was when the knock came. He was here. Bellamy Blake. Walking over to the door, Marcus paused before opening it wide to allow his . . . to allow his son to enter. Waiting until he was in and the door was shut, Marcus finally spoke. "Thank you for coming." To meet him here, rather then Marcus going to him. He wasn't ready to face Aurora again. Not after a 20 year lie. He looked over him, taking in the very sight of him. He looked so much like himself. How had he never thought this was his son?

Seeming to realize he was staring, Marcus looked away and tried to pull in his emotions. When he looked back at Bellamy, he nodded his head. "I should uh . . . I should apologize for not being there." And it made him both devistingly depressed, and uncontrollable enraged that she had taken this from him. His son!
