THE HELL WE WANT

Bellamy Blake Kane had just rolled out of bed . . . literally. He hadn't been sleeping though, not at all. He had been at Braeden's place, enjoying the physical activities that came with being in a relationship. Albeit, a secret one, but that was alright. It was worth the risk. Because she was subordinate to him, there were laws that prohibited any sort of physical relations or relationships forming with those in his position -- out of risk of special favors being granted and what not. The logic was sound he supposed, but that didn't mean he agreed with it.

But the consequences of it were severe enough that Bellamy and Braeden had no intention of telling anyone. Especially not his parents. Speaking of which, Bellamy had realized that he was running a bit late to heading over to their place for dinner. Despite Bellamy having his own apartment, they all worked to have a family dinner at least once a week. Most of the time his grandmother was also able to come, but if he remembered correctly, tonight she wouldn't be able to make it. Which meant, that he had better hurry.

Usually his hair was slicked back but he didn't have the time. He quickly got dressed, and quicky ran his hand through his curls to try and somewhat tame them. Last thing he needed was for his parents to know what he had been doing. Despite his age, he still didn't want to piss them off. Saying goodbye to Braeden, he made his way to his parents place, punching in the code before casually entering. "Hey mom. Dad," he greeted and announced, closing the door behind him. Checking the time he was relieved to see that he was only a couple of minutes late. Not enough to cause any sort of suspicion.

Aurora was done with her work quickly that day. She had no reason to do much, but she wanted to do something. As a mother to be she had given up her initial job and worked as a seamstress, which she learned from her grandmother. It was easier while having a young child at home. It kept her husbands back free and gave their son security. It was the best they could do. Both of them knew everything would be okay at home as long as she was there. Though Aurora wasn’t cut out for life on Alpha Station.

She wandered, often, to meet people she loved and cared about on factory. Sometimes she took food with her, gave it to those in need as she didn’t have to worry about it at all with her husband and her son. She didn’t need much, she was used to handling it all carefully, to rationing it. It was what she did. Today, though, she had made plenty. Sometimes the family just had to get together, to eat together, be happy together and remember together. Vera helped as well. In the future that would probably change as well as Vera didn’t exactly get any younger and Aurora was preparing – and therefore saving – in order to make sure she would be as happy as she was now even when she grew old and weak. 

The two women were just placing the food on the table when the door opened, revealing her disheveled son. Very disheveled. Versa reaction was faster than hers. She giggled at the state of her grandson. Aurora herself could barely contain a giggle.

“Marcus! Bellamy is here.” And hell she was curious to see if Marcus would notice or mention anything to Bellamy. “So, you haven’t come from work, Bellamy. Sit down.”

“Marcus! Bellamy is here.” Marcus had just been changing his clothes as he recently came home from work his own self, and when his wife called, he quickly finished and walked out to join the others. As he passed by his mother he gave her a light kiss on her temple, before giving a more lingering hiss on his wife's head. His arm stayed on Aurora's back when he looked up and noticed his son. Clearly this was not a look Marcus would have tolerated his son wearing when he was younger!

Marcus also recognized the look at being one of suggested his son had just rolled out of bed--though most likely not his own. Marcus wasn't an over bearing father, but he shot his son a knowing / slightly disapproving look over showing up to dinner still showing signs of his personal life. Once that was done however, Marcus let it go. "Anything you help with?" He asked his wife, wanting to make sure there was nothing him and Bellamy should be doing. He knew she worked hard to make these nice, but he didn't want her working to hard when he and their son could be helping out.

Bellamy supposed he shouldn't be surprised for getting busted, or called out for this. He smiled at his grandmother, her reaction one that brought forth his own bit of amusement. He was fortunate to have such a family and never took it for granted. He was still standing when his Marcus came him. It was his father's look that made him realize he had really gotten busted. Or at least that's what the look of disapproval indicated. Bellamy took a few steps to the side, closer to Vera as Marcus offered them to help with anything should they need it.

It appeared his mother and grandmother had everything under control, but Bellamy didn't feel right being the only one sitting, so he remained on his feet until the others were ready to head to thet able. "So, how was everyone's day?" He asked, hoping to divert the conversation from his disheveled state to something more general. He had worked earlier today but had not seen his father -- which wasn't uncommon. There were sometimes a couple of days that would pass where he wouldn't see his parents, which was why these weekly dinners were so important.

Even after several years of marriage, after raising a son, the ease with which the touches came these days was thrilling and comforting to Aurora. She still loved him as if it was the first day. Alone, without their family around, she found they could still make out like teenagers, so in many ways she could understand why Bellamy came in here messed up like that, but this was family dinner. His grandmother was there. Even they cleaned up to be presentable before Vera and with them Vera had obvious evidence of them sleeping together. Bellamy was walking talking evidence of their nocturnal activities. At least they were presentable. 

“No. We handled everything. Just sit down and enjoy the meal.” With that she gently pushed at her husbands back, to give him a rather clear sign that there really was nothing to do anymore. The two women had taken proper care of everything. Aurora, though laughed as her son asked about their day. “Apparently not as eventful as yours. Who is she? Or…. He?” Really she didn’t care if he was into males or females, though in this special case, she wanted to tease him. The mother pulled out her mother in laws chair before finally taking a seat as well. “Though I wouldn’t be against having an eventful afternoon like that.” While she saw Vera grin at that, she couldn’t wait to see her husbands and sons reaction at it.

Marcus moved toward his normal seat when his wife told him it was alright to sit because they had everything done. His wife normally would sit beside him, with his son on his left and his mother before him. Everything a man could want right here. Aurora was teasing Bellamy about someone, and Marcus didn't say anything until she continued and teased him. He wasn't going to react to that before his religious mother and before his son. He had no trouble showing his wife affection, but he wasn't going to hit toward his sex life with his mother sitting before him.

So instead he diverted the attention away from him. "Don't tease, Bellamy," He told his wife playfully, trying to not make eye contact with his mother after her last comment. "He might have been training, and come from the gym." Though the signs said that wasn't where he had come from, and everyone knew it. Once Aurora sat beside him, he dropped his arm over the back of her chair, so they were close beside each other.

As Bellamy sat, waiting for the rest of his family to join him, his mother asked who the person was that Bellamy had just come from. Truth be told, he couldn't answer honestly. Because the current relationship he was in was well, a forbidden one. One that could cost both him and the other person involved their careers. It wasn't until his mother's next comment that Bellamy's expression shifted a little, slightly wrinkling his nose at the suggestive remark. It was bad enough to talk about your sex life with your parents . . . a whole other issue to hear about your parents talk about their own sex life.

He could tell his father was trying to change the subject, suggesting that perhaps Bellamy was coming from the gym. Damn this was not a good way to start their weekly dinner. "Can we just drop it." It wasn't really a question, because his tone already indicated that he was not going to answer any questions about it. He glanced at his grandmother for support, because surely she wouldn't want to hear teasing remarks about her son and duaghter in law. "And . . . can you guys not talk about that, please." His discomfort was evident on the topic of his mother spending a day with his father doing . . . he didn't even want his mind to go there. "Or at least wait until dinner is over and grandmom and I are gone." Then they could do . .. whatver. Damn, Bellamy needed a new topic to discuss.

Aurora turned to the food, to let her two men discuss what they needed to discuss. They had made more than enough for all of them after all, it would last all of them for either the night or even the next day, if they kept an eye on what they were eating. All of them, knew how to deal with shortages in food and it usually was resembled in the way they treated their food. When Bellamy was younger, they didn’t adjust his rations, naturally as he needed the food to grow, but they adjusted their own. 

“Well in any case, I can imagine all of you need a good meal after a busy day.” All of them had worked hard in their own line of work after all, one way or another they all deserved a good meal and to have someone care for them. “We have made quite a lot, I think.” Well she didn’t just think so, she saw it. “So, if you want, Bell, you can take some with you for later or tomorrow. It will last us for quite a while, all of us.” Vera would take some anyway, but given how they raised Bell, he did need the invitation to take some with him. “I can get a few more spices for you. It might have not absorbed them properly, you know how it is.”
