Welcome to Gaia! ::

Darius kept a tight hold on Soka as he took to the air his large black wings beating as he fought to gain altitude. It was made all the more difficult in that he rarely ever flew. He preferred to drive, but since he didn't have a car just then he made due with what he had.

It really didn't take long for them to get to the mansion that belonged to his father. Once he was on the ground he let go of Soka and Baby. "This is my home, well, my father's anyways. Are you alright?" He asked looking Soka over then going into the mansion. "Why don't we feed Baby and then I can show you around. I have a spare room and a nursery. Never thought we would use it, but yea. My father is rarely home, so this is basically my home."

The dark angel had heard Soka's thank you, but he didn't comment on it. After all he thought that helping this male and child was something that anyone should have done.

Darius walked into the kitchen after he opened up the door and walked past the grand staircase. The kitchen wasn't anything special in his mind and he went right to the fridge and pulled out some milk. "I know its not formula, but its all I have for now. I can get some delivered so that he has what will keep him healthiest." As Darius stood there his wings vanished once again and he looked around trying to think of what he could use as a bottle. Getting a glass he put a bit of cling wrap and a rubberband over the glass and did a bit of 'magic' making the top a bottle nibble. "Hope this works out for the baby."

He handed the glass over to Soka with a half smile and sat down. "My father... well, my real father was a demon, the man that owns this house, is a human, he adopted me when he found out about my talents. He needed someone to run head of his security and to take over the business when he couldn't handle it anymore. My father, well, he is a businessman of sorts and not the kind you want to cross if you can help it."

((Yu wants Soka....))

"That could be why he is ill. Babies need either mother's milk or formula as their bodies cant digest anything else. He doesn't seem to be doing very well. I would help him if I could Soka, but I cant."

Looking at the two Darius shook his head. "You don't have to worry about that here. Your my guest. No one will question your being here, nor will they treat you poorly. Soka, is there a way to undo this curse of yours? If you wanted to have it removed of course."

"I cant say if your baby will be well or not Soka. He isn't eating much and doesn't have a very strong cry. I don't have the healing ability of my mother or I could make sure your child was strong and healthy." Darius looked a bit sad before he let out a sigh and started out of the kitchen.

"Lets go to your room, I have picked one with the nursery attached so you can always be near baby." As he spoke he walked up the stairs and went towards the guest bedroom. "Here we are. This will be your room. The nursery can be accessed from this door here." He said walking to and opening a door. My room is down the hall, but you don't need to worry about that."

"Soka, I will make sure that baby will become healthy. I don't think he is in any danger." The dark angel stated after a moment before shaking his head. "You can come to my room whenever you wish. As for baby sleeping alone, he was old enough to sleep alone when he was born. It's actually not safe for the baby to sleep in the same bed as a parent. I know you didn't have a choice, but you should get him used to sleeping alone, or he won't do so when he is older."

The man put his hand on Soka's shoulder then and gave a smile. "Remember your not a slave here Soka. You and I are equals." As he said that he removed his hand and turned going down the hall thinking he might have some clothing that Soka could fit into. He would look later, right now he was exhausted from carrying Soka to his home and wanted to rest.

Darius listened to Soka and shrugged. "Guess everyone is different. I was told it's safer for the baby to sleep in a crib by itself. The parent isn't likely to roll over on the child and such." It didn't really matter to him either way. After all, the child wasn't his and he really had no responsibility for the little boy.

Hearing the request stopped the man in his tracks. "You want me to name your son? Shouldn't you name him? I am honored you would ask me Soka, but a name is permanent and can't be changed." If the man was still insistent on having him name the baby he would have named the boy Damian or Talios. Both had been strong good men in his book and he thought either was a fitting name for a baby.

"We can put a crib in your room if you really want it, it would be best for Baby to sleep in his own room or he will get used to sleeping in the same room with you and wont sleep during the night when he does get his own room.

"Alright, I can name baby. Hmm. I have two names, which do you like more? Damian or Talios? Both names are after men I have known. Loyal, brave, strong men that I would easily give my life for."

((Im an infant teacher so I get all the information regularly for parents. It isn't safe for them as it causes suffocation risks. Having the baby in their own room, with a monitor to watch them is enough. Besides, most babies wake up several times a night to eat anyways so the parent is getting up to check on the baby. Once they start to sleep through the night the risks go down for death.))
