Different...

"Wanna go now?" He asked softly, leaning on his lover.

"Sure.." He nodded, squeezing Angel's hand and lifting him into his arms.

Angel hissed, patting his stomach lightly.
"Damn it hurts." He whined softly.

Gabriel caressed it gently as he made his way to Dustin's home.

Dustin let them in, by now he let Cade out of the room, he trusted him enough.
Angel sat with Dustin, hiding in a way.

Gabriel picked him back up.
"You're comin with me babe." He nodded, finding Cade in the kitchen.
"momma?" The boy raised an eyebrow.

Angel just stared at him before bursting into tears.
His baby boy....

Cade opened his arms and Gabriel let Angel go in them. Cade held his mother close, being careful when his father warned him about his stomach.
"M-Momma..."

Angel cried harder, he hadn't heard his son speak in two years...his voice...
Called him momma.
"M-My baby!!"

"I miss you momma." Cade whispered.

Angel cried harder, hugging onto his baby.
"I-I miss you too!! Oh baby...you got taller..."
He looked so much like his father.

"I miss you too momma... so much... yeah I did." He hugged onto his mother tightly. "Why'd you stop visiting me..."

'B-Because you di-didn't want me here!! You said so!" He cried hard into his son's chest.

"I was just upset... you kicked me out of my own house momma..."

"F-For your own good!! Your life is be-better here!!" Angel cried softly.

"not without my momma it isn't..." He sighed softly.

Angel sniffled, blinking at Cade.
Was that why he didnt want to go? Because of him?

Yes... his mother was everything.
"I need you momma..."

"O-Oh baby...my baby boy...." Angel pressed close, shaking his head.
"I need you to b-baby but...I-I cant let your daddy hurt you an-anymore.."

Gabriel stood back during the conversation, looking away.
"But I don't care momma... I want you..."

"I-I do care..." Angel sniffled. "Baby I care to mu-much to let it continue...I wont let you b-be hurt again...And he wont st-stop and n-neither will you!"

"But momma... ithurts more that I can't live with you anymore...."

"I know...B-But..." He looked at his lover, pain clear on his face.
"Wh-Why cant you bo-both stop...your ki-killing me..."

Gabriel said nothing, looking down at the floor.
Cade looked over at his father before sighing.
"He's going to keep hitting you and I can't just sit back and let it happen..."

"Then you ca-cant come home!! Do either of you un-understand what this means to me? I cant ta-take the beating a-and everything bu-but I-I need you both i-in my life! I-I cant do this!"
