━ you're perfection; my only direction. it's fire on fire ━ I know she will. I’m not trying to talk myself out of this, I promise. I’m just nervous and I don’t even know why. They already know you but I’ve never introduced them to a partner before, in fact I haven’t even dated since Samara died,
Ethan nodded his head slowly, his eyes focused on the other as he spoke. "It's okay, Toni. I understand. Don't worry, okay? I'll be right there for you. I won't let you take this step alone and whatever happens, we'll deal with it together." Ethan assured him with a gentle smile resting on his lips, his blue eyes focused solely on the other. He was going to be there for him, to help him relax and know that it's gonna be okay. He doubted it would end badly, though. When he saw their reaction to seeing their dad alive again, he could easily tell just how much they loved him.
We definitely can’t have that, I know you love them, I can see it every time you look at them, I’ll hold you to that,
"Good, I hear Phoenixes can be very dangerous when they're upset." Ethan teased with a half-smile on his lips. It still felt weird. To call himself a phoenix but it grew on him. Made him feel ... strong. Powerful, even. He felt a gentle smile form on his lips when Antonio told him he knew that he loved them. That it was visible every time he looked at them. It made his heart squeeze gently in his chest, his expression softening. He chuckled when Antonio told him that he'll hold him to his words. "Okay." He said with a soft smile playing on his lips.
You could never do that, you’re not your parents and you never deserved the way they treated you, You’re amazing with the girls and I’m so glad they’ve had you through all of this, As for having one of your own I don’t see why that couldn’t happen. Ever since the girls were born I’ve always liked the idea of having more children and I’m pretty sure they would love to have more siblings one day.
Ethan's expression which had turned to rueful for a bit as he talked about the past and remembered how his parents had made him feel, soon turned into something softer as he looked into Antonio's eyes, his words of reassurance making his lips stretch to form a gentle smile. It seems like the other knew what he needed to hear without having asked for anything. It goes to show just how deep their bond was. How well they knew each other. "Thank you, Toni. That really means a lot." It was all he needed to hear and more.
"You mean like, surrogacy?" Ethan questioned, his expression turning thoughtful for a moment. "I didn't think of it that way." He added a moment later before he felt a gentle smile form on his lips. "It doesn't sound like a bad idea at all, honestly." Ethan added a moment later. His expression softened as he imagined a little version of himself running around. "I'd love to have a kid one day. It's everything I've wanted for a long time." Ethan said with a gentle smile on his lips.
"One day." He added a moment later with a nod of his head following, his gentle smile still present on his lips before he lifted his hand up to his mouth to cover his yawn. "Maybe laying in bed wasn't exactly a great idea. M'starting to get sleepy, are you?"

“I know we will, we always do,” Antonio said, a smile forming on his face as he looked over at Ethan. They had always faced whatever came their way together and he knew that that wasn’t going to change now. It had taken them a long time to get to this point and there was still so much that they had to figure out but he knew that they would do that together. This was new for him and Ethan just as much as it was going to be for the girls but they were already a family so that much at least wasn’t going to change. Ethan had slotted into the little unit that he and the girls had been ever since they were left on his doorstep pretty perfectly and he honestly believed that Eli was going to be fine with this new development the same way that Ela had said that she would be but there was only one way to find out. As Ethan spoke again, Antonio couldn’t help but laugh. “Not as bad as dragons I bet, we can cook people alive,” he chuckled. “I still wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of you though, I know how angry you can get,” he added with a grin. It was a little strange to be joking about this now considering that he hadn’t known that Ethan was supernatural when he died but then apparently Ethan hadn’t either. Antonio had always done everything he could in order to keep what he was a secret from everyone around him so if he was honest it was a relief to be able to be open about it with Ethan now. It had taken him a little time to get his head around the fact that Ethan was not only supernatural but also immortal like him but Antonio was definitely glad about that. He was so used to everyone around him getting older and dying so it was good to know that he didn’t have to worry about that with Ethan. The girls had welcomed Ethan into the family with ease and Ethan had accepted that the girls were a part of his life pretty quickly as well. Antonio had hoped that they would all get along but even he couldn’t have imagined that they would get along this well. It really was clear to him that Ethan loved the girls and for the first time he had started to feel like perhaps he wasn’t the only parent they had left after all. His own parents had reached out and tried to help when the girls were little but in the end Antonio had realised that he’d had to do this without their influence and he knew that it was the right decision for him and the girls. With Ethan it was completely different though, the two of them had always been on the same wavelength and after seeing how Ethan had stepped up and taken care of the girls after the cave collapsed he knew that he wanted that to continue. It was still clear to Antonio that Ethan was doubting himself, though, and the dragon was pretty sure that he knew why. His words started coming out on their own but he could already see that they were having the desired effect when Ethan smiled once more. “I haven’t said anything that isn’t completely true. I have faith in you even if you don’t have it yourself, I always have,” Antonio assured him. He knew that Ethan’s upbringing hadn’t been easy but he had made it through everything that his parents had thrown at him and he was an incredible guy so he knew that any kid would be lucky to have Ethan as their dad. As Ethan mentioned surrogacy, Antonio nodded. “Exactly,” he confirmed. “I actually really like the idea of having a mini you running around the place,” he admitted. Antonio knew that he was fortunate to have the girls and the two of them shared his DNA but Ethan didn’t have that yet and it was something that Antonio wanted to make happen for him. Antonio couldn’t stop a smile from forming on his face as Ethan said that he would love to have a kid one day and that it was everything that he had wanted for a long time. “After yesterday I think it’s safe to say you already have two in the girls but we’ll make it happen,” Antonio assured him, knowing that having more kids around the place was never going to be a bad thing. Ethan’s yawn was enough to start Antonio off as well and he nodded. “I am but we need to talk to the girls first. I need to make sure they’re doing ok and we need to tell them about us,” he said as he slid off of the bed and held his hands out to Ethan. “Sleep can wait.”ETHAN ALVAREZ

━ you're perfection; my only direction. it's fire on fire ━ Not as bad as dragons I bet, we can cook people alive, I still wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of you though, I know how angry you can get,
Ethan let out a soft gasp at that, his eyes momentarily widening as if he couldn't believe it. "What? That's so cool. I just die and get reborn, that's boring." Ethan's bottom lip tugged out a bit in a small pout before he shook his head. He chuckled at Antonio's words before he shook his head. He wasn't wrong there, honestly. He can definitely get angry and he was very uh... prone to violence when he got angry.
I haven’t said anything that isn’t completely true. I have faith in you even if you don’t have it yourself, I always have, Exactly, I actually really like the idea of having a mini you running around the place,
Ethan felt a small smile form on his lips at Antonio's words when he told him that he had faith in him even if he didn't. "Thank you," it felt good to have someone around him who actually believed in him. He parents never did. It always made him feel so ━ unbelievably upset He'd always wanted to be loved and believed in. But nobody ever did, except for Antonio. Ethan smiled gently when he thought of a mini version of himself running around the house. "He'd certainly be a troublemaker. I was a very problematic child growing up. Gave my parents a lot of grey hair." Ethan chuckled, the imagine making him feel happy.
After yesterday I think it’s safe to say you already have two in the girls but we’ll make it happen, I am but we need to talk to the girls first. I need to make sure they’re doing ok and we need to tell them about us, Sleep can wait.
Ethan's eyes drifted over to settle on Antonio, his words were enough to put a gentle smile on his lips. Then when he heard that they need to make sure the girls are okay and that they need to tell them about their newly found relationship, Ethan nodded and reached out for Antonio's hands to get up from his bed. "Sleep can wait," he repeated after him with a nod of his head as he gave his hand a gentle squeeze before he let them go so he could fix his clothes and run his fingers through his hair. "After you," he said with a gentle smile on his lips as he waited for Toni to head out first so he could follow him. "We got this. It'll be fine." And he believed that wholeheartedly. He believed it will definitely go well.

Antonio couldn’t stop a smile from working its way across his face at Ethan’s reaction. “I wouldn’t say it’s boring, if you weren’t able to do that then I would have lost you back then,” he admitted. That was exactly what he thought had happened and he was so glad that he had been wrong about it. Losing his best friend had been unbearable but now they were so much more than that and he was glad that Ethan had a way that made sure that Antonio wouldn’t have to worry about losing him again. He didn’t really know much about phoenixes other than that they were meant to be the enemies of his kind so he didn’t know if there was a limit on how many times Ethan could die and resurrect and if he was honest it wasn’t a theory that he really wanted to test. “Can you shapeshift or fly?” he asked, unable to deny that he was genuinely curious about what Ethan could do. He wasn’t sure just how much Ethan knew about it himself but if he wasn’t sure then that was another thing that they could figure out together. It had always been clear to Antonio that Ethan wasn’t used to being around people who cared about him. He knew that the guy’s parents hadn’t exactly been the caring type and they had tried to turn their only son into the person that they thought that he should be regardless of whether that was what Ethan wanted or not. That wasn’t him, as long as Ethan was happy then he was happy and he wasn’t afraid to tell Ethan that he had faith in him. Ethan had had his back time and time again while they were fighting in the war and since coming back into each other’s lives that hadn’t changed. Ethan could have walked away after the cave collapsed but he hadn’t done, he had returned home and looked after the girls and Antonio was eternally grateful to him for that. As Ethan spoke again, Antonio couldn’t help but laugh. “I can believe the troublemaker part of that, you probably gave me a few grey hairs when we met too,” he teased. “It would definitely be interesting though and I can see how much it means to you so I’m in.” They would have to talk to the girls about it when they were ready to expand the family but it was clear to Antonio how much Ethan wanted it so he knew that he was going to be there with him every step of the way. A half smile formed on Antonio’s face as Ethan repeated that sleep could wait and he pulled Ethan up from the bed. The way Ethan squeezed his hands was comforting but the truth was that Antonio knew the girls would be happy for him, it was still just so new that it was enough to make him nervous. “I know it will,” he nodded despite the butterflies that he still felt in the pit of his stomach. It had always been just him and the girls, he had never introduced them to a partner before but now it felt like the right time and he had finally found the right person. Antonio wasn’t sure where the girls were going to be so he decided to check their rooms first and soon found them in Ela’s. “Hey girls, do you have a minute?” he asked, giving them time to answer before entering the room and sitting down on the bed next to them. “I wanted to see how you were doing,” he said, reaching across and giving each of their hands a gentle squeeze. “I’m so sorry about what happened, I can’t imagine that must have been like for you,” he said sincerely. “Our job is risky but I need you to know that the two of you have been my whole world since you were born so no matter what happens I’m always going to do everything I can to make it home to you, you have my word on that. I love you so much.”ETHAN ALVAREZ, GABRIELA ALVAREZ & ADELINA ALVAREZ

━ you're perfection; my only direction. it's fire on fire ━ I wouldn’t say it’s boring, if you weren’t able to do that then I would have lost you back then, Can you shapeshift or fly?
Ethan nodded his head a few times with a small 'huh' falling from his lips. "That's true." He said with a gentle smile resting on his lips. His expression turned thoughtful for a moment as he thought it over before he shrugged his shoulders. "Honestly? I don't know. The girl, uh, the one who told me about me being well... a phoenix didn't know much herself. Just knew enough to erase my confusion, I guess." Ethan said with a quick nod of his head following. "Guess I'll just have to figure that out myself. Being able to fly would actually be pretty damn dope, not gonna lie."
I can believe the troublemaker part of that, you probably gave me a few grey hairs when we met too, It would definitely be interesting though and I can see how much it means to you so I’m in.
Ethan feigned shock at that before he pointed at himself as if saying 'who me?!', pretending like he didn't believe that at all even though deep down, he was definitely aware of what had happened back then and he definitely believed that he'd given the man a few grey hairs. "Okay, yeah. I was pretty reckless back then. I'll give you that." Ethan said with a chuckle falling from his lips. Ethan felt a gentle smile tug at his lips at that before he nodded his head a few times. "Yeah. It'd be really cute."
Ethan gave Antonio a reassuring smile. He knew just how nervous he was about this and of course, Ethan felt butterflies in his stomach too about this but he was definitely pushing them down because he knew it will go well. He trusted the girls.
"Yes, daddy, come in!" He heard Ela's voice on the other side of the door. Ethan lingered by the door, watching them with a fond smile on his lips. He watched the way Ela squeezed her dad's hand back. "I love you too, daddy. So much. I was so scared I was going to lose you but I'm so glad you're okay and back to us again. I know that your job is risky, daddy. I also know that you guys save lives almost every day and I... know that I'm the daughter here and it's not really my line but I'm really proud of you, daddy. Ethan, too." Ethan's expression softened at Ela's words, finding them beyond endearing.

━ save your advice, 'cause i won't hear it ━ AFTER their father's accident, Adelina had spent more time at home. Of course, she'd eventually fall back into usual patterns, but sometimes, it was a little harder to leave Gabriela's side. It hadn't been very long, but it had been enough of a setback, that she needed the break, anyhow. Thinking her father was dead was something she never wanted to experience again, and never wanted Gabriela to feel again. So, she'd do what she could, in the most Adelina way possible, and spend some more time at home. Sitting on her sister's bed, avoiding homework, and talking about literally anything else than whatever was on her mind. She wasn't interested in discussing her feelings, or really acknowledging them at all, until she they built up so much, that she was pouting on the couch shoveling chips into her mouth. This situation was, of course, more serious than ever. If Gabriela wanted to talk, she'd listen, but dipping her toes into the kiddy pool of emotions wasn't something she ever thought she could properly do. So, here the twins were, Gabriela hopefully listening to Adelina ramble about some cute dude at school, when there was a knock on the door. Antonio and Ethan both entered, and Adelina knew that, right now, she couldn't avoid... Or make a break for it.
'I wanted to see how you were doing,' Antonio was sitting there now, on the bed beside them, squeezing the girls' hands like he always had to comfort them. 'I’m so sorry about what happened, I can’t imagine that must have been like for you. Our job is risky but I need you to know that the two of you have been my whole world since you were born so no matter what happens I’m always going to do everything I can to make it home to you, you have my word on that. I love you so much.'
This was everything Adelina already knew, of course. She knew her father loved her, she knew their jobs were risky. She knew that, no matter what, her father would do his best each and every day, to come home to them. There was no questioning that, it was a guarantee. Yet, it still tightened her chest to hear. Even thinking about her dad not coming home again when he was supposed to made her stomach try to flip. For a moment, Adelina didn't know what to say, but luckily, she had Gabriela.
'I love you too, daddy. So much. I was so scared I was going to lose you but I'm so glad you're okay and back to us again. I know that your job is risky, daddy. I also know that you guys save lives almost every day and I... know that I'm the daughter here and it's not really my line but I'm really proud of you, daddy. Ethan, too.'
That's why Adelina relied and admired her sister when it came to the emotional conversations. Gabriela always knew what to say, it seemed. But then it felt like her turn, so she shifted, pulling her knees closer to her chest, still loosely holding her father's hand. "You don't need to apologize for what happened, dad. That wasn't yours or Ethan's fault," she started, glancing briefly at Ethan, before her gaze redirected back to her father, "it's your job. You guys saved a kid." Her dad was a hero. "Like Ela said, I'm proud of you both. And you'll both keep coming home." Her eyes went to Ethan again, for a few seconds, then back to Antonio. "I love you too, dad. We're okay."

Had Antonio known that Ethan was a phoenix back then it would have made things a lot easier and would have no doubt resulted in much less heartbreak for him but even Ethan hadn’t known that there was something unusual about himself until then. He hadn’t grown up knowing what he was the way that Antonio had done, he hadn’t known a thing about the supernatural world so Antonio definitely couldn’t blame him for what had happened. Had things worked out differently then there was every chance that they would have done as Ethan had said and settled down with other people because they were different people back then. Antonio was older than Ethan but it had still taken him a long time to realise what was really there between them and that was only after Ela put the idea in his head. From that moment on everything had started to make sense and Antonio knew that it was the right time for them to explore it. As Ethan said that he would have to figure out for himself if he could shapeshift or fly, Antonio shook his head. “We’ll figure it out together,” he assured him. Ethan had been there for him so he knew that it was time for him to return the favour. Ethan’s reaction when he said that he could believe the troublemaker part was enough to make Antonio laugh. “Yes, you,” he teased. “If you can call picking a fight with a guy twice your size reckless then sure,” he chuckled. “You’ve grown out of that a bit though, you’re not such a troublemaker now,” he added with a grin. He doubted that Ethan would grow out of it completely but the truth was that he wouldn’t want him to anyway. He had fallen for Ethan for who he was and Antonio knew that he didn’t want that to change for anything, it was still fun to tease him about it though. “It would,” he agreed. “I’m sure the girls would be on board too.” That was a talk for another day but he was certain that they would be fine with it. For now Antonio knew that he needed to come clean to the girls about what was going on between him and Ethan but first he wanted to check on them and see how they were doing. They had been through so much and he knew that they had been giving him space to rest that day and he had done that but the truth was that he was worried about them and he needed to see for himself that they were doing ok. Hearing Ela’s voice say that it was ok to come in, Antonio sent a smile in Ethan’s direction before heading into the room. Antonio was pretty sure that everything he said next the girls already knew but it still felt important to him to say it. The girls were older now and they didn’t need him as much as they once had but that didn’t change the fact that they meant the world to him and he hated the fact that they had spent even a minute thinking that he wasn’t coming home to them. It was Ela who spoke first and her words were enough to bring a smile to Antonio’s face. “Thank you,” he said gently as she said that she was proud of both him and Ethan. That really did mean a lot. Antonio wouldn’t have blamed either of them if they had wanted him to switch careers after what happened but that didn’t seem to be what Ela wanted and as Eli then spoke it didn’t seem like it was what she wanted either. It was an accident and accidents happened but he had made it home to them and he knew that he would do everything he could to make sure that he always made it home. “You’re always going to be my little girls but you’re both so strong and I’m so proud of you,” he said, giving their hands a gentle squeeze once more. For a long time it had been just the three of them against the world but that little unit had no expanded to include Ethan and as far as he was concerned what both of the girls had said confirmed that. “You’re right, we will both keep coming home and we’ll carry on watching each other’s backs out there but there’s something we need to tell you,” he began. He always felt better on the job knowing that Ethan was right there with him but their relationship had moved past that now. “You’d better come closer for this bit,” he said, turning to face Ethan for a moment and offering him a smile before turning his attention back to the girls. His gaze had been fixed on the two girls before that but even without them both glancing up at Ethan he had known that the guy was still there, he could feel it. Antonio gave Ethan a moment to join them before speaking again. “All of this has made us realise something – Ela you were right,” he said, a smile forming on his face once more as he looked over at her despite the nerves that were building once more. He knew that he wasn’t going to back out though, the girls deserved the truth and he knew that he and Ethan couldn’t hide this new development, nor did either of them want to. “Neither of us realised it until now but we are more than friends,” he said as his gaze drifted from Ela to Eli and back again. “I haven’t dated anyone since you’re mom and we’re still figuring this out because neither of us has ever felt this way about anyone before let alone another guy but Ethan and I are in love with each other. We want to give this a real shot and we hope you’ll be okay with that,” he said, his eyes searching theirs for a reaction. He had never tried dating in the past because he hadn’t wanted to introduce the girls to a mother figure only to have them lose her when the relationship didn’t work out but he knew now that the reason why his relationships hadn’t worked out was because he had been in love with Ethan all along so no one else had even come close. Ela had already told him that she would be fine with it but Eli hadn’t mentioned it so he wasn’t sure if she had already figured it out before they had too. Antonio also hoped that the girls and Ethan might be okay with Ethan staying with them permanently since it was only meant to be an open ended thing at first but he knew that he needed to find out how they felt about one thing at a time.

━ you're perfection; my only direction. it's fire on fire ━ We’ll figure it out together, Yes, you, If you can call picking a fight with a guy twice your size reckless then sure, You’ve grown out of that a bit though, you’re not such a troublemaker now,
Ethan felt a small smile tug at his lips at that. "Together," he said with a quick nod of his head following. Ethan couldn't stifle the urge to laugh at Antonio's words as he remembered the time he picked a fight with someone twice his size. He definitely ended up with a lot of bruises back then, but at least the only thing that wasn't bruised was his ego because he ended up winning that fight. "Okay, but━ do you remember that guy? What he was like? He definitely deserved that beating and I don't regret it for one second." Ethan said with a proud little smile on his lips as he recalled that fight.
"Yeah, I'm a lot more ━ mellow now, I guess. Becoming a firefighter helped me in a lot of ways. Back then, I guess I fought a lot because I was insecure or maybe because I had a lot of anger issues, I suppose. But now, I know how to handle myself. How to take a moment and just breathe." Ethan explained with a half-smile on his lips before he chuckled when he realized just how old he sounded just now. "I sound like an old person now, don't I? Technically, I'm like one hundred years old." Ethan said with a half-smile resting on his lips. He may be one hundred years old but he still looked the same.
When it was time to go and check on the girls, Ethan followed right after him but lingered at the door to give them space and some privacy because he felt like it was a special moment for all three of them. He didn't feel left out or anything even close. He was looking at them with a fond look on his face and a pleased smile on his lips. Antonio truly had two really smart and wonderful daughters with hearts made of gold. He smiled back at Eli, nodding his head in a silent promise that he's going to try his hardest to always come back home with her dad.
His attention drifted back to Antonio, nodding his head a few times as he moved closer, his hands now placed behind his back, his posture gave away he was feeling a tad bit nervous. He didn't say much, he just watched as Antonio told the girls in his own way which was more than enough to put a gentle smile on his lips as he watched them, his head tilted slightly to the side.
Gabriela's eyes widened when she realized what her dad was saying. "You guys are together now?" She gasped before her lips stretched to form a grin. "Oh my gosh, I'm so, so happy for you guys." Gabriela said in a soft voice, her eyes moving between theirs. "Looks like you're here to stay now, Ethan. We're not gonna let you go anytime soon." Gabriela teased with a soft smile on her lips.
Ethan's eyes widened at her words before he chuckled and nodded his head. "You really don't have to worry 'bout that. I'm here to stay," he said with a gentle smile playing on his lips.
"I'm really happy for you, daddy. All of this must've been so difficult for you. Raising us. Without... mom. You must've felt so lonely but now, you have Ethan." Lonely romantically, she meant. She knew she was in his life along with her sister but he needed a lover in his life, too. Someone to take care of him. "Thank you for telling us, daddy." Gabriela's eyes drifted from Ethan and Antonio to look over at Adelina, her smile still present on her lips.
