Things spiraled out of control from there. The minor misstep of frightening the boy transformed Towhee in to a frothing, screaming mess; but Reyes wasn't like that, he told himself. He loved his kids. He wanted to be a father to them - even if he wasn't perfect - and right now Towhee was anchored to the spot, giving Reyes some room to negotiate.

That's how he saw the moment: an angry woman who wanted to protect her kids, who he loved, and had promised to support. The fact she was demanding he leave hurt the most but Reyes wouldn't do it - not unless it was a last resort.

Towhee-- he tried to winnow through the tirade, TOWHEE LISTEN TO ME, he ended up booming back at her pointlessly, further frightening the kids by the look of things. Reyes passed them an apologetic look, pathetic, but needed to get through to his wife.

I'm not going anywhere Towhee, stop fucking yelling at me! Fuck! He couldn't help the bristling of his nape or the bellow of his own voice; I'm their father and I fucked up once -- I'm sorry! They are my kids Towhee!
