Sonya unlocked the door to her apartment, forcing the emotions and memories in the back of her mind where they couldn't disturb her. She almost expected that Tsung would appear again, but the fact that it wasn't even 'her' Tsung, that he was from an alternate realm, that made her head hurt. In her mind, the memory of her husband vanishing last January, the fear, combined with the pain and anger when she was in labor still strong. When it passed, she thought she could handle a visit from Shang Tsung, now, she wasn't so certain.

If there was one thing she hated, it was uncertainty.

Dismissing the nanny, she made a bee line for her son's room, right across from her own in the cozy apartment. He was awake when she peered over his crib, visibly on the verge of crying even as she let him grip her finger in his tiny hand. She looked up at the clock placed over his changing table; it was close to his feeding time anyway.

Holding him carefully, she made her way to the kitchen, having enough energy to conjure and prepare a bottle with 'people milk' she stored in the fridge-a tip she received from a female soldier on base. A final twist sealed the bottle before she was able to feed him.

Shang felt that it was time he had visited the mother of his children. Even though he did not remember being a father, at least not in his world. But he wished to see her.

He used a portal to appear in one of the rooms of Sonya's house. He had appeared in the living room. He had a feeling that she was here.. just not in this particular room. So he began walking through the other rooms.. and then stopped once he saw her with Danny. "Ahh, there you are.."

She didn't react when she saw him appear, Danny had his mouth sealed on the milk bottle and any sudden movement would set off a storm of tears. If he noticed the presence of someone else in the room, he was too focused on eating to notice.

Sonya did look up, sucking in a breath, the arm supporting her son tightened around him as though protecting him-or reminding her to keep her temper, she wasn't quite sure. Part of her thought this would've been a funny image, the 'great' Sonya Blade, dressed in her military greens while feeding a three month infant.

"Evening." She kept her face neutral, not trusting herself to keep from being hormonal.

	Shang resisted the urge to act on his thoughts... Sonya was busy feeding, after all. Perhaps later. He looked at the baby then. "So.. this is Danny. How long has he been here?" He was curious to how the boy would grow up. And what type of warrior he would be.. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She leaned against the counter, keeping an eye out for when Danniel had had enough. "He just turned 4 months old a few days ago."

The turning of the baby's head indicated that he'd had enough. Sonya was able to put the bottle down, resting him over her shoulder, gently rubbing his back. A white cloth was thrown over her shoulder to protect her clothing.

She frowned. "You..or rather the version of you I married, vanished a week before I went into labor." The feeling hurt just as much as the actual birth she thought, but that was past. She was queen inside even if it didn't matter here. She wouldn't loose it.

Danny let out a belch, thankfully there was no spit up involved and she was able to let him rest against her.

She did look at Tsung a moment. "Don't suppose you'd like to hold him?" The arm wrapped around him tightened in protectiveness, but she felt she'd better ask now then later.

Shang wasn't sure what to think about that. He was fairly certain that he would have wanted to see the birth of his children. To be present at the moment of their first breah, when life essences were begun. And because they were his. Still, he supposed he could fault the rift for this.

He nodded. "Yes.. I think that I would." He usually didn't do holding. But as this came from him, or some version of him.. he wanted to. He just hoped that the baby recognized him once in his arm.

She walked over, carefully holding the baby behind his back and head, and giving him to Tsung to hold. Her son wasn't too happy about leaving his mother's shoulder and started fussing, but he calmed down as soon as Tsung held him, his large brown eyes staring up at him.

Sonya kept her hands at her sides, taking a seat on the sofa. She didn't want to admit that her arms were suddenly aching to hold Danny again, even though she'd just held him a second ago.

	Shang held the child to his soldier. He could sense something about him. It was clearly his. He knew it seemed like a baby now, but one day, Danny could be a great warrior.. or sorceror, if he chose that path. He looked over at Sonya then. "How long has he been awake? He's already been fed, yes?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	While he held the baby, Sonya pulled off her boots and curled up on the sofa. "He's been wake for three hours. I just finished feeding him and in a half hour he'll have to be changed and put back to bed." "We just started getting on a schedule, a few weeks ago the crying and sleeping was more erratic."

	"Half hour.. alright." He paused, remembering part of her staement more than the others. "You should know something. I have never changed an infant." He nodded. "Well, at least it's not as erratic now, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sonya held back a quiet laugh,from the mental image. "Just hand him back in a few minutes, I'll deal with it." Hell, she had to deal with him alone all this time, and she had a babysitter so it wasn't so bad.

"No, we should have a few hours, maybe more, when he's asleep."

Danny started gurgling, staring at his father's hair. Sonya tossed the shoulder cloth at him. "You may want to use this if he starts drooling."

	Shang nodded, quickly reaching for the cloth. "Yes, that's a good idea." It was quite an odd scene. It's probably be disturbing if some of the defeated Earth warriors saw him now, holding a baby over his shoulder. He'd tell no one of this.. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Danny seemed to loose interest, now trying to shove his fist into his mouth as though it was important.

Sonya herself was torn between tension and feeling drained. Tense because for all these months, it was just her and Danny (oh sure, there was Gani and Jane and even Aziraphale, but Danny was her blood) and she wasn't sure how she felt about Tsung hold him. She felt drained because she still had a career and child and both were exhausting by themselves.

She leaned against the arm rest of the couch.

	Shang could never understand wh babies dod that thing with their fist. Yes, he had known a warrior or circus perormer who could do it. But not babies. He lightly rocked him, assuming that would be better, looking at Sonya then. "You must be exhausted.. but I could hand him back to you if you like." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The rocking put a smile on the infant's face, but he was a bit calmer. Sonya meanwhile pushed herself off the couch. "I'm used to it." It was more the emotional drain then physical. "Give him back. He'll need to be changed soon then it's bedtime." (Reply to this) (Parent)
