Yakov yawned and looked down sadly at Jeff. "Come on Jeff, its out first Christmas together. I don't want you to miss it."
~~~~~~
Holly smiled. "Think back on our last conversation. It'll come to you."

Jeff blinked once and it hurt him to understand what Yakov was saying. He was trying to hard to block out sound. Trying to pretend that it was only whitenoise.
Kyle started thinking and it still confused him. He replayed the last five minutes over and over again.

Holly giggled. "Oh s**t. I've created a feedback loop."
~~~~~~
Yakov risked kissing Jeff on the lips and then pleaded again. "Please Jeff, I need you to have one good day. For your sake as much as ours."

Richard bust into the front door and huffed nad puffed his way up the stairs. He flew into Yakov and Jeffs room without knocking. "Jeff...needs to read...this..." He thrust a thick envelope at them and collapsed on the bed.

Richard had to take a few breaths. His lungs were burning. "You would kill...me if I told you...read it to him...its from his mother...and please don't be angry at me..."
At the word mother, Jeff's bottom lip twitched.

Yakov carefully opened the letter and warily began to read.
"My Darling Jeff, I need you to know that I never hated you. I was confused about what to do with you that I didn't understand that I just needed to love you. Driving you away, making you think you weren't good enough, not giving you all the love you deserved, those are the biggests regrets of my life. Please don't be angry with me or Richard, but you should know that I hired him to keep and eye on you for me so I could watch him grow up and live you life through him." At this Yakov spared Richard a wary glance. "I always knew you were somehow different and by shutting you out, I'll never get to understand just how much. I've seen your life through photographs. All the changes in you life, everyone. Except you. You never did change did you? I want you to know that whatever else you may be, you are still my son, and I do love you. I know that no words can undo a lifetime of terrible parenting, but I needed you to know. With All the Love I Wish I Had Given You, Mom."

Richard cringed when Yakov has glanced at him. He felt bad that this was the way they had to find out about him and that obviously he knew about their whole, not human situation. But it was more at what this had done to Jeff. he did love Jeff, not in anyway near what Yakov could and did. But it was still a form of love.
Jeff's mask had fallen as soon as Yakov had started reading. He had stared at Yakov the entire time with new tears filling his eyes. Once Yakov had finished Jeff started sobbing and trying to get loose of his restraints. "I'm...so...sorry...Yakov!" was about all he could manage.

Yakov was so shocked that Jeff had actually completed an entire sentence that he just stared for a moment. The sound of wood nearly snapping brought him back to his senses and he quickly freed Jeff

As soon as he was free he threw himself at Yakov. He wrapped his arms around him and held him tight. He couldn't really speak anymore and only cried on him.
Richard smiled weakly. He was glad that he could help him in any way.

Yakov clung to Jeff, so desperately greatful that Jeff had come back to him. "Oh God Jeff, I was so scared."

Yakov couldn't stop kissing Jeff absolutely anywhere he could reach. "No Jeff, don't, it's okay, you're back now and that's all that matters."

After a while Jeff started to calm down. When he got a good look at Yakov he was surprised at how disheveled he looked. He hadn't shaved in days. Jeff reached out and ran his hand over Yakovs stuble, "What have...I done..."
