Gabe rubbed his eyes as Toru spoke. "You don't?" He asked quietly. Toru didn't know his mom either? That made the blond feel a little better, knowing he wasn't the only one. "Were our moms bad people, Toru...?" He didn't know why he asked that exactly, but why else would moms not be there for their kids? Gabe loved his two dads very very much, but he still wanted to know about his mom.

"No, I don't." He confirmed. Though... How did he phrase that next question without destroying Gabe's trust in adults? His mom had given him to the New Tokyo mob to either get him out of her hair or to give him a better life, but he couldn't honestly say he knew which it was. Gabe's mother had been using him to try and get to Keith, and had nearly killed the kid with her habits. Neither of those really made for good people. "I don't know." He said, deciding to play just a little bit dumb.
"I think that sometimes people get scared about big things, like kids, even when they're the greatest things that can happen..." He wasn't sure this was the best answer, honestly, but he didn't want to right-out lie to Gabe. "I think they weren't ready, and that doesn't make them bad. But I think if your mom knew how wonderful you are then she'd love you just as much as your dad and I do."

Gabe finished wiping off his tears as Toru spoke, he guessed that made sense... He smiled at Toru's last comment and hugged him tighter. "I love ya too, Toru!" He exclaimed happily. The little boy was in a better mood than before, though he still didn't know what to do for what they were making at school.
"Hey Toru?" He asked once an idea came to thought. "Since my daddy gets stuff on Father's Day, can I make something for you for Mother's Day?" He didn't know who else he could do it for, and he loved his step dad a bunch so it just made sense to him.

Satoru blinked at that, actually caught off guard by the five year old. "Ah... I don't see why not?" He said, smiling a little bit. He wasn't exactly Gabe's mom, but what the hell. If it made Gabe feel better at all, he'd do it. That was going to get used against him some day, he was sure of it, but for now he couldn't really find it in him to care.
