(Hey guys! This is now being reuploaded! I am keeping everything the same unless I feel the need to change it. I hope you enjoy!)

(Before this starts, this needs an explanation. Since Sahara isn't planned for Season 7 and the Architechs is dispersed, I have noticed that Mumbo still talks to both Grian and Iskall regularly but they don't talk to each other. And because of this, I feel like it is literally a joint custody of Mumbo between his two divorced parents, Grian and Iskall. Im sorry-)

Mumbo looked out the window of the car as he drove away, looking sadly at his papa's house. It was the first week since his fathers got divorced and he was going home with his dad, Iskall.

"Mumbo..." the small child continued to look at the house from a distance, just wishing to go back.

"Why can't we be happy together!" Mumbo screamed as tears ran down his face. Iskall's heart broke as he looked into the rearview mirror at his son.

"It just wasn't going to work... I'm sorry honey..." Mumbo continued to cry and plead to go back to his childhood home, the place he lived with his two happy fathers. "How about we get ice cream?" Iskall asked softly as Mumbo glared into the mirror.

"NO I WANT TO SEE PAPA!" He yelled, hitting his head against the seat. Iskall pulled off to the side of the road, getting out calmly and opening Mumbo's door.

"Please... I want to make you happy... I'm trying my best..." Iskall quietly said, tears forming in his eyes as well. Mumbo hugged him sobbing into his dad's shirt. Iskall just knelt there, rubbing circles into his son's back softly.

Grian looked in the mirror frowning, already feeling empty without Mumbo home. Sure, Iskall and him fought a lot about their marriage but he still missed the days the three of them spent together. It has almost been a week since Mumbo went to Iskall's house, it is almost time for him to come home. Grian looked up when he heard the doorbell, looking at the time before his eyes widened. He had been home this whole time, taking off from work to get himself together. It didn't help that his ex worked across the hall. Grian walked to the door, opening it and seeing Mumbo's sad little face.

"Oh darling..." his overprotective nature dropped him to his knees, pulling his son to him. Grian's eyes closed as he soaked in the feeling of his son again. He opened his eyes and was met with legs. He looked up and saw Iskall standing there awkwardly. Grian stood up, looking at his ex with a sour face.

"I-I brought some of his stuff here..." Iskall explained as he handed Grian a bag with some of Mumbo's toys and such, his clothes were already split between houses. Grian's face fell slightly before nodding his head.

"Thank you, I will bring him over Thursday." Iskall sighed, messing with his tie slightly.

"I can pick him up. I have to go to work now," Iskall ruffled Mumbo's hair before straightening again, "I'll see you later buddy." Grian tried to pull Mumbo inside but his son stood firmly, watching his dad leave.

"Do you want to go watch a movie? I got the one you wanted to see." Grian asked softly as Mumbo shook his head.

"It isn't the same without dad." He then stormed off into his room, Grian yelling out his name.

Mumbo screamed as he ripped up the drawings he made, splitting them in half. He tore it right through the middle of himself and between both his fathers. It was like his actual family, he was split between the two. Grian walked into the room, cookies on a plate with milk. He stood in the sea of papers, scribbled with crayon and marker drawings of the broken family. He slowly sunk to the floor next to Mumbo nudging hin slightly.

"I made cookies..." he quietly whispered, Mumbo slightly looking up before taking a cookie and the glass of milk. It had been a few months since the divorce but he still wasn't used to it, and he didn't think he could ever be.

"Thanks papa..." Mumbo quietly thanked, nibbling on the chocolate chip sweets. Grian put the plate down, opening his arms to which Mumbo put down his glass and cookie, leaping onto him. "I miss everything!" Grian just hummed quietly, it was the tune to the song he and Iskall sang to Mumbo when he was a baby.

"I miss him too." Grian whispered quietly, kissing the top of Mumbo's head as he sobbed. After awhile, Mumbo looked up.

"You don't sleep that much anymore..." Mumbo whispered quietly as Grian paused for a second.

"That's nothing for you to worry about darling." He responded, rocking the two slowly.

"But I see you crying at night in your room... and your eyes..." Mumbo reached up and used his fingers to go across the underneath of his papa's eyes. "They are sleepy... why?" Grian sighed as he brought Mumbo closer to himself.

"I am worried about you and your dad. I do want to be together darling... it just wasn't going to work..." they rocked on the floor, crying and humming before it was time to go to sleep, but they couldn't exactly sleep. They instead went downstairs to watch some old videos of Mumbo as a baby. Grian's heart clenched at the sound of Iskall's laughter and Mumbo longed to see his father's hug like they used to again.

But it wasn't meant to be.

(Oof that ended sadder than I meant to also I don't know why I thought this but here ya go. I don't know why I imagine it like a divorce but I do so whatever

Probably gonna delete later when I actually sleep and decide this is an awful idea-)
