Homecoming Queen (Felicity)

[Deleted]

Remus had been staying here two weeks now. No, over a week. Since she left. She'd told him she'd only be gone a week. That she needed a little space. He respected her and wanted to help her and, well, if that meant she needed to get away, he would support her still. Her delay was worrying him though. He sat on the couch of her apartment and tried haphazardly to keep reading The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde but it was slow going. He was worried sick. He'd been sleeping badly all this last week. Even the flowers he'd bought her a week ago for her homecoming were looking a little sad too, despite how hard he tried to keep them up and cheerful for her. He found himself staring at them. The ones that weren't fading still held their lovely colors. They were mostly lilies, with a little baby's breath. The baby's breath was hanging in like it was a true Roman flower, unlike its less than Roman name. The lilies, no matter how carefully he watered them, looked far from as fresh and peppy as they were when she was expected home a week ago. He sighed. He'd tried calling her before, but it didn't seem to want to work. Like getting a busy signal or something strange. Something was up for sure. There was just nothing he could really do about it, considering... well, sure he could try to get to the Underworld to find her, but what were the chances of A) him finding her and B) him making it back here? He needed her though. She was his everything and... he just couldn't lose her. He gave in and put his bookmark in place before grabbing the pillow next to him and staring at it. "What am I going to do? What if she's left me again? But she wouldn't do that, right? Not again. I know she wouldn't. She must be in trouble. Something has to be wrong. Maybe I should go to Lord Pluto's temple and ask his help. Yes, that would be good." Yes, he was talking to a pillow.

She had finally convinced herself to leave. Well, not really herself, though it was. Ugh, it was very confusing. Long story short, there was more than one life sharing Felicity's skin. You had Felicity, obviously but then you had her past life, which was Laverna. Yeah, Orcus was being serious when he had told her that and ever since she went through with her punishment he had to give her for breaking an oath on the styx she had been able to remember the life LAverna lived and had her active again. Hard to follow? Don't blame you. Felicity herself was having a hard time. It was a fight against her and it was this fight that had caused her to stay away from Remus longer than expected. Eventually she won the fight and that was why she had finally tore herself away from the guest bedroom in Orcus's house and was now sitting inside of a bakery in New Rome, having gone there after Orcus had returned her.

She sat on the hard plastic chair as she kept an eye on the clock and tried to figure out a way to explain to Remus why she was so late. Gods, he was probably worried sick. Worst case she could live with Orcus for forever and be happy. No! That was not her thought. Felcity shook her head. Ugh, it was hard to figure out what was going on at times. Laverna was a stubborn goddess and hated she couldn't get her way and tried her best to keep Felicity from living her life and trying instead to start living her life again happily ever after with Orcus. Not that Felicity could blame her. The goddess had used what remaining energy she had to force her spirit into one of a mortal and keep going for a rebirth until her beloved found her. Sounded cute but only seemed to give Felicity an excuse to start buying a stock in advil due to how much she will probably start consuming.

"Order for Felicity?" The baker called out and Felicity stood up quickly, paying for the small cake after having inspected it. I'm Sorry was written in beautiful cursive icing over the iced chocolate marble cake. It was corny, yeah and Laverna thought it was stupid and unbecoming of a Roman but Felicity was genuinely sorry, even if that stupid goddess wasn't. Remus was everything to her. They had been through so much and she wasn't going to have this destroy them. She would never stop fighting for her and doing everything in her power to keep him safe and happy.

So Felicity carried the cake in it's container through the familiar streets leading her back home and as she prepared to dig out her key in front of her door that was when she heard him. She had expected him to be at the princpia and she was going to stop by and plead her case and give him the cake there. She didn't expect him to be at her apartment after so long after when she said she would be back. Which, she had regretted even asking to leave anyway. She was just getting stir crazy and was just going to head home and try to reconnect with her mom and that side of her family and hope that the mountain air would help aide in clearing her head from the terrors that came from the past year. But that didn't go to plan and hearing the words Remus was speaking through her door made her heart hurt. Laverna wanted to just turn around and leave and was thinking poorly of someone talking like that who was in a position of authority but all Felicity could do was want to hug him and apologize until she could no longer speak. However, neither of those things occurred as she found her self holding the cake in one hand and her other hand knocking on the door. [/blocquote]

Remus looked up at the sound of the door knocking. Couldn’t be her. This was her apartment. She’d just come in, right? She literally owned the place. He was just visiting. A guest. He set the pillow aside and toyed with the idea of leaving it be. After all, this was not his apartment. What if it was something like a personal package for her? Though then he would want to pick it up for her so she didn’t have to go get it herself. So he stood and went to the door as he straightened his t-shirt, then opened it.

He felt like he saw a ghost. He stood stock still for a moment before he felt himself just go on auto pilot. He immediately took the box from her hands and set it on the floor so he could pull her in for a hug. He didn’t care what was in the box, he didn’t care about her long absence anymore, he didn’t care about anything but the feeling of holding her in his arms. “My darling. My Felicity. You’re home. Oh, thank the gods. I missed you so much.” He pulled away and looked her over with a mix of adoration and worry. “Are you okay? What happened? You know what? I don’t even mind what happened; you’re home.” He brushed her hair from her face gently. “And more beautiful than ever. Gods, I love you. Welcome home. Oh, I erm, hope you don’t mind I’ve been staying here the while. Now come on in, rest and relax and I’d love to hear about your adventure. We can even order pizza. Since you missed your weekly pizza allowance,” he added teasingly, or at least half so. As he let go of her and turned so he could let her in, he accidentally nearly bumped into the box. “Oh, forgot. Where do you want this?” he asked as he picked it up. It was an odd package. One of those white pastry boxes, and decently heavy too. Maybe one of her friends’ birthdays were coming or something. That was the best explanation he could think of. “Oh, and sorry for the condition of the flowers on the table. They’re a bit… dated. I’ll get you new ones tomorrow.”

She didn't know why she was always so afraid of how he was going to react. She always assumed he would be the worst after all she had put him through. He had every right to it after all but somehow he always surprised her and treated her far more nicely than she deserved. She always expected to end up like the poor guy Discordia had messed with in order for Felicity to fake her death. Remus had ended up crushing the poor boys windpipe in his red vision anger. It was a scary sight and it was seared into her memory. Suppose that was where her fear came from. But he never was like that, not with her. With her he was always nice and evenly tempered. Even when she had returned from her fake death he had been relatively calm, calmer than she expected at least.

But all those thoughts flooded out of her mind away as Remus pulled her into a hug. She was only able to hug him just as tightly back. Take in his familiar scent of whatever body wash or aftershave he used. Gods, it was one of the best smells in the world. She couldn't help but giggle as he kept talking and not giving her a chance to speak. "It's fine. I gave you a key and said it was basically your place too if you wanted. And yes, please. Gods, I've missed pizza almost as much as I missed you. "

Then she looked at the white box he was holding at his question. "Well first I want you to open it. I got it for you after all, as a way for saying sorry for being a good week late. Sorry about that... but the flowers are lovely, despite the time. Thank you." Felicity said with a smile as she took the sight of her fiance in. Gods, why did she leave him again? Why did she stay away for so long? She thought it was hard to leave Orcus but it was just as hard to imagine leaving Remus. Perhaps it had something to do with who she was by. After all, she felt more like her normal, not including Laverna self around Remus and she felt more like Laverna when she was around Orcus. Perhaps that had something to do with the memories that were invoked by the people she was near. Gods, all the thinking on it though would give her a headache and she didn't want anything to ruin her homecoming withe her beloved son of Mars. [/blocquote]

To say that Remus was relieved to see her was definitely an understatement. He had missed her so much, feared so much, so long. And here she was. He imagined seeing her walk down the aisle toward him in winter would feel kind of like this. The complete and utter happiness just to see her face kind of thing. Of course, he was pretty sure the wedding would be a thousand times better, but for now he’d take this. Besides, on the wedding day, it wouldn’t be proper to randomly hug her, no matter how much he wanted to, so that was a perk of this particular meeting that he took advantage of. Oh, there was that laugh. Like the sweetest sound to ever exist. He was pretty sure if he could create an instrument that could mimic that sound, he could bribe Apollo himself to do anything he wanted just to get his hands on it. Seeing as Remus would probably keep it to himself anyway. Then again, no instrument could beat the in-person version.

He had to laugh at her words. “That’s dangerous talk, that. Careful or I’ll move in. And of course, the usual toppings? I’ll call it in and go pick it up while you relax, how about?” He moved away from her and right into the box he’d set down. Oops. He picked it up and questioned her on it. Her answer, he really wasn’t sure what to say, so he just did as she told him and opened it. A smile came to his face as the cute little cake with the carefully curving letters on it. “Sweetheart, you didn’t have to get me anything. But since you did, perhaps we can both have slices after dinner? You know I won’t eat this unless you have at least one slice too.” Remus glanced behind him to the flowers he’d mentioned, then back. “Sure you don’t want new ones? I’d be fine with that. Or maybe something that will last longer than flowers. Now, come on in and let’s get ready for dinner. If you need to hop in the shower or anything, go for it. I’ll get on the pizza thing, and then over food, you can tell me about your adventures. Sound good?” He led the way inside, carrying the cake to the table and closing the box again as he set it down.

"Maybe that's my plan." She teased at him. Though in reality she was serious, she wanted him to move in. She knew they weren't married but c'mon, it's not like she would try anything or what not. She just loved having him nearby and the comfort and security she felt when she could feel his soft breath next to her whenever he spent the night. He had always made her feel safe and he was the one whose arms she wanted embracing her when the nightmares came, and gods knew she got enough of those.

She couldn't help but smile. "I wanted to. And deal, though you're taking the leftovers with you, have them for lunch or something tomorrow." She glanced at the flowers and still couldn't help but feel guilty at the sight of the flowers struggling to survive. He had looked forward to her return and she had kept him waiting. Granted, there was a good reason for it this time, but she still had to tell him the reason why and just the though of trying to explain that made her mouth feel like it had a billion cotton balls in her mouth. How do you explain to the man you love that the women he loves is now holding two lives inside of her because she got the misfortune of having to had been one in a past life, and in said past life she had been married. What's weirder is knowing what it was like to be married and having those intimate moments when she had experienced them herself. Talk about eye opening.

She followed him inside and listened. "Remus..." She was about to tell him and her face obviously showed that something was wrong but all the anxiety about the situation convinced her not to, not yet so she put on a smile. "That sounds great. I think I'll take up the shower idea, unless you need me to go with you to pizza place, and yes, the usual sounds fantastic right about now." She said as she walked up against him and leaned up to kiss him softly on the cheek. At least this would give her some time to thing of how to best approach the entire situation.

He chuckled. “Then I’ll do a load of laundry in the principia and pack it in a bag and come here for the rest of the week at least. How’s that for a start?” He pulled her in once more real quick so he could kiss her forehead just because. Gods, he loved her. She really was his everything. Every moment the last week had been awful. He would take his lunch break at the principia and eat a sandwich as he walked back here to check and see if he’d missed her coming home while he was at work, and every day he would find it still locked up and empty as he’d left it when he went to work earlier.

Remus grinned. “You’re trying to make me fat, aren’t you? Making me eat so much cake.” He was teasing of course. He liked cake, and he didn’t mind doing the extra work to burn the sugar out. After all, didn’t Jason’s brother keep decently trim for all the Pixi Stix he ate? Then again, he was a legacy of Mercury, so maybe Mercury’s kids just had wicked high metabolism or something? Was that even right? Would high metabolic rates actually help sugar? He had no clue. That would be something to ask Jason or McKinnon or anyone at the infirmary, not him.

He took the cake inside to the kitchen to put down and talked of ordering them pizza and her taking a nice shower, when she said his name. He turned and was about to respond when he saw the look on her face. Something awful was the matter. “Felicity?” He set the cake on the counter without taking his eyes off her, but as he did so, her smile returned anyway, which only made him worry more. She was hiding something. Something big. He nodded slightly at her words. “Alright. We’ll talk over dinner and cake. And I’ll be fine. You go take a nice relaxing shower.” He felt her soft lips on her cheek and smiled. “I love you, okay? No matter what. Now go get all warm and cozy, maybe put your pajamas on too. I’ll be back soon with dinner.” One more hug for good measure, then he went to the phone and called in the pizza to get this all started.

"Or, you could just move in." Felicity said, again with a smile. She knew he probably wouldn't until they were married but still, she could daydream. It wasn't like it was going to be far now. Just a few months. But still, she was counting down the days. Though, thanks to the recent situation she was worried about if that might change anything. It was debatable, given the fact that a part of her could really care less about being here or about Remus in general.

She only gave a teasing smile at his fat comment. Then of course there was the awkward tension after she called her name and she had to mentally curse at herself for not being subtle enough. He probably knew something was the matter and would be worrying about. Or maybe she was just overthinking the entire thing and it was going to be all okay. So, she hugged him and gave him a smile. "Or maybe I'll just put a robe on." She said, totally teasing and joking. She couldn't help but tease him like that. Seeing him get flustered, well, it was payback from all the times he would make her face go bright red when they first started dating. She swore she looked like a tomato but Remus kept saying how it was one of the cutest things. So, well, payback. Not that he didn't make her blush now, but she doesn't hide it quite as much as she use to. She had just gotten so use to it now.

So, she went and got the shower ready, grabbing her comfortable pajamas and got to relaxing under the fall of the warm water. It really was relaxing but she made sure not to spend too long in there as she got out of the shower and prepared herself for whenever Remus would get back. Sitting on the couch, looking out of the window, deep in thought of how to approach the conversation. It probably would just be easy to jump into it. Make it swift.

Remus had to chuckle at that one. “You seem to be pushing that. Wait til it gets cold and you’ll really want me to snuggle up with at night, then I’ll move in.” He was, of course, referring to after the ceremony, which they had set for the winter. They really needed to discuss that more. He had very little idea what was going on with it. Maybe he wasn’t meant to? He wasn’t sure of the wedding norms. Maybe he should ask Jason. Would that be weird? Nah.

Right. There was something wrong. He couldn’t forget that. He wanted to give her a chance to talk for herself before he started asking questions. She’d sworn she would answer them, so he wasn’t afraid of that. He trusted her, she trusted him. It was just the facts. But in that trust was respect too, which meant he wasn’t going to force her to talk. More like… encourage it gently.

That was, until she made him blush a bit at her suggestion of just a robe. He’d be lying if he said that didn’t sound awesome, but he also had that side of him that was worried sick about her being late and what she was hiding. He chuckled. “You wear whatever you like as long as you know I’m not coming back from the pizza place in the nude myself.” He had to joke, right? “Five minutes after I get back, no promises,” he added in the hopes of getting a little red tint to her cheeks in return. “But until then, food. Be back.”

He hurried out and straight for the pizza place to order their food. The added convenience of pizza taking about fifteen to make, so he bee lined for the flower shop just down the way – not Eve’s, because he wanted a dozen red roses, and Eve (thankfully) did not sell them. So he picked up the bouquet and went back to the pizza place where he was slightly embarrassed to find another young man, perhaps a couple years older, giving him a knowing smirk at the sight of the big gift and the fact that no Mars kid could solo eat a pizza the size he was picking up. Needless to say, he hurried out as soon as he had that hot box balancing on his last free arm. He got back to the apartment and pondered it a second before settling with putting the pizza down to save the flowers and unlocking the door to let himself in, picking the pizza back up. “Hope you’re hungry! And I brought you a bonus!” Go figure he couldn’t see beans around the large collection of flowers, so he totally missed her deep in thought on the couch. But he didn’t hear the shower running, so that told him enough. He used his foot to close the door behind him.

"But that's so far from now?" Felicity whined slightly before smiling and giving a nod. It was okay, she would figure out a way to hold off until then. After all, she has waited this long already, what was a few months, right? Well... hopefully, this other person living in her head thing might delay things a bit, but she hoped not. She had made Remus go through so much already. She couldn't live with herself if something postponed their wedding even more. That's why she needed to tell him not. Before it escalated and was too late.

What he said next Felicity couldn't help but blush and giggle come. He always wanted to make her blush, she hated it but he adored it for some odd reason that she would never understand. Who wanted to see a girl as red as a tomato? Oh well, she still adored him. She got to see a softer side of him after all, the more caring demeanor of a man underneath that gruff appearance and mask of a preator. It had taken her awhile to fully crack it but she did and she never regretted falling in love with him. She just wish she could say that REmus probably felt the same but after everything, well, she had her doubts.

She went and took her shower and got comfry, going deep in thought until the door opened and she couldn't help but laugh slightly at the scene. "AW, flowers? Roses too? I shouldn't be worried...right?" Felicity asked, joking but still with some hesitation before walking over to help him with the entire display he had with him. Wow, that pizza smelled good too, she hoped her stomach grumbling wasn't too noticeable.

Remus had to laugh at her whine. He did enjoy teasing her (especially when it involved making her blush, but this worked too), so knowing that simply living in the Principia was doing it was kind of funny. “Perhaps, but it’ll be worth it. You just wait. It’ll be cold and you’ll be shivering all through the night and that’s when I’ll come and rescue you from the horrible clutches of winter. Or something like that.” He took her hand and kissed the back of it. “Give me a chance to be a dashing prince for you and rescue you, hmm?” He smiled. “Until then… in the very near future I will be back with pizza.” One more smile for good measure, and he headed out.

Everything seemed brighter today now that she was home, he noticed as he walked through New Rome. The other people seemed happier too, or perhaps he just hadn’t seen their happy because he was too worried before. Gods, he loved Felicity. They’d been through so much together, and yet they always pulled through, didn’t they? Now they were to be married. To say he was excited was to put it lightly. This was the starts of something wonderful. He just knew it. And it would start, not with the wedding, but right now as he welcomed her home and showed that he was not angry with her for the elongated absence. He would be the forgiving, loving man he wanted her to have in him. Which was why he bought her roses. To replace the dying flowers, and because of the symbolism.

He grinned around the bunch of flowers when he came back and she joked about being worried about roses. “Nope, not a bit. I got these are another flower store.” A slightly less awkward one. He set the pizza on the table, and the flowers next to them. “Hope you’re hungry. I got the Felicity special.” He got two plates and some napkins out. “I should have picked up drinks too, to celebrate your triumphant return.”

Felicty couldn't help but laugh. He was just so well, perfect. He always brightened up her day and she swore he had the best hugs. So, okay, maybe she could wait and of course she would, but that didn't mean she wouldn't put up the fight for it. After all, it was verging on three years that they have been together now, albliet, on and off. There was the time she broke up with him and then lost all her memories, and then the time she "died" and he started dating someone else to move on, granted, she tried to do that with Apollo. But it was never the same. Remus was her person.

"Oh, the Felicity special? Did you name that or the place? Gods know I go there often enough." She joked at home, sort of. She did go there far too often but she loved pizza, it was her comfort food. Whenever she was depressed just bring a pizza and things would brighten up her day ten fold. Remus knew that. But yet, despite being so happy and all she couldn't stop that pestering in the back of her head. She needed to tell him. She watched as he got plates and napkins, silently. At his next comment she found herself giving out a small sigh.

"Not sure how triumphant it was...." Felicity muttered before picking at the seam of her pants. She took a deep breath. "When I left.. I ran into Orcus. I was planning on just going home ,try to fix stuff with my mom but... I don't know, I ended up spending the time with.... him." GOds, this was already sounding bad. She had told him before about him and what Orcus though. It was such an awkward circumstance and she knew that Remus could be territorial at time, something she found charming about him, but she hated hurting him. "But nothing happened!" Felicity added quickly, ignoring the voice in the back of her head telling her it was lie because when she remembered her past self as Laverna well... there had been some reacquainting. "Well, I mean, nothing with me. Okay, Remus, this is going to sound really insane and please, please, don't get mad. But... Orcus was right. He um, he had to do his punishment from when I broke my promise to you. I had to drink from that river in Tartarus and well.. I ended up remembering, everything. Anything left that I had lost from Saturn and more...past lives more." Felicity finally spewed out as she looked at Remus pathetically. She was always worried he would get really mad and angry and act violently. He never did, of course. But ever since she saw what his anger was capable of from the war, from the time he crushed the windpipe of the boy who stabbed her during the war, she was always worried of how he would react to things.

He had to chuckle. “They don’t know about it yet, but I’m sure it won’t be long before they see me and just predict what I’m about to order.” He had to smile. Gods, he just loved her so much. Every little thing about her, he adored. Yes, even the parts everyone else probably didn’t like. He accepted that accident all those years ago was an accident when some still held it against her. The part of the memory loss thing hadn’t been her fault. The terror sitting somewhat hidden in the back of her mind from those idiot government people. That wasn’t her fault either and he would certainly always be there for her. Sure, they’d had their rough spots, but they always made it through. Even when she’d come back from the ‘dead’ and he was with Eve, he’d still gotten all flustered whenever he ran into her. Heart beating faster, awkward, that sort. He knew even then how much he missed her, even if he wasn’t sure he should.

“Nah, you were triumphant. Always are.” Okay, not entirely true, but close enough. He cut the pizza again because he was never satisfied with how well that place cut it and the last thing he wanted was for his cheese to be pulled all off. And he listened. When she mentioned Orcus, the hand holding the knife paused just a millisecond before continuing. He held back a sigh. No, Remus, this is good. She’s willing to admit it. She’s not hiding anything. He just nodded. He was silent a bit then decided he really didn’t want to give her a hard time because she was being honest with him. “Well, that sounds-… I mean, good you had company, and I know he’s a good friend to you.” He did smile slightly when she said nothing happened. “I trust you.”

Then she continued and he set down the knife and looked to her again, listening silently. Please don’t get mad? Starting with that did make him worry. For a minute, he didn’t understand what she was talking about, so he just listened quietly. It took a silent moment after she finished for it to sink in. Past lives. He looked to the pizza again, not wanting her to see whatever his eyes might be betraying. He was scared, and yeah, a little mad. Would he ever get to marry this woman and be happy with her without something coming between them? That was the burning question. No more fake deaths, no more memory loss, no more abduction. And now this. “So… you mean…. The part about him thinking you’re his past wife…?” He busied himself by putting three slices of pizza on each plate and grabbing a couple water bottles. He wasn’t that angry now, just… well, sad. He really wanted to be with her, but… he didn’t know how many more potholes it would take to sink his hopes. Now she was some god’s wife. How do you get around that? He offered her her plate, not fully looking at her. Again, he didn’t trust his eyes to not reveal what he was thinking: that he’d just lost the most important person in his life.

Felicity looked at him, as if staring at him long enough would reveal all the answers or thoughts that he had. Gods, she hated this. She hated her stupid life, she hated hurting him again. It wasn't her fault though. Besides, she could always go and live with Orcus. They had a family together, key word had, until thi- NO! Not their, that wasn't Felicity, that was Laverna. She wasn't Laverna, it was a past life, the past, and that was important. She was Felicity now. She was nineteen, a daughter of Pluto, her mother lived in Colorado with her step-dad and her two half-siblings. Her best friend was Edmund Simons and she was in love with Remus Stone. That was who she was, she wasn't Laverna.

"Not me exactly... just, the past life of me. I'm still Felicity, Remus, I still love you and I want to be with you it's just... Gods, how did one explain this. It's not like the concept of a past life was new. It was a core concept in the Roman religion. After all, you couldn't get to Elysium unless you lived through five good lives. But how do you explain that there was now two people living in your brain, or sharing your soul. However the heck that worked. "It's just that she, Laverna, is awake now. In my head or whatnot, I remember her life, her memories and stuff. But it's not like I, Felicity, am her. I know it's confusing... but I want to be with you, I don't want to be with Ordus, it's you I love and want to have a family with. Not anyone else. I didn't want this, Laverna wants this, she wants to go to Orcus, she's the one who thinks your an annoying excuse of a praetor." Felicity's eyes went wide and she covered her mouth. Her tone made it sound like she meant it but that wasn't Felicity talking.

"Remus...that wasn't me, you know I'd never say that to you." Felicity said as she looked at him pathetically. She couldn't lose him, not now, not after everything. And the worst bit is, is that Laverna wanted him gone and if she succeeded, Felicity wasn't sure she would have any reason to fight for control of her own body anymore.

Remus was confused to say the least. So the woman he was engaged to – this one with him now – was also a goddess, just not completely a goddess. Part goddess, but not in the demigod sense. In the shared body sense. This was horribly confusing. He felt numb. But he could hardly even begin to imagine how she felt. She’d been late because she’d been spending time with a husband she’d been waiting centuries to find. Wait, don’t think about that. That might not be pleasant thoughts. For him. For her though…. No, he had to believe she was here for him. She was here because she wanted to be with him. Otherwise she never would have come home. He listened silently to her words. They hurt, yet he clung to them. He loved her so dearly. He needed her, his Felicity. But he didn’t think he could share her. He was selfish. He wanted all of her. In this sense, at least. Romantically. She could have friends, of course, but he wanted to be her one and only. Not Orcus. He didn’t want to be her ‘other’. She said she wanted to be with him, but… could she?

Her words hit him hard, though in a good way. In a way that almost brought him to his knees. She wanted him, and the fact that she had mentioned wanting a family with him. He almost scooped her off the floor in a big bear hug and just kiss her or something in gratitude, but then there was that part about what Laverna wanted. He nodded slightly, until she got to the part about him being annoying. He frowned. “I’m what?” He was more startled than angry at it, for now at least. Then she corrected herself, told him it had been that other freak of a woman in her head. He took her hands in his and held them tight. “I know, love. And I’m sorry. I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I… I want to help. Just tell me what to do. I love you more than anything and I want a family with you too. That’s my dream, you and I, maybe some little ones later, but mostly you and I. The way it should be. I will not let this Laverna woman take that away from us. I feel bad for Orcus and all, but… he’s not getting his wife back this time around. I will fight for you.”
