Elise
Chase *Rising from the bed,
she pulled her robe on before walking over to the mirror. The recent tiredness
and nausea were expected and just confirmed what she already knew in her mind
and heart. She opened the robe, showing her stomach, and placed her hand there
in a protective gesture. Smiling, she thought back to the conversation
with Tegan that started it
all...*
Tegan GenOne ~Flashback~
*returning from patrols, he gave Elise
a brief kiss on the lips as he moved to disable and stow away his guns and
blades. Patrol hadn't been different from the usual - a few Rogues. Yet, he
believed this was the calm before the storm*
Elise Chase *She watched him
pull off his warrior dressings, looking more intense and deep in thought than
normal. For a moment, she doubted what she wanted and whether this was the best
time. She reached forward and laid her hand on his arm, knowing he would feel
her nervousness through her touch and the blood bond.* Was everything okay
tonight?
Tegan GenOne *giving a slight
nod, his brows furrowed as he registered Elise's anxiety. Was she sick? Had
anything happened while he was gone? He dropped the cloth he had been using to
polish his blades and glanced back at her* Elise ,
what's wrong?
Elise Chase *Smiling, she
hoped it would put him at ease.* Nothing is wrong, love. I just wanted to talk
with you about something I want of yours.
Tegan GenOne *he closed his eyes. He didn’t like the sound of that much. It sounded too ominous and it didn’t help that her eyes were still shadowed* Anything of mine, I will give you.
Elise Chase *Laughing
lightly, her eyes lit up.* I'm going to hold you to that. *Smiling softly* I
know you may think this isn't a good time but...I'm just going to say it. *At
his nod, she continued.* I want your son.
Tegan GenOne *he swore and cut himself with his blade. As the blood pooled on the table, the past flashed before his eyes. The fear he had experienced at Sorcha being missing, the unshakable rage and emptiness that had descended on him* Yeah? *He turne...See More
Elise Chase *Picking up his hand, she licked the blood away, then held it to him so he could seal the small cut.* I know things are chaotic now but I have to see this change as a new chapter in our lives, not a new beginning or a repeat but the start ...See More
Tegan GenOne *his legs felt
shaky, and he felt they would give up on him at any moment. Parking his ass on
the bed, he pulled his mate unto his lap and entwined his fingers with hers.
Always so hopeful, optimistic, never losing sight of what was ahead....See More
Elise Chase *Laying her head
on his shoulder* So, does this mean you will consider it?
Tegan GenOne *he let out an
uneven breath, his mind whirling too fast for him to catch up. But then he
glanced at his mate and everything took form and solidified. She was his
anchor. And now that he opened his mind to the idea, he loved the idea of
seeing her swell with his son. Beautiful and reverent as always* Yes... *he
tested the words out on his tongue*
Elise Chase *Breathing deep,
she wrapped her arms around him.* Yes, you will think about it or yes, you want
it too? You can take your time... *She trailed off not wanting to push him.*
Tegan GenOne *he chuckled, and
it sounded raw even to his own years* It's a yes Elise
*he turned her around so she straddled him, and then he kissed her with all the
passion and longing in felt* It's a YES! Damn, we're having a baby
Elise Chase ~Back to present~
*She smiled at the memories from that night and the celebration that had lasted
the rest of the night over their decision. She couldn't decide which night she
had felt more cherished and loved: that night, the evening she told Tegan it was official, or
the night of the waning crescent moon...*
