I see my future in your eyes

Leo chuckled a little and gave a little shake of his head in response to her question. "Of course not, lovely. You could never be in trouble with me." He thought about that statement for a moment and quickly added, "That doesn't mean you should try to be!" with a grin. He could already picture her pushing his buttons and getting on his nerves just to see if she could actually never be in trouble. He laughed a little at the thought and smiled while he looked at her beautiful face with that teasing look in her eyes he loved so much. "No, actually I've been thinking about something... and I wanted to see what you thought about it." He knew she loved children so he didn't think she would really have any real objections... but he wasn't exactly young any more. Life had not been kind to his body and it was showing more and more. Leo worried that wanting more children now was selfish when he wasn't even sure if he could keep up with playing with them or teaching them about hunting and fighting. But what killed him more was the idea that he never got to really have a family with Carletta. That outweighed any fears he might have around having children with her. "I'd like to try to start a family with you. Well... if you agree, of course." His smile grew just at the idea of it. "I don't want to pressure you at all and if you don't feel like now is a good time to do it or whatever then we won't. I just kept thinking about having children with you and... and getting a second chance at having a real family." The empty nest syndrome had hit him hard. He never thought he would love someone like this again or have any more children after Svetlana disappeared, but now that the impossible had happened he had hope. |
