Burnin' For You

He wondered, very briefly, how much longer they would live. Perhaps a few more seasons, or years -- but not much more than that, and that was if they were lucky. Suddenly he grew worried, fearful that giving birth would be difficult for Silent, perhaps take a toll on her health? But as he eyed her, the beautiful woman that he loved so dearly, he didn't see any signs of sickness or weariness in her, only that which was typical of a woman her age. But remembering how long they had both lived thus far was rather sobering; and he certainly wouldn't want to take another chance and try for children again in the future. It would be too risky She relaxed, curling tightly against him, and he couldn't help but grin. "I will strive to be an even better one to these children, than I have been to any of our others..." He had grown considerably since they had met last -- both physically and mentally. Often he was irritable, and he was as withdrawn as ever, but he was stable overall, and much more rational than he had been before. If he ever had possessed the capabilities to be an outstanding father, that moment was now. "Doesn't it feel unbelievable?" he mused softly, pulling her close to him, breathing in her scent as though it were as vital as oxygen itself. "I love you even more, my Silent Shadow." Slowly his bliss would fade into unconsciousness, his breathing becoming slightly more labored as he lay there with her, drifting slowly to sleep. |
