Hattori had no idea where they were taking this, that this single conversation would change his life in so many ways. It began simple, Venom explained that she'd been out on a patrol and had happened to come across Kiyo. But it evolved into something that left Hattori speechless and wide eyed. She was what? And how would Mother know? He turned sharply, looking down at Venom as though there was anything to see, as if he'd suddenly just notice the swelling of her belly. But she was the same, perfect and beautiful and- Oh. Herm. In the very far reaches in the back of his mind he'd known it was a possibility, but she was not in season, the chances of her falling pregnant were so slim it had been easy to brush that concern aside. But it seemed as though he'd been too hasty and look where it landed him, silent and still, surrounded by women who were waiting on his reaction.
He pressed his lips into a thin line and despite himself leaned a little harder against Venom's side.
"I see."
Getting rid of the children was a possibility, but not one he even thought of taking into consideration. They were his, theirs , and whilst he'd never felt much of a pull to be a father it was simply just another role he could adapt to. As he always had. Besides, as an Empress her children would be royalty, born of clean and proper blood. In terms of a match even Hattori could see the favour in it, the culmination of two regal bloodlines. But those thoughts felt as though they belonged in his Father's head, not his own, and he was quick to frown them away. Hattori was many things, both good and bad, but he was not nor would he ever be him.
"Does this please you?" He then asked Venom, wishing to know her thoughts. Now he knew the truth he did realise she'd seemed...a little cagey, hesitant.
