momma's always right

Kiyo was silent as Venom spoke, but even if she hadn’t been Venom wasn’t sure she would have heard her. Bright sunset eyes were all for Hattori as she spoke softly and revealed the consequence of their actions. Vivid silver eyes widened in surprise as Hattori’s attention focused fully on her and her still svelte frame. He was silent for a moment, likely as surprised as she had been when Kiyo told her. The possibility hadn’t lingered in her mind, but to both of their surprise the pre marital affair was fruitful.

His affection was simple and subtle, but Venom felt his love and adoration. He echoed her sentiment and Venom very nearly chuckled at the similarities. Now that she’d spoken the words to him the pregnancy felt so much more real. Venom hadn’t intended for this to happen. The timing wasn’t ideal and their preparations were far from complete, and yet Venom wouldn’t have changed anything. The puppies, their children, were developing within her. She and Hattori would forever be tied together with these children.

Hattori’s voice reached her again as he sought her thoughts. She looked up to him, as though seeing him for the very first time. The father of her children, her partner in life and ruling. Venom didn’t want anything else. "Yes, it does." A smile finally began to brighten her features as reality settled in. She was nervous about the process and every milestone in between, but also excited about how much their lives would change. These children would complete her ownership of the Empire. Their ownership. Hattori would be as fully tied to this land as she was, and this family would bind them together more fully even than their vows. "We have, so many preparations to make," she allowed the uncertain emotions to fill her voice as she struggled with becoming overwhelmed. "But I feel like this is right." Venom looked back up to her husband, again she would be forced to rely heavily on his capabilities. She knew the two of them would persevere, that was why she chose him. Together they were unstoppable.
