this new life with you

He rumbled, quietly pleased with her response. He would have gotten rid of them if that was what she wanted, looked aside and pretended they did not exist at all if that was what made Venom happy. Perhaps that was an awful thing to say, cruel and negligent but it was how he felt. Venom would always come first, that was simply how things were and would always be. But these thoughts were for nothing as even a sparing glance would show anyone her true feelings, laid out bare for all to see. She loved the little ones with all her heart, her maternal instincts so engrained in her being that nothing would ever come to harm them. Not when she held them close. And thus by extension he would protect them too, overlook and teach them all they needed to know to flourish in a world as harsh as this.

With both of them tackling the role of parenting from a different angle he anticipated that they'd do it well, as a team.

"Good." He rumbled, allowing himself to settle into her embrace. He would remain for a while, even if only to let Venom sleep knowing he was here, watching the little ones whilst she got some much needed rest.
