take a bow, for those bad decisions we made

He was calming down. That was a good sign, even if he didn't accept the situation. "I didn't choose this - and neither did you" Eden pointed out, not trying to be kind in her words even if they were soft "we both made a mistake - but these children are innocent" She came closer, inches from him as she forced herself (and him) to look at him (and her) "they are part of you, and I won't pretend you are a good person. But I am not either" Compared to some, she was good. Compared to most, she had made terrible decisions that could never be taken back "I don't regret that night, Ignis."

Now that she carried his pups... Would he just want to throw her away, defiled and used? "It won't be perfect and I don't demand it to be" Eden continued on an unsteady breath "but I would hate myself if I didn't at least let you near them. They are your blood - like it or not. It wouldn't be fair, even if things haven't been fair to me lately" and "not fair for you either" She bet he had a story to tell if he ever opened up "b-but if you don't want them in your life... I... suppose I can accept that. I can't pretend to not be disappointed." She sighed, lowering her head.

Do what you must she wanted to say. She wanted to say she could abort them, get rid of them. Pawn them off on another family. Someone who wanted pups in the first place. But. "I'm not asking you to devote yourself to the situation. Just... be around them." She bit back tears this time, speaking to the floor. Be there for me! she wanted to say. She didn't. She was fooling herself.
