what is next

Thinking about how happy Maverick made her, and how much joy would be had from a new litter of puppies, the decision should have been an easy one to make, but inwardly Venom felt hesitation. She was still afraid that Maverick was going to leave her. That she was going to ask too much of him, and he would decide life would have been easier without her. She knew it was a chance that she needed to take, because the thought of Mav fathering her children was overwhelming compared to her fear. She put her trust in him, and she would do so now. Venom gave Maverick her heart, he would not spurn her for this.

Venom was eager to see what Plague really thought of Maverick, and she wished she could be a fly on that wall when they finally spoke. No one could have predicted Hattori’s actions, he had once promised her forever, and that scar would remain even now as she recovered with the sky blue and white man. Trusting him was a feat that came from the bottom of her heart. He knew what she had been through, so she would hope he would not bring her down the same path.

Plague promised he would give Mav a hard time, but followed up by telling her how excited he was to be an uncle again. Venom grinned at his word, honestly she was looking forward to being a mother again. Now that her eldest were well grown and starting lives of their own, she was eager to bring new life into the world and to Ashen. Even more she felt a warmth in her breast at the thought of giving those children to Maverick. "Now that I’ve said the words… I’m eager to become a mother again.” She grinned up at her brother, bumping his shoulder lightly with her own. She was always glad and grateful for these little talks. He always knew what to say to her.
