don't make this a living nightmare

Venom took in a deep breath and released the air from her lungs slowly as she settled herself back into reality. Back into the safety of Maverick’s strong arms. He stroked the back of her head with a pale paw, reassuring her with his sweet kisses and gentle touch. Still, the doubts in herself held her caged as she whispered softly. She blinked up to look into Mav’s eyes as he whispered back, coaxing her softly to explain. What did she mean? He didn’t understand the nightmare was the fear she was living. Why would he? She had done everything in her power to ignore the fright that she was not fully capable.

He cradled her softly, observant enough to know it was not just her nightmare that lingered in her heart. If she could trust Maverick to wind himself so thoroughly in her life she could trust him with the fear that gnawed at her gut. "What if..” She paused, how did she even explain herself? Did he know how important this was to her? "What if I can’t conceive?” There was no shortage of trying, and the thought that it would never work had her stomach in knots.
