the Barren Queen
Pairing: CC/Lelouch
Warnings/Spoilers: Towards the end of R2
Author's Note: Just playing with a possible theory concerning CC.
Disclaimer: I don't own Code Geass
Summary: He chosen her as his queen, but there is a catch she can't have children. Strangely he doesn't mind that detail.She knows that it is almost expected for a queen to have a child.
Preferably a son. So he can inherit the throne even though she knows that there has been a few female leaders in the past. She silently knows that she is expected to have a child, despite the fact that she knows Lelouch with have a short reign as emperor.
Although she has to admit she is a tad bit surprise that he chose her to be his queen, and perhaps she is the more logical choice. After all she she stood by his side since the very beginning.
She knows that she has gotten a lot closer to Lelouch in the past couple of months to the point that she can truthfully say that she is in love with him.
Despite the fact that during the first month or so she wasn't necessary herself. A part of her wonders if that is when Lelouch had started to fall for her as well.
She slightly move to sit up in bed allowing the silk crimson sheet to fall loosely to her lap exposing her naked body.
"I can't have children," she utters after a moment. Slightly noticing him moving to sit up as well although it had probably do more with her movement than anything else.
"What?" he questions confuse and perhaps slightly caught off guard by her semi random statement. Although he can somewhat understand her reasonings for bringing it up. Especially after they had been intimate for the past month or so.
"Because of my healing ability," she somewhat clarifies after a moment. "My body will feel like it needs to fix it."
He nods in understanding. Hearing something similar in Biology class when they had been learning about the human reproduction cycle.
"In the lab they tried to get me pregnant," she says after a moment. Despite the fact her words were vague he can hear the hidden meaning behind her words and he couldn't help but to frown slightly at her words. "I think they were hoping I would give birth to another code bearer. They called it Project Immortalis or something."
"I'm not sure if I want children anyway," he remarks after a moment.
Her eyes widen lightly but softly utters in reply, "Because you won't be able to see them grow?"
"I suppose that is one of the reasons," he agrees lightly. She nods in understanding having a good feeling what the others reasons might be. He is probably afraid that Geass will affect their child or a child he has with another woman. Although she has never heard a case were a baby is born with Geass and they never really tried it in a lab.
She slowly settle back into the large bed her husband's arms wrap loosely around her naked form causing her to smile softly.
But before sleep can beckon her, a part of her wonders if history will remember as the barren queen. Of course the only person that she has really told is Lelouch and she silently knows that his reign is going to be a short one.
