Short Chapter, sorry guys.
"HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU TO STOP TELEPORTING IN THE HOUSE?" Valkyrie screamed at him, she was still sat on Skulduggery trying to get his jacket on so she could wrap it around her. "I'm sorry I didn't think, well, the living room would be busy." He stuttered back, blushing and looking at the opposite wall, trying not to stare. "Fletcher what do you want" Skulduggery growled and hugged Valkyrie to him. "Tanith and Ghastly want to see you, they said it's important and sent me to get you." He explained. "right, fletcher could you just go into the kitchen while we get some clothes on." Skulduggery sighed as fletcher left the room, "Twice in one day, we can't catch a break."
They were soon dressed and were holding fletchers arms. They were soon in Ghastlys shop, him and Tanith were sat on the couch, Ghastly was cradling Tanith in his arms smiling. Ghastly looked up, "guys, we have some news" he looked down at Tanith and smiled, "well me and Tanith…" he looked at her and she continued, "WE'RE GOING TO BE PARENTS!" she almost screamed and the pair jumped up. Skulduggery and fletcher smiled and went to shake Ghastlys hand, congratulating them. Valkyrie hugged Tanith and the two girls were crying. "Oh my god oh my god oh my god." Valkyrie breathed. "There is something else too," Tanith said, "we want you and Skulduggery to be god parents" she exclaimed. Skulduggery looked at Valkyrie, "we would love to" he said and beamed.
They had been there for hours before Fletcher finally teleported them home. Valkyrie had fallen asleep so Skulduggery carefully carried up to bed. He laid her down and pulled the covers over her and tucked her in. He gently slipped in next to her and she cuddled up into his side. He smiled at her, "I love you" he whispered, "with all my heart, you know, I want us to be like Ghastly and Tanith one day. Maybe we could be parents, think of it I will have a second chance at a family; I promise I will protect you. I will never let anything hurt you. You're my precious Valkyrie Pleasant." By the time he had finished his little speech he had a small tear in his eye. He leant down to kiss her forehead but she moved quickly and kissed him. "Skulduggery that was the cutest thing I have ever heard. Oh and make sure I am actually asleep next time." She giggled
He glared at her but she pulled him towards her and hugged him then slid down in the bed, pulling him with her. He pulled her into his chest and cuddled her. She soon fell asleep in his arms and he closed his eyes, he still didn't need to sleep but he just enjoyed the feeling of holding her and knowing that for that moment, nothing could harm her, nothing could take her away.
He woke up to sunlight blinding him, he felt cold and realised that Valkyrie wasn't there. He sat up and looked around the room, he saw the window open and panicked, what if something had happened. He shot up and ran down the stairs, shouting her. He ran into the kitchen to find Valkyrie stood there staring at the table. "Valkyrie what is it?" he asked quietly then he looked where she was looking, "how did that get there, It was at the sanctuary under security" on the table was the long blade Valkyrie had used that had almost killed her. "I don't know" she stuttered and reached for it. "it just appeared," Skulduggery tried to get it away from her but she reached it first, as soon as her skin touched it her eyes shut tight and she screamed.
