It's been a few days since the fight went down. The longer Thanos goes without apologizing the angrier Lily gets. She was thankful Sage could take her mind off things for a bit. In a way she forgot what it was like to take care of a newborn, the being up all night for feedings and diaper changes. Rose and Gamora would help after their teachings, whether it's getting a diaper or a change of clothes for Sage or watching him for a brief minute.
Night finally came around and Lily was beyond tired. Being up every 2 hours was catching up to her, she would however take a few small naps here and there during the day while Rose and Gamora were at their teachings. She put Sage in his cot then went to put on some pajamas. While she was changing she heard the door open, she scoffed in response.
When she walked back out Thanos was standing over Sage's cot. She could see a small smile on his face. He turned to look at her, his face faltering at her furrowed brows. Lily walked behind him and sat down on the bed. Thanos sighed and sat down next to her. He reached out to touch her arm, only she pulled it away. That's when he looked at her, his eyes showed some sadness. Lily didn't care though, she had every right to be angry.
"I'm sorry my flower. You were right, it is my fault our son was born two weeks early and you were right about me needing to tell you beforehand. Please forgive me?" He reached out again, this time Lily let him touch her.
She closed her eyes and sighed. "I forgive you. But I'm still angry at you, what if there was something wrong with Sage and we lost him, how would you feel about that?"
"Horrible knowing it would be my fault. I didn't think you would care if I left, it wasn't something new to us. I should've just listened to you. Maybe we don't know each other as well as I thought." Lily placed her hand on top of his and opened her eyes.
"That's because you don't let me know you. I try my best to make things work between us. Having children doesn't make our relationship full-proof Thanos. We need to communicate."
She watched him as he contemplated her words. When he didn't say anything she spoke up. "You can't expect us to have a good relationship built on sex and you occasionally telling me something about your past. The only reason I'm your wife is because you took me from my home. I didn't want this, but I made it work. Now I'm not even sure it's worth it since I know you'll never change."
Thanos' mouth fell slightly open at her words. Lily leaned back against the head board and crossed her arms. She raised a brow like she was taunting him. "Are you implying that if we talk more about our past, we'll have a better relationship? Have you ever considered the fact I don't want to change or talk about the shitty life I have?"
"Right you have a shitty life. I'm not the one going to planet after planet killing half it's occupants and taking one for them-self every now and then." She pinched the bridge of her nose. "I'm not saying I want to know everything about you. I just want to know more. We've been married almost 6 years and you're still a stranger."
"We'll talk about this tomorrow." Thanos got up and went to his side of the bed.
Lily shook her head, then got under the covers. He was hundreds of years old and he was acting like a child. In a way she was happy he apologized for what happened, but that only made a new argument start. She hoped things would work out better tomorrow, only time would tell. She got comfortable, then closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
