He told her to abort me or she'll loose his love
Denahi was waiting outside the school with Saya by his side. A female Belgian Malinois who had retired from the marines and had been adopted by her partner's family.
The bell school rings, many kids were coming out from school. Denahi was looking for his kids until Saya started to bark. There they were, a ten years old girl that was the feminine version of Denahi along with her little sister, a five years old little girl with dark brown hair, white skin, slanted eyes and wide nose. The oldest was named Meztli and the youngest Aleu.
The girls looked at the direction of the barks, they saw with happiness their father and their dog.
"Daddy!"they both said as they reached their dad.
"Hey!"
Denahi hugged both of his daughters as Saya was also reclaiming some love.
"Are we gonna pick up mom?"Meztli
"Of course we will"
Everyone got on the truck, Denahi drove to the marine corps base where a female uniform was waiting outside the entrance. Her name was Rosario Alvarez, a Mexican immigrant now citizen. Her hair and skin were like Aleu's, she wearied glasses and had some tattoos on her body. She and Denahi had met in high school, they were really good friends since both of them had stuff in common, like being raised without a father. After high school, Denahi went to college to study medicine while Rosario joined the marine corps as a dog handler. But after some years of service, both soldier and dog had enough. So Rosario adopted Saya while she would keep working on the marine corps base, as a trainer for the new recruits.
"Hola"she said as she entered the truck.
"Hi mom"
"Hey girls"
"Hey babe"
"Hola Flaquito"
They kissed each other and then Denahi started to drive back home.
"So, how was school today?"Denahi
"As always, boring and nothing interesting"Meztli"What about you?"
"With a lot of patients to check, and you precious?"
"We have a new guy, he was the target for the training but, he didn't wear the pants. Guess what happened"
"Ouch, poor guy"
"I even recorded it, it was so hilarious"
...
"Night cricket"he told his oldest daughter and then he kissed her forehead.
"Night daddy, I love you"
"Love you more"
He lowered to Aleu's bed since the girls shared their room and slept in bunk beds.
"Night sweetheart"and he kissed his forehead.
"Daddy?"
"Hmm?"
"Can you tell us a bed time story?"
"About what?"
"Maybe about how was my grandfather. You never tell us about him, was he like you?"
Denahi did his best to hide his pain from his daughter, but he couldn't resist that cute and innocent expression on her face. Hopefully, Meztli wasn't asleep yet, so she helped her dad.
"Aleu, please go to sleep, tomorrow we have school"
"Your sister's right, tomorrow you have school. Maybe another time, okay?"
Aleu thought for a moment, then she nodded at her father and he caressed her head. Denahi got on his feet and reached the door.
"Night girls"
"Night Daddy"
And he left the room to join his wife on bed, once they were sure the girls were asleep, they started to make love. But Rosario realized that something was wrong with her husband, Denahi was always sweet and gentle when they made it, sometimes even more passionate. But this time, he was rough, on sex, on the touching, on the sounds, something was bothering him.
"Are you alright?"Rosario, she was under her husband looking at his eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"You were too rough"
"Shit, did I hurt you?"asked Denahi with worry about hurting his wife.
"I'm okay, but... I think something's bothering you"
Denahi took a moment before speaking, he got off of her and lay by her side.
"Aleu asked me about Him"
"Hmm, I see. Do you wanna tell her now or you wanna wait a little more?"
"I don't know yet, how old was Meztli when we told her about Them?"
"Seven, I think we should wait a little more. Aleu is still young, at least you feel ready to tell her"
Denahi smiled at Rosario, they explored each other's mouths, Denahi rested his head on his wife's naked chest, an arm wrapped around her, while Rosario was hugging him and ran her fingers through his hair.

"I can't believe you!"he told her"How could you let that happen?!"
"It's your child!"
After Hinun's death, Qigik met another man, Joshua: Denahi's father. After Sitka turned one they met by some friends. They started to hangout, but Joshua was totally different from Hinun. He was a divorced man due to his alcoholism, he worked as a security guard on a stripper club in one of the poorest and most dangerous areas of the town. His routine was: work on the day turn, went to drink and smoke in a bar until late night and then returned home. Then he joined Qigik on bed, stinking alcohol and cigarette, striped and had sex with her. With or without her consent, he didn't care anyway, he was bigger and stronger than her. He always had control over her on bed, but one day that had consequences. Qigik started to have the same symptoms she had with Sitka, she then did a pregnancy test that resulted positive. When she told Joshua, his reaction wasn't really pleasant.
"You have to get rid of that thing"
"What?! No! This is our baby!"
"I already have enough of providing for your son! This thing will become just one more mouth to feed! I don't have enough money!"
"Well if you wouldn't waste it on alcohol and cigarettes-"
"DON'T TELL ME HOW TO SPEND MY MONEY! I'm gonna put this straight: is it either that thing or me. You choose, you wanna keep my love? Okay, but you most abort that freak of nature. Or , you wanna keep that thing? Alright, but you'll never see me again"
Qigik couldn't believe that what was happening, Joshua wanted her to abort their baby. That child had not the blame of anything and Qigik knew that. She would keep the baby, next morning Joshua had take his stuff, walked out the door and never came back. Qigik became a single mother of a toddler and a newborn boy who she named Denahi. After his birth, Qigik found Joshua to try to change his mind, but he just pushed away his son in his mother's hands. Denahi knew the truth after he turned seven.
