Planet of Tygeria: Falox Saga - Chapter 12 of 21
By "Valor"
Valor turned and faced Riddick. "Please don't call me Claire I don't go by my middle name anymore."
Riddick looked annoyed because she hadn't answered the question. "What are you hiding from me? Because Falox must think it is very important if he is using it as a test."
Johns could hear and see everything he just hoped that Riddick didn't take the news badly. Knowing that he wanted children it should be ok but not knowing he has a child that may not go over so well. After all if Valor would have died the kid would have died with her. That would have killed Riddick to learn that. But Johns was more concerned as to how he will react now. Johns turned to Falox and said.
"Falox that was a dirty thing to do. You could have at least let her tell him when they were alone."
Falox just laughed and waited for Valor to tell Riddick about his son.
Valor wanted to ring Falox's neck. She had a look on her face that had a slight saddened look but it wasn't sadness she was expressing. Looking right at Riddick she just blurted it out. "The night I was left for dead outside the clinic I was ...I was pregnant..." Riddick stood there he was about to say something and Valor cut him off. "Just so you know I didn't know till after I woke up and you were gone. The baby was born fine and is with my cousin back on Taleria. I was going to tell you many times but didn't know how."
Riddick looked to Valor not showing any expression but if his eyes could be seen then all would see the tears in his eyes. "Well then it's good that you didn't know before you were attacked because if you would have known I would want to know why you hid that. But why the fuck did you hid it from me now? I mean you told me everything else that you hid. Valor..."
She didn't let him finish. "I didn't intend on keeping it from you but when I saw the position we were in here I didn't want to distract you with it. Back in the room I wanted to tell you but I knew you had to fight and I didn't want that to be on your mind as you tried to fight. You know me better I would never have hid it unless I needed to."
Riddick nodded and that's when his emotions took control. "Baby I wanted to be there for it all. I am so sorry you had to go through it all alone."
"I know you did and I wanted you there too. Your son knows who you are I mad sure of that. I also made sure that no one tells him otherwise." She was speaking of her mother who hated Riddick.
"A son. I have a son...What's his name?"
"Yes a son and his name is Viktor."
Johns watched for a minute he thought Riddick was going to blow up at Valor but he was glad he didn't. As he looked to Falox who looked very interested in the fact that Riddick was showing a softer side of himself he also noted that the woman by his side looked scared and her eyes were screaming for help.
Meanwhile back in the Ring. Riddick pulled Valor into a hug and kissed her. "I hope we can see him son I would like to meet my son. How old is he now?"
"You will baby. Oh he is about 5years old now."
"I have missed a lot. So have you I am assuming."
"Yes I have missed a lot too."
Riddick hugged her tight and whispered. "And you still want to have another?"
"Yes this time you can be there for it all." She whispered back. Falox took it all in and then just as quick as she was in the ring she was back by the warlords again and Riddick was alone. Johns looked at her with a smile.
"Guess you weren't expecting him to take it so well huh?"
"No I wasn't but I am glad he did."
Riddick got pissed and started to growl. "So the test is over I guess."
Falox didn't answer Riddick and he motioned to the guards who took Valor and Johns away and then took Riddick out of the ring. Back in the room Valor waited for Riddick. Johns was in the bathroom washing up somewhat. When the doors opened you could hear Riddick growling and they threw him in and slammed the doors.
"You ok baby?"
"Fine just asked a question and got no answer. It pissed me off. Where's Johns?"
Valor pointed to the bathroom. Riddick nodded and sat next to her he had some wounds and bruises but that didn't bother him at all. Johns exited the bathroom and looked at them.
"So I guess he is going to have another mind fuck in store for us later. Either that or he will just work our nerves till me die."
"Nice embellishment." Riddick said with a laugh.
"Yeah well this sure aint no pleasure cruise. Have you come up with anything yet Valor?"
"Still working on it. Give me some time." She said as she placed her head on Riddick's chest.
