Anyway, I said I might or might not have one more part for this arc and I decided to get it out of the way. Enjoy.
Reine and Shido sat at a table in a café in silence. Reine looked up at the blue-haired man across from her and she frowned, "Shin," the changeling looked up arched a brow in confusion, "I would like to apologize for my behavior that led you to live this life. I shouldn't have been involved in that mess. I regret it an-"
"How about instead of apologizing for leaving me, why don't you tell me why you said what you said to the others?" Shido sighed and Reine frowned, "I don't understand, mom. I have nine mates, we have a lot of kids together and none of us feel that way about even one of them. I always thought that a parent's job is to be there for their children, guide and help them grow,"
"Shin-"
"When I was born…I had no choice but to trust you, you, not dad…I was supposed to trust you and you were supposed to shield me from the dangers of the world, but instead, you and dad tried to kill me and take out a life insurance policy."
"I know…I shouldn't have said you were a mistake," Reine frowned and shook her head, "When you were born, you were such a happy baby…the first time I held you, I felt joy, but I was inexperience when it came to children and I was worried that I would somehow mess up and something terrible would happen…I know that sounds like a terrible excuse, but it is the-"
"I can tell when people are lying, mom," Shido sighed and crossed his arms, "But you're right, nothing you say won't sound like an excuse." The air between the two grew still before Shido frowned and looked away as he rubbed the back of his head, "Listen mom, Shiori's birthday is next weekend and the kids have been asking about you since you left, so…if you want…you can stop by and see your grandchildren and wish Shiori a happy birthday and maybe stay for a while longer,"
Reine slightly smiled as she stood up, "I would like that, Shin, thank you," Shido stood up and nodded before the two went their separate ways.
Might have one more…I don't know…enjoy.
