Chapter 19:Arkward Bonds (Cain's POV)

I'm in a field with flowers, a clear sky and little butterflies…Wait a minute! What the hell? I walk on and see a little cottage with a stream. I stop dead in my tracks as I saw Abel dressed in a sunny bonnet, a spring yellow dress and smiling sweetly.

"'Care for some lemonade dear, I made it just for you.'" He chirped. I gulped and noticed that he was no longer pregnant! My heart dropped.

"Abel, where are the children?"

"Oh, they're playing." Abel said cheerily as he set the tray onto a table clothed with a white table cloth with little ducks on it. I wanted to puke. I turned and bit back a scream as I saw my kids, a little girl with golden blond hair, in a little blue dress and pigtails and a boy with silver hair wearing a sailor suit! They were playing with a lamb. They looked at me with cute wide eyes and scrambled to me.

"'Daddy! Play with us'!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed as I shot up in bed in a cold sweat. I heard Abel moan next to me, shifting to get comfortable as I tried to control my racing heart. That was a fucking nightmare! I thought as I ran my hands through my now short hair. The dream was too scary to go back to sleep so I quickly got dressed and went to the training room. I needed to calm my nerves and the best way for me to do so, was to tire myself out. I walked into the room and stopped still. There, at the sandbags, was Leon.

"Hmph, you couldn't sleep either Terran?"

"Nah," Leon said as he threw a couple of punches. "What crawled up your ass and died blondie?" I looked at him and growled, doing a couple of somersaults. When I finished I turned to look at him, seeing a smirk on his face.

"What is your deal Terran, do you want pain?"

"If you need to let your anger out, go ahead. What's the deal with you?"

"If you must know, I had a bad dream."

"About what?" He asked, interested in what I had to say as we prepped for another sparring match. I rolled my eyes but lunged at him anyway. As we fought, I explained to him what I dreamt and to my surprise, he laughed.

"Oh, that's normal." He said as he calmed himself. "You have the dream any man would get before they become a father."

"Normal, you have children?"

"I don't wear this locket for fashion you know." He said as he pointed to it. He looked sad for a moment before he looked at me. "I have a daughter and before she was born, I was scared to shit. I wasn't sure I would be cut out for the father business. I woke up with sweats and nightmares almost every night but you know what, when the kid's finally born and they look at you, it's all worth it."

"Why aren't you with your daughter?"

"I haven't fulfilled my promise to her." He answered. "You may be a warlord and a hot head, but buddy, let's face it, you're in the same boat as me." With that he went out and stopped at the door. "Come on, let's go for a run. It might do you some good."

"Like we can run in these…."

"We do it all the time. Who knows, we may run into some trouble." I had to smile at that. I needed to clear my head. With a sigh, I joined the brunette and we left the church and roamed the streets. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath of the dawn air. It was glorious. I opened my eyes and saw Leon smirking.

"Come on Blondie lets get on move on!" I chuckled and darted on, leaving him cursing and eating my dust. We didn't get too far for I heard a scream from the church. We both stopped and looked at each other.

"Abel…." We said in unison as we dashed back to the church and to the kitchen. There was Abel screaming bloody murder.

"WHO ATE THE DOUBLE STUFFED OREOES?!" He roared, his eyes red and hair up. We looked at each other then did the most sensible thing: We ran!

There will be more on Abel and babies so stay tuned!
