"Do you think, they think, that we've gone mad?" Addison asked curiously, her eyes trained on the door as the couple waited.
"Possibly... To be honest though, I think they've thought that the whole time since we first started dating, love." Zed answered, offering the white haired girl, no, young woman, next to him, a reasurring smile, as well as giving her hand a loving squeeze. It was hard to think that it was already 7 years since they first met, fell in love and fought the world to stay together. Trying to imagined what his life would like to this day, if he hadn't met his Addison, he couldn't- wouldn't imagine. Despite what they had to go through, they had made it through, and was stronger than ever. People, the important ones anyway, and more had started to see Zombies in a new light, all thanks to Addison. He wouldn't change a thing. His life was perfect.
"I guess... but this is something completely new, never done before, it's even crazier than when we told them we're going to get married!"
He took a glance at the door, where his mother, and father-in-low as well as his own dad, and some of the council were locked behind. Neither himself, or Addison was allowed to pass, all they could do was sit still and wait. You see, yes the whole 'seeing Zombies in a new light' was very much true, and Zombies were allowed more of a life, there was still some matters that was frowned, or worried upon. And even though Zed's body had gone through changes, which somehow changed his DNA to become much more, human-like, like a beating heart. He was still considered more of a Zombie. Not that he minded that, he wasn't ashamed.
"Well, we are wanting to try for a baby, that's crossing our bloods, and we have no idea what the outcome could be Addy..." he tried to reason, he had tried many times to reason with his stubborn wife, trying to get her to see that they had no idea what this could mean.
"It'll result in a beautiful baby, one half of you, and one half of me!" She protested, giving the green haired man a glare, refusing to let anyone, not even Zed, tell her otherwise. How could a little baby, be so harmful, that they could get told they were not allowed to have their own family?
"Our child will be as beautiful as you my love, and as charming as I am," Zed smirked, nudging her shoulder to ease the tension, to his luck it worked. The woman gave a small smile and her shoulders dropped.
"But it's whether it's going to take over more of my Zombie side, or my newer human side, or something completely else. It's not as much us, or anyone else baby, as much as our child's own health. I'm not going to be selfish a put a child into this world, if it's going to struggle through it's entire life because we didn't know what us conceiving, would end with. I want our own family, much as you do, but whether it's through ourselves, or adopting, as long as they are healthy."
He hated when his wife cried, especially if he was the reason for it, and now he sort of was, but he had to make her see. And by the look in her eyes as she looked at him through the tears spilling over, he knew that she did. Pulling her close to him, he whispered comforting words into her hair, kissing her forehead.
They were too busy in their embrace to the door open, and Missy slipping out. It wasn't until she gave a little cough that Zed realised, Addison couldn't hear her above her own sobs. His mother-in-law gave him a sad smile, a worried look in her eyes at seeing her only child crying into her son-in-law's chest. Zed, Missy and Dale had gotten a much stronger relationship since they loosened up, and decided to give it a chance, and forget about the past. Sure, sometimes they still didn't agree, but they communicated, and got along. They accepted him as their daughter's husband, as much as they would have if he had been human. %100 human, anyway.
"They're ready for you now, dears."
