Here it is, I finished my handling with you all, enjoy the fic
Eventually someone in the Prydwen find the courage to tell the Elder what happened with the sentinel. Knight Kells took the responsibility to get yelled by the elder if it was necessary but
It didn't happen.
He informed the elder what happened with Sentinel Nora. Both reunited in the Command Deck as…well Kells proposed but…he didn't seem to care much, or at least react accordly. Arthur took a glass of Vodka with a pair of pills of buffout, something he rarely see on the elder, buffouts with alcohol were like gummy bears in whisky and just drank it as well Kells hoped he at least was listening.
So apparently the sentinel run trough his door, slam the guards of his quarters to the walls and steal her power armor from the workshop, shooting some soldiers who tried to stop her but only with a laser pistol, obviously causing a chaos and confusion inside the ship and everyone around, the woman was smart, didn't try to take a ventibird obviously, when Kell told him that she jump off the frontdeck to the direct sea with the power armor on…he spit on the ground surprising the other man with that action.
-Of course she would –he said loud, chewing on his tongue. This was expectable from her, since they meet in that place she look like having an intense urge to jump off. At first he could think it was an intrusive thought but noooooo it was pure desire to jump down now he had the confirmation. If he didn't have plenty confidence in his scribes work repairing the power armors that would surely make him puke his stomach out of his mouth in fear thinking that shell had an abortion or loose the baby jumping down, but no, his power armors were safe for everyone. If she throw herself down it was because the landing on the power armor was safe. Still, maybe not the best thing to do if you don't know what to do about a pregnancy.
-We lost her track underwater, who knows how far she walked on the bottom of the sea, my first idea was looking in castle for her but we arrived there and found nothing, it was a normal day of work for the people in that place, nobody seem up to of what was happening, the sentinel wasn't there –the elder take another shot of vodka, annoyed- all soldiers are on watch in all bases an the ones patrolling in ventibirds too.
-But Nora is good avoiding ventibirds –another shot in- it was a good idea, surely long planned.
-Falling from the Prydwen to the airport is dangerous enough but do it in the deep ocean…she must know were the bottom is, the armor cant stop, swim or float, it will drive you directly to the bottom and you have to make your way out of there.
-She is a good swimmer, I bet she knew how the land was
-There was a good amount of hurt soldiers too, no one tried to approach enough because well…-again, like the first time they were talking about Nora not so long ago- she is the sentinel, we cant go against her, even if we knew that something was very very wrong, but everything happend too fast to knew in what kind of situation we were involved and if…we were where authorized to act in time, she surely wont have the chance to scape –Arthur stay in silence, sure, in that moment he was crying against the pillow like a little girl, obviously he wouldn't have the guts to inform the whole ship that the sentinel had to be arrested because she rejected him. Pffff obviously.
-Ill give my proper apologies to the soldiers in no time, send me their names and ill arrange some sort of reward for their bravery –after all, trying to stop Nora was indeed a pure gesture of bravery, she was as hard to beat like a Yao Guai.
-Again Elder, im sorry we let her have the chance to scape. I wish we had more time to act.
Arthur wished he had more time to act too.
-She is sneaky and slips away, don't worry, ill take care of organizing her search
-You expected this to happened? –the question almost offends the elder but he keep it together to not look like a madman.
-I imagine how this situation could be, like a plan B –another shot, Kells was worried for a couple fight this as a little…hardcore. For a moment the thought of telling him that his wife and him often had similar fights cross his mind but she wouldn't try to jump down the zeppelin to the deep sea, maybe stab him or break a bottle in his head but not that much.
-We are on wait of whatever mission you want to assign us elder.
-Ill call you, thanks for the report
Kells walk past the entrance, near to the stairs, but he wouldn't dare to turn the head and watch back to look at the sound of glass tearing and crushing to the floor. No. He wouldn't.
So all this drama happened while he was crying out and loud…ahhhhh it was amazing how your heart can make you forget all around you doesn't? Fuck this was ridiculous. A hand went to tear down his beard, causing him pain, shutting his eyes and crossing the eyebrows until the pain became annoying to bear.
He allows too much. Too condescending on people who wouldn't appreciate it.
Even right now his chest hurted, to breath, move, functioning, exist…everything, it just hurted at each second, cried a lot but the pain wouldn't go away, eyeslids still inflamed and big, red and shiny. It was embarrassing to be presented in this state in front of his soldiers, with the nose all red and runny but he cant do anything about it, it was just the way his broken heart make him to be, he should be glad to still be around and not die of sadness…Arthur took a deep breath, looking at the shattered glass an the vodka liquid in the floor. A foot raise and step on a big piece of glass, stepping on top, hopping that his weight would break the glass just in one attempt to play a bit with the sound of the broken glass. A sight came out from his mouth, this was pointless.
He keep his promise of waiting five days, of course, she didn't come back, as he expected obviously. But didn't have much time, or energy or the actual possibility to give that much entity, yes in dead times his mind slip to think in her pregnancy, if by any chance she was still pregnant with his son…but then obligations and things to do would crush him, lately he had to deal and talk with other elders of other chapters…things were doing good for the brotherhood, for his chapter specially, apparently he did a good job and people were recognizing his leadership. This was good, some actually brotherhood of steel job to do and keep his mind busy, is not like he didn't want to worry or think in his unborn son…it just wasn't healthy to worry this much, so better don't do it, better don't have the possibility to worry, if he had the chance to worry he started to feel sick.
Also there was some activities…he can perform with this new time…some…investigations to do. Planning to perform, plans B to imagine.
It wasn't a good thing to not know anything, obviously but the truth is that he didn't send any alert, patrol, group, message…unconsciously, he was expecting her to show up, he didn't want to put any effort anymore…but thing is that according to Cades dates…she was nearly 90 days pregnant and nowere to be seen. Fuck it. At day 80 he put an alert on every brotherhood post to start searching in the surroundings for sentinel Nora also groups started to patrol in the Commonwealth actively coming out from the airport in her search.
It took 5 days for a team to get a clue where she was around, in which area…and another 5 days to confirm were her hideaway was…bingo.
Of course it would be Listening Post Bravo. But as much he hated that place it was necessary for him to go there, Nora will only appear in front of him. Heck, she would run away from an army of soldiers if it was necessary so he should move his ass no matter the amount of important job he had to do, or the time it robbed him…Arthur sigthed at that thought, no, its true he had a lot in his hands this days, that a big proyect was soon to see light but…he was worried about his son, and also miss her, a lot. She didn't allow anybody to be worried but he can miss her.
So a ventibird take him there, it was a dangerous zone with Deathclaws around so a group was patrolling around the post inside and outside…
The post was incredibly clean, no dirt, no trash, no debris…it was old and destroyed of course, some unnecessary and broken furniture around but it really was clean, even tho there was some destruction like holes in the walls and landslides difficult to fix for only one person, it was obvious that she was there and around, Nora cant stand dirty places, she always said that having a clean environment contributes to a good mood, that it cost nothing to be clean and organized at least, the world may end but that's not excuse to not pick your shit up. Sanctuary was a pretty clean place too it was true.
Arthur would go down the bunker were there was a pair of shut down turrets and a turn off protectron, of course, her work, as she was good hacking.
Looking around he found a bed, a bag, one radio, lamp, a crate and some ammo boxes. The crate had some clothes and armor, also a soap, toothbrush, toothpaste and and and and apparently the boxes of food from the institute she told him about, unopened, a good ration for what seems to be a lot of days…He sighted and throw himself into the clean bed, rolled up a few times and stay looking up, hands on his chest, eyes closed. Hearing his surroundings, the soldiers talking, the steps of power armors on the surface, people patrolling up walking in the ceilings…being here on this place cause him noise, noise on his head, he was alone down there in the bunker after giving the order to his soldiers and still there was noise. His modified earing sense can of course get a track of everything on the surface and people around but that wasn't the reason why his head cant be in silence.
Staying in her bed, in the one that he can confirm it was hers make him sleepy, and he decided why not? After all he had to wait for her to show up, so he close his eyes and rest, not so sure for how many hours, partially awake partially sleep, resting but ready to get up if something happens. Resting, not sleeping. Trying to disperse the noise hearing his own breathing resonate in all his body, traveling down into each limb.
After what it felt like a few hours later, someone dare to put a pair of hands over his shoulders. And the only one with the confidence enough to do that…
-Arthur –a feminine voice call him, the man open his eyes just to find Nora looking all worried at him. Ah, was this a dream? He got up and off from bed just to hug her and for his surprise, she corresponded the hug, hugging as tight as him. In the moment he sniffed in her hair he knew this wasn't a dream, a fantasy, a trick of his mind, this was real, she was there in his arms. She allowed herself to be lifted slightly into the air by the force of his embrace, not wanting to break the moment, she missed being in his arms so bad.
-Nora –he said hiding his face in her warm neck, her hair getting a bit tangled in his beard- thank god you are oaky –his breath was slowing down and relaxing like he hadn't feel in weeks, gosh he needed this so bad.
-I miss you –she said clawing her nails into his battle coat, also sniffing in his hair, taking all of his essence and smell to remember, really miss him a lot, this wasn't satisfying or easy to do, she was tired, exhausted of running away.
-I miss you too –he corresponded, despite how angry and annoyed he was at her, how much she broke his heart and make him cry, how mad he was for doing this to his son…he missed her terribly, he cant help but have this intense need to be close and recover lose time, it was far beyond logic, he should be so mad an angry that no matter if he was the one looking for her he shouldn't be so…soft…but even if it matter he cant avoid hugging her like it was a primary need, because it was right now, he loved her. He let this things surpass him because he loved her.
They stay like that for a moment, Arthur put her feets on the ground but they keep hugging, just hugging, relaxing their breathings together, feeling the other presence close again.
Until the man felt that something was…weird, not normal from all the hugs they had before…over his stomach and one of his brave hands went forward from the back of her waist to the front of her body, placing on top of her belly. She had on her vault suit and an armor only covering her chest but even before finishing processing what he was feeling under his palm her tight grip surprise him, one of her hands was grabbing strong his wrist stopping him in place, not allowing to move at all.
Still, he was feeling what he suspect he was touching so clearly, and at looking up and stare at her chocolate eyes, her grip soften, her eyebrows relaxed, her muscles calmed, the next thing he felt was a hand pressing his onto her belly, directly holding him there.
His breath stopped and he separated a bit, not taking off his hand since she was even holding him there. Eyes turned down were his palm was and a gasp leave his mouth.
-I grew a lot this month –she just said, moving his hand slowly up and down on her belly.
Yes, she was still skinny, but her belly was so solid and firm, slightly curved, it wasn't much but because she was so skinny it was easy to separate it from the rest of her torso. Its true, she wasn't this…bloated last month, the last time he see her naked she had the same flat stomach of always, now it look really different.
A big breath escape from his mouth feeling so so relieved…yes…she was still carrying his child…
-Have you been eating? –he didn't expect exactly worse from this specific situation he just didn't know what to expect.
-Yes, I can eat institute meals here with more freedom than in the Prydwen, its more fresh food than pre-wars at least…-his fingers started to move slowly in circles over his belly, being incapable to take off his eyes from there, it wasn't big but the sensation was definitely there.
-Are you feeling okay? –from now he had to be careful with his words, again, she was there he had to try to hold her again.
-My waist and stomach hurts all time but I think is one of the symptoms…-his eyebrows crossed, that didn't sound good, much less down here alone.
-Have you been down here for a long time?
-A pair of weeks ago I thought I bleed one time and I got all scared –at hearing that the man shiver, getting also scared- turns out it wasn't my blood anyway but I felt so bad to need to settle for a bit, so here I am, walking out to loot stuff in places I know are safe –did she engage fights like this? Nono, much worse, she is going out still? Nonono.
-Do you remember that house you reservated at Croup Manor? The one I told you I want to repair for us? –she nodded, again he needed to handle this conversation carefully. Ah but the feeling of his hand on her belly was so relaxing… it makes him slip-I was working lately on it...the roof is ready, there aren't any water leakings from rain or anything anymore, the next thing Ill be working is the windows, once the house is sealed and the only entrances are the door and windows when we open them ill start with the floors –again she nodded.
-That's good –she said with a smile, breathing out like he was doing too, for some reason her hands started to shake and he didn't understand why, fearing anything, he press his palm a bit more onto her belly.
-Wheres your power armor? I thought you left with one –for some reason her whole body started to shake, he noticed this and put a hand on her back, caressing up and down looking at her eyes, she look like she was about to cry.
-Hidden, this days I went out to find loot to repair it since I didn't have much stuff here…
-Don't worry, I can fix it –he smiled to reassure her and his gaze involuntary look down on her belly again, he cant believe that she was so big with his child…their child together…
-Arthur im scared –she said and the man hug her again, still with a palm on her belly, doing circles with his fingers.
-Im here for you…-he whisper and she left his hand to close her arms in his neck, sobbing, breathing to try to calm herself- its going to be fine
-Im so confused, I ran off to find a solution but when I see blood in my pants I couldn't recognize it it was…from someonelese, mine or…or…mine…-he understand what she meant- and I panicked and hide here, I was so afraid
-You were afraid that he was hurt
-Yes –she said, and that really disturbed Arthur a lot, after all hearing that confidence response after she asked to help her to get an abortion…
-I wouldn't let anything happen to any of you…-she sobbed some more, the man was so nervous, after all it wasn't easy to hold this conversation, anything could go wrong like the other times
-I miss you –he nodded and she separated for a bit, looking into his blue eyes.
-You know I been quite busy this weeks –that's not the reason why he didn't try to find her all this weeks but oh well- I made some arrangements to bring some technology for maternity medical procedures, at the Prydwen theres now a machine to do ultrasounds…
-I thought there was already one –ultrasounds are required for a lot of medical purposes.
-This is a transvaginal, is special for pregnancys –ohnonononono, Noras eyes open wide and she try to step back, but Arthur was holding her, even if it was just an embrace, she didn't found a way to get out. He panicked, and hold her, taking off his hand of her belly with all the pain in the world to secure her arms- Nora!?
-No! im not doing it –she said feeling how the air around her disappeared, feeling suffocated.
-Nora you need to do check ups you are already 3 months and…-for not having any kind of belly before, now she was big that was surely interesting.
-Im not seeing it! I don't want to see it! –what?
-What are you talking about?
-Im not taking a peek how it looks like! –why not? Arthur was confused, he grabbed her hands and then look at her belly, it didn't have any sense.
-Nora its been a month since your last check up you need…
-Im don't want to be a mom again! I don't want to look at it! –what? No
-What are you saying? You clearly want it you are 3 months now! –again this fights crave hard into his head giving him strong headaches.
-I couldn't do anything! That's why im this far!
-You are confused!
-Im confused…-she said, stopping, staying frozen in her place, runny nouse out and loud- im confused but I know I just know that I don't want to be a mom again
That doesn't have any sense
-Nora please –he tried to be convincing- well go to the Prydwen, take a shower, eat some tasty donuts with coffee, change your clothes…and take a revision with Cade to check on you…
-No I wont! I cant!
Arthur separated and lift his hands and open them in the air, to show her he wasn't a menace, shutting his eyes, fucking hell. Took a moment, breath out, plan his next move and…bite his tongue.
-I find something interesting of…when you were a just knight…I was surprised I didn't heard this about you earlier –she lift her head and look at him, crying feeling rejected when he separated even if she wanted to get out from his arms- turns out you ran a group of raiders called the operators- the sentinel open wide her eyes, stepping back, hugging herself, he never got this far in her life- there's often a lot of talent wasted on that people, this chick Lizzie could be such a talented scribe if she weren't a psyco but despite that she was cooperative after one of her ears pop out her head –when the man hold a persuasion grenade out of the pockets of his jacket Nora tried to run back but Arthur throw the grenade first and this one crushed in the ground spreading a gas that she recognized as familiar from a different time- how many secrets you have? General of the Minutemen, Mother and candidate to leader of the institute, Leader of a gang group –something make her stop, something burning her nostrils and lungs, making her cought a lot- Sentinel of the Brotherhood of Steel…what now? top member of the Railroad? I guess it doesn't matter since that folks disappeared a long while ago.
A bitter taste fill the mans mouth, he wasn't used to being a son of a bitch, and never imagined he had to be that with her of all people…
-I guess its hard to commit…-she said cocky, falling to the ground when her knees surrender, Arthur felt the strong need to go and help her but…no…he was already helping…helping her to accept his help.
-You always got so many options Nora –he said walking behind her. Grabbing both fists and pushing her back down, being careful with how he tried to subdue her but the reality is that she was letting herself be done, she didn't know exactly if she was afraid of hurting herself or because the gas was working very well when not rebelled against him, in either case she was under his control and didn't try to defend himself too much- and never liked any
-I figured out a solution –she said in a whisper, feeling her eyelids heavy falling against her cheeks, feeling extremely tired and weak- the three of us aren't together…but you got what you want –he raised an eyebrow not understanding, what did she mean?
-There's no solution where the three of us aren't together –he said again, her breathing was…stopping, calming down, going slower as she fall asleep.
That diary of her really was useful he was glad Preston insisted him on reading it, although he didn't want to sneak into her secrets at all she had too many, some of them had to be useful sometimes and here we are, using a chemical weapon on her. He sat next to her were she was slowly falling asleep, watching her, exactly falling asleep because she was starting to snore that was a good way to check up. Even if he was also breathing that gas that raider Lizzie make a good job "adapting" the drug for Nora, too bad she was a raider and not someone capable of redemption because she will be a great asset for Nerea.
He sighted, she was confused but slowly…wanting it? I mean she feared of getting hurt or having a miscarriage for sure, that means she kinda cares for it, it was an advance, surely an advance but their relationship wasn't getting any better, this was worse than the first times indeed. Would Nora reach to hate him for this things? He feared that, he wanted to be all together.
His hands tried to move her and spin her in her front, nose and mouth up so she wouldn't asfixiate by mistake, then he look at her: the only thing the blue vault suit does for her is clothing, even in how skinny she is she says that she feels trapped with other clothes and an armor on top, like is too tight, there it was was her classical gunners combat green armor which only protected certain areas but…it was smart, there wasn't such a thing as armor for pregnant women so her belly needs to be out.
It wasn't noticeable unless he put a hand on top, and he did, caressing it slowly, by doing it he get an instant gratification feeling in his head, even if the situation was horrible and she was…well…sleepy, unconseous…
He wished so badly that everything would work out in the end.
When her body finally stopped moving, he waited for 10 minutes, sitting at her side, caressing her belly and arms, with almost no air on his chest, something crossing his throat side to side making him unable to swallow saliva and then he knee to place a hand under her legs and back and use almost no force at all to carry her up, securing his hold to be able to walk and not drop her by accident. His eyes turned down on her belly and his fingers closed around her leg and arm more, no, nothing would happen to any of them no matter how difficult she made everything.
The doors of the elevators open and all soldiers turn around to see him carrying Nora, they escorted him to the ventibird and help to go on and sat her securely on a seat. Still even with all that movement she was sleeping.
Why did Nora just show up in the bunker if there was soldiers in the entrance? Because he allow them, if she by any chance come back will notice that he was there by the amount the soldiers they just move aside and let her go in, and she did. They weren't there to arrest Nora or anything, they were just there because it was a Deathclaw zone, but his plan was wait and let her come back to her bunker.
When everyone arrived the Prydwen Arthur follow his plan, take her first for a revision before she wakes up and try to fight against it, and of course put handcuffs on each side of the gurney of Knight Cade nursery. Of course it was rude to do that type of revision without her consent but when he enter on that nursery he was desesperate to check if his son was okay, if anything was wrong with the pregnancy so her feelings and comfort move to a second place in order to perform that exam, after all he had to tell the other chapters elders that he was expecting a baby in order to get that machine…he did sacrifices to.
Of course it wasn't something he or Knight Cade will perform, not without their sister consent, so another female scribes-nurses did it, following Cade instructions. It felt just wrong if she didn't consent, of course the fact that they were womans didn't make it any better but this was necessary and she already tell him that she didn't want to do it, it was beyond Arthur, this needed to be done.
For some reason it took a while until the machine was set and they found what they were looking.
-Elder can you see the white and black circle? –said Cade. Of course not, he didn't understand shit, so the knight pointed at the screen the exact thing- that's your son, its too early to know anything like the sex or any kind of disease but there it is.
Arthur let a long and big breath come out his chest, looking at the screen with stars on his eyes.
-Congratulations elder –said one of the nurses
-Congratulations elder Maxson –bringing this machine here took a lot of work but it was worth just for this moment, even if Nora wasn't awake to see it. But she wouldn't want it anyway
-Sorry for the wait it took a while to find it, turns out it was hiding and not letting be seen, sometimes that happen, its my first time using one of this machines but I read very carefully the manuals to knew all possibility's
-It's a thing of position –said one of the nurses to reassure the elder who seemed kinda frighten by the image on the screen. Surely he was, the elder was young and this pregnancy wasn't coming in easy terms for him. This wasn't ideal for sure.
-So its everything alright? –he asks still looking at the screen, not daring to look back at Nora.
-There's no bruises, clots, balls, points, cyst…everything seems normal on her uterus –again, he breathed out, covering his face with his hands, breathing through his fingers.
-Can we have a picture of this? To check evolution, I think –ask Arthur.
-Of course, we are filming this to have a file to reproduce on terminals
-Can I have a copy?
-Of course –he kinda smiled at it but the fact that Nora was unconscious behind him didn't let him finish that smile, he was pretty aware that this was horrible.
Cade told the nurses something he can't quite understand but just ask him to wait a little longer there with them, Arthur stood there, just watching at the screen, the image moving as they were trying to adjust or find something…but after 20 minutes unable to apparently change nothing, they give up and just disarmed the machinery, separating it from Nora and leaving it simply in bed.
-Sorry for the wait, I thought I see something but no, must be a glitch on the screen –said Cade making the elder raise an eyebrow.
-You thought you see what?
-Nothing important, like I said it was a flash and we haven't be able to catch it back, if there's something we are going to see it in future checkups
-What are we doing about the handcuffs? –ask one of the scribes, Arthur said nothing and let Cade talk he was actually ashamed that this was his situation.
-Leave it, I still need to perform other tests before she is…undone –this was indeed something difficult to do and talk, if it wasn't because the elder was there he surely would said no to play with the body of a brotherhood sister, specially the sentinel. The scribes agreed and once they weren't needed anymore leave out the room, Arthur swallow saliva and look at her in the gourney, just laying with her hands up on the handcuffs
-Can I stay here until she wakes up? –he asked taking a seat in a chair in front of her gurney, feeling bad for all this situation, his head hurt a lot actually.
-Of course, im going to take a blood test to check on her levels although I don't expect much, I just hope to not see any trace of drugs, I can take the chance to put an intravenous and give a vitamin treatment.
-Its okay, do it, surely she needs it more than just the baby…-then he remembers something- she told me her waist and stomach hurt a lot
-Normal, totally normal, she is growing and we see nothing off normal, its part of the process, we can give her light painkillers but im sure she is also weak
Cade took the blood sample from her arm like any blood sample should be but on Arthurs mind he was…taking some time, looking at Nora too much, like searching for something….but he faded that thought away, maybe it was his anxiety and desesperation making him think that life moved too slowly for his needy brain. Then he put the cocktail of intravenous vitamins he prepared a side and spike her, putting a tape to hold the needle there, even if her arm was still because she wasn't moving at all.
-What about a urine test? –ask the elder, looking for every detail.
-When she is awake and cooperative there's no need to rush, I taking this sample to the lab I want to see how much narcotics are in her blood to estimate when she should wake up, after all it was the drug made from a raiders recipe…-Arthur nodded and the man went out the room, leaving the elder alone with noise in his head, a lot of noise. Cade knew his plan since the beginning because Arthur told him how they should procedure in case he had to bring Nora back against her will.
He look at her, leaving his gaze rest on her beautiful face for a few minutes in silence until he noticed something weird that almost make him jump.
-Nora? –he asked more for himself than anything, but slowly her eyes twitched and open, scaring the shit out of him.
-Are we alone? –a raspy and low voice came from her red lips, he swallowed saliva and his chest moved back, tense.
-You are awake –he said but she didn't move much, just tried to move her head to the sides, testing a bit of movement with her eyebrows.
-Conscious –she said and then cought, Arthur raise from the chair and stand in front of her in case she needed anything- I cant almost move at all
-Im so sorry –said Arthur frozen in his place, feeling his back tense with a cold shiver running down his spine- Im so so sorry about this
-You would gain conscious if you were impaled like me too –luckily her tongue wasn't sleepy too.
-Don't be a jackass –he said biting his tongue nonono he shouldn't respond like that –don't exaggerate, it was a safe procedure.
-Of course, I don't doubt of Cade abilities
They stay in silence for a few moments, unable to see each other.
-Did you see it? –he asked and see the confusion on his face- our son
-No, I had my eyes closed pretending to not be awake –looking up her fingers were trying to move, twitching too, Arthur look at her from head to toes, taking a moment to breath out.
-Do you want to see it?
-No –her immediate response make him bite his tongue, almost feeling the urge to cry, why?
-Its our child Nora –he said putting a hand on her cheek, but she moved to the other side- you cant just say you don't want it anymore
She stay in silence and then shut her eyes.
-I messed up, I can't be a mom again
-You wanted to side with the institute back then? That will be only way to forgive yourself!? If you fulfilled your twisted son whishes you would be a good mother to him!?
She stays in silence and he see her eyes water too.
-I don't know
He sit in a side of the bed, caressing her cheek feeling how tense she was.
-Im willing to wait until you feel ready to be a mom, but this child right now is going to be the elders firstborn no matter what, and I know you also want it that way
-Its not about you –she repeated, and he nodded, going down to leave a kiss on her forehead.
-Im willing to wait for you, but not for our child, it cant wait and I will not wait for it
Arthur was dead serious about this.
A sound of the handcuffs moving and hitting against the gurney head surprise him, Nora was trying to move her hands off.
-So are you willing to tell your son that you trapped and enclosed his mother until he was born or what?
She looks at him furious, face filled with rage and that snapped Arthur out of his mind. No. Not like this.
He moved back and sit on the chair he was before, looking at the ground while the noise increases in his head and heard her cry.
Not like this.
