Errorist (n)
Someone who repeatedly makes mistakes or is usually wrong
Cherie's POV
"I just think it's perfect time to have a baby. We've been married for a few months and most people would be expecting by now." Delroy explains as he cuts into a runny egg I made him.
No! No, I'm not ready yet.
Slight panic ensues as he waits for me to answer. One day I may want children, but not today or any time soon.
"Don't you think the timing is a little off? One of my best friends is facing trial that we're witnessing today."
Today is the day I find out if Keely is convicted for killing her father. I'm so frightened for her, I couldn't watch her execution.
I haven't even been able to go see Bakkhos, Rabiah, and Zuko since the last time. I miss them terribly but Keely needs me here and so does Sachi.
Delroy and I got into a huge argument the night I returned. He caught me sinning and I've got to admit, I was horrible for doing. But I couldn't tell him about the outside. Not yet at least.
"King Cassius approved it." Delroy shrugs before sipping on his drink.
The core of my stomach drops out of my body, "you spoke to the King without me?"
"You're not exactly here all the time. You're always with Sachi or your family. Why am I never invited?" He turns the tables on me.
"Delroy," I speak softly, "I'm sorry if I've been errorist lately. But you going behind my back to speak to the King of something so important is abhorrent."
I'm almost too stunned to speak. How could he do this?
His eyes soften, "I didn't know creating a family would disgust you as such." His head hangs slightly more than natural, making my heart ache at the disappointment he feels.
"No, no I...I want a family, I think. I'm just afraid." I try to backtrack to make him feel at least a tad better.
"I would never hurt you. As soon as you were to reject, I'd respect your wishes."
I nod, knowing he would do exactly as he says. I've never once not trusted him unless it came to the outside.
Having sex is something I've grown to become okay with, I do love Delroy. The thought of baring his children doesn't make me as happy as I wish it would though.
Having children in his Kingdom isn't what I want anymore. I want multiple children and I want them to be able to explore the outside world.
Delroy's hand reaches across the table, sitting on top of mine as he rubs soothing circles into my skin.
"Okay," I mutter under my breath, "we can try."
One of the happiest smiles I've ever seen stretches on his lips as he brings his fist up in victory, "thank you!"
"Later tonight then?" He asks as he ties his shoes, the last step before leaving for work.
I nod, "alright," I give him a tight lip smile.
As soon as he leave, the day goes on as usual. I go to work, entertain a few kids and get bullied by one baby who just cries every time I hold him. He doesn't like me much for some reason.
