Ashes (Clementine X Male Reader Book 2)

Vagabonds-Sisters

"You're more forward than you used to be," Clementine tells you as you're getting dressed. "Kind of like it."

"I got used to being around people." You say. "We're good, right?... You're not going to get pregnant again."

"I don't think so." Clementine stands up. "I think I'd have to get rid of it anyway. It'd probably kill me."

"Can you do that?"

"Emma said she could."

You nod. "Good. I don't think another would be worth your life."

"Me either," Clementine says. She walks over to you and grabs your arm. "I think we need to get going. Before anyone comes looking for us."

"Yeah."

Clementine pulls you into a kiss. You missed her. "I love you." She says when she pulls away. "And whenever we get a chance, we need to actually talk. We didn't really have much time last night."

"No, we didn't. Wonder why."

"It's your fault."

"Takes two."

"Shut up." She playfully jabs your arm. "Let's go." You follow her outside. "I'm going to go check on Diana. You can come if you want." She tells you.

"Actually, would you come by where I was supposed to stay last night?" You ask.

"Um... Sure. After I get Diana. Why?"

"I would like it if you would meet Marina." You tell her.

"Oh... Uh. Sure." Clementine looks nervous.

"She's six. You don't need to worry."

"Yeah, but... She's your daughter. I kind of need to impress her." Clementine shifts her footing. "And if you decide to stick around, we may end up living together. She would live with us."

"She's sweet. She'll like you. I mean, I think she'll like anyone that isn't trying to take her and kill me at this point." You tell her.

"She doesn't deserve that stress... I guess I can be thankful you're not a psycho rapist that would terrorize Diana."

"That was a perfect description of William."

"Hope I never meet him." She says. "I'll go get Diana, so I'll be over there soon."

"Alright. See ya."

Clementine starts to walk away. You watch her. "You're staring." She calls back to you.

You laugh and start looking around. Almost everyone is out and doing things. Mostly just talking. Brooklyn is with Cas and Emma, but you don't see Marina anywhere. She must still be asleep.

You enter the building and see Marina asleep on the couch where you left her yesterday. You think about letting her stay that way, but she has likely overslept already, and Clementine is coming over to meet her.

You crouch down next to the couch and gently touch her arm. "Marina." You whisper. "It's time to get up." She slowly starts to open her eyes, and when she finally wakes up, she jumps. "It's alright."

Marina stretches and rubs her eyes. "Is it morning?"

"Yes."

"Can I sleep longer?" She closes her eyes again.

"Nope." You gently pull her off the couch until she's standing. "You shouldn't oversleep."

"I want to." She's rubbing her eyes again.

"Me too." You tell her. You didn't sleep much, so even a little sleep would be nice. "But we can't."

"Dad... I had a dream again."
