Danger and Tattoos

Thoughts

                 River's POV::

    I stand up from the bed and walk to the kitchen. Placing my hand on my stomach, I think about all the things that have been swarming my head all day. My child could be in the same position as that little girl one day. Does she even have a mother?
     "Why aren't you asleep?" A deep voice days from behind me. I turn around and lock eyes with Vito. 
    "Thinking too much," I say. He walks the rest of the way over. I want so badly to burry my face in his tattooed chest and relax.
    "That's not good," he says, running his hands down my arms.
    "Why aren't you asleep?"
    "Just got off the phone with Xander," he says. I roll my eyes. "I thought you understood that this is just what I do?"
     "I get that, but I'm just taking this certain situation to heart. If I wasn't pregnant, I wouldn't probably care. But this has me thinking." He crosses his arms.
    "Well stop."
   "I wish it was that easy."

             Vito's POV::

    I wake to the sound of talking in the living room. Pulling myself out of the bed, I walk to the living area. River sits on the couch with Rosemary in front of her as she brushes her hair. That could be her and our possible daughter in a few years.
   "Morning," I say, walking to the couch. They both look up at me. I would usually kiss her, but I can tell by her expression she doesn't want that. Sitting down, she looks away from me. "So I have a friend who had kids, and him and his wife really want you to go and live with them."
    The little girl looks at River as if for confirmation. "Their very nice people and you'll have fun their their son," she tells her with a smile.
    "Can I use the bathroom?" We both nod and she walks off.  River stands and trues walking away. I grab her wrist, pulling her to my lap.
    "You have to talk eventually, River," I say.
    "I tried, and you hardly listen to me," she says. Knowing it's true, my jaw clenches. "I get that this your life, you can't change that, but that doesn't mean I like it. Its a part of who you are, but I'd change it in a heart beat."
   My eyes search her's. "I would to, and the truth. I don't like the fear if dying or loosing you." She rests her forehead against mine.
    "You'll never loose me."
