"Yo Y/n!" That same smooth yet slightly robotic voice chirped her name, catching her attention from where she was stood. She turned her head towards Cayde, who was approaching her, "Oh..goodmorning Cayde." She nodded and smiled warmly at the exo, turning her body towards him.

"I uh..you seem to like the view from up here, right? You've been stood here almost all morning and I was wondering if you'd like to take a bit of a ride in my ship with me?" He nudged her gently with his arms open, awaiting an answer from the nervous female, "What about Zavala? Didn't he say that you can't leave the Tower? And why did you choose me to come with you?" He shook his finger in her face and smiled smugly, "You ask too many questions. Zavala's letting me go on test flight for a while to see if I've still got it in me which of course I do! Heh..also, I chose you because mostly every guardian today is busy with their own thing and of course I want some company. I don't wanna be alone in orbit, it does get lonely."

Y/n pouted slightly as similar memory came flooding back with a instant.

~Flashback~

"Pleeeeeeaaaaase sweetie!"

"Hehe no, I can't."

"Pleeeaaaasse! Honey, it gets so lonely up there sometimes and I wanna show you so many beautiful things!"

Y/n giggled and pulled herself away from the kitchen sink, giving her attention now to Marcel who was on his knees, practically begging his pregnant wife to come up into orbit with him for a get away.

"And! Our two bundles of joy will be with us too!" He happily stroked her pregnant stomach and nuzzled it with his forehead gently, hugging around Y/n's waist as he stayed there, feeling the twins move about in her womb.

Y/n placed both hands on her lower back and looked down at Marcel, smiling widely at his actions.

She was eight months pregnant with twins and the journey had been such a struggle. Marcel took time away from battle to nurse his wife as she suffered with the symptoms of pregnancy. But feeling the twins move about inside of her was such a wonderful feeling.

Marcel giggled to himself, his eyes shut as he cuddled her bump, feeling them both move against his cheek.

Y/n let out a long sigh and giggled softly, "Okay fine, but just ten minutes okay?"

Marcel jumped up from the floor and cheered, carefully pulling Y/n into a loving hug as he kissed her cheek gently, "I love you, Y/n." She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, "I love you too, Marcel."

~End Of Flashback~

Y/n lowered her head as a frown made it's way onto her face. She remembered that moment as if it was yesterday. But Y/n was quite the strong woman. She shook her head and looked up at Cayde, "Alright. Let's go." Cayde cheered like a child and started making his way down to where the ships were docked, gesturing Y/n to follow him as she did so.

"Juuuuust relax and strap yourself in, we'll be up there in just a few minutes." Y/n swallowed hard and pulled on the seat belt, gripping hard onto the fabric of her pants as the ship suddenly blasted into orbit. She shut her eyes tightly and held her breath, silently begging for it to be over soon.

Y/n had not done something like this in awhile. She was terrified, although she did trust Cayde. After all, he IS the Hunter Vanguard.

After a while, the movement haulted and she could feel herself gently floating through space. Cayde laughed softly, "Okay now, you can open your eyes."

She did so and gasped straight away, her gaze shooting down to earth. The round rock was completely still, in fact, everywhere she looked was completely still. She gasped in awe and looked about to the stars. It had been so many years since she had been up in space, it was so beautiful. Cayde smirked and sat back in his seat with his arms folded, "Its quite the sight, ain't it?"

Y/n turned to Cayde with a smile, "I remember doing this with my husband years ago. I was eight months pregnant at the time and he was practically begging me to come up into orbit with him. It took him some time to persuade me but it worked and I finally gave in. I miss those days. Right now, I'm losing everything. I've lost my two beautiful children and now my husband might not survive his coma.." Y/n sniffed and rubbed her eyes, her breath hitching in the back of her throat.

Cayde tilted his head to the side and gently placed a soft hand on her shoulder, trying his best to comfort her, "Y/n. I know that you want a straightforward answer on whether or not he'll survive his hell. But you just have to stay positive, do it for him. I know that's not what you want to hear but nobody knows for sure on what's gonna happen to Marcel."

Y/n lowered her head and nodded, wiping away the remaining tears, "You're a strong woman. You gave birth to two human life forms. Two! At the same time! Hell, I wouldn't even be able to do that!" She smiled softly and let out the slightest giggle.

"You know what Cayde? You're right.." he patted her shoulder softly and leaned back again, "Cayde..we should talk more, I would appreciate more than one friendly face in the Tower, I don't know how long I'll be there for."

Cayde frowned and looked out into the Still atmosphere. If push comes to shove, Y/n would have two difficult choices. One, would be choosing a class and training to fight all the evil out there, or two, leaving the Tower and going on her own path. But Cayde couldn't let that happen, Y/n was too precious and sweet to turn to war or anything like that. But if she doesn't choose, then someone would have to choose for her.
