Survive (Discontinued)

Chapter 34: Stestial's P.O.V

I sat there and listened to the voices. I missed her, I had begun to forget she existed. It had been so long. In the beginning I had, had nightmares and Mikal had to help me through it. I had almost reached the point of self destructive thoughts. That's when he popped the question for marriage. At first I was terrified but then I realized, we had already done everything you should do when your married. I was willing to give myself away to a stranger, he had to be the one for me.

"Hey, you okay?"

"Accepting the fact that my children will be born in a dark place and they might die, not to mention, I might also die... it's hard to accept. Also knowing that you won't be able to do anything to save me and that I have to hope Shadow can save me, it's hard. I'm processing but I'll be fine."

"I hope so, a depressed Stestial is a bad Stestial. I want my Stestial to return. The one who knows no boundaries."

"Yeah. Yeah. I'll be fine, now, I'm hungry."

"Give me five minutes and you'll have a full course meal."

"How is that even possible?"

"A good magician never reveals his secrets."

"Right." I said sarcastically. Mikal walked off and sure enough five minutes later I walked into the kitchen to find Chicken Alfredo, Beef Stroganoff, and Potatoe Soup, with a side salad."

"How is this even possible?"

"Previously I had to cook for someone else but they didn't want it so I decided I would keep it and this happened."

"How long have you had it?"

"Only since yesterday."

"When did you have time to make that?"

"When you were sleeping."

"Oh..." my voice trailed off as I thought about how much he must have tried to stay quiet for my sake.

"Hey, no worries, I bet you're really hungry and this is the only time I will allow you to eat more than what a normal you should eat."

"So, I could eat less than what a normal me would eat?"

"No, you can only eat the amount you usually eat. Only a few bites difference."

"Okay then, let's eat." I then preceded to pile my plate to about three inches deep and the plate was technically suppose to be a dinner platter but you know what, I don't care.

"Well, those children must be carnivores."

"What makes you say that?"

"You skimmed the noodles and tried to get mainly beef and chicken while getting a small amount of potatoes but getting most of the bacon bits. Also, you got no salad."

"Oh right, sucks for you. Here's your noodles." I said playfully and handed him the bowl of noodles.

"Gee, thanks." He said sarcastically and took the bowl.

"You're welcome." I replied, just as sarcastic.

"So, what are we going to name them?"

"Um... well, we know one of them is a girl and the other is a boy. The third is unknown at the present moment but still. I say you chose the first and I'll chose the second while we work on the third's together."

"That sounds fine, hey, second was a boy right?"

"Yes."

"I think I should name the son and you name the daughter."

"Why shouldn't I name the son?!"

"Because the father usually names his son."

"Well I'm not usual so too bad!"

"Alright. Alright." He raised his hands in a defensive gesture. Haha! I win as usual. Then he muttered, "Hormonal numbskull." I chose to let that one slide because he was letting me name my son.

"I say we name him Rye."

"That actually isn't half bad. I was thinking Regan for our daughter."

"I like that, Regan and Rye. Now, for the third, it needs to be gender neutral."

"I agree, this time it should start with a M."

"Sounds good. What about Mar?"

"No. Add to that though."

"Okay, how about Marlow?"

"Perfect." Mikal said and gave me a hug but I pushed him away. "Wha-" but I cut him off.

"I'm hungry and I'm eating for four. Plus, you tried to hug me, you risks injuring my children."

"You mean our children." He said with a smile.

"Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. I don't know, that's besides the point though. You aren't carrying them. You aren't eating for them. You haven't done anything but create them. So, they are my children and that is that." I said determinedly and he simply stared at me.

"So... are they my children?" He asked hesitantly.

"YOU'VE SERIOUSLY GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" I shouted at him.

"Hey, calm down. I was joking about that. I know they are my children and I know they our our's. They are your's as well. You carry them and you basically have to devote yourself to them. I know you are struggling and that everything is so chaotic right now. You'll be fine and I have a feeling when you get taken, because it will happen. I may not be able to save you but I know Shadow will bring Heaven and Hell to Earth if it means to save you. She would use the Devil to terrify them and have God to condemn them to Hell. I know Shadow, if anything, I'm not worried for you as much as I am worrying for what will happen to them. Shadow was raised in the house of a Shadowar-Skullian half blood. Don't forget the Samariten and you can't ever forget Kooliparie. If Shadow's in danger, he'll save her. In all honesty, you have a one women army bringing everything she has for your defense." He said it all as if he had already experienced it.

"Thank you. By the way, you know Kooliparie is a girl right?" I said and my eyes began to brim with tears.

"For what? Also, Kooliparie is a guy."

"For reminding me of what I have here. Trust me, Kooliparie is a girl."

"No problem. You are my wife and I would gladly die for you any day or night. I love you. This time though, I'm not loosing, Kooliparie is a dude." He didn't let me reply because he started to shove my plate in front of me.

"Ugh... I love you." I said and sat down to eat.

"I am a girl, I will have you know!" The sharp voice of Kooliparie tang throughout the room. I watched as Mikal shuttered.

"Thanks Kooliparie even though you tried to kill us!" I yelled.

"You're welcome, now that I know where you stand with Shadow, I will not harm you, in fact, I will defend your children as if they were my own. I do have a son but you don't need to worry he won't hurt you." With that, her presence disappeared. Mikal and I are our dinner and then headed to bed.
