Broken Blade (Discontinued)

Shade

Soooooooo... you convinced me (for now) I am gonna try very very hard to finish this but i will worn it might be a bit choppy😬 I apologize! Anyway, I've wanted to write about this since I thought of the idea so I thought it would be a good idea to start of here. I apologize it is short and may not be exactly like the characters but oh well!! I hope you enjoy and thank you to everyone for supporting me and this story!!!! Stay safe!!!!

The lights had finally stopped flashing and sparking which means she is either dead or she wore herself out and fell asleep. Knowing how stubborn Mare is she wouldn't allow death close enough to touch her at a time like this. I hurry of the Cal's room.
"Is everything okay down in this wing?" I ask already knowing the answer but just want to double check.
"Yeah minus a few lightbulbs everything is fine."
"Good. Go look for Mare and make sure she's ok and bring her back."
"Will do."
And just like that we parted separate ways. I'm still not sure about Cal but Mare trusts him so I have to as well. I just hope I her judgement is correct.
Farley. I better go check on her and make sure she wasn't in mare's cross fire.
I knock on her door and am relieved to hear her voice. I know she wasn't hurt but the prison incident shook a lot of people and showed us how easy it is to lose people. I walk in to find her sitting on her bed in deep thought.
"Are you ok? I heard your fight with Mare."
"Oh I'm fine. It takes more than a little tiff with her to knock me down." She sounded almost amused.
"I know"
"Actually while you're here can we speak in private for a moment." She was very hesitant.
"Sure, are you sure you're ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine, it's just... it got me thinking... I think you should know something. It is really bad timing and promise you won't freak out or try to overprotect me." I have never been more confused. She was so fidgety, I have never seen her like this.
"Ok,"
"Um... I... I'm pregnant." She sat up as straight as possible and her eyes were shut. As if she was delivering news to her higher in command. I wasn't quit sure I heard her right.
"You're pregnant?"
"Yeah" I had so many emotions ranging from fear to overjoyed to excitement to worry all I could do was gape at her. Then I wrapped her in my arms and gave her hug like I would never hug her again. I was gonna be a dad.
"That's amazing! How do you know though?"
"I just know"
I grabbed her hands and kissed her knuckles.
"But this doesn't mean I am stepping down or letting any of my duties go." There's that stern captain voice.
"Oh I know, was never gonna try and stop yeah."
There was all the more reason to live, there was all the more reason to win this battle. They had to win. I want it to be over so i can be a father and we could be a happy family. But it wasn't that easy. We needed to win because I don't want to raise a young child in this awful world ruled by monsters. But I would win, we would win there's no other way.
We both sat on the bed for a bit fingers interlocked, both deep in thought. There was so much to process and plan.
"Let's keep the news on the down low for now."
"Agreed."
A baby. My baby.
