Dark Depths

Decreasing

"Look, trust me, this is going to be worth it."He says.

"I'm still worried..."You admit.

"We are rasing this kid in a Sith enviorment."You finally say what you've been trying to.

Reaper laughs and pulls you close.

"Don't worry, he'll be able to handle it."Reaper says.

"No. I don't want to raise him here..."You say breaking the news.

"What? You'd rather raise him human?"Reaper says.

"Well, not human, but in a less...tense environment..."You try to explain.

"Are you fucking kidding me?"Reaper says feeling berated.

"Rea. Please you know how i've flet about this since day one. Raising our child around Sith Lords and Emperors after hearing that stuff about him becoming on of the most powerful leaders of the Dark Side..."You expalain.

"Look, as I said, we're not really going to let him come to any real danger right?"Reaper says.

"You can't be sure of that."You reply.

"You are telling me you want to deny our son the chance to see my side of things. I am the Sith Lord you fear to raise our son around. I am the Dark Side. It is my life it was my life before you. You are telling me that I can't let my son MY SON know what it was like to be me."Reaper yelled.

"Reaper, you can't seriously be thinking of letting him come to the Sith world when he's older!"You exclaim.

"If he wants to! Damn I'll make him his very own coak! I just don't want you to force that light side of The Force stuff onto him. The supressing of your emotions and other things! For example me and you would never happen! The Sith haven't harmed a hair on your head since you've been here. If you had brought me to that Jedi temple it would have been a kill on sight order!"He explained.

"And now?"You ask.

"And now? I could care less. Just don't try to force me out my rightful place as a father. I am his father!"He yells.

"I never said you weren't! I just said the enviorment is hostal!"You yell.

"So? make it hospitable! As I said, my son will learn all the pain he deserves in a Sith world."He says.

"PAIN!?"You yell.

"Yes, pain. But there is joy to be had in the things pain engenders. The hard earned respect of allies, the bitter taste of victory, the sweet taste of freedom. All things worth the trouble."Reaper debated with a fire in his eyes.

"Our son will not deal with unessary pain."You say staring Reaper down.

"And neither will you."Reaper says.

After another moment of silence, Reaper let's go of your hand and steps back. He gives a small salute to you.

"I'm just saying. You and our boy are fine here."He said touching your stomach.

"Rea. I love you. You are the most amazing man I've met. But I can't let our son be here and then grow here and become corrupt."You say tearing away from him.

"I thought you said he'd be fine."Reapr says.

"I know. I'm just...fragile right now."You reply.

He put a hand on your shoulder and kissed your cheek.

"I'm sorry."He said hugging you.

You hug him back as tears fall down your face.

"Sssh...we'll get through this. We have each others backs like we always do right?"He says.

"Right."You reply, still emotional.

You recklen in his arms laying on his chest as you sway looking out into space.

"You should defiantly come to the Dark Side. Not just for me, but for you. To learn the things you don't know about yourself."He says kissing the top of your head.

"I love you."You say holding his hands over your baby bump.

"And I you."He replies.

The two of you embrace and after a moment, the two of you part ways.

You lay down in bed with Reaper. You peck him on his chest before you lay down on it.

"Everything will be alright."He says cuddling you.

"Things could be better of course."You reply.

"They will."He said kissing your forehead.
