"Come on Prim!" One of the children, a young boy, pulled the girl forward. Sweat rolling down his forehead. Body screaming to stop, aching for relief.
"I-I can't do it, Joey! I-I-it hurts so-so bad!" Prim cried out. In the darkness, as Joey looked back for a second, he could see blood soaking her rags. Dripping to the floor. Glinting in the dim light of the moon.
"You can do it! Come on! Just a little further! I promise!"
---------
"I love you, so much. I can't even describe the words that explain how much love I hold for you." Joey whispered against Prim's lips.
"I love you, too. My little ginger mouse." Prim giggled softly as Joey scowled at the nickname.
----------
"He's beautiful." Prim sighed tiredly. Joey smiled proud as he laid the small babe in his mothers arms. "Just like you." Joey laughed at his wife's comment.
"That's my line, my darling."
"Whatever you say." Prim chuckled herself. Stroking the small tuft of brown hair on her child's head. Her eyes full of love as she gazed down at her son. "We'll always protect you, little mouse. Forever and always."
----------
