In the Dark *dark and desire*

We ended up at his command center and finally let go I could tell he was kind of pissed but at the same time very tired "do I even want to know by whom you are marked and honestly are you that eager to take my place?" He asked calmly as if he had rehearsed it many times in his head. "Honestly no I don't want the position at least not yet but if it meant taking a lot of the stress off you then I will I see how tired you are deep down inside and eventually gana run yourself into the ground if not already started to I know we haven't talked much since mom passed let alone having much of a relationship but if you are ready to step down I will take your place but only when you are ready." I said seriously as he sighs "someday soon it will come I will let you know and do the best I can to advise you as well as protect you it will end up taking you off of the side lines and put u in the front lines when a battle comes but I know you will rule well and have chosen someone that will do good by you and yours i .... I'm proud of you my son for whom the man u have become. Your dismissed." I nodded and rest my hand on his shoulder before leaving knowing it took a lot out of him just to say what he said.

I took everything home and started to put it all away quietly. Everything was done before he made it home.

I sighed softly when I walked into the door thinking on what had been said.

I was making lunch quietly when I heard the door. "Love are you OK?"

"Yea just surprised to be honest" I said as I walked in and sat down "he finally let his gaurd down after so many years and he looked so tired.

"I told you he would," I said.

I nodded and sighed"almost makes me want to take over for him just so he can rest easier.

"Yeah, maybe you can take some of his work to lessen the load, until you become leader and then I will do the same for you," I said as I stood by the stove watching the food.

I stood and walked over to you. "But we also will have to train new assassins to take our places certainly not our children

"Yeah, after I have them that's what I planned to do," I said.

I wrapped my arms softly around you "when we are ready yes." I said softly resting my head against your chin

I smiled at him. "My body is all that holds me back from begging you. I need to give it a good opportunity to heal."

"I agree I don't want to push you too far too fast my love specially since I don't want to hurt you.

"Hopefuy they can hold her in so she never does that again, I'll be very vulnerable to her attacking me," I said softly as I went back to finish the meal.

"If need be I will kill her even if it was in cold blood." I said seriously as I leaned against the counter "not like I haven't done it before."

"Its just a fear love, besides when its time for that I'm going to be kept under restrictions and protected. And with the wounds I have I would feel better having someone to watch me if I begin to have issues while you're out," I said as I turned everything off.

I nodded and sighed softly "the only good thing is that she's a simple grunt but one of the best she still doesn't have the skills you or I do fighting though

"But I am slowed down by my wounds, state of mind, and the baby. If I feel depressed I'm not motivated to fight back," I replied as I started making plates.

I nodded softly and sighed "we will have to work on that baby."

"Love I'm fine, I had a bad moment after finding you, but I'm fine now. The baby might give me a mood swing where nothing makes me feel better, but I can just hide in the house during that time. I prefer that anyhow," I said as I made drinks as well.

I grabbed a plate and drink and put both on the table.

I did the same and sat down. "This is something I created," I said.

I smiled "smells good." I said as I started to eat

"Thank you," I said and began to eat.

"This is very good baby" I said smiling.
