Hater: [was in bed, sleeping with the pups in bed with him, curled up against his middle covered in their swaddles] |-)
Wander: (peeks in) :)
[the pups slowly stirred, squeaking for their first meal]
Hater: [also stirred] Nnnhh...? Huh...?
Wander: (places on the suction cups and comes over) They must be hungry. Here, let me take them.
Hater: Wha...? Nnhh... Shouldn't I be doing that...? [gets up to make room for Wander to take the pups]
Wander: You can't produce milk, cause you're only half girl. But Mama helped out with the solution. (takes the pups and carefully helps them to each tube)
Hater: Reli? I thought... [had a flashback of seeing his mom nursing Grimm, on her chest was a pair of energy orbs that Grimm suckled out from, then felt his own chest] Oh right, now I remember
Wander: And my species is intersex, so...we have the, you know... (watching the pups feed)
Hater: [watches as the pups nurse from him] Wow, that actually quite fascinating [looked at the device] N it's pretty convenient for a litter feeding too
Wander: (nod)
Hater: [looked a little sad] Sorry I couldn't nurse them. I was hoping I could do it, since... U knw, I gave birth to them...
Wander: It's okay. I'll be helping with that part.
Hater: [covered his face] Agh, I feel so stupid... I'm just being attached to the babies, I guess
Wander: (pets his shoulder in comfort)
Hater: [blushed] So... Uh... I've done my job... Wat now...?
Wander: (looks at him) Well... you don' want to head back to that slavery thing, do you...? (takes Hater's hand in his)
Hater: No, but... well, unless ur planning on impregnating me again, I doubt I could stay long with u. They're gonna get suspicious, n they prolly hv ur information n hv a rough idea how long I'm supposed to be pregnant n stay with u. U nvr knw there might also be ppl watching us n keeping tabs on us. They're evil, bt they're smart n shrewd, n hv common sense... [was starting to babble]
Wander: (presses finger to Hater's lips) Hush now. I won't let anyone take you away, or make you go back to that slavery life. Besides... what do you think they'd be able to do if I did this? (digs into his pocket and pulled out the ring Wildflower gave him, presenting it to Hater)
Hater: :O [gasped at the sight of the ring] U... U mean...!!
Wander: (flushes) Well, only if you want, but I mean...it's fine if you say no, but I was hoping that... :) I'd have you as the wife by my side and the mother of my children... will you marry me, Hater?
Hater: [was speechless n quivering as he looked frm Wander to the ring n back again, then tears started to pour out of his eyes] ;(
Wander: :( Hatey...? (concerned he asked this too soon)
Hater: [gripped at the sheets, looking dwn as he shook n sobbed] W... Why...? I don't get it... Why me...? Wat is it abt me tht u love so much...? I don't... I don't get it...
Wander: ...You're special to me, Hater. Don't matter how you were born, it matters to me that you're not like anyone else I've met. I wopuldn't be happy with anyone else other then you...
Hater: But I'm worthless... I'm dirty... I'm a freak of nature... I'm not... I'm not... ;(
Wander: (places hand on this cheek) And this should matter to me because...?
Hater: Bcoz... Bcoz ur a Conqueror, ur a Lord. I'm... I'm a nobody... The son of a Lord tht doesn't want me... A dirty whore who's not worth anyone's time... [covered his face] Fuck, why can't u be like the other Masters... Why do u hv to make me feel so bad for u...? Why do u hv to make me love u...? ;(
Wander: :( ...It doesn't matter to me, Hater. It don't matter if you're some freak of nature. It don't matter if you were forced to sleep with other people. It don't. Matter. To me. Okay? I want to be there for you, love you like no one else will... (shows him the ring again)
Hater: [whimpered a little wen he sees the ring again, then almost pounced onto Wander as he hugged him tight, kissing him deeply in his tears]
Wander: >< Oof. (hugged and kissed him back) :) I'll take it it's a yes then?
Hater: [nodded in his pools of tears, a little speechless right now as he was overwhelmed with joy]
Wander: (smiles happily, kissing him again till he heard the squeaks of the litter)
Hater: [hears it too n pulls away] I think they're complaining abt being crushed ^^;;
Wander: Oh, right. Sorry, sweeties. ^^;;
Hater: U didn't hv to go thru all tht for the ring. It must've been expensive [looks at the ring he was holding]
Wander: Actually... it's Mama's ring.
Hater: Wat? Oh, she didn't have to do that either... It looks so nice n ancient, must be some priceless heirloom ring
Wander: She insisted on it, the least she can do...
Hater: I see... That's reli thoughtful of her... [a doubtful look still crossed his face]
Wander: (pets his cheek) :)
Hater: [looked up at him] Wat if I'm not allowed to marry u? I'm a slave, n there has to be rules on tht. Don't u think it's a bit risky...?
Wander: I'm not letting you go back with them, you hear me? Do you? That's the last thing I want to have happen with you.
Hater: I know, n I don't want to go bk either. But I'm just worried they won't allow us to marry coz of my status, n u wanting to marry me might just alert the trade abt it. Maybe... [sighed n lowered his head] Maybe we could postpone it until there is a way to free me...
Wander: (thinks about it) ... Supposed we'll have to... (is worried though that Wildflower might not live long anough to see them get married)
Hater: I'm sorry, Wander... Did I just ruin the moment...? :(
Wander: No, no... just concerned about Mama... but we will find a way to free you.
Hater: (nod) I... [blushed hard] ...I love u... Since the day u rescued me from those thugs on Planet Cursia wen they tried to rape me... I loved u since then...
Wander: :) And I love you too... sijnce that day I first laid eyes on you...
Hater: >///< Gaahhh~~ So embarrassing! I take it bk! I hate u! [covered his blushing face]
Wander: (giggle)
Hater: [pouted at him, then sees the pups pulling away from the nipple tubes] Oh, I think they're full now
Wander: :) Yup, they've had their fill.
Hater: [takes some of the pups n carried them over his shoulder to burp them] I think that's how ur mom taught me...
Wander: (nod) (takes the other half of the pups to do the same)
Hater: [patted them until they let out a loud burp each] There we go, sweeties [put them dwn inside the baby basket n tucked them in]
Wander: (does the same) :)
Hater: [nuzzled Wander n sighed] Wat hv I ever done to deserve u... =3=
Wander: I could ask myself the same thing. ^^;;
Hater: Heh, guess we'll both find out sooner or later, or maybe once we're old n grey
Wander: Heh, perhaps.
Hater: (yawn) Gob, I'm still so tired...
Wander: You should lie down for a bit then. You've been through quite a lot, with the birth and such.
Hater: [nodded n yawned again, sighing tiredly] Yeah... I guess so... (tired)
Wander: (smiles, humming softly and petting Hater's cheek)
Hater: [lay bk in bed, then slowly succumbed to sleep] |-)
Wander: (smiles watching him, then turned his attention to the litter)
*knock knock knock*
Wildflower: Yoohoo, can I come in?
Wander: (looks up) Yes, Mama?
Wildflower: [peeks in n held up a big bag] I found all the knitted clothes for the babies~ ;)
Wander: :) Thanks, Mama.
Wildflower: [puts it nxt to the bed] How's Hatey doing? Is he doing OK?
Wander: He's just really tired, that's all. And...if it's okay with you, we have to postpone being married...
Wildflower: Why? Something wrong? [gasped] Did he say 'No'? :O
Wander: No, no, he said yes, it's just... we have to find a way to free him from slavery first.
Wildflower: Oh, I see. Doesn't marrying u absolve him of his slave status?
Wander: We don't know that for sure...
Wildflower: U could always ask Sylvia to find out for u. I mean, it'll be too risky for u to find out urself, since Hatey's ur slave, so maybe a recon frm her would be better
Wander: I suppose so yeah... :( But just concerned if you'll be able to be around for the wedding...
Wildflower: [blinked, then chuckled sadly] I hope to be able to see u at the altar with Hatey, bt no promises
Wander: (sighs) I guess so. (embraced by Wildflower)
Wildflower: We'll cross that bridge when we get there. No need to worry abt tht, focus on the present [hugged him tight as she stroke his head]
Wander: (hugs her back)
Wildflower: [hugged a while, then goes to see the pups sleeping cozily in the baby basket, Hater's arm possessively ard the basket as he slept] :) [sat next to Hater as she stroke his head] The poor dear, I totally understand wat he went thru, the birth n all. He's lucky to hv u by his side during the birth
Wander: :) He is.
Wildflower: He needs a malt drink to boost his strengths up. Tell me wen he wakes up so I can make it warm for him, n remember to dress the babies up in their new clothes. Oh, n also... [went to the door for a moment to take something, then brought it inside to Wander] New robes for him. Papa noticed he's only been wearing the same robes everyday, so he went to town to get him a variety of robes n other clothes for him to wear. Wen was the last time u evr shopped for clothes for tht poor boy?
Wander: (sees the robes) I'm sure he'll like them... :)
Wildflower: U didn't answer my question tho, Wandy? Why didn't u get new clothes for Hatey? It looks like he's been wearing that same robes ever since u got him -__-**
Wander: ^^;; We might've been distracted with all that other stuff that's happened.
Wildflower: N u wanted to marry tht poor boy. Hmph! Clearly u need to learn more abt providing for ur future wife [flicked at Wander's forehead]
Wander: >< Ow. I get it, I get it.
Wildflower: How's the pills working out for u?
Wander: Well, they're a lot of help feeding the litter.
Wildflower: I'm glad. I was worried it wouldn't, since it's been years since I last had it. I wasn't producing enough milk coz I was underweight after giving birth to u n ur sibs, so ur grandma got those pills for me to help me along
Wander: Mhm. (looks back at the litter)
Wildflower: Ur pups r so adorable, Wandy. U both did a great job
Wander: (nod) Yeah... ;(
Wildflower: [sees him crying] Aww... Wandy... [hugs him]
Wander: (hugs her) Can't help it... Just so...
Wildflower: Just so wat? U can tell Mama, don't be shy
Wander: Happy about...this whole thing, but also...a little afraid... ;(
Wildflower: [blinked] Why would u be afraid of?
Wander: ...the condition you have right now being passed on to one of our pups...
Wildflower: Oh, tht. Well, u will just hv to keep an eye on their health frm time to time, eh? Who knows? U might be lucky n they won't get it
Wander: (sighs) Hope so...
Wildflower: Besides, it only manifests wen ur an adult, n by then, I'm sure the technology in medicine would've advanced enough to heal ur pups, or maybe even completely eliminate that genetic defect, so don't lose hope
Wander: (nod)
Wildflower: Right, I won't bother u or Hatey too much now. U both need the rest. Just let me know if Hatey is awake n I'll get him tht malt drink
Wander: (nod) Okay, Mama.
Wildflower: [kissed Wander's forehead n got up to leave the room]
Wander: (yawn) (lies next to Hater and the pups, falling into slumber)
