Swiftcurrent Creek i got a bulletproof heart, you got a hollow-point smile

It was difficult to find the restraint to stay away from Alessia, but the constant pain of knowing and seeing what had transpired between Alessia and someone else was an easy deterrent. Their relationship was hard for Rosalie to digest, and something she vehemently tried to avoid at all costs. Which was extremely difficult considering the impending birth of their children.

The confusion of wanting to see Alessia equally matched by her desire to avoid Alessia drove Lie insane. But at the end of the day all she hoped for was the chance to curl around the woman and hold her tightly into her chest. Where she could protect her and kiss away the nightmares. Where they both could be weak, and vulnerable.

As the sun crept along the blue abyss, Rosalie found herself wandering the land that she supposed should be home. Of course, it would take time — a long time — before she felt that way. But the first step was to explore and memorize, so at least she was trying. If only minutely.

The cracking of a branch behind her, and the intoxicating scent of her lover wafting toward Lie was the only indication that she was no longer meandering a lone. Turning slowly, Rosalie offered Alessia a dazzling, beautiful smile reserved only for her. “Hey.” She stated simply.

The shadowy woman approached, and Lie leaned into her touch, her smile still showing. There was still a novelty of the familiarity to her embrace, it seemed so common place yet it still drew Lie’s breath away. The smile fell from lips slowly, as Alessia continued to speak.

This was not the conversation she was expecting. She honestly hadn’t thought about the future, to absorbed in the present with Alessia. “I always wanted a family with you Alessia.” It was a simple fact that Lie felt needed to be stated. “I knew what that meant. About finding a male to help us. I just never pictured them staying around. I never thought that it would be anything but me and you, use against the world.” Her smile was a little less bright, and little more sad this time around.

“I told you that I wasn’t going anywhere, and I’m not. Because my whole life is you Alessia. My whole existence, my entire heart belongs to you.” Leaning against the woman Lie continued, “And any child that comes from you, my love, already has a piece of my heart. They aren’t just Kavik’s children, they are yours too, and that makes them important to me. Because you are important to me.” She couldn’t believe the sappy speech that had tumbled forth, she could only hope that Alessia would still accept her. Bubbling emotions and all.

She was always amazed by the feelings that Alessia brought to her. With simple words she was able to cleanse any sadness from her thoughts, she was able to wash away the pain, and brighten her dark thoughts. Lie’s sighed heavily, relief pricklying her skin. “I’d commit murder for you, there is nothing in the world that I wouldn’t do for you Alessia. Helping you raise a few kiddies is nothing.” The courage of a soon-to-be-first-time-mother shone strong through her voice, a smile pulling at her lips.

The shiver of excitement rang along her spin, there were going to be parents! A moment of optimism sprang forth, flooding her system. She could only ever feel this way around the shadowy girl, and a distinctly uncool giggle broke her lips. Her tail swaying, in a lazy swing.
