Naida wasn't normally one to cry, but she was tearing up. "Oh Proteus...It's both the saddest and the most beautiful thing you've ever told me."

"Uh oh," he gently wiped at her tears. "We're getting the mood swings already."

"I don't know...I don't even know them yet and I don't ever want to let them go. And that's saying something because I'm not all that mothery and nurturing. And I'm gonna be a mom...." She buried her head in his chest and started crying harder.

"You're going to be a great one," he said stroking her hair. "And these kids are going to be great too."

"I know... but what if I'm not...What if they hate me? I couldn't take that."

"But you don't know that," She said between sobs. "And what if they're all like you? I can't chase them around the land or through the air. They could get hurt or...or worse!"

"But I can," he said trying to comfort her. "I'll do my best to take care of them, and you..."

Naida squeezed him tightly. "But it's not fair you you. This is supposed to be an equal partnership. If you do all the chasing, what's left for me?"

"You get to chase after the ones who dive under the water," he said stroking her hair trying to sooth her.

"Ok...that sounds a little better." She stopped and looked down at his wet chest. "I've gotten you all wet...I'm sorry. I can't even cry without you holding me up." This sent her into a new set of tears. "Why am I so weak? I never cry..." Her lip stuck out in a pout as she cuddled back against Proteus.

"You're not weak," he said gently. "You are my beautiful warrior woman, the one with the sexy daggers..."

"I love you," he said wiping away the remaining tears. "There is nothing for you to be sorry for."

Naida started to protest, then thought better of it. "Thank you."
