Death   Death had fallen asleep as well, and he stirred slightly as she touched his cheek. He had learned to sleep through screams, because his job made him hear screams so much that he dreamt them.
"Life," he murmured in his sleep. His hand, which he had slipped beneath life to hold her close, clenched as he slept, and his features seemed to be twisted into a not of agony. His dream was not a dream, but a nightmare. His body shook as he seemingly fought against restraints to get to his beloved Life, and their son.

Death   Death woke, his eyes snapping open as her lips met his. His hands gripped her upper arms, but not tightly. As he realized who it was, his grip relaxed and he closed his eyes again, kissing her deeply as he pulled her closer, then let go, sitting them both up and looking at their son.
"I see that you are awake," he said softly, with a relieved smile. He did not let on what his dream had been about or anything else, and simply went on as if the nightmare had not happened.

Death   His eyes wide, Death reached out to take his son, and held him gently, gingerly. He blinked in surprise as his son laughed and waved his arms, reaching up towards Death's face and snatching his glasses off. Death smiled and took the glasses back, folding them and setting them beside him as he held his son. He had still been half expecting to see the child shrivel and die as soon as he touched him, but seeing him still alive, healthy and whole in his arms, made his heart swell.
"What shall we name him?" he asked after a few moments of just staring at his son in awe.

Death   Death paused to think as she explained her reasoning behind each of the names.
"Why honour me in his names? He is alive... And he will have the ability to choose to give or take life, an ability that I wish that I had." Death sounded a little sad as he said this last part, but then shook his head and smiled. "But if it is what you like, then we shall name him thus. He shall be named Thanatos Etsuo Atanasio." With that, Death bounced little Thanatos upon his knee a little bit, and lay back with his head in Life's lap.

Death   Death did not like the glare that was marring Life's pretty features. He lifted one of her hands, while still holding there son with his other hand, and kissed the palm of her hand.
"My love, his name is perfect for him. He will grow up big and strong, and he will find love, just as we did," Death said softly. "We will start to teach him as soon as he is able to learn... We will not condemn him to a life filled with hate and fear..." Death's expression darkened as he remembered his own life before Life came along, and then shook his head, imagining a bright future for their son.

Death   Death lifted his head as Life kissed his forehead, and he smiled at her, hoping to soften everything that had happened.
"He will be a good child, and a wonderful set of parents," he said happily. He kissed Life and then sat up, setting Thanatos onto the bed so that he wouldn't fall off, and situating Life so that she could sleep, then he picked up Thanatos again and kissed his son's forehead, still openly awed.

Death   Death held Thanatos close, smiling at Life a little, making sure he fell asleep, before starting to observe Thanatos again. The child confounded him, and he did not know why he felt so satisfied, just holding the baby boy in his arms.
"You are important child," he whispered.
