Welcome to Gaia! ::

Waking Up

The sun started to shine into Ciaran's room as it climbed higher in sky as the day progressed. As the light hit Ciaran's exposed face as he was snuggled close to Luthor. Groaning a little as he just wanted to sleep more as Ciaran pulled the covers over his head to try and get more sleep as he nuzzled his love. But just has he was to go back to sleep his stomach growled loudly as it wanted food now. Sighing a little as he uncovered his head and gave a kiss to his white haired spawn, to see if he would wake up and also want some food like his own stomach wanted. Tho he did have to slightly wonder to were Sokan was as he was always so good at predicting things, but Ciaran hadn't seen him at all when they had come in he thought yesterday as his sense of time was so messed up as he was still so very happy with what they had done together as it felt so good. Then Ciaran thought that he would just have to make something as he knew how to cook and wasn't worried one bit to were Sokan was as the fish-man might be doing his own things and didn't want to be bothered. As he waited to see if Luthor to wake he thought on the things that he could cook for the both of them.

Luthor gave a murmuring sound as he felt Ciaran shifting, his wings opening up to give a rapid flutter, and then he his eyes slid open fora moment, "Mmmm...?" He found himself glancing toward the window, noticing that the sun was looking rather bright at the moment and he found himself wondering what time it was... how long had they been in bed? Truthfully he wasn't quite sure... he gave a little yawn before he pushed himself up so that he was sitting up before crawling closer to Ciaran, leaning into him, "Good morning... or afternoon, I am not sure exactly." He said, then gave a little smile as he pressed a kiss to Ciaran's neck before his eyes sank closed again. He was awake but still a touch groggy since he was very slow to waking it seemed.

Ciaran tail was slowly wagging as Luthor was starting to wake as even he didn't know what time it was, but didn't care for the moment and sat up as Luthor yawned and murred when his love got closer and leaned into him as it was so nice as Ciaran loved all the close contact of his lover. "Neither am I, but that is ok tho," Ciaran answered he started to purr at the kiss, as he wrapped his own hands around Luthor to bring the white haired spawn closer to him. "Your such a cutie," he said nuzzling his loves neck. "And I think it was last night was so blissful, so nice and so right," Ciaran said softly.

"I'm glad to hear I am not the only one who has lost track of the time." He said, lips turning up into a smile before he leaned cuddled closer to Ciaran as the other spawn's arms wrapped around him. His lifted his own to wrap them around him before his wings did the same, seeming as though he wanted to keep Ciaran all to himself for a moment more. He was so used to Sokan always being around when they woke up so he seemed to be trying to hide them for a moment with his wings... not that they were quite big enough for such a thing. They were good for fluttering or fanning himself but that was about it.

Lifting his gaze he gave a nod of his head, "Mmm, yes... I agree." He murmured, cheeks flushing a little as Ciaran described last night as being blissful. It was just that, something that was just plain wonderful. He gave a little yawn before smiling up at him, "How are you feeling?" He asked as he returned the nuzzles and hugs, rather enjoying being as close as this to the one he loved.

"Well we were having fun and its always said that when one is having fun they lose all sense of time," he answered with a smile as he purred more as Luthor wrapped his hands and wings around him. Ciaran was content just to stay like this forever. "That is good as we will have to do something like that again soon, but not now," he said as his tail wrapped around his loves waist. Just as Luthor has asked his question Ciaran's stomach answered it for him with a loud growling sound at wanted to be fed. "It seams that my stomach wants food, but I be find and tired," he replied not really telling the whole truth of being very very tired as he knew that he was still dehydrated from his time with Reshmi. "So are you up for some food? As I think that we are having to cook for ourselves as I don't think that Sokan is home right now," Ciaran said as he was enjoying the closeness of his love as he gave more nuzzles.

Luthor couldn't help but to give a soft laugh when he heard the sound of Ciaran's belly, making him glance down toward it, "So I see." He murmured, wings giving a little flutter before he grinned, "We should go and find some food then, I don't want you to starve." He said, giving him another hug before he moved to get to his feet, a touch unsteady but after a moment he was able to regain his balance before looking over at Ciaran, a curious look on his face. Sokan wasn't home? That was an interesting thought, it seemed that the fish-man was always here, the idea that he wasn't was one that seemed a bit surprising. Then again he supposed that Sokan had a life outside of anticipating the needs of others, surely? He gave a smile, "I am sure we can figure out our own food." He said, holding a hand out to Ciaran, offering him help in getting to his feet.

Ciaran giggled as he smiled sheepishly and was a little embarrassed about how his belly was behaving as he gave it a little rub. "Sounds like a good idea," he answered and gave a little playful pout. "I wont starve as I bet that your hungry too and I wouldn't want that either," he added as he murred more a the hug as he watched Luthor get up. "Be careful love," Ciaran said as he moved his own feet off the bed and onto the floor, but once he stood his head became lightheaded and felt really dizzy as he stumbled forward and held onto a near by bookshelf to regain is balance and force the lightheadedness to go away as he was more exhausted than he thought. Shaking his head clear and found that he could now walk as he went over to his loves side. "I think that we can too as its not too hard and if you want to walk around the house naked we can as all the windows are magiced to be one way mirrors so we can see out but no one can see in," he answered not now caring if his love saw him naked as the past was all out the window on that subject.

Luthor gave an uncertain sound in his throat, taking a step closer to Ciaran as he leaned against a bookshelf to keep his balance. He found himself wondering, "Would you like for me to get the food for us, Ciaran? You look a little more wobbly then I do." He said, wings giving a little flutter as Ciaran seemed to regain his balance enough to come over to him. He lifted his hands to smooth Ciaran's hair back, tucking it behind his ears, "I am not the best cook but I will do my best if you still need rest." He offered, giving the slightly taller spawn a smile as he offered.

He blinked at what Ciaran was saying then flushed a bit, "I will get my pants, just in case." He said, sounding quite shy as he did so. He was all well and find being sans clothing when it came to being with Ciaran but anyone else, even the possibility of anyone, and it was no longer alright. How embarrassing would it be if they were caught in such a state when Sokan came home? He flushed a bit more as he set to dressing, "Maybe another time though."

Ciaran smiled as he kissed Luthor on the cheek as he didn't want his love to worry. "No, I'm fine. I think I just stood up a little to fast is all," he replied as he petted Luthor's wings and murred when his hair was smoothing and tucked behind his ears. "That is ok, with practice I think that you will become a good cook," Ciaran replied as he wasn't the best cook in the world either. As Sokan was the one that cooked most of the time and was very good at it, but there were times that he need to cook for himself when Sokan left the house for a while.

Smiling bigger when his love flushed to what he had talked about as it was so cute and when he sounded shy too, just make Ciaran just so very happy. "Ok and I will do the same," he replied as Ciaran found Luthor so very cute with or without them. Looking around for his own pants and finding them not too far and put them on as his tail wag back and forth in a lazy manor as he waited for Luthor. "Well all right."

"Alright, if your sure." He said, giving Ciaran a bright smile. Maybe he was worrying to much because he'd had a run in with the other side of Ciaran not long ago? It could be he thought to himself, it would make sense that he would worry after Ciaran and his stress level when it came to such things, it wasn't that he feared the other side of him. Instead it was just that he didn't want Ciaran to be hurting so much that it would cause that part of him to appear. He starred up at his lover for a long moment, wings giving a flutter. He seemed alright, seemed happy even so maybe the pain had passed? He hoped so.

Once they were both ready, he laced his fingers with those of Ciaran, giving his hand a squeeze before they headed from Ciaran's room to the kitchen. They could see about finding something to eat, fill up, and then maybe, "What do you think of a bath after breakfast?" He asked of Ciaran, they could get cleaned up and he could get a look at the wound on his wrist, wanting to make sure that it was cleaned up well and wrapped carefully. Ciaran had said that he had done his best to do it himself but the bandages looked a little messy. It must be hard to wrap your own wrist since you had to do it one handed he thought to himself, "I think a good soak would be nice, if you like that is."

"I'm sure," he replied as he gave his love a warm smile and that he should worry too much. Much of all that tiredness was from his ordeal and something that Ciaran did want to keep from Luthor finding out but maybe he would tell one day but he was happy now and that was all that matter. In his mind he hoped that there wouldn't be nightmare but knowing himself well that they would come eventually as it was once way that he de-stresses after such a large event and hope it wasn't going to be bad. One thing that he needed to work on was re-awakened love of pain and cutting himself to relieve that pain and hated the feeling that Luthor wasn't going to like it much if he found out, but he wasn't going to worry about that right now. As now he had his love and that is all that mattered.

Squeezing there hands together more once they hands had been laced together. "That does sound like a good idea and a nice one at that," Ciaran answered as he pulled up there laced hands and kissed the top of Luthor's hand. Ciaran fully well knew that Luthor would see the many more wounds he had gotten in various stages of healing. He wasn't going to worry as all that was in the past. "I do and I know that you like to soak as well," Ciaran replied as he led Luthor down the stairs and into the kitchen. "So is there anything particular you want to eat?"

Luthor shook his head, "Most anything would be good I think." He was feeling pretty hungry too at the moment so he was sure that most anything was going to be quite tasty. He looked around the kitchen for a moment before leaning against one of the counters, "Its very strange for it to be so quiet." He mused out loud, lifting hand up to scratch at his shoulder over his scales before he turned his attention back to Ciaran, "Do we want to make something easy? That way I can help out." He said, eager to give Ciaran a hand even if he wasn't so good at cooking for himself. There had never been a need for it since he was able to just go to a break room, vending machine, or to the cafeteria. Food was easy to obtain at the Labs so it had never been important to learn make it himself.

"That is good as I think that I can eat just about anything as I'm just that hungry," Ciaran said sheepishly as he didn't know that he was that hungry until he had been thinking more on food and when they had gotten to the kitchen. Walking over to the fridge to see what was inside and found that it had lots of good things to eat as it looked that Sokan had when shopping before going to were ever he was. Ciaran looked back to Luthor and smiled. "Yep we can as I was just thinking that as you read my mind, love," he said as he took out a carton of eggs, some hash browns and bacon. "Making eggs, bacon and hash browns aren't too hard all we have to do is cook them in the pans and then all ready to eat," he replied as he put the ingredients down on the counter near the stove as he got the needed pans out and started to really grease one of the pans with oil for the hash browns.

Pushing away from the counter that he'd taken up leaning against the white haired spawn walked over to where Ciaran was, looking over his shoulder to take in everything in the fridge before he gave a little smile. There was a lot inside the fridge that was looking rather good, wasn't there? He gave a bit of a smile as he reached in after Ciaran got a bunch of things out to pick up an orange, taking it to the sink to rinse it off before he set to work peeling it and then pulling the sections of it apart. He popped a piece into his mouth, watching as Ciaran got out the various pans that would be needed before he held out a section of orange to him, "Want one?" The orange was good, both sweet and a little sour, and just place tasty if you asked Luthor. He was already on his third piece by the time he remembered himself set to offering some to his lover.

"Mmm, I think that I should be able to cook one of them... unless you want me to stand back?" He didn't want to get underfoot if Ciaran knew better what he was doing and didn't want a new comer to cooking risking messing up one of the items that were going to be their meal.

Once the pan he had greased was hot he dumped in the hash browns and then set onto one of the back burners to cook until is was ready to be flipped. Smiling as he looked over to see that his love was eating an orange as those were always good tasting. "Sure," he replied as they did look good as his tail hooked around Luthor's leg and made a pulling motion for him to come closer.

"You should as they aren't that hard to cook. As the eggs are the hardest as they cook up really quick and burn quick if not careful, hash browns are the easiest as we will let them be until there his a nice crust on the bottom and then flip and let the other side brown and then its done. Bacon is easy too as its really hard to wreck as it still tastes good even if its a little burnt. So you can do that one and get your butt over here to help as it will be fun and you can also learn how I cook eggs too," he replied as even if things did end up being burned it didn't matter to Ciaran as it was a meal they made together and that was what mattered.

A little laugh escaped from Luthor as he was captured by Ciaran's tail, pulled closer to him and he couldn't help but to gaze up at him in a happy manner before it clicked in his mind what he was saying and he gave a nod of his head, "Ahh... yeah, I should be able to handle the hash browns or bacon, they sound easy enough." He said, giving a smile as he looked at the two items that he was going to be in charge of before looking over at Ciaran and stuck his tongue out at him when he was told to get his butt over to helping. He lifted a hand to hold it a little over the pan to test the heat of it before looking over at Ciaran, "Do we want to get the other two things starting so that I can pay close attention to the cooking of the eggs?" He asked as he turned and set to carefully opening the packages, making a bit of a face as the weird feel of uncooked bacon but did his best to ignore it so that he could move it to the pan.

Ciaran giggle a little too hearing Luthor laugh as he just wanted to kiss his love all over, but put those thoughts aside to cook there meal. "That is good. Sometime we will have to have more cooking sessions like this to up both of our cooking skills," he replied and giggled more when his love stuck his tongue out at him and Ciaran returned the gesture and stuck out his own tongue at Luthor but smiling the whole time as it was fun. "We can as the bacon wont take too long and with the hash browns started, we can do just that. As eggs are best to be eaten right after they have been cooked," Ciaran replied as he laughed slightly at the face Luthor was making touching the uncooked bacon and wondered what faces his love would make with other uncooked meats, as he got the eggs ready to be took once the other things were done cooking.

The white haired spawn seemed to be concentrating on the task at hand quite hard and after a moment there was a flickering of a purple around the pen that was tucked behind his ear where it could always be seen and after a moment it look as though there was a small, purple colored dragon perched on his shoulder, watching what Luthor was doing as well. It seemed as though his magic were as interested in this new endeavour as Luthor himself was, "How are they look?" He asked, looking up from the pan and over at Ciaran and as he looked at him the little dragon did the same almost in sync with him, "Maybe a little longer?"

Carefully Ciaran had watch his love cook the bacon as he was doing a wonderful job at it as it looked very good and couldn't wait to eat. But when looking up from the pan, Ciaran gave a little jump when he saw the little purple dragon sitting on his loves shoulder looking down at the pan of bacon and had to giggle to himself as he knew that color and guess that it could be his magic but he had never seen it like this before and found it cool and interesting. Ciaran was about to touch the small purple dragon when Luthor asked him a question and brought his thoughts back to the cooking and looked it over and found it was cooked just right. "They look great as they are perfect as they will cook a little more as they are set aside," he said as reach for a near by plate that had paper towels on them to soak up the excess grease. "Nope they are find, just put them on the plate and you can flip the hash browns and then I can show you how to cook eggs as once the eggs are done the hash browns should as well," he replied as he looked again to see the little dragon looking at him as well. "So I take it the little purple dragon is your magic, love?"

Luthor gave a hapy sound in his throat when it seemed that he had done it right before he went about moving the bacon from the pan to the paper towel covered plate, giving a bit of a smile as he so. He was more then a little pleased over the fact that he'd done it right and that they would be able to eat something that he made! He was quite proud of himself as he set the pan on a different burner so that it would be able to cool, turning his attention then to the hash browns so that he could flip them. Once that was done he found himself looking to where the little creature was perching and he gave a smile, "I see that your not being as shy as normal." He murmured.

He, as well as the dragon, turned to looking over at Ciaran, "Yeah, this is him." He said, lifting one hand to gently scratch the little one under the chin, "Its so rare that he manifests in front of others, he must find your company as nice as I do." He said, wings giving a little flutter, a motion that the dragon seemed to do at the same time that Luthor did, showing how closely bound together the pair were.

Smiling large as he was just as proud of is love as he himself was as it was set in Ciaran's mind to have lots of more meals like this one. Also thinking to how much fun it would to do romantic dinners together as well, oh the fun! One the bacon was on the plate he set it aside for later and smiled more as Luthor looked at the little dragon as it was cute!

"He is just so cute, just like you are!" Ciaran said as he watched Luthor give the little dragon a scratch so cute he thought as his tail started to wag in excitement. "Awww, its an honor to meet and see you," Ciaran said to the little dragon a little unsure if he had a name. "Love, does he have a name as I think its a little strange to call him Luthor's magic," he added as he very hesitantly reached out to touch the little dragon and stop to let the magic decide if he wanted Ciaran to touch him, as he saw how closely bound the two where as it was so cute and just make Ciaran think more that he had to protect them both more as he would keep them safe the best way that he could.

There was a long moment of silence before Luthor looked to the dragon, "A name..." He murmured, he never thought of that before. He'd always referred to his magic as just that, his magic, always knowing that he wanted to keep it safe, keep it innocent, not to do anything bad with it, he knew a lot about it but a name? He blinked a couple times, "Do you?" He asked.

The dragon looked up at him for a long moment, tail swishing, then he gave a shrug before his attention went to Ciaran, watching as he held out a hand to him. The dragon stared for a long moment before lifting up on its hind legs, its small hands resting against Ciaran's hand and it seemed to be starring at him in an unblinking manner, as though checking for something, looking him up and down, then seemed rather happy about something and started to make a sound much like a purr a cat would make. Whatever he was looking for seemed to have been found and was happy over that.

"Seems that he likes you." Luthor said, even more surprised now seeing the dragon reaching out to someone else then he had been when the little dragon appeared in front of someone other then just Luthor himself. Maybe it was because Luthor and Ciaran were so close the white haired spawn thought to himself.

Ciaran quietly held out his hand as Luthor was talking with his magic and the shrug to Luthor as he thought that he just might have to get use to calling the little dragon to what it was his loves magic, as it didn't matter much he thought it was just a little strange.

But one the little dragon was looking at him and then Ciaran smiled as the dragons little hands were resting on his as it was a weird feeling as he thought that maybe the little dragon couldn't be touched but here he was resting his paws on his hand. Ciaran had to wonder what the little dragon was looking for as it could be a number of things and then he thought of his own magic and how destructive it could be and make his heart skip a beat in worry. Seeing that the little dragon was happy and started to purr did Ciaran relax his thought of his magic and Ciaran started to pet the little dragon since he was so cute, just like his love.

The dragon's tail swished a bit more before he lowered himself back down to sitting on Luthor's shoulder, turning to look at the food on the stove before chirping at Luthor who gave a nod of his head, reaching over to pick up a couple more sections of the orange he'd peeled earlier to eat them. He was still tired from all that had happened since he had met up with Ciaran again, things that left the little dragon just as tired and hungry, it would seem he was hungry as well and trying to encourage Luthor to eat so that they could recover their strength together. As he ate the last pieces of the orange he turned to look at Ciaran, "Do we want to work on the eggs now?" He asked curiously. Everything else seemed to be ready, all they had to do now was take care of the one last part of their breakfast before they could sit down and eat!

Still feeling honored into seeing Luthor's magic as it when back onto Luthor's shoulder and looking back to the stove did Ciaran meep a little at having diverted everyone attention from making the food. "Sorry," he quietly said as he knew that Luthor was hungry too as he watched his love eat more of the orange, yes everyone needed to get there strength back up. "Yes we can as it wont take too long and then we can eat," he said a little sheepishly as he put butter into the warming pan, as it melt cracking many eggs into the pan and stirring the eggs until they were all cook fluffy and slightly brown. "All ready. Hand me the two plate that are by you and I will serve up the eggs and you can take all you want of the other two things," Ciaran said as he turned off the heat on all the burners.

"No reason to be sorry." He said, leaning over to nuzzle against Ciaran's feathery shoulder, giving him a smile before he stepped back and watched the way that Ciaran prepared the eggs. His colorful wings opened up wide and were unmoving, all of him and the dragon as well, seemed to be stock still so that they could watch the eggs be prepared, not wanting to miss even a single detail. A few moments later the eggs were done and both Luthor and his dragon smiled brightly.

Luthor gave a happy sound as he reached over to get the plates, holding them up so that he could load them up with the eggs, "They look really good, Ciaran!" Between the eggs, bacon, and hash browns they were sure to be full after breakfast.

Ciaran flushed a little as he still was sorry about it but the little dragon was just so interesting as he had never seen anything like it before. But he did think on it a little on if his magic could do that then shiver a little that it might not be so nice. Murring when Luthor had nuzzled his shoulder and giggles to himself when he looked up to see the both of them watching the eggs cook. Smiling as he took the one of the plates from his love and put half of the eggs on that plate and handing it back to Luthor. "That they do, Luthor. Get the other things you want while I go and get ketchup for the hash browns," he said as he put the rest of the eggs on the other plate as he set the pan aside with the other pans to cool.

Luthor smiled as he was handed his plate before moving to divy up the food into equal shares for both of them, taking half of each thing to put it on his plate before he walked over to set it down on the table, pulling out his chair and then doing the same for Ciaran, giving him a smile as he did so. He waited for the return of the purple haired spawn before he settled down in his seat, shifting so that he was comfortable, wings fluttering behind him before they closed against his back. He waited for only a moment before he set to eating, seeming to be quite pleased with the taste of the food that the two of them had worked together to make. As he ate his dragon seemed to settle on his shoulder, looking pleased. As Luthor ate it would strengthen the white haired spawn which would in turn strengthen the little dragon. The little dragon's eyes sank closed before he faded from sight leaving behind the normal, purple glow around Luthor's hair that was present when the magic was present and awake.

Ciaran's tail slowly wagged behind him as he was getting the ketchup out of the fridge and some juice to drink and put it on the table. Going back to get his own food along with some glasses. Smiling as he got back to the table and then sat down at the table with his white haired spawn, as it had been very fun to make this meal together and was so very happy that everything tasted so good. As Ciaran at all of his food with much gusto as it tasted so good and he was hungry. "That was so very good! We will have to do this again another time, but I think that bath sounds nice and maybe a nap too," he said as he was a little sad to see the little dragon leave in away but knew it was there and would see it again.

"Yes, a bath and a nap sounds wonderful." He agreed, he knew that they hadn't woke up that long ago but he was still all for another rest. He pushed up to his feet to gather up his dishes and then moved to put them into the sink, making quick work of the task of washing them as well as the pans that had cooled enough for them to be washed as well. Once the little chore was done his attention was all for Ciaran once more, "Shall we?" He asked, giving Ciaran a smile as he approached him.

Ciaran tail wag a lot more as he was happy and the bath and the nap would be so good. "Yes lets!! I there is even some scents that we can put in the water as well to make it smell nice as well too," he said as he took his loves hand and took him up stairs to the bath and leaving the dishes for later as he really didn't feel like doing them right now. To were they could take there bath and then a nap.

A Baby!

Ciaran wasn't feeling all that well despite all the attention he was getting from Luthor and Aden. Grumpily over Aden and his flirty nature as he would prefer the serious part of Aden. He had been good over the last few days by staying put with the IV in and not messing with his wound even tho he really wanted to. The nightmares still came when he slept, but Luthor was there to comfort him when he woke from them and he hoped that they would go away soon.

Currently asleep as he tossed and turned with the nightmare that he was currently having and jolted awake as this nightmare had been really bad as he had watched that stupid spider having his love in its grasp as he gave a punch in the air before total waking as it had been his arm that had the IV in as it had been pulled out in that motion. Totally waking up from the noise the machine was making as he was in a cold sweet and still not feeling any better as he looked slightly pathetic. "Ah hell," Ciaran said as he accidentally pulled his IV out. "Luthor are you there could you hold me as I don't feel so well," he said hoping that his love was still there and to also confirm that his nightmare had just been that as he was very scared.

Luthor lifted his head, looking around, then gave a fluttering of his wings to try to help to wake himself up, "Ciaran...?" He murmured, looking over toward him when he heard the sound of his voice calling out. He pushed up off the cot that he was resting on that was pushed near to the one that Ciaran slept on and gave him a smile as he settled down to kneel next to the Ciaran's bed, giving him a smile, "I am right here." He said, snuggling against him, nuzzling against his chest, "Are you alright? Another bad dream?" He asked, lifting his hand to sooth his hand over his hair in a gentle manner. He was looking a bit ill, wasn't he? He wondered if it was going to be alright, was he making himself sick from his stress or was it something else? Aden would know if it were a fever, wouldn't he? Surely...

Perking up a little at hearing his white haired spawn call his name as some of that fear left as Ciaran watched Luthor come over to his cot and smiled weakly at him. Sitting up more in his cot and reached out and gave Luthor a hug the best he could and took a hold of one of Luthor's hand and gave it a squeeze as another reassurance that his lover was here. "I did have another bad dream and this one was really bad this time and my stomach still doesn't feel so well too," Ciaran answered as Luthor could feel him trembling in fear and feel the sweat on his hand that he was holding.

Luthor gave a sound in his throat, one of worry, before he slid his arms around Ciaran and hugged him close, "Its going to be alright, I'm right here." He murmured, as long as they were in the Labs at least they didn't have to worry about the one that hurt Ciaran reappearing... though this place had all of its own dangerous and darkness. It was trading one brand of evil for another he thought to himself but didn't say it out loud. Instead he gave Ciaran a smile, pressing a kiss to each of his cheeks, "Do you want me to get Aden? See if he can get you some more medicine to help your belly?" He asked of him.

There was, for a moment, a flickering of purple energy around Luthor before his little dragon appeared, perched up on his head, watching Ciaran closely and the little one's wings set to fluttering in time with Luthor's wings as the two of them gazed at him, both looking a little worried though for vastly different reasons. One worrying that Ciaran was sick and under stress, the other worrying that the sick would affect or risk the outcome of wish that the dragon had helped Luthor in granting for Ciaran. The dragon hopped down from Luthor's head to land on his arm, then hopped from there onto Ciaran and made its way to his belly, seeking out the results of the wish that lay there within him, checking on it. It was the task of the dragon to make sure things were carried out, as such the wish granted and the contract was one that a lot of power was being invested into, to make sure that the wish came to fruition. One of the reasons why Luthor was left a bit sleepy of late.

Ciaran nodded as that reassurance from his lover help the rest of the nightmare's fear leave and thought that he didn't want to sleep for awhile as he didn't like the nightmare one bit and hoped that telling Luthor what happened would help with those nightmare to leave. "Yes could you and to maybe hook the IV back up that I accidentally pulled out," he asked sheepishly as he hate others to worry even tho Ciaran only felt sick because of his pregnancy and a taxed body that was trying to heal and needed lots more nutrition that he was taking in right now.

Smiling a little more when Ciaran spotted Luthor's magic appear and watched the little dragon jump down little by little off of Luthor and on to him as that was really cute. Ciaran reached out to give the little dragon a quick pet and smiled at him. "Your worried too, I'm sorry. I didn't want to even you to worry too," he said to the dragon as he was on his tummy. "I will get well to have the gift that you and Luthor have given me," he added not thinking that the two could be connected.

The dragon's little feet kneaded against Ciaran's belly in a rather gentle manner before the little creature curled up there, tail swishing, and he looked up and Luthor and starred at him, unblinking. Luthor starred down at the dragon for a long moment, head tilting to one side before he blinked, "Wait... what?" He asked of the dragon when it continued to stare at him and knead at Ciaran. His wings snapped open, fluttered rapidly, then he pushed himself up to his feet, "Alright, I will go and get Aden, he shouldn't be far. Stay here with Ciaran, alright?" Likely the Doctor was nearby or getting himself a smoke, he would have to check he decided, heading for the door of the room they'd been moved to after a day of staying under Aden's constant care. It wasn't far from the ward that Aden was normally found in so he was quick to find the man so that he could get his help and drag him back to where Ciaran and the dragon waited. The moment that the little creature saw Aden though it vanished instantly, it shyness showing through as it didn't want to be seen by any but Luthor and Ciaran at the present.

Watching the pair of them left Ciaran a little confused at all the starring as he did wonder if they were talking with each other and he murred happy as the kneading of little dragon feet felt good. Still confused to what the pair has talked about when Luthor got up to go and get Aden and sight a little as that would invite teasing Ciaran thought. Turning his attentions back to the little dragon. "That does feel good," he told the dragon just before he vanished as Aden walked into the room as Ciaran was a little sad to see him leave, but he did feel slightly better now, but still he looked a little sweaty from the nightmare and still felt a little ill.

Aden looked between Ciaran and Luthor for a moment, looking deep in thought before he moved to sit down on the edge of Ciaran's bed, setting a small item down on the table that was near to the bed and held out a hand, "I need your index finger if you would, Ciaran, and it might sting just a little bit and only for a second but I am sure that you will be able to handle it quite easily." He said, not wanting to hurt him but knew well that this particular spawn had a high resistance when it came to pain.

Ciaran looked a little sheepishly as he was worried that Aden would be mad because of the IV as the doctor looked at the pair of them and had to wonder what the man was thinking and hoping that it wasn't something bad or flirty either. Seeing the item that Aden brought in and wondered what it was for and hope it wasn't something he wouldn't like. But meekly he gave his hand up with his index finger extended as Aden had asked. "That is fine, but what is it for?" he asked and wondered if it would tell Aden what was making his stomach upset.

He took Ciaran's hand in his and carefully pricked his fingertip, when that was done he moved it over and let the blood drip down on the test that he'd brought with him, "This is a test that will clear up some matters and help us better take care of you depending upon the answer that it reads. It should only take a couple minutes. Now, tell me about what your feeling, the symptoms I mean." They would also help in clearing things up he thought to himself, feeling the overwhelming desire to catch Luthor by that horn of his to shake him. If that test read positive it was most likely that he would do just that... as though Ciaran needed such added stress when he was already recovering from so much! The timing of the white haired spawn was terrible to say the least.

Watching to what Aden was going as it was a little interesting and the little pain that was caused by being poked was really nothing note worthy to Ciaran. "Oh that is interesting," he answered to what the doctor had brought in and had to think on it a little on what is symptoms were. "Well I know the sweating was from my nightmare I think. Well I feel nauseated when I first wake up in the morning and nothing sounds good to eat when I feel that way, but later in the day it gets better and I think that is about it," Ciaran answered Aden as he was a little confused and wondered to what that test was going to read as his tail twitched under the covers.

Aden lifted a hand to adjust his glasses before turning to look at Luthor after he was given the list of symptoms, he was sure now that between what Luthor told him, what Ciaran told him, and what he'd seen thus far that he understood what was going on... but even knowing he didn't want to say anything until the test confirmed his suspicions. His arms crossed over his chest and he tapped a foot against the floor, waiting in silence that seemed to fill the room making everything a bit tense. Aden would check the clock from time to time, waiting for the right amount of time to pass before picking up the test, looking it over before he gave a sighing sound and shook his head.

"You really should be ashamed of yourself, Luthor, do you really think now was the best of time?" He asked, sounding very unhappy and it made Luthor shift in place, looking more then a little uncertain of himself, like a child getting scolded by an adult for doing something wrong. He shook his head again before turning back to Ciaran, looking him over for a long moment before speaking, "I would have you stay here in the Labs for a while longer, Ciaran, it will be best for you and... for your child, that you stay where you can be best taken care of." He said, holding out the test to Ciaran to see that read a positive reading on it.

Ciaran got a nervous from the way the room as a bit tense from how Aden was looking and tapping his foot in the wait for the test to be done. As Ciaran was still confused to what the test was as he couldn't read what the doctor had on his mind and if he could do that it would make a lot of things more easier.

Hearing to what Aden was talking about and started to get a little angry on how the doctor was talking to his love and how Aden was making Luthor look when Ciaran looked at Luthor. Glaring at Aden when the doctor looked at him. 'But you only said for a little time not longer," he said a little angrily. "Don't do that Aden as its not his falt, I wanted it!," he growled. But now all the confusion lifted as every think when into place. "That was a pregnancy test, I all ready knew that...so me being sick was because of me carrying a child?" he asked as his anger still rise on how Aden was treating Luthor as his tail moved around like an angry snake.

"I still think it wasn't the best of times, your already recovering from other pain, other trauma. I think it best that you stay here, Ciaran, you want to do your best don't you? Your a... well a Mother now so you need to think of what is best for you little one. The first thing we need to do is get some food into you, a lot of it, some prenatal vitamins." He said, tilting his head back as he thought on all of what it was that needed to be done before he looked over at Luthor for a long moment, starring at him before he motioned to him, "Go down to the cafeteria and get him something to eat, a large meal, and then come back." He ordered the white haired spawn.

Luthor nodded rapidly, looking over at Ciaran, "I will be fast, I promise." He said, "Is there anything that you really want?" He asked of him, wanting to get for him whatever would be the best in his mind at the moment. Hadn't he heard once that pregnant people had strange cravings? Well, even if he wanted something strange he would get it for him Luthor decided. He stepped closer to Ciaran, wanting to celebrate with him, but knew food would need to come first.

As Luthor waited for what Ciaran's desire was food wise Aden went over to the phone in the room to call for a tech, giving him a list of things that he needed and told him which room to bring them too before hanging up.

"Well what is done is done," Ciaran said still angry and had a desire to shock the doctor as he tried to summon up a little of his magic it did come and just frustrated Ciaran and he grumped a little at not being able to do what he wanted to do. "Fine I will stay but once at least somewhat stronger I will go outside the labs to do stuff," he replied as he did want what was best for his and Luthor's child and was excited for it as well as it was going to be an interesting experience, well besides being sick in the mornings and he liked the thought of being a mother. Crossing his arms as he really didn't want to be in the labs for a long extended time but he will for his lover and there child and he was a little hungry now too.

Ciaran had to thing for a little to what he wanted to eat. 'Well just something that is good to eat as I really don't know what I want to eat," he did finally replied as then he thought of what another thing he wanted to eat. "Also if there is any could you bring back some ice cream as well, Luthor," he added as he felt happy that he could deal with Aden antics for at least now as he patiently would wait for his lover to bring back something to eat and started to think to why his magic wasn't working like it usually did. But he also did think that sometime he would have to give Aden a tail slap for ordering his lover around, but not right now.

Aden seemed oblivious to the fact that Ciaran had been making an attempt at shocking him, instead seeming to be to busy with waiting for the tech he'd called to arrive with what he'd asked for. Turning to look over at Ciaran after Luthor hurried off to get him his food and ice cream he gave him a bit of a smile, "I am sure your not happy with me at the moment, I bet that Luthor feels the same as you, but its by job to take care of you even if it means making you angry. What's best for you and for your child, that is what is most important, even more so then staying friends with such a cutie like you." He told him, giving him a grin before he turned to the door when there was a knock. He walked over to open it up, taking what had been brought to him and then closed the door after the Tech. He knew that a lot of the spawn didn't much care for the Techs and he didn't want to add to the stress that the now with child spawn already had on his mind.

Waiting for another opening to see if his magic would work as Ciaran knew it could be fickle, watching Aden closely for another opening. At least being a little polite to listen to what the man had to say and looked at him. "You are right about that one," he grumped but knew that Aden was right as he was very different than the others here and knew he could be trusted. The last part of what Aden said made Ciaran flush a little as he wasn't a cutie as he raised his hand and pointed towards trying to shock the man and when nothing happened and started to wiggled his arm for the magic to come out but nothing happened as he also started to growl in frustration.

"Attempting to cast a curse on me?" He asked as he walked across the room, opening up a bottle to pour a pair of pills onto his hand before closing it again. He held them out to Ciaran to take from him, "Here, your vitamins. It will help to fill in where what food you eat doesn't when it comes to all the good things that your baby needs." He told, giving a smile, "I also had them bring you a bottle of water to drink from since I see that your IV is no longer hooked up." Luthor had told him that it had gotten pulled free from Ciaran's arm but that hadn't been the first thing on his mind when he had come into the room to check up on Ciaran though.

"No, I was trying to shock you, but looks to not be working," Ciaran grumped truthfully. Seeing Aden holding out the vitamins for him to take after he was told that they were for him and took them from the doctor and took them. "Thanks and that was an accident," Ciaran said sheepishly as he took the water bottle as well and took a drink from it. "Hopefully your not too made about it coming out," he added as he didn't want to be drugged because of it.

"No, I think that it should be alright now that we know what it is that is ailing you. We can take all the right steps to make sure that we get you back on your feet... though given your condition its also best for you to get a lot rest and stay off or your feet for a while." He added. While they wanted to get him feeling better it would still be good if he rested a lot when he was feeling better, "Take this time to just relax and be lazy, I am sure that Luthor would be more then willing to take care of you given he is the one that got you knocked up." Well he was pretty sure that it was Luthor's doing in more ways then one since guys didn't just randomly get pregnant, it would need to have magic involved and such magic was something that Luthor was good at wielding.

Feeling relieved that Aden wasn't mad at him because of the IV and was also glad to have it out as it was getting annoying to have in. Tho he still so wanted to mess with his stitches but didn't wanted what would happen if he did. Well Ciaran was going to listen to Aden as much as he could before getting annoyed with his flirting, as being pregnant himself was very different and didn't know much about it. "Well that is easy enough to follow and I take it that you still don't want me messing with my stitches?" he asked as he sorta already knew the answer to that question. "I know he will..." Ciaran said softly as he flushed a lot this time as Aden figured out to who the father was going to be and got all shy about it as well.

Aden gave a bit of a grin as he saw the manner in which Ciaran was flushing all of a sudden and he reached out to give his hair a little ruffle, "So you think that I wouldn't guess?" He asked, looking very much like a happy cat that had eaten someone's pet bird, "Its pretty obvious the way the two fo you act around each other, not to mention the cute little kiss marks your both covered in." He said, reaching out to giving one that was on Ciaran's neck a playful poke before he sat down on the cot that was set up near to Ciaran's bed, watching him closely before chuckling. This was to much fun he thought to himself, seeming to be enjoying teasing the purple haired spawn.

Ciaran flushing more at the question that Aden asked. "Well yes I did! I thought you wouldn't figure it out and would you stop that," he answered as he trying to get his flushing under control as he gave a little glare at Aden as his tail snuck out of his bed and gave the man a smack with it were it could reach, even tho Ciaran though the face was a good place to be smacked with the feathered end of his tail. "No its not only to you it is as I know you look for that type of stuff," he replied as he covered up that mark with his hand one Aden was done poking it. As his other hand when to one of the bite marks he had gotten from the spider and gave it a rup as a shiver when down his spine in slightly remember some of what happened and stopped rubbing it and pushed that memory out of his thoughts. "So is there anything else that you want," he asked seeing Aden sit down in the cot and grumped.

The Doctor shook his hand rapidly after it got smacked before giving a grin, "Meany." He said in a teasing manner, looking his hand over to make sure that his hand was undamaged then grinned again, "Yeah, I do notice those sorts of things pretty easily." He agreed, smiling away, seeming to have relaxed a bit knowing that Ciaran was going to stay around and behave himself while letting Aden tend to his medical needs and Luthor to the rest of them, "There is nothing more I want at the moment, once Luthor gets back with your meal I will leave the two of you to your... alone time." He couldn't resist saying in a tone that made it seem as though it were something more then just the two of them being alone together, then winked to made it that much worse.

"You deserve it in the face and I'm not a meany. Your the one teasing a sick and pregnant person," he retorted back to Aden in a grouchy mood. As he didn't want to hurt Aden but just to make sure it stung what want he wanted the effect of tail smacking. "Well maybe you should stop that," he answered. "Well that is good..." Ciaran said he flushed again what Aden was implying as he wouldn't do that activity here of all places as he wouldn't want to be walked in on especially Aden of all people. "Will you stop that its not like that," he stammered as he glared at Aden more.

"Yes, maybe its not very nice of me. I suppose I should be nicer, huh? How about we kiss and make up inste..."

"Aden, can you please stop hitting on Ciaran the moment I am gone?" Came Luthor's voice as he came into the room, tray in hand. His wings fluttered behind him and he looked half tempted to attempt to kick the Doctor... he refrained because better that a flirty Doctor dealt with Ciaran then one that would look at him like he were some sort of experiment or that their child was the same. He drew in a deep breath to steady his emotions as he walked over to where Ciaran was sitting, placing the tray on his lap, "I got a few various things for you along with a couple of ice cream sandwiches, I hope those are close enough to ice cream for you?" He said, giving his lover a smile.

Aden pushed himself to his feet, looking the pair over and then smiled, "Now, the vitamins are to be taken once a day, make sure he takes them alright Luthor? If you need anything else I will be at my desk or just outside on a break, alright?" He told them pair, giving them a smile before heading for the door. He found himself suddenly... torn. He wondered if he should tell his Boss as he would any other discovery like this... or should he leave it up to Luthor since the guy was his son. Shouldn't news about his grand child come from his child...? Of course they didn't really get along, did they? He gave a thoughtful sound, deciding to leave it alone for now.

Ciaran glared at Aden as he wasn't going to give the flirty doctor any type of kiss as those belonged to Luthor and there child. "Bad, Aden," he said to the doctor as he turned his attention to Luthor and the food he brought as it looked very good. "It all looks very good to eat and you should eat some too and ice cream sandwiches are just fine," he replied to his lover as Ciaran was trying to decide on what he wanted to eat first.

Glad to see Aden get to his feet as it looked that he was going to leave them be as he didn't know how much longer he could have taken all the teasing and flirtatiousness of the doctor before giving him a mouth full of feathers. "Alright," Ciaran replied still a little grumble that he had to stay at the Labs longer but was happy enough that he has his lover with him and soon enough there child too. He couldn't be more happier and was hoping that his life would stay this way without very bad stuff to happen again.

Luthor turned to watch as Aden headed out of the room, wondering for a moment what had put such a thoughtful look on the man's face but figured it was likely something perverse that he didn't want to know about... instead he shook his head and turned his attention back to his lover, giving him a s smile, "I am glad that I got things that you will like, if you need anything more after this just tell me and I can get seconds." He should have gotten something for himself as well sense he was feeling a bit hungry but for the moment Ciaran and his needs were far more important then his own. As such he'd made sure to pile the tray high with what he had seen that he hoped his lover would enjoy.

"Well its just so sweet of you to go and get all of his for me," Ciaran said as he looked over all the food that was there and thinking that he wouldn't be able to eat it all himself as he slid to the side of the bed with his feet dangling off the end and slid over and motioned to Luthor to sit next to him. As he rolled a small wheeled table over to the bed were Luthor could put the food down on it. "Why don't you put that down and put your cute butt next to mine and help me out with this food as I don't think that I can eat all of this and if we want more there is always more we can get," he said with a smile on his face as he was so very happy to be having there child, as even Ciaran wanted to take care of his lover the best that he could and to protect him and his magic as well.

Luthor flushed a bit at comment about his 'cute butt' before he moved to sit down next to him, giving him a smile, "Are you sure? I want to make sure that you and our baby are able to have as much as you want. Once your full I will eat as well." He said, leaning over to press a kiss to his lover's temple, then drew back and motioned at the food, "Come on, Ciaran, eat up. It will be good for you to eat a lot, as much as you want!" He was ready to fetch as much as his lover wanted, any sort of food he wanted, so long as he could find it that was. His wings set to fluttering behind him in an eager manner, seeming to give away quite excited about everything going on even if he hadn't had time to say so yet given that he'd been ordered to go on a food run by Aden.

Ciaran gave a little giggle as Luthor flushed a little as it was true, his lover did have a cute butt as he himself gave a little flush when he thought of that night of pure joy. "Yes I'm sure Love. I know you do, but there is only so much I can eat in one sitting. Well you better as I don't want you going hungry just because of me," Ciaran answered as he didn't want others to suffer because of him as he was willing to do it to keep those he loved safe and murred when his lover kissed his temple. "Oh alright, but you have and ice cream sandwich first while I eat some of the other stuff, alright?" he asked as Ciaran saw Luthor's wings fluttering. "I'm glad that we are going to have a child, despite what Aden said," Ciaran said as he hadn't liked how Aden had treated his lover about the matter. "I'm very happy about it and glad that you gave me such a gift to share with you, my love," he added as his tail wrapped around Luthor's waist and also giving his love a quick kiss on his neck.

He looked down at Ciaran's stomach for a moment, wings fluttering a bit faster as he heard him speaking of the little life that was resting there and he could feel his heart start to beat a little quicker in his chest, "It is... quite amazing." He murmured, not knowing what to say about it all, he knew that it was going to happen since the wish had been granted but he didn't know how quickly it would happen. After all he was never around after granting such a wish for others and only ever saw the results of his wishes after the fact if he were lucky. Leaning over to rest a hand on his love's belly, giving a smile, wings fluttering, "So wonderful, can you believe it? Your... You don't think it was to soon do you? To bring this wish about?" He asked, reflecting on what Aden had said, worrying a bit about it.

When he was given the kiss on the neck he gave a bit of a smile, relaxing somewhat, "I am happy, Ciaran, don't get me wrong. I just worry about you is all." He said, then snuggled against him for a moment, "I will take care of things though, make it easier on you so you don't have to worry about anything but relaxing and carrying our baby." He said, hand continueing to strong his belly affectionately before he flushed a little, "Ah! Sorry, here I am clinging to you when you should be eating." He said, sounding embarrassed.

Smiling at his love as he put his own hand down on top of Luthor's hand that was resting on his stomach. That smile only got bigger when his love thought it was amazing and he was total right it was, except about the whole sick in the morning thing that could just go away. "It is very quite amazing and I'm excited for it all to happen what ever will happen," he answered as he did wonder to what was going to happen as he had only see Adriel pregnant and twice thinking that it was still the same baby but wasn't as he didn't know how long he would carry, but he would leave it up to the baby to decide when it wanted out or maybe to Aden since he was a doctor. Ciaran started to purr and still smiling. "That it is. I don't its one of the best things that I have wanted and the other as you as my lover. It couldn't have happened at a better time to have good things happen then to reflect on the bad memories," he replied as he gave a little kiss to his lovers cheek. "Don't let Aden's attitude get to you. As it was our decision to do so, not his. Let him be all grumpy over it and lets just be happy about it and all the joy that this new life will bring," he added as he was still mad at Aden for his additive over it as it was his body and his life, as it was much need happiness he needed after what had happened to him. Something soon he would have to talk to Luthor about as he was a little scared as he knew that Luthor wouldn't be happy over all that happened and just wanted to protect Luthor for that spider.

"That is good as so am I, Luthor. Don't worry too much over me as I can take care of myself too," he replied as he didn't want his love to worry as it just made him feel a little guilty. "I know you will and I will still worry about you none the less," Ciaran said as he murred with his love so close. "Don't be sorry, cling all you want as I like it and I can eat one handed fairly easily," he said with a smile as he picked up the fork and started to eat and every now and then give Luthor bites to eat.

Luthor gave a nod of his hand, wanting nothing more then to hug himself closer to Ciaran, something that he planned on doing once he was done eating. The white haired spawn was in a good, if over protective mood. His wings fluttered from time to time behind him and he found himself being given bites here and there and finding that the food smelled so good that he couldn't refused what was offered to him. Funny that he was feeling so hungry at the moment, maybe it was because he was so used to eating with Ciaran the passed few days? Now that he was so used to it now that he was eating he automatically wanted to do the same? It did make sense to him.

"Its surprising how good the food here is but then again he hires all the best people to fill the various positions, it makes sense that he would hire on the best cook as well." He said, he was sure that the guy wanted to have all the best people working for him, though it amused him that one of those 'best people' was Aden. He knew that the man was skilled but his skills didn't always make up for his tendency to flirt so much, "Are you enjoying the meal? Do you think the baby is?" As though Ciaran could guess that...

Finding the food so good he did have to wonder why the techs got to have food that tasted so good as he thought that they should get nothing of the sort. He did think that he might have to later on play a joke on the techs by putting things into the food that would have funny results like putting laxatives in the food. "I know. It something I think those stupid techs don't deserve. But there are those that only like the best and nothing other would work," Ciaran replied. Putting down his fork and sliding the tray to a closer for Luthor to reach. "Yes I am but I cant eat another bite," the purple haired spawn said he started to nibble on an ice cream sandwich as there was still a nice amount of food there for Luthor to have his fill. "I think so but I'm not too sure. But if I'm content I think that the baby would as well," he answered his love and giving him a kiss.

Luthor looked at the food that was nudged his way, "Are you sure?" He asked even as he picked up the fork and started to eat, even if he wanted to wait until he had a definite answer it would appear as though his own appetite wasn't about to let that happen. Strange that he was so hungry but perhaps it had something to do with the Wish he'd granted? He had been rather hungry after such wishes were granted before now but never so many days after making a deal. It was quite strange really but there were many factors to consider he told himself as he continued to gobble down his meal, seeming to barely be bothering to chew. Soon enough he'd cleaned the plates of what Ciaran had left and he gave a happy sigh, "Ahhh, nice and full!" He said, moving to cuddle up against Ciaran's side, nuzzling against him, wings aflutter once more with happiness. Nothing better then a full belly and being able to curl up with the one that he cared so much for he though to himself, nuzzling against Ciaran though carefully so as not to risk poking him with his horn.

Smiling to see his lover eating the rest of the food as Ciaran knew he might have been hungry too as there had been a lot of food. "Yes I'm sure," he replied as he waited for Luthor to finish his meal as he thought to what type of other meals they could cook together once he was out of the medical ward. "That is good," Ciaran replied as he murred at that nuzzling and gave nuzzling of his own as well as kisses too. "Now that we are both full how about we take a little nap?"

"A nap would be nice, I want to curl up with you... do you think there is room on the bed? Or should I lay on the cot?" He knew before when Ciaran had the IV in that he couldn't curl up with him as he didn't want to risk getting tangled by it, that was no longer a problem though so it should be alright, right? He hoped so, it was something that he wanted quite badly to do, to be able to enjoy being curled up with his lover once more like they had been when they were staying at Ciaran's place. That was something he was starting to miss more and more he thought to himself.

"That is good and I want to curl up with you as well. You keep your butt right were it is and I think that the bed is big enough for the both of us," Ciaran replied as he pushed the rolling tray away from the bed as he got back into the bed and laid down making room for Luthor to do the same. The bed might not be as big as the bed at his place but it was big enough for the both of them to cuddle together and if Aden didn't like it then he would just give the doctor a face full of feathers. Ciaran patted the bed next to him as he just wanted to hold his lover close and to kiss him more too to feel safe and to keep his lover to himself until there child came, but all of them would be his to love and to protect too.

Giving a bright smile Luthor waited for Ciaran to lay down before he laid down, pressed against his lover's back, one arm draping around him in an affectionate manner, his hand resting on Ciaran's belly. His lips turned up into a happy sort of smile and his eyes sank closed. In this position he could hug onto Ciaran, rest his hand protectively over their child, and keep his wings from being squished as well. He just had to be careful not to bump Ciaran with his horn was all. He lifted his gaze for a moment up as though trying to look at the onyx horn, for a moment considering the thing to be a bit of a nuisance but didn't think on it to hard. As nice as it would be to not have to worry about the thing it was a part of him and not one he would throw away. It might be part of 'his' bloodline but his Auntie also had one so it couldn't be all bad.

Ahh... yes, Auntie. He needed to tell her about the baby but first, "I think, soon, we should tell my Dad and Sokan, once we are ready that is." He murmured, pressing a kiss to Ciaran's neck in a gentle manner, then nuzzled against the pretty feathers that decorated his shoulder.

Murring when his lover pressed his body against his back as Ciaran just loved the close contact with his lover as his eyes closed as well. All of his thought were consumed but how much he loved his Luthor and to there soon to come baby, smiling happily. His tail wrapped around Luthor as he felt his loves hand on his belly and moved one of his hands on top of Luthor's hand over to were they baby was. Ciaran had never been worried about Luthor's horn as he thought it was beautiful and didn't care if he did accidentally get poked by it.

"That is a good idea, as we can tell your dad sooner since he is closer and I don't know when Sokan would be back as it could be a while before he is. How about we do so soon when I can sneak out without Aden knowing we are gone or have him just come and visit us here, but I will leave that up to you as I will do what you decide," he replied as he thought it would be fun to make Aden a little upset for leaving this room for a visit to Almas as Ciaran was going to yank that doctors chain the most he could for all that flirting Aden did. Purring in delight as Luthor kissed his neck and giggled slightly to when Luthor nuzzled in his feathers. "That tickles,"

Luthor gave a nod of his head, "Maybe after our nap we can go and seek him out, I know hes been a bit busy lately but I am sure that if we can find him alone we can certainly get him to come and talk with us for a while." He said, the only reason that he hadn't sought out his father yet to talk with was due to Ciaran not feeling well, not to mention that with Almas working so closely with Vampy he was sure that he wouldn't be able to get close enough to him without chancing a confrontation with 'him'. There wasn't any ifs about that either, it just seem that he and that guy rubbed each other the wrong way and that they seemed to end up arguing whenever they were near one another... giving a shake of his head he pushed such thoughts aside and focused on the good instead of the bad. It wasn't something he did often since he was often worrying about what might happen, who he might run into, and what was coming next... but when he was with Ciaran he was able to think of the good instead of the bad.

Luthor's eyes sank shut and he gave a soft sound in his throat, enjoying the warmth and closeness of his lover and it wasn't to long before he was dozing off, his hand staying right where it had been resting against Ciaran's belly.

"That sounds like a good idea and a good long talk would be fun," Ciaran replied as he had a few times met Almas when he was young and some when he had gotten older but it had been some time that he had seen his lovers father and was excited for that meeting.

As Luthor was making the of sound in his throat lulled Ciaran to sleep along with the closeness of his lover and the warmth as well, keeping his own hand were it was resting with Luthor's hand.

Telling the News

Settling near to were Luthor was leaning on one of the counters as they waited for Almas to come back. As the time went on Ciaran got a little more nervous to how the fallen was going to take the news. Once Almas had come into the break room Ciaran did calm down just a little as excitement over came him as his tail was wagging behind him in an excited manner. "Hello, Almas," he said politely as he made sure to keep his arm with the stitches out of sight of the fallen as Ciaran didn't want him to see what he had done to himself.

Patiently Ciaran didn't say anything as his lover asked his dad to go outside to talk but he was smiling big, excited as his tail showed just how excited he was. Following the both of the out of the break room and outside of the labs to talk, Ciaran didn't say anything as he was going to let his white haired spawn tell the news as it was his to tell as he walked near his lover excitedly waiting for it all to happen.

Almas was looking at the pair as they walked along as a group and outside, wondering what it was that was going on. It seemed to be quite secretive which only made him that much more curious about it all. It had to be something quite exciting, huh? He felt himself getting that much more excited as they walked along given the expressions on their faces, it was as though they were doing their best to keep the news to themselves until they were outside and could talk to him just them and him, no Techs, no other spawn, no Boss, no Doctors, just them, "Well?" He asked as they went outside, looking between the pair.

Luthor looked over at Ciaran for a moment as they started on a calm walk around the grounds, enjoying the warm weather that they were experiencing. He gave a smile when they were finally a good distance away from the doors to the Labs. He turned to face his Dad then, seeming to be thinking on how exactly he was wanting to tell him and he could tell that just being near to them was enough to make him smile and almost laugh, "Ahh, so we have some news for you." He said, reaching out to take hold of one of Ciaran's hands in his which seemed only to make Almas that much more excited.

"Alright. Tell me when your ready." He said, doing his best to stay calm even though he wasn't really feeling anywhere near calm at the moment.

A soft laugh escaped from Luthor seeing the effect the anticipation was having so he nodded, looking up at Ciaran again, smiling at him in an affectionate manner before looking back to Almas, "Ciaran is carrying our baby." He said, keeping his voice down even if he wanted to say it loud enough for anyone to hear... while he wanted to share the news he didn't want to share the news in this place.

"Ahh! Really?" Almas asked, eyes going wide, the good one focusing on Ciaran's belly for a moment before he stepped forward to wrapped the two of them in a hug, pulling them close, clinging happily to them. A baby! His baby was having a baby! How exciting!

Ciaran smiled lovingly at his lover every time he looked over as he was excited about it all and also enjoying the warm weather as he was glad to have winter finally over with as he was tried of the cold. Staying calm but so very bubbly inside as his tail still continued to wag and taking hold of Luthor's hand when he reached out to take his and gave it a little squeeze and smiled more.

It had become very hard to stand still waiting for his lover to tell the news as he knew that Almas was excited for the news they carried and that made him feel so warm and fuzzy inside. Smiling back to his lover with warmth and much affectionate manner as his tail started to wag even faster now. Ciaran giggled a little when Luthor finally did tell. "Yes," he said in an excited tone and was happy to see that Almas was just as happy as they were about there child as he murred when Almas pulled the both of them in for a hug and returned that hug to the both of them still careful of his stitches and from Almas seeing them, as he was so very excited.

After a moment Almas drew back and gazed up at the two of them again, smiling brightly, "I am glad to hear such good news and to see how happy the two of you seem about it." He said, he was worried about the pair of them, worried about all the spawn really, and whenever he heard good news about them he just wanted to cheer. He took a step back, "How far along? How are you doing with it, Ciaran?" He asked, sounding curious, wanting to know all about what was going on and how Ciaran was doing, "Can you feel the baby moving yet?"

At that question Luthor found himself looking over at Ciaran curious, "Oh... can you?" He asked, wondering if he could feel the baby moving yet, if so would Luthor be able to feel it if he put his hands on his belly? He guessed that it was to early but he was still curious none the less.

Oh so very happy and still very excited that Almas was happy to hear there good news and when Almas drew back Ciaran stayed near to his lover. "I'm also glad that you are happy for us Almas," Ciaran replied even tho he was happy and excited he was nervous to how the fallen would have taken the new even tho he knew it would be good, but he worried none the less but now that worry was gone. Thinking a bit on the questions that Almas had asked and flushed a little at all the questions asked, as he didn't want to worry anyone else more than he had to. "Not that very along maybe a week maybe a little longer. I really don't know," he answered as he still flushed as the whole sense of time was all jumbled up for the gray skinned spawn so he truly didn't know, but oh well he has his lover and that was all that really mattered. "I'm going great with it and so very excited with all of it even tho I don't like getting sick when I get up in the morning, but its all good," he added as he kept on hiding his stitches as he had been a little nervous about letting anyone else know as he didn't want Almas to worry over that part just to have him happy over the baby and thought for a second on the last question as he hadn't felt anything yet but knew that later on he would be. "No I haven't yet," Ciaran answered as he turned to Luthor and gave him a quick little kiss on the cheek. "I think its a little soon, but soon enough I think that I will be," he added as he did have to wonder to how it would feel to have the baby moving around inside of him.

Luthor lifted one hand to rest it against Ciaran's belly, as though to try to encourage the baby to set to moving around but there wasn't anything quite yet. Soon enough though he bet and he couldn't wait, "It will be so exciting to feel it move." He said to both Ciaran and Almas, once he felt the baby moving it would be even more real since that would show the life that was within his lover. For now though it was only his magic and the tests that Aden did that knew for certain of the baby but he knew that they would see signs other then poor Ciaran getting ill soon enough. Or at least he hoped so!

Almas gave a smile before asking, "Have you told anyone else?"

Luthor gave a shake of his head, "Aden knows but that's only because of who and what he is." He explained, glancing for a moment toward the building then back to his Dad, giving him a smile, "Your the first to be told." He said, sure that Almas was thinking about another within the Facility just from the thoughtful look on the face of the Fallen which had him speaking again, "I will tell him... just not yet. Don't tell him, not until Ciaran is no longer here."

"Ahh... alright." It was difficult, the idea of keeping a secret from Vampy but since it was his son that was asking he would do his best to do as he was asked.

Ciaran smiled more when Luthor put his hand on his belly to see if the baby would move, but he knew that there would be lots of that when the baby was father along and could be felt. "That it will and I can't wait for it," he replied as he hope that the morning sickness would end soon enough as he didn't know if that would effect the baby or not and hoped that it didn't. Ciaran was willing enough just to let Luthor do all the talking as it was his father and his news to share as he would get his turn soon enough and he also just didn't know what to say either. Ciaran did flushed some more when his lover told that Aden did know and to how he found out and to his reaction to the whole thing as well. His tail did flick a little at the mention of Vampy, but didn't say anything about it, but gave Almas warm smiles as he would weather the Labs to let the fallen see his grandchild and maybe would have to ask Aden just to how long the doctor wanted him to stay as he didn't know how long before he would get antsy to get back home and also wondered if his lover would come as well too.

Almas watched the way that the two moved around each other, the gentleness, the way they smiled at each other, exchanging touches. It was quite amazing really, to see such love between the two of them and it made him more then a little happy to know that something like this happened for his son. Luthor was always worrying far to much, he worried for a while there that his son would never find such happiness and yet here he was with a someone he loved, with a child on the way, it made him feel so relaxed not to mention that he was so excited for them, "I am glad for the two of you, this is so wonderful." He told them, stepping closer to give them each other gentle hug and a kiss on the cheek, "Please, if you can, think about coming by so that I can meet the baby at least once?" He asked. He knew that they might not be comfortable with the idea since it meant dealing with everyone else that lived in this place but Almas hoped to meet his grandchild. He gave a happy sort of sound, "Can you believe it? I'm going to be a grand father." He murmured happily.

Luthor couldn't help but to smile hearing the happiness in his Dad's voice, it was a nice thing to know hear that Almas was so happy for them. He looked over at Ciaran when they were asked that question then back to Almas, "Yes, I would like for you to meet the baby though before that would be my meeting with 'him'." He wouldn't risk taking the baby here until after he was able to talk with that guy, make sure that he was going to leave their child alone in the same manner he'd always left him alone. After all why would he want anything to do with the baby since he'd skipped his chance to have anything to do with Luthor? Not that he cared of course!

Ciaran purred ever so slightly when Almas gave him a hug and a kiss on his cheek as it was very nice and different as the only one that had kissed him was Luthor but that was a different type of kiss all together, the one he had gotten from Almas made him feel happy, warm and cared for by others than his lover. As he gave a reassuring smile to Luthor about the question. "I would never deny you that privilege, Almas and bring the child over often as we can," Ciaran replied after what his love said. As he wanted Almas to be part of there child's life too, but knew it would happen after Luthor had his talk. Very excited still over Almas's happiness and there happiness that not even Aden might being mad at him for sneaking out would dampen his mood. "That you are and your going to be a good one, Almas," Ciaran said as he looked towards Luthor and smiled warmly at his love as his tail wrapped around one of his legs in a happy manor.

"Thank you, Ciaran, Luthor, its something that I look forward to." He said, rather excited to get to see his grandchild. He opened his mouth to say more when he heard a throat clearing and he turned to look over his shoulder to see Aden standing there looking none to happy. The Fallen tilted his head to one side before he gave a smile, "Hello, Aden. Your looking well." He said, seeing that the man wasn't looking terribly pleased and he hoped to distracted him just a bit.

The man paused in whatever he was about to do before he starred at Almas for a long moment, then shook his head to clear it, "No, I will not let you distract me." He said, looking over at Ciaran, "I think that its about time that my patient comes back to his room so that he can rest some more. I appreciate that they wanted to tell you the news but I am sure they didn't tell you that he is supposed to be in bed right now, resting up, and not sneaking off?" He asked.

Almas cocked his head to the side then shook it, "I wasn't aware." He said, looking over at Ciaran, "Are you alright? Do you need to sit down?" He asked of him, sounding worried for the sweet spawn and his baby.

Luthor sighed, "Dad, don't listen to Aden. Ciaran is fine and he really needed to get some fresh air and to stretch his legs is all, isn't that right, love?" He didn't want Almas and Aden both bothering Ciaran when the last thing he needed was any stress. Besides he wanted to take good care of his lover and not have a bunch of other people doing that for him. If he could chase them off, or at least chase Aden off, he would... but instead he just stepped in closer to his lover, sliding an arm around his middle protectively.

"Your welcome!" Ciaran said happily as he felt like dancing around to the joy that he felt, but hearing a throat clearing and spied a not to happy doctor all of the feathers of his neck and shoulders fluffed up as they had been caught red handed and out of bed. Tho he had to giggle a little when Almas had distracted the doctor for a little and then once Aden did look to him, he gave the doctor a sheepish grin 'dam I got caught' look.

That expression was quickly replied with a smile as Ciaran looked to Almas. "Don't worry, Almas. I'm fine and that is right, love," he replied trying not to sound nervous as he felt right this second as he didn't want to be sedated for something Aden thought was wrong, but then he didn't say anything about not leaving his bed, just the Labs. As his lover stepped in closer, Ciaran moved a little more closer to try to in a way hide from Aden as he also put one of his hands on Luthor's arm that was around his middle. "Anyways Aden I wasn't sneaking out, I would only be doing that if you didn't want me to leave the medical ward but you only wanted me to stay in the Labs. In which I have and you shouldn't be upset about it," Ciaran pointed out to Aden as he somewhat knew that Aden had wanted for him to stay in his bed until the doctor had said other wise, but Ciaran loved to take things in a literal sense one thing that Sokan had gotten use too and made sure to spell out all the boundaries.

Aden opened his mouth... then stood there with it agape for a moment before he closed it, thought for a moment, then sighed, "Fine, I suppose that's true but either way I think it would be best for you to rest for a while longer, I want to make sure that your strong enough before you go wandering around and before you think about going home." He said, then pointed at the door, "Come on now, Ciaran, its time for you to rest up, alright?"

As he was talking to Ciaran Luthor turned to his Dad, "We should probably get back before Aden's head explodes, you should come visit when you can, alright?" He said, giving his Dad a smile before his attention went back to Ciaran, "Want to head back then? If your ready to go back to resting again that is?" He didn't want to force Ciaran to go back but it might be easier so that Aden didn't continue to follow them and tell them how Ciaran should be in bed.

Ciaran looked ever so smugly at how he had stumped Aden in his thoughts and cheered to himself for that as that was one point for him and none for Aden. Tho he had a feeling that Aden in the future was going to be more careful on what he wanted for Ciaran to follow, but he was up to that challenge to make up for all the flirting the doctor did. Ciaran looked back to Luthor and smiled at his lover as he was alright about going back to bed as he gotten a little walk in and got Aden's undies it a bundle which was fun. "Yes, lets head back," he answered. "But we will have to do something like this again to make Aden's head explode," he added in a whisper into Luthor's ear to where only his love could hear. "All right Aden I will come back and rest," he said with a little sigh as he still just wanted to keep on walking with his lover and Almas as it was fun. "Yes Almas you should when you are free," Ciaran said as he did enjoy talking with the fallen and he hoped that Almas wouldn't worry about him except to be happy and excited to be a grand father.

Alms followed them into the Labs and walked along with the trio for as long as he could, once they reached the turn that he was going to take he looked at the pair, "Get some good rest, Ciaran, and I will visit you all whenever I have the chance." He didn't want for Vampy to think that he was abandoning him but he wanted to check in on the pair as often as he was able to do, "You two rest up and tell me when your ready to head out." He gave out a few more hugs, ducked out of the way when Aden attempted to get a hug of his own, then hurried off down the hall knowing that he needed to get the tea going for his Boss before the man came looking for him.

Luthor waved to him as he went before he turned back to Ciaran, snuggling close to him, keeping himself near to the one that he loved, "He seems quite happy, now it makes me that much more excited to see what Sokan thinks."He said to Ciaran, nuzzling against his pretty feathers, then gave him a kiss on the cheek.

All the affection had Aden starring, eyes wide, in a delighted manner. What a nice show was all the Doctor could think as they made their way back to the room that they had been staying in up to now, "Alright, here we are. Now I would ask the next time you decide to go on a walk that you come and tell me first, I am supposed to be keeping a monitor on you and your health, remember? Not to mention the health of your little one. So, back to bed, and behave yourself Ciaran." The Doctor said, motioning for him to head to the bed that was waiting for him, the bedding having been changed which Ciaran was away to keep things fresh and clean for the purple haired spawn.

Having walked next to his lover as they walked back into the Labs. "I will and okay," Ciaran answered the fallen and did hope that he could come and visit soon enough. "We will, so don't you worry about it," he said as he murred at the few more hugs from the fallen and had give a few of his own, but ever careful of his stitches and smiled when Almas ducked out of the way when Aden tried to get a few hugs for himself.

Waving goodbye to Almas until Luthor turned back to him and gave more snuggles in which he reciprocated affectionately back to his lover. "That he does and that is a good thing too. You are right about that one I'm so very excited about telling Sokan," Ciaran replied as he couldn't wait for that day to happen but to when only Aden could tell him that since the doctor had told him that he couldn't leave until he got the okay from Aden. Murring at the nuzzling of his feathers and the kiss on his cheek as he then kissed his lover on the cheek too as his tail wrapped around Luthor's middle as Ciaran smiled at his lover.

Giving a little sigh as they had arrived back to his room in the medical ward. Ciaran thought that there would have to be to be other ways for him to put Aden's undies in a twist and he would come up with them and use them as well for as long as this stay was going to be. "Oh all right Aden we will," Ciaran said very reluctantly, as it had been nice to walk with his lover and talk with his dad too. "Ok, ok I'll remember," he added as he was still going to test Aden's limits to what he could get away with. "Well I have been behaving, as before you didn't say that we couldn't go on a walk and I haven't done anything to my stitches," he whined a little as walked over to the bed and taking his lover with him and sat down on the bed. To where he took a long look over that wound as there had been times that he so much wanted to mess with it, before he showed Aden that it still wasn't messed with.

Aden waited for the pair to sit down before walking over to them, motioning for Ciaran to given him his arm. He took it gentle in his hand, looking the stitches over, and was pleased to see that Ciaran was being honest and had left this particular wound alone, "It looks as though its healing pretty well. If you are able to leave it alone for a while longer we will be able to remove the stitches which would be nice now, wouldn't it?" He said, giving Ciaran a smile, "Now lets see. Did you eat today? Did you take your vitimins? And how are you feeling at the moment?" He asked, deciding that if he were here he might as well give Ciaran a miny examine to get a feel for how he was doing today as opposed to when he'd first showed up with Pepper and then again when he showed up with Luthor.

Huffed a little when Aden came over to them as he gave his arm for him to look at and that it wasn't being messed with. Ciaran just wanted the Doctor to just mind his own buisness sometimes. "That is good," he answered as his feelings over messing with it were still strong and didn't know how long he could go without messing with it or doing something else. "Yes that would," he replied with a little sigh as then he wouldn't have to also worry about that threat that Aden gave too if they were out. Ciaran did glare at the Doctor for a little as he hated to be fussed over as he could stand his lover doing it but Aden was another matter. "Yes we did before seeing Almas and I did take them right before we left," Ciaran answered as he just wanted Aden to leave them alone, but thought for a second to how he felt, he did feel a little queasy but nothing note worthy to tell Aden. "I'm feeling alright, so stop worrying Aden,"

"I understand I am likely driving you crazy but it is my job to look after you, remember?" He told him, giving him a smile before he released his hand after giving it a squeeze, "Now, I am well aware that your probably counting down the days until your allowed to leave, to go home and I actually think that you will be able to do so soon so long as you keep on good behavior and continue to eat well, sleep enough, and take your vitamins. I bet that is great news, huh?" He asked, giving them a smile.

Luthor gave a nod, finding that to be the best news as he wanted nothing more then to get Ciaran back to his place where he would be safe and able to do more then what Aden would allow him to do. At home was Sokan as well, someone that Luthor knew would be able to look after Ciaran when he came back here to talk with 'him' about what was going on. That they might be able to get Ciaran home soon, before he started to show enough that people would notice, would be nice.

Ciaran rolled his eyes at that statement as he knew it was true but hard to stomach sometimes because of his past here. He was going to tolerate it for the time being for Luthor and for Almas and to heal quick to get out of here and back home and to do more than just to lay in bed. Tho Ciaran did give Aden a small smile in return as he took his arm back but didn't know what to think of the squeeze of his arm for the Doctor and sighted a little more as he sorta was counting down the days but one cant count them down if one didn't know how much longer one was going to be here. "Yes that is," he answered as it was good news as he just wanted to go home with his lover and to were Luthor could also take care of another thing when he wasn't here as his tail gave a happy little wag at those thoughts as he took a hold of one of Luthor's hands and gave it a little squeeze. But he smiled a little as in that time he was going to test the limits of Aden's patience in that time.

Aden couldn't help but to laugh seeing how excited Ciaran looked, tail wagging even, when he was told that he would be able to leave soon. After looking the pair over he gave a smile, "Alright, I will head back down to the ward where my desk is for now, if either of you need anything that is where I will be, come and see me there. Also, if you plan to leave this room for a while tell me as well." He didn't want to come down here to check on things only to find an empty bed again. That was to worrisome for him when all he wanted was to keep a close eye on him, to make sure that he was remain well. He was sure though by the way the pair acted around each other that Luthor was taking good care of Ciaran, a normal thing for those that cared for each other he thought to himself. He felt a momentary, bittersweet feeling at that thought but shoved it aside, not wanting to think on that feeling or the person that caused it.

Turning to head for the door, pausing there for a moment, then headed out with a bit of a smile on his head. He was glad that they were taking good care of each other he thought to himself, it would keep them both safe or so he wanted to believe though he knew that Luthor wouldn't be able to keep Ciaran from hurting himself at all times... that wound on his arm was a testament to that. He could only hope that Ciaran would think long and hard about not just himself but of his baby when the need to do such things arose in him. He closed the door after himself and was soon heading back down to his desk once more.

After he was gone Luthor relaxed a bit, turning his attention to Ciaran, giving him a smile, and pressed a kiss to his cheek, "That's good news isn't it? I hope that it will be soon that he lets you go home, I think it really will be safer for you there." He said, leaning into Ciaran a little, eyes closing for a moment as he enjoyed the closeness and warmth of his lover before asking, "How do you feel? Need a nap?" He hoped he wouldn't annoy him as much as it seemed that Aden had been but he wanted to make sure to that Ciaran got anything and everything he needed.

Ciaran was glad to see Aden leave as he was a good person, but he could only handle that man for so long especially when he started to flirt and was glad that this time he had done none of that. "That is very good news and I hope that it will be soon too. As I want to get out of here and I also don't want worry Sokan anymore than I have too and I do think that you are right as one could never predict what techs think and there for act," Ciaran answered as he murred at the kiss and more when his lover leaned into him and leaned back too as it was so very nice. "I feel slightly nauseated but nothing to worry about, love. Well if I nap want to take one with me?" he asked as he didn't mind if his lover fussed over him so long as it wasn't too much.

He gave a nod of his head, leaning in to give Ciaran a gentle kiss, "We will soon be going where its safe for you and our baby. I know that not everyone in this place is bad, there are good people, but the dangerous ones... they seem to be more commonplace." As such he had to take care of things while they were here so that Ciaran wouldn't have to worry overly over unimportant things, "Yes, a nap would sound nice actually. I don't know why but I have been a bit sleepy lately, maybe all the excitement." He said, snuggling against Ciaran and gave him a smile. He was sure that he would be fine though, not worried at all for himself. All his worry was, instead for his lover.

Closing his eyes as that gentle kiss his lover was giving as he purred and kissed his lover back. "That is good and you also need to be safe too. I believe that you are right on both those points," Ciaran replied as he had yet to meet any other nice ones here beside Aden but he trusted his lover. "That is good as it has been nice having you sleep with me," Ciaran murred as he knew if Aden had heard that statement that teasing would have been a lot. "Who knows maybe its because you want to cuddle with me and yes there has been a lot of excitement," he replied as he was enjoying the snuggling as he then pulled his lover into the bed with him and worried a little that there was nothing wrong with his lover as Ciaran wanted him to be well and to keep him out of Reshmi's grasp forever.

Another Check Up

It was that time again, his rounds, and time to go and check in on his favorite trio of patients! Nothing better then a pair of incredibly good looking spawn to check out that were all curled up together looking cuddly and smoochy he thought to himself, smiling in a happy manner. He was sure if Ciaran had any idea what he was thinking he would get the life shocked out of him... but still, he couldn't wait to see them! He was all but purring by the time that he got to their room, opening it up, "Good morning, Cuties! Did you miss... me...?" He blinked a couple times when he realized one of his cuties was missing. Well that wasn't what he was thinking on he thought to himself before giving a half shrug, oh well there was still one cutie, that was still good enough, right?

Giving a smile he started over toward him, "Hello there, Ciaran. How are you doing? And where did Luthor wander off too?" He asked as he got closer, setting down a small pack he had with him on the night stand before pulling a chair over so that he could sit on it next to the bed that Ciaran was being kept in as often as Aden could get him to sit down and rest these days. Something that was getting tougher to do as the days passed... he could understand though, who really wanted to do nothing but sit around all day?

After telling his lover to what had happened to him with the spider, Ciaran started to have less intense nightmares of his time spent with that demon. Luthor had left a little time earlier to go and get him some thing that had ice cream in it as he had been craving it recently. Once gone even tho he trusted his lover to keep his promise, Ciaran still worried and slightly started to panic as he looked at the stitches in one of his arms as he was longing to itch is as it was getting more and more so as the days passed as he was also getting very bored in this room and often as he could go on walks with Luthor. Making up his mind that he would give it a little scratch and none would be the wiser if he did. Just as he started to give the scar a little scratch as Aden walked in the room as he hastily stopped and tried not to look guilty. "I'm not a cutie!" Ciaran hastily replied back to Aden as he hid his arm behind his back and not to look directly at the Doctor. "Hello Aden, I'm going good," he replied back trying to act casually as he could on any other day Aden did his rounds. "He went off to get me some thing ice cream that he could find," he added as he had to wonder to why Aden had to be so nosy as his tail twitched behind him as he watch the Doctor sit next to the bed in a chair. He was so hoping soon that he could go home as he was getting antsy to do so, as to him he felt fine despite carrying his child and was getting moody towards Aden for keeping him here for so long.

Aden starred for a long time at Ciaran before he held a hand up, making a motion at him, "Let me see it." He said, referring to the arm that Ciaran was now hiding behind himself, almost certain that he had hurt himself... it would be a shame since the stitches were ready to come out any time now he thought to himself as he tried to get a look at the damage. If it were to bad he might have to redo the stitches which would start everything all over again... it really would be a shame, "And you should be looking and sounding joyous my adorable friend, today is a good day! Or at least... it might be." Depending upon what damage had been done that was.

Upon hearing that Luthor had gone to pick up ice cream for his lover the doctor couldn't help but to chuckle, "Is that so? I am glad to hear that he is being so good to you. Its the Father's job after all to wait hand and foot on the mother of their children, or so I gather from the many television shows I watch." He said, giving Ciaran a smile. The spawn looked a touch on the grumpy side but he would chalk that up to the fact that he was pregnant and that came along with mood swings, "You know, you have been pregnant for nearly two weeks now. I think that we should see about making an appointment for you to come in to get a sonogram soon, what do you think? It would allow you to see the baby." He said, giving Ciaran a smile, hoping to perk him up a bit with good news.

Tail swishing back and forth in a slightly nervous twitching as he was starred at by the Doctor and was a little reluctant to give his arm up as he keep it behind him for the time being as he was being stubborn. "I'm not adorable!!" he answered as his feathers fluffed out in his frustration. "I didn't do much as it itches so very fiercely," he said quickly as he flailed the arm in his frustrations on how much he wanted to itch it. As he was happy to hear to be going home as that is what he thought that Aden was indicated in what he said was a good day. Snorting slightly as he gave his arm up to Aden as he has just started to scratch it to make the itching stop and frowned at the Doctor and hoping that it wasn't bad and if it might be as he didn't think so that he just would go home without Aden's approval.

"Yes he is and no he shouldn't wait hand and foot on me as I can take care of my self just fine," he replied to Aden as he didn't know what type of tv shows he had watched to get that information. "I know that," he grumped as why state what was already known he wondered. "And what makes you think that I will come back once I get out of here?" Ciaran stated as this was the last place he wanted to come back, but he was curious about the sonogram to seeing his child before it was born and starred at Aden for a little in debating with himself on not wanting to come back. "Maybe I might, so long if I don't have to stay long," he said after his thinking as he did want to see as he did look curious about it despite his grumpiness.

Ever careful and gentle Aden took the arm in his hands, looking it over closely before he gave a little nod of his head, "Yes, I see that you were trying to itch at it a little." He said, inspecting it for a moment before touching the edge of it gently with his thumb, pressing against the area before nodding, "Its looking good, healed up well, and I even think I can take the stitches out now. Its just itching because its healing. Its unpleasant but if you can ignore it a little long I think you will be alright." He told him, "Now, keep your arm held out, I will get my gloves and some surgical scissors and I will see about ridding you of those bothersome stitches, sound good?" He asked of him, seeing the glimmer of home when it came to perking the grouchy spawn up.

Ciaran watched as Aden looked his arm over as his tail flicked as he just wanted relieve from the itching it created. Listening to what the Doctor has said about it itched because it was healing and to the fact that he would get the stitches out meaning that he could go home and that improved Ciaran mood greatly as its one thing that he wanted to do besides being with his lover. "That is good," he replied as his tail gave a little wag as he had started to be happy to leave and maybe come back as there were only a few things he would come back to the Labs for or he would have to be knocked out cold to come back. " Yes that sounds good and I can do that," he replied as he kept his hand held out for Aden as he waited and couldn't wait to tell Luthor that he would be free to leave the labs and to go back home, that he smile a little.

Aden went through and carefully removed the stitches from Ciaran's wound, looking it over once it was free of al of them before he looked up at him, "Its going to scar, though I am sure one more added to your many scars won't mean a lot to you... though I do want you to be careful, alright? The scars you have... say here." He tapped one of the large ones that ran along Ciaran's stomach and up his chest, "The scar tissue here is different from normal skin you understand, I worry a little about it stretching along with the rest of your stomach as your child grows. If it bothers you at all, even in the slightest, and yes I know pain is something you have a great tolerance for, I need you to tell me. Alright? I am not sure how your body and your scars will react to your baby belly and we would rather be safe then sorry, right?" He gave Ciaran a smile then sat back in his chair, relinquishing his hold on the spawn's arm.

"Now for the daily questions, have you taken your vitamins and are you able to keep food down better yet?" He asked, things he asked often but knew they were important so he hoped that Ciaran would bare with him, "And liquid,are you drinking enough? I want you to be well hydrated."

Ciaran was much more happier to see the last of the stitches removed as it did feel a little better now that they were gone. Hearing what Aden had said that it would leave a scar as that never really mattered to him since he already had so many and some on top of other scars, but he did hope that the last remaining chew marks would go away or he just might have to correct that problem as he didn't want a constant reminder of that time. "I will try and to be careful," he said as he couldn't make any promises not to get hurt anymore as one never knew what the future brought. "I understand that," he answered as he watched Aden tap one of his larger scars as he didn't know that they might interfere with his baby growing and hope that it would be just fine and Aden was worrying too much over nothing. "Don't worry, Aden," he sighed as he didn't want to have Aden worry over him as he just enjoyed the pain as it was a pleasure to him and would keep what Aden said in mind as he didn't want to have there baby harmed as he really only did that to himself. "Right, I will say something if it bugs me in the slightest," he added as he smiled as he took back his arm and gave it a look over and touched it lightly to feel it.

Ciaran rolled his eyes and sighed as he would be glad to have these questions to be done with for a while as he knew when he came to see Aden he would ask these same questions of him. "Yes I have taken them when I get up in the morning and yes I have gotten better at keeping food down," Ciaran answered as he knew they were such repetitive questions but just answered them to keep the Doctor happy. "Yes I am," he added as he pointed to his water bottle as it was half empty of water that he had been drinking much of it. Tho he would be glad to drink other things besides water all the time as he wanted to also drink one of his favorite juice mixes that weren't here in the Labs.

"Good, I am glad to hear that your able to keep your food down better." He said, giving Ciaran a smile then looked him over closely, "Its a curious thing, some of the spawn parents have carried their children for a short amount of time, only a couple months while another carried the child for much longer, closer to five if I recall right. As such we want to keep close tabs on you. I know that you don't want to come in terribly often but maybe if you could call in from time to time so we can talk? And then of course the appointment when you come in for a sonogram we will do a more in depth examine." He told him, then reached over to the back and took something out, "Now this, this will be fun! But... we are going to wait a little longer. We want Luthor to be here for this one, alright?" He said as he set the device aside and looked toward the door.

It was a good ten minutes of Aden leaving Ciaran to wonder what was up before Luthor appeared, ice cream in hand, "They actually had real ice cream this time, Ciaran! I got a couple bowls of it since it looked really good." He had seen it and decided that he really wanted some too! As he walked in he noticed both that Aden was here and that he was looking rather... happy about something. It was a curious thing, making him wonder what it was that he was thinking about. He could only guess and really he didn't quite want to guess since it was likely perverse. Going to sit on the edge of the bed he held out one of the bowls and spoons to Ciaran, "Here you go!"

Tho he did have to wonder a little to why he was glad that he was keeping his food down and hope that it was just a purely medical reason he concluded. "That is interesting," he said as he did have to think on how long he was going to carry there child as he didn't care how long so long as the child was healthy as he could handle what could happen as it would be a fun experience. Thinking a little to what Aden had to say as it wouldn't be so bad to call in every now and then. "Well I guess that I can do that. But what would these in depth examines be?" he asked as he didn't know if he would trust Aden to keep his out of the gutter and not tease the both of them over something. "What do you have there?" Ciaran asked curiously as he did want to know what it is and just got a little frustrated when Aden didn't him right then. As he waited for Luthor to come back with the ice cream as that sound much better too.

Ciaran's tail had twitch more as he was wondering to what Aden had brought with him. He perked up when his lover show back up and with ice cream. "Ya!" he replied to Luthor as his tail started to wag as he sorta forgotten his grumpiness at the sight of his lover and the ice cream. "That is very cool and thank you for bring it, love," he added as he took the ice cream from Luthor as he sat down on the bed next to him. Taking a few bites of his ice cream before he turned back to Aden. "Ok spill it what do you have there Aden," Ciaran asked as he really now wanted to know what the Doctor had brought in.

Luthor looked over at what Aden was holding when Ciaran asked him what it was that he had and he found himself curious as well, never having seen something like it before now, "Yeah... what is that?" He asked, taking a couple bites of ice cream as Aden set to turning the thing on and detached a part of it. It was a strange thing, a machine of some sort, as to the use he couldn't begin to fathom what it might be really...

"Alright, I will ask that you lay back for a moment Ciaran and relax, I promise that it will be worth it. I also promise that there is NOTHING pervy involved this time around when I am asking you such a thing. In fact its really something that I think you will enjoy as opposed to me flirting with the two of you adorable spawn." He said, looking to Luthor, "If you could hold his ice cream if he needs the help." He might though he didn't think that Ciaran to was to tired or big to both hold onto his treat and move around.

Ciaran watched Aden turn on what he had brought and detach part of it and had to wonder what it was as it was something that he had never seen and wanted to know what it was and used for. Hearing what the Doctor had said Ciaran did glare at him for a little as he was skeptical that this wasn't going to be something pervy. "Well you better not as I will give you a face full of feathers if you do," Ciaran warned as he ignored Aden saying that he was adorable as had never thought he was. Taking another bite of his ice cream before curiosity got the better of him as he carefully still holding on to his ice cream as he laid back as Aden wanted him to as he did now and make sure that his tail was visible and swishing back as he was wanted to know what Aden was up to.

"Alright, ready?" He asked as he set the main part of the item on the bed and then pressed the other part to Ciaran's belly, searching around for a moment before he found what he was looking for, "There we are." He murmured, looking up at Ciaran and Luthor as the sound came from the main box, the fluttering sound of their child's heartbeat. His lips turned up into a bit of a smile, "Its a nice sound, isn't it?" He asked of the pair.

Even as he was speaking Luthor was up on his feet, starring at the item that was giving off that sound with wide eyes before turning to look at Ciaran's belly, then back again, "Ahh.. Ahh... its... W-Wow!" He gasped out, wings fluttering behind him at a rapid pace, looking completely surprised and in awe of the sound. It was so soft but it was such a momentousness thing... the sound of their baby's heart. He lifted a hand to rub it against his eyes, looking a bit embarrassed as he found himself tearing up over the sound.

Giving Aden another look as he wanted to know what it was and just hoped that what the Doctor said was true. "Yes I'm ready," he said a little anxious to know and tried to stay relaxed. Intently watching to what the Doctor was doing as it was interesting, but once hearing the sound that came from the box made Ciaran's ears perk up and his tail wagging at hearing there babies heart beating. "That it is!" Ciaran said excitedly as it was a nice sound to hear as it just make him so excited so very happy. It was just another reality check that he was really going to have his lover's child and he was happy for the baby and for his lover as he looked to Luthor and he was crying a little as well as he was happy and didn't care what Aden thought.

Aden gave a smile as he watched the pair and their reactions, allowing them to listen for a time longer before speaking, "Its a good, strong heartbeat, it sounds healthy from what I hear as well." He told them, moving the device around for a moment, across Ciaran's stomach a few times, seeming to be checking for something before giving a nod as he returned it to where the baby was resting to let them hear again, "I would hazard a guess in saying there is just one baby, we will know for certain though when we do the sonogram." He told them pair, not having heard a second heartbeat which meant he was pretty sure that there was only the one baby that Ciaran was carrying.

Ciaran was glad to hear that there child hearts beat was strong and healthy from all that his own body had to recover from as well. He did wonder to what Aden was looking for when he moved the device around as it was a weird feeling having the device moved over his stomach as Aden searched. Ciaran was a little sad that there was only one baby as he thought that it would be funny if there had been two but he did wish for one and he was very happy for the one as he couldn't wait to see there child develop more and then to finally come into the world. He kept on smiling when he heard the heartbeat for a second time as it was a good sound and one he shared with his lover as it was there child. "So just how soon do you want me in for that sonogram," he asked as he didn't want it to be soon as he wanted to be free of this place for a little time and have true alone time with his lover and to also talk with Sokan when the fish man came back home.

Aden seemed to think on it for a moment, looking thoughtful before saying, "Given the way your developing and the changes thus far... I would say in about two more weeks you should come in. Until then I think that your free to go home so long as you think your ready?" As though Ciaran would say no to that he thought to himself with a bit of a grin. In fact he wouldn't be surprised if he got up and ran from the hospital ward... though he would prefer if he didn't run since a nice, calm pace would likely be better for him.

Luthor's eyes got a bit wide at the announcement and then his lips turned up into a smile, "He can go home? Good, good." He murmured, wanting nothing more then to get Ciaran home, back to where he was the most safe, to where Sokan could help to tend to him. It would be the best place for him and certainly much better then here, "Thank you Aden, for everything really." Mostly keeping their secret but for tending to Ciaran as well he was very grateful.

Aden gave a grin as he got up to his feet, packing his things away, "I'm getting thanks, huh? How about a thank you kiss instead?" He asked, grinning as Luthor gave him a rather stormy glare, something that merely made him laugh in amusement, "Glaring doesn't suit you, I think those cute, happy tears did better." Words that made Luthor go from glaring to blushing in a snap... then to ignoring Aden, his attention going instead to his lover.

Taking a mental note to when Aden wanted him back to make sure everything was going well and it might be a little soon to come back to what Ciaran thought so he thought that he wouldn't promptly come back in two weeks but around that time. "YA! I'm so ready to go home," he replied as he got more excited as that meant that he wouldn't be bored any longer and didn't have to have Aden check up on him all the time or have to deal with his flirting too with those visits. Ciaran smiled up to his lover as that was good news too as to hearing there babies heartbeat. "Yes thanks you Aden and I will try to be good," he said as he wasn't going to make promises as he would try to be good. Ciaran did have to giggle as Aden was total denied his kiss as he reached over to take Luthor's hand and gave Luthor a kiss on the cheek. "Lets head of before Aden gets anymore ideas. As we also need to see your dad too before we leave too," he said as he remembered that Almas wanted for them to see him before leaving as he smiled more with his tail wagging a today had been a very good day.

The Doctor watched as the pair fled the room before he gave a bit of a pout, "Well! I guess its about time that I get to cleaning this room up for the next patient." He said, gathering his things and headed for the door, pausing at the phone to call one of the techs to give him the order to clean the room. He had better things to do now that his favorite patients had moved on... like a smoke and a nap... or maybe he would get a smoke then track down Krijio? He knew that the cute geneticist would give him a kiss at least he thought to himself, grinning again as he moved to do just that.

Meeting Kishan

~ Reserved Post

It Never Goes Well, Does It?

It was something that he wanted to put off... but at the same time knew he had to do and soon, before word got to the guy via other means. He could only keep it secret for so long given that Ciaran would need to give birth to their child one day... that wouldn't be the best time for the news to come out. Oh and here is our child, he was born last time... shaking his head he started down the hall to the guy's office, having been there... more times then he could recall for various reasons from arguments to questions to... more arguments. That seemed to be what they did the most of, never getting along, always butting heads over... everything. He was almost sure they would argue over the color of the sky if the topic came up. Regardless this was something he knew that he had to do, him and nobody else.

He paused before the door, able to feel the crackling of his own magic around his body, something that made his wings fluff up a bit as well as made his hair stand a little on end before he shook his head and stepped inside. He knew the guy was here just by the reaction of his magic alone and after taking a breath he greeted him, "Afternoon, Vampy." As though he would call him anything else.

This was a lot like every day, he was looking forward towards the tea and cookies that Almas had gone out to get, he had expected it to be Almas already back but the crackling of his own magic made his illusion waver and he sighed...even more he rolled his eyes at being addressed in such a manner by his..'son'.

"What is it you..." He started before he stared at the weight his son had managed to gain, he let out an audible sigh and rubbed his temples. Disgrace...that was what he was... a disgrace.

"Well? Come in and close the door...you know my magic can't work properly with you here." He snapped.

Luthor noticed the look he got, glanced down, then gave Vampy a bit of a look before he closed the door behind himself and locked it, "Yes, it would be a bit of a shame if anyone saw you like that." Imagine what they would think seeing Vampy, their big bad Boss, looking like something from a little girl's journal. He walked over and stand in front of the desk, hesitated a moment, then sat down, "I needed to talk with you about something... serious, its the only reason I would be taking up any of your precious time." He said, teeth slightly gritted.

He had have swiveled his chair so that he didn't have to look at Luthor but at his words he stopped himself and actually looked surprised. Serious? Unless it involved Luthor suddenly deciding he wanted to join him in his business he couldn't fathom what could be so 'serious'.
"Your not joining Elexstra are you?" He asked his tone sounding as if he would nuke his own son if he had joined forces with his rather annoying sister.

"Join Auntie in what?" He asked, looking a touch confused before shaking his head, "I can't say I am going anywhere with her, no." That was odd, why was it he thought that straight away? Likely because Luthor liked the woman but not him and because the two siblings got along as well as a cats in a gym bag. He shook his head, "No, nothing like that... though I might be moving out soon as a result of what is going on, not to join her but to live with Ciaran." He would need to talk with Almas and Pepper first though before he did so.

Vampy looked to him, a vague expression of relief on his face before he scowled again, after all he didn't like the idea of having Luthor out of the facility. Though it would make it easier for him...at the same time he didn't want him anywhere he couldn't keep an eye on him.

"You'll break Almas's heart.....as Peppers." He stated simply as if it was a matter of fact. "Rather Almas will be broken and well you know Pepper...he'll probably be angry."

"I will talk to them before I go but as it is the situation at hand is one... I believe they will understand, I already mentioned it to Dad and he does understand especially given that Ciaran isn't a big fan of this place." Not that Luthor could say that he was himself. His wings opened up, gave a flutter, then closed again as he thought on it, "Pepper, he will be angry but at the same time I think he will understand as well but that is neither here nor there, its you I wanted to talk to because its you that I most worry about in this instance."

One hand went to the desk and began to drum on it as if his patience was running out. He raised an eyebrow at the last comment, as it sounded as if Luthor was actually afraid of him. He found that hard to believe.

"So you came to ask for my blessing? That you are leaving this place? I am surprised you want my approval...after all ...every other thing you have done you seem to do to irk me." It was obvious he was not impressed or at all eager to continue this conversation. "My main concern is what you do with your magic...as with each generation we are suppose to teach our children...your reluctance to learn means I cannot trust you. Though Trust is a rather foreign words for demons isn't it?" He snickered as his tail swished back and forth in his annoyed manner.

"I don't seek a blessing from you, why would I? You couldn't care less what I am doing with my time or if I am here or not, you never have." He said, finding it almost amusing that the guy seemed to think he wanted something like that from him now. It was far to late for any of that, "No, its more like I want... how to put this delicately, I want you to continue to do exactly that, to do whatever you can not to look toward my family." He didn't want Vampy anywhere near his children, the idea that the guy wanted nothing to do with him other then to yell at him his whole life and look on disapprovingly made him dislike the idea that he might glance at their child.

He took in a deep breath to calm himself, "My magic is fine, I have been honing it, and using it well. Not only that but I have found the source of my power which is a bit different then yours." He told him, then shook his head, "Again, neither here nor there. All I want is to know that your not going to bother us. You didn't want me, that is more then obvious and I don't want you to suddenly decide that it might be fun to play Granddad."

"Yes...yes I've seen how your experiments have ..worked. I have one male who is now a woman, a man who was able to have two children but no natural means...and I hardly want to see what else you've been doing behind my back." He snapped his hands stopping the drumming to suddenly slam on the table. "If you knew half of what I know about our family line you'd understand why I look on so disapprovingly.." His voice had grown loud, he was at the end of his patience...though slowly with a deep breath he cooled off and faced his 'son'. "Any children you may or may not have I will meet. Do not fool yourself into thinking I'll idle stand by and let you spawn more of our kind, weaker half breeds or not...I will be there to ensure they don't pull the same mistakes you did."

"Yes, a terrible thing using my magic to make someone happy. I highly doubt you would know what that would be like, all yours is good for is making you happy." He said, eyes narrowing a bit as what he did was insulted. Those he had helped thus far were happy with what he'd done for them, "I am sure your just pissed that they didn't come to you... but then again who would? Your like the damn bogey man in this place." Nobody liked him or trusted him other then Almas... as to why he would never understand...

Luthor was on his feet in an instant, hands slamming down on the desk, "I swear that if you come anywhere near my child I don't care what I need to do or pay you will regret it." He spat out, it wasn't as though he'd thought that it might go well... it never did but he had hoped that Vampy wouldn't give a care about them just as he didn't care about him. It was wishful thinking on his part, "Stay away from Ciaran and away from my child Vampy, I mean it."

There was a pause. it was as if he wasn't sure if he should be enraged, surprised or laugh maniacally. Instead there was an uncomfortable moment were the smell of cinnamon filled the room slowly like sleeping gas seeping into the room.

"Oh...how rich. You used your magic to give yourself a child..." He started snarkily, "For how high and mighty you pull off you just want to use your magic for your own means. I hope you don't kill your magic that way...its not how our magic works. Oh did I ruin the illusion?" He stated as he stood up slowly he was keeping himself reigned in, after al if he unleashed his aura he would only prove to Luthor he was angry as well alert every other creature here something was lurking.

"So your having a child...well then...now I can only be involved. Do you think you can just...disappear? I am sure Almas will only be too pleased with the knowledge of being a grandfather..." His snarkily happy tone was snide, "Now...tell me...are you going to wish your lover to deliver this baby safely? Or...are you going to do it yourself? Are you going to a human doctor? One who will have no inkling of how to treat demons or angels never mind half breeds...? Never mind...I mean how silly of me...of course you must of thought all this out. " It was sarcasm..not something he used a lot but it suited this time.

Luthor gritted his teeth, "You know nothing about what brought it about and no, I am not having a child, your just assuming things. As for killing my magic, no." He knew that well enough, it had manifested a couple of times already before Ciaran, seeming to be as interested in everything as the parents were. The little dragon, what it was when it came forth into a form of its own, had appeared recently even so he highly doubted that it was in danger, he would know as much since it was his magic... he shook it off, Vampy was just screwing with him now.

"No, you can't be involved." He said, getting frustrated now, "That isn't why I can here, I just wanted you to be aware so you didn't learn from anyone else." Damn it, why was the guy pretending to care now? Likely only because he felt like pissing him off... there was no other reason for it. Its not like Vampy were a family man or anything.

"We have already been to a doctor on a few occasions now, the one that is supposed to take care of the spawn or perhaps you have forgotten about that? It wouldn't be the first child he's delivered in such a manner. As for thinking it all over yes. Strange thing, huh? Thinking about your child. I know its nothing you waste your time on but other parents do. Crazy, huh?" He gave a snort then fluttered his wings in a displeased manner, before shaking his head, "I don't know why I bothered, I knew it would be an argument, it always is with you."

Vampy only threw up a hand as if all the words that Luthor just spat out were deflected with the palm of his hand. "It was Almas who wanted you...and he made a trade for you to exist. I never wanted children... I didn't want the risk of our magic spreading, mixed and weakening...what if the magic passes to your child? What if it is too weak to support him or her? I don't suppose you care...whether they have the bond or not. And I will be apart of its life...why? To keep an eye on you." It seemed as if this conversation was not going to go anywhere, in fact if Almas was to enter the room right now the smell of cinnamon would be intense.

"I almost hope that they don't have such magic." He said, glancing toward the door for a moment before gave a motion of his hand before moved toward it, "I don't want your to be a part of anything, if I so need any help I would rather get a hand from Auntie." She was the one who first showed him how his magic worked after all whereas Vampy just left him in the dark... not that he'd of trusted the man back then, he was terrified of him. His wings fluttered again, "I don't want you keeping an eye on anything, just go back to... whatever it is you do here." He said, reaching out for the doorknob, wanting nothing more then to leave the office, leave Vampy, and if he were lucky find his brother.

There was no retort...only silence as if he was too tired to keep fighting he put his hand lightly on the table and looked to Luthor. There was something in his expression that if Luthor caught it he would be taken aback, it seemed tired, broken and genuinely concerned.

"Luthor...please....Elexstra is more devious than you know. You cannot trust her." Even the tone in his voice had a smidgen of pleading in it. If Elexstra managed to recruit Luthor onto her side...

Luthor gritted his teeth, reached for the knob, then sighed before turning to look over at the guy wondering if this was another trick... the look on his face though, it was almost believable though it was hard to do. He sighed, wanting to thump his head against the door... but knew his horn would likely get stuck then, "Auntie has been nothing but kind to me since I can remember, its hard to take your word that she is untrustworthy." Of all the people in the world Vampy trying to convince him was what made it harder then if anyone else in the world had said it... he just hard a hard time in believing the guy, "If it will make you feel better I will be cautious. At the moment I want only what is best for my family, I always have." Always he wanted to look after Almas and Pepper, his family had just grown to include Ciaran and the baby now, and he wanted to look after them as well, do all he could for them.

Vampy didn't reply, after all in regards to family there was nothing he really knew about wanting a family, or anything in regards to love in that sense. If he was to know that it was a twisted sense of ownership for Almas that he rescued him. That as time passed he was weakening... and unable to get the revenge he sought against the ones who harmed Almas. And that...he was finding feelings he hadn't acknowledged before.

He starred at the man for a long moment before unlocking the door, "I am going." he said, wings puffing up, gave a flutter, and he headed out to give the other man his space as well as the ability to take on his guise again which he was sure Vampy wanted back. The moment he was outside he lifted a hand to rub his temples, feeling a touch like he wanted to collapse... that or go and curl up for a while and nap... he would do his best not to do the former at the moment, wanting first to find his brother. Maybe he could get a nap with him? They used to do that a lot he though to himself, trying to push aside his weariness as he went in search of Pepper, hoping that he was around as he didn't know if he wanted to come back to the Labs again any time soon. That argument had been worse then normal and it might be best if he and Vampy had space between them.
