Aelius sighed as he walked through his apartment, taking a seat on the sofa. Another night alone in an empty house. The quiet was stifling. He rubbed a hand across his face as another sigh escaped him. This house needed someone else in it. Or maybe it needed someone to live here- not just exist in it between shifts. Well, a romantic relationship probably wasn't going to be happening anytime soon- that was his own fault for not putting himself out there. He bit at his lip as he considered his options. A child might bring some life into this place- might make this feel more like a home. And why not? He loved kids. Why not bring one of his own into this world?
