Rebirth (Patrick)

[Kazumi O'Connor]

She would sigh softly, feeling a dull throb in her head. She knew where Nyx came from and she knew that nothing on Earth was going to get rid of her unless Aiden was able to fight off his own personal demon. Not something that came so easily to the twins. Nope, not at all. However, she did not say anything because she did not want to draw any attention, any unwarranted attention, toward her brother. He had spent his whole life protecting her and she would return the favor for as long as she could.

Still, when he told her that he would be okay, she would furrow her brow slightly and shake her head. "And what happens if I get into trouble but you are too weak to be able to help me?" A little sigh given as her hand would leave her stomach and lightly brush against his cheek, leaving his hand to rest upon her stomach for now. "You are just as important as we are. You know this." A little nod as if to say she was standing her ground on this issue. She wasn't going to bleed him out, not happening.

Then the conversation turned to what she had said in the truck and to be honest, it made her blush rather deeply as she bit down onto her lower lip and turned her eyes away. She had not been planning on saying that out loud any time soon. Not because she didn't feel that way, but because she had not thought that he did. But as he said that he did, memories of his words in the hospital came back and her eyes once more turned toward him. "R..Really?"

She wasn't sure what to make of it all. It wasn't like she didn't want to, but she knew that he had never been the type to strike her as the marrying, settling down (in that manner) type family guy. Not that she didn't think he was capable of it. Just yeah.....

Patrick stopped to think at her return question. She brought up a really valid point. One that struck Patrick particularly close to home. Giving all of that blood up would likely weaken him. At least the amount of blood he was suggesting probably would. However at the moment he really saw no other option. If she listened to this "Nyx", she'd likely be doing things that would put her in danger, if she gave control over, or it was wrenched from her. On the other hand, if she tried to fight Nyx, something like this might happen again. While it seemed unlikely that Nyx would kill her, based on Phee and Feht, this wasn't a good option for her or the baby either. She had a convincing argument, and her last little comment told Patrick that she was going to stand her ground on this one. But Patrick sighed, "I really don't see any other option on this one love. I know I might get to weak to be able to help ye, but this only looks like it'll keep happening if we don't try. If we let this slide by the wayside Nyx might take this opportunity to become even stronger and try and repeat Feht's plan of taking over. And while Nyx is in control she looks like she will do bad things. Things that will probably put ye and the baby in danger. I know my option isn't the best option, but it looks like the only real one we have."

"We either chance it on this, and hope ye don't need me to save ye, or it looks like the definite risk to ye and the baby. To me, right now, that seems like the best option," Patrick said with a sigh. He really didn't want to fight with Kazumi, that much was evident, but he was putting his foot down too. At least until they thought of another option.

Then things seemed to shift focus a bit. To their conversation in the truck. He couldn't help but smiling lovingly at that blush, he thought it was the most beautiful thing in the world. Their conversation in the truch where Patrick had told her that he wanted nothing more then to settle down and get married. Patrick couldn't help but smile and chuckle as she asked him that question, "Ye basically asked the same thing earlier. And my answer's still the same. Yeah, I really do."

And that was God's honest truth...

She would furrow her brow slightly as he seemed to be putting his foot down too on the matter. Usually, on most things, she would back down and listen to him, if for no other reason than she thought that he was usually right about most things. But, this time she was not ready to start just giving in right away. She hated the idea of making him weak, not so much because she was scared he couldn't protect her, she could just have security upped outside the house and at school if she really had to.

No, it was the thought of IF something happened to her, and he couldn't stop it, he would never, ever forgive himself for it and she didn't want to think of what that would do to him, especially if it cost her her life or the life of the child that was growing inside of her. However, tonight was not the night to be fighting about that, and she knew that. She was still far too weak, and honestly she was far too out of it still to really do much other than sigh with frustration and shake her head. "We will talk about this tomorrow or the next day when I am feeling better. Okay?" She already was trying to work up ways that they could both have their way and not risk either one of them's health, but it was going to be tricky, at best.

Still, she would not go any further on the topic and instead allowed her attention to shift to the conversation that they were having about marriage and the like, her lower lip being bitten as she looked down at her stomach where his hand still rested and thought about his words. It was not that she didn't want these things, she did, more than anything...it was just that she wasn't sure what to make of it all. She wasn't sure if he was doing it because he loved her, or because of the baby.......though deep down she knew it was both, but mostly his love for her. "Well...I would like that too. I...I want to be a real family...I know that we dont need a piece of paper or a ring to tell us that we are...b..but for me...Well...you know." She didn't thinks he had to go into detail about what it would mean to her, because yeah at this point it should have been painfully obvious what all aspect of being "family" meant to her.
