Emotions Legend
[quote][b]Asmodeus (Jan 03, 2003 11:09 p.m.):[/b] This final and irrevocable sign of recovery pleased him greatly. "I don't think you're up to what you'd get for that, Kitten," he said with a taunting smile, "but I agree. You should be carried, and so should Jacks, and so there's only one solution." And with that, he placed their son carefully in her arms. Mode loved his wife. He trusted her. But handing Jacks to her and then turning his back for the few seconds necessary to gather the baby's things was one of the hardest things he'd ever done. Kat was loving and loyal and dedicated, without doubt, but gentle was not often in her physical vocabulary. He hadn't realized before the baby was born that he would be so...fragile, and juxtaposing Katera on a bad day with such a tiny little dependent creature was not a pretty thought. But he couldn't raise the child on his own; she had to learn to be gentle, and he had to trust her to learn to be gentle. When he turned around, Kat was holding the baby in a rough imitation of what he'd been doing, close to her chest. She seemed pleased when he snuggled in, and the uncertain delicacy she held him with made Mode ashamed that he'd ever doubted her. He tucked the baby's bag over one shoulder and then lifted his wife and child. The days without food had made her dangerously light, and he determined to stuff her full of food until he had to go back to work in two weeks. Jacks stirred lightly in her arms, but didn't wake again, and Mode kissed her hair. "Let's go home." She nodded assent, and the little family left the infirmary.[/quote]
