Love of the Damned (Part 8)

*Leon is doing sketches for new designs, feeling abit dizzy, unable to focus*

Damien: *notices n crawls to him* Nyu?

Hey Damien. *picks his nephew up* How are you and at this late hour?

Trisha: *is napping her crib, sucking on her thumb*

Damien: ^^ Nyu~! *giggles then gives him a questioning look abt his condition*

Leon: I'm fine...I'm just...*sighs* Don't tell your folks...I'm having another You and Trisha are going to have someone new to play with

Damien: Nyu? *points at Leon's belly*

Leon: *nods* Yes. *lays back, having a small bulge of 3 months on him*

Damien: Nyu~! ^^ *cuddles the bulge*

Leon: OOf, easy there. *notices a reflection* Fiara?

Faira: *smiles knowingly*

Leon: You heard? *turns around in the chair, with little Damien in his lap*

Faira: More or less, frm the part where you said "You're fine"

Leon: How?

Faira: Elementary, my dear Leon *puts down a tray that has cups of hot chocolate* I was abt to bring you your share of hot chocolate and just heard you blab away to Damien, it's no rocket science. Besides, you weren't very much yourself these days in the office. You're always out of focus and moody all the time

Leon: Yea, guess those are symptoms of pregnancy

Faira: Well, I was pregnant, so I can tell

Leon: First of all, I thought I couldn't get pregnant again

Faira: You're a herm, it's not too surprising. Unfortunately Damien will be the only child I'll ever have. The Cradle of Life my friend risked her life to get for me is a one shot thing

Leon: *sighs* If you want, I can be a surrogate for you and Thil

Faira: *surprised for a while then shook his head* No, I don't want you to go through that. I've seen many surrogates end up heartbroken once the couple takes the child away

Leon: Hey, I've been through a lot in my life..I'd do anything for a friend.

Faira: I don't want that to you

Leon: It takes a lot to make me heartbroken. what I can do is make a potion, with a drop of blood from you and Thilius...so it can be 100% your child *shows Fiara the potion's ingredients* It's simple

Faira: *looks at the ingredients, feeling very tempted but looks away* No thanks

Leon: You don't want me in pain

Faira: *shakes his head* That's not what I meant

Leon: What if you do want another one...what would Thilius say?

Faira: *whispers in a possessive jealous tone* If anyone is going to carry Thili's child...it's gonna be me *walks away, blinking bk tears*

Leon: Fiara...it doesn't have to be me...Read it more througholy. It can to whoever drinks it

Faira: *stops at his tracks for a while, back facing him* You...You mean...

Leon: Yes

Faira: *turns bk to him and hugs him, sobbing* You have no idea how much this means to me...

Leon: Go ahead and tell him. Oh! *hands him damien* Here

Faira: Thank you. *takes the young one back to his crib and heads back to the bedroom*

*Leon goes to his bedroom, where his husband is waiting*

Thilius: *sees Faira coming in* Well, someone's in a good mood *kisses Damien* Hey there, kiddo

Faira: Leon just revealed me something that'll help us have another

Thilius: Huh? What are you talking abt?

Fiara: Leon has a potion that help me have another child

Thilius: *raise an eyebrow* And your point being...?

Fiara: Well, i got the idea from Leon. He's having another

Thilius: And you thought you'd jump into the bandwagon

Fiara: Well...*blushes* Yes

Thilius: *looks away* No

Fiara: Why not?

Thilius: No. Just no.

Fiara: *lays down, facing away from Thillius, a couple tears running down his face*

*meanwhile, in the bedroom opposite..*

Elijah: Hey darling, everything alright?

Leon: Yea I'm good. *he discards his shirt, showing off his figure, with his belly bulging out*

Eli: Does the guys knw we're gonna be parents again?

Leon: Only Fiara knows so far

Eli: Poor guy. I heard frm Thili they can only have Damien. Something abt a one-shot deal

Leon: But I have that potion I found

Eli: Where'd you get that?

Leon: I found it in a book my mother had long ago

Eli: Reli? How does it work?

Leon: A couple ingredients and two drops of blood

Eli: That's great news. Did you tell it to Fai abt it?

Leon: HE wants to do it

Eli: What about Thili?

Leon: We don't know yet

*As Leon said it, Thili was walking out of the room getting a smoke*

Leon: *gets out of bed and goes to check ouside*Thil?

Thili: *looks sideways at Leon* Yo *takes a drag frm his cig*

Leon: What's the matter?

Thili: Nothing

Leon: You don't fool me

Thili: *sighs* Fai thought it would be fun to jump into the bandwagon after seeing you get knocked up

Leon: I was hoping you two would want one...something tells me he's been longing this before he saw me

Thili: Yeah well just because he wants it doesn't mean he always gets it. One brat is enough

Leon: Thillius...you know what you just said?!

Thili: You heard what I said. one brat is enough. I dont need another

Leon: *punches him hard enough to send him flying through a wall. Even though he's a halfbreed, Leon's pretty strong* You called your own son a brat, meaning you don't care

Thili: *holds his cheek* Fucking son of a bitch! You asshole! What was that for?!

Leon: You don't care about Fiara's feelings, you bastard!

*everyone comes chking out what's going on, but Leon n Thili were too into the fight to notice*

Thili: Who says I don't care abt his feelings?! I just don't want another, that's all! Is that so hard to ask??

Fiara: W-what? Thillius how could you...

Thili: Just because you're knocked up, Leon, doesn't mean we have to follow after you! You think we've got nothing to do but make babies all day?! I got a life, you know

Eli: Damn, Thili...

Fiara: Why Thill....give one good reason...

Thili: Do I have to explain myself everytime I decide to do something?! I don't want another kid and that's final!

Fiara: *starts cry and runs into the bedroom, locking the door*

Leon: Nice going, asshole

Eli: Yeah, jackass. For all you knw, Fai could've wanted to give you another child like forever ago! And you blew it...

Thili: *snaps* DO YOU KNW WAT A SECOND PREGNANCY WOULD DO TO FAI?! I'VE ALMOST LOST HIM ONCE WHEN HE WAS PREGNANT WITH DAMIEN AND I'M NOT GONNA LOSE HIM AGAIN!! DO YOU WANT HIM TO GET KILLED?!

*all things breakable broke at his loud shout*

*during the shouting, all the glass shattered. During it, Leon shielded Eli from the glass, the glass cutting himself instead of his husband*

Eli: *shocked at all the cuts Leon got* Le..Leon!! Leon!!! You OK?!

Leon: I'm...I'm fine

Fiara: *comes out* Leon!! *goes to him* What happened?

Eli: Your husband's being an ass and throws a tantrum, getting my darling hurt

Fiara: *looks to Thillius, a bit upset at what he has done*

Thili: You forced me into this! Why must everyone be against me?! Isn't being a demon n getting blamed for everything that goes wrong enough?! I just want to save Faira's life! I just don't want Fai to die just like he did wen he gave birth to Damien! Is it so hard to ask...?! *breaks down and cries for the first time in a very long while*

Fiara: Hon..*Goes to him and hugs him close*

Thili: *tries to push Fai away in his tears* Sod off, Fai *sobs, but doesn't reli mean what he said*

Fiara: I understand how you feel...It's just that....

Thili: Just what...? That I'm so incompetent that I can't evn give you what you need the most...?

Fiara: I was jealous of Leon

Thili: Huh?

Fiara: Well, he's half angel, half human...I was jealous of that...

Eli: I thought angels are all goody-two-shoes, incapable of ill-feelings *grin*

Fiara: Well..*blushes*

Thili: *wipes away his tears* You hang out longer with me I'm bound to rub off a lot of negativity on you. Sorry for the stuff. I'll pay the damages

No biggie. *winces a bit, snaps his fingers, everything is restored

Thili: *hugs Faira* Are you sure you want to do this?

Fiara: Yes, I am sure.

Thili: Then I'm OK with it. But if you dare die on me, I... *bit his lip*

Leon: He won't this time...*his wounds healed a bit* This potion is 100% safe-free

Thili: How can you be sure?

Leon: It was how I was concieved...

Fiara: I thought you were conceived naturally

Leon: I thought so too...*shows a diary, that's really old* My mom said she didn't get pregnant after having sex with my father *Shows Thillius and Fiara the diary*

Eli: Oh? What did she say?

Leon: It seems angels can't get human females pregnant through natural means

Thili: Reli? I thought angels and demons can impregnate anybody except their own kind

Leon: Yea, but for some reason, she didn't

Eli: Maybe your mom was barren

Leon: No, the diary says she was

Eli: Then how come she didn't get pregnant through natural means. Thili said they could

Leon: *reads more* Archangels don't have that ability at all

Faira: They dont? That's something new

Leon: Faira's kind of angels can get humans pregnant

Thili: *holds Fai possessively* If Fai knocks up anyone, I'm gonna rip that spawn outta her gut

Fai: Thili~!

Leon: You know he won't. He loves you more than anyone else

Fai: I know that. So what else did your mom wrote?

Leon: *mumbles a bit* She tried the same potion I found...and it worked

Eli: Did she say where did she get the potion from?

Leon: She found it in a spellbook

Fai: Spellbook? Wouldn't that be practicing witchcraft? *a little hesitant*

Leon: Not really. It was a love spellbook

Eli: Wow, didn't think that would exist

Thill: Apparently they do

Eli: Well, it may be safe for humans, would it work on angels?

Fai: We'll just have to find out, shouldn't we?

Leon: It should work. I already got the ingredients mixed...all we need is the two drops of blood

Thili: *using his protruding fang, cuts his own finger and cuts Fai's finger* Bring the stuff here. We've got the blood

*Leon brings out the bottle with the potion in it, allowing the couple to drop the blood drops inside*

Fai: *drips his blood into the bottle, then sucks onto Thili's bleeding finger after he dripped his in*

Leon: *mixes it slowly and carefully* There we go

Fai: So...I'm supposed to drink this?

Leon: Yes. Go ahead and drink

Fai: *Takes it tentatively and drank it all in one gulp* Tastes like Panadol

Leon: Well, let's wait in two weeks and see what happens

Fai: OK

Thili: *smiles as well, but secretly hoping it doesn't work
