Side Story - 16 - Sealing The Deal

Santiago's Point Of View

"Ðo you want to take a bath, Syn?" I asked.

He had been so excited to play with Tristan today, only to be halted by his sudden labor. After spending a few hours curled up next to the Omega, we had been kicked out by Ferdinand and the doctors.

Now, he seemed to be spaced out and not exactly, there. I had never had any desire to have children– I was content to serve Sylvester for the rest of my life– if Syn asked me, I wouldn't exactly turn him down, but he had to know I wouldn't exactly be a decent parent.

"Tristan is so strong, isn't he?" He mumbled absently.

"What do you mean?"

"I couldn't do it... The thought of being pregnant and giving birth, is terrifying... Yet even though he was scared, it never showed. Even after having the baby, he was just as happy... He's so incredibly strong... I wish I was strong, too..." He sighed, laying back on the bed.
