During a criminal chase by a truck filled of illegal armament, the scarlet siblings would be swinging with their webs together.
"You go to the other side, i'll get this."
"So heroic lately i guess? Where's your "i am not spider-man" blah blah?"
Kaine grunted quietly by that comment, but he was very focusing on the chase, Ben with a chuckle he would swing to the other side. Now swinging in synchrony in each distance from the truck, where it was trying to be going at maximal velocity, drifting as the wheels were sparking against the hard concrete.
Kaine and Ben looked at each other, with a nod, these would shoot more webs begind the vehicle attaching to a wall, while then the red with black suited man would acelerate his swinging, landing with a backflip and shooging more of the webs infront the vehicle, the red suited with the blue hoodie man joined to help, doing a kind of "shield" for stop the truck.
The driver from the stolen vehicle saw this, and he would turn to the side fast as possible but this caused fall to the side and slide directly at the web, stopping it with success for avoid more disaster. The clones would go to the truck's entry, Kaine kicked the door, destroying it and both stared at the criminal group pointing with their guns at them, the siblings glanced at each other's masked faces, shrugged at the same time and well.
From outside, the truck was moving side and side, hitting and webbing noises for inside as fight was happening, for after few minutes, all done. The police arrived and took the criminals, Ben Reilly looked at Kaine, smiling under the mask he offered his fist, waiting. Kaine looked aswell, but he sighed and looked away, Ben nudged him with the fist, so Kaine grunted and boom, Brother Fist!
"That was easy man, i think you won at least a little piece of the heroic."
"All i just did is help you, dude."
"Sure, says the one who had the idea first on stop them. Now... Hm, we should come back, or maybe you, Marlette is alone, or i mean, double alone? Cause....-"
"That's the most messed up joke i've hear in my entire life, Idiota." [Idiot]
"Oh c'mon is tru- Hey how did you say the spanish idiot like- ah true, hispanic woman, and daughter figure."
"Hey! Uh well i'll take that i am a genius! I guess?"
"Whatever, going to check her now, see you."
Enough, he left swinging off, Ben looked his brother leave, letting go a silent sigh and cross his arms. After few minutes, Marlette would be in the bathroom of the apartament, or better said... a new one, kinda small but is only what they fond, rented, as always. Probably considering as a "Parker Curse" due always ending in a rent.
But anyways, the scarred woman was taking a peaceful bath on the tub, with fresh subtle warm water, silence, just a peaceful moment for her.
Or for also her little miracle. Her belly was more noticeable and rounder, but wasn't big due her size and the muscular body which keeps her belly look just a "small" bump. Kaine arrived to the window, which was opened, when he entered, he took off his mask he sighed, shaking his long hair and looked at the bathroom's door, she's there, he thought. So he shrugged and he would semi call out.
He leaned his back against the wall infront the door, crossing his arms. Marlette opened her eyes as she heard her partner's voice.
"Welcome back. How did you went?"
"Good, doing all the same thing always, just this time i didn't end with broken bones."
"Better that to be honest..."
Kaine nodded, he didn't want open the door, though he was well, rude and whatever, at least he knows the definition of respect, specially when is about his partner.
"So... Are you feeling alright? Did you feel pain or something for the style?"
"Yeah well... Tired lately... Swollen as hell in all senses."
The man as he kept listening her, he frowned slightly in worry, but for inside he wasn't sure how really help her. Just always a struggle but still he would try his only best.
Her voice tone was evident that she was tired, so he clearly understood.
"Okay, i am going to rest meanwhile then."
He left going go their small bedroom, dropping facing down on the bed with a quiet grunt of tired.
"Urgh... I am doing it good? Maybe i doubt."
He lifted his head for look at the wall with a sigh, poor of his mind, he didn't know what to do at these days, and much less know how to be a father.
"Now what? I need find a job? Don't think i'll get it due my nasty face or i look like a criminal... The fuck going to get the enough money for the baby? God why..."
The thoughts started to fill like a flood inside of his brain, until then he heard the door open and see Marlette naked but cocered with the tower, she looked at Kaine with a light confused expression.
"Nothing really... Just well things.... Maybe clone shit..."
"Aha and i am originally from this universe."
She raised up an eyebrow as she felt something is wrong with him.
He sighed and shrugged slowly, he looked at her directly at the eyes.
"I am just... Struggling, and no, not clone shit is just... I don't know what to do now, you are expecting, in some months you'll give birth but i just, how i can find a job? Pay rent? Buy the Baby's things? Keep you? I don't know, new responsabilities that i feel not balanced and-"
"Stop. Listen... Kaine i know you are worried, you think i am not? Of course me too! I never became a mother, and what i can do? Just learn to live and that's it..."
"Well, i am experimenting the same thing, i was never been a father."
Marlette's sigh displayed a small number of frustration.
"Look just... Let's not panic ourselves in this, we did this, and we must take responsability."
"For a small baby, more like a huge responsability."
"Then what if each one we'll go to parenting classes? No need be tangled at this, and much less for a child."
She shrugged as she tried to suggest, Kaine was about to say something that wouldn't really like her hear it, so he remainded silence.
". . . You're right... The question is the money..."
Marlette took a nightgown that she found, putting it on and then slowly laid down on the bed with a grunt.
She sighed, as she heard the problem from Kaine.
"Then you need solve that. Good thing we found this apartment and we have a month for pay it."
At least, that calmed Kaine a bit down. Find a job for Kaine was something he struggled a lot, appearance that he looks like a criminal with that size, body and scars? Possibly, aswell with his... Mood. But he had to do it or else he cannot keep living like that, much less with a... Multiuniversal child.
His eyes stared at the belly from the woman, his mind full of thoughts trying his best for find solutions, but he struggled, his mentality was a tiny bit... Limited at these terms. He laid down next her and placed his hand on her belly, frowning lightly.
"I am not sure if i'll be a good father."
"I think you will, just give yourself time and... Well i think it was time for me have a child, i am not going to lie. I wanted a child few years ago but... I was very hopeless about the love and such, the one who really wanted me have a child was my father."
"Your father? So you want a kid just because him?"
"I mean, sort of. Before i met you i had or well... Have a small weakness on children, and before my father told me that he would love have his grandson or granddaughter. For keep that promise for him... I decided have the kid but obviously for of course with the man i love and have the responsability aswell."
". . . Might sound rude but..."
He cleared his throat a bit.
"So i assume you... Liked this kind of "accident"...?"
Marlette looked at his eyes as she heard that questioned comment, Kaine from the shame looked away.
"A-argh sorry i- Look, i know you love this child i... Damn it i am sorry i just, i don't know about kids really so-"
"So we'll learn together, me either but we have."
She kissed his cheek, Kaine blushed a bit, his tension faded away as he recieved that gentle kiss from her lips. He closed his eyes, slowly snuggling for feel her natural warmth, he felt a subtle wave of peace, hand caressing her bump.
"Maybe i'll try my best."
"That maybe turn into an I'll be the best."
She corrected him, letting him know about his struggling behavior at this. So she nuzzled him who sighed and nuzzled her back.
"If you say so. Then... Maybe this little one will be a mini... You? Or me? I don't know our genetics can be complicated."
"Not really, who knows? Most important he would be healthy. And i am sure he is, because i then surely i would be already feeling bad in health if not."
He kept caressing her bump, fingers feeling her skin, feeling the round-ish shaped belly. His heart felt warm, he was tough but for inside he was feeling a familiar peace, a peace that she should possible need, after years being a failed experiment.
"Love... Is kinda curiosity but, do you think your father is deceased? Sorry for ask that is... Just like seems like you have a deep care of him, you two had a strong bonding right?"
"No is fine cielo. That's correct, my father to me meant the whole world... I mean i am not sure if he is dead but... I feel he is deceased. Well, i felt since years ago has i never had the chance to see him again. At the start i thought he was in Italy but... Nothing."
"I am sorry, seems painful loose a parent you seriously loved. But... Look at the good side, maybe he is with you still even you can't see him."
"Yes i know, although... Is not the same feeling but hopefully, this little promise could make him be proud for me and well. You too."
"Me? Oh c'mon why me? He never met me, or well if he sees me he might think i am a criminal."
Marlette smirked with a tiny and soft chuckled.
"What? I mean can be totally true."
"If you you say... Hey but, what happened to your mother?"
Strange, Kaine wasn't a person of asking a lot. But the family story of her caught his attention, although sadly, he was just made in a lab and not having exactly a family, in parents sense of course.
"My mother? Well... Honestly didn't have much contact with her, she divorced from my father since i was a kid, something that... I never understood, probably is just their love finished, as he used to tell me that."
"You should've asked him the reasons as you got older."
Kaine stretched his muscled arms, staying with her while cuddling, enjoying her warmth and soft scent.
"I know but... He didn't want to tell me, maybe is something very private, tho still he should to tell me."
"Your father seems to be a guy of secrets... He already sounds so mysterious."
"He was like that yeah... I wondered a lot of things about him, but the answers i always recieve are just for his business, but me as his daughter i should know too."
"Yeah exactly, i mean erm, i don't have and never had a exact a father. Well a creator counts but, mine's doesn't clearly that bastard."
He rolled his eyes with a quiet snort.
"I get it, but yeah i always asked since the divorce of him and mom..."
Earth-809070, La Guaira, Venezuela.
In the warm weathers from the beachy areas, with a tropical humid breezes, in a house. A small young girl of 7 years old would be reading a book about arachnids, finding them interesting as mythical creatures. The eight legged fauna became one of her interests, she hummed until she heard the door squeak as it opened. She knew it was her father.
A tall italian man, who had black semi-wavy hair, oceanic eyes, wearing a formal suit with a navy blue tie, always dressing elegant as possible. So handsome but his expression... Wasn't as expected to come.
She knew it was her father, standing up she formed a smile and trotted to him, hugging his leg with a giggle.
"Pa! ¿Porqué viniste tan temprano?" [Dad! Why did you come so early?]
"Oh Mi amore, tranquila solo... No había nada que hacer." [My love, calm down just... There wasn't anything to do]
"¿Y porqué esa... Cara?" [And why that... Face?]
"Nada, solo-" [Nothing just-]
"Alessio Giulianni. Vente." [Come]
A sharp femenine voice shot and interrupted the small greeting between father and daughter. A woman with Olive eyes, straight light brown hair, having a beautiful appearance broke te calming scene.
A woman with venezuelan nacionality, known to be a retired police, having a kind attitude but aswell strict... The presence of her always intimidated both family members. Alessio know exactly that tone, his heart beating fast and gulping silently.
"Hija váyase a su cuarto." [Daughter, go to your bedroom]
"Marlette, a su cuarto que tu padre y yo hablaremos." [Marlette, to your bedroom, your father snd me we'll talk.]
That femenine sharp and dominant voice tone, similar to the fullgrown current Marlette. Was a thing to worry, the girl nodded without say anything and left to her own bedroom.
After each minute passed, she heard some yells of both parents, Marlette was very confused in that moment, what she did...? She wondered, then she heard the steps coming, which made her be paralyzed in fear. It was Alessio, hair messy, swollen and teary eyes.
"Vámonos..." [Let's go...]
"¡Y qué mas te vale que te lleves a la niña ah!? Coñue'tumadre! Me tienes harta y cansada lo que has hecho ultimamente! Nojoda!" [And see you then you take the girl ah!? Motherfucker! You got me enough and tired about what you was been lately! Fuck!]
"¡BASTA È BASTA!" [Enough]
He yelled in italian, breathing going intense, both parents with teary eyes while Marlette... Nothing understanding...
"Sal de la casa. Y llévate a la niña..." [Go away from the house, and take the girl...]
"Me la llevo a Estados Unidos, y será la más exitosa en todo! Ella no merece estar contigo!" [I'll take her with me to United States, and will be the most sucessful in anything! She doesn't deserve to be with you!]
Equipament and bags ready, Marlette and Alessio in the Airport. She looked around from the windows of the place, her face, in sadness and confusion. Alessio with baggy eyes by no sleep good and cry by the divorce, he looked at his little daughter.
"Pérdoname Marlette..." [Forgive me Marlette...]
Suddenly, a sound appeared, annoucing the arrival of the airplane. The people and Alessio stood up and began to walk.
"Vamos mi amore, es hora de irnos." [Let's go my love, is time for us go.]
". . . ¿Porqué...? Podemos buscar quizas una casa mejor...? ¿Por que dejamos a mamá?" [Why...? Can we search maybe a better house? Whybwe leave mom?]
"Lo nuestro... Es dificil, no es necesario explicarlo, sólo..." [Our thing is hard, is nit nerfed explain it, just...]
He gulped, his face sad, but for inside somwthing he was terrified.
And it wasn't just the divorce, something else being hidden, like being in the deepest iceberg in the dark oceans.
Her eyes, full in tears stared at the view of her beloved lands, the bright colored ocean, the place she was born, raised and grew with her family.
A Family, turned into shatters caused by the blurred mystery.
One last time... And she left along him...
She wondered a ton of times why, never got the answers that tells the pure truth.
"Quell'arma, sempre inseguita, senza sapere dove andrò..." [At that weapon, always chasing, not knowing where i go...]
Those words, she cleared remembered, like a simple small poem, that wondered and formed an unknown psychology.
Now, Marlette being fullgrown, with arachnid abilities, expecting a multiuniversal baby, and living a universe where she doesn't belong...
Her eyes were now completely wet, the knot in hee throat seemed to be tight for her, she cannot speak a lot. Kaine noticed soon as possible, seeing her cry... It hurted his heart, his face softening.
"Hey hey that's enough..."
"If there was a chance find him and know the truth..."
Her voice broke and tried her best for resist her feeling but didn't really work. Kaine felt vulnerable at this point, he felt his heart tight. Although he never understood what loose a home and family feels, he still had a strong empathy with her.
"L-listen don't cry, for something happened but please i hate seeing you like this..."
He caressed her cheek and then hugged her. Suddenly Ben Reilly arrived and saw the scene, he had a smile seeing his brother and sister-in-law together but that smile swifted into a worried frown.
What just happened... He wasn't sure if ask Kaime about it, normally relationship issues or situations like that shouldn't be for his business, but he worries for both of them. So confused and worried, he just would crawl to the other open window and carefully enter, not making any kind of noise.
The scarred clone kept hugging his partner, caressing her arm and kissing her cheek gently, he was nervous due not knowing much calm down someone at this sadness.
"Look uh, let's change of theme quick... I am sorry i shouldn't have ask you."
He grunted frustrated and facepalmed at himself, feeling like an idiot. Dumb Kaine! Dumb! His mind would say to himself. Marlette looked at him, her sky blue eyes wetted like about to form a waterfall.
"Okay okay that's enough, look don't be sad, or... Erm... The baby will be born sad."
He invented an excuse for make her stop crying, what embarrassing situation now...
Ben listened from the semi short distance, he knew Kaine might be not helping a lot, so he took a deep sigh and knocked the door.
"Hey guys? Is everything in order?"
"Ben? Damn it finally you arrived."
"Clearly two hands maybe."
"Brother, are you an alien or?"
". . . Yeah that made sense... Anyways can i enter please?"
The bigger clone stood up and opened the door, Ben entered and looked at Marlette with a worried frown.
"I asked few things that i shouldn't asked..."
Ben tensed his expression into an annoyed as he turned to see Kaine.
"Family things.... Specially her father."
He whispered, the blonde sighed heavely.
"Indeed your brain still doesn't work in an accurate way, dude."
"First to all i didn't know that she will react like that."
He rolled his eyes, then he went to Marlette and laid down next her. Ben went to the couple, sitting on the bed next Marlette to the other side.
"Marlette... Don't cry! Is not good for you, you are expecting! But... At the same time seems to be fine."
"I shouldn't feel in something that's in the past, Ben."
"Okay listen, you are a human, not a machine, even you recieved a lot of training and military doesn't mean you must be like this kind of emotionless. Or you else Kaine is all the time grumpy? Man can have sometimes his crisis too-"
"You are a human too, brother... Anyways. Look, how about if we can cook you something you crave? Cherries and cheese?"
"Argh... Actually i am not hungry..."
"Damn love, Finally not craving this time-"
Ben would hit on Kaine on the shoulder. Marlette cleaned her tears and took a sigh for calm down.
"Ignore what this silly says, you can just rest and that's it!"
The long haired stayed silent, then he kissed her cheek.
The blonde saw his older brother, raising up his eyebrow, weird, is he planning something for her? Maybe Finally it's time to soft his tough heart. The other man saw him with an eye roll, he kissed Marlette's lips gently.
After, Kaine left. Ben looked at Marlette once again.
"I'll go with him, i know him very well if he brings you something wrong, y'know he is sort of... Coo-coo in his head. By the way..."
He respectfully stared at the baby bump of her.
"Guess my nephew is growing well, isn't he?"
"Mhm , but is surprising how he lives , having both genetic materials with different atoms from both worlds..."
"There must be a scientistic answer but... Might be really hard to search it. But! This is good, c'mon this means he is going to be healthy. Of course anything let us know."
Marlette simply nodded in agreement, Ben carefully gestured with his hand as asking for permission for touch her belly, she allowed him, so he gave gently patting.
"Yeah! I can tell he will be healthy and strong, but... Gotta of course help Kaine about father thing... I am not a father but you know- since he is brutal and sometimes... Idiot."
Reilly smiled, gave gently caresses on the belly, until he stood up and sighed, now leaving but before.
As he heard his name, he turned to see her.
"Thank you. And really honest, here between us. You changed a lot since i met you."
"Oh i agree heh... Seems like i learnt a lot, no? That's the life's designed for, correct?"
Marlette silently nodded with a small proud smile, Ben felt aswell proud and happy, so by waving his hand, he left to follow his taller sibling.
Kaine in this time, he was wearing his civil clothes ehich were just a crimson jacket with a black shirt and dark gray ripped pants, simple, walking in the streets, his brain was filled a lot of thoughts and wonders about how he will do this. Yes, he accepted his partner but, having a child is bot only feed, bath, bond, requires a lot of other things, specially, economy.
After few seconds, Ben arrived walking next him with aswell his civil clothes, wearing a dark blue shirt, with black pants. The expression from the scarred clone tensed lightly in annoyance.
"Huh, i know you need help c'mon! That's why i am here, even though we destroyed ourselves in our past but that's... Another story, you know?"
"By the way Kaine, what happened with you and Marlette? We are now alone so you can tell me, if you like, of course."
". . . Fine then, nothing really, i was askimg a little about her family and she went telling me a story that wasn't even needed. About mostly of her father that literally sounds like a mystery documental."
"Ah, i assume we all have someone mysterious."
"But that's for maybe secretive villains or some shit."
"Says the one who was it before... Of course. Whatever, look i assume is because she is emotional, though i see that you need learn something."
Kaine rolled his eyes, staying silent and letting his brother keep producing more of his words.
"You was been literally stuck in that feeling about you are not a hero, then you do that, then now you can't be a father, then now you are a father! You say anything a no but you are doing it!"
"No! But can be mines too! You are my brother and you can end yourself in an infinite stress!"
"Always living in stress-"
Ben would hit his shoulder.
"Learn of the errors man! And i ain't leaving you alone until all these problems are fixed!"
"Hah, YOU will fix me? No way."
He walked faster, getting enough of Ben who his face tensed.
"Then would you like see Marlette, with a small baby alone. Possibly suffering and not having the love of her life help? Man, i know we are spider "mutants" but... We are also humans, we deserve a life."
The long haired man stopped and lightly turned his head to see the blonde one.
No words, just a small empty moment for inside of his head.
". . . I am here to help, liking or not."
Ben quietly but firmly said, refusing to leave his sibling like that alone. Slowly Kaine turned and both eyes stared deeply, like having a silent but yet intense internal and mental conversation, these clones indeed had a stromg connection that nobody else thought, and fact, im thrir beginnings weren't friendly each other.
Expulsing air from Kaine's nosetrils as he took a deep sigh, like a signal of defeated towards that small discussion that was struggling.
"Okay dude... But if this ends bad your head will be in the graveyard, again."
Meanwhile, Marlette was still on the bed, staring at the ceiling being pensative. Just after many years since she was rescued, felt like she just woke up by a long nightmare.
Those italian words from his father said in a tone that didn't even sound like his father, he wondered. Why did say that as they were leaving?
And, what's hidding behind it? She thought he surely was hidding something clearly, his mystery was endless for her in resolving terms.
She deeply wished to know at least a little piece of the hidden puzzle, she sat up and looked at the nothing. Unsure how she could get a possible answer.
But Marlette, can't do it. She glanced at her maternal bump, placing a hand there, she can't follow the solutions from her mentality. Could run risk of probably create and become a paranoid, but one day as she self promised will see all the hidden truth about it there.
Might hate the coming back of her home where she experimented the worst, but this time, risk her life for a explanation. She stood up and went to the kitchen, there wasn't nothing in the dishwasher, exept a knife which was a little dirty by cut a piece of cheese due her cravings. She stared at the knife, remembering a time of the younger herself in her new home with a knife on the table.
Not dirty, even less used, and its always Alessio who leaves it there, and whenever he saw her with the dangerous item near, she remembered these words from him.
"You shouldn't stare something that is not yours, dear."
After a pair of hours later, the woman for distract her mind was taking a short nap for rest her head in the room, sleeping to the left side for be more comfortable, until her arachnid senses activated and looked at the door with a sleepy expression. It was Kaine, holding a pair of bags and wearing the same civil clothing, Ben was hidden sitting on the couch with a small smirk, he was helping Kaine during these hours, sure , were painful but at least it worked now.
She blinked and stared at her partner, confusion showing clearly, tliting her head slowly.
"What are you... Doing...?"
"Erm, I bought you some... Stuff... For you and our... Baby..."
"Oh let me guess, stolen?"
She raised up an eyebrow as she questioned, Kaine quickly shook his head in disagreement.
"No no, this time... Look thanks by my dumbass brother he helped me get some stuff and well... Possibly a job..."
He shrugged, half annoyed but what he could do. Marlette, stayed silent and tlited her head.
"I know... A Kaine with job is something weird and painful for me, but... Here."
He placed down the bags infront her, he was a bit unsure what to say, he glanced at Ben who gestured with a head movement and a shrug. The taller clone looked back at Marlette and saw how she took the bags carefully.
"Is not a lot but... Well, is something."
He scratched his own head, Marlette opened the bags and slowly pulled out some items such as small baby blanket, a tiny pillow, few baby clothes and a teddy bear plush, simple items but emotionally effective enough. She blinked her eyes and took the stuff, analyzing them while her expression softened.
"Y'know... Being a father makes me struggle a lot lately as you annouced about the kid... And i admit it i hate myself being that insecure father. But i guess i am going to-"
"Be grateful with your wonderful brother! Long hairy!"
"That... And learn of my own problems, though will take time."
"Check the other bag! All these are brpught by the self Kaine Parker!"
"More like Ben Reilly but... Just a touch."
As she listened Ben, she took the other bag, as she opened it, there was more baby clothes and... a Small box, she carefully took it.
"You sure this is not stolen...?"
"If it was stolen he would be already in prison, after all."
Ben shrugged, Marlette opened the small box and there it was... A necklace, made of silver formed of small harmless chains, with a rose shaped medal with blue crystals, obviously not diamonds or any real stone costs much money, but for her that was more than a new treasure.
Silence roaming around the room, her eyes staring deeply at the necklace, for a moment the brothers felt subtle nervous, thinking if she didn't like it.
After analyzing, she looked at them with her eyes began to be teary.
Kaine's face softened, aswell his heart feeling warm.
"You used wear that and i knew it was something you loved, obviously this is not the same but. Is something so close."
Ben quietly smiled warmly, seeing the couple look at each other.
"And lastly i work in... being those bodyguards in those malls, some reason they accepted me since my size and my mean face."
"I mean Kaine can be the perfect one for work at those, c'mon is like the big foot."
He giggled, Kaine looked at Ben with an annoyed sigh.
"I said shoo and sheesh, you did your thing and i got bored of your presence."
"Sure whatever then, mr. Teddy Scary Bear, stay with her but please do not kill the baby!"
He exclaimed, face redder.
He shot a piece of organic web at Ben's mouth, who widened his eyes and stayed silent, then rolled his eyes like being defeated and shook his head along his blonde hair.
"Now shoo, fuera." [Go away]
He clapped and gestured, his spanish slowly improving, Ben shrugged and left the couple alone. Kaine snorted quietly and looked at Marlette, softening a bit.
"Anyways... Did you like?"
He laid down next her, giving a soft and careful hug with a gentle nuzzle.
"No... I really loved it."
She smiled warmly, her partner too, being a rare gesture from these two.
"I knew it... And fact the job will be part time, gotta organize more my timing."
"But you have Ben and... Peter, no?"
"True, but i wouldn't sit down watching them doing the heaviest work."
"So you are claiming you are the strongest one."
"Maybe that too, Ben is also an loco."
"All locos then, including myself, Aracely and everyone."
"I meeeaannn... Ben was before right that i am the craziest one. Apart i can be messy... My craziness for you could be aswell the reason."
He blushed, having a internal combat of himself trying be soft but not too soft for a tough guy. Marlette blushed lightly and giggled softly, caressing his brown hair for then make his head lay down on her shoulder, giving access of her natural warmth.
Which in her biology she can be warm apart of her muscular structure and maybe her bioelectric genes that keeps her warm. His scarred face snuggled on her neck, giving a gently kiss and closing his eyes, feeling total peace with his family.
She sighed and closed her eyes, feeling the contact with him, made her calm down her internal storms full of mysteries.
But in her endless memories, she heard another quote from Alessio, like about of a recorder.
"Appreciate what you have in your hands, nobody knows when it lasts."
Finally after months a new chapter came out! Hopefully these chapters are getting better, the mystery and action of this are evolving. 👀
