"The last thing I remember, Megan, is singing to her. You put her in my arms and I sang. Mozart. The next day, she was walking and you were fighting with me. And Erik is not using hyperbole for poetic effect. But that is neither here nor there; I am dealing with things as they are now, and now, Julian and I need her. I want a family. I want my children."

"Now that you've gotten rid of me, I expect you'll try to raise our daughter to think of her mother as a shameless harlot who abandoned her family."

"I don't think that will be necessary," *he said.* "Proserpina will be quite happy, though concerned about your welfare. Erik would not have done this had you given him another choice."

*Erik hid the tiny pang of guilt that brought him--especially since it wasn't guilt at all but bruised ego.*
"Erik tried; you were unreasonable," *he snapped.* "Just as well you're here, then, isn't it? I will refrain from visiting you in the future, then. With or without Pina."

*Erik wiped the spit off with the back of his hand.*
"That is not the way to get into Erik's good graces," *he chided softly.* "You're burning all your remaining boats, aren't you?"

"She's half mine, you know," *he said.* "And soon she'll be old enough to know what she wants--and who."

*A slow smile spread across Erik's face.*
"Erik can be very charming when he wishes to. Yes, very charming indeed. Or had you forgotten? She will be safe with me, at least, which is more than Erik can say for you."

"And what will she do when she discovers you had me locked away for no reason other than being inconvenient to you?"

*Erik's face darkened.*
"Robbing Erik of his family is not 'inconvenient.' I must preserve that at all costs; it is all I have in this world."
