*She looked up at him, surprised at his reaction.*
"Icarus, please! It is our baby we're talking about. Of course I will keep it. Did you think I was capable of killing my own child? And yours?"

Um...yes?
*Icarus turned back to face her.*
I would.
*He frowned.*
"What kind of life are you expecting to be able to offer it?"
*He shook his head.*
"You seem to draw danger and torture and death. What kind of environment will the child have to grow up in?"

*Malefica looked up at him, staring him straight in the eyes.*
"A darn good life!" *she replied mildly.* "If I am capable of protecting the Holy Grail from harm, I can also protect our baby."
*She looked lovingly up at him*
"I love that kid already." *She said.* "Because it is yours."

*His lips tightened.*
"You would love that child no matter whose it was. It the genetic drive that nature forces on you. I really have little to do with it."

*She smiled and looked up at him again.*
"Oh Icarus! Why can't you see that I love you? I wouldn't have a child with anyone else but you."
*She came over to him, wrapped her arms around his neck and looked him pleadingly in the eyes with her beautiful, innocent doe eyes.*
"Can we keep it? Please?"

I know you love me. Really. You only tell me every five minutes.
*Icarus rolled his eyes and turned his face from her, but did not deny her touch.*
"Dear lord, woman. It's not a puppy."
*He sighed heavily and paused to calculate some things. If he said no, she'd leave and have it anyways. And without him in the picture, it might turn into one of those revenge plots that never went well for the father that was never there. He shut his eyes in defeat.*
"Fine."
But don't expect me to be happy about it.

It is only because you are so irresistible......
*Malefica brightened like a sunrise*
"Oh Icarus, thank you!"
*She pulled him closer and kissed him.*
A revenge plot, me? Oh Icarus, I could never do that against you. And I will never leave you. Without you, my life means nothing. With this child, I would stay with you forever, even without the ring that binds me to you....

*He allowed the kiss, but gently took her by the shoulders, separating her from him.*
"Get to bed. If you're going to do this..."
*He sighed in frustration, his eyes glancing to the door.*
"It won't do to have your health failing."

*Malefica smiled and looked up at him.*
"My love for you will not go away because of the child, Icarus. Au contraire."
*She caressed his cheek.*
"I'm holding you up. Go and look for a nice home for us. I'll go to bed and continue my reading while you're gone. I'm not worried about my health. You take good care of me."

*Icarus's eyes darkened, but he nodded and glanced sternly at the bedroom.*
"I mean it. Go."
*Looking her over once more, he slipped out of the room.*

*Malefica chuckled with laughter and went back to bed. Icarus was so sweet when he was concerned for her. She found her books and started reading, awaiting for his return.*

*Some time later, he reentered, moving quickly and with purpose, but for once with a smile on his face. The whole thing was rather odd looking as he bustled about packing.*
"Pack your things, I've found just the place."

*Malefica snapped her fingers, and all her things disappeared into a cloud of smoke. She turned to him with a smile on her face and kissed him lovingly.*
"Hi handsome. Where are we going?"

*Icarus returned her kiss for a brief moment, wrapping his arm around her waist, if only to urge her to the door. His own luggage promptly vanished as well.*
"You just wait until you see it."
*There was almost a childlike excitement in his tone as he shoved them both out the door.*
((To Mondego's estate.))
