"Yes, please!"
*She squirmed delightedly.*
"Pork chops." *Eden clarified definitively.*
"And a peanut butter sandwich."

*Malefica laughed and caressed her daughters hair. *
"Pork chops and peanut butter sandwich coming up."
*She turned to Icarus and gave him a loving smile.*
"And you, my love, must be starved as well. What do you want?"

*Icarus frowned, but the expression softened as he made a silent vow to himself. He had to try.*
"Nothing. Thank you. Just see to the child."

*Malefica smiled and kissed him, then she turned to Eden again.*
"I'm going to the kitchen and make you something good to eat. Do you want your food in the kitchen or here?"

"Kitchenkitchenkitchenkitchen!"
*Eden scampered out of the room and down the stairs to the kitchen.*
((Shall we move this there?))

***NEW DAY***
*Icarus entered the bedroom quietly, his demeanor somber. This was a great task and he worried that he would fail. He understood her point of view on the matter, of course, but why couldn't she see his side? Oh well, it hardly mattered now. He sat on the bed, wincing in pain for a moment. That wouldn't do, letting her see him like that. The burn marks on his chest would be bad enough. But it was for the greater good. He laughed hollowly at himself. Who would have thought that he would be doing anything for the greater good? And yet here he sat and waited.*

*Malefica entered the bedroom. She felt as nervous as a virgin bride on her wedding night. She had showered and smelled good from soap, and had discreetly put on some perfume. She was wearing a sheer silk chemise with lace in white, and her long blonde hair was falling down her back in curls. She saw him sitting there, waiting for her, and blushed as her heart started beating faster. She couldn't believe she had the courage to ask this of him. And she couldn't believe he had accepted. She came quietly over to the bed, offering him a shy smile.*

*He forced himself to smile in answer, standing as she approached him. His hands were hesitant as he loosened her chemise and slid it softly over her shoulders. His eyes never left hers as the delicate fabric pooled at her feet. His fingertips moved slowly over her skin, as if he was admiring a detailed marble statue by touch alone.*

*Malefica looked warmly at him. Her heart filled with compassion as she saw the burn marks on his chest. She knew he had done this for the child, and that made the love she felt for him even stronger. She placed her hands gently on his cheeks and looked him deeply into his eyes, trying to show him how much she loved him. She enjoyed the feel of his skin under her hands.*

*His lashes fluttered with a naivety as he tried to think about the right order of things. He only got one shot at this and it had to be perfect. He was trying desperately not to think on how he would raise a child of White Light by himself if she died. He tried hard to stay in the present, kissing her softly as he urged her down on the bed.*

*Malefica responded to his kisses with all the love she had to give. She gave in to his caress with all her heart, body and soul. She embraced him and caressed him passionately as she sank down on the bed, but was careful not to touch his scars, as she didn't want to hurt him.*

*He shut his eyes for a moment, stealing himself in in his resolve. He could do this. They could do this. He told himself again and again that it was for the right reasons. He touched her gently, shifting himself above her...*
***FADE OUT***

***FADE IN***
*Malefica rested in Icarus' arms, absolutely breathtaken after the most perfect lovemaking she had ever experienced. She had a broad and very happy smile on her lips, and there was a light in her eyes that never had been there before. She wrapped her arms gently around Icarus and kissed him.*
"Thank you, Icarus." *She whispered lovingly.* "It was.... perfect. Beyond comparison."

*All the light that burned in her eyes was lost in his. He felt hallow. Used up. But he had had to. There was no choice. He forced a small smile.*
"I am glad that it was all that you had hoped for."
*He rolled on his side, away from her.*
"I...I need to rest now. To be ready for Lilith."

*Malefica looked lovingly at him.*
"Do you want me to take care of your wounds, my love?"
*Her voice was soft and caring, showing the worry she felt for him.*
