*Malefica smiled sadly.*
"What worries me the most is that she thinks I think she is not good enough. Even though I told her how much I love her. I can only hope that things will get better one day."
*She came over to him and wrapped her arms around him, and hugged him, trying to hide how tired she felt.*
"You look tired. Do you want me to bring you something to eat or drink? You need some rest, you know."

"I'm fine." *He answered flatly.*
*After a long moment, he shifted his gaze to her.*
"Is she really? Good enough? If she was...we wouldn't have had to..."
I wouldn't have had to given up all that I am to save humanity.

*Malefica looked into his eyes and smiled lovingly.*
"Icarus. You know that I love you and Eden more than my own life. But the Holy Grail has to remain pure. It can't be near evil. You know that. And Eden will become the greatest Witch of Darkness ever. I am very proud of that. But unfortunately I can't let her guard the Grail or the Golden Wand with those powers. How can I make her understand I love her even if she will not be a Guardian?"

*Icarus looked at her, unsure of what she wanted him to say.*
"That's just it, Malefica. You can't force her to understand. Or to accept it. You did what you felt was right. Now you just have to learn that not every problem can be solved by telling someone you love them."
More often than not, it really doesn't matter.

*Malefica smiled and hugged him.*
"I know that, Icarus. Don't you think it pains me that I can't teach her the secrets of the Grail? Don't you think I wanted to teach her? But I can't. I didn't want to hurt her feelings, Icarus. But sometimes it seems like all I do, is hurting the ones I love more than anything. And that makes me hate myself."

*His eyes met hers, strangely empathetic for a moment.*
"I know. Do you not think that we all suffer as you do? But that is the cost for doing what is right."
*He lowered his gaze.*
"We must all make our sacrifices."
I did.

*Malefica looked at him, with all the love and passion she felt for him showing in her eyes. Then she gently lifted her hand and caressed his cheek. She allowed her hand to continue down his neck and then slip inside his shirt, caressing the burnmarks on his chest. Her voice was warmer than ever when she spoke to him.*
"What you have sacrificed for the goodness of the world, Icarus, was deeply touching and unexpected. The more I learn to know you, the deeper I fall in love with you."
*She leaned in to him and kissed him, putting all her love for him in the kiss.*

*He answered her kiss for a moment without thinking, then his chest sagged in sadness. He turned his face away gently.*
"You have what you need from me. Why do you torment me? All I want to do is save our child. Our family."
*He glanced to the notes and tomes and potions before him on the desk.*

"In what way am I tormenting you, my love?"
*She embraced him warmly and held him close, caressing his hair gently.*
"I want to save our family too. Both my children and my husband."
*She looked interested at his desk.*
"How is your research going?"

"The same." *He answered flatly.*
"You really can't understand, can you? I have asked for what I have needed. But you seem to put your own needs ahead of mine."
*His eyes lifted to observe her detachedly.*
"But that makes sense. Before you...I would have done the same. But now...not now."

*Malefica looked warmly at him and smiled, before she kissed him again.*
"What was it about me, that made you change?"
*Suddenly she felt a movement inside her. She gasped and placed her hand on her stomach, to feel. At first, she got a childlike wondering expression in her eyes, then she beamed with joy, as her eyes filled with tears.*
"Icarus! The baby is kicking!"

*Now that was a question he just didn't have a good answer for. Perhaps Loke's blood... He couldn't think on it at the moment. He studied her as she bubbled in excitement. She seemed so happy, so alive. Not like him.*
"I am glad for you." *He answered.*
*His eyes didn't blink, taking in her light and silently wondering if she would even miss Eden when the time came. If he couldn't save her. Something in his chest ached. He tried to push that feeling away.*

*Malefica looked at him, noticing the sadness in his appearance. She melted and embraced him lovingly, peppering his face with kisses.*
"Icarus, it is our baby. Yours and mine and Edens."
*She became serious and placed herself on his lap.*
"I am worried about Eden. If anything happens to her.... "
*Her eyes filled with tears and she didn't finish the sentence.*
"Do you think she will accept a protection amulet if I make one for her?"

If anything happens to her, you'll be rid of the Darkness and left with a bright bouncing bundle of Light.
*Women. Hormonal women. Icarus sighed before shrugging.*
"I don't know, but I'll get it to her if I see her. I can't imagine why she wouldn't see reason about it."

I can't be without any of my children. There cannot be light without darkness. And there cannot be darkness without light.
*Malefica took of an amulet she had carried around her neck.*
"This amulet is a lot like yours, also made with blood from my aorta. I almost drained my body of blood to make the protection as solid as possible. I gave Merlin quite a turn when he noticed all the blood. But it should be powerful enought. Will you give it to Eden and make sure she uses it? She always listens more to you."
