End or no end

Elliot smiled and looked up at him, "That's because I think you are sexy. Any other guy is just playing for second," She took his hand in her own and played with his fingers. She laughed a little, "If you are starting to feel like the old you... Does this mean I'll start to win our little game in bed again?" She teased.

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia watched as Hatan took Marcus into his arms. She smiled widely, happy to see him holding her child. She was worried that he would be as distant with them as he was with her. It made her heart swell with happiness seeing him with her baby boy. She looked up at Samsul when he walked over to her and told her that she could sleep. That they all would take care of the two. She nodded, "Wake me up in a couple hours to feed them again..."

She reached up and gently pulled Samsul into another kiss, not caring that the other three parents were there. She smiled at him, "I love you."

Then she rolled over onto her side and closed her eyes, looking for some well needed rest.

End or no end

Elliot rested her head against his shoulder and sighed, "I accept your apology.... I just... You're a lot better at this than me.... The being injured thing. I'm supposed to be tending to your wounds on lying bed next to you just as bad. And knowing that it hurt you this bad.... Despite the fact that I've never really seen you cry out in pain... That's what scares me..." She kissed his neck, "I guess the scars are kind of... sexy...''

End or no end

Elliot's eyes widened at the scar and looked at him, "Are you trying to scare me? Because...." She looked up at her bag of meds that dripped into her through an IV. She was glad to see that it was partially full, "It's not funny.... It is... Quite scary in fact."

She looked up at the ceiling thinking about how he would sit there clutching his shoulder as she ran and got him more meds or they tried to wean him off of them. She bit her lip she didn't like how it look and to know that he clutched his shoulder hard enough to leave scars... only scared her more.

End or no end

Elliot smiled and closed her eyes as he kissed her head, "Good.... I still feel like crap...." She moved her hand to lift up her shirt. She looked at the large bandage that covered the gun shot wound that was slightly and to the left of her belly button. She shook her head and leaned it back against the pillow, "I don't understand... How you get shot so often and barely react. I feel like this is killing me..."

End or no end

Elliot woke up groaning again. Each time she woke up it was like her body remember the pain and pointed it out to her before it disappeared again. She rubbed her eye with the heel of her hand. Besides the pain, she was feeling stronger, which meant that her blood was all accounted for. She looked up at Jacob to see he was awake and smiled, "You look better."

End or no end

Elliot bit her lip and nodded, "I promise..."

Her parents were still dead, she still killed those people, and her sister still wanted nothing to do with her. Now, Jacob was her everything and he was okay. He wasn't dying. He was recovering and she was okay with that. She kissed his cheek again before closing her own eyes, the pain meds taking full effect and fell asleep.

End or no end

Elliot smiled at him and laughed a little, "I'm holding you to that. No running off on me after this war is over."

She looked to the doctor when he came in. She grinned when he said that the machine was ready. She was even happier when Jacob asked to be hooked up to it in there, so that he wouldn't have to leave. She watched at the doctor hooked him up and turned on the machine. She watched still as his blood filtered through the tube and into the machine and back through another tube into Jacob. She kissed his cheek before resting her head on his shoulder as best she could, "I love you..."

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia smiled at Samsul, "Send someone else to send someone to get my parents... I want you right here with our kids... You haven't even had the chance to hold Marcus yet."

She didn't say any more before Millie burst into the room and looked at the two babies, congratulating them. Anastasia laughed and reached up to her sweaty messy hair and fixed it up a little. She giggled, "Alright, no more people. Babies and parents need their rest. Only the grandparents right now and I guess Millie," she looked up at Samsul, "If we let everyone come in one by one, we'll be up for hours," She chuckled, "We'll throw a little party for the babies and all of the servants can come see them then," She yawned. She tried. She had woken up first thing that morning and it was well into the afternoon now. She'd been pushing for hours and it tired her. She took a deep breath, "God, I need a nap."

End or no end

Elliot laughed held his hand to her lips. She nodded her head, "I really think that you might. The war has always kept you busy... Might be hard to remember that part... The part of life that happens when things are normal..." She kissed his hand, "I think that if we can survive this... We can survive anything."

She closed her eyes, growing tired, "You'll have to go find a ring though, of course," she teased as she yawned.
