She nods. The idea of Stinger knowing that the two of them wanted a baby before they’d even tried to have one was odd but he was a friend and their leader. He had to know.

“He’s my best friend Rae, I need to know if we’re going to get ourselves in trouble Before it happens.” He replied with a sigh. “I wouldn’t want something bad to happen if we could prevent it.”

“I know. But he’s also the commander and chief as it where. He could always land us in the trouble.”

“He won’t.” Caine promised and shook his head. “We’ve been though too much he and I.”

“I know you have… It’s me he doesn’t like.” The two didn’t exactly hate each other. But they didn’t have the same relationship him and Caine had.

“Stinger will respect my choices. He’s just not used to me having other people in my pack Rae..” He replied and kissed her temple. She was the center of his universe, she was all he needed to have his pack. Pups and friends were nice, but if he couldn’t have those he would be more than happy with her.

Her fingers travel up to her lovers face, ever so gently running over every part, chin, jaw, cheeks, nose, eyes up to the start of the hair on his head, "I know. He doesn't have to like me. He just has to accept this is happening."

"Would you want me to be with you more?"

She laughs, "Because that's what normal people do. Instead of lying in bed forgetting the world exists."

She nods. The idea of Stinger knowing that the two of them wanted a baby before they’d even tried to have one was odd but he was a friend and their leader. He had to know.

“He’s my best friend Rae, I need to know if we’re going to get ourselves in trouble Before it happens.” He replied with a sigh. “I wouldn’t want something bad to happen if we could prevent it.”

“Yeah, I suppose so.” He shrugged and looked away, trying to play it off. It wasn’t like the question had been circling her brain for the last few weeks. Or that he desperately wanted a family. No, that was completely incorrect. 

“Caine…” She uses the tone which means she wants him to stop playing it off, “Look at me.”

He shifted and tried not to look at her, but he always ended up doing as he was told. “It’s not that big of a deal, don’t worry about it Rae.”

While he fought with himself to do as she asked she put the book aside. When he finally turns to her she takes his chin with one of her delicate hands, “Are you asking me if I want to start a family with you?”

“Maybe..” He sighed and leaned into her hands. “I’ve never had one and if I was to have a family it would be with you so..” Caine looked up at her and smiled faintly. “I guess I am.” 

She chuckles as his hesitance. Although she understands it. And reaches up to kiss him gently, “I’d never say no to having a family with you.”

“Really?” His expression brightened with hope, then he pulled her close and kissed her again. Caine loved this woman, so very much. “You’re not saying that just to make me happy?” 

She smiles. She can tell how much this means to him, “You know I’m not the sort of person to do that.” She replies and nuzzles against his shoulder, “It will be hard you know. Even a skyjackers salary would have a hard time supporting pups.”

“Then maybe I find us a way to go private, working for one of the Entitled directly.” He offered and pressed a kiss to her temple. “I’ll figure out some way to provide for our family, don’t worry okay?” 

He calms her as much as she calms him. She looks up when he kisses her and nods softly, “I’ll try not to.” She answers. Before slowly linking her smaller hand with his own and intertwining their fingers, “How many?”

“I don’t know about foxsplices but lycantents tend to have litters. They’re small, typically two but..” He shrugged and looked her over. “How many do you want?” He asked her. 

“We where designed to have one child at a time. Two on the rarest of occasions.” She comments. Their bodies where too small to take on so many children at once. “I’ve never thought about it.” She pauses “Would you marry me first?”

“We’ll have to talk to some people about the physical part of it all, I don’t want you getting hurt during the pregnancy.” He pressed a kiss to the top of her head. “If you wanted me to, yes.” He hadn’t even considered marriage, but if that was what Rae wanted, he would do it.  

She shrugs about the physical part. It doesn’t really bother her. “I want to get married.” She admits “It feels right.”

“Then we’ll get married.” He shrugged and pressed a kiss to her lips. “When do you want to do it?” 

“I don’t know.” She admits. It was just the idea of it, “Surprise me.” She chuckles and returns the kiss.

“Alright, then you have no right to complain about how any of it goes.” Caine cautioned her. “I’ll do my best to make it good but..” 

She has to laugh. This is the reason she loves him. His unsure. Playful side. She reaches over to kiss his forehead “I won’t complain I promise.”

“Good.” He grinned and then pulled her close. They were going to have a family, the pair of them. Caine didn’t even know if what they were thinking about doing was remotely legal, but he’d figure it all out later.

She curls as close as is humanly possible to the man beside her, “I think stinger would enjoy being an uncle.”

“ I agree. Though he might not approve, he’ll end up being good.” Caine grinned and pressed a kiss to the top of her hair.

She smiles and nods. He probably would be all against it to begin with. But that was just Stinger being Stinger, “They’d look like you.”

“You don’t know that for sure, hell we might end up with a little girl. Odds are she’d look like you.” He replied with a smile, already imagining their children.

“No… They’d have your blonde hair… And bright eyes. They’d be taller than me no matter what.” She’s running a finger over his chest making patterns on his skin.

“They’ll have your cleverness then.” He hummed, eyes fluttering shut as her touch comforted him. “They’ll be wild, running around the camp or wherever it is we’re living. I’ll have a hell of a time keeping up.”

“I don’t want to raise them in a camp like this…” She admits suddenly, “I don’t want to raise my children in a place of war and death. The deserve better.”

“ I agree.” He nodded and thought about it for a moment. “We’ll have to get out of the field I think.” Caine sighed and then held her a little tighter. It’ll be okay Rae. We’ll figure something out.“

She smiles somewhat sadly and nestles in to his shoulder, "I'm worrying about children I haven't even conceived yet."

“Yeah, I suppose so.” He shrugged and looked away, trying to play it off. It wasn’t like the question had been circling her brain for the last few weeks. Or that he desperately wanted a family. No, that was completely incorrect. 

“Caine…” She uses the tone which means she wants him to stop playing it off, “Look at me.”

“You’re a liar.”

“You’re a beautiful woman!”

"Thank you for noticing."

Eventually she manages to pull away from him "we should probably do something productive today."

“Yeah, I suppose so.” He shrugged and looked away, trying to play it off. It wasn’t like the question had been circling her brain for the last few weeks. Or that he desperately wanted a family. No, that was completely incorrect.

"No... They'd have your blonde hair... And bright eyes. They'd be taller than me no matter what." She's running a finger over his chest making patterns on his skin.

“I. Am NOT. Entertainment for your boys.”

“Never said you were… I was talking about the raptors”

"You're a liar."

“Who’s going to care? Everybody we work with!”

“Let ‘em watch! They could use a good show.”

"I. Am NOT. Entertainment for your boys."

“Yeah, I suppose so.” He shrugged and looked away, trying to play it off. It wasn’t like the question had been circling her brain for the last few weeks. Or that he desperately wanted a family. No, that was completely incorrect.

She hits him harder with the clipboard for the smack on the ass, “Not while people are around!” The two had played around a little on night shifts while nobody was there but them. But during the day when every man and his raptor could walk in they kept it to themselves.

“Oh come on now… What are you so afraid of, hmm? Who’s gonna care?”

"Who's going to care? Everybody we work with!"
