#kraven

“Yes, you can. Peter he hadn’t done anything yet. You don’t need to worry about this right now.” Y/n hated seeing her brother this stressed. If the guy hadn’t done anything yet then Peter didn’t need to worry to this level.

“But he could be planning something.” Peter stopped pacing, looking at Y/n with wide eyes. Why wasn’t she worried about this? She knew the kind of people he took down and watched as spiderman.

Y/n adjusted herself to sit up and scooted a little forward in her seat. “Even if he is, you won’t know till he does it. So please stop stressing yourself out.”

Peter sat down next to her in defeat. “I just don’t want anyone to get hurt.”

Y/n sympathized with him, knowing how much effort he puts in to keeping everyone and the city safe. “You know you can’t always help that. Besides, his history suggests he only takes out the bad guys.”

“His methods are-”

“Different than yours, but effective.” Y/n knew Peter hated the way Kraven the hunter handled his business but it worked for him. Her brother would never handle things the same way but that didn’t mean it didn’t work.

“I guess. Just please be cautious. We don’t know what he looks like.” Peter knew she had a point but he would never condone this Hunters methods and he couldn’t handle it if something happened to her.

Y/n reached over and grabbed his hand in hers. “I always am.”

Peter nodded, biting his lip before taking a deep breath. “I know, I know it’s just. . . I lost you once, I don't want to lose you again.”

Y/n pulled him into a hug, resting her chin on his shoulder. She would not let anything take her from Peter again. It wasn’t her choice before but it would be if someone tried to separate them again. “You won’t.”

Peter nodded trying to convince himself of her promise. He cleared his throat pulling out of the hug. “Are we still on for tomorrow night?”

Y/n knew he was changing the subject because it was hard for him, and she let him. “Of course. See you then, brother.”

Peter stood up and headed to the door to leave Y/n’s apartment. He smiled at her. “See you then, sis.”

Neither sibling noticed or even had an inkling to the eyes that had been watching them the whole time from the roof of the building across the way. Eyes of a hunter that was forming a plan in his head on how to get closer to a spider under the radar.

^     ^     ^

It had been a few days since Peter had warned Y/n of a new potential threat. But she wasn’t going to let that deter what she wanted to do. So Y/n went about her life as normal.

That was till she bumped into a stranger on the sidewalk. “I am so sorry.”

Y/n apologized once she was steady on her feet thanks to said man who grabbed her around the waist so she wouldn’t fall.

“Its alright. No harm done.” The man shook his head with a light unbothered smile on his lips.

Y/n looked up at him for the first tie and was taken back by how handsome this man truly was.

“Sorry.” She blushed, stepping back to give them both space.

Sergei tried to contain his amused smirk. “You said that already.”

“Sor-”

They both laughed at how she was about to say it again.

“Where are you headed? If you don’t mind me asking. I’m Sergei by the way.”  Sergei asked, hoping to keep the conversation going.

“I’m Y/n, and I don’t. I’m not going anywhere impurticualr.” Y/n shrugged as they introduced themselves.

Sergei smiled at getting her name, he may have already known it but she didn’t know that. “Well if you have nothing to do may I suggest something?”

“Sure.” Y/n was intrigued so she answered pretty fast.

“Really?” Sergei couldn’t hide his honest surprise at how willing she was when they had just met.

“I’m curious.” She shrugged, smiling up at him. It wasn’t like she couldn’t protect herself if need be.

Sergei couldn’t deny the twinge of fascination he got at her behavior. “Would you like to take a walk with me? I haven’t been here in years, so could you show me around?”

“Sure. Why not.” Y/n didn’t have anything to do and he didn’t seem like a serial killer.

“Lead the way.” Sergei held his hand out, stepping aside so she could lead the way.

They fell in step with each other. “Well, what do you wanna see?” Y/n asked him curious to know what he might want to see around the city.

“Your favorite places.” He shrugged his shoulders as he put his hands in his jacket pockets. Sergei glanced at her shyly. “You seem like someone with good taste.”

Y/n smiled, looping their arms together. “Well that I am.”

2 Weeks Later

“So you have any family here?” Y/n asked as they sat down at a table outside a sandwich shop. Ever since they had met a couple weeks ago the two had met up to do something or go somewhere, and they were getting to know each other as well.

Sergei shook his head after taking a bite, he swallowed before answering her. “No, not here. Do you?”

Y/n nodded ‘yes’, taking a sip of her soda before speaking. “Yeah. My brother and Aunt. Along with some close friends.”

Sergei raised a brow framing curiosity as if he didn’t know that. “A brother? I have one of those.”

“Younger or older?” She asked, curious to know more.

“Younger. Yours?” He might already know but she didn’t know that.

“Older. By 16 months.” Y/n smiled, taking a bite of her own sandwich.

“Close.” Sergei's eyebrows raised in surprise.

“Yeah. We act like twins. For the most part.” She nodded fondly as she thought about how many times people asked if her and Peter were twins. But that also had a big gap in it from when they were kids and to recent years. And thinking about that gap of time and what happened in it made Y/n’s happy expression fall.

Sergei picked up on the change in her emotions and noticed how her eyes visibly dimmed, he reached across the table laying his head on top of hers to gain her attention. “You okay? Where’d your mind go?”

Y/n looked up at him blinking out of her thoughts. “No where.”

“I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.” It wasn’t his intention to have her mind go to a dark place and he truthfully felt bad that it had. He was just trying to know her, and if Sergei was honest with himself he didn’t know if it was just to find Spiderman's weakness anymore.

“You didn’t.” Y/n squeezed his hand as assurance he didn’t do anything wrong, sending him a tight lipped smile. “So how long are you in the city for?” She asked changing the subject.

Sergei sat back in his seat, he understood the subject change and went with it. He shrugged. “I don’t know yet.”

Y/n raised a brow at his nonchalant response. “No commitments?”

“None holding me down.” Sergei didn’t have to be anywhere at any specific time, and he enjoyed it that way.

“Must be nice, and lonely.” Y/n couldn’t imagine how lonely that could get but to be able to go anywhere anytime that sounded nice. Y/n just would want someone to go with her.

“It can be. But I’m enjoying your company.” Truth was Sergei didn’t like to dwell on how lonely his life was at times. But as much as it wasn’t in his plans he enjoyed hanging out with her more than he planned.

“Y/n?” Peter tilted his head in confusion as he caught sight of his sister when he was about to pass by. And he didn’t recognize who she was sitting with.

“Peter.” Y/n was shocked when she heard him call her name, they didn’t tend to run into each other when they were out and about. 

“Who’s this?” Peter pointedly looked towards Sergei with caution and suspension.

“Oh right. Peter, this is Sergei, this is my brother Peter.” Y/n pointed between the two as she introduced them.

“Nice to meet you.” Peter nodded but he didn’t smile, his spidey senses were tingling he felt like something was off with this guy.

“You to.” Sergei nodded in his seat, he was trying not to let it show how on edge he was being this close to his recent hunt.

“So this is your new friend you mentioned.” Peter stated even though it sounded more like a question. He didn’t take his eyes off Sergei. Something just felt wrong.

“This is him.” Y/n nodded with a smile, she could feel some tension between the two but she hoped it was just normal brotherly protectiveness and Sergei’s usual stand off-ishness towards it seemed everyone but her.

“So you're the brother who's been talked highly of?” Sergei tried to lessen the tension by smiling and trying to break the ice.

“That must be me.” Peter gave a tight smile, he didn’t understand why this guy felt off so for now he’d play nice. Maybe his senses could be having an off day. Peter turned to Y/n. “Well I’ve got to go but are you still up for tonight?” It was their usual movie night but sometimes it was also a take down a bad guy night.

Y/n smiled, she couldn’t wait for their annual movie night. “Yeah, I’ll be there.” She hoped it’d be a normal night in with her brother.

With that Peter gave one last nod and bid the both of them farewell and left on his way.

“So I can’t talk you into dinner and movies tonight?” Sergei pouted teasingly once Peter left.

“Raincheck?” Y/n raised a brow hoping to be able to spend more time with him but not willing to cancel time with her brother.

“Of course.” Sergei understood sibling time, but he also knew that the look in both their eyes meant more than possibly just staying home.

After they finished Sergei and Y/n said their goodbyes and went their separate ways. Sergei waited and watched till he noticed Y/n and Peter leave her apartment, and then he followed them. It wasn’t hard for him to keep up and he noticed at some point along the way the siblings had disappeared and reappeared wearing their ‘hero’ suits. Tonight Sergei didn’t plan on exposing himself, it was just about watching and surveying, studying the two.

While he was watching them from afar take down petty theft robbers and some wanna be gang members, Sergei noticed every once in a while how Y/n would glance around suspiciously. It was almost like she knew they were being watched. In fact Sergei was 100% sure he somehow did know someone, him, was watching them from the shadows. Sergei hated it when his mind decided to wonder thinking about her. He started having reservations about his spying and growing relationship and feelings when it came to Y/n. It didn’t feel right. He was starting to realize that all the feelings he was having for her weren’t fake to get to know her and get close to her brother. They were real, and the spying and keeping so much secret wasn’t feeling right anymore. So Sergei decided after Y/n and Peter headed home for the night, done with patrolling the city, that he was going to stop by Y/n’s place and come clean. He was going to come clean tonight hoping that she’ll let him explain and not hate him after.

Sergei got there before Y/n did, he assumed she was changing out of her outfit so no one would notice. He contemplated what exactly he would say to her.

When he heard the key enter the lock Sergei took a deep breath, preparing himself for what he was about to reveal.

Y/n entered her apartment and once she flipped the light switch on she was taken back.

“Sergei!” She gasped, placing her hand over her heart. Y/n looked at him confused. “How’d you-”

“We need to talk.” He stated rubbing his hands together nervously.

“Okay?” Y/n was now on edge. She had never told him where she lived.

Sergei noticed how her posture changed and tensed up, he sighed knowing the chances of their growing relationship ending were high. “I haven’t been completely honest with you. I want to change that. But I need you to let me explain.”

Y/n felt her heart squeeze in her chest as he said those words. “Why do I feel like this is going to cause a lot of pain?”

“I’m hoping it won’t.” he gestures to the couch, his heart clenching at the thought of causing her pain.

Y/n walked over to sit on her couch across from him as he sat in the arm chair to her left. “Go on.”

“Some pain might not be avoidable but I’m hoping you’ll give me a chance to fully explain everything to you.”

Y/n nodded. “I’m listening.”

“I know Peter’s spiderman. I know this because I’m Kraven.” Sergei decided to just rip the bandaid off and get it out of the way.

“The Hunter.” Y/n sat up straighter.

“Yes. . . I originally came here to New York seeking him out. His abilities make him the ultimate hunt.” He further explained nervous considering he just admitted he came here hunting her brother.

“You came to kill my brother.” Y/n narrowed her eyes at him.

“Originally yes. But that changed.” Sergei rushed out panicking on the inside.

“How so?” Y/n didn’t like the sound of him going after her brother.

“I met you.” He answered honestly.

Y/n raised a brow in question, staying guarded. “You met me?”

Sergei nodded, pleading with his eyes. “My plan was to get close to the people that are close to Spiderman. With some digging on my part I found out who he is under the mask.”

Y/n had to admit it wasn’t hard to put together if you looked hard enough, but this also meant they more than likely didn’t meet by accident. “It wasn’t a coincidence we ran into each other. Was it?”

“No.” He could see her putting it together but he still couldn’t get a read on how she was feeling. It was clear that she was keeping her emotions guard now that she knew. “I made that happen. I’ve been spying on you and others close to him for a while now. But since I’ve got to know you, it hasn’t felt right since. I didn’t plan on catching feelings for you. It wasn’t in my plans. But it happened and I don’t regret it.”

Y/n nodded real slowly as realization came over her. “The dates and getting to know each other, that was all to gain information. None of it was ever real was it? Was anything you ever told me even real?”

That was when her emotions broke through just enough that he could tell this was indeed hurting her. She felt used, but that wasn’t the case.

“It was all real. Everything I told you about me, my feelings for you, it was all real. Is real.” Sergei stressed scooting to sit on the edge of the chair. Everything between them was 100% real.

“How can I trust you? How can I trust anything you say to me?” Y/n wanted to, so badly did she want to. But this was a lot.

“Because I’m giving up my pursuit for your brother. It’d hurt you if I don’t and I don’t want to hurt you anymore than I know I already have.” He sent her a weak smile, he really didn’t want to hurt her anymore. The two just stared at each other in silence as Y/n digested all this information. “I want to earn back your trust. Please let me.”

Y/n contemplated his words for a moment. Wanting her trust. “If I’m to give you a chance- another chance. I want the full truth about you. No lies, no hiding anything.”

Sergei nodded, hopeful and willing to do anything to win back her trust. “I promise.”

Y/n looked at him before pleading with him. “Don’t make me regret this.”

Sergei leaned forward wrapping one hand around her neck pulling her to him for a kiss then leaning their foreheads against each other's.

“If we’re telling the whole truth and not hiding anything about each other, then I have a question.” Sergei mentioned pulling away but removing his hand from her neck down to hold her hand.

“Whats this question?” She furrowed her brow waiting for him to ask.

“What are you?” Silence follows the two for a moment before he continues. “You're not spider-like, like your brother.”

Y/n shook her head looking at the floor. “I’m not. Not in that way.”

Sergei could feel her tense up again, he started rubbing his thumb across the back of her hand. Y/n lifted her gaze to his. “No more secrets.”

Y/n took a deep breath before deciding that he did deserve to know. After all, he was honest about being Kraven. “When I said before that me and Peter act like twins for the most part. Well we do but we probably would be even more if we grew up together.”

Sergei furrowed his brow confused. “What do you mean?”

“When I was 8 our parents took us to a street fair, it’s no secret me and Peter are really smart. But for our age’s back then it was highly watched. Along with how athletic I was, I made a great candidate.” Y/n didn’t want to give him a short answer. He should know it all.

“Canidate for what?” Sergei didn’t like where this story sounded like it was headed.

“The RedRoom.” She stated. Y/n didn’t like to talk about it, but she trusted Sergei once she wanted to again and she was the one to say no more secrets.

Now that surprised him and it didn’t. Her fighting was professional, well trained. But the RedRoom? “You're a Widow.”

“Was. Am.” Y/n was being honest. She still used what they had taught her there everyday. It was engraved in her DNA, she’d always be a Widow.

Sergei understood that, it’d always be a part of her. “They just snatched you from the street fair?”

Y/n nodded. “When my parents were looking at a booth set up nearby.”

“How long were you there?” he couldn’t imagine losing a child like that.

“From the age of 8 to 16.” She answered, he was taking it well but he’s been through the ringer to. He could understand to an extent.

“8 Years.” He had heard stories of the RedRoom and he couldn’t help but tense thinking about all she might have gone through in her time there.

“And during that time. . . I thrived in the RedRoom and HYDRA took notice. So during that time they also trained me, and they experimented on me. Gave me my powers.” She didn’t know which she’d consider worse. HYDRA or the RedRoom. The only bonus was between being shared between the two organizations and escaping at age 16 she didn’t go through the dreaded ‘graduation’ process.

Sergei clenched his jaw, trying to control his anger. “Please tell me they're all dead.”

“Most are. Dead or in prison.” Y/n confirmed licking her lips.

Kraven decided right then and there he would find them all and kill them. Make sure they could never harm Y/n again. Even the ones in prison would face his wrath.

Sergei squeezed her hand in reassurance. “I’ll find them and finish it.”

Y/n opened her mouth to speak. “I know your methods-”

“Do you disagree?” He raised a brow and quirked his lips.

“No. Sometimes the bad guys need to die.” She couldn’t disagree, hell her and Peter fought about this often.

“I won’t let them live for what they put you through.” That was a promise he did not plan on breaking.

As odd as it sounded that brought back some of her trust in him, and it felt romantic. He didn’t want anyone getting off easy for what they did to her before he even knew her.

“You hungry?” Y/n asked after a moment of comfortable silence.

“Straving.” He said happily accepting her olive branch.

Y/n nodded, getting up to find some take out menus. “Let’s order some food and we can get to know each other for who they truly are.”

Sergei was taken by her offer so he bit his cheek to contain his smile. “It’s late. Are you inviting me to stay?”

Y/n suddenly felt shy glancing at him over her shoulder. “Do you want to? Stay?”

Of course he wanted to stay. Sergei was going to use all his time to work on mending things between them. “Absolutely.”

Words aren’t needed. You send him an unimpressed look. There’s blood on the ground, enough to turn dry earth into slick mud, to stain fallen leaves a darker shade. The tang of copper and sweat are heavy on the air. Sergei has a knife in one hand, but there’s no sign of his crossbow. Something has clearly gone wrong.

“Poachers?” you ask, and Sergei stiffens. Poachers aren’t anything new. What is new is how persistent this latest batch of intruders on Sergei’s land are being. 

“I’ve got it handled,” Sergei repeats through gritted teeth. He blinks, as the small green med kit lands in front of him. If he’s together enough to be growling at you, he’s well enough to patch himself back together.

“Needle. Thread. Bottled water. Disinfectant.” You swing your own bow down from your back, sharp-edged smile cutting at the corner of your mouth. “How many?”

“No.”

“I’m not asking for permission, Sergei.”

Silence stretches between you. For all of his posturing, all of his protectiveness, this is what Sergei likes about you. What first attracted him to you. You don’t need the big, bad Hunter to protect you. You are more than capable of handling yourself.

“Six left. Four neutralised."

You nod, allowing yourself a brief moment of indulgence to cup his cheek, fingers tangling in his hair to yank Sergei’s head back, allowing you the chance to draw him into a kiss. Blood smears your lips by the time that you pull back, Sergei’s eyes golden and hungry.

You glance down at the shredded remains of his jeans, the right leg soaked through. A trap – bear or otherwise – would explain the damage. Your expression hardens. Whoever did this didn’t trespass accidentally. They came prepared.

“Get that stitched up,” you say quietly, already turning away. “I’ll be back soon.”

“Leave it. I’ll handle the rest.”

You look back at him then, really look at him. At the blood drying beneath his fingernails, the strain at the edge of his voice, the exhaustion setting in. Even now, he’s still trying to stand between you and danger while lying here, bleeding into the dirt. Something warm and vicious twists low in your chest.

Your free hand rises to his face instead, thumb brushing carefully across his cheekbone, leaving crimson streaks behind. “Sergei… someone hurt you. You can’t ask me to stand by. I would never ask that of you.”

Your words settle heavily between you. His expression shifts, a knowing look creeping in at the edges. He understands what this tone means coming from you. You lean in close enough to brush your lips against his forehead.

“Get yourself stitched up and go home. Let me take care of the rest.”

Sergei catches your wrist before you can step fully into the trees. His grip is firm, but not enough to stop you, just enough to remind you he’s still here. “Don’t make this any worse than it already is,” he warns, voice low. “If you find them… let me handle clean-up once I’m patched up.”

You look back at him, blood still drying on his jaw, gold eyes fixed on you like he already knows you won’t listen. A small smile tugs at your mouth anyway.

“You know I always do what I have to,” you reply. Then, softer, almost fond, you say, “Try not to bleed out while I’m gone.”

You press one last kiss against the corner of his mouth before stepping back into the shadows of the trees. And somewhere ahead of you, six men haven’t realised the most dangerous thing in these woods was never Sergei at all.

Few Hours Later:

Everything was smooth on Cyrus’ private jet, that was until they hit a little bit of turbulence. Mr Teddy Bones started freaking out and he jumped out of his seat. He quickly changed back into a teddy bear as he frantically ran to Melinda with his arms in the air. Once he got to her, he was jumping up and down, begging to be picked up.

“Awe,” Melinda said, leaning over and picking him up. “It’s okay Mr Teddy Bones.” She held him against her chest as he started to shake. “Shh, don’t be scared. It’s going to be alright I promise.” 

She patted his back as she started humming a melody to him. Then she started singing to him, Mr Teddy Bones calmed down and soon, fell asleep in her arms. Sergei couldn’t help but smile at her as he imagined that’s how she would with their children. He knew Melinda would make a great mother. She would be lovely and affectionate to them like his mother was to him. They’ll grow up to be kind and caring because of her. They’ll also be simple and humble like her. He started wondering if their children would have his abilities or hers, maybe both. Children. He still couldn’t believe he went from never wanting them, to him thinking only about having them. And it started long before he told her he loved her. He started thinking of having children with her a couple weeks ago, after her sweet armor changed. 

Sergie first noticed it the night that she tried on her mother’s wedding dress. He was cuddling her in bed and he closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath through his nose to take in her scent like he normally did before going to sleep. That’s when he smelled that she was much sweeter. Not only that, but there was another scent mixed with it that he couldn’t place but it was similar to his scent. Then he started thinking of what Rosa had said about how Melinda was glowing. She was glowing but not because she was going to be married, it was because she was pregnant with his child. No doubt he got her pregnant the first time they slept together. She was ovulating during that time and he knew that because her sweet armor had a hint of earthy smell to it. 

That’s why Sergei couldn’t wait till they landed and got to his mother’s family animal reserve, and got all settled in. He had made sure to buy several pregnancy tests before they left so she can take one as soon as they arrive. Not because he wanted to see if he won their little bet. He really wanted to know if he was going to be a father. Sergei had already started thinking of names for their child. He even started thinking of nursery themes for them. He just really hoped she was, otherwise he was going to be saddened by it and disappointed in himself. But of course, he would make sure she was pregnant before they left here. After all, making children was the fun part of having them.

A Few Hours Later: Russia. 

“Wow,” Mr Teddy Bones said as he looked out the window. “So this is all owned by your mom’s side of the family?”

“Yes,” Sergei said, keeping his eyes on the road as he drove. “It’s been in the family for about seven generations.”

“And what animals are roaming around here?” Mr Teddy Bones said.

“There’s snow leopards that stay close to the mountains, but you’ll see them now again around here.” Sergei said. “There’s also elk and deer. Cape buffalo and bison. We have grey wolves and red wolves. Different types of brown bear and so many more animals I can’t begin to list.”

He smiled. “Can I eat any of them?” Mr Teddy Bones said.

“No,” Sergei said in a firm tone.

He frowned. “Awe come on pussycat,” Mr Teddy Bones said as he leaned forward between him and Melinda. “A bear needs to eat.”

He smirked. “Aren’t you full from all those men you swallow?” Sergei said, Melinda started giggling.

“Haha,” Mr Teddy Bones said, tossing his head back. “Oh my god you're sooooo freaking funnyyyyyy.” Sergei chuckled as he leaned back in his seat. “I word one thing wrong and I can’t live it down.”

“I’m just messing with you plyushevyy mishka.” Sergei said. “I plan to teach my little witch how to hunt, so whatever I catch you are more than welcome to eat it.”

“Yessss,” Mr Teddy Bones said as he got excited. “You got to get an elk for me pussycat. I haven’t had one since we left Alaska.” 

“We really should go back one day,” Melinda said as she looked out the window. “I miss it.”

“When’s the last time you were there my little witch?” Sergei said.

“The day those men took us from there.” Melinda said. 

“You never went back just for a small visit?" Sergei said.

“No,” Melinda said, shaking her head as she looked over at him. “Will it be alright if one day we went back there?”

“Of course,” Sergei said, smiling as he took her hand in his. “We can go whenever you like and stay as long as you like.” 

“Thank you my hunter,” Melinda said and she smiled.

“You're welcome my little witch,” Sergei said, kissing her hand and Mr Teddy Bones started making gagging sounds. “Shut up plyushevyy mishka.”

“You shut up pussycat.” Mr Teddy Bones said.

“Keep it up and I won’t give you that gift I got you.” Sergei said.

“What?” Mr Teddy Bones said as he raised an eyebrow. “You got me something?” Sergei nodded his head. “Say whhhhaaattttt?” 

He chuckled. “I know, surprising." Sergei said.

“Hell yeah it is.” Mr Teddy Bones said, nodding his head.

“What did you get him?” Melinda said.

“It's a surprise.” Sergei said. 

“Come on man,” Mr Teddy Bones said. “You can’t say you got me something and not give me the gift.”

“If I give it to you now,” Sergei said. “Are you going to give me and my wife some alone time?”

“Dude I plan to be in my bear form and work on my tan in those plains you mentioned earlier,” Mr Teddy Bones said.

He chuckled. “Alright,” Sergei said. “It’s behind my seat, in that compartment.”

He grabbed out a thin binder. “You got me homework or something?” Mr Teddy Bones said.

“Just opened it plyushevyy mishka.” Sergei said.

“Ohhh okay.” Mr Teddy Bones said. He opened up and paused as he took in what he was looking at. “It’s… it’s me.”

“What?” Melinda said, turning around to look at him. “What do you mean it’s you?”

“It’s information about me before you infused me with your familiar.” Mr Teddy Bones said and he started reading some of the information and he smiled. “I’m Cameron Cassmore from Modesto California. I knew Cameron sounded familiar to me.” He read some more. “My mom was Daphne Cassmore-Morgan and she married Seth Anthony Morgan.” He nodded his head. “That’s right, I remember now. She met him when I was five. He was a drug dealer, her drug dealer. Then she started running drugs for him when he bought this camper van. We ended up in Vegas where they got married. A couple months later she OD in the camper from a bad batch he had. He forced me to lure children in so he could sell them off and started traveling everywhere. When I got too old to lure children in, he had me start guarding them and that’s when he got that cargo ship.” He looked up at her. “I’m so glad you killed that bastard.” 

“Does it say anything about your real father?” Melinda said.

“Uh,” Mr Teddy Bones said and he looked through the information. “Yeah right here,” he read it. “My pops,” he chuckled a bit. “Had a really long ass name. Erik Ernest Lindgren Sullivan. He,” his face saddened. “He died in a boating accident and judging by the date, it was when my mom was still pregnant with me. It says there was a storm that came out of nowhere and before he could tie the sails down he was hit by one. He went over and he ended up drowning.” He let out a heavy sigh.

She reached into the back and placed her hand on his knee. “I’m sorry Mr Teddy Bones.” Melinda said.

“It’s alright my witch.” Mr Teddy Bones said as he put his hand on hers. 

“Does it say you have any other family on there?” Melinda said.

“Looks like mom had a sister and she passed away a couple years back.” Mr Teddy Bones said. “It doesn’t say anything about my mom’s parents, so it could be either way. Also it says grandpa from my dad’s side passed away, along with my great uncle from my grandma on his side. But,” he smiled. “It does say my grandma from my pop’s side is still alive. Tova Sullivan and she lives in Sowell Bay, Washington. Get this my witch,” he looked up at her with a big smile. “She works at an Aquarium and she helps rescue injured sea animals.”

“That’s great,” Melinda said, smiling. “Maybe you can visit her someday.”

“Ohhh I don’t know about that,” Mr Teddy Bones said, shaking his head. “I don’t want to give her a heart attack when she sees me.”

“You won’t give her a heart attack Mr Teddy Bones.” Melinda said.

“I might,” Mr Teddy Bones said. “I mean, look at me, my witch. I’m a freaking familiar. Will, more than just a familiar. Hard to explain that one.”

“You don’t have to tell her your a familiar or anything like that,” Sergei said. “Just say hi, my name is Cameron and I’m your long lost grandson. I’m the one that Sergei told you about a few days ago when he was looking for relatives for me. He scheduled us to have a meeting after his honeymoon so we can hangout for a week to get to know each other. Before I have to go back to work as a personal bodyguard to a wealthy family in London which is the cover story he gave me.” 

“You did what pussycat?!” Mr Teddy Bones said. 

He chuckled. “You heard me plyushevyy mishka,” Sergei said. “Her number is in the file so you can call her when we get settled in if you like.”

“I knew you loved me, you big softy,” Mr Teddy Bones said as he messed up Sergei’s hair.

“Fuck off plyushevyy mishka,” Sergei said, shoving his hand away. Mr Teddy Bones chuckled as he went back to reading his information. He looked over, seeing Melinda smiling at him. “What my little witch?”

“Nothing.” Melinda said. She wrapped her arms around his and laid her head against his shoulders. “That was really sweet of you, my hunter.” 

“I have my moments.” Sergei said as he went back to the road. “In another hour we should be there. When we are,” he grinned as he looked back at her. “We get to see who wins our bet.” She giggled as he looked back at the road. “It will be me by the way, my little witch.” She giggled again as she shook her head. 

Over An Hour Later

Once they made it to the dome that Sergei and his family used to stay at when they visited, they quickly got settled in. And the first thing Sergei did was hand her a pregnancy test. She smiled as she headed to the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Melinda took the test and left it on the sink, and she stepped out to wait with Sergei and Mr Teddy Bones. They were all anxious as they waited for the three minutes to be up. When the alarm went off she used her magic to bring the test to them. They looked down at the test together, seeing the results.

“Oh my god,” Melinda said, and she smiled.

“Holy shit.” Mr Teddy Bones said, smiling.

“I knew it.” Sergei said, smiling as he looked up at Melinda. “You're pregnant.” 

After the results, Sergei and Mr Teddy Bones went overboard being protective of Melinda. They didn’t want her to lift anything or run around doing anything. Sergei didn’t want to take her hunting anymore, fearing she would get hurt. They just wanted her to sit down, feet up, and relax. They were acting like she was about to pop the baby out at any moment. When they sat down together, Sergei would have one arm on her shoulder and the other resting on her stomach. Mr Teddy Bones would be in his teddy bear form, laying across her stomach above Sergei’s hand. 

Melinda did love how caring they were but she felt like she was being smothered by them. She started using her illusions more so she could roam the land to get some alone time. She would sit up high in the trees to enjoy the cold breeze. Or she would sit in the garden and bathe in the sun’s rays. Or she would go to the river and swim around for a while. But eventually Sergei and Mr Teddy Bones started noticing and would panic as they searched for her. They both acted like parents that just lost their child in the mall or something. She always found it hilarious since they both forget they could just use their nose to find her. 

After a couple of her weeks of them doing that to her, they got the hint to give her some breathing room. Sergei took her on hunts like he said he would. He taught her how to track down animals and make traps for them. When she delivered the death blow and they went to collect the animal, he taught her his prayer he would say to thank the animal for their sacrifice so he could survive. Then he taught her how to skin and cook them, even taught her how to catch fish with her bare hands. She really loved learning everything, but not as much as Mr Teddy Bones loved eating everything. 

Then when it came to her and Sergei having alone time while Mr Teddy Bones sunbath, he was gentle with her. Just like when he confessed his feelings for her. Slow and steady was his pace to make sure he wouldn’t hurt her or the baby when they made love. Of course she didn’t mind that, she loved it when he took his time with her. Then afterwards he would do his usual aftercare, rubbing her feet and back. Making sure she had everything she needed while she rested. But the one thing she didn’t like, the one thing she couldn’t stand that Sergei and Mr Teddy Bones both were doing, was making her eat her veggies.

“Come on my little witch,” Sergei said as he pushed the plate back towards her. “Just try it.”

“Yeah,” Mr Teddy Bones said. “Salads are great for you and the kiddo.” He took a piece of lettuce and ate it. “See? It’s yummy.” She shook her head. “Just put some ranch on it. You love ranch.”

“I already eat carrots, corn, cucumbers, and potatoes.” Melinda said, she pushed the plate away from her. “Isn’t that good enough?”

“No,” Sergei said, pushing the plate back towards her. “You need to eat more greens and other veggies for our little one.” She crossed her arms and pouted. “You don’t even have to eat the whole thing, just half.” She grunted as she shook her head. “Please my little witch for me?”

She scoffed. “Fine.” Melinda said. She uncrossed as she leaned forward. “You both are going to die a very painful death by my hands for this.” They chuckled. “I’m just eating half.”

“That’s all I’m asking.” Sergei said. She picked up her fork and slowly picked at it. Then she took a bite. “Not bad right?” She grunted, making him chuckle. She slowly started eating it as they kept their eyes on. Then he tilted his head, seeing something was off a bit. He tilted his head back when he realized what it was. “She’s an illusion isn’t she?”

“Yep,” Mr Teddy Bones said, nodding his head. 

He sighed. “Great,” Sergei said.

“Now the question is,” Mr Teddy Bones said as he looked around. “Where did she go?”

He took a deep breath through his nose and he immediately picked up her scent. “There,” Sergie said. He turned to the kitchen island and Mr Teddy Bones looked over. “I know you're there my little witch. I also smell the ice cream you're eating. Chocolate chip, if I’m right.” The illusion of her at the table disappeared and red mist appeared on the kitchen island, then disappeared. She was sitting there, eating chocolate chip ice cream straight from the tub. “Really?”

“Don’t judge me,” Melinda said, with a full mouth of ice cream. They chuckled as they shook their heads. “I can’t help it, the baby wanted it.”

He smiled. “Is that right?” Sergei said, and she nodded her head. “Come on my little witch.” He got up and went over as he held his hand out. “Won’t you give me the ice cream and sit back down at the table, and try the salad.”

“I wouldn’t if I were you pussycat.” Mr Teddy Bones said, Sergei looked over at him with a glare. “I’m just saying. They always said never take food from a pregnant woman because they get nasty. Do you really want to see how nasty a pregnant witch would get if you take her food? I sure in hell don’t.”

“It will be fine, plyushevyy mishka. It’s not like she’s going to hurt me.” Sergei said. He turned back to her. “Isn’t that right my little witch?” Her eyes glowing bright red and she let out a deep growl that rivaled one of his own. “On second that,” he slowly backed up and sat back down. “Won’t you just enjoy your ice cream my little witch.” Her eyes turned back to normal and she did a little dance as she ate her ice cream, happy as can be. 

“I bet your life flashed before your didn’t it?” Mr Teddy Bones said.

“Yes it did.” Sergei said. 

He chuckled. “Told you pussycat,” Mr Teddy Bones said and he started eating the salad. “Never take food from a pregnant woman.”

Two Months Later:

Melinda was sleeping beautifully in Sergei’s arms. Though he was awake and ready to start the day, he wasn’t going to get him. He didn’t want to wake Melinda since she’s been tired lately, no doubt because of the pregnancy. But also, he always loved having her curled up to him. Feeling the warmth of her body and heart beating against him. Hearing her light breathing, her gentle sighs when she shifts around. But what Sergei especially loved was when… He let out a deep growl as Melinda stretched out. Is when she did her morning stretch in bed. All because no matter what, she rubs up against him. Rather it was her leg, hand or in this case, her ass, he loved it. 

Sergei started kissing her neck and she softly sighs as smiled in her sleep. He started rubbing her hip bone, causing Melinda to start rubbing her ass up against him more. He growled against her neck and he started flicking his tongue lightly across her skin. She let out a gentle moan as her body shivered. He started sucking on her neck as he raised her leg up and placed it over his. Sergei put his leg between hers as he moved his hips upwards, sliding his hard cock inside of her. Melinda let out a gasp as her eyes opened up for a moment before she closed them again. He slowly moved his hips as Melinda moved one hand behind her and into Sergei’s hair. She started playing with his hair, giving it gentle tug as she moaned as he moved in and out of her. 

He moved his hands around, one caressed her breast and the other one was between her legs. He started rubbing her clit, causing her to gasp and pushed up against him, making him go deep inside of her. Sergei let out a groan as she started rolling her hips against his. Then Melinda moved around onto her stop as he moved with her. He sat up as she propped herself up on all fours. Sergei took a hold of her hips and started moving her up and down on his cock, making them both moan. They closed their eyes, enjoying the feel of one as their bodies moved with one another. Soon their bodies started to tense up together. 

Melinda gripped the sheets as he gripped her hips tighter as he picked up the pace. Her legs started to shake, her clit and walls started to pulsate and she cried out his name as she came. He pushed in deep and rolled his hips as he came deep instead of her. Both of them let out heavy sighs as they finished cumming together. They panted as their bodies started to come down. After a while Sergei pulled out of her causing them both to sigh again. He helped her lay back down on her side and he laid on his side, facing her. He placed his hand on her face, gently stroking her cheek as they both smiled at each other.

“Good morning my little witch,” Sergei said.

“Good morning my hunter.” Melinda said. “And thank you for the wake up call.”

He chuckled lightly. “It was my pleasure,” Sergei said. The dome slightly shook. “Seems like plyushevyy mishka is still asleep.”

The dome shook again. “Seems like it,” Melinda said and she stretched out. “We should wake him up before he snoozes louder and things start falling off the shelves again.”

“Yes we should,” Sergei said and he let out a soft sigh. “I really wish we didn’t have to leave here.”

She put her hand on his. “I wish the same thing.” Melinda said. “Perphase after everything is said and done we come back here. It would make a great place to raise our children after all.”

He smiled. “It would,” Sergei said. He kissed her gently and spoke against her lips. “I love you my little witch.” He kissed her again. “You and our little one.”

“We love you too, my hunter.” Melinda said. He kissed her once more as he started moving on top of her and placing her on her back. Then he stopped kissing her and he let out a deep growl of frustration as he pulled away from her. “Take it Mr Teddy Bones is coming up here.”

“Yes,” Sergei said and he grinned. “And I’m going to teach him a lesson not to come into our room.”

“What are you going to do?” Melinda said. He got off the bed and covered her up. He faced the door and crossed his arms as he kept on grinning. “Sergei, get some clothes on before he,” the door swung open.

“Dear god man!” Mr Teddy Bones yelled and he slammed the door shut. “You can fucking strangle someone with that thing!” 

He chuckled as he heard Mr Teddy Bones running back downstairs. “Bet he’ll think twice now about coming into our room without knocking.” Sergei said as he turned to her and saw her grinning. “What?”

“You really could strangle someone with that dick of yours.” Melinda said, they started laughing. “Now come here,” she uncovered herself. “Let’s have some more fun before we have to head out.”

He licked his lips. “You don’t have to tell me twice,” Sergei said.
