New Beginnings

-josh closes his eyes as he speaks letting the injection make him talk this time- "b... because i was so scared it would break us apart... a... and my love for you is 100% real" -he then slowly turns his head to look away with a sigh keeping his eyes closed-

-bodolf rolls his eyes with a quiet chuckle as her paw keeps his head in place letting it as he remains still under her-

"You don't want kids at all..?" -Scarlet sniffling as she slides off the table, looking away she glances at the door-

-josh keeps his head turned away with a sigh remaining silent as he thinks-

"Answer me Josh." -Scarlet mumbling as she grabs her jacket and puts it on, using her knife to cut Josh free of the straps she sits on the sofa-

- josh sniffles- "eventually yes."

-Scarlet sliding her knife away she folds her arms as she sits on the sofa- "I see"

- josh keeps his head turned away as he speaks with tears forming in his eyes- "th... that day you held me on your sofa... I... I was thinking that... I... I have a lot to fix with you before making a big commitment like a baby... I... I want to know we are ok before I make any bog changes to your life because I hate my self if i messed up with you... I... I would not live with my self knowing I had lost you and any chance of being in my child's life...

-Scarlet gripping the handle of her knife as she looks at her feet- "Do you think I am that much of a bitch that I would keep you away from your own child if we had an argument or split up? Even Okami doesn't do that with Bodolf. Do you think so little of me?"

- josh sniffles shaking his head deciding to think before he said another word-

"only if I thought you were a danger. If you were going harm me or the baby, then I would keep you away" -Scarlet grabbing a cushion she places it on the arm of the sofa while laying down- "Get some sleep. You lost a lot of blood, you are going to be drowsy and need rest."

- josh nods as he quietly sniffles, tears rolling down his cheek as he remains looking away-

-Scarlet standing she grabs a blanket off the side, walking over to Josh she covers him with it, leaning down she kisses his cheek softly- "I am not going anywhere okay? We will talk after you have had a rest "

- josh nods as he closes his eyes keeping his head turned-

-Scarlet sighing as she walks back to the sofa and lays down, covering herself with a blanket-

- josh looks at his bandaged arm quietly crying-

-bodolf starts to whimper in his sleep as well as shake-

"Whats wrong Josh?" -Scarlet sitting up as she stretches a little-

-Okami flicking her ears in her sleep, she nuzzles Bodolf gently-

- bodolf starts to growl in fear in his sleep, the feeling of okami's paw on his head the only thing keeping him still-

- josh sniffles as he keeps his eyes closed and head turned- "it... it is nothing"

-Okami slowly waking with a yawn she perks her ears as she hears Bodolf-

"Please tell me..."-Scarlet pulling a chair over she sits down, gently wiping his tears away-

- bodolf starts to shake and whimper. His ears lowering in in fear as he sleeps-

-josh turns his head slightly away as he speaks- "I... I don't want to lose you"

-Okami gently nipping his ear as she whispers- "Shh my love.. shh"

-Scarlet eyeing him with a quiet sigh she gently strokes his cheek- "You won't. get some sleep okay?"

- josh nods as he lets her stroke his cheek-

- bodolf jumps awake with a yelp squirming softly as he tries to move his head shaking-

"Sleep." -Scarlet standing she kisses his cheek softly, walking to the sofa she lays down and covers herself with the blanket-

-Okami gently nuzzling him as she speaks softly- "You are safe.."

- bodolf whines still in his episode trying to lift his head as he starts to squirm looking around with fear in his eyes-

- josh slowly closes his eyes as he drifts to sleep. The exhaustion of bodolf attack catching up to him-

-Scarlet glancing at Josh she sighs and then slowly falls asleep-

-Okami huffing as she places her paw on his head and whispers- "Calm down. It is me. You are safe."

-bodolf perks his ears as he becomes still under her paw panting as he shakes-
