"I'm not going on any suicide missions, Adrian. Can you stay objective?" Even as he said it, he knew that Adrian couldn't. He got up, and crossed the room. He took Adrian's hands. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lay everything on you like this. I'm not asking you to make a choice right now, but yes, I would like to have a child with you, because... because I want us to have a family, because you'll be a great father."
He hugged Adrian, rubbing his back. "I did what I had to, and prayed that you would come back in one piece. Besides, you promised that you'd come back; I had to believe in that. I had to believe that you would do what needed to be done to come back to me."
