( Ouch, but no I want more pain that's too easy and Victoria isn't good with secrets. Victoria tells Victor right.... and she ends up miscarrying. Not to mention the kids would be born at different times. )

" At least she had that choice, I wasn't allowed even to break. Was do or die out there. Worst part was, I didn't want to die. "

" Naaah I don't want to touch those bodies.. "

(True, and that's a good plan. Poor Victor...and then Victoria tries to kill herself, kind of like how Victor tried to kill himself. What if Victoria succeeds? Almost?)

"Well then you had a reason for living. Because you didn't want to die. Not all of us have that. Lucky ones even have friends or family still alive."

Maveric rolled his eyes and started to clean. "Some help you are," he said playfully

( Oh yeeeesss perfect! )

" Well yeah, I had something I didn't want to give up and that was my family. " Without Victor realizing it he was slightly leaning into Victoria.


Rose was now facing away from the area, shivering, " I freeze up seeing blood. "

"My family's pretty useless if you ask me," Victoria said, laughing a little. She wanted to snuggle up to Victor but decided against it

Maveric chuckled. "I'm a doctor. I'm used to it by now." He continued cleaning

" My pa was a rancher and my ma was a lawyer, my pa was a brick of a man and mean as he was he was a great man. My ma was a sweet lady who was always very understanding. They were nice people. "


" Lucky you "

"Cool. Our parents were divorced, and our dad was a mechanic and our mom was...a mom. She was a stay at home mom, never worked for real a day in her life, unless it was house chores." She put her head on his shoulder, sighing. "I kind of miss them..."

"Right?" He said sarcastically

Victor knew what that felt like and put his arm around Victoria, pulling her closer. " Yeah... both mine are dead. I wish either one was here with me right now, I would given near anything for that.. well maybe it is better like this. My ma would be so disappointed in me "

" Yeah very, and ya know what you are going to deal with the undead better too. " Rose joked.

"I can't stand disappointing anyone, it makes me sad...the disappointment card always hurt me more than my mom being angry at me. She never really said that she was proud of me, either. The only time I can remember that she did was when I decided to stay with her instead of going with Dad."

Maveric's muscles flexed as he was cleaning. "Thanks. The question is: is there anything that you're good at?"

" I am sorry to hear that, but I know what you mean. My father was so horrible and trust me, he never was proud of me. He wasn't proud of anyone. Not even when I tamed my first stallion or build a barn all by myself. " Victor said with a dry laugh. " He was a piece of work is what he was. "

" A few things actually, I am just a bit too weak to do them right now. "

"How could he not be proud of you for those things? And when I went to visit Alaska, Dad was always telling her how proud he was of her...it wasn't fair."

"I know, I'm just giving you a hard time." He finished cleaning
