"And how many times have I died so far?"

"Keep talking and I'm sure you'll finally something smart," she said, being just as playful

" None... but you might, and that scares me.. " She hugged him slightly tighter, " I want our child to know their father. "

" Sure will. " He said with a laugh.

"I'm a doctor. I can take care of myself." But obviously you can't take care of your siblings! They're both dead because of you, a voice in his head screamed at him

"Of course you will," Alaska smirked, shaking her head

" I know you can, and I know we will get through this, but I can't help but to worry about it all.. "


" So, Alaska the all knowing. " He said in a teasing tone. " Would you be mad if I went on a long trip alone? " his voice turned serious at that.

"You're going to be a mother. You're supposed to be worrying about everything. If you're not, something's not right. And besides, everything's gone from normal to apocalyptic in a short amount of time. I would be worrying too, but I'm not smart enough for that."

Alaska thought about it for a moment. "Depends. Where are you going and how long are you going to be gone?"

" I actually shouldn't be worrying so much.. it could affect the child if I worry or stress so much.. " She said with a sigh, " I know, my life just got spun onto it's head randomly out of nowhere but.. at least I met you. You are an amazing person and I am glad you are here for me. "

" About a week, and I plan to go into a dangerous part of town. "

"Yeah, I'm glad I am able to be here for you. And if you ever, ever need anything, let me know, all right?"

"Promise that you'll return home safely. Or, at least, alive."

" I will, thank you Maveric.. I mean I don't want to be a bother though so I likely won't ask. I am kind of getting used to being alone. " Once she said it, she wished she hadn't.

" I will return home alive and safe, I promise you. "

Maveric flinched as if she had hurt him physically. "Yeah...sorry about that. I just...I don't know. I almost wish Ava had never come back so I could've been there for you more..." Almost. How subtle the phrasing.

Alaska nodded, not quite sure if she believed that. "All right, then."

( Lol to make Alaska worry a ton he is gone for 2 weeks )

Rose noticed what he had said and exactly how he had said it, and pretended not to mind. " Well, if you didn't want to be here for me I would be completely fine on my own. " She said back, her tone even and calm while her eyes cold and harsh.

" Besides, It will be worth it. "
