After returning to the Mansion after spending a couple hours outside with the new baby at Safe Place, Mary was wired. She had the worse baby fever, and it didn't help feeling like the only woman in the world that wanted a baby but couldn't have one, literally, couldn't have a child of her own. There had to be a book about this process somewhere. She needed to find all the information first, then go to Rhage with the inquiry.
Mary searched and searched the old books in the Library and finally came across something interesting. This race didn't have any known built standards like the humans did for adoption, which might make the process easier, if Rhage wanted to as much as she did. Mary sat back in her chair and sighed. He'd be such a great Father. They hadn't talked about it much, but he had to have noticed her sad eyes whenever Nalla was around. Ever since she mated Rhage, she felt like something was missing between them.
Mary looked down at the pages of the book in front of her. They were old stories of families back in the day. This one particular story was about a male whose shellan had died during childbirth. He didn't want to keep the young, so he gave it to his doggen, which he fired from his company so he wouldn't have to see his young ever again. Mary sat back after rereading the stories. They all seemed to go to either the doggen, or the humans that knew about vampires. Which shocked her. And thinking about it, Riona went through a very similar thing! She was raised by doggen, and not her parents. This had to be a sign.
Mary pulled out her cell phone and called Rhage. He would be upstairs in the room, probably asleep. But she prayed he would answer. After no answer she slipped her phone back into her pocket and ran out of the library with the books. She had three or four. She was going to come to him. Mary sprinted up the stairs, taking two at a time, she was shocked she hadn't fallen as she reached the top. She was inside their room in a matter of seconds, the door slamming behind her. Mary ran to the bed, where her naked husband was half uncovered. Wasn't that a site. Mary smirked and then decided now, or never. "Rhage! Wake up!"

Rhage was having some nice dreams right now about Mary. Today was his first day off in a couple weeks. And he was taking full advantage. Step one ... catch up on some much needed shut eye.
He had heard the phone go off ... but ... it wasn't the ringtone that said that it was an emergency. No need to wake up. So he fell back to sleep. Though ... he didn't know how much later he heard Mary's voice. All she had to do was whisper his name ... and he was sure that if he was dead then he would have woken up, "Hmmmm, wazsup?"
He was a bit groggy as he slowly sat up in the bed ... the blanket sliding down so that his hips were uncovered ... and well she would get a teasing view of his groin ... the blanket covering ...but barely ... and generously outlining. He rubbed at his eyes and smiled at her.

Mary blushed as his full erection came into view under the sheet. He woke up like that every afternoon and it was so much fun. Mary coughed and shook her head. More important things, more important... yes, more important things! Mary dropped the books, except the the last one. "Read this!"
Mary flipped open the book to an old story of a building that held infants without families. It ends telling the reader that the place no longer exists because children stopped showing up. It was the equivalent of an orphanage in the human world. She couldn't stand still as Rhage read. She was leaning from one foot to the other. Would he get was she was saying? She pushed the book out of Rhages hands and then quickly picked up one off the bed and opened it. "Okay, wait, read this..."
She opened the book to the story she read in the library, about the male who gave away his son to his doggen. There were tons of stories of the children. "It's like Riona..."
Mary didn't know how to ask. She hoped the books would help, but they really didn't. They didn't have a book on adoption here, and she had no idea if they did anything like that in this world, especially when births were extremely hard on the women. "I want a baby."
She just said it. Literally, those words just came out of her mouth. Mary put her hands together as if she was praying. She raised them to her mouth, resting them against it.

Rhage would rub the sleep out of his eyes ... and he wondered what it was she seemed so ... anxious about. He looked at the book ... and he was sure that if he was running on all mental cylinders .. he might have understood what she wanted ... but not while he was still waking up. "Alright?" She pulled out another book ... and he would read it ... it was starting to dawn on him what she wanted ... but he wasn't quite there.
Then of course she blurted it out. He blinked ... a bit shocked. Because of the chemo ... she was infertile. So he thought they had resigned themselves to ... having each other. Which he wasn't going to complain ... it could be a lot worse ... but he had to admit ... that he would have liked to have kids with her. But he would rather have her. Now ... she was talking about ... adoption ... a way to have kids.
"Kids ... and ... adoption." He wasn't unhappy, just processing through the information .... and trying to figure how he felt about it all ... and to see where she was with this. It was going to be ... a big conversation. He looked to her and he smiled, "Are you thinking of adopting a baby? Or someone more mature?" There were a lot of other questions ... but he would start off with that.

Mary started pacing. "A baby..."
She started rubbing her hands up and down her arms as she paced. Would he go for it? She stopped and looked at him. "...a boy."
Mary smiled, a glimmer of hope showing through her eyes. He was starting to wake up, she could tell from the deflation of his cock. Which meant she had his attention, on the matter at hand. Depending on his words... she might make that go back up.

Rhage would think ... he was looking down at the blanket ... as he just ... went through his thoughts and feelings. He knew that ... there would be a lot more talking and soul searching to get through everything that they wanted .... and then .... they would have to talk about how they wanted to parent ... to be a team in everything.
He took a deep breath as he looked Mary in the eyes and smiled, "Alright ... well lets get Nalla a little playmate." He smiled as he kissed her, "Though ... do you want a boy or girl? I know you said boy ... but I don't want you to feel ... pressured into a gender or anything."

Mary practically assulted Rhage on the bed. With a big jump she wrapped her arms around him and tackled him onto the mattress, flipping them so he was on top looking down at her. "I fucking love you so much!"
Tears were in her eyes, she was so happy. She couldn't believe it. He had actually said yes? Mary kissed him hard, breaking the kiss to look into his eyes. "Wait, are you sure? I know I want a boy... and if you're sure... I have something else to tell you."
Mary smiled big and kissed his collarbone softly. If he would answer yes then she would break the news to him about the boy at Safe Place.

Rhage laughed as she tackled him to the bed .... well he didn't have to be tackled .. but he didn't mind being on the bed with his shellan, "And I love you as well!" She kissed him and well .. he had to admit that his bonding scent was coming out as he held her close ... it may not be a sexual moment ... yet anyway, but it was an intimate one. "I'm sure ... and if you want a boy ... then that is more than fine." He didn't honestly care about the gender.
She would start to talk about a boy at safe place. He blinked ... a child ... right now basically. He swallowed, "I think we have to talk to the king and queen first ... there isn't really any kind of ... official adoption process ... and we ... need baby stuff right ... food ... diapers ..... um ..... blankets." He hadn't looked after a child before .... so he had to admit .. .he felt a little scared since ... well he didn't want to embarass himself ... or more importantly harm a child ... their child.

Mary smiled as Rhage started listing off things they needed. "I think we'll find all those things in one day if we have to."
She thought about the King and Queen. Would they let them bring a child into their home? Wrath was going through this no kid kick, but that would just be for his own kid right? He loved Nalla, hell, everyone loved her. Mary leaned forward and kissed Rhage to distract herself. She laid back down and looked up at him. "What about if you just meet him first, and then we go to the King?"
Mary was holding onto Rhage's arms, and as she asked him to meet the boy first, she tightened her grip without thinking. She was so nervous inside.

Rhage would nod ... but the issue was .. he didn't know all of what they needed ... and .... well he didn't know what kind of father that he would make.
He smiled to Mary and he would nod, "Alright... well lets go meet our potential son .. maybe he won't like me ... or think that I'm a clutz." He would take a deep breath ... and he was worried ... excited .. but well he knew Mary .. and she was going to be an AMAZING mother. At least the child would have one good parent ... and one ... beast possessed one with a job with a very high mortality rate.

Mary sighed, holding Rhage's face. "You know, you're going to be the best Father in the world. You make me so happy."
She nuzzled his neck and then kissed it. Looking at his neck it reminded her of another reason why she wanted a child. "Plus, he'll be like you. You two will always have one another, if anything would happen..."
Mary held back a tear and slipped out from under Rhage's body. She wrapped her arms around herself.

Rhage would look to her and smile ... and he knew that she honestly thought so ... and he would be a liar if he said that it didn't help ... but it didn't make it all go away either. "Well I'm glad you think so ... I just ... don't know ... I've never really ever ... even helped take care of kids." He would take a deep breath as he kissed her back ... as they headed down to the garage.
He couldn't imagine how hard this was on her ... it was the biggest reason most brothers didn't get mated ... it was really hard on the females ... since ... an early death was almost inevitable. "And you will always have someone as well." She slipped her arms from him ... and he would move forward ... and give her a kiss .. picking her up so she was up to his height. "Now ... how about we go see the boy. And we'll talk names that we like."

Mary got excited, but then her face fell. "But it's in the afternoon.... we have to wait til tonight. Want to stop by after your rotation? I can be here, waiting for you... and until then, I can think of something to distract us until you have to leave?"
Mary smirked and kissed Rhage's nose softly. Would he agree to going tonight before or after his rotation? He wanted to go, but would he even want to stay for very long? She had hope.

Rhage would smile to her and he could tell that she was excited ... and .. he must have really been out of it ... not to realize that it was during the day with the whole sun shining and everything. Which wouldn't have been all that good for him. He would raise an eyebrow to her though .. and chuckle, "Oh ... and what are you thinking for a distraction? And we'll go before my rotation ... I'll just start a little late .. and get back a little late. is all."
Mary kissed his nose .. and he would chuckle as he rubbed it .. it always got a bit itchy when she did that. She smelled worried though ... and he was thinking as he rubbed at his nose, "So ... when the sun goes down we'll head there ... but for now ... do you have a picture of him? Or any kind of names that you like for a boy?"

Mary smiled big and pulled out her phone, revealing a picture she had previously taken of him. She really hoped that he felt something, just from the picture. But she knew that was pretty far-fetched. "Here... ignore the girl clothes. They didn't have any boy clothes for him, so I bought him some..."
Mary laughed when she looked at the picture again. He was the cutest thing she'd ever seen. But, she had no idea about names. "They don't know his name since he was dropped off one night, left outside their doors. They just call him baby boy. I really don't know anything about Vampire names..."
