Reaper's POV

My eyes opened to an empty bed. The sheets slid off my body as I stretched, earning satisfying pops. My bones clicking into place. Before standing up, I looked at the smooth golden band under my ring finger. A smile grew on my face as I thought about the best decision of my life.

I stood up and walked down the stairs. Geno was cutting ingredients in the kitchen while Fresh finished off his weekend homework. A pot of Red Soup was boiling on the stove.

Me: That smells really good.

Geno: Oh, good afternoon, Love.

Me: Afternoon?

Geno: You slept all morning.

I walked behind the island to be closer to my spouse. Wrapping my arms around him, I rested my chin on his shoulder. He lifted his hand to cup my cheek. Suddenly, Fresh looked up

Fresh: Um, bro.

Geno: Yeah?

Fresh: Have you come up with a name for the baby?

We shook our heads.

Fresh: Do you even know the gender?

I denied his question. We haven't done anything with the name or gender.

Me: We should probably get that taken care of, shouldn't we?

Geno nodded and then pushed me off. He continued cooking. I walked to the other side of the counter. As I passed Fresh, my eyes caught something. Laying on the stool next to him, was a leather jacket. A blood red rose shown on the back.

Me: Where did you get that?

I asked nonchalantly. Fresh looked up at me and said calmly.

Fresh: One of my friends left it here.

Me: That Crow kid, if I remember?

He nodded. He must've not noticed but he was blushing a light shade of purple. When he finally did notice, he quickly turned back to his page and started writing again.

Sitting at the island, I opened my journal to flip through the several pages that held many collections of notes from over the years. They varied from subject to subject. A few was research about the signers of the assassination law. Others were about the early development of my company, RenRik.

A bowl was set in front of me. I looked up to find Geno giving me a small smile before getting himself a bowl. He sat down next to me and kissed my cheek. As I ate, I thought about something.

Me: You should meet Diana. She'll love you.

Geno: I'd love to meet her. However, I want to make a small stop first.

Fresh seemed to know what he was talking about.

(Time Skip)

After a thirty minute drive, we stopped at a store located in a smaller part of town. This is the part of town where middle class people live.

I watched over Geno as he looked at many bouquets. Each filled with a different assortment of flowers. He eventually chose a simple bunch of clipped roses. I gave him a confused look.

Geno: I'll tell you in a little bit, Reaper.

We turned around to see Fresh holding a pink flower. The one he chose.

(Time Skip)

Geno told me to stop the car. I looked at our surroundings and noticed that we were at a cemetery. Fresh and him got out. I followed them to a beautifully carved grave stone. Geno got on his knees and carefully set the flowers on the tomb.

Geno: Hello, mama.

'It's his mother.'

I observed the words written within the stone. Her first name seemed to have worn away because of the elements. I could only read the last name.

'Queen.'

Used to be Geno's last name but now, he's Geno Ren. Fresh stood by with the flower in his hands. He had a complex expression on his face. His shades covered his eyes so I couldn't exactly make it out. I heard him silently exhale a small breath before walking up towards it. Fresh followed the same steps as Geno took. I watched them speak with the spirit of their mother and admired the way they did it. They did it as a family. Then they stood up and walked over to me.

Geno: We're ready for leave.

I realized that he was crying. I enveloped him in a hug which caused him to break down. Fresh patted his back.

Me: You must have been very close to your mother.

Geno: I was. We were very close.

He said between sobs. I'm assuming that visiting his mother's grave was very depressing.

Me: Fresh, you can drive right?

Fresh: I have my drivers license.

I quickly texted him directions to Diana's home.

Me: Are you willing to drive? I'm going to comfort Geno.

Fresh: Sure.

Me: However, you crash my car and there will be consequences.

His face faltered and I laughed while putting my hand on his shoulder.

Me: I'm just joking.

(Time Skip)

I knocked on the door of Diana's home. She opened it and smiled. She always knew it was me.

Diana: It has been awhile, dearie. And you seem to have friends.

She let us into her house. Her trusty guide dog, Ragnor, was sprawled out on the floor. He got up and saw Fresh. They seemed to take a liking to each other. She sat down on the couch and patted the spots next to her.

Diana: Tell me, Reaper, how was the wedding?

Me: How did you know?

Diana: You and the other one...

She pointed towards Geno.

Diana: seem to have a very special bond.

I laughed lightly.

Yes we do

A Quick Discussion

I'm going to take a small break so I can focus on my studies. However, I want to tell you some things before I go.

One, Geno and Ink can't use magic as it might harm their children.

Two, Geno can't use magic anyway because of how weak his body is. Since he was incredibly ill as a child, he never really healed. This gives him a really high chance of danger if he uses magic.

Three, .... I actually don't have anything else. Whelp um... Love ya

Bye
