(Really sorry I disappeared for a bit. I was pretty sick for a while, but I'm going to try and get back into my RPs when I have time!)

I just blink in silence for a moment, as Naethan looks nervous waiting for a reply. I set down my glass of water, smiling calmly and nodding my head.

"In all honesty, I'm open to any kind of relationship you'd like to have with me. If you want us to be friends, that's fine. You want me to leave you alone after you give birth, i can do that as well. I won't deny i find you attractive though, and am interested if you want to pursue a romantic relationship." I move to hold his hand. "Whatever you're comfortable with. "

I looked down at our hands. Maybe, this could be my second chance at happiness. Sure, Essa knocked me up, but if I'm having children, and she's going to be there...then, I'm ready for the long haul - 18 years of it, or...until they reach adulthood since they're part alien - are they part alien? Got to ask Essa. It's never going to stop amazing me that I'm pregnant. A smile slowly crossed my face, and I looked at her, her eyes looking at me in fondness. "I want a second chance at happiness, and maybe - hopefully, with you, we can be together for the long haul in this pregnancy and beyond that, too. I would really like for us to go on a date, Essa - see where this goes for us. I feel a connection towards you - yeah, it's compatibility, but I want us to be more than that. I have a question that could either make me sad or happy. Are our children part alien? Do they have my DNA? It would suck if I'm essentially just a vessel, and I won't feel a connection towards them - have a family bond, you know?" I squeezed her hand a little, waiting for her response.

(You're good! I was away for awhile, too. I sent you a message explaining why)
