A Simple Message: Romeo and Patricia

[Miss Blonde]

Patricia just looked into the burning red eyes of Romeo, her piercing angelic blues staring back into him the two locked in a gaze. Romeo was hurt, he had done things he wasn't proud of, failed to protect the ones he loved. Sparks began to fly and Patricia jumped a bit when the TV exploded. She expected glass to hit her but nothing happened. The glass just floated there. It didn't matter though, Romeo needed her.

She ran a hand through his hair as she sat upon his lap and kissed him on his lips gently. She then put her forehead up to his and let it rest shushing him in a comforting tone

"Sshhhhh, it's ok. You did all you could. I love you no matter what Romeo, you are my life. And I need to tell you something." Patricia said in a low tone keeping her forehead against his.

She gently placed his clenched up fist and relaxed it slowly. She put it slowly against her stomach and let him feel the new life inside her. A child that they had created.

"You are not weak Romeo, you are the strongest man I know. And you're going to keep being strong, because we are going to have another baby." She brushed another hand through his messy black hair and put on a weak smile. She was scared, so very scared

Romeo's widened as he as his hand turned from a fist to a open palm against her stomach. The eyes of his changed colors so rapidly it was impossible to tell his mood. The force swirled around him as his mind raced on what he knew was happening. His apprentice was off on a mission of her own, a person he said he loved, and meant it, but here he was breaking that love, and trust. He was torn in half in what to do with this situation, and worse yet, he knew what was happening to him inside. He was changing, and not to a brighter out look on life. His mind raced so fast he became dizzy. There was something he had kept from everyone but Katar, though she understood, somewhat when he told her. The poison still ran in his veins, still pumped the darkness deep inside him, and he thought he had control of it, and he probably had control of it. The more this war went on, though, the more he lost, finding he needed that extra darkness to fight back something darker.
He gently stood up, and placed her down on the chair.
What would happen next wouldnt be pretty, his eyes dulled out. His face expressionless, but inside, he was a raging storm of anger, pain, and fear. His passion had been covered in it all since left Manaan with Silara. He had to get it out, he had to say it. "I almost killed our daughter..."

Patricia's heart skipped a beat when he said that, a hole in her heart and gut began to form. It was worry, worry for their daughter Erika and for Romeo as well. He'd never hurt their baby, ever. A pained tear ran down Patricia's face and her words came out as shaky pained expressions.

"Wha- What?" She said rising from the chair

All she wore was Romeo's shirt and it went down to her mid though as the tiny five foot two agent looked up at her love. She began to slowly get a grasp on things the shock wearing off that their baby might be hurt. And that the person who did it was the one man she had ever loved. She stepped towards him and held her still sleek but now pregnant stomach.

"Baby please tell me that's not true, that you didn't hurt our little Erika. We're going to have another baby Romeo, I'm sorry that I love you but you need to tell me what's going in and if our daughter is safe right now!" Patricia put her little foot down and her eyes welled up with hot tears

Romeo slammed the holoscreen through his balcony window, with just a mere quick gesture with his hand. "I WAS THERE!" he roared. "I WAS THERE AFTER THE SITH TOOK CORUSCANT!" His eyes began to make waterfall of tears. "I watched........thousands die...I watched the darkside nexus become a reality...and I was there..with Erika....I was poisoned with something of the Sith...its still there...in my blood..." He looked out the broken window from where he was. "The children..the woman..the men...they were all sacrificed for a goddess that isnt real..for a cause that went beyond evil..." He looked back at her. "Something clicked in my head..I saw it through my eyes, and not the poison..." He cried harder. The room began to shake as his pupils dilated as if he was high on glitterstim. "I ran..." His mind rushed to something he had kept locked up for years, and years. Something no one knew. The darkness began to pour out of him, and surround him in a red, black cloud. "I ran, and I ran...I ran with her in my arms realizing what I was about to do." he was beginning to lose control, this memory was not meant to be brought back.
Rain, blood, laughter.
He began to clinch his fist more, and the room started creaking, and whining as if it was being brought back down.
Snap.
He roared out in a booming voice, and the beams broke inside the walls.

Listening to his story Patricia began to cry hard, she hated seeing Romeo like this. It wasn't his fault, Erika was ok and sleeping soundly in bed. She kept on listening to him, her eyes turning red and puffy around the whites. He was losing it and the darkness was forming around him and the room, she felt the pressure in the air and her ears began to pop as if taking off on a flight. The darkness felt awful, it made her want to puke and hide. But she wasn't going to leave Romeo, not now and not ever again. Rather than running she stepped forward into the darkness and let it wash over her in horrible crashing waves, it was like feeling the death of a loved one or knowing there was nothing you could do to save anything. It was helplessness. But she trudged through it until she reached Romeo and she wiped her tears when the support beams snapped. The room was going to come down there was no denying that.

She reaching in and grabbed his hand squeezing it tight, a gesture that she was done running. She was done being the party girl or the woman she was and she wanted nothing but to be right here, in the middle of all this darkness with Romeo.

"Romeo Sin." She said softly but loud enough to get through as dry wall and ceiling began to come down around them.

"I have loved you since the fall of the Sith, and over that time I have grown to love you more than I thought possible. You are my rock, my light in the darkness. When people ask me why I love you, I tell them this." She let the tears roll down her eyes and she kept speaking

"You are not the smartest, the fastest, or the best looking, but when you hold me and kiss me and tell me that everything is going to be ok. Even when the world is falling around us. I believe you! And I love you because you are the only person who has made me feel safe! You are the only person who I want to spend the rest of my life with! I love you Romeo Sin!" Hot tears kept falling and she hugged him tight, the feeling was painful and it was inflicting some psychological damage on her.

"That was my wedding vow I never got to say Romeo, and im happy I got to say it now." She looked up at him into his pained face and she looked so small right now as the room groaned again

"Romeo. If you want I will die right here with you. I won't think twice about it." She ran her hand across his warm cheek and she kept crying. "But there is a little girl here, who needs her mommy and daddy. We can go to the next life right now if that's what you want. But just think about her and kiss me one last time before we go." She said softly, and then stood up on the tips of her toes to kiss him with every ounce of love she had for him.

Romeo took a breath, almost having to suck it in. He blinked his eyes twice, and took a step back away from her. "I..I can not do this anymore Patricia...I.." He looked at his hands, they were clinched still, knuckles white, and they hurt. "Our children are not safe with me in this condition...I feel it..coming..deep inside...more, and more my anger becomes my passion...and I lose sight of my family...I have declared love for another...and broke that trust." He looked back up at her. "I will not choose...I will not anyone through that, I would rather be alone then be torn half, and half." he took a step forward. "Patricia Susan Garter....I will not marry you...I will not marry a soul, or show them what I have showed the two women whom I love..." He stepped past her, and took her arm gently, and placed her on the bed. With a quick hand, there was click sound. He handcuffed her to the bed.
"Stay here...where it is safe...where you can raise our children in comfort..I will be back..and I will stay." He dropped a key on the foot of the bed.
"I have declared war on Ession, Primevil, the Sith, and the Mandos want me dead..they follow where I go..." He turned and walked out the door, but before he left, he turned his head and looked once more at her. "I am sorry...I am not the same man you fell in love with.." and he walked away.

Patricia lay there on the bed handcuffed and crying, a small part of her didn't want to get up. She wanted nothing more than to lay there and let everything crash around her, sobbing loudly as Romeo walked away the room groaned again and Patricia just laid down as pieces of wall and support beamed crashed around the bed. She didn't need the keys to get out of the cuffs, she had taken so many classes on escaping them and it wasn't more than a mild annoyance.

"I love you and I forgive you!" Were the last words she shouted to him before he left the room and her life to go wage his unnecessary war. He was really losing if

She sobbed again and bent her thumb inward folding her hand to slip out of the cuffs. In her oversized t shirt she walked out of the room before the ceiling came down. She was hurt now and went to the thing that now comforted her the most. Opening the door to her daughters room she could see the messy room of tbd five year old littered with toys and various dolls. Stepping through it quietly she gently crawled into bed with her daughter and she stirred a bit yawning.

"Mommy?" Erika said sleepily.

"Shhh go to sleep baby, mommy is here." Patricia kissed the back of her daughters head then felt her pass back Into sleep. Following after she let out a tear then smiled holding her sleeping baby, she loved her very much and after a few minutes she fell asleep with her daughter in her arms.
