Nothing can prepare you to bring another life into this world... much less one as chaotic as mine and Mark's.
But we made it work.
We had to. For her.
I love you, Terra. I always have, and always will.
Hey there. Come closer, don't be shy. Are you looking for something seductive this Sunday?
...Too bad. The Coalition of Planets needs your help!
Gear up and meet us on Unopa.

Come get me, bitch...

Eve set her head atop her knees, hiding her face in this manner. She didn't want him to see her upset, although she wasn't the best at reigning in her emotions.

"That's kinda why I came out here. To get away from all that. From my parents, from school, from Cecil... And just be who I want to be. And you? You need to take it easy."
Not that she minded, but she did need to rest.
They both deserved a little peace. At least, in this moment, they were able to find it in each other.
"When that nasty sequid attached itself to my brain, I could feel it... probing my mind," she spoke softly, setting her head

Sometimes, when you love someone, you have to kiss them even after they do something nasty like this.

Cecil had made promises and, if he knew what was good for him, he would keep them.
Eve, on the other hand, knew she had to focus on the fight... and paying this bitch back tenfold for what she'd done to her

"Maybe a little," she teased, "but you were pretty manly before you got 'em too."
She dismissed him with a wink and a playful swat to his rear before making her way to the door, exiting as Donald was coming in.

And you don't want Zach to be a reanimen, do you ?

Eve rested her hand over her abdomen, where the baby would eventually grow and develop over time. Her hand trembled slightly, so she set it down in her own lap instead.
"Mark doesn't know," she spoke softly, "...I don't know

Because that would mean that I don't know you. And that would be catastrophic.
For everyone involved.
Short of punching Thragg in his stupid symmetrical face, I've got nothing too.

"Can you feel that?" Eve asked, quirking an inquisitive brow over at him.
Although the prosthetic would always be a reminder of how she'd failed to

See, I've really come to like that husband of mine.
So I'd rather not see him do something stupid, like... start a war, or insult the strongest Viltrumite with the weakest ego.
Oh, wait-

Eve panted, glaring at

. He'd landed mid-confrontation, and placed himself between her and the armed thugs she'd intercepted at the bank.
How long had he been watching? How much of the fight had he seen?
Ugh, who cares.
"I said... move."
How long had she been asleep? She'd been so exhausted when she arrived that she couldn't be sure.
Her body wasn't broken in her ordeal, but her mind...
Mark had been missing for nearly two weeks, but she needed somewhere safe to go. As she saw it, the only option was...

The threat that loomed over Unopa was palpable. It was in the air, being actively breathed in by every soul that lived on the planet.
Days had passed since her arrival and Eve began to wonder if there had been a false alarm; that her presence on the planet hadnβt been

Which she still wasn't going to talk about since, despite the time that had passed, it still stung when she thought about it.

After seeing him in his frightful condition, she just needed to be close to him. To remind her that he was okay. He was here. He was alive.
"Besides, I'm in no condition to fly you back right now. I need rest... and a ton of food."
It was good to see him up and about again, even if she wasn't sure it was the right time for him to be jumping back into his old routine.
Rex knew his body better than anyone, and all she could do was trust him not to get himself killed.
She squeaked when he pulled her in

Sometimes, Eve would catch Mark watching her with a silent admiration in his eyes.
She wondered what he saw when he looked at her like that ; like she was worth something, even if it was just to him.

protect three of the most important people in her life, she had to actively work at not letting it weigh her down. It might take a while to get over it.
Fine, then you stay in there and we can still talk.
And I... won't look anywhere near where you are.
I want to know why Zack's still dead when you've proven you've got the tech to change that.
She sighed, her anger fading only slightly. He was important to her - to a lot of people - and the fact that he was being so reckless after nearly dying was driving her crazy.
"I'm not going to tell you what you can and can't do," Eve dragged her thumb over his cheekbone,

"You're wrong," she replied, "I'm not trying to 'ruin your day', but... Rex, we never talked about what happened. We just swept it aside and tried to get around it."
Eve's teeth caught her lower lip, her eyes shifting around the room before she approached him, stepping into

"Rex, you don't understand..."
Eve caught her lower lip between her teeth and sat back on the bed, pulling her knees up to her chest.

Rex taking on a more responsible role, and doting on her the way he should have when they were together felt strange.
Strange, but... oddly nice.
Eve relaxed and emitted a soft sigh, glancing up at the sky as the sun's rays stretched over the verdant landscape.

It was never hard to find Rex. Eve didn't need a locator, or a tracer, or even super-hearing. The man practically narrated everything he did... except when he was sneaking around behind her back.
