Camery Valatieri - Camery sort of looked up at him quietly, trying to understand what he was saying to her. She'd been so conditioned that she had to carry heirs - that was her job. She'd marry the first born son of whatever kingdom she was to marry into, and they'd have children. Their first born would be set up to rule, and any other children would be there encase anything had happened.
You didn't have children because you loved someone, you had children because you needed to carry on your bloodline. That's what she was told, anyway.
She nodded and bit her bottom lip after a moment. "I love you too, Malakai," she murmured softly. "But I wasn't taught that way. I want to have a family with you, but I have a duty to have children too..." she trailed off slightly, not sure what else to say. She wanted a family with him because she loved him, but she did have the responsibility of carrying the future prince or princess. She though so, at least. |

Camery Valatieri - Cam looked at him for a moment, clearly a little lost. "I... both?" She almost asked. She did want a baby. She wanted Malakai to sire the child. He was so good with his siblings, she couldn't help but think he'd be the best dad. |

Camery Valatieri - Cam cocked her head thoughtfully. She never really thought this was a conversation they'd have. It was pretty normal to start trying for children right after marriage, so that their heirs were able to take over when they stepped down or died. This... wasn't a normal situation, though. She loved Kai more than anything, but she still felt like she had a duty to her own kingdom back home. After all... there was no one else to take over the day kingdom when her parents passed. Only her.
"Malakai, I love you so much, and you know what. But I feel like we need to have a baby - like as soon as possible," she murmured softly. "And it's not that I don't want a family with you, because I do, but it's always been drilled into me that my husband will want heirs," she paused for a moment, sort of cocking her head up at him, not sure what to say next. |

Camery Valatieri - Camery felt her heart drop just a little when he said they should wait - it didn't feel right. She didn't see why it made much of a difference, either. Why did it matter if she really wanted one? She did want one. They needed one, right? She cocked her head slightly and looked up at him through furrowed brows. "...Why?" She asked simply. "We'd have one sooner or later anyway - and don't you want one?" She asked quietly. |

Camery Valatieri - Cam went quiet next to him as he explained, although it still hadn't made her feel better. She felt like she had a job to do. She'd been told that was her job. She'd been told that her husband would want this. Of course, she never knew exactly who that man would be, or what he'd been through until now. She didn't want to do that to her own children.
Her eyes dropped back to his chest and let out a defeated sigh. "I didn't know that," she whispered. She didn't want to go through that... or put any young people through it. She wanted them to know they were loved, the same way she was loved as a child.
Still, the idea of waiting are away at her. She'd imagined coming away from their trip pregnant. It seemed like a good time for it... she supposed it wouldn't happen anymore, though. Her face dropped a little, but noded quiely. "Malakai, I don't think I'll ever feel like that. That's the only reason my parents had me - they needed an heir," she murmured softly to him.
"And I want a family with you, but it's never going to leave my mind that my child is an heir. Does that mean we're just not going to have children? I'm not going to see if differently," she whispered. |
