Bike Ride

Brock Breed  May 13, 2013   *having just put on my riding leathers, I hear Jenna opening the door to our quarters.* Hey babe - do you feel up to a ride tonight? It's a nice evening, and the bike is ready.

Jenna Darrow *walking in eyeing my mate from top to bottom* Definitely love, just let me grab my jacket. Should we go down by the water?

Brock Breed That sounds like a great idea sweetheart. It would be nice and relaxing - just what I think we both need after the past couple of weeks! Make sure you have your helmet!

Jenna Darrow *smh at Brock* Yes dear I left it in the garage actually. *walking up to him and gently kissing his lips* Always so protective... *chuckles*

Brock Breed *holding her close* I like to protect what is mine, my love. *Taking her hand as we leave our quarters to head to the garage where the bike is stored.* If you like, we can park by the water, and watch the dinner cruise boats go by. The view is always nice at night. *Reaching the garage, I hand Jenna her helmet, and take mine from the shelf* Ready my love?

Jenna Darrow *taking my helmet from Brock* That sounds like a perfect idea love! *getting on the bike and wrapping my arms around his waist, I give him a tight squeeze*

Brock Breed *Loving the feel of her arms around me and her breath in my ear, I start up the bike and head out, driving through the winding roads leading from our compound to the central business district - carefully avoiding the area where Rio and I discovered Diabolus Breed's new nightclub. The traffic is heavy tonight for some reason, and I skillfully weave in and out of traffic to get to our destination- the banks of the Potomac. Finding a nice grassy area, I smoothly bring the bike to a stop.* Will this be ok? *getting off the bike and taking a blanket out of the saddlebag to spread on the grass*

Jenna Darrow *Getting off the bike, I leave my helmet on the seat and look around at the water taking a deep breath letting the fresh air fill my lungs and settle my nerves* Yes this is great love. *taking the blanket from Brock, I lay it out on the grass and sit to watch the boats*

Brock Breed *settling in next to Jenna I watch her face in the moonlight. My heart fills with love and gratitude that she chose me to spend her life with. But I can tell there is something on her mind.* Love, you seem a little preoccupied. Something you want to talk about? I'm all ears. *giving her my best grin, as we watch the boats cruising down the river*

Jenna Darrow *sighing as he asks what's wrong* I can't help but think about Libby. The years lessen the sting some but the pain in my heart never goes away. I wonder what she would be like now. I have even thought about that night when the Ancient came. Would we have been there? What would have happened to her, to Mitch? To me even? I just miss her so much.

Brock Breed *wrapping my arms around her* I like to think she would be much like you. Fearless, and able to take on anything and anyone. I know you would have raised her well, and she would honor you. I won't pretend to presume I know how you feel. I've never lost a spouse or a child. I know if I were to lose you, that would be a loss I could never recover from. As for the Ancient, who knows? But if you hadn't been there, we may not have met, so for that I am grateful. I know you miss her very much. Sometimes you talk to her while you are sleeping. If you like, I can ask Lucan for some time away as soon as feasible so that we can visit their resting places again.

Jenna Darrow *still in awe of how sweet and compassionate my mate is* That would be nice. *resting my head on his shoulder* I am sorry my love that I cannot give you a child. You would be such a wonderful father as you are an uncle. *gazing into his eyes, I trace my hand along his cheek pulling him down for a kiss*

Brock Breed *returning her kiss, I pull back to look deeply into her eyes, knowing how much a child would mean to her.* I would love to see you as a mother. I know you would be wonderful. As for my being a father - it would be wonderful, but if it can't happen, I would not be devastated. You are what I want. I knew I was not taking a Breedmate as my mate, so I knew that children were likely out of the question. *looking off into the distance, deep in thought.* I wonder though..... You have developed glyphs, and you have the Ancient's DNA in your system. We know that has altered you. We could always ask Gideon tp run some tests to see if there might be even a remote chance. Until then - well, there is alwaysRenata's new little one coming soon. We'll offer to babysit whenever we can. I wonder if adoption would be an option? If you're open to that, that is. *Holding her close*

Jenna Darrow *feeling so secure in his arms, it's as if nothing in the world go ever go wrong* It will be nice to have a baby in the compound again. All of the children have grown so much. *snuggling deeper into his embrace* I have never really thought about adoption. We know from the other breedmates that a lot of them felt lost and ended up in shelters. It would be wonderful to be able to help them.

Brock Breed *smiling at her* I know yesterday was difficult for you, to say the least. It will be kind of fun to have another little one running around the compound again. Never thought I would be saying that, after all the decades of it just being me and my brothers, but it's nice. Families are love personified. And you are the best of all my love. *kissing the tip of her nose* Perhaps we could think about taking in a young breedmate from one of the shelters once things settle down. I'm sure we could get permission from Lucan. Even if we are just foster parents, it would make a big difference in their lives - ours too. *thinking of Hunter, Renata, and Mira*

Jenna Darrow *laughing softly as he kisses my nose* It would be nice to have a child in our lives. You are my life though. I can't imagine never knowing you and loving you. I did love Mitch but you truly are the love of my life. *looking back out over the water* Do you really think there could be a chance some day that my body would alter further? I know Gideon has run so many tests in the past.

Brock Breed *holding her closely* I don't know, my darling. Who would have thought any of this was possible? Your glyphs, the Ancient's memories? Who knows? Anything could be possible. We never know until we check it out further. Gideon ran a lot of tests, and every time he did, something else in your DNA structure had altered. Maybe it couldn't hurt to ask him to run them again. It'll give him something to do rather than bug everyone else. *grinning* In the meantime, we could always practice...... *wiggling my eyebrows at her in a way I know makes her laugh*

Jenna Darrow *laughing and nudging him with my elbow* I'll never forget how I started to know things like what glyphs were or understanding those men in that van before my knight in shining armor came to rescue me. *winking at Brock* You know they say if you don't practice your skills you lose them and you are over a 100 years old... *laughing and running away quickly*

Brock Breed *grinning and shaking my head at her, using my Breed speed to catch up to her, and sweep her off her feet and into my arms* Seems like you understand a lot my love - except that there is one thing I will never forget - how to make love to you. Ready to go home? *handing her the helmet*

Jenna Darrow *giggling as I'm lifted off my feet* I have to say that over the years I've come to enjoy you sweeping me up into your arms love. *grabbing my helmet from him* Would you like me to show you what else I remember when we get home? *grinning and licking my lips*

Brock Breed Sounds like a good idea. Let's go home and - um, explore your memory... *grinning at her devilishly as I put on my helmet and start up the bike*
