Amor caecus est

Final Chapter, then you’ll have to wait for the sequel!! XD
Epilogue-One Week Later

*Charles’ POV*

I hadn’t…realized just how much time and effort it takes to raise a child!! Both Hank and I were running ourselves ragged, taking care of Mia and doing our respective jobs at the X-Mansion. We both loved our little girl so much, but it was becoming increasingly hard to juggle her and everything that needed to get done. The rest of the adults and even some of the children helped take care of her when both Hank and I were busy. So I couldn’t spend as much time with her as I had hoped I would be able to. The same thing went for David. Him and his mother, Gabrielle, decided to spend some time at my home, just to make sure that Ian’s personality still in David’s mind, wouldn’t make any problems. But I hadn’t spent a lot of time with them in the week they’ve been here.

Right now, Hank and I were having a picnic. Mia was aways away from us, playing with David and Gabrielle. I was curled up against Hank, smiling at my two children as David spun Mia around. The little blue girl giggling happily.

After we had returned to the X-Mansion after our friends had found us, I had explained what had happened after my capture. Several people doubted Mystique’s motives for what she had done, not believing that she had been controlled. But I think that Kurt believed her, at least about that. I had spoken briefly to Mystique before she had left, telling her that she was welcome to visit her son and adoptive daughter if she so wished. She had acted like she hadn’t cared, but I could tell she was grateful for the offer. I just wondered if she would ever visit them, because I knew that Kurt wanted to get to know his mother. Rogue though, was a different matter entirely. The teenager didn’t want anything to do with Mystique at all, but I hoped I could help change that.

I let out a surprised squeak as Hank tugged me into his lap suddenly, wrapping his arm around my waist and brushing his lips lightly across my neck. “Hank!” I exclaimed, blushing furiously. I was still…embarrassed about showing affection like this in front of others, especially my son and ex-wife. Things were still…awkward between the three of us. I hadn’t really had enough free time to sit down and talk to Gabrielle about…anything really. I’d have to do that soon, there were some unanswered questions that I needed to ask her. I had also tried to spend time with David, but he still seemed wary of me. Perhaps the reason was because I’d accidentally locked him inside his own mind. The guilt of what I had done, even though it wasn’t on purpose, had been haunting me more this past week than when I had first done it.

“Hank…” I started suddenly, watching my daughter carefully. “I’ve become increasingly worried about Mia this past week.” My love squeezed me gently around the waist, resting his head on my shoulder.

“I know, Charles.” He said softly against my ear. “She’s growing too fast, and her cognitive abilities are much too advanced for her age. She’s already learned how to crawl, and she’s come close to saying actual words as well. I’d like to run some tests on her.” I let a worried noise escape my mouth. “But I won’t do that at this stage!!” Hank quickly stated, succeeding in calming me somewhat. “but if this rate of growth keeps up, I will have to. You do know that, right?” I hesitated, not wanting to admit it.

“Yes Hank, I know you will have to…” I let out a sigh and leaned my cheek against Hank’s. “I just…wish you didn’t have to…” Hank said nothing else on the matter, and nuzzled his face into my neck. David was suddenly in front of us, still holding his half-sister. He sat down on the blanket near us and set Mia down, smiling brightly.

“I think little Mia missed you two.” The little blue girl crawled over to the two of us, I held my hands out to her, taking hold of her as she came into arms length and pulled her into my arms.

“Hi sweetie! Did you miss us?” I asked, brushing my fingers softly through her short black hair. She giggled, gripping one of my fingers. I smiled at her, she had quite the grip for such a little girl.

“Daddies!!” She cooed happily, reaching both of her hands towards Hank’s and my faces. My eyes widened in surprise. I heard Hank gasp and saw the shock on David’s face as well.

“She’s talking now already?” Gabrielle questioned, having followed David over to us. I looked up at her, confusion on my face.

“Yes.” I didn’t know what else to say on the matter, so I kept quiet.

“That isn’t normal. Are you going to do anything about it?” She said, frowning deeply.

“When she gets older, I’ll run tests on her.” Hank said, the worried look on Gabrielle’s face lessening.

“Well, it looks like it’s time for Mia’s nap now.” I said, seeing my daughter yawn widely, snuggling against me. I stood, Hank following my lead. David gave Mia a kiss on the cheek and wished her a good nap, my daughter laughing happily. I smiled at my son as Hank lifted Mia from my arms. The three of us headed inside and put Mia to bed. She was in a room across from mine and Hank’s bedroom.

“I’m glad that Mia and David get along so well…” I said softly as our daughter fell asleep. I stroked her cheek gently before straightening. Hank kissed her on the cheek and the two of us slid out of the room, closing the door quietly behind us.

“Yes, it’s quite a surprise though.” Hank said, starting to head down the hallway. I gripped his wrist, tugging him towards our room. His eyebrows shot up in surprise. “You want to…now?” He questioned, a sly grin spreading across his face.

“You really have to ask that?” I said, raising one eyebrow up at him as I pulled him into a passionate kiss. We hadn’t had sex in several months due to my pregnancy, and this week we had both been so worn out and tired, there had been no time. But I was going to have this moment with Hank if I had to make everyone in the house fall asleep. It was the middle of the day on a Saturday, so anyone could hear us. But right now, I didn’t give a damn about any of that!!

Hank pulled off his clothes quickly, then tugged my shirt off. His hands ran over my bare chest. “God, I missed this Hank!” I gasped as he pressed his body against me. I could feel his erection press against my thigh, which caused my body to heat up, my arousal hardening even more than it had been. I groaned softly, my fingers burying into his hair as I kissed him hard. Hank pushed me backwards onto the bed and slid off the leg bracers in order to take off the rest of my clothes.

“How do you want to do this?” He asked once I was completely naked. I told him and he grinned. “Are you sure though? Won’t those bracers hurt you?” He asked, only to laugh at his own statement. “Nevermind!”

“We will have to be careful though, I won’t be able to feel if they cut into me.” He nodded and slid the bracers back onto my legs. I slid onto the middle of the bed, curling my finger at Hank to follow. He moved overtop of me, running his fingers softly over my chest and stomach. His mouth dropped onto the mark on my collar bone, sucking lightly at it. I moaned quietly, my fingers gripping his hips tightly. “Hank…please, no teasing! I need to feel you inside me! It’s been too long!!” He pulled back to smile at me, then dug around in the bedside drawer to pull out what he needed. I rolled over onto my hands and knees, allowing him to prepare me.

He prepared me as fast as was comfortable, then slid his cock slowly into me. His hands gripped just above my hips as he pushed fully into me. There was a little pain at first, but it soon gave way to pleasure. I groaned, digging my fingers into the sheets below as I thrust my hips backwards in time with Hank’s own movements.

“Oh my, Charles…” His voice was a deep growl that sent shivers through my body. His movements became harder, I whimpered as he hit my prostrate with every thrust. I pushed my hips back into him with more fervor, panting heavily. Hank’s fingers squeezed me gently as he moved his mouth next to my ear. “You should quiet down, we don’t want anyone hearing now, do we?” He asked, licking the rim of my ear. I groaned, burying my face into the pillow below me. One of his hands moved around to the front of me and began stroking my cock slowly. His movements slowed down, much to my frustration.

“Hank!!” I grunted, thrusting my hips hard against him, trying to make him go faster. “You don’t want to toy with me right now!!” I hissed. He laughed softly at me, but the tone in my voice must have convinced him to listen to me, because his movements picked up. “Thank you!” I groaned. “I…I’m very close…” The fingers around my cock tightened slightly, moving faster. I bit my lip to hold back my moans of pleasure. I felt a tightening in my stomach and arched my back as Hank pushed deep into me. I cried out as I came, my body jerking slightly.

“Ah…Charles!!” He cried out, spilling his seed into me. I collapsed onto the bed, panting heavily. Hank slid out of me, rolling onto his side next to me. I rolled over after a minute, tugging the leg bracers off and setting them on the floor next to the bed. I then curled myself up against Hank.

“I love you Hank.” I said softly, smiling as his arms wrapped around me.

“I love you too, Charles.” He said back, nuzzling his face into my neck. I sighed in contentment. For now, I could forget my worries. I could forget about Mia growing up too fast, about Ian still inside David’s mind, and about my guilt for locking David in his own mind. For now, all that mattered was being with the man I love. There would be hardships later on, I was sure, but I could rest peacefully for the moment. Hank held onto me, whispering sweet nothings in my ear until I fell asleep, wrapped in the warm arms of my soul mate.
