musing_way prompt 77 (want for a child)

[questformal]

I suppose I never really put serious thought into the topic. I was very isolated when I grew up, and I never really was exposed to the fact that girls are supposed to want children and become mothers. I think it's because my mother wanted me to be prepared for my own fate, which was to be married to another woman.

And of course, while Mio and I are expected to have a child, I can't afford to be pregnant myself. My role is too dangerous and too many people are eager to kill me. Taiga and I were lovers before we found out we were related, but I don't feel comfortable sleeping with him now because we're family. He seems to have no such reservation, especially if a pregnancy would keep me safe and out of danger. I've had to terminate one before, and I think I broke his heart doing it.

So, I will never have a biological child of my own, but if I can convince Taiga to sleep with Mio, my Queen, at least I'll have a niece or nephew. And that's all that I really hope for.
