Title: Military Furlough (12) Rating: PG Word Count: 156 Pairing: Maura/Kel Fight: 3/B Summary: They discuss marriage and babies and Wyldon…
“Do you ever think of marrying?” Kel asked, tracing the lines of Maura’s palm with the tip of one finger.
“Not really,” she answered. Maura never hedged on answering questions; everything was matter-of-fact in her world, and if she was unsure, she hid it well. Kel didn’t know if she’d always been like that, or if this was the result of being the lady of Dunlath for so long. “Douglass and I talked about it a lot, but he stopped when I finally reminded him that a bastard child could still be the heir to Dunlath.”
“Yet you always wear your charm when you’re in bed – even with me, which seems ridiculous.”
“It’s habit,” she answered with a light laugh. “And even if I’m open to the idea of a fatherless heir, I don’t want that father to be Wyldon.”
“He wouldn’t want that,” Kel said.
“Exactly. He couldn’t bear having a child he couldn’t claim.”
