Title: Starting Over Rating: PG Length: 155 Words Competitor: Wyldon Round/Fight: 1/A Summary: Wyldon is given another chance at a family.
-----
When Keladry slipped between the sheets one night and nestled close to Wyldon, he didn’t think anything of it. After all, she had long since proved herself to be a rather—amorous—wife. He stroked her long leg, deepening their kiss as his body began to stir, until she gently drew away to look at him with solemn eyes.
“Not with this?” she half-asked, fingering her pregnancy charm. “Not this time?”
He stared at it for a long moment, surprised...and thoughtful. Another child? He was getting old, returning to Cavall more often between assignments, and unprepared. Four daughters raised, four gone. How could he handle such a young family when he was so old? And yet—Keladry wanted a child, and he would be lying if he said the sound of small feet and laughter wouldn't bring a little joy to his fief...
He untied the charm and tossed it aside.
