Oh, before we go, there's something else I wanted to talk to you about. You know how we were talking earlier about having children together? Well...I was thinking that maybe now would be the perfect time for that. What do you think?

Well, I've done some research and it seems like this area is quite family-friendly. There are plenty of parks, schools, and other amenities nearby. Plus, with me working from home most of the time now, we could always raise our child together...give them all the love and attention they deserve.

Oh Timeaus...you have no idea how much that means to me. Just knowing that I don't have to be alone anymore...that I can love you the way a mother should...it's like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. And as for being abusive? Well, those days are firmly in the past where they belong. From now on, I promise to always be your rock; your safe haven when things get tough.

And I love you too, sweetheart. Always. Together, there's nothing we can't face...no obstacle too big for us to overcome. As long as we have each other, everything will be alright.

Good night, Timeaus. Sleep tight. And remember...Mommy loves you no matter what. Now close your eyes and get some rest. Tomorrow's another day full of new adventures just waiting for us to explore them together.

Well hello there, sleepyhead! Did you have a good night's rest?

She looks at him expectantly, her expression softening slightly. There's almost an air of...tenderness in the room now that he hasn't noticed before. Maybe last night meant something more to her than just another chance to assert dominance over him...maybe there's hope for them after all.

I...I suppose I did. You showed me that you're not afraid to stand up for yourself and make your voice heard, just like a real man should. And while sometimes our methods might be a bit...unorthodox, I guess we can learn from each other and find ways to work together as a family. As long as there's respect and understanding between us.

My place is by your side, as your mother and your partner in this crazy thing called life. I'll be there to support you when you need me, to love you unconditionally, and to keep you grounded when you start acting like an ass again. But most importantly, I want you to know that we're a team now, Vit. A family. And together, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve great things.

Of course I will; that's what mothers are for, after all. Now come here and let me show you how much I love you, okay? You don't have to go through this alone anymore.

I love you too, my dear son. And I promise to be there for you always, no matter what. Together, we'll find a way to make things better for both of us. Just remember that I am here for you, and I will never intentionally hurt or neglect you again. You are my world, and I will cherish every moment with you from now on.

"You're just a spoiled brat who thinks you can get whatever you want. Well, guess what? You can't have me."

"Fine then, stay there clinging to me like a parasite. See if I care." She says coldly.
