On another note, since Benedict is a ginger, I wonder if he went to the trouble of dying his armpit hair? Looks good whatever he did. Lmao

Don't Let Me Go
Tumblr media
Pairing: Supreme!Strange x Fem!Reader
Angst / +18 Smut (Just a bit)
Synopsis: When the reader discovers that the Illuminati sentenced Stephen to death, she decides to do everything in her power to save him, even if it means going against her father's orders.
Warnings: MoM spoilers, Slight sexual content (P in V)
Writer note: This is sad! I literally cried while writing this. The Illuminati are a big part of the story, but here the leader of the group is Tony Stark (RDJ, of course) The reader is Tony Stark's daughter. If you can please listen to this two songs, they were the inspirations for this fic.
----------------------------------
“[Y/N] are you listening to what I'm saying?”
You stared at your father with tears in your eyes. You had stopped listening when he said that the Illuminati had decided that Stephen should be killed, that he was a danger to all universes.
“I know you like him. I've never understood the kind of relationship that exists between you, but whatever it is needs to end now. This is an order.”
Your father, the great Tony Stark, Iron Man and leader of the Illuminati, was giving you an order to stay away from the man you loved and that was unbearable. You felt the ground disappear under your feet and an absurd rage erupted from your chest.
“I will not do it! I don't care what decision the Illuminati made, they are wrong. You are wrong.”
Your father sighed, bending over his legs and putting his head in his hands.
“I don't know what he did, but I'm sure it can be solved. He killed Thanos, he saved the world and now you just want to sacrifice him for a mistake?!”
“We killed Thanos and saved the world together! His mistake caused the annihilation of an entire universe. Do you have any idea what that means? The countless number of lives that have ceased to exist because of Doctor Strange's mistake?”
You didn't know that. Nobody told you anything in that place. Even if you worked in the Illuminati lab, even if you were a brilliant scientist, everyone still treated you like Tony Stark's daughter, like the heiress of a billionaire whose job was a hobby and didn't need to be taken seriously.
The only people who didn't treat you like that were Reed Richards and Stephen. Your best friend and the man you've always been madly in love with.
“Baby, I know this hurts you, but I need you to understand that no one made this decision without thinking. Everyone here looks up to Doctor Strange and is grateful to him for everything he's done. Without him we would never have found the book of Vishanti and consequently saved our universe, but what he did…”  Your father ran a hand over his face
“…the means by which he achieved this, all that he hid from us... we cannot forgive that.”
You stood up wiping the tears that fell from your face. You wanted to get as far away from Tony Stark as possible at that moment. It was late at night, and you were at home in Stark Tower. You looked out the window seeing the lights down there, the passing cars. You wondered how the world could go on when the man who saved it was about to be killed.
“It will be done tomorrow morning.”  He informed with a choked voice “Black Bolt will take care of it. He will not suffer.”
You closed your eyes, letting the tears fall, your teeth clenched, your jaw tight.
“If you allow them to do this to him, I will never forgive you”
He sighed heavily “I hope this isn't true. Or that eventually you understand how difficult this decision was for me.”
You heard the door slamming and you gave in to crying. You've known something was wrong with Stephen for some time. When you caught him using the Darkhold one night at the Sanctum you questioned him about the dangers it could pose to him, but he just smirked saying he knew what he was doing.
Stephen was too proud, egotistical, and too arrogant to say when things got out of hand and ask for help and now you hated him for that.
“Damn it, Stephen!”
You wiped away your tears deciding that spending the whole night crying wouldn't save him. In fact, the only person who could save Stephen Strange was himself, the problem was that according to your father he had surrendered willingly, determined to accept whatever punishment was for his crime.
You needed to see him. Maybe if you could talk to him, you'd put a little sense of self-preservation in his head.
You called to the only person in the world who could help you meet Stephen. You only had an idea of ​​where he might be, and if you were right, you might would be able to convince him to help you.
Reed answered the phone and from the tone of his voice he expected you to know everything by now.
“[Y/N], I'm sorry, I can't help you. Nobody can talk to him. These are orders from Professor Xavier and your father.”
You sighed in frustration
“Reed, please. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye. I just need to talk to him one last time. You, above anyone else, must understand this. You're my best friend.”
“[Y/N], you don't understand. If I help you and someone finds out, and they will find out, I might get banned from the group. I can’t risk my entire career.
“Reed, please” Now you were sobbing “I know you know where he is and I know you can help me in. Now tell me, if it was Sue, wouldn't you want to say goodbye? If our places were switched, wouldn't you expect me to help you? You are my friend, please. I'm begging you!”
He was silent and you waited for his answer with your hand over your mouth.
“Meet me at the lab in 1 hour.”
You almost screamed “Thank you, thank you, Reed. I love you I love you.”
You snuck out of the Tower, driving fast through the streets now empty by late-night hours.
When you parked in front of the Illuminati building, your heart was racing. The place that had always been your place of work, your second home, now seemed hostile and when you tried to get through the electronic door with your access card, you were surprised to see that authorization was denied.
You sighed in frustration “Damn it, Tony Stark!”
You were picking up your cell phone to call Reed again when he appeared opening the door from the inside out with his own card.
“They blocked my card!” You almost screamed “What's wrong with these people?!”
Reed motioned for you to be quiet and pointed at the cameras.
“I managed to interfere in Ultron's system, but I need to get you in that room before your father realizes something's wrong and you know it's not easy to fool Tony Stark.”
You nodded “Good thing you're the smartest man alive”
You walked after him through the empty halls. It was after one o'clock in the morning and you felt apprehensive as if you had suddenly become a criminal, which in a way, in the eyes of the team, you now really were.
You and Reed took the elevator to the underground floors.
“Reed, you can’t let them do this to him. He is your friend”
He sighed “They voted. I was the only one who voted against it. I’m sorry, I really tried to convince them.”
You shook your head fighting the tears.
 He took you by the hall where Stephen was. It was just a normal room and only two Ultron robots guarded the door. Of course, Stephen had surrendered, otherwise no technology would be able to keep him inside.
“I'll leave you alone, but remember, the execution is scheduled for seven in the morning. You better not be here when they come for him."
You nodded “Thank you, Reed.”
“You would do the same for me.”
When you entered and closed the door behind you, you found Stephen sitting in an armchair wearing his blue tunic. Cloak standing beside him.
He kept his head down in total surrender. He even looked to see who had entered.
You walked halfway and stopped. Cloak moving merrily as it noticed your presence.
“Were you really going to leave me without saying goodbye?”
He raised his head in surprise, staring at you with a mixture of sadness and shame. Deep blue eyes filled with tears that streamed down his face.
“I'm very sorry.”
His voice was choked and barely a whisper and it broke your heart to understand that he was apologizing for everything and especially for having to leave you.
You wanted to run to him and hug him, but your feet could barely support you on your feet. You took a step towards him noticing for the first time the blackened fingertips. It hadn't been there the last time you saw each other.
You had taken a trip to South Korea to represent Stark Industries at a science expo and because of that you were gone for two weeks. You had arrived the night before and took the day off to rest. You were totally unaware of everything that was going on and only became aware of it when your father told you.
“You should have told me what was going on” You said now finally reaching him, you touched his face and made him look at you “We spoke in the morning and you let me believe that everything was fine. I could have helped you convince them, I'm sure you didn't do it because you wanted to. We make mistakes, Stephen, we're humans. Even you are human.”
He shook his head “My mistake is unforgivable, [Y/N]. I killed an entire universe.”
You knelt in front of him and touched his hands. They were shaking and felt cold, they looked menacing dyed black like that.
“Stephen, you saved our world. You are a hero. You didn't do this on purpose. They can't kill you, they don't have that right. You are the Sorcerer Supreme!”
He took your hands and pushed you away and stood up. Cloak moved toward him, but he waved it away.
“You shouldn't be here. That’s too much for you. I asked them to tell you only after it was over. It doesn't help anything, it will only hurt you more.
You stood up turning to face him.
“That decision isn’t yours. How can you think so little of me?! Did you really think it would somehow be better if I found out only after you were killed? Stephen, I love you. Does my love mean nothing to you?”
He looked at you with tears in his eyes.
“[Y/N], your love is everything to me. That’s why I can’t go on like this. I am corrupted, I am poisoned. Look at my hands!”
He stopped noticing he had just yelled at you.
“I'm sorry... for all of this. It's unfair to you, you shouldn't have come.” He sighed heavily
“Damn, Richards!”
You walked to him and touched his face. He cupped your hand lowering his gaze.
“Stephen, look at me!”
He obeyed and you could lose yourself in his ocean blue eyes.
 “I came because I need to make you see how absurd this punishment is. You were honest to them, you told them the truth and surrendered to their judgment. That doesn't make you a villain. Villains don't own up to their mistakes, you gave yourself to justice because you're a good man and deserve to be judged for what you are. This punishment is not fair, Stephen. You can't accept it.”
He shook his head no “They have already decided. I'm not going to question Xavier's judgment, let alone your father's.”
You sighed in frustration “But they don't understand. They don't know anything about the Darkhold, about what it did to you. All they know is what Mordo told them. Mordo, Stephen! He hates you, he was always jealous of you. He wants you killed to take your place. He rigged their judgment against you, how can you not see that?!”
He walked away and sat on the bed. “It's too late to think about anything now.”
You knelt in front of him “No. It's not too late. You can leave here anytime you want. They didn't even bother to get your sling! Run away with me. We can go anywhere, start over. They wouldn’t dare to come for us. You are too powerful, they can’t fight you, Stephen and they know it”
He smiled contemplating the idea “Would you give up your life here for me?”
You nodded “Without a doubt.”
You took his hand and put it on your face “You are my life, Stephen Strange. I won't let you go, please don't let me go.”
He sighed pulling you to his lips with a desperation that broke your heart. The kiss was salty with the tears that kept rolling down his face and you realized that you had never seen Stephen crying. Up until that point he seemed to be unbreakable.
You broke the kiss to breathe and he lowered his lips to your neck.
“I missed you.”  He whispered softly in your ear.
You missed him too. Those two weeks in Seoul would have been a lot easier if he'd kept his promise to visit you at the hotel in the evenings, but he always had an excuse not to show up and now you know why.
He got up and held your hand helping you stand and started to unbutton your shirt. His hands were shaking and he sighed annoyed with himself. You took over the work unbuttoning the rest of the buttons. He took off your shirt and ran his lips down your collarbone to your breast, holding the other one in his hand. You held his hair, tilting your head back, letting him carry you.
He unbuttoned your bra and you helped him out of his tunic leaving him only in his pants. You caressed his smooth chest. Stephen was so handsome. You never got tired of admiring him.
He turned his lips to yours and pushed you onto the bed laying you on it and coming over you without detaching from your lips. He moved his fingers in a complicated gesture and the rest of your clothes disappeared. He used his knees to spread your legs and get between them using his hand to help his cock inside you.
You moaned loudly feeling your body stretch to accommodate him inside you. Stephen was so big, it never failed to please you.
He moaned against your lips moving slowly but each thrust was stronger and deeper than the last one as if he wanted to disappear inside you.
“Stephen... promise me...” Your words were interrupted by moans and hard breathing “Promise me we'll get out of here.”
He groaned into your lips, gripping your thigh and lifting it, placing your leg on his shoulder, increasing the depth of his thrusts even more.
“God...”  You grunted in response when his cock started to hit your sweet spot and you knew you wouldn't last much longer. “Damn it, Stephen... promise me!”
He let go of your leg and pulled you by your waist. He sat on the bed helping you to slide your legs over his thighs and you took your hand between you positioning him inside you again. You grabbed his shoulders, moving fast, riding him as you attacked his neck, biting, sucking, marking him as yours. He was yours and no one would take him away from you.
“Honey, tell me you are close” He asked groaning loudly.
You nodded “So close... I am so close, Stephen.”
He held your waist, moving you up and down on his cock, increasing the pace and you could feel him throbbing inside you. The climax hitting you both.
“God, I love you, honey” He panted.
You moaned softly feeling your body relaxing “I love you too, baby.”
He held you tight, laying you on the bed and lying on your side pulling you to his chest now wet with sweat.
You could feel the tiredness taking over you. It was a long day, but you refused to give in to it. “Stephen, we don't have time for this. We need to go.”
He touched your face, caressing it slowly.
“We have some time. Don't worry.”
You sighed finally feeling some firmness in his voice.
You smiled to him “Where do we go?”
He held you in his arms “Where would you like to go?”
You thought for a minute “I loved Seoul.”
He kissed your forehead caressing your hair and you closed your eyes, surrendering just for a minute to the tiredness that overwhelmed you.
“Can I ask you something?” He cooed
You hummed.
“Tell me you love me.”
“You know I do.”
“I know, I want to hear you saying.”
You smiled sleepy “I love you, Doctor Strange. I have always loved you and always will.”
He smiled satisfied.
...
Stephen got up and dressed quickly putting on his tunic. He sat at the desk and spent the last few minutes he had left writing a letter that was supposed to be a farewell but was now an apology. He left the letter on the pillow.
You were sleeping heavily and would stay that way for a few more hours thanks to the simple spell he put on you.
If he was going to do that, and he was going to do that, he didn't want you to be there to see it.
A knock at the door urged him on and Cloak clung to his shoulders as he sighed looking at you one last time. He obediently followed the Ultron robots and was taken to the Illuminati room where all the members were waiting for him.
He stopped where the robots ordered him to stop and they pushed him to his knees. He didn't resist.
“Is that really necessary?”  Asked Professor Xavier and Stark ordered the robots to let him up, but he refused. He remained kneeling there and surrendered.
Reed Richards approached
“Mordo asked you to hand over the relic."
Stephen nodded and made a gesture with his hands, but Cloak refused to let go. He grabbed it by the collar and tugged it hard as the relic struggled but surrendered.
Richards held it carefully. Of all the people there, he and Xavier were the only ones looking at him with anything that resembled the way they looked at him before they knew what he'd done.
Stark, who was standing imposingly in his white armor, who never was quite his friend and never approved the relationship he had with you, now looked at him with a distinct bitterness.
Richards walked away holding the relic in his arms and Stephen tried to smile at his friend hoping he would take it as gratitude for the gesture of helping him to see you one last time.
He only realized how much he needed it when he saw you in that room. Richards smiled back.
“I will miss you, my friend” Xavier said, and he nodded. Tears rolling down his face. The hands resting on his thighs were shaking now, not from fear, but because he no longer insisted on using magic to hide the tremors.
“I'm ready” He said facing Black Bolt who walked slowly until he was standing in front of him.
“I'm sorry” Said the Inhuman king and Stephen closed his eyes.
...
You woke up feeling dizzy and confused. Your hand searched for Stephen on the bed, and you touched a piece of paper on top of the pillow and before you could open it you knew what it meant.
“No, no, please no” You got up and dressed running while you stuffed the paper in your pocket and stumbled towards the elevator.
You felt your chest breaking in a way you never thought you could feel. You couldn’t breathe, each step you took towards the Illuminati room seemed to be heavier and harder than the last one and when you finally reached the door two Ultron robots blocked your way.
“Let me through!” You screamed at the top of your lungs “Let me through, now!”
The robots received an instruction from the communicators and opened the door for you to pass through.
When you entered everyone was there: Xavier, Richards, Black Bolt, Carter, Rambeau, your father and Mordo who held Cloak in his arms. Cloak struggled against the grip of Mordo's arms that refused to let go.
The blood boiled in your veins
“How could you do that? He saved you. All of you. You would be dead if it weren't for him!”
“Miss Stark, our decision took into account the seriousness of the infraction committed.”  Mordo spoke “Stephen Strange was the biggest threat that our universe or any other universe has ever known.”
You felt the tears streaming down your face as a hole seemed to open in your chest. It didn't enter your mind that the man you loved was dead.
“You killed him! You bastards, you killed my Stephen!”
No one said anything, everyone kept their heads down and you knew they weren’t so sure about their decision anymore.
Cloak managed to free itself from Mordo's grip and flew to you, flinging itself into your arms.
"This relic belongs to the Sanctum Sanctorum" Mordo said irritably.
“The relic chooses the owner, Master Mordo” Said Reed “You cannot force it to submit.”
You sighed, clutching the cloak in your arms sobbing. It was, after all, the only part of Stephen left for you.
You turned around leaving the hall and Tony Stark called out to you “Baby... please I need you to understand that we did what was necessary...”
“You can keep saying this to yourself. If it was really true, you would be able to look me in the eye. You all know what you've done, and the guilt will never leave you. You will have to live with it.”
You walked out of that building and you never set foot in that place again. On the same day, you left the Stark Tower and accept a job in Seoul.
You never spoke to Tony Stark again.
Reed was the only person you had any contact with, but as the months passed, you even distanced yourself from him. You couldn't bear to hear the tone of his voice, always loaded with guilt, but in a way, it just proved you were right about everything you said.
Well, not everything.
It was late afternoon, and you were looking out the window of your apartment when you felt the well-known kick in your belly. Maybe it was all in your head, but it always got more agitated when you were thinking about Stephen.
You smiled caressing your belly. It was almost time. Less than a month for you to finally meet your baby. Your little Vincent.
You stared at Cloak resting next to the armchair where you always sat to read and smiled feeling an absurd affection for the sentient relic. Something inside you always said that it chose to stay with you because it knew you were pregnant. Because it knew there was a part of Stephen inside you.
You smiled as you sit in your armchair and pick up your favorite book to read. It was cold and Cloak soon rushed to envelop the two of you in a kind and warm hug.
You were home and anything but alone.
"My dear [Y/N],
I don't expect you to easily forgive me for leaving you, but I believe that deep down you know why I did it.
You would never let me go, you love me too much for that and I love you too much to let you ruin your life because of me.
I made a very serious mistake that I couldn't live with, so I surrendered to their judgment and accepted my punishment peacefully.
I know it will be hard to accept, but please don't wallow in bitterness. You are the sweetest, the smartest person I have ever met, and you are an incredible scientist, the best I have had the pleasure of working with.
Please, I want you to live!
And eventually, who knows, you might forgive me for letting you go.
You made me so happy. You accepted me with all my faults, loved me despite them, and I was a better man because of you.
And I know you will fall in love again and when you do I hope you’ll find somebody who you can love like I love you.
Honey, I love you. Never, never doubt that, just as I never doubted your love for me.
yours,
Stephen."

I Want A. Baby Dr Strange X Reader
Warnings: slight angst
Summary: Your baby fever is getting out of hand and you finally ask your husband if you can try for a baby.
**************************
Tumblr media
You have been with your husband Dr Stephen Strange since he was a neurosurgeon. The best neurosurgeon in the country. After the accident that left Stephens hands unable to perform surgeries you had helped him look for ways his hands could be fixed. At first you wanted to do anything you could to help the man you loved but as he went through more money just for the surgeries not to work you started to get worried. Yes you worked yourself but you didn’t make anywhere near the amount of money Stephen made. You wanted him to be happy, you wanted him to have his hands back because that is what he wanted but soon you ran out of funds. 
Your relationship started to suffer as a result. You did your best to be patient with him because you knew he lost a lot but you couldn’t keep pretending that his little outbursts weren’t hurting you. You had done everything you could for him and you reminded him of that. He realized how terrible he had been to you and apologized many times.  
There was one more thing he could try. Going to Tibet to this place called Kamar Taj. It would use up the last of your money but at this point what did you have to lose. That little bit of money wouldn’t bring you anything. So you agreed and went with your then fiance, now husband to Kamar Taj. That’s where superhero Dr Strange was born. 
Stephen has been practicing magic now for a couple years. You still had a job and worked 4 days a week, you lived in the New York Sanctum which is nice. It’s big and it has all the books and other things Stephen needed to excel at his magic but something seemed to be missing.  You knew what it was but you were afraid to talk to Stephen about it. You had no idea what his thoughts on the subject were because it has never come up before. However the more you thought about it the more you realized you wanted a baby. A little version of yourself of Stephen. In an ideal world you would have a boy but you would love the child no matter what the gender was. You wanted someone to hold and teach, love and cherish other than your husband. He was often gone and you didn’t hold it against him but you wanted someone to be home when he couldn’t. Someone to love endlessly like you loved your husband. Having a baby with him is like being able to hold a piece of your love. The more you thought about it the more you craved it. Every time you saw a little family out on the streets of New York or a baby at the store you felt your heart swell. The final straw was when you saw a brother and sister due no older than 4 and 2 playing at the park on your way to work. You decided that day that you would talk to Stephen about trying for a baby.
It was a few days later and Stephen was studying in the Sanctums library. He had been in there since the early hours of the morning when he woke up. That was around 6am and he hadn't come out and it was now just after 1pm. You decided to make him a sandwich and a glass of coca-cola so he would at least eat while he finished his studying.  Knocking on the door you let yourself in when there was no response. Stephen often got lost in his studies and could hardly hear anything. Walking over to him without a word you took the book off the desk and slid the tray with his food and drink in front of him.  
“What’s all this darling?” He scrunched his face in confusion.
“That is food, you know one of the things you need to survive.” You smirked. He rolled his eyes but chuckled under his breath.
“Yes I can see that but isn’t it a bit early for lunch?”  
“Baby, it’s past 1pm.” He looked at his watch in shock. Was it already that late?
“I didn’t even realize. Why don’t you sit with me and we can split this then I’ll be yours the rest of the day.” He suggested using his magic to slice the sandwich in half.  
“I made that for you, you must be hungry by now.” You pulled a chair up to sit beside him.  
“There’s enough, besides I don’t want to spoil my appetite for dinner.”  He pushed the plate over so it was between the two of you.  You smiled and you both shared his lunch.  You two were just sitting and talking about stupid things, nothing really important. You decided now was just as good a time as any to talk to him about the baby situation.  
“Stephen, I have something important I want to talk to you about.”  You took his hand in yours and gave him a little more serious look than you had before.
“What is it darling?”  He squeezed your hand reassuringly. 
“I was thinking we should move forward in our relationship, take the next step you know?”  
“Next step, darling, we're married. I don't think there are any other steps to be taken.”  He chuckled, placing his hand on your cheek.
“There is one we could take…” You kissed his palm and held your hand over his.  
“You’ve lost me.” He purred as you rubbed his beard.  
“I was thinking about us trying to have a baby.”  You grabbed both his hands and held them on the table.  “Imagine it Stephen, a little version of you or me running around. Someone else to come home to at the end of the day, who will give you more motivation to come home safely. A little one who will love you unconditionally. Someone to call you daddy.”  You smiled warmly at him.  
“Well I come home to you and Wong and you already call me daddy.” He smirked.  
“I mean it Stephen, don’t you want someone else to share your life with. A little piece of us to love and hold, teach and cuddle.”  
“Darling.” He readjusted himself in his chair. “I never thought about children back when I was a surgeon and now that I’m a master of the mystic arts I really haven’t thought about it. I’m away from home a lot, in danger a lot. The things I do and the places I go are dangerous. This place is dangerous. All the old relics and magic in this building is no place for a baby. I just don’t think it’s a good idea.” He countered.  
“I’m sure there are things we could do, changes we could make to accommodate.”  
“Things are perfect the way they are darling. It’s dangerous to bring a child into this.”  
“But Stephen can’t we just talk about it and see if we can come up with a solution?”  
“There’s nothing to talk about, there’s no way we can in good conscience bring a child into this.” He insisted.
You didn’t say a word, you just got up from your seat and left the library. You heard Stephen call your name once but you didn’t turn around and he didn’t come after you so you decided it must not have been important. You laid in your bed for a very long time, you didn’t even make dinner that night Stephen and Wong had to order out. Stephen had told you he ordered you dinner but you just dismissed him and told him you didn’t want to eat. 
Later that evening Stephen came upstairs to go to bed. He knew you were upset, he wasn’t an idiot but he didn’t know how much this meant for you.  You brought it up in conversation so freely and nonchalantly that he thought perhaps it was a suggestion that you didn’t really care about one way or another. If he agreed, great, if not oh well. Had he known you really wanted a child he would have been nicer about it and talked to you more. 
You were pretending to be asleep when he came in. You heard him go to the closet and get out a pair of his pajama bottoms. After a few minutes you heard the sink in the bathroom that connected to your bedroom turn on.  The sink turned off and a few seconds later you felt the bed dip beside you and a kiss being placed on your cheek. 
“Hey.”  You didn’t answer.  “I know you're awake.” 
“One of your witchy parlor tricks?” You sigh, turning to face him.  
“Not quite. I saw you close your eyes when I opened the door…. Do you want to talk about it?” 
“We already did that. You said no.”  
 
“I know but… I wasn’t serious enough when we spoke. I can see this means a lot to you and I didn’t realize that. I thought maybe it was just something you felt we should do because we’re married, I didn’t realize it was something you actually wanted. You never talked about having children, you never even mentioned it in passing. I should have taken more time to listen to what you had to say and I’m sorry that I didn’t but I’m here to listen now.”  He moved closer, resting his head on the same pillow and rubbing your side. 
“I never thought I wanted kids but recently I’ve been craving having one. Every baby I see makes me want to have one and every time you're away it gets worse. I want someone in this house to love and hold when you're not here…. It gets lonely.”  You confessed. You have never talked about what it was like for you when he was away on missions or saving the world. He knew it was a touchy topic and if you really wanted to talk about it you would so he left it alone.  
“Why didn’t you ever say anything?”  He brought his hand to caress your cheek.
“Because there’s nothing you could have done. Am I supposed to expect you to let the world burn down to accommodate me? That’s selfish. You have responsibilities, me telling you that I hate when you’re not here isn’t going to change anything for anyone. It'll only make us both feel bad.”  
“I know but I want you to be able to tell me anything. I want to know what you’re feeling, what’s bothering you. You don’t have to hold it all in.” 
“I appreciate that but I don’t see the point of complaining when nothing can be done.” 
“Talk to me about the baby.  Would you like to have a child with me? Do you think it would be safe here, do you think you can handle being here alone with a baby when I’m away? These are all things you need to think about and take into consideration before we make a decision. This is no normal job, I can't just take time off even though I wish I could.”  
“I would love to have a baby with you, to have your baby. I think we could do some serious baby proofing of the house and I’m sure there are spells that could be cast in order to make the relics less dangerous. I’m sure I can take care of our baby while you're away. You’re never away for too long, a few weeks at most, I can manage while you’re gone. I think this could be good for us.” 
“I think you’re right. I can’t deny something so special from the one I love. We’ll try for a baby.”  He caressed your cheek bone with his thumb.  
“Thank you.” You sigh, placing your hand over his, bringing it to your lips and kissing his palm.  
“Anything for you.”
