Facing the Other Impossible (Love Wasn't Enough Alternate Ending)
In the Rain, Stars Align[Yeah I'm going to repeat the beginning but just in case you guys forgot (pfft)]
"WAHHHHH" The baby complained.
"Shh, Daddy's coming." I his dark curly head. His dark hair.
I knew the reality. He was a demon. He could not love. He had duties as a demon warrior.
I was just a human. I was technically his enemy.
And still, I borne his child.
When parents of a demon child are unmarried, they fight to see who keeps the child.
I couldn't fight him. I knew he could never love me back, but in that way I was stronger.
I was not afraid to love him. Even if that meant I lost everything.
There was a crackle in the air, and I knew he was here. I hugged my son and turned.
He stood there in the shadows of the forest. The forest I had met him in the first time.
Well this is it.
"What's his name?"
I had prepared myself for his gruff voice, but I still couldn't stop myself from tearing up.
"His name is Chris. After his father's crisp image." I blinked back the tears and squared my jaw.
Chris looked up at me with his dark eyes.
"Bye Chris." I kissed him on the head. "Mommy will always love you. Make her and Daddy proud."
I then walked up to his father. My throat tightened, but I knew my place. "Here you go." I brought my son into a cradling position and stepped forward to hand him over.
He stepped back.
Anger washed over me. "You think your son is ugly? That he's worthless? Fine. We don't need you." I turned to go back.
"Lisa."
I felt shivers down my back. That was the voice I had fallen in love with. I faced him.
"I told you only one parent can take of the child if they're unmarrried."
"I know. I don't want to fight you." I put Chris down in the grass. "I can't-" My voice caught and I turned away again.
I felt my hand being grabbed. I turned to see him kneeling on the ground.
"Lisa, will you marry me?"
My head began swirling.
"I know I'm not worth you. I abandoned you in fear of both of our lives. I left you to raise our child alone. By asking you to marry me, I know I'm asking you to live in a world that will not be welcoming to you. But I have longed for you all this time. I want to learn to love you the same way you have loved me. I want our child to know both of his parents, to have a safe haven in this cruel world. I vow to protect you or die trying. Will you take pity on this poor demon and marry me?"
I heard about his stories on how unforgiving and menacing the demon world was. They manipulate each other, and they despise humans.
But...I looked at Chris, who gurgled happily in the grass.
"I will."
[A/N] I tried. What do you guys think?
