The Talk.....

Chloe headed to the Living Room with Bruce right behind her, she calmly managed to sit herself down on a couch and then met his eyes. "So I assume you have a lot on your mind right now huh?" She asked quietly as she massaged her temples with her hands.

[[ OOC: The title is all... ominous. XD ]]

"Clearly." He stated flatly, knowing it was harder to talk when the other couldn't hear him directly from his mind. Bruce stood, not wanting to sit. He almost wished she'd decided to have this talk in a more private sector but he also knew she had put him here for a reason. There wouldn't be a huge fight where everyone could see.

She bit her lip and then sighed, "Look Bruce I don't know how to explain how my memories returned....but I...this is...something I never would have dreamed for." She stared down at her hands and sighed, "I know that when you told me we should have a break it was because we were going too fast and I respect that. I never meant to throw myself at you for sex and I'm sorry Bruce....it was completely unforgiveable of me." She said quietly.

Bruce sighed out, "That's not the biggest thing on my mind, right now honestly. The sex is something every woman has used my for at one point or another, that or my money. As long as the either aren't happening I'm fine, I can understand the need for it. It's human." He was partially distracted, his thoughts returning to the woman that stabbed him with needles, he shook his head lightly, trying to rid those thoughts.

She frowned and bit her lip, she still felt hugely guilty and it didn't help that she had a baby inside of her now. I'm such an idiot she thought before she got up, "Well I guess that's that then." She said with a weak smile before she turned to leave.

Bruce watched her move, thoughts nagging in his mind, "I thought we were talking, why the sudden walking out?" He asked, almost breathlessly. She had this unheard of tendency to leave a room if the conversation wasn't going the way she wanted. He was going to end that habit.

She glanced back at him, "The thing is Bruce I don't what else there is to say, I mean unless you have questions or something I don't know what to say." She said quietly, she honestly didn't know what she was supposed to do in this situation.

"We just seriously need to have a face to face talk. One in which is not interrupted by a deranged vampire or a sudden attack of the psychological kind." He said, his poor attempt at humor.

She smiled weakly at his attempt at humor, "Ok then, what do you want to talk about?" She asked curiously as she met his eyes.

"What is going on with us? If there even is any sort of fraction of a bit of us even still in existence." He said lightly, his whole body language changing to one of a bit guarded. A horrible habit he had when attempted to convey feelings.

She bit her lip, "I still have feelings for you Bruce, you were the one who wanted to go on a break and I respect that choice Bruce. As for us being together.....I don't know, I mean there has been a lot that both of us have gone through recently and I understand the need for seperation." She said almost sadly, because it hurt to admit this.

Bruce nodded, almost sadly. He felt partially responsible, his paternal instincts kept flaring when Chloe fell. He looked up, "I want us to take it slowly, well we're going to have to anyway with a little Chloe coming into the world sooner than you'd think... If you'll even have me back." He said lightly, "Though, do have some patience with me. Sometimes I don't know what to do in emotional situations." He added quickly, stressing the fact that he didn't really know how to work along in a relationship. The theory seemed clear but theories are usually clearing in thought than in practice.

She smiled, "Who says it'll be a little Chloe? I think it'll be a little Bruce." She said lightly back and at the rest of his statement nodded. "Bruce, you don't have to explain I understand and of course if you want us to get back together then I'm up for it." She said with a small smile.

"I hope it's a little Chloe, I've raised too many boys." He said with a hint of amusement in his voice before remembering what Rogue had told him, he needed Chloe's opinion, "Chloe, I'm sure you've known for quite a while but you know I raised three adopted sons... but I have a child, a daughter, with Selina Kyle..." He left out the part about Selina's death, finding that was un-needed information for the moment.

She nodded, "I remember hearing about that, look Bruce I'm not going to be the jealous take over girlfriend who squanders your time away from your kids." She said lightly but seriously.

"I know, but you also have to be aware when we do go back I have to take responsibility for her. I wanted to say that to your face, so I wouldn't deal with the most likely horrible consequences." He sighed out, trying to avoid a possible fight.

She nodded, "I understand and Bruce she is your daughter, I'll be happy to help however I can." She said honestly as she stared up at him.

Bruce sighed out, "Well that went a lot better than expected." He said almost with a slight smile. Almost.

"For some reason I get the impression, you thought I'd turn into the Big Bad Wolf or something." She said lightly as a little giggle worked its way out.

"Most women would." He said flatly, before shaking his head with a slight smile, "Then again I have to remember you're not like most women."

She nodded, "You're damn right." She said with a smirk and then cleared her throat, "So where do we go from here?" She asked.

"I think I'm going to walk you to your room and you're going to lay down. Healing Lorna has put a toll on your body." Bruce moved next to Chloe, not really giving her the option of no.

She hadn't wanted to admit it but she had been on the verge of collapse, she nodded, "That sounds like a really good plan." She said with a sheepish smile as she smiled up at him.

Bruce moved his arm around Chloe ushering her to her room.

[[ I kept typing Chloe moved Chloe's arm... I think I need to sleep LOL ]]
