Pyxis wasn't sure if Rider or Walden had gotten word about what had been happening. But, after three intense discussions with Snape over the last two days, he'd decided it was time to let her go. Go. In the letter that had been delivered to her that morning, it had explained that she would still be living near the facility, in a flat paid for by her own family, but that it was somewhat of an assisted living. Where nurses would come visit her often.

And to top it all off, Rider was going to be living with her. On a monitored basis with a cuff around his ankle. She stared at the letter for a long time, before she'd even decided to go to Rider. They had to take baby classes together and everything.

She stood at his door, terrified, wondering what Walden was going to think. And then knocked on Rider's door.

	Walden made a frustrated sound when Pyxis walked away from him, chasing after her. "Pyxis, wait," he said, reaching out and grabbing her hand. "I do trust you, but I can trust you and not want you to share a bed with a psychopath." He turned her to face him as gently as he could. "Besides, if he's in your bed then where am I going to sleep when I come over?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Pyxis pulled away from Walden and turned away from him again. "You keep telling me that I'm better. That I deserved to get out of the hospital, but you can't even trust me living in a house with my best mate."

She shook her head. "Maybe you can sleep on the couch when you come over." She told him. "Maybe I'll just fuck Rider's brain out. Since you seem to think I'm a big enough whore to just ride his cock all the time. Hmm. Must be why his name is Rider. I bet he's a fucking amazing ride." She told him, looking him dead in the eye.

Walden stared down at Pyxis, feeling hurt. He took a step back, crossing his arms over his chest. "Maybe I should leave," he said. "If this is how we're going to talk to each other, maybe I should just go."

He shook his head. "I never said any of that, Pyxis. This isn't about trust. It's normal for people to not want their girlfriends sleeping in the same bed as another man. It doesn't mean I think you're a whore or I think you want him. If you can honestly tell me that you would be okay if I slept in the same bed as another woman every single night. That you wouldn't bat an eyelash or suggest we get a second bed... I don't know. I don't think I'd believe you."

"Fuck." Pyxis leaned against the counter as the tears spilled down her cheeks. She looked at the floor, hating herself as she shook her head. Reaching up, she wiped the tears from her eyes and took a shaking breath.

"Depends who the woman is. If it was Pansy, then yes. Because the two of you are perfect for each other." Pyxis admitted and slid down the side of the counter, sitting on the floor. "I just want you to love me."

"I do love you, Pyxis. If I didn't love you than the thought of you sharing a bed with Rider wouldn't bother me." Walden sat down next to Pyxis, wrapping an arm around her and pulling her into his lap.

"Pansy and I aren't perfect for each other," he whispered, wiping at the tears on Pyxis's face. "I know that because I'm with you and you and I are perfect together."

	Pyxis looked back at Walden quietly, then slid into his lap. She clasped his face in her hands, pressing a tender, sweet kiss to his lips. She loved him. And maybe she was still crazy and she didn't deserve him. "Do you think I'm worth it?" Pyxis asked as she ran her fingers through his hair. "You should grow your hair out."

"Of course you're worth it," Walden said, smiling at Pyxis. "I've never met anyone I love more than I love you and Bruno." He touched her stomach and kissed her again. "It's a silly question."

He shook his head when she said he should grow out his hair. "It's too curly. When I grow it out I look like a cross between a caveman and a poodle. I'll show you some old pictures of me and you'll see. You can tell me if you still think it's a good idea or not."

	Unable to not smile at that, Pyxis kissed Walden softly. She touched the hand on the tiny bump she'd developed, then kissed him again, her free hand brushing down his cheek. "I like longer hair." Pyxis pointed out, then bit his bottom lip playfully. "When do I get to see your flat?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"This weekend?" Walden suggested. "Tomorrow we'll be busy getting Rider settled in, and I have to work most of Friday, but I have the weekend off." He smiled at Pyxis. "I can pick you up in the morning and we can spend the day together. We can buy things for the baby."

He leaned in and kissed her softly. "This is going to be great, Pyxis. I promise. Everything is going to work out."
