Maeve
Her sweet, sweet boy. He looked up at her with pale blue eyes, flecks of grey coloring his irises as his dark brows drew together in concern, voice trembling as he spoke. Maeve held him all the tighter, cradling him against her chest easily despite the fact that he'd grown to the size of a small child, lips pressing against his temple as she did so. It broke her heart even more to explain this to her baby. For a brief moment her mind flashed back to what Sunjata had told her to do. The lies that he suggested and she almost wished that she'd done just that, but it wouldn't have done him any good in the long run.
Maeve drew back to cup his cheek in her hand, brushing her thumb across his pale skin as she shook her head, sniffling along with him. "I don't think so, starlight. We can hope he does, but we must not let it keep us from living. I know it's hard to understand, but your Papa... He only wanted what was best for us and he might have thought this was the best." Maeve didn't pretend to understand and she didn't expect Edmund to either. How could he? The best thing for them would to be a family, but that wasn't the choice that Locke made.
The Nightshade leaned forward, pressing a kiss to his forehead as she drew him into a tight hug, "But I promise, I won't ever leave you, my darling. I'll always be here for you. Always." She murmured, cradling him close as she made her vow to him, knowing it wouldn't be hard to keep.

If you're a lover, you should know
The lonely moments just get lonelier
