The fox from hell: the tail of the once great demonhunter

Eventually she hiccupped, and took a deep breath, whiping at her face until there was only the thin layer of wetness as evidence that she'd been crying. "Yeah....I know." She clutched at him tighter, looking up at his face through misty eyes. She looked so vulnerable now.

Azrael smiled holding her closer. "Let's get some rest love. We may be stuck in this bed for a while"

Roxanne grumbled, looking down at herself. "Yeah...I can't even feel let alone move my legs....damn side effects...." She huffed, looking down at the floor, but nuzzling into him. She hated looking weak in front of eyes.

Azrael smiled "hey at least I'm stuck here with you." He said as he lay back down wincing a little. "That last hit for me good"

Roxy looked to him like she really wanted to climb all over him, and not being able to was killing her. She opted for leaning forward and taking his lips sweetly, cupping his cheek. "I guess this is the price for me being reckless." She breathed into the kiss.

"At least it wasn't worse" he said kissing back as he gently pulled her on top of him.

She whined into his mouth, wanting to straddle him but she couldn't. Roxy was swelling with emotions and was incredibly vulnerable right now, and she knew it was because she was distraught over the kids leaving. She also knew that she shouldn't use him for it, so she broke the kiss. They should stop. Besides, it would only make her frustrated as she couldn't feel anything below her waist, so she wouldn't be able to feel that tingle of heat and warmth in her lower stomach. The heat that would eventually grow into a roaring fire.

She shook the idea from her head as she pulled back to look down at him apologetically. No words needed to be said. She knew it was written all over her face.

Az smiled. "I know let's get some rest" he said smiling as he lay her down on the side of him.

She was so glad she had someone like Azrael. She was glad he could read her so well as she nuzzled as much as she could into him. Before long, Roxanne began to drift in and out of slumber, her exhaustion enveloping her again as she kissed his chest before falling asleep.

Azrael smiled as he slowly started to drift to sleep. "Sleep tight love." He said before falling asleep. And slipping into a dream. He woke in his dream to three little kids jumping in bed. "Mommy daddy wake up!" They said together

One of the little kids resembled Ruby and she was bouncing on the bed excitedly, almost pouting when she thought they were ignoring her. "Daddy! Mommy! Come on...." She whined.

Azrael smiled. "Ok I'm up I'm up, did you already sort your presents?" He sad sitingup. It was Christmas in the dream. He smiled picking up ruby. "Hey no need for the pouty eyes my little princess.

Ruby looked to him like he was insane. "Duh. Santa's given us loads. So come on....mommy won't wake up..." She whined again, prodding Roxanne who only groaned in response, waving her off with a mumble though it was incoherent.

"Back up kids daddies got this" he said moving oer to her. "Time to wake up hun it's time. To let the kids attack their presents" he said kissing her a little

Ruby didn't watch as she made a grimace whilst looking to the wall. Roxanne merely groaned in protest, not responding to his kisses as she was so weary. He'll have to do better than that. "It's...six in the morning...." She grumbled.

Azrael smiled. "Alright then you won't get the present the kids and I made you. It's a shame. Ignis made it all by himself"

Ignis started to act sad sniffling.

Roxy peeked through the pillow and bed cover. She looked a mess right now. "I'm getting up on one condition... Later, we...." She leaned up to whisper in his ear, smirking as she did before she bit her lip.

Azrael smirked "alright alright. You with baby" he kissed her. The twins looked away a little. "Ewwww" they said together

Roxanne chuckled into the kiss, before turning to nip his neck briefly as she threw the covers off her and put on her slippers. She rubbed her eyes as she yawned and before she knew it, Ruby and Ignis had grabbed both of her hands, trying to pull her eagerly downstairs. "Alright...I'm coming. We have all day you know..." She snorted, walking into the living room to admire the tree.

Azrael smiled giving Skoll a piggy back ride. "Alright kids have at it." He said settin Skoll down. "Would you like some coffe or tea dear?"

"Since I'm not all there right now...I think coffee will be best." She grinned whilst scoffing, watching their kids tearing at the paper of the parents. 'Wow, never seen them so enthuastic,' she thought to herself. She just prayed they liked the gifts they got for them.

They had gotten a few toys the boys got swords that matched identically. And ruby got some toys and a presant from her father. It was a necklace that looked exactly like her mothers. 

Azrael walked back in with coffee for roxy and himself.

After finishing her flail at her presents, Ruby wandered over to her mother with three presents, from each of them. Roxy eyed them curiously before she started tearing away herself.

From Ruby, she got a hand made bracelet and a scarf she knitted herself. From the boys, she got a pair of gloves and a music box. When she opened it, it started to play 'Lilium' and she smiled. "Thank you so much...."

Azrael smiled pulling out a present from all four of them. "Ignis made this one for you all by himself."  When roxy opened in inside was a new bow with and engraving. "To our wonderful mother."

Her eyes widened as she stroked it delicately, looking at the engraved text. Wow, he did this himself? Roxy looked to him and stroked his head before kissing him on the cheek. "Thank you sweetie, thats so sweet and thoughtful of you. Thank you too guys." She smiled.
