Time, as I told Xilia, was exactly what I required when it came to building a bunker for Xaiden to live in, and two weeks after his birth, Xaiden was moved into an underground facility of his own, with Vincent as his caretaker and a certain someone filling in as a motherly figure.
I was patient, waiting for an answer from Xilia as to whether or not she would take up the role for my son, and on the third day after his birth, we finally sat down and had a discussion about the topic.
Having not brought it up, I allowed her to come to me first, and when she did, I received the answer I had been expecting: it was a no for her.
She had her own reasons behind it, and given the fact that she was in the process of being inseminated multiple times a day by me, she didn't want to add more to her plate in the event that she soon tested pregnant.
