“Thanks.” Carissa sighs softly.

William hugged Kiki and kissed her head.
"I know it's rough...I know how...while I don't know how it feels for you, I know what it is like. It's hard, and goodness me it's harder for you because I'm just a stay-at-home dad while you're out there leading a whole country."

He nodded.
"While you may need to keep a level head out there...you don't need to pretend everything's ok at home. We'll still love and support you all the same; we'd be fools not to.

William kissed her once again.
"We'll help you throught this...and we'll support any decision you make to get through it."

********

"Well not exactly, we'd probably still be able to keep them in check," Tsarina commented, "Simply because we're more experienced and skilled...but I suppose we should make them only use their powers in self defence; we don't need them psychically dominating anyone just because they were dating someone they didn't like, or because they have the hots for them, or because they think they're stupid."

Kiki looks up at Will with her sad kicked-puppy face, tears streaming down her cheeks. “…R-really?”
“Mhm.”
She smiles softly. “Thanks. I’m sorry. I just… always feel like I need to be so strong. For my country, and for my kids. And Nate’s been through so much too, I’m trying to show him by example how to work through the trauma. I know he’s always going to carry it around and it will always affect him, but I want him to leave the worst of it behind him.”

Connie’s eyes widen. “Oh, sh*t…”
“Hey, they won’t be that powerful—“
“No, I just realized… someday these girls will be dating…” Connie shakes her head. “I don’t want them to date.”
