Night came once again.
As usual, Dream read before sleeping.
Ron sat beside her, unseen—his invisibility active.
For nearly an hour, Dream read quietly, one hand holding the book while the other rested on her belly, moving gently as if soothing the life inside her. Finally, she closed the book and turned off the lamp.
"You know, my child," she whispered, "your father is a very kind man. He was always there for me when I needed him."
She smiled softly.
"I remember when my father told me to come with him for a visit. I agreed… and that's where I met Ron. I was five years old." She let out a small giggle.
Ron heard her and smiled.
Dream continued speaking to the baby.
"When I met your father in this time, I was scared. I thought that if I told him we were married eight hundred years ago, he'd think I was a madwoman." She chuckled quietly. "Then one day, he told me he wanted to find his original wife."
She paused, amused by the memory.
"I was shocked that he even knew about me… but then he said he didn't remember her name." She laughed softly. "He was so sincere. He let me live in this house and never once looked at me strangely—until he discovered that I was his original wife."
Her voice faded.
Sleep claimed her.
Ron's smile deepened as he listened.
Like the previous night, he stayed with her. Whenever pain stirred, Ron would cancel his invisibility, sit beside her, and comfort her until it passed.
"Ron, you're too good," Dream murmured sleepily once. "But I wish you were really here. If you were… who would fight the Titan?"
She tightened her grip around his hand.
"I am here with you," Ron whispered into her ear. "I don't care about Titans or monsters or anyone else. I only care about you, my love."
Warmth spread through her.
"Ron… you're too sweet," she giggled faintly.
Ron gently patted her hand and stayed with her until morning.
Before Dream woke, he prepared breakfast—making sure every sweet craving was accounted for.
Then, silently, Ron activated his invisibility once more.
And watched over her as she lived her day.
Ron thought that he'll never be caught.
