Does this mean we have a fiance now,
No...you have to work for that.

This was a One Night-stand with a former acquaintance. who was kind enough to leave a note on the Nightstand.
and does the nonnatural crit we are having multiple kids.
You likely are having only One Child...just check in with the Primarch Order, they are experts on this stuff.
Does having a mutation improve our kids chance of having a similar or no mutation?
Yes...By having a Mutation you are allowing a Mutation to be passed on, via genetics.

Plan to Roll something terrible.

Or something awesome.

I don't know.
 
Promises Made, Kept, and Formed
Promises Made, Kept, and Formed

(Ellera POV)

I never really expected to know anything more than my own duty and obligations…its kinda hard to think of yourself when you are raised to think of others.

A Lifetime of work…needed to craft me into someone competent for the state.

Then you walked into my life and taught me to be selfish, you taught me to be free and open with my life.

Not in the way you anticipated…but the lesson remains.

You taught me the lession of self and the necessary need to be a selfish bastard every once in a while…to take the good things with the bad and watch the chaos of the void with a smile…

Even when it all went to hell…you left I didn't think I had enough courage in me to make the first battle…then I kept fighting and winning and leading.

Got good at it, spilled my share of blood…gained some treasure.

But it was only a distraction to keep that longing away…

God here I am acting like a schoolgirl…damn…decades change people.

So when I saw you reenter my life I took the chance with both hands.

You are a commander now, have your own ship… and everything.

Being your own man.

Guess you don't have time for me…but I only hope you keep me in your heart.

And should the time come, and we are separated again…by time and circumstance.

At least know what we had was real.

Oh…Eight years was a long time to forget…can't believe it took less than an hour to go right back to how it felt before he left.

You tried to cover yourself with his jacket as you woke up.

"Morning?" He said.

"Nearly a decade away and it takes you less than a night to make me fall in love with you." You said.

"Well, I have been known to be good at reminding people about why they did it." He said.

"I know…" You kissed him. "I don't want to get up Adam I want to stay like this forever."

"We both know that's not possible…even now." He said.

"Stay a little longer." You said.

"We both know that isn't possible." He said it again firmer this time. "Time and circumstances have changed us too much to just set us off together like nothing happened."

You frowned knowing the truth in his words. "I want this to last forever."

"I know…I know you do…but we can't." He said. "Let me go…move on with your life."

"I can't just let you walk away again…not after-" You said.

"You need someone a bit more dependable than me to help you become a better person. I just started you down this road." He said.

"I can't be alone again…I spent too much time being alone." You said.

"You aren't alone…look around, and love those around you…then…who knows what kind of gifts the world is giving you." He said smiling.

"I know…" You said as he put a hand on your shoulder and then on your stomach. "Still a dick move to leave me like this."

"I'm sure you'll manage well enough." He said.

"I know I will, the child's gonna be a Bastard." You said.

"Since when has the stigma of being born out of wedlock stopped anyone…lest of all you." He said.

"I know…here I am now, a child only my parents wanted to lead a nation into another war because I wanted them to remember me." You said.

"Well, look for love in your own time who will see you not for what you have behind you in the path you walked alone…but what you have to earn together ahead." He said.

"Have you always been this smart?" You said.

"I've always been smarter than you…you've just been too stubborn to notice." He said. "But you've got me beat in terms of practicality."

"Goodbye…" You said.

He turned and kissed your cheek before leaving. "Be happy with the life you have. And don't let anyone tell you differently."

He left you not a moment later…but before he left the threshold he gave one final bit of advice.

"You already know how to love yourself…Ellera, loving those around you shouldn't be that hard." He said leaving you alone at long last.

You stood alone in the loft looking at the mirror and the scarred face of Ellera Sigmondottor looking back, the one afraid of connections and relationships.

You finally smiled. "Why should I care if it all ends in fire…Its the road there that counts doesn't it."

You knew you were right…you were always right.

"I hope you're a boy…because if you're a girl…then I'd have to explain a few things about Synth Suits and what a lesbian is… because somehow its going to come up." You said going to get dressed and move onto the next chapter in your life.

War is easier than children.

But one was a bit more rewarding.

Reward: Commander Adam Reacher has reacquainted himself to you.

You feel happy and hopeful for the future at long last.

Gain trait: Pregnant: This woman is with child (-4 to martial, -20 personal combat for the duration of her pregnancy)
