All You Have Is Your Fire
don't you ever tame your demons
Her face scrunched at his answer. She hadn't expected him to say girl. Least of all a mini her. That was probably the last thing she'd ask for, even if she wasn't the one who'd be dealing with it. The kid was already getting dealt a shitty hand, the last thing it needed was to have a shit life because of its shit personality the way she did.
But which was worse? A mini her, or a mini Riley? He was a douchey lunatic that didn't care about anyone and she didn't want that for her kid either.
Layla looked at the table and frowned, "I think I've already ruined it. If it's anything like me...or him..." She shook her head, it wasn't good. "I guess the world could always use more angsty teenagers who hate their families. Makes for good television."
but always keep them on a leash

it only takes a spark
to tear the world apart
Patch looked at Layla when she started to speak again and he knew she was going down her dark path. He wasn't anywhere near as good at not doing that so he couldn't honestly tell her to stop. She could call hypocrite on him and he wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
Seeing her getting down on herself was painful. Sure, she had her issues, but if it weren't for her being around, Patch wouldn't have been able to come out of his shell. He wouldn't have tried to make sense of his powers so he didn't hurt other people.
She could list all her faults down for him and he would still say she was the best thing to ever happen to him. But when she got like this, he honestly couldn't do anything about it.
"Not everything you are will be passed down to your kid. The least comfort you could take is that they won't have to grow up around that bastard. Hmm?"

There wasn't much he could say that would make her feel better about who she was. He may have loved her, and she believed that as much as she could, but she'd grown up hating everything about who she was. She could thank her parents and her upbringing for that. And the looming guilt of how disappointing she was to her deceased baby brother.
But she could take what little comfort there was from the fact that her baby would have nothing to do with its father.
Layla grabbed for his hand and tapped her fingers across his wrist distractedly, "Do you think it'll come looking for either of us? You know, if...when I give it away?" She could only hope that it would be her if they came looking because Riley...he wasn't safe.

Leaning forward so she could grab his hand, Patch propped the elbow on the other arm on the table to put his chin on. Her question brought a small frown on Patch's face as he considered it.
"I mean...you could leave the kid a note? If you wanted them to find us, anyway. Better us than him, right?" He gave Layla what he assumed was a reassuring smile.
He honestly didn't know what else he could say at this point. Layla had made up her mind and there was really no changing it, as far as he knew. But whatever happened, Patch wasn't going to be anywhere but with her. She deserved any sort of comfort through this journey and he hoped he was able to give her that.
