It's not so hard.

You've got no idea.

I do. I've got a almost-one year old baby boy.

No really, you've no idea about my fears or why i fear as I do.

This baby was supposed to bring with him the end of the world. He was literally supposed to eat it.

What are your fears?

Do you know what a Necromancer is?

Yeah.

And do you know much about the power behind them?

Not really, no.

Dark magic.

Uh-huh?

This baby? Child of two vampires. (Surrogate mom.)

*gives her a flat look*

This isn't a pissing contest and as the child didn't do anything I think you're safe for now.

That's a normal fear. I bet your going to be better at it than you think.

It's more complicated than that. If my child has my calling...

Oh, so you are afraid of how the child will turn out. Well, you have made it this far right? I'm sure your child will be ok as well.

My mother was strong and she kept me on the path even as I tried to rebel. I'm scared I'm not so strong.

Ah, but that is the amazing thing about children, they turn us into people we never thought we could be and give us the strength to do things we never thought we could do. The fact that you have the fear shows that you will be a great mother, at least you care enough and love enough to be worried.

But if they are not strong enough...I don't want them to be consumed by what I am.

Don't let that mind set overpower you, teach them to be strong, and don't let yourself make a mistake. You can't be that bad.

Dark magics are bad, the pull to them is overwhelming.

Can't be too scared if you're going to do it anyway.

My other half tells me we'll be fine. it's still scary.

Just saying. You can't be all that scared if you're still going to do it.

There's a 50 50 chance it could be fine.

You shouldn't be.

When my child could be pulled to the darkest of magics I can't help it.

My wife's a little, a little like you.

What if I do it all wrong, what if they end up being some killer or something?

Uh, okay, so...you're nothing like my wife. Listen, you gon't gotta worry about that kinda stuff right now. I mean, if you're gonna worry about anything it should be, y'know, that it has only one head and twenty toes and- ten toes, I mean, and y'know, that a half human half turtle mutant baby thing doesn't come out.

I think necromancy is more than enough to worry about.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Probably.

I know how hard it'll be on them.

Being all necromonious?

The power to speak and summon the dead comes from the darker side of magic, you can't ignore it.

Oh-kay. This'd be where I leave now.

You don't believe in magic.

You must be psychic too.

Most people don't unless they see it.

That's how most things work, yeah.

Well it's real, I get the headaches to prove it.

Not to be a spoil sport but that don't prove anything. Least not to me. But y'know, I've seen some freaky stuff over the past few days so each to their own and all that.
