A beer. God, he needed a beer. He stomped into the kitchen, jerking the refrigerator door open and pulling one from the interior. He twisted the cap off with a savage motion before tilting it to his lips. Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html

"So, did you get your cock pierced the same time you got the vasectomy, or did you have to wait?" He snorted his beer, choking on the bitter dregs as the words slammed into his head. The minute he managed to get his breath he leaned his head against the freezer door, grinding against it as his arms hung slack at his sides. God save him.

He had known she wouldn't be able to hold it in long. He was amazed she had lasted this long.

"The piercing came first. A drunken night in Bangkok with the guys after a mission." He shook his head as he straightened. "Can I take a drink of this beer now or do you have any other questions?" Her lips pressed together as she glided into the living room. A flip of her wrist tossed her purse to the nearby chair as she moved to where she could see him more clearly.

"Did Raven know about it?" Morganna's eyes were narrowed, her chin lifting defiantly as her gaze met his.

"It didn't exactly come up in conversation," he assured her. "As far as I know, she's unaware of it." He took a fast draw on the bottle, praying Morganna kept her mouth shut. He needed something stronger; too bad he didn't keep it on hand.

"Why did you do it?"

"That should be obvious," he said as he faced her. He felt like a man facing a firing squad. He watched as she swallowed tightly, not from nerves; there wasn't a hint of nervousness in her.

"I don't believe you never wanted children," she stated fiercely, her expression tight with suspicion.

"You're too good with them."

"I don't want any of my own." He tried to keep his voice calm, casual. Despite the lie. He would have loved to see her carrying his child, her belly ripe with pregnancy. A perfect little form created from what he knew burned inside him for her. And all he could hear was that child's cries.

"Don't make me ask why again," she warned him softly. "I'll start guessing soon, Clint, and you won't like what I'm coming up with."

He lifted a single brow easily, forcing mockery to his expression, watching the hurt that flashed across her eyes.

"There's no mystery, Morganna," he finally sighed, hating the shadows in her eyes. "I'm rarely home and my job isn't exactly the safest one going. I don't want to leave a child of mine an orphan. Condoms aren't always effective to prevent pregnancy-"

"I hate it when you lie to me," she said, anger thickening her voice as he stared back at her in surprise.

"You know, Clint, I overhead Reno and Dad talking one night, a few months before Mom and Dad were killed."

He flinched. "Yeah?" He smirked as he lifted the beer again.
