Just because I don't feel like dealing with it, this story takes place
before BMV.

Oh, yeah, and they were going to have sex, but they didn't want me to write
that so,..

================

" Oh God damn it LaCroix!" Natalie screamed with the most frustrated voice.
" We hate each other. "That is our one main role. I hate you, you hate me.
It is very simple." With her knees clutched to her chest, and her head
ducked, LaCroix realized that another round with the Doctor was most likely
off the menu. Seeing her there, confused and in need of some sort of
guidance, LaCroix sat next to her, and as he did so, he fell into role the
he was most comfortable in; the father figure.


"Natalie, we need not hate each other. Yes, we are going to argue about main
issues concerning my son. Yes, I don't like that you are helping him in his
cure. Yes, I do find you annoying at times.-"

"LaCroix, you are trying to make me feel better right?"

"But I don't hate you. If I did, you would be dead."

With a slight laugh and a lifted attitude, Natalie placed her chin on her
knees and began to work things out with her once enemy." Gee, thanks
LaCroix. I know you are right, its just...I don't know...I love him so much.
It scares me sometimes. I don't know if I'm going to do something stupid
just to be with him. Sometimes I wish I didn't love him....And now I have to
deal with you."

" Rest easy, Natalie. I am much simpler than my son. "

" So what do you want?" A resolve to solve her problems had set it self in
Natalie's eyes. She turned to the man next to her, focusing her
concentration on his answer.

" In regards to...?

"This, what happened tonight."

After what seemed to be much thought he responded." In truth, I want you as
my lover. It has been long since I have had someone has hungry has you, who
needed it has you did. You respond so beautifully," A hand now found itself
stroking her soft face, his eyes following the column of her neck, "The
sounds you make when you come-"

"See, that is exactly what I don't need right now. I need to deal with all
of this LaCroix. Not make matters worse than they are." She said as she
pulled from him.

LaCroix held her, claps her to him. Spurned by her response to his pass, he
declared " You are right Natalie, things do need to be worked out. But not
right now. Right now, you must determine what you truly want. You need to
know if you   want my son, a man that will never make love to you because of
his fear. That will let you grow old and ill, because he thinks it is
best. "

"Stop it."

"Stop what, informing you of the truth?"

"No! You are just trying to mess with my head, trying to turn me against
Nick."

"No. No I am not. You are a beautiful woman with amazing potential who would
throw it away for something she will never have, for a love you even say you
wish you didn't feel."

"STOP IT!" Natalie screamed at him, tears steaming down her face. " I know
all that! Alright! Is that what you wanted to hear? That I know I'll never
have him the way I want him? I know. Now leave me alone." As she stood,
trying to put distance between the man she nearly trusted, and less than
hour ago fucked, there was a knock at the door.
