Regrets- Chapter 1

So um, this is a series of one-shots I'm going to do for the Disney couples I'm more familiar with. If you have any requests, just review, and enjoy. I've been feeling very Herc/Meg lately and… I made this.

Megara watched sadly as her husband sighed and slumped on the couch, worn out from a day of battling monsters. She quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.

"Thanks," he smiled up at her, but his eyes were still tired.

"You okay?" she asked softly, returning his smile unsurely.

"Yeah," he replied, shrugging. "Just a bit tired."

She bit her bottom lip hesitantly and said quietly, "Must be getting old."

He laughed a bit. "Must be."

Meg had deliberately tried to keep her tone light. Hercules had given up immortality for her, and although she was grateful, she was insecure deep inside. He was barely an adult then, with little knowledge of the world. How could he have been so sure that she was what he wanted? What if it had all been a mistake?

What if he regretted it?

Even if he did, he would never voice it. Meg knew that. He was too kind to ever hurt her, but she didn't want to take advantage of that. Even if she lost him.

She was pulled out of her train of thought when a hand gently pulled her down onto the couch. Meg curled into his chest and he put an arm around her shoulders, bringing her closer to him.

"Something wrong?" he questioned, concerned.

She sighed. "I was just thinking."

"About..?"

"About…" she repeated, tentative. "You know… the event from eighteen years ago."

He tensed ever so slightly, but attempted to remain casual. "Oh, uh, what about that? Is- Is Hades…?"

"No, no," she interrupted quickly, to reassuring him. "I haven't heard from him since." When she felt him relax, she continued. "It's just that… I was thinking… about… about…"

He tenderly lifted her chin so that their eyes met and grinned widely. "Are you always this articulate?"

She gave a quiet laugh, recognizing her own quote which she used when he had trouble finding his words. It seemed so long ago, when they had first met. Heck, it was so long ago, and every day after that had been so worth it.

Looking into his blue eyes, she realized she had nothing to actually fear. He would always be here for her. He loved her. Even after all these years, he still did.

But she still asked him anyway. "Do you ever… regret choosing me over immortality?"

He blinked, obviously not expecting that. "Where did that come from?"

She averted her eyes away, slightly ashamed of her own worries. "Never mind, it was a stupid-"

He held her face, forcing her to look at him. "It's not a stupid question, Meg. If this was how you were feeling, then… then I want to know it, no matter how… ridiculous your thoughts might be," he laughed, sounding a bit bothered that she would be thinking such a thing.

"Ridiculous?" she repeated, frowning.

He laughed again, and this time, the smile really touched his eyes. "Meg, honey, I love you. I don't care about getting older, or dying, or becoming mortal" -he caressed her face lovingly- "I said it then, and I'll say it now. A life without you would just be… empty."

She felt tears forming in her eyes, and reached out to touch his face. "You really do mean it, Wonder boy."

His face softened under her touch. "I really do. I want to grow older with you, Meg, and watch the children grow too." He looked out the window where their three children were playing with Pegasus. "I wouldn't trade this for anything else, ever. Would you?"

She gazed out the window and digested his words. It was true. The whole cosmos can be handed to her, and it still wouldn't be as good the family she had.

She smiled to herself. "You know I wouldn't. How did I ever get so lucky?"

Hercules laughed, the tremors also shaking her body slightly. "Well… It was a lot of work on my part," he joked lightly, earning a playful punch from Meg on the shoulder.

"Right," she replied sarcastically, and noticed that he was still staring at her. "…What?"

"Nothing, it's just… I'm lucky too."

She smiled, pulling him into a kiss. Never again, would she question his feelings for her.

Thanks for reading. Which couple should I do next? :3 Although, I'm probably not doing anything if no one's reading xD
