Arthur is a possessive man. Not in the way that some people assume. He certainly believes that Joan is her own woman and can take care of herself. Arthur is possessive in the same way that Joan is possessive of him. She is his and he will fight dirty to keep her, if she still wanted him. Arthur would let her go if that had been what she honestly wanted but until that time when Joan looks him in the eye and tells him that she doesn't love him anymore, God help anyone that tries to take her away.
It also is sexy as hell, hearing her say that she wouldn't go quietly.
His fingertips lightly caress her arm where his fingers rest and he slowly shakes his head. "If we were to have an unplanned child, I would be very happy with him or her in our lives." Arthur caveats that with, "but I made my choice long ago to not have a family, not putting them in danger because of my job. If we could guarantee that we'd stay here on the island, I'd like nothing more than to have a blend of you and me here. But, we can't and a child of ours back in DC would be used as leverage against us, both by our enemies and colleagues."
