Ember layed against me and smiled a little when he took the tray andbut it faded when he put it back on the night stand "do you not like it i can see if there's something else…"

Nathaniel snuggled into Ember, kissing the top of her head. He was still warm to the touch. Tears ran down his face when he blinked from the stinging in his eyes. He still couldn’t believe there wasn’t any medicine to help him. “No dear, it’s alright. I just don’t have the appetite or energy to feed myself. Maybe I’ll eat something later.”

Ember raised her head and looked at him "Nathaniel…your crying what's wrong? " ember didn't exactly understand sickness as she did heat she'd never gone through any sickness and she didn't think she ever would

Nathaniel shook his head weakly. “I’m not crying. The fever is making my eyes burn so intensely, that tears are used to dampen the stinging.” He held onto Ember closely. “I feel so cold— and my muscles hurt and I just don’t have energy for anything.” He sounded to be in distress. “And- and… I need you to call Lilith and tell her I need medicine. Tell her I can’t do this with out something to help with the symptoms.”

"Well that's just weird…ember held her husband close to her as she listened to him speak what he was going through seems awful and she didn't know what to do to help him "but there is no medication for this that's what Lilith said dear."

Nathaniel blinked his eyes, more tears rolling down his cheeks. He soon held them closed. “It’s not strange..but that’s means I have a bad fever.” He sighed, clinging to Ember. He laid his head near her neck, kissing her softly. “That’s can’t be true. Lilith must be lying. Demons do lie. I just want relief. I cant live like this for a few days.”

"But..what if it is true and there really isn't anything? " ember held him close looks up at him as best she could watching as tears fell from his eyes

Nathaniel frowned, looking into Ember's bright eyes, snuggling closer to his wife. "Then will you please hold me to help me feel better. Make me laugh, smile, hold me. All those make me feel better. You are my medicine." A few more tears rolled down his face, but he smiled, kissing Ember. "I really want to get out of bed."

Ember nuzzled into him closing her eyes just enough so you can see the orange rim at the bottom she held him tightly and and kissed whatever part of him her head was laying on she wanted him to get better but she didn't know how to do that "i love you Nathaniel….you will be better soon i promise then you can get out of bed."

(Totally thought I responded to this. Realized I didn’t. Quick question: Do you wanna do any time skips or keep its linear qualities?)

Ember had nuzzled into his neck, kissing it. He giggled, kissing her cheek. “I need you.. you’re my light.” He laid on his back, holding Ember. “I love you too, dear.” He frowned. He didn’t want to get out of bed as soon as he’s better. He wanted to get out of bed now. “In three more days, maybe.” He placed Ember next to him. He swung his legs over the edge of the bed, using the nightstand to support his weight. Instead, he misstepped, falling and bringing the food tray down with him.

(It's fine i did the same thing lol)
And if you'd luke too we can not sure what else to do for time being lol)

Ember giggled a little with him and shook her head before he frowned "dear whats wrong, whatvare you doing? Nathaniel!" She shot out of bed and was by his sid in an instant "what the fuck are you doing?!"

(me neither. We can finish up this scene and then skip forward to whenever)

Nathaniel whined. He had hit his head against the bed, glass scattered about and food spilled onto the floor. He frowned, whimpering as he tried to move. He glanced up at Ember, unhappy with her tone of voice. Little tears pricked his eyes. “I wanted to stretch my legs.” He mumbled feebly, his hand placed on his head. “I didn't want to lay in bed forever.”

(Okies sounds like a plan)

Ember sighed and sat him up gently "its not forever it three days youll be fine im going to stay with you but right now i want you in bed so i can clean this up "

Nathaniel whimpered, tears falling down his face. His emotions have developed into full emotional human ones. He’s extra vulnerable around Ember instead of acting numb. He let Ember sit him up. “O-Okay..” He paused, standing up and stumbling over to the bed.

Ember layed him down in bed before moving over to the broken glass and picking everything up and moving the try over to the nightstand and sighing "please just wait to walk okay? "

"Okay." Nathaniel whispered, his jaw quivering as the inflection of Ember's voice startled him. It was only going to be three days. How long could that be in his mind? A month?

And that day was, in fact, fourth months ago. Nathaniel had recovered by now, studying in his study. He wrote strange words in the black book that almost took his life. But now, things were simple. It was more like a family lifestyle than one of a king and queen. Nathaniel hadn't changed a bit, par Ember's request. The only alarming thing about him was his look of exhaustion. He hadn't slept well the previous night, struggling to not fall asleep at his desk. Nathaniel had started to nod off, his head leaning off to the side.

Ember had of course started to show her pregnancy my this time she has an adorable baby belly that is jut to die for she was in Nathaniels study with him at this time reading a book in a chair off to the side everything had been peaceful no drama or demons trying to kill the it was a win! But there was the whole stress factor ember was dealing with which was hard but Nathaniels presences always helped with that quite a lot actually as to why she's always around him

Nathaniel shook his head, trying to keep himself awake. He couldn’t help but look at Ember and smile. He turned his attention back to the book, neatly closing it and putting head down at the table. It was a sleepy, drowsy day. He wanted to go back to bed, and that’s he did. Yawning, he stood up and went to go back to sleep.

Ember looked at him and smiled before setting her book down " hey where are you going sir?" She smirked a little as she stood up and walked over to him wrapping her arms around him

Nathaniel sleepily rubbed his eyes, flinching and Ember wrapped her arms around him. “Be careful when standing up sweetheart..” He murmured. “But I’m going to go catch up on some sleep. I’m very tired. Maybe you should to.” With a little stretch, he opened the door and took Ember’s hand. “Come along, sweetheart.”

"Im fine dear you don't need to worry about me i promise, why'd you flintch?" She gave him a soft squeeze before taking his hand and following him out of the study "i was thinking i may head to my study later and look into a few things today.."

Nathaniel rubbed her hand. “I just wasn’t expecting you to wrap your arms around me. It’s okay..” He paused. “But I am going to worry about you, you’re pregnant after all..” He led her to their room, yawning as he opened the door. Nathaniel let go of her hand, collapsing onto the bed. “That’s alright with me. As long as you’re careful.”

Ember nodded and smiled a little as they made there way into the bedroom emhad started to wear more dresses than she normally did nothing quite as elegant as the on she wore to the party but they were very beautiful she walked over to her side of the bed and sat down unruffling her dress " i will dear i promise."

Nathaniel straightened himself out, laying on his back, his eyes drooping. "Don't do anything too wild. I don't need you hurting yourself- or worse… Stressing yourself out." He closed his eyes, breathing softly. "I worry about you when you're away from me. What if you need something and I'm not there?" He slipped his shoes off his his feet, climbing under the covers. He opened his eyes. "But every dress you wear looks gorgeous on you and really shows your cute little baby bump." He moved the came up behind her, kissing her neck.
