"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.
(I'm going to my least favorite teacher's class so I won't be able to reply to this for about 40 some minutes im sorry)
Ember lagaga little "dear im not going to hurt myself in the study and i have nothing to stress over everything has been calm down here for months we haven't had any trouble with the hunter's or Azazel everything is going great but if it would make you feel better you can come with me when i go i won't head there till later in the day" she spoke the last part with a smile as Nathaniel complimented her gown "but there so fancy though….believe it or now this is my least fancy dress." She giggled a little as Nathaniel kissed her and she moved her head to the side a little bit "i love you dear.."
Nathaniel smiled, listening to her words as she spoke. “I’m just being cautious. You know I worry about you.” He placed his hand on her stomach. “And the child. Can’t you tell I’ve been protective as of late?” He wrapped his arms around her. “Yes, there have been no interruptions, no stressors, and everything’s been well.” Pulling her closer to him, he kissed the top of her head. “I don’t have to go, I’m just cautious. But why do you tend to wear more dresses now? I’ve noticed this slow transition.” He leaned in to kiss the hallow of her neck, looking up at her before kissing her neck again. “I love you too.”
"I know you dear but there's no need to worry about i promise," she placed her hands ontop of his and leaned against his chest smiling "i know that you've been stressing out a lot more than i have…dear you need to learn how you be calm until we have a reason to stress just relax all we need to do is prepare for this baby and that's pretty much taken care of." She paused for a moment as if thinking for an answer "well i just thought it would be more appropriate if i were to wear clothes like this..thee queen running around in jeans or shorts and a tank top isn't exactly…i don't know. "She smiled a little and leaned into the kiss giggling a little bit
Nathaniel closed his eyes, letting Ember lean on his chest. “I just— I want to make sure you’re in good health. I need to make sure there are no complications. I have a lot of scenarios in my mind that could play out. My reason to stress is because I don’t want to loose either of you.” He nuzzled into her neck. “But we already a nursery that was set up previously in the past. No one bothered to take anything down. It’s all neutrals” He took his hands off her belly, rubbing her arms. “Understandable. And dresses are more flexible than any other piece of clothing.” He smiled, kissing the top of her head. “I have a million names floating around in my head for the little one when the time gets closer.”
"I know my love and we are and it will stay like that i promise,there will be no complications and you will not lose us." She moved her head so she was looking at him before leaning up and kissed his neck softly "well see it may need a little cleaning up but it's okay i can do that no problem id say one of the maids couhelp me but their scared of me…" she layed her head against his chest as he rubbed her armsand giggled alittle "what are you hoping for, a girl or a boy?"
Nathaniel sighed. “If you say there will be no problems, I believe you.” He placed his hands back on her belly, closing his eyes, seeing if he could feel the baby move. He smiled when she kissed him, placing his head in the crook of her neck. “Alright..but I want to help too.” He pouted. “I want to set up the nursery too.. but I can tell the maids to help you. They’re just scared you’ll be mean. Unfortunately, my grandparents weren’t so nice..” He lifted his head up, taking a hand away to place it on her head. “I don’t mind if it’s either, but I kinda want a little boy.”
She gave him a smile and nuzzled against his chest "everything will be fine dear." She laughed a little and nodded "okay okay you can help i just thought it would be something i could do….." she paused before huffing "but im nothing but nice to them it makes no sense!" She took a deep breath and rolled her eyes "well..i have feeling its a girl…"
Nathaniel ran his fingers through her hair. “Alright, alright! I believe you, Ember. Everything will be alright. I have no reason to judge your judgement.” His eyes sparked with excitement. “Really? I can help!” It was a little silly that he was excited over such a little thing, but he wanted to help set up his child’s room. He was excited to be a dad. “I’m just— I wanted to be a father so bad.” He nuzzled into her neck, taking in her scent of honey. “The maids are just— how do I say this..? Traumatized.. but I can’t really do anything about it.” He wrapped his arms around her. “Really? You think it’s a girl? Well, sometimes mother’s can tell the gender— it’s strange to me, but-“ He shrugged. “How do you like the name Roselyn for a girl?”
(HOW DID YOU PICK MY NAME IDEA BRO)
Ember laughed and held him close to her "i love you very much dear." She kissed him and smiled a little "yes you can hel me very exciting i know!" She couldn't help but tease him a little bit he was just so cute it was impossible not too, she nodded her head and giggled "this is so exciting i can't wait to see our baby, i- i actually really like that name."
(I am basically god lol. I just picked a random name from my list of irrelevant OC’s)
“I love you too, Ember.” Nathaniel kissed her back on the cheek, leaning his head on her shoulder. “Yay! I like helping! I can decorate the nursery with so many exciting things! I have some nice things in storage!!!” He was like an excited puppy, yapping a mile per minute. “It is very very exciting! I cant wait!” He played with her hair and fixed her dress. His suit was getting somewhat crumbled from her cling to him, but that was okay! He lived for these moments with his wife. “I can’t wait to see our little on too, but we have five more months before then.” He gave her another kiss. “And is glad you like that name. It’s my one favorite names for a baby girl.”
She laughed at his enthusiasm and placed her hand on his chest before she leaned up and kissed his neck again in a few different spots all while giggling "your so excited it's adorable,i love you so much!" She pushed Nathaniel onto the bed so they wer both laying down and while still giggling she left small kisses alover his face and neck "but five months is so long! I just wanna hold them!"
Nathaniel was surprised by her sudden kissing, making a few soft sounds as she planted kisses along his neck. He wrapped his arms around her. "I am adorable? First time I've heard that, but I am excited to set up the nursery, Ember. I'm excited to have a baby and be a helpful father. That's why I am so enthusiastic." He kissed her back. "I love you too, my queen." He smiled at her, not expecting her next move. His face grew red when she pushed him down onto the bed, and it grew redder with the more kisses she planted. "You need to be careful, Ember. Five months will go by in a flash, and we'll be holding our baby. I promise."
Ember laughed and continued to kiss on him "im so excited i feel like im going to explode." She nuzzled up against him and smiled the way she was acting was absolutely adorable and she couldn't herself but laugh "oh but baby you are! Your so damn cute it's unbelievable!" She shook her head and huffed " i am being careful! Im just showing you love.."
Nathaniel’s face grew redder as she continued to kiss on him. He might explode from affection. “Now don’t explode on me, Ember.” He smiled, holding Ember loosely. She was acting like a cat, nuzzling against him to mark him with her scent. He was a piece of her territory. He cupped her cheeks and kisses her. “You are also adorable! You’re cuter than me. Can you believe it? I’m not that cute.” Nathaniel let go of her face, pressing a kiss to her neck. “I’m sorry dear, I didn’t mean to stomp out your fun. Please, continue as you wish. I love when you show me affection.”
(Not Nathaniel saying that ember, a werewolf is acting like a cat lmao)
"Im not going to literally explode im just excited!" She laughed a little bit and continued to hold onto him "i know im adorable but you are also very cute dear!" She kissed him back lovingly as she smiled softly a light butterfly feeling forming in her stomach caused her to blush which usually happened when he would kiss her, her eyes fluttered closed as he kissed her neck and she shook her head "i will thank you..and nobody can stop me. "
“I know, I know! But still no exploding. It’s rude.” He smiled, wrapping his arms around her back. “Nooo, I’m not as cute as you, my love. You are so enthusiastic and sweet. You get so excited over over child, it’s adorable.” He looked at her ears and started to play with one. “And look, your body is starting to change. It takes a long while, but my blood will alter your physical features.” He ran his thumb to the point of her ear. “Your ears are pointy like mine.” Nathaniel pulled his hand away, kissing her forehead. “You’re a tad bit frisky, aren’t you?”
Ember looked as if she was pouting after he said that "but you are cute! Your so cute it's unbelievable, your excited too!" Her face went red at him touching her ear she was confused at first and then her eyes widened "what? Their pointy?? " she moved her hand to the war he was touching and felt it "oh! It it is! Why is that that's so strange! "
Nathaniel giggled, booping Ember on the nose. “Alright then, I’m cute. But you’re also cute, my love. We’re both excited, so that accounts for it.” He pulled his hand back, kissing Ember. “Yes, pointy!” He wrapped his hands around her neck. “It’s because my blood alters your body slowly. Make you more— demon like.”
Ember scrunched her nose and turned her head away "I don't like that, and yes you are very cute. " she kissed him back softly and smiled holding him close to her as if he were to disappear if she let go she loved this man dearly with all her heart "that's so strange I didn't think it would do that! "
Nathaniel frowned, furrowing his brow. “Why not? It’s just a little nose boop.” He kissed her on the head. “I am very cute, according to you. But my blonde hair is a mess.” He gently grabbed her head, pulling Ember closer. He kissed her gently, holding his kiss before going in for more kisses. He pulled himself away for a minute. “I’m not going anywhere, love. We should rest for a little and get some sleep.” He pulled her back in for another kiss, deeply wishing he could hold their baby in his arms. But he would cherish these moments precious to him for now.
