It was almost 8am when I woke up this morning. As usual, Gabe was wrapped around my body after a sinful night of activities. My body felt refreshed despite the bruises littering the slender column of my throat I now caught a glimpse of as I stood in front of the bathroom mirror after untangling myself from him.
A smile came to rest against my lips. Life was good. For once in our relationship - I felt settled. I had him. For so long I'd dreamt of moments like these. Being woken up to his welcoming embrace. The right start to the day.
I could hear him downstairs, making a morning coffee he'd told me about when his head had emerged around the bathroom door, hair a mess, chiseled muscles protruding. He was so damn gorgeous it hurt my heart at the best of times.
I often wondered if he knew how much I actually did love him. All he'd need to do was backtrack the last year we'd spent together. Being together, not being together. My almost death. Him killing his father. All of those things had pushed us further apart. Including that she-dragon I'd now got one up on. My thoughts were cut short, I wasn't about to linger there again.
Another wave of sickness rushed up my throat, this was the fourth day in a row it had happened. My body trying to tell me something? Well, we've been having a lot of unprotected sex recently. So I guess it would make sense but I was slightly nervous as I stretched up into the back of the cabinet. Yes, I'd kept a couple of tests out of the way just in case.
My heart was pounding as I opened it up, making sure to fully read the instructions. I mean, how hard could it be? Not that I'd ever needed one before. I may have been a virgin before I met Gabriel. Would he be happy about a baby?
With shaking hands, I peed on the stick - feeling slightly embarrassed even if it was only me in the bathroom. Now I had to wait three minutes. Well, kinda rude when waiting for something as life changing as this would be if it was positive.
To make the time go faster, I cleaned up, flushed the toilet and hoped Gabe did not come walking back in yet.
Finally I picked up the pregnancy test. One word staring straight at me. Almost screaming.
We were going to be parents.
Holy fuck. This was massive.
Leaving the bathroom, I grabbed a t-shirt and padded downstairs into the kitchen. Gabriel was there, leaning against the counter. My heart was now threatening to leave its cage, he probably knew something was wrong as I slid between him and the marbled counter top.
Pushing myself up on the counter, I lifted my head - bright blue eyes gazing into his green ones. How the fuck did I get so lucky? Not only to have him be mine, but the father of my baby?
I wasn't sure any words were going to leave me, how could they? The clock ticking in the background reassured me that time hadn't frozen on the spot. Just me who felt transfixed, lost in a clipped moment with him sliding between my thighs.
โI've got some news..โ I whispered. Dropping my gaze to my hands, the shake clear, almost trembling as I showed him the positive pregnancy test in my fingers. โWe're pregnant..โ
Never in a million years did I think those words would ever leave me - especially not spoken to him. But they were. And it was true.
We'd made our very own bloodline.
