》Everyday he look at you, he knew he had chosen well. —you may not be the most educated or best mannered empress consort, —but you are nothing less than devoted. —even when you were trembling under other people’s judgmental gazes, you kept your chin high and your smile unbreakable. —if anything, you are better as his wife and lover, his light in the darkness—and as he rubs his hands over your growing belly, soothing the growing child in your womb, you are sure to be a wonderful mother.
》You are uncomfortable, having an equestrian child is harsh on your body, but you are both determined and excited to meet this child. —even though you could no longer walk by 3rd month, you still demand to be the one responsible at overseeing the designs in your child’s nursery room. —you hardly looked that big in your first trimester, your Cerelos assuring you that the child will be born small to fit your statue, but you quickly learned that carrying a magical being brought its own burden. Literally. —who knew magic had a weight to it? —you didn’t care enough to question the logics of magic. —you simply wanted to enjoy your pregnancy the best you could instead of wasting your time questioning things and chattered away on some other topics relating to upcoming parenthoods and raising a child. —ignoring most of the relevant important questions the Emperor would need to answer and address later. —…maybe that is why others thought you might be a bit empty in your head sometimes.
》Cerelos takes upon himself to be your steed, carrying you wherever you wished to go. —regardless of how busy he is, with piling paperworks and scrolls on his desk, you were and are always his first priority much to his advisors’ frustrations. —he…also didn’t trust you not to fall, struggling with the weight of his child’s growing magic in your belly. —he had seen you falling so often before (over nothing even!) that it is practically a second nature for him to kneel and demand you to climb on his back by the very first glance he sees you. 》you are a chatterbox, a giggly one, and you would comb your fingers through the back of his mane while on his back. —Cerelos would never admit it aloud but he adores it when you run your hands through his hair and down his skin. —more so when you are talking about unnecessary things—your passions, your excitements for the future, everything and nothing. —it…is a nice change from listening to the endless drones on the political matters, his advisors and other important figures’ voices as cold as the incoming winter. —you are the summer to his wintery heart.
》Although you fancied yourself as ‘not all that attractive’ and doubted that other equestrian would consider you beautiful, Cerelos saw otherwise —ever since you and he learned that your pregnancy finally took, people’s heads started turning in your direction. —more and more as your belly continued growing. —you still didn’t see how their eyes burned or how often they approached you out of their own free wills, under the pretense of helping you. —Cerelos started clearing out whatever (public) space you are intending on visiting after catching the previous member of his court attempting to flirt with you, keeping only the equestrian maids you are relatively close to. —He wouldn’t admit that he is being both jealous and territorial of his precious empress.
》You started writing storybooks for your child. —You would start writing while lodging in the castle’s lush garden, humming and hawing at all sorts of ridiculous and fantastical ideas that comes to your mind. —Cerelous isn’t all that great at keeping his suggestions G-rated though, he never really had a childhood, but he tried his best. —otherwise, he is an excellent editor and you cherishes his feedbacks. —all the while he’d be sitting on the ground, with you resting against his larger body. —sometimes you’d fall asleep in the middle of your writing, your pregnancy exhausting. —When you do, Cerelos would hum his songs for a moment to lull you into good dreams, before taking your little body into his arms and scuffles his hooves to stand. —he never failed to press a kiss on your forehead once he tuck you in the shared bed, before he leave for his duties. —you’d giggle a little, having been awake long enough to feel his scratchy beard on your nose and for him to kiss you so sweetly, before you return back to your dreamland.
》Although the…romance had slowed down a fair bit with you yourself focusing on your upcoming motherhood, you and Cerelos still flirted with one other in your/his own ways. —nuzzling is a commonplace. —in private, he’d sing a quiet song to you to ease your anxieties and rub you down unprompted. —you enjoys surprise-kissing him. You had gotten good at tricking the Emperor to lend down so you can a plant a sweet one on his lips. He’d get a little flustered, but he rarely failed not to return one which sometimes lead to…quite a passionate round. —he like massaging your body, ridding the tensions and exhaustions in your muscles. Oh, gods, his hands are so godly that you fall asleep sometimes. Cerelos would shake his head and chuckle at you. —whenever you laments the state of your body, Cerelos would quickly remedy your concerns by kissing every inch of your skin and murmur all sorts of words that would have you burning with embarrassment and flattery.
》you are looking forward to the future together with him and the child. —Cerelos wonders how it would look with more than one child.
