When did his warmth become so strong and comforting? She should have been the one holding strong between them but right now? He was holding her together, her storm that had clouded her mind faded as quickly as it had come as if nothing had actually happened. She had been Afraid of tying him down, of perhaps telling him the news and him turning away and calling it all a wild mistake. The reality of facing that had become too much and she had every intention to let him walk away from her then and there. But she thought of their child and what she would be taking from them, a father and for her? Her entire heart and being. The way his lips  found their way to hers made her smile, soft and precious kisses that echoed the happiness they both felt as they came together in bliss like any couple would. She giggled softly as she realized there was a change in his stance, stronger and taller as if proud of the life growing inside her as his fingers spread against that soft pudge on her belly and she found comfort in him and his strong arms pulling her close. 

“Do you promise..? I’ve been so afraid you’d change your mind when…” Her voice was soft, almost meek until she scolded herself internally. He was showing her, telling her he wanted to stay. She needed to pull her weight in on this, less he think she didn’t want the same thing. She was going to be a mother again and she wanted to be a stronger presence. “I thought you’d change your mind if you found out I was pregnant.” The words came out more confidently than before but a smile widely adorned her face as she shook her head. “I was being silly, I should have just told you the news.” The words seemed to flow out of her in a more calm tone, admitting to herself that she needed him. She had spent so much time away from him, wondering if he was surviving his training, wanting to press herself into his frame and shield him in affection. 

Eliza had to admit to herself then that she had fallen for him properly, in every sense and now standing here in his arms with this news only made things more clear to her:  She loved him. “Ba—“ Before she could say more, her cheeks brightened as he took her lips in a single sweep as her mouth opened and their tongues danced against each other in playful flickers. She missed his taste, having been avoiding him for days as she made up a thousand excuses for herself to keep her distance. It all seemed so silly now as she moved against him and heat from his breathing made her blood rush as a wetness formed there between her thighs that he was so quick to aroused in her! A chuckle escaped her, her cheeks a bright red as his voice made her heart race in her chest from how loving, how soft he sounded just now. “I promise I’m fine.~ I won’t need rest until..maybe later on. Not that I think you’ll give it.~” 

She said the last words as a playful tease but she knew that was a promise. He wouldn’t let her rest, no. He was going to be on top of her, bending her, making her body his in every way and she knew it. The evidence was there as he pressed that aching bulge against her rear, her cheeks bright as she swayed and pressed herself back into him to tease and make that heat burn even brighter for her in his moment of need. “Ahh..!” She was sensitive to his bite, her nipples hardening and peeking from her dress as she felt his strong hands on her, teasing her and she dared him to tug on that dress to set those supple tits free! “Who says I’m denying my baby boy what he needs~? I’ve been..denying myself from you. I shouldn’t be saying this in my current state, but..I wouldn’t be terribly upset if you bent me here and now.~” 💚
