Life With Ian

I lay in Ian's arms awestruck. How could I answer that? I mean, of course I loved him and of course I needed him and of course we were having a baby, but marriage? Holy Matrimony was … well absolutely human. Souls did it as well but … But what? Ian was my partner and I loved him more than life itself, obviously, so why was I so shocked? Everyone knows we are partners and everyone knows about the baby but would this just ruin everything? To marry Ian would be to … prove my love to him. Would everything change? Would he act differently? Of course not. Of course it would just be another small detail, a small thing that sounded so big, so permanent. But a Baby was even more permanent, so marriage was nothing. Parents were suppose to be married before they had children, so this made sense. Marrying Ian would only mean one thing. Happiness, everlasting with Ian.

Ian's head was still cradled on my shoulder, his nose nuzzled into my neck so he couldn't see my face. Of course he was expecting some stammering, he was expecting me to make a long pause that was sure to last longer than it did. He was expecting to have to explain.

"Yes" I said it loud and clear, and he quickly looked up in surprise and started stammering himself.

"Why not? I mean, we are already set for life. I don't see why marriage is so uncalled for, sins I am already pregnant. It only means that I am permanently yours which I already am so it's no big deal."

He stared into my calm silver eyes and tried to find some possible hint of dismay or confusion and only saw peace, happiness and love, I made sure of it. Then he laid his lips on me, strong and passionate. Then he laid a trail of kisses down my chin and neck, his hands on my hips and slowly trailing his hands up so that my shirt came up as well. At first I thought he wanted to make love to me again until he stopped tracing my silhouette and skipped over my shirt to lay a trail of kisses on my stomach.

"Did you hear that baby? Wanda said she would marry me!"

At that moment Jared came barging in.

"Oh sorry, am I interrupting something" he asked?

"No of course not., We were just discussing some important things" I said with a smile slowly forming on my lips but already in my eyes.

"Good. Because I need to hide and Mel would never look for me here"

"What did you do?" Ian asked, obviously please that Jared was in trouble.

"Well … I sort of .. Well kind of mad he a little angry. It's a long story …"

He was interrupted by the door being kicked down by none other than Melanie Shryder.

"Have you seen my stupid Boyfriend?"

"Oh you cheater, you weren't suppose to ask anybody" Jared said, getting up from behind our mattress.

"Well I really don't think this is fun, you were suppose to hid in a dark corner were no one could see you or hear you"

"Come on that would be way too easy, you could so find me"

"That's the point. I find you and you …" There voices trailed of into the hall way as they walked of. Then, all I herd was "Ohh, well you should have explained it better. How am I suppose to know this is some kind of freaky sex thing" and "Shut up people can hear you"

Ian got up and looked into the hall, then lifted the door back up and came to lay on top of me.

"You know what I was thinking?'

"That Mel has got one hell of a sick mind"

"No" then he kissed me again placing his hands back were they were and continuing to lift my shirt till it was over my head and then on the floor.

"Oh, so you were turned on by Melanie's freaky sex game were you?"

"No"

He started to slide his hands through the rim of my pants and trailing kissed down my neck.

"What then"

"I was thinking we should celebrate. The best way I know how"

I was back lying in Ian's arms. My breath was haggard and I was exhausted. Ian was right, he was good at protecting me, and he was good at kissing me but he was defiantly better at making me happy. It was the best thing he could do, and celebrating was always amazing when it came to Ian. My thoughts were everywhere, and I was starting to wonder if I could contain anymore information. I was having a baby, getting married in a cave, extremely shy and altogether I was the happiest I have ever been. My checks were red and not only because I was exhausted but because I was shy. My checks were flaming and Ian whispered into my ear

"You're so sweet when you blush; I think your checks are always red"

"That's not true, there only red when your around"

"Good, they better stay that way" I turned over in his arms so I was facing him.

"They will, I promise" and I kissed him and my checks got even redder.

Chapter 5

"Wait, wait wait. You're telling me you're planning on getting married in this cave? No, I will plan in, you have no idea what a wedding is suppose to me and I want it to be amazing" Melanie had finished her ranting and was moving on to finding a dress, Wanda was half listening, because she could only think about her groom. She was about to tell Mel there was no way she was walking in to a bridal shop to buy a dress because it was much to dangerous when strong arms raped around her and twisted her around to face him.

"Hello beautiful" Ian introduced himself followed by a passionate kiss "You were on my mind all morning"

I was blood red when the second syllable of Beautiful was out of his mouth and by the end of his sentence I felt like my face would suddenly combust.

"God get a room" Mel exclaimed

"I was hoping to do just that" Ian continued. I was staring at my feet, to shy to look at his face

"Oh Ian I can't. I still have to help seed the east garden and we have to clean the mirrors today and its my turn to make dinner and Mel was just talking to me about … "

Ian stopped me with a kiss that seemed to last forever. Mel made a gagging sound and Ian ignored her.

"I don't care about the east garden, why don't you ask miss Hide and Seek to help you out and take your shift so you can spend some quality time with your Fiancé"

I was surprised at how blunt Ian was. He usually was never so rude, but lately he seemed to care less and less about people.

"I will if you promise never to bring that up again" Melanie said, obviously annoyed

Ian whisked me away to out room and started kissing me lovingly. Then stopped and got to his knees. He lifted my shirt and pressed his ear to my belly.
