Welsh:
1 = Where are you?
2 = Surprising.
3 = I love you, dearest.
Lowri smiled as she walked along the streets, thinking of the time when she would return home. Her love, Pitch, would be waiting for her.
It had been ages, it seemed, since she had seen him. The thin face of the man she loved was something she missed above all else, during the working day.
This girl who had fallen in love with the Nightmare King had something to tell him, too. She mused on this.
"How will he not have nightmares?" Her feet had brought her to the bed in the middle of the forest, and she smiled, tracing along the jagged, splintered wooden planks, before climbing down carefully.
"Pitch? Ble wyt ti?¹" Her voice echoed along the corridors. She felt her face glow with happiness.
Pitch heard the familiar notes of her voice and smiled. Lowri. He stood up from his chair and headed for the maze of corridors.
"Lowri, is that you?" He felt happier, already. He knew it was her.
Lowri smiled and went along with the game. "Maybe, or maybe it's just a random person!" she joked, a sunny smile spreading across her face.
"Well, I'll just have to find them," called Pitch, and he smiled again. Lowri was home. Everything was right in this world.
He appeared behind Lowri and she hugged him.
"How was your day?" Pitch asked. He brushed a piece of hair away from her face.
"Syndod². You will never ever guess, darling."
She stood on her tiptoes and reached up, bringing her lips to Pitch's ear.
"I'm… pregnant. We're going to have a child."
Pitch felt like an exploding star. His heart rate went up and he whirled her around. His Lowri. His star in the ink black darkness. Lowri giggled, clinging to him and dropping a kiss on his head.
"Lowri, I love you. Do you know that?"
Lowri smiled at him. "I love you too, dearest."
Pitch put her down before offering his arm. "Let us go have a celebratory dinner."
Lowri slipped her arm through his, laughing and her eyes sparkling.
…Time Skip! Two days!...
"No way! You're pregnant? Oh my god, I'm so happy for you!" Melvin shrieked, hugging Lowri.
"Yeah, I've applied for maternity leave. You might have to say goodbye for a while!" Lowri grinned at her friend and he burst into tears.
The brunette gasped and hugged her friend. "Oh, sweetie, I didn't mean it like that!"
"It's not that… I'm just happy!" He hugged her and then stood back.
"Now, don't let me catch your cravings, okay?"
Lowri burst out laughing. "Hey, Melv, that's not how it works..."
She caught sight of Pitch outside and a huge grin broke out on her face. Pitch blew her a kiss before moving on. She felt a blush spread and Melvin looked sideways.
"So is your gorgeous boyfriend that you keep talking about all the time the father?"
She rolled her eyes. "Duh. My boyfriend's the most gorgeous thing in existence, Melv."
He raised an eyebrow. "Well, I was only asking, Lo. It's not like no one in the history of the world has cheated on their significant other."
Lowri rolled her eyes. "Yeah, but I love him, Melv."
Melvin cooed. "Ah, so cute!"
Lowri downed her water and Melvin frowned. "Don't you usually have coffee?"
"It tastes weird now. My taste buds have gone really weird and horrible." She made a face and sighed.
Melvin laughed at his friend's downfall, and received a glare. He gulped.
… Time Skip of Awesome…
Pitch looked up as he saw Lowri approaching and grinned, slipping into the trees. He saw her walk over and then she looked around, puzzled.
"Pitch?"
Lowri frowned. She was sure she had seen the fleeting shadows that followed Pitch around. Maybe – the thought made her giggle – her dearest idiot was playing hide and seek with her.
She crept up to the nearest tree and looked for him, looking up in case he was in the branches. Someone caught her hand, a very familiar someone, but when she looked no one was there. She stood still and saw black hair.
"Aha!" She caught Pitch around his middle and he laughed out loud.
"Okay, you caught me." He leaned towards her, lips brushing hers as he smiled like that. Her heart skipped a beat and she laughed softly.
"Rwyf wrth fy modd i chi, annwyl.³" She reached a hand up and tapped his nose. He picked her up before carrying her to the lair. Lowri was the one who lit up his life.
So this is a starting chapter. It will end tragically. I'm sorry if anyone cries. Please review, favourite or follow!
