AN
Rating: K+
Pairing: Meggie/Dustfinger
Verse: AU. Meggie is legal. Blah. Etc.
She was by no means a girl anymore but her frame was almost as small as one. As youthfully beautiful as one, and now look what he'd gone and done. He'd gone and marred her beauty with these.
"What are you so afraid of?" Meggie had asked him the night they had become one.
'This,' Dustfinger thought as his fingers traced the stretch marks running across her abdomen. He'd seen this happen to Roxane when she was pregnant with Brianna. Oh how he had hated himself for doing that to her. But his reluctance had done nothing more than encourage Meggie to pursue, and now he watched Meggie fill out with a child he had never expected but loved all the same.
He was pulled from his thoughts as she grabbed his hand and held it in place. As he glanced at her face and the glow it held, the tension in his forehead that he hadn't know was there dissipated, and there in its place a smile painted across his features.
"Feel him kick?"
A genuine smile – one that reached his eyes and made them twinkle.
