Ashreil caught Shom in deep contemplation. Her brow was furrowed, lips screwed into a pouting bow and there was a smoldering light in her eyes that told him the thing of which she was thinking was going to be a contention point for a while.
That did give away what it was she was thinking about of course, because they had already "discussed" the very thing the eve of their wedding. He smiled at that. It really had been a true discussion. It quickly flew into a heated debate and had even started to get a little on the violent side. He had caught her both of her arms as she has swung to slap him and quickly kissed her before she had decided to headbutt him. What followed from there had her in her current condition.
He came up behind her and wrapped his arms about her resting his hands under her swollen abdomen. As he bent to kiss the back of her neck he heard her sigh. "You're projecting, you know."
She felt his lips curl into a smile as he spoke. "Yes but it helped to achieve my goal."
"I really wish you would stop the distractions love...mmm." she trailed off as he nuzzled her neck.
"Nope, the healers told me to make expressly sure that you did not stress yourself over much and fretting over what may be is a needless reason to stress."
She pulled away and turned on him. "It truly does not disturb you that could not see ourselves in the near future?"
"What will be will be, we need not worry about what we were shown, my love."
"Seriously?" she said incredulously.
He sighed in frustration. "Dearest, you need to settle. Your rising discomfort is not good for the youngling inside. And we have seen that this one will be critical in events to come." That finally seemed to get through the anxiety that Shom Hii had been projecting over the countryside. "Come mind the now, let the future tend itself for a while."
Sorry I had lost the muse and everthing i wrote seemed too much or wrong somehow. This seemd a bit more to go with the flow without going too slow. I have other ideas i am going to introduce in this story and i do not know quite when they will pop up.
Tavae
