Chapter four
Sunlight streamed in the bedroom where Narcissa slept. Narcissa open her blue eyes and blinked twice unsure who had moved the curtains. Then she remembers where she was and sat up. The maid had folded her clothes neatly for her to wear on the bed. Strange that she had been issue a kimono and not her usual attire. Narcissa didn't linger over it for she shower and dress. Upon exiting the shower she stumble across her mother in law who was no doubt searching through her soil bed sheets. Narcissa was annoy that she would rummage through her bed as if inspecting some handy work. There were two maids who were with her.
"Looks like he did it after all!" one of them could be over heard saying to Mrs. Kuchiki.
"I had doubts but I see now I should not" Mrs. Kuchiki nodded her head unaware she had been caught. The other maid sense Narcissa's reiatsu and pointed her out to her mother in law. Mrs. Kuchiki look steely at Narcissa while the other two ran out of the room. Narcissa didn't say a word but went back inside her restroom hopping she would leave by the time she came out. After ten seconds she storm out please to see she was alone.
She then headed downstairs to find her breakfast ready.
"Where is Byakuya?" Narcissa search for his plate she had hope to see him so she could talk.
"Byakuya already ate miss. He is at school" the butler assures her.
"How long has he been going to school?" Narcissa asked sipping her orange juice.
"Well, he went there while he was married to his late wife so he will be there for a little bit longer then he should be done" the butler pause to estimate in his head.
"I'm sorry for being so controlling but you see my boy causes me to act this way" Mrs. Kuchiki had pulled Narcissa aside for a one on one chat.
Secretly Narcissa doubted that for she took it she was one who force Byakuya to act a certain way not vice versa.
"First thing first you are going to be groom into a mother and wife appropriate for the Kuchiki clan" Mrs. Kuchiki flash her a fake smile. Narcissa felt like she was being studied under a microscope for minor flaws.
"You are going to mold me into the wife of his liking?"Narcissa asked unsure of what was in store for her.
"No, I am going to mold you into one I see fit" she move behind her and toy with her waist. Narcissa had lost a lot of weight due to the stress she was under.
"I don't know if you were brought up to believe that the men are the head of the house"she looks at Narcissa before beckoning her to follow her.
"Yes I was brought up to believe they had more authority and.." Narcissa spoke.
"You are still young but I will see to it you carry out the right tradition that is sure to be pass on to the next generation" her mother in law spoke with sheer confindence. With that she made her way into the mansion and laid out a daily agenda for her to follow.
"You will be taking lessons I see fit for a lady of high class"Mrs. Kuchiki explain out loud.
Two weeks later Narcissa receives the new that he was coming home. Narcissa was in the midst of her calligraphy class when she heard the front door open and greetings exchange. Narcissa excuse herself from her teacher and made her way to the front door where Byakuya stood.
"I am glad to see you" Narcissa cried but fell silent when he ignore her and turn to his loyal butler who also arrives.
"My father had been schedule to arrive at the morgue tomorrow please be sure to relay the message to anyone who calls in reference to that" Byakuya replied un emotional. Narcissa could not believe her ears.
'What happen to your father?" she asked unsure if she should have wait for him to address her on his own. Byakuya looked at her before answering slowly
"I have been assign to take up my father's post as captain of the sixth squad there for I am done with school as for my father he was killed". Narcissa felt a pang in her stomach not only did he act like she didn't exist but her father in law died. One month later Mrs. Kuchiki died leaving the entire Kuchiki estate to Byakuya and Narcissa. Byakuya was seen kneeling over his mother's grave whispering to her. Narcissa shifted uneasy for she was unsure how she would approach her distraught husband. Byakuya had a guilty conscience in regards to his parent's disappointments. Little did his wife know that he was making a vow to his parents.
"Can't believe I am invited to your sister's wedding" Byakuya mutter trying to dress himself in a formal outfit. He had taken time off for his sister in law wedding. It was another month since he married and lost his parents.
"Why you are married to me?" Narcissa threw him an uneasy glance.
"She and I don't get along" Byakuya snapped at her. Byakuya eye her through the full length mirror he was in front of.
"What is up with that?" Narcissa mumble to herself then made a face at him when he wasn't looking. Byakuya was trying to get the gold cuff links on. Narcissa had to admit he was well dress for a wedding he didn't anticipate. Byakuya had on a crisp white vest with a black suit to go over it. There were no coat tails in the back but he had his kenseikon on. The butler then place the silver tie pen on his tie and attaches the gold waist watch on his waist. Personally Narcissa was glad to get out of her kimono and into the familiar clothes she was brought up with. Ever since she married into the family she had to drop her old ways and adopt their ways. It was a bit of a challenge but she had time and patience. Byakuya look at the mirror and notices his wife looking at him.
"She is someone I feel I can't trust" Byakuya hisses with venom. He snaps Narcissa out of her observation.
"Well she is having her big day so please be polite" Narcissa look at him but he made no promises. Instead he walks out the room and left her alone with her thoughts.
Narcissa pick a table with her cousin Regulus leaving Byakuya to follow behind like a lap dog.
"Oh look it's our new relatives "Regulus coo to the Lestranges who walk hurriedly to the other side of the reception.
"What good are they?" Byakuya look at him for answers.
"Well they are old money and if I am not mistaken they have an interesting position" Regulus sips his pink champagne.
"What do they do?" Byakuya pick up his drink and look at it.
"That is something I am not quite sure of" Regulus made an uneasy look. Narcissa clear up her throat and gesture behind her. Andromeda had arrived but with a man she had met name Ted.
"Look that is my sister and her husband!" Andromeda squeal running towards them. Byakuya just roll his eyes in boredom after all he wasn't sure what he was in store for.
"This is Regulus my cousin" Andromeda chatted while Ted shook his hand.
"Please to meet you" Regulus sat with an awkward expression. If Byakuya didn't know any better he say he was uncomfortable around this individual.
"This is my husband" Narcissa was saying and lightly touch Byakuya's shoulder. Byakuya stood up and bow to him before taking his seat again.
"Please to meet you" Ted gush with embarrassment for he was not accustom to Byakuya's way.
"Don't be bashful" Andromeda giggle and stroke his hair. Narcissa just look at her cousin for help.
"What kind of job do you have sir?" Regulus asked trying to muster what dignity he had and converse with this low bred.
"I well uh I don't have a job to be honest" Ted's voice drop when he said that. Byakuya was quick to identity the shame Ted had.
"So what is it that you do on your spare time?" Byakuya asked prodding him along.
"Well I hang out with Miss Black here" Ted smile and look at her on his right. Andromeda gazes dreamily at him.
"Excuse me" Regulus got up and signals Byakuya to follow him. Byakuya oblige and left his wife alone with them.
"De javu" Regulus looks at him and usher him to a drink stand. Byakuya didn't ask what he meant for he figures he would soon explain and he was right.
"She is seeing him and her parents threaten to cut her out of the family fortune is she doesn't stop the nonsense" Regulus said in one breath. Regulus gulps the sake that he ordered for them both.
"Why do I care to know?' Byakuya asked icily.
"I wouldn't expect you to but I know you had a similar experience that is why I enlighten you" Regulus looks at him when he said that. Byakuya continue to make no expression but Regulus didn't falter.
"I wonder what she plans to do?" Regulus asked out loud. Byakuya shifted his eyes towards Andromeda and her lover.
"It is a bold move to bring him here at the family gathering" Byakuya observe out loud.
"I think she is trying to make a statement" Regulus shifted uneasily.
"Then I will excuse myself for I don't feel like witnessing immediate family issues" Byakuya drop his sake shot on the table and left. Narcissa was shock to hear that they were going home so soon.
"Why my lord?" Narcissa ran alongside Byakuya. Byakuya just ignore her and made his way out the reception.
"It's because of Bella isn't it?" Narcissa asked quietly.
"It has to do with your other sister one I wish not to pry into" Byakuya halted in his haste steps. What did he mean? She thought.
Narcissa soon found out the next day her sister Andromeda was ban from her family's side since she chose to get engage to a low bred man like Ted. Even worse Bella was furious that her wedding had been ruin by her sister's domestic issues. Narcissa knew well to stay away from her parents since they were on a war path against her sister Andromeda.
"How is Bellatrix's honeymoon?" Byakuya asked not looking up from his plate of breakfast.
'Well she is um not going on one anytime soon" Narcissa felt a lump in her throat. Her luck her husband didn't ask anything more. They sat there in silence each reading a newspaper or eating. Finally when Byakuya finish his reading he announces he was going to leave. Narcissa nodded at him but didn't reply for she knew well enough she was expected to keep her questions to herself. It wasn't till lunch time did she feel sick. Narcissa was sure it had to been stress of her family for she ate what Byakuya ate. Just then her stomach tighten and her mouth water. I think I am going to throw up she thought running to the restroom. Sure enough she threw up. A doctor was summon to the Kuchiki manor.
"Well sir could you tell me what is wrong?' Narcissa asked turning ghastly pale.
"I am sure that what you have is nothing to worry about" the doctor chuckle putting away his instruments.
"What do you mean?" Narcissa asked unsure if he was sure of himself. How dare he take thing so lightly when she was feeling miserable!
"You are with child" the doctor patted her clammy hand.
"I am?"Narcissa asked tying to grasp reality.
"You are two months pregnant to be exact" the doctor winks at her.
"Captain Kuchiki sir you have a message from your wife" a sixth squad member bow down I front of him. Byakuya sat in his office writing in his report.
"Yes"? Byakuya asked not moving from where he sat.
"She says for you to be over joy for you are going to be a father" the messenger beam with pride but fell silent when he glare at him.
"Is that all?" Byakuya snap annoy at this man nosiness.
"Yes sir" the man hesitated before bowing curtly and leaving. Byakuya sat back and ponder what this meant for him. Narcissa waited with hope that he might come running to her but instead she got no reply.
"You think he be happy" Narcissa sulk around her cousin who appeared by her side.
"He is! I imagine he is forcing himself into believing you will bear him a son" Regulus smirks at her.
"Why would he be forcing?" Narcissa asked naively.
"Well his late wife could not bear him one remember and for you to wind up pregnant you have already accomplished something she could not have" Regulus patted her head.
"I see "Narcissa nodded with some small guilt.
"Tell your parents I am sure they could use the good news right about now" Regulus joke picking up an olive and eating it.
"Yes I suppose I have to" Narcissa sat down to write a letter.
Another month had pass since Narcissa found out she was had just been invited to her best friend Zabini's wedding.
"I am so excited" Narcissa blush allowing her maid to help her dress out of her kimono and into a more appropriate British custom respectively saying.
"Look at my sister isn't she so cute" Bella woo elbowing her husband's rib cage he just smirk and nodded his head in agreement. Regulus was standing with them dress in a maroon suit with a white flower on his breast pocket.
"My oh my" Regulus chuckle and threw her an arm for her to grasp.
"You certainly look radiant for someone who is three months pregnant" Regulus ran a finger over her still small stomach.
"Thank you" Narcissa smile and stroll out of her mansion.
"So what is so important that keeps your husband away from us?" Bella asked tossing her a disapproval look.
"He is very busy" Narcissa quickly replied not wishing to get in detail with her little contact of Byakuya. They arrive at the gothic church and argue over where to sit. Regulus insisted that they sit in the back pew so Narcissa won't be easily exhausted while Bella argue she wanted the front row.
"How about we split up?" Mr. Lestrange offers the compromise. Bella immediately agree and force her way in the front aisle where the immediate family should be. Of course this would not have been tolerated but Bella always got her way. Regulus just cover his mouth and stifle a laugh when he saw the expression the bride's family threw at his cousin in law who look like he rather be anywhere but there.
"No offense Cissy but sometimes your sister can be hard headed I mean if you are closest to the door then you should sit near it that way you don't have to burden your feet right?" Regulus whisper ushering them into a empty pew in the back. Just the ceremony began. The groom came out with his mother then the bridesmaid. Regulus would throw looks every now and then to see if he could spot his obnoxious cousin. Narcissa lean her head against Regulus's shoulder.
"When is the bride coming? Regulus whisper rather impatient.
"Why do you have to be somewhere?" Narcissa asked in a teasing manner. Regulus threw her half a smile and stiffens when he heard the bride is coming song.
That would be her cue Regulus thought to himself. The bride appears with a lovely mermaid wedding gown that complimented her womanly features. Nice thought Regulus who eyes her top to bottom.
"Say cousin why didn't you have one for your big day I mean you have the looks" Regulus look at his cousin who was alert now. Narcissa look over at her and blush.
"I don't think my mother would have let me flaunt my assets" Narcissa giggle at the thought. A liquid sensation was felt running down her right thigh. Narcissa furrow her brow and look down to see a dark trickle of blood. Please no! She thought her mind racing as the red stain appears on the front of her white dress.
"Regulus" she hiss trying to sound calm but sounded more like a rattle snake trying to ward off danger. Regulus was still gawking at the rear view of the bride when he looks over at her. The color from his face immediately went away as he grew paler by the sight.
"I need to see a doctor" Narcissa whimper lowering her hands down and trying to stop the blood from traveling. Her hands soon became red and the flow continues to increase.
"I will get Bella" Regulus made his way out the pew.
"No don't cause a scene" Narcissa grab his arm staining his maroon sleeve with her blood. Regulus threw her a look like she was crazy but held his tongue. Think Regulus think his mind scramble trying to get the control of the situation ah ha he thought of a solution while escorting Narcissa out the aisle. Regulus look around to make sure no one was around to see her and led her out the doors that were un attended.
"I need you to come back here immediately Cissy is having a complication" Regulus recorded his message on his patronus and sent it to Bella. Bella was just criticizing the dress when a patronus appear in front of her. What the hell! Bella thought outrage that her cousin would stoop low to play childish pranks at a formal ceremony.
"We need go now if we have any chance on finding the solution" Narcissa cringe with sweat. Regulus look over his shoulder hopping Bella had receive the message. Knowing her she probably made a scene he thought not wishing to wait any longer for her. The doors flew out and a rather distraught Bella came running out to them. Rodolphus follow her behind claiming they should go ahead while he summons a doctor to meet up with them at the manor. When they got there the servants were alerted by the doctor who had arrived a second earlier. Bella and Regulus help Narcissa in bed while the doctor took out his tools and instructed the Kuchiki staff.
"Ow!" Narcissa wince feeling pain and was panicking now. "
"Please help me save my baby" Narcissa sob through tears clutching her sister's hand. Regulus ran to get a wet towel and dab her forehead when the maid knock and enter.
"Please see these two out" the doctor was overheard ordering. Bella open her mouth to protest but the maid snag her and her cousin anyways.
"How rude is he! I should be there with my sister who is in agony" Bella holler at the maid but it did her no good. The maid deliver them out the room and went back inside sure to lock the door behind her. Regulus just strolls down stairs in the living room where Rodolphus was.
"What do you think is happening?" Regulus asked lighting a cigarette and inhaling the fumes.
"I think she is going to be fine'' Rodolphus nodded his head and reach for a cigarette Regulus had offer. Mean while upstairs the door open prompting Bella to jump out of her antique chair. The doctor came out dabbing his forehead with a handkerchief.
"The little lady will be fine only she is no longer expecting" the doctor eye Bella for any outburst he was sure he would have.
"What happen?"Bella asked in horror.
"She had a miscarriage" the doctor patted his breast pocket to make sure his handkerchief was intact.
"Will she be able to have kids?" Bella asked uncovering her mouth after the first shock.
"Yes" the doctor flashes her a reassuring smile.
Mean while in the soul society
''Captain you have a message from your butler" the messenger bow and waited for his Captain's response.
"Yes? Byakuya asked sensing the distress in his voice.
"Your wife lost the baby" the messenger gulps when he said this. Byakuya felt as if someone had reach in his chest and rip out his healing heart.
"What? How?" Byakuya jump outrage from where he sat in his office.
"Sir you have to talk with your wife to find out that was all I was disclose with "the messenger hastily defended himself. Byakuya use quick step and left the soul society not even bothering to alert his lieutenant. When he arrives at the manor he was greeted by Regulus and Rodolphus.
"What happen to her?" Byakuya search their faces to see how bad the situation was. Before either could reply it was Bella who stood at the top of the stairs that answer him.
"She had a miscarriage when she went to a wedding" Bella lower her heavily lidded eyes at him. Byakuya just lock his eyes on hers. Rodolpus just look to and from them both. Regulus was flabbergasted for he had just learned the status of his cousin's condition.
"What was she doing to have brought this on?"Byakuya asked trying to sound open minded and not jump to offense mode. He was sure he had not learned of any wedding that might have drawn his wife out.
"She was standing in pew with me when it happen" Regulus explains his voice quivering slightly. Once Byakuya got the down load he then made his way up to the master bedroom where narcissa was being kept. Upon entering the dark room he notices she was groggy and was un able to sense his presence. Byakuya lower himself on a chair that he had drawn quietly and sat next to her in bed. It didn't take long for his pupils to get dilated and he could make out objects. Byakuya allow his eyes to wander the pitch black room and notice there were medicines discarded on the night stand. He simply sat next to her and waited for her to wakeup however she did not. Byakuya waited till the next day to see her but just when he was about to rouse her a hell butterfly appear summoning him back to the seretei. Byakuya just sigh and made his way back to the soul society. On his way out he alerted the servants he was leaving. Regulus and the lestrange had left thinking he was going to want privacy in consoling narcissa. When Cissy awoke the butler told her Byakuya had arrived but said nothing for her to hear. Narcissa felt a guilty conscience creep up on her since she had let him down and now he was probably angry at her for the disappointment.
"Oh Cissy it's not your fault is he is impotent" Bellatrix look over at her younger sister. It was Christmas time and Bella had been summon to the Kuchiki mansion where she stumbles across some woes of her sister.
"He hasn't even look at me! I mean ever since he got the stupid position of captain he has been far too busy with work and not me" Narcissa whine blowing her nose in a handkerchief. Bella didn't say anything for she felt her brother in law was a douche bag.
"You already know how disappointed father is that you didn't have kids" Narcissa sniffle.
"Wait a moment! It was determine that I cannot bear children so it's not my fault!" Bellatrix jump outrage from her chair.
"Yes well there is Andromeda" Narcissa continue to speak "according to Sirius she is pregnant and she may have a baby before any of us".
"Don't mention that name! After all she chose to marry someone below our class" Bellatrix snap irritably.
"Yes, but you think I could at least put some ease in our trouble family minds" Narcissa sob uncontrollably.
"Byakuya is not ready! That is probably it" Bellatrix look at her sister's wedding picture.
"Either that or he doesn't want to have children" Narcissa fell on her knees.
"No, he has no other choice but to make an heir for his clan" Bella fell on her knees and patted her sister's back.
"Then can you imagine how disappointed I turn out to be? Unable to provide him an heir! "Narcissa look up through tears.
"Don't cry Cissy you ought to know you look ugly when you cry" Bellatrix pulled her blonde hair out of her face. Narcissa just blink her blue eyes in a hurt manner. Bella began to feel slightly bad that she had insulted her little sister.
"Oh really" Bella snap angry at herself. Bella stop putting Narcissa's hair in a chignon.
"Besides sister I have a little secret to share with you" Bella coaxes knowing this would enlighten her sister.
"Really? "Narcissa asked her face changing from sad to curious. Bella shook her head and look around the room to make sure they had privacy. Narcissa was becoming more and more impatient.
"Tell! Tell!"Narcissa lean over and pull her sister towards her.
"Well you see it has to do with me" Bella flash her a wolfish grin.
"What is it about?" Narcissa squeal in delight.
"You remember when I travel to Russia and Germany?" Bellatrix began with a dreamy look on her face. Narcissa had never seen her sister so daze.
"Yes and?' Narcisssa clap her hands together.
"Well I went by myself remember?" Bella continue trying hard to not get to the good part.
"Yes!" Narcissa nodded her head vigorously causing her chignon to become loose.
"And so um I met someone" Bella slow her words down.
"Who?" Narcissa asked not sure if it were someone she already knew.
"Well it was a guy and his name is Tom Riddle. He is no one you have met" Bellatrix hastily added for she knew her sister was going to question her.
"Oh? So what is the big secret? Narcissa asked sitting back on her heels.
"He is a lover of mine" Bella look shock when Narcissa fail to grasp the point.
"What? How does Rodolphus feel? Narcissa asked shock.
"He doesn't know besides he doesn't pay me any mind like your husband so what else can I do?" Bella flash her a coy smile. Narcissa just sat pale as a ghost. She was in disbelief after all her father would have a heart attack if he knew one of his daughters were unfaithful to his son in law.
"Don't look so frighten Cissy" Bella soothing voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Why not?" Narcissa could help but wonder how long she had been seeing this guy. Trying to rack her brain she figures it must have been well over a year or two at least.
"I can handle myself besides I don't want you babbling to your no good for nothing husband" Bella grin at her.
"Why would I tell him he is hardly around" Narcissa look up at her face.
"I know Cissy but something tells me if he knew he be happy to expose me for what I am" Bella wink at her. Bellatrix got up and left her alone. Narcissa wonder if her cousin Regulus knew.
"Well cousin how is the married life?"Regulus asked chunking a rock in Byakuya's Koi pond. Narcissa just pale before answering "it's ok I guess". Regulus turns to her and studied her face.
"Why do you say that?" he asked slowly as if frisking her for something.
"I am not one to complain but he ignores me and I have to put up with the loss of our baby by myself" Narcissa fought back tears in her eyes. Regulus seems to have guessed she was on the verge of crying for he looks away and didn't say much.
"It's hard I imagine" Regulus spoke minutes later when she calm down.
"You don't know the half of it" Narcissa twisted her hands anxiously.
"I can only imagine "Regulus bent down and gather another rock.
"Well at least my in laws are gone so I won't have to worry about their input" Narcissa sniff gathering a rock of her own.
"Hmm" Regulus brow furrow as he asked "Doesn't he have a grandfather still alive?"
"Fortunately yes but he is always busy with work whatever that is" Narcissa made a face.
"My poor cousin you have been for a while and yet you don't know much of your new family" Regulus half joke and tease.
"Yes but it's not me! If Byakuya would tell me things then I would know" Narcissa chunk the rock with force and miss a fish that went by. Regulus looks at her with interest.
"Why not make a date you know demand him to be attentive" Regulus elbow her in the ribs.
"He wouldn't oblige" Narcissa shook her head.
"Why he must have change last I saw him he was rude and hot headed remember" Regulus rack his brain trying to remember when Byakuya metamorph.
"He is not the same anymore" Narcissa hiss angrily.
"So do you like him now or then?" Regulus asked intrigue.
"I can't say I like him now" Narcissa answer slowly.
"So how did you wind up pregnant?" Regulus lean over and eye her.
"I well we... you know it was expected of us both and we just did what we had to do it's not like we fell in love" Narcissa gush red.
"Oh" Regulus smile turn to a frown.
"He is an icy one isn't he?" Regulus looks down at his hands.
"Yes" Narcissa nodded in agreement.
Byakuya manage to get time off from Head Captain Yamamoto and went to his home where Narcissa waited for him. Narcissa saw to it that the mansion was decorated for the Christmas theme. Byakuya didn't say a word but noted the interior change of his home. It had been a long time since they had time to themselves after all they usually sat in silence but somehow this alone time was different. Narcissa seem more chatty than usual not that he blame her for he took it that she had been coop up in the mansion too long. Then the subject turns to the loss of their baby. Not that's where he perks up since he made it a habit to avoid the sensitive topic.
"Why are you just now mentioning our loss?" Byakuya asked annoy that she had no sense when it came to mentioning the dead.
"I wanted to get feedback on what you thought about our baby! After all you weren't here to console me when I had to go through the agony of losing it let alone mourning it" Narcissa lower her chop sticks and lean over her plate.
"I would rather not discuss it" Byakuya's mouth twitch from anger.
"I want to talk about! After all I normally hold my tongue but now I want to be heard and you should listen to me for once in our marriage" Narcissa slam her left hand on the mahogany table. Byakuya just eye her as if she were an insane hollow. " I want to tell you I would like to have more kids but you never tell me anything so how can I know what is going through your mind?" Narcissa look earnestly at him for answers. Still Byakuya did not answer but sat sipping his water and listening. "I want to move on but if you don't make me feel love and wanted then I cannot move past that point I still have nightmares about it" Narcissa look at him to see if he had any. Byakuya waited for her to say what she had to say then put in his to sense. "All I ask is for you to love me and make me feel love not neglected" Narcissa began to look teary eye. Byakuya felt his stomach twist in a knot for she had a point. For the little time they had together narcissa had always tried to make him feel appreciated while he shuns her away. By now Narcissa had begun to look away and wipe her tears away with her right hand.
"Narcissa" Byakuya lean over and touch her left hand tenderly. Narcissa continue to look away but listen to him.
"I have not mentioned the loss of our baby because I knew how painful it was for you and I didn't want to seem arrogant. The fact that I have spent little time with you is true but I try to visit you when I have time off from work you know as well as I do that my job comes first that is how I was brought up and probably you to. I would like to have another baby in the near future but when you are ready not when I am told to do so by my clan elders" Byakuya hope she would believe what truth he reveal to her after all he was beginning to come around but didn't know how to change after all old habits die hard.
"Do you truly mean that?" Narcissa asked look up at him. She was unsure to believe what he said was true after all he display a different set of emotions each time they were together.
"I was there when you had your loss and you were sedated but nobody told you that I had spent the two days with you waiting for you to wake up. I wanted so badly to comfort you but I left work in a haste and I had to go back to finish unsettle business. "Byakuya lick his lips and continue "I was so scare for you and us that I nearly panic when I heard you lost the baby I wasn't sure if you had gotten attack. Then your sister told me what happen and I began to feel for you. I never wanted that to happen to you despite the fact our marriage was arrange and you weren't my first love. I know you try hard to please me but I can not waver once in public presence for I was trying to keep face around others like your family. I didn't relay a message for you because I had nothing to say that need to be spoken". By now Narcissa had made her way by his side and knelt down on her knees. Narcissa cover her mouth and listen to the confession her husband made.
"I never knew you care for me" Narcissa whisper in shock. Byakuya just nodded his head and fell silent.
"It all happen when you got pregnant and I had to sit down and think things over" Byakuya reach down and stroke her face with care.
'I love you" Narcissa whisper slowly rising up and place her lips gently on his. Byakuya wrap his arms around her and kiss her back.
Thanks for the error two of you have pointed out lol I always gave Regulus that pet name oh well anyways I went through and corrected it. Thanks for the advice I look forward to them.
