A/N: This came out a lot faster than I expected. After this chapter i might be skipping a head a few months. As for this chapter, have some fluffy? Thanos. I hope you enjoy!

Lily was sitting in bed looking at a book about Xandar. Her lower back was really sore and it made it difficult to get comfortable. And she had some light cramping and bleeding. All in all, it wasn't that good of a day. She tossed the book aside to stand up and stretch her back.

She did a few stretches in hopes of relieving her lower back pain. When that didn't help she groaned and sat down. Then she heard the door open, turning to see Thanos walking in. She gave him a small smile and fell on to the bed with a huff. She felt the mattress dip under his weight, and she could see him start to take off his boots in her peripheral vision.

"Is everything alright my flower?" He leaned closer to her until he was mere inches from her.

"Kinda. I have some lower back pain I can't get rid of." She scrunched her face and wiggled a bit.

"Sit up."

Lily sat up and moved closer to him. She felt the mattress dip some more when he maneuvered himself closer to her. Then she felt a hand start to massage her lower back. It felt nice, and made her go into a peaceful state. She closed her eyes and softly moaned. "How was the rest of your day my love?"

"The same as usual. It does brighten my night to see you every time I come back here." He placed a kiss to the top of her head and continued to massage her back.

"I do love the romantic side of you. And Ronan giving you problems again? I don't see why you haven't killed him yet, it would save a lot of stress." She open her eyes and pushed back on his hands to put more pressure on her lower back.

"He can still be a good ally."

Lily scoffed. "A good ally? He would betray you the first chance he got."

"I didn't know my flower cared this much." Lily softened her look and turned around to face him.

"Of course I do. You're my husband, and I do care about you Thanos. I'm just not good at displaying it." She chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of her neck.

"You show it better than you think. Now to finish off this stressful day, I would like to curl up in bed with my wife and son and fall asleep." He kissed her forehead and smiled down at her.

"I think I can do that." She smiled back and then gave him a chaste kiss.

Thanos took off his tunic and pants and got under the covers. After Lily placed the book on the night stand she returned to his side and curled up against him. She rested her head on his chest and an arm came and wrapped around her in a protective hold. Now both comfortable in each others arms, sleep soon took them both.

Lily was walking with Thanos to his throne room. She was in the middle of eating some soup and wasn't too keen on going to his throne room. Her pregnancy cravings were slowly showing themselves to her. Rose and Gamora were at their studies, which gave Lily some alone time.

Thanos didn't have much to do today and decided to spent most of his time with his flower. Lily could tell he was thinking about something. "Is everything okay my love?"

"Yes my flower. I was just lost in thought, nothing to worry about." She raised a brow and sighed through her nose.

"When you say not to worry about, it means I should worry about...You're not gonna 'adopt' another child are you?" Her eyes widened slightly and she scanned his face.

She heard a low chuckle and he shook his head. "No, I'm not gonna 'adopt' another child. I was thinking about taking a little vacation, before our son arrives."

"A vacation? We haven't had one of those since before Rose was born. Are we going to the planet with the hut?" A smile started to form on her lips. It would be a lovely change of scenery and Rose had never been off ship.

"Yes we are. And it's about time Rose saw something other than the inside of this ship. Why don't you go get Rose and Gamora and meet me at the ship."

Lily nodded with a smile on her face and headed towards the library. Thanos watched her leave, a small smile forming on his own lips. The little vacation wasn't for him, it was for Lily. He knew once she progressed in her pregnancy, and having two other children to take care of, she wouldn't have a lot of alone time.

xXx

Lily was snuggled up against Thanos on the front porch of the hut as they watched Rose and Gamora running and skipping in the field. It made her heart happy that Gamora was being a normal child and having fun. The warmth of the sun beating down on all of them.

And the fresh air was intoxicating. She missed living on a planet, where she could see a blue sky and the sun everyday. Not the dark interior of the Sanctuary II. It also felt like her and Thanos were a normal married couple watching their daughters' play.

As much as she loved being there, she longed for a normal life. But normal wasn't something she would get with being married to the mad titan. Maybe that could change, and they could live here. No one was around anyways.

"Thank you for this my love. I think it did all of us some good." She tugged on his tunic and placed a firm kiss on his lips.

"You deserved this! And with you carrying now, I thought you deserved some time away from the ship. I know you don't like being in there."

"I do like it. I just miss seeing the blue sky every morning. We should do this more often though." She smiled at him and then glanced over to Rose and Gamora.

"I can arrange that."

Thanos pulled Lily closer to him and stared out over the field where Rose and Gamora were. His flower, his queen, his Lily, carrying his son and mother to his daughter. He looked down at her, seeing her brown hair glisten in the sunlight. He knew he cared for her, more so than he did his 'children'. His heart fell full and he felt calm when he was near her. Maybe his caring turned into something more!
