Prompt: (weather) Blustery Winds
Lazy Day
Sirius felt the bed shift as Marlene rolled over, cuddling up as close to him as she could. He smiled when he felt the small bump of her belly press against him. It still amazed him that he would be a father in just a few short months. He'd only dreamed about what a happy family must be like when he was a child. Soon, he was going to experience it for himself.
He felt Marlene shiver as the wind whistled outside and he pulled the blankets more tightly around them both. He put one arm around her and the other on her side, running his thumb over the bulge of her stomach. "Is that better?" he asked.
"Much," she replied sleepily. "The sound of that wind alone makes me want to shiver. I'm tired of this rainy, blustery weather already. I don't even want to get out of bed in a few hours."
An idea formed in Sirius's mind as she spoke. "Do you have anywhere to go today?" he asked.
"No," she answered after some thought. "Not as far as I know. Why?"
"You could just lay in bed all day," he suggested. "You wouldn't have to leave this nice, warm bed. I could bring you food. It'll be fun."
Marlene propped herself up on one elbow, staring down at him in the darkness. "You'd really let me just lay in bed all day?"
"Why not?" He shrugged. "You deserve it, don't you?" He reached over and laid his hand on her stomach. "Pretty soon, you won't have opportunities like this to just be lazy all day. Enjoy it while you still can."
Marlene smiled and blinked back tears. She laid her hand over his. "We're both lucky to have you. I know you'll take care of me and this baby, no matter what." She snuggled up to him again, burrowing under the blankets so only her head was visible. "I love you."
"And I love you. Both of you." As he drifted off to sleep again, Sirius planned ways to pamper his wife.
