I glanced around at everyone's faces and wasn't really surprized at their expressions. They were all shocked but the only one that looked happy for me was Sandman. I looked at Jack and he looked like he was in pain but then he broke out of it and his face turned into one of confusion.
"Hello? I'm still here, could you not stare please?" I wrapped my arms around my chest feeling like a freak show.
Haven't they seen a pregnant girl before? I think that the Toothfairy was the first one to break out of her stupor. She nudged the bunny who almost fell on his ass making me giggle. I had no idea why but that just made me happy for some reason. Granted I still expected them to be angry with me they looked kind of happy when they looked at me. I bit my lip to stop myself from laughing. Damn these new emotions.
Jack smiled then looked at Santa. "Can this happen?"
It was clear to me that they had no clue that we could get pregnant, well I could get pregnant. Santa looked around and shrugged.
"I don't know Jack." I was surprized to hear his Russian accent.
You would think it's Irish or something but Russian was something else. I glanced around and saw the Sandman floating over to me. I didn't move and watched him float over to me and stand next to me. Okay, what's he doing? I saw some different symbols pop up above his head then a question mark. How the hell do these guys understand him? I looked at the Bunny and he looked confused.
"You think this happened, before?"
The Sandman nodded then I saw a figure of Pitch appear above his head then the sillouet of a pregnant woman. Jack, I think, almost fell over when he saw what was above his head.
What the hell was going on? I got my answer when Jack spoke. "Pitch has a daughter already?"
I bit my lip, feeling jealousy rise in my belly. Granted he did already have a daughter but I felt jealous of the woman before me that got to see an entirely different side of him. I felt Jack's eyes burn a hole into my head then four other eyes join Jack's. Shit! I sighed and looked around seeing everyone staring at me.
"Yeah, he has a kid, but apparently that was WAAAY before I was even thunked of." I sighed and felt cold and tired, I need to go. "Look, I would love to hear your argument about this but I need to leave. And, again. I'm really sorry for everything."
I didn't give them a chance to respond and flashed back to my room. This time my powers decided to work and I ended up falling onto my bed. My back began to hurt as I lay there staring at the ceiling.
"You're back?"
I lanced towards the door next to the bed and saw Pitch standing there watching me. I dropped my head back onto the bed staring at the ceiling.
"They know." I didn't need to specify who knew about my pregnancy, he knew who exactly they were.
I heard him sigh before I saw his face hovering above mine. He looked just as hansom upside down that right side up. I placed my hands on my belly feeling my little nightmare inside me move and bump against my hands. I smiled a little then had a thought. How long were these pregnancies? A normal one was nine months but, this could be shorter right?
"Pitch, h-how long am I going to stay pregnant?" I looked into his eyes and saw love and I could almost smell the rubber burning in his head. "Need more rubber to burn?" I teased.
He chuckled and brushed my hair away from my neck. "It depends. I don't remember how long it was before but it may be shorter or longer than normal."
I sighed and sat up. I'm tired of feeling alone and I wanted his company. I crawled over to him and wrapped my arms around his chest. Did he want this baby? I buried my head into his chest and felt him slowly wrap his arms around me.
"what's wrong?" He asked, emotion clearly in his voice.
I didn't want to say thinking that he'd take it the wrong way and tightened my arms around him. "Don't leave me Pitch."
I didn't know why but, I felt alone. I had no one else to share my baby with other than Pitch. My mom wasn't here to help me take care of the baby and my dad wasn't here to make Pitch nervos. I even wanted Westley to see my baby when it's born so he can tease the little guy as he grows up.
"You're scared aren't you?"
Damn it! Motherfucker and his creepy powers. I nodded and refused to release my grip on him. I just wanted one little semblance of peace is all. Is that too much to ask? I will never let go of my family's death, nor will I ever let them fade from my memory.
"Tanya, you don't have to be strong for me. i know you're hurting and afraid. I don't care if you cry I just don't want to see you afraid of me." I felt him stroking my back but it didn't really help.
"Why did they have to go?" I asked.
I probably sounded like a little girl trying to sleep in bed with her mom. I really did want to know why they had to die, why I needed to be cursed to live out my life alone and pregnant. well, not completely alone because I have Pitch now but still relatively alone. I felt Pitch sigh then he fell back against the bed making us lay together in the darkness.
"I love you Pitch, I really do but.. I-i just want my family here to see the baby." I tried to fight off the tears that threatened to come and failed miserably.
"I know. I love you too Tanya, you and our baby." He kissed my forehead and then let go of me for a second. "Theres a dress in the bathroom for you. Go try it on and meet me in the Library."
I blinked then found myself alone in the room. What was he planning? I got up and reluctantly moved into the bathroom to find a beautiful white dress hanging on the back of the door. It looked exactly like the one from my drawing.
"Awww, nice try Pitch." I quickly showered dressed in the dress and pinned my hair up as elegantly as I could.
Wy was he doing this? Was it to get my mind off of the fact that I was pregnant or that I don't have a family. i followed his instructions and went to the Library art room to find him standing in the middle of the room dressed in that victorian suit I drew from before. I giggled and brought my hands to my lips. I bit my finger as I admired how well the outfit suited him. He came towards me and bowed.
"May I have this dance my lady?" He held his hand out to me and smiled.
I qurtised and smiled. I took his hand and let him pull me into the middle of the room. He placed his hand on my waist and I placed mine on his shoulder. He spun us around a few times moving to a unsung melody. Then I remembered a beautiful song that I used to dance to- not that well I might add- when I was bored.
" Say you love me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of
summertime...
Say you need me with you now and always...
Promise me that
all you say is true
that's all I ask of you.."
Pitch smiled and sang back to me.
"Let me be your shelter
let me be your light
You're safe, No one will find
you
your fears are far behind you..."
"All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night
and you, always beside
me, to hold me and to hide me..."
Pitch leaned down and rested his forehead against mine and sang. His voice out sang a hundred of my favorite lead singers in bands or choirs. he mine and mine alone, he loved me and I could tell every word he sang was true.
"Then say you'll share with me
one love, one lifetime
let me lead you from
your solitude
Say you need me with you here, beside you...
anywhere you
go, let me go too
Tanya, that's all I ask of you..."
I giggled when he substituted my nae for the other one in the song. I wrapped my arms around his neck and felt his heart beat against my chest.
"Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime...
say the word and I will
follow you..."
Pitch kissed me quickly then sang with me on the next vers.
"Share each day with me,
each night, each morning..."
"Say you love me..."
"You know I do..."
"Love me, that's all I ask of you..."
Pitch leaned in this time taking my face in between his hands and kissed me. I felt my body spark to life when he kissed me. I held onto him as we kissed then her picked me up and spun around making me laugh.
"Anywhere you go let me go too
Love me - that's all I ask of you..."
Pitch stopped dancing and I leaned against his chest listening to his heart beat. It was smooth and steady, calming and... amazing. It was almost like the rhythm matched mine.
"I love you Pitch." I whispered.
"And I love you, Tanya. And I can't wait to see our baby."
I smiled and held onto him. I felt amazing, maybe he was trying to take my mind off of things and t worked tremendously. My heart was filled with love, not only for Pitch but for our baby as well. I just hope that I don't get morning sickness soon.
