The week drug on for both Kayleen and Shea. They planned the wedding, as much as Liza would let them and daydreamed about the babies. Though Kayleen knew what they would look like, she was at a loss as to what their names would be, that was to be left up to Riddick.

She missed Riddick, his touch, his scent, his warmth at night. She was worried about him even thou they spoke almost every night, it wasn't the same. Kayleen tried keeping her spirits up, but she was slipping. He'll be home soon, just suck it up. She was so tired, all she wanted to do was sleep and for the last few days, that was pretty much all she did do.

Shea paced, she wanted Vaako here with her, planning this wedding. She really didn't want this fuss of it, she just wanted him. Liza insisted and when she got something in her head, there was no stopping her. She tried to keep herself busy, but it didn't help. She stayed with Kayleen most of the time, even took to sleeping in the same room; theirs were too empty without their men.

Riddick was feeling caged in, he needed off this ship, in the open air and he needed Kayleen. Just a few more hours and they'd be home, he promised himself he was never leaving her again. He wondered where along the line he changed, when he started to need her so much. He never needed anyone, only looked out for himself, but now he was almost lost without her and that scared the hell out of him.

Somewhere in the back of his mind, this is what he had always wanted, a home and a family. He just never admitted it to himself, never even entertained the thought because it just was never meant too be. But now… with her, what is really possible? Children, his two little boys, could he really do this without fucking up royally?

A wedding? How did he end up getting married again and to someone like Shea? She was kind and sweet and so warm, not the cold hard bitch he had been married too. Would he end up like Riddick? Whipped with a look of fear and disbelieve in his eyes over the changes in his life? Would that be so bad? He could have children now, never in a million years had he ever thought that was possible, never even wanted kids, but now… if they had Shea's eyes, it wouldn't be that much of a hardship. Now he understood Riddick's apprehension, a little life you were responsible for.

They arrived home in the middle of the night, each man heading for his own rooms, to his own woman without a word. Riddick stopped and with a jerk of his head, indicated for Vaako to follow him.

They were sleeping, each turned the other way, but facing each other. Kayleen laid on her right, Shea on her left, the same side they always laid. Vaako picked up Shea and carried her to their rooms. Riddick undressed and slid in beside Kayleen who instantly snuggled into him with a sigh and a small smile on her lips. She knew he was there even thou she was still asleep.

Riddick just laid there and held her unable to sleep. He thought about his life, his choices and actions and the future. He had never thought of the future other than how to stay out of the slam. She turned over on her left and Riddick spooned up behind her. His hand slid over her hip to settle on her stomach. His heart jumped when he felt the slight mound there. He had only been gone a week? How could her stomach be swollen already? "I missed you." He muttered as he drifted off to sleep.

The sun woke him up, who the hell left the curtains open? He heard the shower running and noticed Kayleen wasn't in bed any longer. Smiling and stretching his muscles, he patted silently to the bathroom and saw her jump when he spoke. "You're up early, why don't you come back to bed?"

She looked at his naked form and smiled, "Got a better idea, why don't you join me?" He didn't need to be asked twice. Stepping into the shower he growled and pulled her to him.

"You smell good Princess, peaches, but now… there's a hit of spice. Beautiful." He whispered seductively into her shoulder as his tongue found his mark. He stopped and cocked his head to the side. "You cut your hair?"

"Yep."

"Why?"

"Well because it was driving me crazy. I kept getting tangled in it and I couldn't stand it anymore. I like it, and it's never been this short before." Not that her hair was that short, it came to just above her shoulders on the sides with a slight dip in the back.

He raised an eyebrow at her, "What did you use, a knife?" He teased.

Kayleen laughed, "No, better. I used a shiv." She felt his deep rumble of a laugh and it caused her to shiver. "Do you hate it Riddick? I know you always like to grab me by the hair."

"Sweetheart, you'd look good bald."

"Oh yea right."

"I'm serious. I've seen it for myself. Still was beautiful."

"What are you talking about?"

"Jack, Kyra shaved her head when I first met her on T2. She wanted to be just like me." He laughed at the memory. His hands were rubbing over her body as he spoke, "When we first landed, her hair was short. After she met me, seen my eyes. She shaved her head and made herself a pair of goggles. Scared the shit out of everyone but I thought it was funny as hell."

"I bet," she moaned getting lost in his hands. "She liked your eyes?"

Riddick could sense her arousal and lust. The last thing at that moment he wanted to do was have a picture the 12 year old 'boy' in his mind at that moment. "Later." He said as he turned her to him and took one of her nipples into his mouth. Her breast had gotten bigger also and he was more than happy about the fact.

Kayleen grabbed his head and pulled him closer. Now that she was pregnant, her body was extra sensitive and his touches were driving her mad. She was ready to orgasm right there over him just feasting on her breast. "Oh God Riddick I missed you."

He smiled against her skin as his tongue laid a trial of fire down her body. He had to taste her, even if it was just for a second, just one slide of his mouth across her throbbing core. He heard her cry out as he tasted her warm honey. Growling, he grabbed her hips and pulled her closer drinking her in, letting the smooth cream of her body envelop his senses. He heard her call his name a second before she exploded and he felt another quick rush of liquid coating his tongue. Fucking beautiful.

Kayleen was panting and barely managed to keep standing when he finally stood up and pulled her too him. He kissed her and she could taste herself on his lips. She moaned as he lifted her up and turned the shower off. She wrapped her legs around his body as he carried them back to bed. He had to touch her, go over every square inch of her body again, licking and nibbling. He stopped at her slightly swollen stomach and looked up in to her eyes. The look she saw in his made her hear skip a beat, but when he kissed the mound tenderly she felt tears running down her face.

"Riddick," She whispered. This was the man who almost everyone in the galaxy feared. A ruthless killer that knew no equal and yet he lay, snuggled between her legs. A look of pure reverence on his face as he stroked her stomach lovingly. This was a side she was sure no one had ever seen of him before; not even Kyra. Her Riddick, her Prince. He may not be a knight in shining armor, but a knight with shined eyes wasn't so bad either.

Riddick paused over her stomach and felt his heart squeeze painfully. Just under his hand, snuggled warmly within Kayleen's womb was a part of him that he had never even dared to dream of, a child; two actually. He was scared to death that he would fuck it up, and had no idea what he had ever done to deserve this. His fear was that someone would realize and take it all away from him again. Fate was usually and unrelenting bitch to him, so why now, what had changed? At the sound of his name on her lips he looked at her and smiled, and then it turned into a sexy grin as he worked his way back up her body to capture her lips.

Kayleen melted into the kiss and became lost in him. His scent, his taste and the texture of his skin. He was her everything. She felt him slide into her and her breath caught. No matter how many times he entered her, it always felt like the first time. It didn't matter if he was rough or gentle, the burst of heat surged through her body made her heart sputter for a second before it began to pound in earnest.

His strokes were deep and sure and took her for the first time in over a week. The beast in him wanted to take her violently, reclaim her as his mate, but he held back, afraid of hurting the babies. Her little moans and pleas for more weren't making it very easy.

"Harder," she cried.

He looked at her, "You sure?"

"Yes Riddick. Harder. Now!" That was all he needed to hear as he surged into her causing her to cry out and the beast to grunt in satisfaction. He gritted his teeth against the fire that threatened to make him explode before her. As he felt her core began to pulse around him, he let go, causing them to reach their climax at the same time, screaming each others name as the world fell away into nothing and they floated in their own space and time.
