A few weeks had gone by and Aria and Lucius sometimes still felt as if they were in a dream from the incredible trip they had taken through time using the Time Turner. Sometimes it still felt like a fairytale, but the astounding thing was that it wasn't. It was their history as a couple, and they truly were soulmates.
Ever since Aria and Lucius had made love under the stars, surrounded by ancient magic all those millennia ago, Aria hadn't felt the same since. Something within her felt even more powerful and more special, if that was even possible. Sometimes between her Veela blood, her prowess in wandless magic, and her soulmate connection with Lucius, she often felt so much power bubbling inside of her that she felt as if she may burst. Her whole life, she had thought herself an ordinary witch, definitely smart and intuitive, but still ordinary. Never in her wildest dreams could she predict how powerful she would become. And truly, she did thank Lucius for most of it, for without him, she wouldn't have unlocked this side of herself and her life.
During the past few weeks Aria's birthday had come and gone. They had kept it very quiet, as Aria had considered their trip through time the best birthday gift imaginable, and quite frankly, the trip through time had been very rough on their bodies and so during the time of her birthday, Aria and Lucius had still slightly been recovering, their bones and muscles still very sore from it all.
Lucius had had an amazing meal prepared for her, complete with only the finest ingrediants from France, and had bestowed upon her the most stunning diamond and sapphire necklace. Aria's jewelry cache had been ever growing since she had met Lucius, and sometimes she felt truly like a princess, and in a way, she guessed she now was, being a Malfoy, one of the Wizarding World's oldest and most wealthiest families. She was eternally grateful for her blessed life.
Besides the necklace he had gotten her, he had also made the sweetest and most gentle love to her. He had lit countless candles, placed all around their bedroom; some of them were even enchanted to float all around, causing the entire room to be bathed in a golden glow that reflected off of the chandelier and mirrors in the room. Aria felt so aroused at the romanticism of it all, as Lucius had laid her upon their bed gently, had looked into her eyes with so much adoration, had entered her slowly so that she could feel every large, thick inch of him, and made love to her so tenderly, she almost felt as if she could cry.
As he moved within her slowly, his sweet, soft lips kissed her everywhere they could reach. Her cheeks, her eyelids, her forehead, her own soft lips, all the while she moaned in delight at his feather soft kisses, until her moaning became more pronounced when she felt that he had opened up their mental connection. He must had done a small spell of some sort so that their connection could open up through their wandless magic, and she felt all of his emotions and sensations pour into her as soon as he had opened up that connection.
She also heard his thoughts within her own mind and she couldn't help but smile as they read each other's thoughts as they were connected as one.
"Happy birthday my angel," Lucius thought in his mind, to which Aria heard within hers.
"Thank you," Aria whispered aloud.
Lucius smiled and kissed her back as he still thrust in and out of her.
"Fuck you feel so good," Lucius' thoughts continued, as he couldn't control them as they popped into his mind.
"Feels so good. I'm so lucky. I love him so much," thought Aria, not able to control her own thoughts either as she was getting more and more aroused by Lucius' movements within her.
Lucius smiled as he listened to Aria's thoughts of how much she loved him, and he saw her smile too as she clearly heard his own thoughts of love towards her within her own mind.
Soon though, their verbal thoughts faded away until the two of them could not only feel their own sensations that their bodies were feeling, but also the other's. Their combined thoughts turning into those of combined physical feelings and emotions. This was always the part of the mental connection that was so addicting. It was like a drug, and it always made their love making and orgasms so much more intense as they were essentially experiencing two orgasms at once.
While still being gentle, Lucius' pace had picked up in speed and he continued kissing her passionately as his right hand went in between where they were connected and began rubbing her clit up and down as he thrusted into her over and over.
The second Lucius' fingers began working their magic on her clit, the bomb of pleasure he got from their mental connection was so intense Lucius almost lost control of himself and came before her. But he would never allow himself to do that, as he always made sure she came first. Through their connection, he could sense she was close though. It was almost as if he could practically feel the blood pumping harder through her veins, could almost feel her muscles begin to contract with her oncoming orgasm and soon enough, through the haze and intoxication of being so connected, Lucius heard her practically scream out into the room and then felt her come hard all over him. He instantly joined her in orgasmic bliss, since feeling hers so powerfully not only physically, but mentally as well, it was near impossible not to come immediately with her.
For the rest of her birthday night, Lucius had just held her in his strong, protective arms and loved her. Their naked bodies entangled with each other, never able to let the other go. Sometimes they would fall asleep for a few hours but they always awoke, Lucius would become instantly hard, as if his body physically knew what it wanted before his mind even became conscious and they would make love, softly and quietly, as the many candles of the room continued to glow a gentle golden glow throughout the night. To Aria, it was the most perfect birthday imaginable; spending it as one with her soul mate.
More weeks passed, and Aria had become extremely busy with the work on the theatre near Diagon Alley she had been helping to restore. She had still felt so tired ever since her trip through time with Lucius back to the era of the Druids. She wasn't too sure how long the side effects of that distance of time travel lasted, but she felt as if her body hadn't really recovered 100% yet. Lucius had told her, he felt much better, but Aria just couldn't shake that remaining feeling of slight exhaustion.
Despite being a bit tired, she couldn't quite believe it, but somehow within the span of a month, progress had been made so quickly that the theatre would indeed be able to be open by the deadline her client had desired. It did help that her client was a wealthy private owner, where money wasn't an issue, and of course being magical also helped speed things along. The stage had been restored to its former glory, and was now sturdy and safe to use, as well as all of the seats in the theatre, all freshly upholstered, and of course a grand and dazzling new chandelier was placed way up high on the ceiling so that it shown its brilliant light all over the newly restored theatre. Aria was just so thrilled that they would be able to open the historical theatre and welcome back wizarding folk once again. As a celebratory opening, a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream would be put on by the British Wizarding World's finest acting troupe.
Of course Aria would be attending the opening night of the gorgeously restored theatre, she was one of the honored guests of the evening, her client had told her, which caused her to blush humbly. The British Wizarding community was simply abuzz with excitement over it. There had really been no proper Wizarding theatre within the vicinity of London for quite a while, and its restoration really was the talk of the town, especially with Aria Malfoy's name attached to the project.
Finally, the night of the grand opening was upon them and Aria was at home preparing to get ready for her big night. She always loved these nights, the special nights after a long time of work where she could celebrate the fruits of her labor and enjoy what she had helped to preserve and restore. Despite feeling a bit tired, Aria was excited to wear her brand new gorgeous red dress she had bought for the occasion. Made from fine crimson velvet, the dress fit her like a glove, and brought out a bit of sex appeal; it made her feel confident and that is what she needed for a night like this.
Aria did her hair so that it fell in shining waves and she did her makeup very beautifully with some winged eyeliner and a very bold and bright red lip to match her red dress. As soon as she slipped on the dress, Lucius walked into the room and stared at her hungrily.
"My lord…" he muttered in awe as he looked at his sexy wife up and down. She was a vision. He sauntered over to her and grabbed her by the hips, and then slowly snaked his hands to her ass and squeezed it a bit. "You are a temptress," he smirked.
Aria smirked back. "I am glad you approve."
"You are the most stunning witch that's ever lived," he said reluctantly letting her go, so that he too could change into his very fine Wizard's dress robes.
"Thank you my love," Aria smiled, blushing a bit as she went to her jewel armoire to pull out a pair of gorgeous diamond teardrop earrings.
As Lucius got dressed into his fine black dress robes, looking dashing and seductive as ever, Aria felt a wave of exhaustion come over her again, and so she decided to sit on one of the comfortable chairs in front of their fire and close her eyes for a second. She felt a bit heated too, not feverish, but perhaps just the exhaustion was causing a sheen of sweat to begin to form on her head.
"Ughh," Aria moaned, not wanting to feel like this right before her big night. She also didn't want to sweat off her freshly put on makeup.
Lucius turned around, noticing she was sitting down in the chair with her eyes closed, looking unhappy.
"Aria? What is it my love," he said immediately striding over to where she sat and kneeling so that he could hold her hand in his.
"Oh…it's nothing…it's just, I'm still so exhausted I think from our Time Travel…I haven't felt completely healed yet," she said as she ran the back of her hand lightly over her forehead.
Lucius' brow furrowed in concern. He, himself, had felt back to normal and it was concerning him that she wasn't yet.
"I'll never forgive myself if I injured you or hurt you from going that far back in time," he said looking down as if already ashamed about it.
"Oh no my love…do not think I was blaming you for anything. I think you are just stronger than me maybe…" she said with a sigh.
"Definitely not," Lucius said, with a grin, but dead serious.
Aria smiled. Lucius always believed she was the most powerful and amazing being on this Earth, and his faith in her was unwavering. With that strength that he gave her, she felt a wave of motivation and her exhaustion faded away.
She got up slowly, Lucius getting up with her as he still held her hand in his.
"See…I am already feeling better with you by my side," Aria smiled as she caressed his cheek with her fingers.
"I'm glad of it," he said, smiling, but still a look of worry behind his eyes. "Perhaps we should use the fireplace to Floo tonight instead of apparating. It will be easier on you," he suggested.
"Agreed," Aria said, thankful that the theatre had a fireplace backstage in which witches and wizards could use to Floo.
"Come my love," Lucius said leading her over to the fireplace. With a wave of his hand, he made sure the low burning fire was extinguished and then poured a handful of Floopowder into his gloved hand from the vase that sat on the mantle of the fireplace.
Taking Aria's hand with his other hand, he led them into the warm cove of the fireplace, spoke aloud the name of the theatre and threw the Floopowder down into the fireplace, and in a flash of green light they had transported themselves straight backstage to the newly opened theatre.
The moment they arrived, they were greeted by some very well-dressed theatre ushers, who led them from the backstage area, into the main foyer and lobby of the historical theatre. It was quite a sight to behold too, as all of the restorations had really paid off. Aria even heard Lucius whisper "wow" to himself as he took in all of the work that had went into making the theatre so glorious once again.
Aria smiled as she gripped Lucius' hand harder in her own as she looked around the theatre. The whole foyer was coated in stunning, plush red carpet, and several smaller chandeliers hung around, lighting the lobby in a fantastical golden glow. The walls were all made from a very precious type of rare wood, found in some of the most magical forests in the Wizarding world, and were all lined with shining gold molding.
Two marble topped bars were at either end, where servers were serving drinks and cocktails to the excited patrons. Aria was so happy to see so many finely dressed witches and wizards all abuzz with excitement for the grand opening of the theatre. She even saw her patron and employer at the bar, chatting up all of his new guests, the most dazzling of smiles on his face. He spotted Aria in the crowd and called her over.
"Ahh there she is! The woman who helped all of this become a reality," he said loudly, causing the crowds in the lobby to look over at Aria.
Aria flushed heavily, worried she would become as red as her dress. She was a little bit warm, and the sheen of sweat she had felt earlier was coming back, and she began to feel a bit wobbly on her feet. She gripped Lucius's hand in hers for support.
"Come have a drink with us," her employer said as he motioned for Aria and Lucius to join him at the bar.
Aria really didn't feel like drinking at the moment, but she also didn't want to seem rude, so she decided she would get a small glass of champagne. Lucius shook hands with the patron, never having met him before, and exchanged pleasantries with him, as the two men then fawned all over Aria and how amazing she was. Aria continued blushing, the praise from both her husband and employer incredibly humbling and slightly overwhelming. She felt herself growing warmer and warmer, and she realized she had only taken a few sips of her champagne, before the taste of it had nauseated her, and so she discreetly put it down on a side table near where she was standing. She was relieved when the lights in the theatre lobby dimmed a bit, alerting the guests that it was time to go take their seats so that the production could begin.
With a few more pleasantries and shaking of hands, Aria and Lucius made their way to their seats. They had been of course granted the best seats in the house, front row in the center, reserved for them as a gift for all of Aria's contributions to the opening of the historical theater.
Taking their seats in the main part of the theatre, Aria felt a bit better, as it wasn't as warm as it had been in the lobby, but she still felt slightly shaky and she was getting a bit of anxiety about the way she had been feeling ever since their time traveling adventure. What was happening to her body? Out of the corner of her eye she felt Lucius staring at her and so she turned her head to see his beautiful grey eyes looking straight at her, his expression one of concern as he took her in, instinctually knowing something was wrong. He didn't have to say any words, his expression alone made her know that he was aware of how she was feeling and was quite concerned. Even without being as one in their mental connection they often shared, Lucius could always sense when something was wrong with her. She rubbed his hand with the pad of her thumb, trying to comfort him, to let him know everything was okay, even if she didn't quite feel all that okay.
They stared into each others' souls for a few more seconds, until finally the lights in the theatre went completely dark, and the red velvet curtains of the stage opened to reveal the beginning of the play. Reluctantly, Aria tore her eyes away from Lucius' perfectly chiseled face to watch the show. Looking into his eyes had made her feel slightly better, but the show was beginning and her attentions now had to be directed at the stage.
It really was incredible the work that had been done on the old stage. It was beautifully reconstructed with the sturdiest of woods the colorful and elaborate set that graced it, made for a very impressive sight.
A Midsummer Night's Dream was one of Aria's favorite Shakespeare plays, and the actors and the sets were all incredible and vibrant. The colors of the sets and costumes were so vibrant in fact, that it was making Aria's nausea a bit worse. After about an hour, all of the colors began blending in together, and she was becoming rather dizzy, as she began feeling as if she, herself, was in a dream; and not a very good one. It was becoming harder and harder to concentrate on the actors, despite them doing an amazing job, and her forehead was now feeling quite a bit sweaty. What was going on, she wondered to herself. Why was she feeling this way? The Champagne she had drank couldn't have made her feel this bad, she had only taken a few sips. Maybe she had come down with something, like a muggle-like type of flu. Either way, every time the audience laughed or clapped, Aria's head felt worse, and her dizziness continued growing and growing.
Soon, she couldn't take it anymore, and despite her not wanting to seem rude in any way she had to quickly get up out of her seat, and speed-walk down the middle aisle of the theatre, not caring if people stared, covering her mouth so that she didn't throw-up all over the newly restored theatre. She just barely made it into the bathroom before she vomited into one of the toilets in the lady's room. Aria hadn't vomited since she was in grade school, and she forgot how much of an unpleasant, traumatizing experience it was. Luckily, since the theatre was so freshly restored to be rather classy and fancy, the bathrooms were immaculately clean, so she didn't feel as gross as she could have, sitting on the floor of a lady's restroom in public. Another lucky thing was that she was in fact feeling a bit better after throwing up. The dizziness had almost gone away, although her entire body was now broken out into a clammy sweat, and her eyes were watering. She must have looked a complete mess, and she felt bad that her night would now have to be cut short. But how would she get Lucius' attention that she needed to go home?
She didn't have to wonder long, as she immediately heard his comforting voice, calling out her name softly. "Aria, are you in here?" He said, his voice echoing off of the walls of the (thankfully) empty lady's bathroom.
"Yes," she replied back, her voice a bit cracked sounding from having just vomited.
Lucius didn't care that he was in the lady's room, all he wanted to do was get to Aria. He had been so worried when he saw her get up from her seat abruptly and run away. He had been in shock for a few moments before he had gotten up from his seat as well, many people in the audience looking at him awkwardly as he made his way out into the lobby to find his wife. He had looked all around for her, and after having not found her, realized she was of course in the restroom.
"Are you okay my love?!" He said, more worry heard behind his voice at hearing her sound so weak.
"No, I am very sick," she said, as she shakily reached her hand up to unlock the door to the stall she was in.
Lucius sank to his knees immediately so that he could kneel beside her where she sat on the floor. His brows furrowed in great concern, seeing her makeup running down her face, and her skin coating in a layer of cold sweat. "My love," Lucius said, as he reached out to her, rubbing her arms, not knowing how to help.
"What do you need? What can I do?"
"Water," Aria said weakly.
With a snap of his fingers he conjured up a crystal glass and then he muttered aloud, "Aguimenti," causing fresh water to fill the cup.
Lucius held the glass up to her lips, helping her drink the refreshing, cool water slowly. "Thank you," she said weakly, as she leaned her head onto his shoulder. Lucius took the glass from her and left it on the ground, not caring about it anymore. He just wanted to get her home.
"I'm taking you home right away," he said, as he helped her stand to her feet.
Aria said nothing, but nodded her head in agreement, as she clutched to Lucius' hands tightly; standing making her dizziness come back.
"The show is going on though, so we can't go backstage to get to the fireplace to Floo. Are you going to be ok if I apparate us?" Lucius said, worried that the apparating would make her vomit again.
"Just hold me and don't let me go," she said wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Never," he said scooping her up into his arms and apparating them straight into their bedroom in the Malfoy Manor.
The second they arrived into the comfort of their bedroom, Lucius helped Aria out of her beautiful dress, and hung it up for her, as well as helped her out of her shoes and her jewelry. He was quite concerned about her. Besides the poisoning she had suffered at the hands of Narcissa, to which that was completely out of her control, he had never seen Aria ill before, and he was so traumatized from the last time he almost lost her, that he was wanting to do whatever he could to make sure he could heal her from whatever was going on.
As soon as she was in some comfortable pajamas, Aria crawled into their big, comfortable bed and instantly fell asleep. Her body was exhausted, and despite the evening having been a big event for her at the theatre, she couldn't think about that at all. She just needed to relax and sleep. Lucius stayed up for a while longer, as he watched over her; anytime she moved in her sleep, his eyes would dart over making sure she was okay. She had slept through the night, albeit a bit restlessly, but in the morning, that all changed.
Aria had awoken quite early, the sun had just barely risen, and it was probably around five o'clock. She felt the bile rising from her stomach and into her throat, and she got up and out of bed in record time, running to the bathroom, making it just in time to vomit into the toilet. Her sudden movement, had startled Lucius out of his own restless sleep, and all he could do for the few moments was give her privacy and wait until she was done.
After a few moments, Lucius got up from bed, and made his way into the bathroom so that he could comfort his love. He hated seeing her so sick and it made his soul hurt that he couldn't immediately do anything. As he walked into the bathroom, seeing her on the floor huddled up in the fetal position, he ran over to her, knelt on the floor and brought her into his arms, so that her head rested against his chest.
"I feel horrible," she said with a scratchy voice, as she closed her eyes and leaned against Lucius reassuring, warm chest.
"My love, what can I do! What's wrong?" He said with concern as he kissed the top of her head and rubbed her with his hands as he held her. "I can't bear to see you sick. I must do something."
"I don't know what is wrong with me…ever since our trip back in time, I have felt so tired…and it's only gotten worse."
"I'm going to call a doctor to come over and see you," he said with finality.
"No, no….I can just see if we have any potions downstairs in the cupboards…there has to be something that can help," she said. She really didn't want to have to see a doctor. She rarely got sick, and they lived in a magical world after all…there had to be something that could help.
"There are probably potions that will help you…temporarily…but I am still going to call the doctor anyways," Lucius said.
"No my love," Aria whined a bit. She felt awful, and she didn't want to get poked and prodded.
"Yes," Lucius said with even more sternness.
Aria didn't combat him, but moaned out a whine of displeasure as she turned her body around so that she could bury her face into his chest.
"I know my love..I know…common. Back to bed," he said as he scooped her up into his arms and lifted them up off the floor.
He placed her back into bed, and then put on some clothes rather quickly with one of his more casual wizards robes.
"No don't go," Aria pouted. She felt like a child, but when she was sick, she liked being taken care of, and Lucius was the one person she wanted of course to be there with her and to take care of her.
"I will be back very shortly my darling. I am going to use the Floo network to fetch a doctor. One of my doctors I have used in the past whom I know to make personal house calls. I will be getting you the best care. Trust me," he said as he leaned down over her and kissed her on the forehead. At least she wasn't feverish.
Aria reached for Lucius, not wanting him to go, but he was already gone, and so she closed her eyes and fell into a restless sleep again for a bit longer.
Soon though, she was gently loved awake by Lucius' feather light touch upon her cheek with his fingertips. She slowly opened her eyes, the first thing she saw being Lucius' gorgeous face and she reached her hand out to grab his own hand. The second thing she saw was that of an older witch, plump around the middle, her grey hair piled on her head, her hazel colored eyes looking at Aria over a pair of spectacles.
"The doctor is here my love," Lucius said gently. "She is here to make sure you are ok and help you feel better."
"Hello," Aria said weakly.
"Hello Mrs. Malfoy," the witch said as she scooted her way in-between Lucius and Aria's connected hands.
Aria reluctantly let go of Lucius' hands, and Lucius had a slight scowl on his face from being nudged away by the tiny, old witch, but he of course moved back, and allowed the doctor to inspect Aria.
The doctor did some basic tests first, putting her hands on Aria's forehead to check for fever, her hand on her pulse points making sure her heartbeat was going fine. Then the doctor pulled out her wand and uttered an incantation under her breath, Aria couldn't quite hear what it was, but a light, almost like one similar to the Lumos spell, shone out of the tip of the wand and the witch pointed it straight at Aria.
"Alright Mrs. Malfoy, just relax as I scan your body. This will hopefully tell me what is ailing you," the witch said calmly.
Aria looked at Lucius, a bit of anxiety popping up, but Lucius looked at her with calm, serene eyes and a small smile on his face and she was instantly comforted.
Aria nodded her head and the doctor pointed her lit wand right at Aria's face as she began the scan at the top of her head. Aria closed her eyes tight against the glare of the light in her face as the witch did her work. Slowly the light from the wand scanned down her body, the doctor nodding in approval, indicating to Aria and Lucius that everything was okay so far. Suddenly the light shone on the lower part of Aria's stomach, around her pelvis area, and the doctor stopped. Aria's heart began beating in her chest. Why had she stopped? Something was wrong. She started getting panic, wondering what she could possibly be sick with. Had the time travel injured her permanently? Before she could spiral into an anxiety whirlwind however, the doctor smiled a bit, and chuckled.
"What could possible be funny?!" Aria thought angrily. This wasn't something to be laughing about.
"Well Mrs. Malfoy, there is something going on inside of your body," began the doctor.
Aria immediately reached her hand out to Lucius and gripped it tight in her own. Something was wrong. Lucius held her hand back just as steadfastly, concern prickling the hairs on the back of his neck.
The doctor continued, "but it isn't so nefarious as you would think…." She smirked again. "Mrs. Malfoy, congratulations you are with child."
Aria just sat there, frozen, for quite a few long moments. She couldn't quite believe the words that had just come out of the doctor's mouth. It was Lucius' reaction that broke her out of her trance, as the next thing she knew Lucius was knelt down to her where she lay on the bed and holding her in his arms so tightly as he couldn't contain his exclamations of happiness.
"My God! My love! It's happened," He said as he kissed her all over her face. "My beautiful angel. We're having a baby, my darling. Our baby!"
As Lucius said all of these amazing things, Aria snapped out of her trance and instantly started balling tears of happiness. She was finally carrying Lucius' child within her. Suddenly all of the nausea and the concern washed away, leaving only a sense of magic in her lower belly, almost as if she could already feel the baby beginning to grown.
"Finally," she cried happily as she held onto Lucius, and buried her face into his neck. "I love you so much Lucius."
"I love you my darling angel," he said as a few tears streamed down his face as well.
The doctor, sensing the intimacy of the moment, began packing up to leave, a happy smile on her face seeing her patient so happy to hear the news. Before she completely packed up she left a bottle of anti-nausea potion on Aria's bedside table.
"Oh wait!," Aria said, calling after the doctor who had been about to leave quietly; to leave the couple to their peace. "How far along am I?"
Aria wanted to know how far along she was so she could figure out when she had become pregnant.
"About a month dear," the doctor replied. "I will be wanting to come back in a few weeks to do a first check-up on the baby and you, if that is permitted?"
"Of course," Lucius said instantly. His wife would get the best medical care he could attain, and he would make sure this precious child was healthy.
Aria smiled, as more happy tears continued to stream down her face, and she put her and Lucius' conjoined hands over her still flat stomach, which would soon grow with their love.
At that, the doctor did leave, wanting to give the couple their privacy, and Aria and Lucius barely noticed as they were so caught up in the emotions they were feeling.
Lucius leaned his head down to Aria's stomach and gently kissed it, and laid his head upon it. He had always felt so connected to her, but this was a whole new level. Even when he had found out that Narcissa was pregnant with Draco, he had been happy he supposed, however he knew that he had mainly accomplished his duty of siring an heir. He loved Draco, of course, but this news with Aria was definitely a revelation to him. This was different. This was pure love personified into the form of a child between Aria and Lucius and he shed a few more tears, knowing that his life was so perfectly complete.
Aria stoked Lucius' soft blond hair as he laid his head upon her stomach. It was such a tender and sweet sight that Aria engrained the image of that into her memory forever. And as she thought about what the doctor has said about her being a month pregnant, she realized that her and Lucius had conceived this child on their trip back in time.
"Lucius…" she said, her voice filled with wonder. "We conceived this baby when we were in the time of the druids…during that night that we made love under the stars, when our past selves also discovered their soulmate bond through their first time. Do you think that will affect this child…being created in a different time then when it's being born?"
Lucius looked up at his beautiful soul mate, wonder also found swimming in his eyes as he thought about what she was saying. This child was an absolute miracle. A child from another time, conceived during the moment when true love was created for the universe.
"I don't know my love, but I believe and know in my heart that this child will be incredibly special…a miracle," he said as he finally stood up from where he was kneeling next to her and actually got into bed with her and held her in his arms as their hands went back to resting over her stomach.
"I can't believe this baby was made during that magical moment…no wonder I haven't felt the same since our trip…it's as if my body already knew the moment it happened," Aria mused aloud.
Lucius rubbed his fingers lightly over her stomach, where his child would grow within her. "I am in awe of you my love…I am so in love with you."
Aria smiled and leaned her head back so that he could reach her lips so that he could kiss her passionately. The two of them had never felt so happy and complete.
As Lucius held the love of his many lifetimes in his arms, he couldn't believe that in just one year all of this magic had come to pass. A year ago he was a lonely, depressed broken shell of a man…still stuck under a dark cloud, and then this angel came into his life and turned his whole world upside down for the better. He truly couldn't believe it had only been a year, but when he thought about it, his whole life had been leading up to being with this woman…loving her, worshiping her, marrying her and finally, having a child with her. His heart swelled in his chest and beat a bit harder as he held on to her tightly, never letting her go. Ever.
