" Judal stop!" everyone froze, and he turned toward the voice. The first thing he saw were the beautiful pair of amber eyes that he seemed to get lost in every time he saw them. Followed by the extremely long jet black hair that felt smooth and silky on his fingertips, and always seemed to calm him down every time he touched it. " Alexandria..." he dropped down and ran to her. He held her in a tight embrace and delicately stroked her hair, just to make sure that she was real.
" You're alive... but how... they said-" " - You aren't the only one who uses the Rukh you know." Alexandria whispered softly, her chest was still a little bit cramped. " But... but the baby..." she could feel the sobs erupting from him as he fell to his knees, dragging her down with him. " I know... I know... but... but we can try again right?" she pulled away from him and cupped his cheek with her hand. " Yeah... yeah we can..." Judal smiled softly and set his hand on top of hers, delicately stroking it with his thumb. " All you would have to do is not fight for nine months. Nine. Months. Do you think you can keep out of trouble for that long?" She looked over to Morgiana, Alibaba and Aladdin. " All of you?" Aladdin immediately gave the most adorable smile and thumbs up, Alibaba nodded and smiled while Morgiana did the same. " Sure lady! Sorry for almost killing you by the way! It was an accident!" Aladdin shouted happily, Alexandria smiled and nodded. " It's in the past, water under the bridge kid." she looked expectantly to her husband and smiled. " They're willing to hold off, how about you?" she asked. Judal glared at the three, then looked back to his wife, at first his expression was stone cold, but it eventually melted into a warm smile. " Oh I can't say no to you. Sure sunshine, I'll be good." he placed a hand behind her head and kissed her softly. She kissed him back and threw her arms over his neck, she could practically feel the heat radiating off his cheeks, and could only imagine how red they were. Alexandria pulled away from him and pressed her forehead against his. " Now let's go get started on that baby huh?" she giggled at the seductive smirk he gave her, then he scooped her up bridal style and turned to them. " You little brats are lucky that she showed up or-" " Judal... shut up and take me home." she kissed him softly and winked as he flew into the air and started back to the Kou Empire. As soon as they were back he threw her onto his bed and climbed on top of her. " Ready babe?" he whispered seductively, sending shivers up her spine, she bit her lip and nodded...
...and what a fun time that was.
The next morning Alexandria woke up to the warm feeling of arms wrapped around her, sweaty skin to skin contact immediately triggered her memory. She looked up at Judal, who was peacefully sleeping with her in his arms. She smiled and kissed his nose softly, earning a small groan from him as he woke up and looked down on her. " Mornin' babe." he yawned and sat up, her following behind. Judal looked back at her and blushed a bit. " Are you gonna... um..." Alexandria chuckled and kissed his cheek. " Cover up? No. I want to take a shower so..." she climbed out of bed and made her way to the bathroom they shared. " I'll be out in a few minutes okay?" she playfully waved to him and closed the bathroom door, she heard him climb out of bed, and despite her temptation resisted the urge to look outside and turned on the shower. She made it lukewarm, since she was already a little hot and stepped inside, the feeling off cool water on her sweaty skin was relieving, she threw her head back and allowed the cool water to trickle down her face. She closed her eyes and let out a sigh of relief. She heard a knock on the door and opened her eyes. " Yeah?" she shouted. " Hey sunshine. Want to do something today? I know you like it in Sindria so I'll take you if you want to go." he grumbled the last part, causing Alexandria to giggle softly. " Aw baby you know I wouldn't do that to you. Let's just go find an open field somewhere, I can make some food, and we can just go relax. We can lay back, watch the clouds, just like we used to right?" she asked. There was silence for a moment, followed by the sound of the door opening, then closing. She opened the curtain a little and saw Judal smiling softly at her. " Judal? What're you- ah!" he opened the curtain and pulled her out. " You're fucking adorable you know?" he pulled her out by her wrist and kissed her cheek. " Judal!? What're you doing?! I'm naked!" she shouted. Judal winked, turning her face bright red in seconds. " Judaaaaaaaaaaal..." she whined. " Oh come on Lexi! I'm only teasing." he grabbed a towel off the rack and wrapped it around her. " You're so cute." he kissed her forehead and brought her outside. Quickly she got changed into the dress Judal had pulled out for her while she was in the shower and spun in the mirror. " Geez Judal. When did you start to know me so well?"
Judal chuckled and kissed her cheek softly. " I don't know, I mean you look beautiful in everything you wear, so it's not like it really matters." he came up from behind her and grabbed her shoulders. He looked up at their reflection, he was wearing his usual outfit, since it was just a picnic after all.
Alexandria smiled and spun around, she held out her arms and pouted like a child. " Carry me?" she asked. Judal chuckled and scooped her up bridal style, her dress still hung down past her legs despite being in the air now. " Let's go babe, I don't feel like making food." he laughed a little and lead her to the area, he set her down and smirked. " What's so funny baby?" she asked. Suddenly the sky turned a light gray, and it began to snow a little, but it slowly began to pick up a bit. She looked up as snow landed in her hair. Alexandria held out her hand and let a few flakes land in her hand. " It never snows here... how did you-" " Let's just say I know what I'm doing doll." he chuckled and pointed off into the distance, where there wasn't a cloud in sight. Suddenly a flake landed on her bare back, causing her to jump and ran to him. " It's cold!" he began hysterically laughing, he fell backwards into the snow and tucked her closer. " That's because you aren't used to it like I am. Here... watch... it feels nice." Judal gently took her hand and placed it on the white substance forming beneath them. " Haven't you ever seen snow before?" Judal asked. " No... well not in person." Alexandria pulled her hand away and cuddled up to him. " Oh... well are you alright?" he asked. " Yeah... just chilly." the two chuckled for a moment then fell silent, she looked down at him, and he looked up at her. They made eye contact and within moments their faces had turned red. " Judal?" " Hm?" " I love you." she whispered. Judal's eyes widened a bit when he felt her hug him tightly and hide her face in the crook of his neck. He sat up and held her on his lap, he felt the steady rise and fall of her chest, and listened to the soft pounding of her heart against his. He smiled softly and ran his fingertips through her silky jet black hair. " I love you too. More then you could ever understand." he felt this warm feeling in his chest, one that he almost never felt for anyone except for her, god she was turning him soft... but... he would only be like this for her... and of course the little miracle everyone was praying for.
" You're the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on. You're kind, caring, and strong. You can put up with my bullshit better then anyone else I know, which means more to me then anything in the world. I know you think I'm the stronger to the two of us, but without you, I would be nothing. And when I found out about what had happened to you... how you had put your own life in danger, and sacrificed our child for my own safety... I'll admit at first I was angry... but then it started too make sense. If you didn't love me... if you weren't in my life... I might not be here right now, and the fact that you're here with me means more to me then any fight or failed attempt at revenge. I was terrified... I thought I had lost you forever, and that was what really made me want to go fight them. In my mind they had taken you away from me, and that was to much for me to bear." he pulled away from her and looked her directly in the eyes, with a certain sincerity she'd never seen before. " I love you... more then words could ever tell. You're my rock, you keep me strong during my weakest moments, and I know this sounds a little cheesy, but I would do anything if it makes you happy." he cupped her cheek with his hand and smiled softly. " And I'm so proud to call myself your husband."
Alexandria felt tears forming in her eyes, she hugged him again and allowed herself to cry softly into his shoulder. " J-Judal... this... this is so unexpected I..." she trailed off when she felt him push her away, he intertwined their fingers and kissed her passionately. At first she was a little taken aback, then she melted into the kiss, she tilted her head slightly to the right and pressed against him a little more. After a few moments he pulled away from her and grinned. " Oh... by the way... one more thing." " What?" he laughed and flipped her over into the snow on the ground, the little bit of snow was icy cold on her back, causing her to squeal and pull herself off the ground a little. " You little shit!" She shouted. The two eventually went home after a few hours of snowball fights and just plan talking, and everything was starting to look up again.
Until...
