A/N: Before you read this, I am going to tell you that this chapter ends with a lemon.
Shigure sat in his study typing up his manuscript. He was having a burst of inspiration. The words seemed to flow from his brain to his finger tips and then flood onto the screen. He couldn't stop typing.
Her long firey locks flowed around her shoulders and down her back as she released her hair from the tightly wound bun. Her eyes glimmered like emeralds. She leaned in closer to him, "I love you. I always have." She said, speaking the words he had been wanting to hear for years.
"I love you, too. I've loved you from the day you found out my secret." He told her, leaning closer.
She leaned in closer to him and their lips met in a long-awaited kiss. The years they had spent apart suddeny seemed to fall from their memories. The world around them melted away. All that existed for them, was that moment, the kiss, and their love.
With that Shigure closed the first chapter of his new novel. He looked up at the clock. Nightingale had been at Aya's shop for two hours. She was over there designing her wedding dress adn Shigure wasn't allowed to come. He wasn't allowed to see the dress until the wedding day. They had set the date for a month away. He sighed and went back to work on the next chapter of his novel.
"I want something simple." Nightingale explained to Ayame. "I was thinking an A-line dress."
Ayame nodded. he drew a simple A-line dress on the paper. "Do you want sleeves?"
"Short ones, yes." Nightingale answered. "Oh and I want lace. I love lace."
Ayame smiled at her. "Lace is wonderful. Very feminine and delicate."
Nightingale nodded her agreement.
They spent a while longer designing the dress until they had Nigtingale's dream wedding gown. It was simple and beautiful. It was perfect. Mine took Nightingale's measurements. "Don't forget to add a couple inches to me waist to make room for my baby bump." Nightingale said with a smile.
"We may even have to make room in the bust. I hear that that area can grow too." Mine said with a laugh.
Nightingale joined in her laugh. "That's good news for Shigure."
Mine laughed even harder.
Aya came in the room, a smile on his face. "You two are giggling a lot. Do you need to share something with Shigure and myself?" He teased.
They all three laughed and then Nightingale was ready to go home. Aya insisted on walking her home. "I couldn't forgive myself if something happened to you. I must protect the delicate flower that you are from the creeps out there." Then they headed home.
Once they reached the house, Ayame burst through the door. "Shigure, I have brought your delicate and lovely flower, safely home!"
Shigure came out of his study. "Why thank you Aya! I shall forever be in your debt." Shigure sang.
Nightingale giggled and walked over to Shigure, who opened his arms wide for her. She stepped into his arms and softly kissed him on the lips.
"Well, I shall be going now." Ayame declared. "I have done my duty and it looks like you need some alone time. Good bye and farewell until next time."
"Good bye Aya." Shigure sang dramatically as Aya walked out the door.
Nightingale laughed and snuggled close to Shigure. "So, what have you been doing without me?" She asked.
"Writing." he answered simply. Then he kissed the top of her head. "I have had some inspiration lately."
"Really?" She asked, one eyebrow raised.
"Yes." He replied with a smile. "Now, I believe Aya said something about giving us alone time."
Nightingale grinned. "I like the sound of that."
"Now close your eyes." He told her.
Nightingale raised an eyebrow, but complied.
Shigure took her by the hand and led her up the stairs and to the bathroom. "Open your eyes." He said.
Once again, Nightingale complied. The tub was filled with warm water and bubbles. On top of the bubbles were sprinkled red rose petals. Her eyes sparkled with happiness.
"I thought that you could use a nice hot relaxing bubble bath." Shigure said.
Nightingale smiled and turned around and kissed him. "You're the best."
Shigure grinned at her. "Enjoy your bath. I need to go and finish getting something else ready."
Nightingale looked confused. "For what?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Shigure teased. "Now enjoy your bath."
"Okay." Nightingale agreed.
Shigure left the room and went to finish up what he wanted to finish.
Nightingale slipped off her clothes and sank into the tub. She closed her eyes and let the warmth of the water soak around her. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the sensation. A while later, Shigure came in the room. He noticed that she had her eyes closed. He sat on the edge of the tub and started rubbing her shoulders.
"You finish whatever it was?" she asked, keeping her eyes closed, not jumping with surprise.
"Yup, and whenever you're ready to see what it is let me know." He told her and kissed the top of her head.
"Hmmm, just a few more minutes." She said, enjoying the shoulder rub.
"As you wish, my love."
About ten more minutes passed and Nightingale decided that she was ready to see the next surprise. She got out of the tub and dried off. Shigure held a purple silk robe open for her. She slipped in the rode. "Close your eyes again." Shigure told her.
Nightingale closed her eyes and allowed Shigure to lead her off to the next surprise. "Open your eyes."
Nightingale's eyes opened. They were in their room. The shades were drawn keeping out the light of day. Candles were lit all around the room and rose petals were on the bed. "This is so romantic." Nightingale said, her eyes wide.
Shigure grinned and closed the door behind him. He locked it and then scooped Nightingale into his arms. He carried her over to the bed and gently laid her down. He gently kissed her lips. Then he slowly untied her robe. He kissed her forehead, then the tip of her nose, then her lips. He trailed kissed down her neck then kissed down between her breasts.
He moved his lips back up to hers and then moved a hand to cup her breast. Nightingale let out a small moan, her body extra sensetive due to the pregnancy. Shigure, noticing this fact, moved his other hand to cup her other breast.
Shigure stopped and then removed his own robe. He kissed down Nightingale's neck again. Then between her breasts. He then moved and gently kissed her stomache, acknowledging the baby. Then he moved back to her lips. He pulled away and then gently put his knee between her legs and parted her thighs. Even more gently, he entered her. Starting out with gentle easy strokes, moving in and out.
Each movement elicited a moan from Nightingale. The extra sensetivity adding to her pleasure. Shigure, getting some extra pleasure as well, started to move a little faster. Her moans became louder and more frequent. Soon, Shigure could feel his own pleasure increasing and mounting. They both came together. Her moan met with a growling sound emitting from Shigure.
After they had made love, Nightingale and Shigure laid in bed snuggled together. Nightingale kissed Shigure. "I love you."
Shigure smiled. "I love you, too." He kissed her forehead and held her close. Shigure then put his hand over her stomache.
Nightingale smiled and placed her hand over his. She closed her eyes and took a little nap, while Shigure held her.
