Hehe, I think you's are gonna lOve this chapter! I was having lots of feels writing it! Review review review, I love ya!
It was now December and very cold. Eponine's father had sent her out to steal and beg. She shudders when she thinks what could happen if she doesn't bring anything of value back.
Eponine was now nearly 5 months pregnant and showing. She could no longer wear her tight corsets, so she bought bigger ones. She had a feeling the baby was a boy, because the baby moved a lot and liked to kick.
Marius and Cosette were always together, and when she saw them kissing or touching in anyway, Eponine wanted to be sick. Marius had been acting a little strange around Eponine, but she thought nothing of it.
It was now raining heavily and Eponine was freezing. She couldn't feel her feet or her hands, and she was starving. she gave up looking for potential victims of her crimes and sat down, against a wall. Her teeth were chattering. She sat like that for a while. Then she passed out.
Marius was worried. He hadn't see Eponine in 2 days. She was constantly on his mind and Cosette wasn't. He told Cosette that he was just going out for some fresh air. He wanted some because Cosette was annoying him, always asking him questions. But he mainly wanted to look for Eponine. He had a bad feeling that something had happened to her.
After walking around for 20 minutes, he spotted a girl hunched up against a wall. He ran towards her.
" Eponine" Marius whispered as he touched her cold cheek. He shook her, trying to wake her up, but failed. She was absolutely freezing, and her clothes were soaked.
Marius picked her up and kissed her forehead. God, he thought, she's so thin.
When he arrived home, he ordered a shocked Cosette to call a Doctor. He went to his room and lay Eponine under his covers and put some more blankets on top of her.
" She has Hypothermia." The Doctor told Marius. He was putting away his equipment as he handed Marius a Prescription for some pills. Marius nodded.
" Congratulations by the way" the Doctor told Marius. He noticed the puzzled look on Marius' face and chuckled.
" You do know she's pregnant right?" Marius froze. Pregnant. How could he not notice that? That's why she had been acting strange.
" Ah, well you know now. Yes, she's almost 5 months. Anyway, I better be off now." He told Marius to change her wet clothes and he left.
He told Cosette to go to bed, that he would join her soon, and locked his bedroom door, not wanting to be disturbed. It was all making sense to him now. The sickness. The unusual food she was eating. The mood swings.
Pregnant. His Eponine was pregnant. The love of his life was going to have a baby. He longed for the baby to be his. To be able to kiss her, touch her, make love to her.
He could see the bump clearly, as he lifted the covers off Eponine.
Eponine awoke to see Marius staring at her swollen belly. She tried to speak, but he stopped her.
" Hush now `ponine. You have Hypothermia. I found you out in the rain, freezing cold." He put his hand on her cheek as he spoke.
" Why didn't you tell me?" Eponine looked down. He put his hand on her belly, but felt the wet clothes.
" The Doctor told me you have to change, But he said I must do it, for you have to rest. Is that ok?" Eponine nodded, hoping she wasn't dreaming, Because it was like all her dreams where coming true at once.
Marius grabbed some spare clothes for Eponine to wear. Then he started to take of her ripped stockings, and pushed Eponine on her side gently, so not to hurt her bump, to undo the the hook holding up her skirt.
Eponine suddenly blushed heavily as Marius trailed his fingers along her skin.
He slipped on his pajama bottoms and a pair of socks while Eponine watched him. Every time Marius touched her, there were sparks.
She watched as his beautiful face looked up into her eyes, for assurance that he was allowed to undo her corset. She nodded. Again he gently pushed her on her side, to undo the ribbons at the back. When they were undone, Marius gently pulled the corset away to revel Eponine's swollen stomach. Her breast were covered by a thin cloth. His eyes scanned over her body. Hungrily.
Marius lay down onto the bed next to her, placing his hands softly on her stomach, amazed at the life inside of her. Eponine put her hands on top of Marius' and smiled.
Marius couldn't believe this was happening. He wanted this to be his life, to be with Eponine, not Cosette. They stayed like that for a few minutes, both thinking the moment was perfect.
Marius leaned down and kissed Eponine's belly, got up and grabbed a top and jumper. He dressed Eponine, and wrapped her up in the blankets again.
He kissed her on the forehead and said goodnight.
