28

I was beyond furious that Namor would do something as low as forbid me. I wasn't completely wanting to not have children, but I was allowed to be responsible and make sure I didn't have them when I wasn't ready right! My mother would have agreed. I wanted to see her now, but something told me if I tried to leave, Namor would just demand I stay. This is my kingdom after all.

I was so exhausted from everything leading up to our fight that I just lied down and went to sleep. That's all that would make me happy right now. Even as I felt him slipping into bed and holding me I refused to really acknowledge him. I just wanted to sleep. The next morning, I woke up in an empty bed and Atzi came to tend to me with breakfast. She informed me that Namor was at the royal court giving a briefing. I only nodded. Once I was full, she and I swam through Talokan and I continued learning their language. It was the only thing to keep my mind off of last night's argument.

We swam into the market and I watched many Talokanil trading different items. Many bowed and gestured their hands in greeting to me. I returned the gesture with a smile. Elderly women approached asking me more questions about the sea above and the goddess I served. I also listened to their stories and experiences dealing with the land above. It all went back to war and Namor, their God King saving them and keeping them safe. In distance of the crowd I saw Namora standing watch as was her duty to do so. After I finished speaking with the many Talokanil, I decided I wanted to be alone.

"Forgive me, my queen, we are not allowed to leave you alone." Namora replied as she heard my command to Atzi to leave me alone. I shook my head.

"I don't plan to go far, I just needed to be alone to think." I replied. Namora looked down for a moment and then looked to Atzi giving her a command and she nodded and swam back to the city.

"My cousin informed me of the fight you had yesterday." she said lightly. I scowled and waved her off.

"I do not want to hear from you about my duties to the king." I replied turning from her. Already I could feel the anger building up in me as I heard his words about forbidding me to alter my body.

"Even if it involves me taking your side?" she asked. I was just floating in the water now still. I glanced back at her.

"What did you say?" I asked a bit calmer now. She swam up beside me.

"I told him he was wrong to command you when there are so many warrior women here without children." she said. I felt mild relief and I looked at her.

"But they are just that, warriors. Not royalty." I muttered, although my tone was still thankful for her sticking up for me. She nodded.

"I know. K'uk'ulkan will never age, he will never die. I think he will fear that when you pass, when Attuma and I inevitable pass, he will be alone. He won't have close family to go through life with him." she explained. I didn't think about it like that.

"But he is not changing throughout a pregnancy, only I am." I replied. "What he wants for his is dangerous for me as a woman in the present." She nodded.

"It is not easy being a queen." she said. I only nodded silently before looking at her. I looked her over entirely.

"Do you want children one day?" I asked. She let her eyes roam the water the sea life calm and peaceful.

"No. I do not have a mate and do not want one at the moment. I want to serve my king and want no distractions while doing so." she said. I nodded in understanding. Atzi was swimming back, and now panic was over. She was talking fast and I couldn't understand her. My bracelet began translating.

"My queen and lady, many of the women have started their bleeding. There are readings of many predators coming from miles away in search of food." she explained. Namora frowned and began to speak fast.

"Get all who are bleeding in the chambers quickly! Make sure everyone is staying inside their homes!" the bracelet translated before she looked at me.

"My queen we should get you inside as well. The city will be on lock down until the predators pass." she said. I nodded and she took my hand and swam swiftly back to the kingdom. As she guided me, I noticed the city was silent and many Talokanil were hiding inside their homes.

I looked up noticing large clouds moving toward us. But they were not clouds, they were sharks, lots of sharks. My eyes widened and finally we passed through the gates of the kingdom and they were closed behind us. We were swimming through the familiar halls of the court and finally we were in the main chambers. Namor was sitting on his large throne. Once he saw me he stood up, concern in his eyes. Namora led me before him and we both bowed before him and he took my shoulders.

"My Thumbelina, are you alright?" he asked. I gave a gentle smile and nodded. We looked up at the darkness of the chambers. I remember the last time we were here, we swam through the top.

"Can they get in?" I asked. Namor shook his head and looked at me with reassurance.

"No. Everything is closed off. We will be in doors for a few days until the women's bleeding stopped." he informed. I nodded looking down now and sighing gently, now reminded of last night's fight.

"I should go check on these women and see if there is anything can help with." I replied. Namor looked a bit discouraged as I began to back away from him.

"Eywa-" he started.

"These are the duties expected of me, my king." I reminded him. He winced and I just turned and swam down one of the halls. I found Atzi and she led me to the medical orb. It was a large room with cots everywhere. The smell of blood was very heavy in here. I looked at Atzi.

"Do you all cramp and feel pain during bleeding?" I asked. Atzi nodded.

"Yes, some pain is stronger than others." she replied and motioning her head at a woman curled up in the fetal position crying. She had a rebreather on, and her hair pulled back. An older woman was sitting behind her rubbing her head and whispering something in her ear. I winced and looked at Atzi who looked at me and nodded as if knowing what I wanted. She guided me over toward the two women and began to speak softly to them. The bracelet translated.

"Dear sister, Queen Eywa would like to help in easing your pain." it translated. The woman crying peaked her eyes open and began to speak.

"This is the price of being a woman. Nothing can be done to help me. I must endure this pain." she replied. Atzi shook her head.

"But it does not have to be this way. The queen is a healer and can soothe your pain." she replied. The young woman looked over at me, her vision must be blurred from her tears.

"Can you help me, my queen?" she asked. I stared at her with soft eyes. I have seen young girls in pain in Wakanda when on their periods. Some have it easy others do not. I nodded.

"Only if you want me to." I replied. Atzi translated my words. The young girl nodded and Atzi moved out the way with a bow. Others were watching me now. I told Atzi to fetch me a bowl of water. She bowed and hurried from the room. I pulled up my skirt and slowly got down on my knees before her. I slowly placed my hands over lower stomach where her arms were shielding before. Predators were outside the glass bumping their noses against the window before swimming on when they felt they couldn't get inside. Atzi returned with some water and sat it at the edge of the bed. I placed my hand in the bowl and gave a gentle sigh of content before pulling my hand back and the water followed moving with the direction of my fingers.

Some of the women gasped and watched as the water moved over her stomach.

"The cause of some cramps is usually having too many prostaglandins, which are chemicals that your uterus makes. These chemicals make the muscles of your uterus tighten and relax, and this causes the cramps." I replied gently. "The water will soothe it."

Atzi tilted her head at me before speaking.

"I am sorry my queen, I do not know those words you are saying and do not know the words to tell her." she replied. I smiled warmly watching the look of relief wash over the young girl's face.

"Just tell her she is going to be fine for this cycle and I will continue to do this for every cycle she has in the future when she is in pain." I replied. Atzi nodded and translated my words to the young girl. I now placed my hand down as the water did what it was supposed to do. The young girl finally sat up and looked down at her body. Her eyes showed shock. She began speaking fast, a big smimle on her face. Even the old woman with her was happy. Atzi looked at me and spoke.

"She has not felt this good on a cycle in a long time." the bracelet translated. I stood up and the young girl grabbed my hands and bowed to my hand. She was speaking fast and I did not need her words to be translated to me. I merely leaned forward and pressed my forehead to her and she did the same accepting my gesture. Now other women were raising their hands asking for me to help them with their pain.

Namor's POV

I watched her quietly from the doorway of the medical chambers, pride in my eyes. She was upset with me, but she refused to let my people suffer because of it. This made me fall even more in love with her.

"Let's just hope she heals you one day when she's upset with you. That would be real love." Attuma teased. I glanced at him with annoyance before turning and leaving the chambers.

"Her anger will disappear soon." I replied casually. He just nodded.

"Yes, my king." he replied, but he wasn't even trying to hide his skepticism. I paused in the water and looked at him.

"You think I am wrong?" I asked. He shook his head.

"No. You as a man and a king were right to remind her of the purpose of your arranged marriage." he replied. His words made my nose twitch in anger.

"What was I supposed to do? Let her do this thing to her body which was stop her from having a baby?" I asked. Attuma looked down for a moment before looking back up to me.

"Are the effects permanent? If she puts this… IUD into her and stops her pregnancy, will she be forever infertile?" he asked. I bit my tongue and looked away.

"No. It only works when inside her and then apparently when she takes it out, she can have children." I muttered. Attuma just squinted at me.

"So… what is the problem?" he asked genuinely confused. I scowled.

"The method she speaks of is from practices of the barbaric surface dwellers." I said. Attuma nodded slowly.

"But she is a healer, I am sure even if you two weren't married, she wouldn't purposely put herself in such danger to stop herself from having babies." he explained. I groaned.

"But what would be the problem of having babies now? She would be taking care of; our children would be taken care of. I have raised you AND Namora. There would be no problem!" I stated. Attuma nodded.

"Yes my king. Maybe she wants you to herself for a while. You two are still newlyweds and from what I heard, a lot has been placed on her shoulders. Why add to her stress?" he asked. I winced at his words and nodded. I looked down in thought. He was right. I was not thinking of my wife's needs. She had already been gone for a week and now that she was back, I wanted nothing more than to hold her and be close to her for an entire week. If she's mad at me then she will not want me around and I do not want her time here in Talokan to be miserable. I looked up at Attuma and nodded placing my hand on his shoulder.

"Thank you." I said.

Eywa's POV

Once I was done I left the medical chambers and swam through the halls needing to rest from all this swimming. I returned to the dry halls of the kingdom and sighed gently before walking down the hall. I looked up at the ceiling to see large creatures swimming above me making the hall dark a little. As the shadows past over us, I thought of Wakanda. Has Shuri found anything about this sickness? There weren't many activities to do in the dry areas since everyone didn't need to be in a dry area. So now it was up to me find something to do. As I turned the corner, I saw Namor approaching. His eyes sparkled and he walked in my direction. I couldn't stop the wince from playing on my face.

"Eywa-" he held his hands out to me but I just held my hands up, my shoulder tightening as if I didn't want to be touched.

"Namor please. I don't want to be bothered." I replied. Now he just froze and looked at me completely stunned.

"Namor… are you that upset with me that you'd use the same name my enemies call me?" he asked. "Do you hate me that much?" I groaned.

"You will not talk me into another fight. Please just leave me alone." I said swiping my arm between show I had had enough, my voice trembling.

"Eywa please I just need to say something." he begged taking hold of my wrists stopping me. I sighed as he spun me around and had me face him. "I am sorry. I should not forbid you about the…IUD."

"No, you shouldn't have." I replied trying to turn from him, but he pulled me back holding me in place.

"So, let me make it up to you. Let me… attract you again." he said. I tilted my head confused.

"What?" I asked. He leaned up and took a few breaths before suddenly taking a step back and slowly he began to move his hips and throw his arms to the air. It was such a fast motion I jumped from shock. He was moving his body in ways I had never seen a human do. He let his wings bring him into the air a bit and he continued his gyrations. I just stood there watching completely thrown off. Oh, my Bast, he is dancing for me. His eyes never left me as he danced. He glided over to me and danced before me, eyes looking at me with regret as he rolled his hips around gliding around me continuing to dance.

I remembered many ceremonies that involved dancing in Wakanda. Men would dance before me keeping eye contact with me to show their interest, their desires. But at the time I was never interested not after what had happened to me. And here he was dancing before me to attract my attention once again. I see my mother has told him many things.

"I am sorry, my Eywa. Your body is yours and yours alone. If you wish to stop it from getting pregnant than I support you. Whatever you decide, just know that I would do anything to make sure you are happy." he said as he continued to dance. I couldn't help but admire the movements of his feet, the swaying of his arms.

"You would keep dancing for me?" I asked. He nodded.

"I would keep dancing if it made you happy." he said. I looked him over.

"You would do anything to make me happy?" I asked. He nodded.

"Anything." he said.

"Would you kill someone if I asked?" I asked. His eyes were now dark and serious as he moved in closer to me now swaying his hips back and forth before me slowly as he wanted to show I had his full attention.

"I would kill someone for you even if you hadn't asked me to." he said darkly and I just watched him for a moment fully believing him. My eyes began to mimic the darkness just as much and now my body was reminding me that we had been apart for too long this past week. Immediately, I began to pull my robes down. He reacted immediately with a growl, wrapping his arms around me and capturing my lips ferociously before pinning me to the closest glass window. Our mouths opened and we devoured each other. I pulled his shorts down and spread my legs further. I could feel his erection pressed against my slit gently teasing me. I ran my fingers through his hair and yelped as he entered me harshly. He wrapped his arms around my thighs and I held on to him as he began to harshly pound into me.

I cried out wildly as I felt my walls clamp down on him quickly. I cried out in bliss feeling waves of pleasuring crashing inside my vagina and sending pleasure up into my stomach. I gripped his hair hard pulling at it and he let out a yell of pleasure. I bit his bottom lip and growled against him savagely. This made his movements only quicken and become more aggressive.

"Say it… say my name!" he pants, his voice ragged. I cried out as he rammed against me harder.

"Fuck me from behind, K'uk'ulkan!" I cried out. He sat me back on my feet, turned me around quickly and I placed my hands on the window. He gripped my hips hard and rammed back into me with a ferociousness that made me scream. He was jack hammering me hard into the window, the halls filled with my cries of pleasures and his growls of victory as he conquered my wet folds. My vision was clouded with pure lust, I couldn't even focus on the beautiful water before me. I could see the look of pure ecstasy on my husband's face as he fucked me into the window.

"K'uk'ulkan!" I yelled out, a delicious popping starting to pulse inside me. My moaning grew louder and louder before I finally felt my walls ringing uncontrollably. Namor's speed increased even more and now we were both screaming hard as our orgasms mixed together.

"Fuck!" I cried out feeling my legs buckle and I thought I would fall, but Namor held me up. He panted heavily smiling as he wrapped his arms now around my hips, gently thrusting into me. I panted gently feeling my body slouch some. Now we melted on the floor together holding each other as we looked out the window at the creatures that passed by. It was as if we were lying in bed together.

"I wish to never hear that name on your lips again." he said lowly.

"I wish for you to never forbid me from doing anything again." I replied back. I felt him kiss the back of my head.

"I promise." he replied. I faced him and nodded.

"I promise." I responded and we smiled and kissed each other passionately.
