Chapter 2:

A couple of weeks later, Yuki sat over the toilet spilling her dinner.

"What is wrong with me," she whispered to herself. "I'm always exhausted and I haven't been feeling well." She went back to that first night of her marriage it was actually the most amazing thing she had ever experienced in her life and they made love at least twice that night then again when they woke up. It was a beautiful experience.

Wait, she sat up, could she be…?

No, that's not possible…. is it?

A maid came in and started making the bed while another got a fresh dress out for Yuki to wear for the day. It was a lovely light blue heart neckline dress.

Feeling a little uncomfortable while they dressed her Yuki looked at the older maid. "Um," she fumbled with her long hair. "Can I ask you a question?"

The maid looked at her through her whitening hair with a gentle smile. "Of course, Lady Yuki."

It was still going to take a while for her to get used to being called that.

She took a breath. "How can you tell if you are pregnant?" Yuki blushed brightly.

The younger maid gasped dropping the duster she had.

The older maid just smiled. "You're having morning sickness aren't you?"

"Um well I'm sick and exhausted; yes."

"I think it's time you spoke to your husband and gave him the wonderful news."

The maids walked out leaving her to her thoughts.

A couple of hours later, Kaname finally walked through the front door. Home from doing his business with the new Senate he now had full control over. He was the new King but he decided to have some aristocrats to make things fair and to run things by him. And of course it was the three that were in the night class with him that decided to stay by his side; Ruka, Seiren, Hanabusa, and Akatsuki. He ultimately made all of the decisions.

Yuki had been waiting for him in the front room, her nerves on edge. How would he react? Would he be happy or angry?

"Yuki," he said in his gentle voice. "How are you feeling? Any better?" Kaname had been worried about her sickness; mainly because vampires never got sick unless it was serious.

"Ya, of course I'm perfectly fine." She smiled her usual smile. "But I have something to say."

"Whatever it is, it won't change anything between us." He cupped her face gently and smiled that loving smile she loved so much.

That may not be the case, she thought.

She steadied herself. "I think I may be pregnant and that's why I haven't been feeling well."

Kaname's smile faded and was replaced with shock. She knew it, he wasn't happy. Then suddenly his face burst with a smile and he grabbed her, swinging her around.

"I'm so happy. Pregnant."

He put her back on the ground and kneeled in front of her stomach, smiling.

"I will make sure you have the best there is to offer and I will protect you with my life," Kaname whispered to her stomach…. no their baby.

Yuki laughed. "So names. I was thinking Katashi for a boy and Akemi for a girl. What do you think?"

"Perfect," he whispered. "Perfect."

He stood. "Now let's go eat dinner."

Yuki walked beside him into the dining room, glowing beautifully due to the pregnancy. She didn't believe she could be this happy when she left the academy but here she was, the happiest she had been in her life. Her life finally felt complete, no worries, no one to hurt her or her family, and a baby on the way. The only thing she had to worry about was the moment Zero made good on his promise. Although she said she would be waiting she could no longer keep that promise. She was going to be a mother and that was the most important thing in her life right now. Not Zero.

They sat at each end of the table with Kaname's new Senate.

Yuki smiled at each of them before looking at Kaname for permission. He nodded slowly with a smile.

Yuki cleared her throat and looked around at each person at the table. "We have an announcement."

Everyone looked at her expectantly, especially Hanabusa. He has always been the most loyal and she liked him the most.

"I'm pregnant."

Everyone gasped. But Ruka stood. "Excuse me," she whispered sadly and walked out of the room. Yuki had always known about Ruka's love for Kaname but she also knew that Kaname only had eyes for her. But she also knew that Akatsuki loved Ruka and she wished Ruka would realize just how much Akatsuki sacrifices just for Ruka.

Akatsuki stood too. "Excuse me Lord Kaname, Lady Yuki." He went after Ruka.

Yuki glanced at Kaname and got up herself. "I think I will go talk to her myself."

Kaname just nodded and started a conversation with with Hanabusa.

Yuki walked down the hall to the guest bedroom she knew belonged to Ruka.

"But why did that girl have to interfere. I love Lord Kaname but he will never love me because of her."

Yuki put her hand down. Knocking probably wasn't the best idea. Ruka hated her.

"Ruka, he's a pureblood you are not. It wouldn't have worked out anyway," Akatsuki explained.

Yuki knew she shouldn't be eavesdropping but she couldn't help it.

"But….but," Ruka started crying.

Yuki had had enough. She burst through the door. "Ruka this is ridiculous!"

"Lady Yuki," they bowed.

"Ruka look," Yuki explained calmly. "Can't you see that Akatsuki loves you."

Akatsuki started and glanced at Ruka.

"Is this true," Ruka asked Akatsuki.

"Yes," he resigned.

"I'll leave you two alone." Yuki walked out the door and back into the dining room.

Kaname was sitting alone. "Hanabusa went to his room. Shall we retire?" He stood.

"Yes but I was actually thinking about a bath."

"I'll join you."

Yuki laid against Kaname in the tub. It felt blissful.

"You know we can try something here."

Yuki glanced up. "But won't it hurt the baby."

Kaname laughed. "No, of course it won't.

Yuki smiled and nodded. They started to kiss slowly and Kaname deepened it.

Yuki slid him inside her and began to rock. Oh it felt so good and it seemed it feel even better now that she was pregnant and her nipples were more sensitive as they rubbed against his chest. The kiss ended and she began to moan. "Oh Kaname."

Kaname pushed himself further inside her roughly. It was intoxicated. She couldn't think the pleasure was too much for her. Finally she burst, slowly coming back down to earth. Kaname had also just finished and smiled at her.

"Let's clean up and go to bed."

"Alright," she agreed.

Once finished she fell against the mattress, exhausted and blissful. Kaname laid beside her and wrapped her in his arms.

"Goodnight my princess," he whispered before slipping off to sleep.
