CHAPTER 27
A couple soft knocks on the door pulled the older woman out of her thoughts. She stood up with slight surprise and walked to her front door. When she opened up, she had to beam in joy at the green eyed girl who stood at her door step.
"Laila!" Hayuri smiled.
"I'm glad to see you're all right, Hayuri." She stepped aside. "Come on in!"
Laila watched the young woman enter her house followed by a tall young man, who she thoroughly observed. He was pretty pale and had stunning sapphire eyes, his jaw was angular and his hair seemed almost white; he was really handsome.
"Ok, so this must be the young lad that you wanted to find." She remarked.
"Yeah! His name is Killua."
"Hmm." Laila narrowed her eyes for a moment, with Killua slightly raising an eyebrow, and then clapped her hands once. "You seem alright to me. I always have pretty accurate first impressions. So, tell me, are you here just for some tea or do you wish to stay?"
"Oh, well, actually we were wondering if there was any chance that we could rent a room for the both of us." Hayuri said sheepishly. "I know the room's only got a single bed, but it's until we can figure out a safe place to stay at."
"Oh, dear, for you I can make a different arrangement. The both of you can sleep in my room, which has a double bed and an en-suite bathroom, and I'll settle in the smaller room. I have been thinking about doing just that for a while anyways and also, you will need enough space and a toilet at hand if you wish to get a proper rest at nighy."
"Really?" Hayuri's eyes shone at that.
"Obviously. I hold you dearly and I want to help you out. Also, having a baby is no joke; it's pretty complicated and tiring, especially the first months. So, since I know you don't have a family to help you out with any of that, you can keep renting this room until the both of you have figured out how to raise a child on your own. I can give you a hand every now and then and also some piece of advice. Oh, of course you can talk about it with the father – that's you right?"
"Yeah." Killua nodded and was about to speak again when Hayuri openly yawned.
"Ooops." She said sheepishly and covered her mouth. "I'm sorry, somehow I'm really sleepy even though its only 10 pm."
"Well, you only left a day and a half ago, so I figure you just met with Killua this morning." Again a nod. "You probably didn't sleep well last night, so you could go get some sleep now, if you want to. I changed the bed clothes today, so you can go right away."
"Thank you and sorry." Hayuri bowed for a second. "I didn't want to ask for a bed as soon as I got here."
"Just go." Laila waved her off and she left the dining room with another yawn. Killua was about to stand up as well, but was stopped as soon as Hayuri was out of the room. "Hold it right there."
Killua inwardly growled, but slowly sat down again and, even though he knew this woman could never lay a finger on him, he had to gulp at the sharpness of her glance. The woman served tea for two and sat down opposite of him, putting the tea mug in between his hands.
"I want to hear about you." She said and lifted a finger. "I have come to care about Hayuri almost as if she was one of my own and yet I only know your name."
Killua sighed and he talked practically on a monologue for a long time. He told her about himself, his family and Illumi. He told her how he and Hayuri had met and gotten involved. Killua wasn't completely comfortable telling this things to someone he had just met, but she didn't seem like the one to take no for an answer. Also, for some reason, he trusted this woman; she seemed brutally honest but kind at the same time. When he was done telling her all about himself, she sipped her tea and looked at him with a warm smile.
"You really love her, don't you?"
"Yeah." Killua blushed slightly at this and had to look down at his tea.
"Listen. Having a child together will be a challenge for you as a couple; you should know that many marriages go to hell after the first child is born. Do you know why that is?" She asked and Killua shook his head. "From my experience, there are three mains reasons. The first on is that there's little time as a couple when you have children and most of your time will now be family time. The second one is that raising a child is a great responsibility and a lot of work. Sometimes, parents are not capable of balancing the work they both do, resulting in one of them doing most of it. This, in the end, makes one of them resent the other or feel too tired and stressed out. Most of the time, the one that works the most in taking care of the child is the woman. I don't want to see any of these things happen to you."
"Don't worry. I have been responsible for a lot of things since a child, so I don't think it'll be like that for us. Also, we've never really had much time as a couple anyways. So…." Killua trailed off.
"Oh, on that subject; the third thing is sexuality." She said. Killua felt like standing up to leave and avoid talking about such a subject with this old woman, but opted to stay and listen. "Sexuality with a small baby or even a toddler is complicated. You don't have much time to yourselves, so you won't have much energy or time to do anything. Also, the woman's libido – or sex drive - gets unusually low after giving birth. It's not just the first month and a half as they say, since that period has more to do with a physical recovery thing. Actually, nursing hormones and exhaustion bring sex drive down as long as for a year, which It doesn't mean that nothing will happen at all, but it'll be… slow. I've seen woman being practically coerced –forced sometimes - into having intercourse with their husbands when they don't feel like it, sometimes even feeling pain while at it." Laila stopped for a moment and looked at Killua's flustered and awkward expression. "I lived through that with my first husband and regret it greatly. I want you to promise that you won't make her do anything because of commitment and you'll always make sure she's willing to whatever..."
"I know!" Killua interrupted her, looking appalled at the suggestion. "I would never do anything like that!"
"I know, you don't look like that kind of guy, but I just wanted to make sure. You can't blame me; sometimes these kinds of things are seen as normal by some people, you know?" Laila sighed, but then a devilish smirk appeared on her face. "On that note, you should enjoy your alone time with Hayuri as much as you can before the baby is born. My room is practically soundproof, so you shouldn't worry about anything."
"Err…." Killua didn't know what to say. He wasn't sure if he liked this woman's straightforwardness or if he didn't.
"Just go, maybe she's still awake." She waved him off when he looked at her suspiciously. "Go, go."
Killua didn't say anything else and entered the bedroom they would sleep in with some uncertainty building in his gut. It was pretty spacious and had a wide glass door that looked out to the small backyard. On the opposite side of the room, there was another door, which Killua assumed led to the bathroom. Inside the room there was an old dresser and a double sized bed with small night tables on each side. In the middle of the mattress, lay Hayuri with her hair sprawled out around her and breathing in softly. Killua chuckled, all of his uneasiness fading immediately, and walked to stand next to the empty side of the bed. He took off everything but his boxers – he had always slept like that and hopes that Hayuri wouldn't mind - and climbed on the bed. He laid down a little awkwardly at first, because he had never slept next to anyone before. He turned to look at Hayuri's face and had to smile at the peaceful expression she had on. Killua made up his mind in a second and moved closer to her to put his hands around her waist. He then nuzzled her neck softly and earned a loud sigh, to which he smiled in contempt. Killua closed his eyes and relaxed almost instantly; somehow her presence lulled him into sleep in the next minute.
The next day, a soft light entering though the glass on the door was the first thing that Hayuri noticed. She opened an eye to see that there was a ray of light filtering through the canopy of a tree outside, which came directly to her right eye. She moved her face slightly to avoid it and found that, behind her, Killua was sound asleep. She had to look at him for a moment, marveling on how handsome he looked even with a bed hair and his face a little pressed by his own shoulder. His arm was stretched under her and, only now, she realized that he was holding by the waist. Hayuri blushed, but didn't dare move away from him. She closed her eyes for a while longer and took a deep breath in. Hayuri heard a deep voice mumble into her shoulder.
"Wanted to sleep any longer? I didn't know you were such a sleepyhead."
"You were awake?" she raised her eyebrows and he simply nodded. "I wanted to wait for you last night, but I was too tired and fell asleep instantly. Heh."
"Well, I was held against my will for at least an hour, so it's good that you didn't stay up."
"Was it that terrible?"
"Worse than my training back at home." Killua smirked and she lightly laughed.
"Hey, what do you think about her proposal? I would like to stay here; she's such a good person and I think you'll grow to like her too. Besides, I don't think you'll want to call your mother whenever you have questions about the baby."
"No way." Killua scoffed. "I don't think staying here will be too bad. Also, if we ever decide to move somewhere else, we can simply leave."
Hayuri smiled at him and rolled on her back to stare at the ceiling for a while. The previous day, she and Killua had been travelling while trying to remain discreet, so they barely talked or interacted with one another. Hayuri had wanted to say so many things to him after they left his house, but hadn't had the chance until now. She wondered for a moment if it was the right moment, and then spoke.
"Hey Killua. I wanted to thank you for what you did back at your parents place." She started slowly. "I was really afraid that they would force me to raise our baby there and that you would agree."
"Well, I had wanted to stop living myself like that for a long time. Much less would I allow my daughter or son to go through all of that since a toddler."
"I'm proud of you, you know?" she smiled and Killua felt a warm smile on his lips." It must've taken great courage to stand up against them like that for the first time… you had never done that according to what you've told me until now."
"I had never done that, but it wasn't that hard. Illumi had planted his needle in my head just when I was old enough to start thinking by myself, so I hadn't had the chance to stand up for what I wanted. Now that I removed it, I can think clearly again and make choices that don't go along with my parents desires." Killua closed his eyes with contempt. "For a long time I felt like my life was not mine to control, but it is at last; it feels completely liberating."
"I'm glad." Hayuri moved to roll on her side, to face Killua, and threw an arm over his chest. Only then she took notice that he was bare chested and her eyes widened. "A-are you even wearing something?"
"Not really." Killua said with a devilish glint in his eyes.
"Nothing at all?" Hayuri's eyes widened and her ears turned red.
"Well, just my underwear." Killua said and wiggled his eyebrows.
"What if Laila comes in?" she whispered, as if she would hear her out from outside.
"She won't. She, err… said that her room was almost soundproof and that we should enjoy our in here." Killua said and awkwardly coughed.
"No way." Hayuri's eyes widened and she had to cover her face in embarrassment. "I can't believe she told you that."
"Yeah. It was pretty awkward. She first had a long word with me about the first months after the baby is born and how I was supposed to work equally with you and such. Then she said that we should make the most of our alone time before there's three of us." Killua turned to face her as well and moved a hand to her face and softly traced her lower lip. "Actually, I think she's right, don't you?"
Hayuri seemed a little taken aback by this, and had to fight the blush in her face as she nodded. She looked at Killua in the eye and saw clear desire shining in his eyes. She thought that she would be a little nervous, since this would be the second time that they kissed. However, somehow she felt completely at ease – except for the clear desire building in her body. She moved to lightly kiss his lips and both of them closed their eyes as their lips moved against one another's. After a couple minutes, the kiss had gotten more fervent and their tongues were in action, so Hayuri moved to sit on top of Killua with a naughty smile in place.
"Damn, Hayuri. Do you want to crush the father of your child?" he said and smirked. He couldn't help but think that with slightly swollen and parted lips and disarranged hair she looked truly hot.
"First of all, I haven't gained any weight; it's the baby, so this is your fault too. Secondly, I know you can barely feel that; you're a Zoldyck after all." She smirked and moved down to bite his lip.
"Ah." Killua could only growl at that. He was about to say another come back at her, but Hayuri moved and sucked his neck, which dispelled every thought that he had in mind. He moved his hands up her shirt and inhaled the scent of her hair. She moved her lips to his ear and sucked on his earlobe, which made heat build in Killua's groin.
"Damn." He growled and turned them around with him on top. He pushed his hips closer to her and she gasped loudly at the feel of his erection against her. Killua turned to kiss her neck as well and slowly moved down to her collar bone. He kissed and licked whatever skin he managed to uncover of her breasts, but finally pulled her shirt upwards and removed it at once. He looked down at Hayuri as he straddled her hips and her quick breathing. He looked at her in the eye, with an almost predator look in his own, and he moved his fingers up her hips. He trailed them along her swollen belly and up to her ribcage, making her shiver slightly and get goose bumps on her skin. Hayuri was completely stunned by the look in his eyes as he devoured her with his thorough observation. Her heart raced even quicker and could feel his fingers tracing fire along her sides. She moaned softly when his hand stoked her breast in a circular manner. She closed her eyes, enjoying the sensation, and felt something wet and hot close on her other breast.
"Hnnn." She moved her head back and slightly opened her mouth. Killua kissed and licked her breasts for what seemed like long minutes, until she pushed him back and rolled them over once again. She looked down at him with a flushed face and slowly sat on his hips. His hands shifted to grab her hips firmly and push her lower into him, making the both of them softly groan in pleasure. Hayuri moved against his hard member a couple times, but then moved up to kiss his neck and shoulders. She left a trail of kisses down his chest and down his abdomen. When her wet tongue licked him under the edge of his underwear, Killua closed his eyes and hissed in desire. He felt her remove his underwear and heard it land somewhere to the left, but it was soon forgotten when her hands touched him. It was soft and slow, as if not being sure what to do, so Killua moved his hand to hold hers.
"Like this." He said and made her fingers close around his length firmly. He moved her hand up and down, showing her the right motion, which she picked up after a couple seconds. She pumped her hand up and down his length for a couple more seconds. Suddenly, Killua felt her mouth close around him and he had to suppress a loud moan at the feel of her tongue against him. After a while, he had to push her away and sit up. "Let me."
He pushed her down on the bed and removed the rest of her clothes in one swift motion. Killua moved her legs so that they were bent on either side of her and he crouched in front of her. He inspected her for a while and moved a hand to softly touch her legs and up to her groin. She gasped when he slid a finger between her fold and moved if up and down. Killua used two fingers to part her lips and expose her wetness to him. He moved his head closed and licked her, immediately finding her clit and sucking hard on it.
"Ahh! K-Killua!" she moved a hand to his hair. "Not so hard."
Killua nodded and licked and sucked on her mound – softly now - which after a while earned him moans and gasps. He looked out from in between her legs to watch her face as her body tensed and she opened her mouth to moan loudly. Killua was surprised to find that her womb pulsated under his hand as she came and he made the decision to feel her himself. He moved up to come face to face with her and they kissed passionately. Killua pulled back and locked her in the eye to see the deep desire burning in her.
"Hayuri." He said and she slightly moved her head up to signal that she was listening. "I want to feel you come when I'm inside."
"Do it." Hayuri said and bit her lip in expectation.
Killua moved his hips to hers and he entered her the next second, amazed that she seemed even tighter now than the last time they'd made love – when she was still a virgin. He wondered if it had anything to do with the baby, but soon his thoughts cleared when she moved against him. He met her movements and opened her legs in front of his chest, giving him a good view of where they were joined.
Hayuri watched Killua moved her hand to touch her as he pumped in and out of her at the same pace. She closed her eyes in delight and concentrated on the amazing feeling that came on her. His thrusts coming deep inside her and his finger making her clit swell once again were driving her mad. Not long after, she felt her body tighten and her body tremble in pleasure as she hit her climax.
Killua watched as she neared her orgasm and stopped moving inside of her as he watched her. She moved her head back and opened her mouth to softly scream. He was flabbergasted as he felt her walls pulsate around him and squeeze his member with considerable force. It was such an incredibly good feeling, that he almost went over the edge, but managed to catch himself in time. When her moaning stopped and her body relaxed once more, Killua let his instinct take over. He started firmly pumping in and out of her as her legs hung on his shoulder and he brought her hips closer to meet his thrusts. After a minute or two, Hayuri's face scrunched up in delight and she opened her mouth.
"Killua, harder." She instructed and he obliged. Her gasps turned into moans and he felt her walls close up on him once again. He felt that he was close as well and decided to move again, but was stopped when Hayuri pushed him on his back on sat on top of him. "I want to see you come like this."
She said and moved down to kiss and suck on his neck, still remaining connected to him and slightly pressing her belly against his abdomen. Killua got his cue and thrusted into her hard as he felt his climax get closer and closer. When he finally came, Hayuri watched with amazement as his eyebrows furrowed deeply and his lips parted for him to moan with a deep voice. His breathing calmed down soon, but she didn't move away and lied on top of him.
"I had wanted to see your face when you came, since last time I hadn't had the chance." She whispered into his shoulder and encircled his neck with her arms.
"And?" Killua asked.
"It was hot, incredibly hot. I think I might get addicted to that expression of yours." She smirked.
"Well, I don't think it'll be a problem, since I think I will have to see you come every day from now on." He groped her ass with a crooked smirk and she laughed a bit at his antics.
Hayuri certainly would to try and touch every corner of his body and give him as much pleasure as she could. She would make the most out of this time she and he had by themselves.
