Forsworn 30

Velvet moaned and whimpered as the sunlight crept in. Everything hurt, but in a delicious way, she'd never expected her man to be so dominant, then being so loving and tender.

She rolled over to find herself resting on Harry's bare chest. With her ears under his chin and nose, she couldn't help but let her eyes and hand wander over his body. She gently traced her man's scars, both fresh and new. With her other hand, she gently pressed her swollen stomach…she wasn't pregnant but the state of her stomach spoke volumes of his virility.

Velvet slowly observed the room, it was definitely a showcase of their passion. Everything bar the wardrobe and the bed had been knocked over; she could see her leggings and pumps strewn across the balcony, the tree outside was carrying Harry's trousers, his underwear were nowhere to be seen. There were cracks and dents on the wall separating the bathroom. She was extremely sore but not for one second did she regret it.

"You're up early…" A raspy voice resonated behind her. She looked over and down to see a bleary red and silver eye looking up at her.

"I wanted to be sure that it wasn't a dream." Harry rolled behind her, wrapping his legs around her waist and his arms underneath her tits, holding her to him.

"It can't be a dream, because, if this is a dream then it's one I don't want to wake up from. Besides if it is a dream, where's the house? Where's the little allotment out the back and my hammock latched between two trees with you and me in it."

Velvet giggled "Where are the children, clamouring for juice…and don't you dare say carrot juice."

Harry froze against her, his breathing hitched. She hadn't just said that had she? Velvet tilted her head back "Hey, is something wrong?"

Harry paused as he wrested his chin on her head, his arms and legs tightening around her "Do you…really mean that?" He whispered, voice hoarse and croaky; Velvet internally winced, she'd accidentally hit a nerve…but…she was genuine.

"It's been a thought since 18 months ago…especially what with our interesting dates. Could I do without the interesting circumstances that follow you? Yes, but that'd be boring because if I went without them I wouldn't have been a Huntress, but, I wouldn't have met you. Harry, I'm not good with this but I'm with you…all the way."

Harry let out a breath, gently projected into Velvet's neck getting her to rise up his body and try to push away from the weird sensation on the back of her neck. "Thanks, I'm with you all the way."

Velvet grinned as she snaked her arms around his shoulders, before lifting herself up and straddling his waist "Now what?"

"We could stay in bed, order food?"

Velvet giggled at that "I would love that but…I can't take much more." She gently pulled Harry's hands downwards over her bulging belly.

"You're not…"

"Faunus, whilst we share animal traits, are still humanoids. We still have on average a nine-month pregnancy but ease of pregnancy…that varies between Faunus Species…"

Harry grinned and nuzzled her cheek "So it's true that…"

"HARRY! But yes…Rabbit Faunus are amongst some of the more fertile Faunus. My parents have six of us…I'm the second eldest, if you must know, the eldest daughter." Velvet exclaimed before dissolving into laughter; she'd missed this…she missed Harry's weird humour, he even though he'd made a few jokes at her expense, they were never rude. This, it was just him finding out what he was in for.

"Human-Faunus, relationships aren't uncommon but they're…"

Harry fell back, pulling her with him "I don't care. You're with me, I'm with you…we'll be fine. I've finally got a glimpse of the other side, do you, honestly think I'm not going to fight for this?" Velvet looked at him from her position of sitting on him.

"Please…for me… can you set aside your sword and penchant need for fighting and violence for me?"

"For you anything? Now…about the food?"

Velvet groaned "No carrots. First let me have a shower."

"I'll join you, save water, and I just want to hold you."

(Shade)

The Beacon Brigade had assembled "So…what are we going to do? We fought at Beacon and now Shade, it would stand to reason that the other two academies might be in danger." Coco said as she addressed the assembled Hunters.

Nolan stood "Coco, I get it. I really get it, the other academies are going to be under attack, but, this is not just normal! I just want some answers before going back into the meatgrinder. Grimm attacks are normally random, yet, these were all meticulously planned."

Coco let out a breath "I know. I share your concerns Nolan, I really do, we need answers and we might just have someone willing to tell us."

Fox cocked his head "Harry?"

The members of the Brigade looked at Fox "You can talk? We thought you were mute or shy."

Fox snorted "When your semblance is telepathy, it kind of makes your mouth unnecessary. CFVY are use to it, so I keep up the pretence of being shy."

Yatsuhashi sighed "He never shuts up."

"And thanks for ruining my reputation."

"Boys, enough, professionalism. Nolan, I'll bring Harry to us the first thing when he gets back."

Sage sighed "I still don't get why we need to wait for Harry to give us answers, when we should have questioned him."

"Sage, are you blind? Do you remember what he, Harry, was doing during the battle at Beacon? The guy's a force of barely controlled nature; I'd arrived in Vale when the Grimm invaded. I saw him get EATEN and only for that Grimm to dissolve leaving him alive…so yeah…Sage, taking Harry in a fight ain't going to work."

(Velvet and Harry)
After much reluctance, sleep deprived but glowing, the duo headed out into Vacuo for a night of fun, entertainment and disasters.
