"Mmm~ What a great sleep~" Eilownia said groggily as she stretched. Marix was already awake and laying next to her on his side, watching.
"How are you feeling?" He whispered as he gently placed his hand on her lower abdomen.
His heart skipped a beat. It was the first time he'd touched her there since they reunited. He rubbed it with an even gentler touch at the thought of his child being in there.
Eilownia didn't react at all to his touch of her stomach and looked up at him, "I feel fine so far. A little bloated…..but I don't feel sick."
Marix nodded, "That's good. Take a few more minutes to relax and wake up and we'll get going."
She wiggled her mouth. "Are you sure we have to go to that place? I want to go home."
Marix pressed his lips against her cheek, "We will go home directly after. I want to make sure you feel safe not just temporarily but for eternity."
