The Sorcerer's Bride

Kaldrek had fallen asleep on her . Zylvia smiled as she brushed the hair away from his face . His face usually had a gentle look to it but he looked twice as innocent when asleep .

He must have been tired . Zylvia felt sorry for him . He definitely had a tendency to overwork himself, and without even noticing . It was the way he was . At least he enjoyed his job . Not everyone got to have their job and hobby rolled into one .

Her fingers continued threading through his hair . He could probably use a haircut, but Zylvia would never tell him that except jokingly . She loved his hair, the way it never laid flat . And it was so soft to the touch .

Zylvia eyed her husband and then leaned closer to him, decking her head back against his chest . She shuttered her eyes and tried to fall asleep . Her stomach still felt somewhat queasy, though much better than it had .

The worse thing was feeling nauseous like this was getting her hopes up . Mostly just because it was abnormal for her to feel this way . But it could be any number off things, there was no guarantee that she was pregnant . As much as she wished this was the case .

Feeling slightly uncomfortable she squirmed around, using Kaldrek"s body to help relieve the unease of her stomach . It helped that, even in his sleep, his body naturally reacted to help her get comfortable .

She was probably overthinking things . She was most likely only run down from all the training . And it was probably just affecting her .

She took in a deep breath of her husband"s scent . As usual, it made the muscles in her body relax just getting proof in her senses that he was here with her . As her body relaxed, her eyes drooped and it was not long before she fell asleep .

She woke up to being gently kissed on her forehead . Even though she was awake she burrowed deeper into the warmth of her husband underneath her . "Nnn . "

She felt his shoulders shake even before the soft chuckle left his mouth . His hands moved through her hair, twirling the strands around his fingers . The gentle tugs had a soothing quality to them .

"How are you feeling? Better than yesterday?" Though she was not looking at his face, Zylvia knew that Kaldrek had a gentle look on his face as he said this .

She thought about it for a few minutes, "I feel fine when laying like this . But, yeah, I think that I am still feeling some nausea . "

"Oh, dear . " His hands stilled for a moment from stroking her hair, "Are you sick? Is there anything I can do?"

She pulled back from him, sitting up on his waist . He looked so concerned . "I"m fine, Kaldrek . " She could not yet tell him what she hoped was going on with her, not till she was sure . She did not want to get his hopes up if she was not .

But she had yet to have her monthly, so she was considering that there was a good possibility that her husband had in fact managed to impregnate her .

Fayre might have a better idea . She had been the one who used to work with pregnant woman a lot . Zylvia knew that she lacked knowledge on the subject, only knowing the barest facts that she had heard people mention .

As she stood up, she realized that her nausea was disappearing . She smiled at her husband and kissed him, "Really, I feel fine . It"s gone now . "

He sighed in relief and ruffled her hair, "I love you, Zylv . " He placed his hand on the side of her face, cupping her cheek gently, as his other hand pulled her into a hug . After staring into her eyes for a moment, he leaned forward gently leaning his forehead on hers, "I hate seeing you even mildly uncomfortable . I am glad you are feeling better . "

She caught his mouth with hers, leaning into him, and wrapping her arms around him . When she broke away from him, she looked at him shyly, "I know . It"s in every action you do towards me . "

His eyes lit up hearing her, "Good . Then I am doing a good job . "

The look of satisfaction on her husband"s face made Zylvia burst into laughter . Her eyes met his and she smiled at him .

He leaned towards her and kissed her again, pulling her close to him, "I have half a mind just to keep you here all morning…"

"Can you imagine how we would be teased?" A giggle left her lips . "I mean, with our friends?"

"Half the morning, then?"

"I kinda want to talk to Fayre . " She tilted her head at him, "But I can give you an hour?"

He grinned at her, "Fair enough . I"ll take an hour of your time . But you owe me more later . "

"Alright . With a life time to repay you… I am sure I can manage to do so . "

He ducked his head back down to hover by her lips, "Yep . But I was thinking more like tonight for you paying me back . " His kiss pressed against her lips, as he stole her breath and made her knees go weak .
