Clovis smiled softly as he gently ran his fingers through Kyera's hair . She was asleep in the fallen cradle, her body exhausted from her emotional roller coaster . He still didn't know why Talis had insisted that he find her . Now, he was glad the tiger had . It was obvious at a glance something was very wrong . He had seen her pour emotions into a tree before, but that had been in the gardens quite a while ago, after she found out He was still alive, and they had lost their home with his family . She had blamed herself then, he wondered what emotions she was transfering to the tree this time .
He sat down on the tree and slid into place beside Kyera . Carefully, he tilted her into his arms and snuggled her . His heart bonding with hers as his body senses her heart beat . She murmurs softly nuzzling into him like a kitten disturbed from her sleep . Clovis waited patiently for those golden eyes to open and focus .
Advertisement"Clovis?" She murmured as his scent . Her eyes opened slowly, as she tried to wake up in his arms . He smiled kissing her forehead . There was a strange tension in the air, as if a secret someone hid in the wind, just beyond the barrier, but it was so slight that neither really noticed it . One was still too asleep to pay attention, but the other was focused on her .
"Who else would be brazen enough to invade your Shadow Guard and harass you while you sleep?" He asked teasingly, his smile dazzling . She stole a light kiss from him, unable to resist this morning . The brief feeling of his lips to hers was enough to quiet the deep set fluttering in her heart .
"I will give you that . There are very few on earth that would dare . You and you alone would survive long enough to hold me . " She replies cuddling into him a bit . Clovis kissed her hair and smiled, feeling content in the moment .
"I should hope so . I don't want to have to destroy any competition any time soon . " He replied feeling a brief touch of masculine possession . She was his wife, the mother of his beautiful daughter . He had no intentions of letting anyone else touch her . Then a thought crossed his mind . "I noticed when I walked up you were pouring your emotions into the tree and they didn't feel positive . Is something wrong?" His words were careful but direct . Kyera frowned, unable to meet his eyes now . Her fingers fidgeted lightly with the laces of her dress . "Kyera, talk to me love . Let me shoulder your burden . " He added soothingly, his voice the gentlest caress on her senses .
"I know, and it isn't that I don't want to share . I am just… having to come to terms with it for myself before I try and explain it to anyone else . " Kyera struggled to explain what was going on . He needed to know, he had every right to know, but she still felt timid . That wasn't something she felt often and it equated to fear . Did he want to have children with her? She hadn't asked . They had Raina, she was all they really needed, but there was a sense of pride and happiness she couldn't explain at the child in her womb . Their child, born of love and understanding . She would be a better mother than her own, this child would be raised with love and security…
"Then, My Kitten, please use me as a sounding board . Perhaps I can help?" Clovis offered, sweeping her onto his lap so she wouldn't be at such a awkward angle, and his arms could fit completely around her .
"To be honest, your one of the ones I have to find a way of telling . " She replied softly, looking a bit uncertain . His hands were resting on her tummy . She couldn't help but hope he would be excited, but her words darkened his expression .
"Just tell me straight then . You and I have been through alot together, I'm sure it isn't anything I can not forgive . " Clovis reasoned, offering a reassuring smile as he looked up into her eyes with their position . She smiled back softly . Her hands came to rest over his, holding them over her slightly rounded tummy .
'Clovis, My husband, we are going to have a baby' Kyera tried to say the words but they wouldn't come out . It was like they were caught in her throat, but then he looked down at her stomach and his eyes widened .
"There are two heart beats . " He spoke in shock, his expression suddenly went a bit blank, other than the wide eyed stare as he looked down at his palms . Kyera chuckled nervously, her knees instinctively shifting .
