Terra Tunn: The Castle on the Plain: Stuck in bed

[innocent-lips.livejournal.com]

Saki lay on the bed, Puffball snuggled under her chin, her half of the luxurious sleeping place almost invisible under books and notebooks, though at the moment she was taking a breaking, snuggled deep in the folds of her bedding, her hands resting over her swollen stomach.

The baby would be coming soon, and she was completely holed up in her room. Moving around simply took too much, and she was worried about hurting the child if she tripped or misjudged the closeness of a table top.

So now she lay, studying in the day and snuggling in against Jubal at night, enjoying his pressence and the time she could spend learning last minute tidbits about childcare.

He kissed her on the forehead and set the rest of the desert on the night table as he slid down on the bed so that he could turn on his side and hold her. "I know. Shhhh, babe. Listen... baby's awake and talkin'."

She wiped her eyes and snuggled against him, closing her eyes and nodding.

"He knows his mommy's being silly," she said softly.

Jubal stroked her hair and lay his cheek against her head, his mouth turning up at the corners as he heard their unborn son indignantly informing her that she was bestest of all.

She rubbed her stomach.

"Hm, let us see what you think after you come out," she said, smiling all the same. "Your daddy's best of all."

Jubal wrinkled his nose, but knew better now than to protest.

She beamed at him, gave him another kiss on the cheek, then sighed.

"I can't wait to see him," she murmured.
