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

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.

"Yeah." His arm went around her so that her head was laying on his shoulder, his other hand going down to rest on the curve of her stomach where the baby lay quietly projecting his happy thoughts and attempts at conversation. The thought that they'd soon be holding that tiny child awed him despite all the things he'd seen in his lifetime.

She closed her eyes, then smiled.

"I won't be useless anymore, either," she giggled.

"You're not useless," his voice was tender.

All I can do right now is lay in bed and eat," she smiled. "I think that is a bit useless."

"Nuh uh. You're taking care of baby. That's the most important thing in the world."

"I... I guess so," she blinked, not having thought of it that way.

"Have I ever lied to you?" His blue eyes twinkled.

"No. But you tease me sometime," she giggled.
mancalledjubes: (cheesy grin!)

"'Cause it makes you laugh." He grinned.

"Yes, it does. You make me feel good enough to laugh," she sighed happily.

"You make me feel good too." He rubbed his cheek on her hair. "You and the kids are the most important things in my world."

"And Layka, too?" she said softly, looking up at him.

"Layka's part of Kev's world." He chuckled.

"Right," she blinked. "But... so are the children there."
