"You're pregnant?!" Tayana took another step towards the pair her eyes blazing. "You're fucking pregnant?!"
"I don't think she's too happy about it," Lily turned back to Ryan with a look of mock sadness on her beautiful face.
"This isn't funny you stupid girl. Do you have any idea what you have done?"
"I'm having my mates baby. Isn't that what we're meant to do?"
"You have ruined everything because of your selfishness! Now your child will live in fear because of what you have done."
"No mum, if you had told me from the beginning you could have prevented this. Everything that happens after this is on your head."
"The Angels have always granted you favour before Lilith. They wont give you that courtesy again, watch your back. All of you."
With that she left, Ryan stroked her stomach slightly feeling his excitement grow at the life growing inside her.
"You're pregnant?!" Lucy's voice was raised and Lily turned guiltily, the Elf snatched the glass of wine from her hand and looked at her sternly.
"I wasn't going to drink it."
"You're having a baby?"
"Yeah."
Lucy's face split into a wide grin and she pulled the small girl into her arms. "Oh my god, that's why you're moving. You're going to Purgatory?"
"We all are."
Lucy dragged her to sit back on the floor and they leant their heads together engaging in baby talk. Aaron clapped Ryan on the back in congratulations.
"I'm happy for you mate."
"Thanks Aaron."
"Are you worried? About what the Angel's might do? I mean a member of the Angel royal family having a Demon's child cant sit well with them."
"We have sixteen years to figure that out and we have you. We're not scared."
"They must really hate you guys."
"I'm sure they do kid." He smiled down at Lily and felt her happiness through their new bond. "I'm sure they do."
-
She woke in the middle of the night, a small noise downstairs made her jump and she slid out of bed leaving Ryan sleeping beside her, she pulled an oversized baseball jersey over her head and padded downstairs . Pulling her messy hair into a ponytail she scanned the dark rooms trying to find the source of the noise.
"Hi Abi."
A tall figure emerged from the shadows and stepped towards her, his eyes scanned her face and she noticed with surprise that he had been crying.
"Hi Angel," she looked down unable to meet his eyes.
"Don't call me that Abi, please."
"You're pregnant?" She nodded and looked at the ground. "You did tell me."
"I did."
"You're happy?"
"Yes."
"Raim is happy?"
"Of course he is."
"Then you have made your decision."
"There was never one to be made. It has always been Ryan, no one else."
"Not even when we were kids?"
She laughed softly and looked into his blue eyes. "For a while of course I loved you. You were an Angel, you were perfect. But then you left and I left and then there was Ryan and it was different. It was different then it was with me and you, I couldn't see myself without him that's when I knew."
"So you will never be mine?"
"I never was to begin with." Her eyes were sad and automatically her hand came to rest protectively against her stomach. There was no sign of a bump yet but he still felt a rush of sadness that the baby growing inside her would never be his. Slowly he nodded and walked from the room, she watched his retreating back with a mixed sense of relief and sadness.
"Are you OK?"
She jumped and turned, Ryan stood behind her his arms folded and his eyes wary. She nodded and bit her lip worriedly.
"I should have called you."
"Did he hurt you?" She shook her head, he glanced down at her stomach.
"We're both fine." he dropped to his knees in front of her hand placed both hands on her stomach.
"Good." He kissed her through the jersey and felt the energy of the life inside her. Standing he pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply.
"You're not mad at me?" Her voice was teasing and she looked up at him through her lashes.
"No, not mad." He lifted her into his arms and she wrapped her legs around his waist, walking her back into her room he lay her gently onto the bed and kissed her again. He pulled the jersey over her head and kissed her breasts softly, taking a nipple into his mouth he tongue it until she moaned quietly she slid her hands into his blonde curls and pulled him close.
He slid his hand up her thighs before the came to rest on her ribs, his thumbs stroking across her stomach. He kicked off the pyjama bottoms he wore and settled himself between her legs, she kissed him and pushed her hips up against him. He slipped a hand between their bodies and one finger found her lit, she moaned quietly and he leant down to whisper in her ear.
"So wet for me poppet." She blushed slightly.
"Shut up and fuck me."
Gently he pushed his hips forward his thick cock pressing into her, her knees came up to hug his hips and she pushed up against him, he supported his weight on his fists on the bed and began to thrust slowly.
The torturous rhythm drove her wild and she raked her nails down his back bringing angry red scratches from his skin, he hissed in a breath and stilled.
"You don't need to be careful with me." Her voice was quiet and he laughed softly, dropping his elbows down to the bed he kissed her before resting his forehead against hers.
"I don't want to hurt you."
"I've told you before, I am Fallen too. You wont hurt me." His eyes flashed to her stomach and she laughed. "You know a Demon's libido grows when they are pregnant. If you refuse to sleep with me I may have to go elsewhere."
He growled playfully and nipped her bottom lip, his hips began to move without him thinking as he continued to stare into her face.
"You wont hurt us Ryan." She rolled them before he could do anything and held his hands down either side of his head, rolling her hips she smiled as the pleasure washed over his face and sat up straight, slowly she began to move her hips up and down massaging his cock with the wet, heat of her tight pussy drawing a soft moan from her lips.
He rested his hands on her thighs his fingers digging into her skin, the muscles in his arms bunched as he fought to keep his control. She rested her hand on his chest and sped up the thrusts of her hips and he growled loudly.
"Feeling braver now baby?" Her voice was breathy but teasing as she continued to work herself against him and he flipped her onto her back before slamming back inside her. Her pleasure came through the bond between them pushing his own higher and a red haze came over his eyes, he thrust hard into her hitting against her cervix each time he bottomed out inside her and she cried out in a mixture of pleasure and pain.
"Fuck Ryan. I'm going to cum." Her nails dug into his back again and she bit his earlobe as she came hard around him. He groaned loudly as he jetted into her before collapsing on top of her, she gently ran her fingers down his back and kissed his shoulder.
"See, no need to be careful with me." He laughed against her neck and rolled off her to lay on his back, she curled against his side and rested her chin on his chest. "Are you worried?"
"About what kid?"
"About everything, all of this. Becoming parents, what the Angel's might do to us, what my mother might do, what my father might do."
"You think your father will show up?"
"I don't know, his Angel daughter is having a Demon's baby against the wishes of her Saier mother and dishonouring the wishes of her Eariea ancestors. If anything like this had ever happened before I might have some idea about what to expect." Her eyes flashed with worry but she masked it quickly. "We'll be OK wont we?"
"Of course we will. We have sixteen years, me, you, our baby, Lucy and Aaron. We will be safe in Purgatory and after that we'll work something out."
She smiled and kissed his again. "Love you." And with that she nestled closer against him and shut her eyes falling asleep almost immediately, in her sleeping state she did not feel the tendrils of worry escaping through the bond into her own mind as he fought desperately to hide it from her. Tomorrow they would leave this world for Purgatory and finally safety.
-
Eight months had passed. The four of them had settled into life in Purgatory and had all but forgotten the danger that waited in the other world, that night Lily and Lucy sat on the comfy sofa. Lily's hair was back to the warm chestnut brown curls that hung down her back and her face was glowing, they each held a cup of tea and Lily smiled at the look on the Elf's face.
"Come on, that's proper English tea. You can't beat it."
"I'm American. I'm a coffee gal," Lily tutted. "But I have to admit this is good."
