Sarah felt so bloated.

All the stretch marks on her belly. All the fats on her thighs and love handles. She kept staring at her reflection. Wondrous at the growing life in her and disgusted at the sight of her body.

Her humongous breasts were falling off from her top that seemed too tight on her now. But she brought it one week back!

Her clothes weren't fitting.

Nine months pregnant and still going strong . It took nine months to watch herself going from a girl to a woman. Nine months for her to rediscover  herself . .to feel that her favorite cheese cake didn't seem so delicious now , in fact it gave her nausea. All of her wishes and wants were now changing. The little man inside her was ruling her body and her food. . .she didn't notice the door opening and a tall frame entering the room.

As his eyes fell on her trance like state , he stopped right there. Stopped and looked. . .just looked. Marvelling at the woman that was standing in front of the mirror. .an overwhelming feeling that threatening to drown him filled up his heart . .a love so powerful it left him breathless.

The woman was his.

The child was his .

This was his entire world. That woman was his world and now she was carrying a whole new world in her.

Smiling slightly, he moved stealthily. . So stealthily she didn't know he was in the room with her. Didn't know he was around. .

She got to know when suddenly his hands cupped her belly from behind. And she saw his reflection in the mirror. . his grinning face tucked on her shoulder.

The both of them looking at each other's reflection.

"You look beautiful. No woman in this world can ever posses your beauty. " He said softly. . kissing the side of her head tenderly.

She placed her hands on top of his.

"You're lying. I look fat and . .fat." she said glumly.

Damien stepped back and then took hold of her arm . .gently turning her towards him. .the space between them so small. .her belly pushed against him.

Bumping against him.

He reached out and cupped her face. .she leaned in eagerly in to his hand.

"You're going to give birth to a life, love. Someone who belongs to the both of us . .who carries our equal parts. You know what you're in my eyes? A superwoman. A wonder woman. A batwoman. An iron woman. " He said softly. . leaning in . . kissing her forehead.

She closed her eyes savouring his touch.

Sarah's arms went around him in a loose hug. Well she couldn't hug properly considering  the state she was in.

It was an awkward angle.

"Thank you. And I know. .I know I shouldn't have any doubts over anything but . .I'm struggling to accept myself . .my body—and I can't help but think do you still find me desirable? in this state? My stretch marks . .my thighs. .my disheveled appearance—"

She stopped when he took one of her hand and placed it right on the front of his pants.

Her heart leaped at the obvious bulge in his pants.

"Will it be too much for you if I say I want to make love to you over and over again? Make a child over and over again just to see you in this state? Just the sight of seeing my child in your belly is enough to arouse me." His voice had turned husky, his hand pressing her hand on top of his pants. " If it weren't for me caring about the distraught you're in. .I would have you every minute of the day , Sarah. Until . . until you forget about everything but my name."

His voice turned from husky to possessive. .

Damien lifted her hand off his pants and placed it on his chest . .on his beating heart. .

Sarah was still grappling with what just happened and what he said. .the blush on her cheeks overflowing. The glow on her face blinding . The gleam in her eyes taking over his heart.

"Will there ever be a day where I get to tell you how much I love you Damien? " She smiled at the smirk on his handsome face.

"You obviously do." His humorous eyes went down to her belly.

And her gaze flickered down lovingly. .she had never experienced such selfless love . .not even for her husband. The life in her was making her feel so protective and so possessive.

She could kill for him.

The wedding had been a rushed affair . She didn't recall what and why happened. All she could remember was sleeping at back of the grand limo. .with her white dress. .tulle and lace .

And Damien had watched over her .

Always fussing over her.

Darsana had been nothing but kind to her and she had even joked about how she tried to play the  evil witch of her brother's love life.

"But why did you do that? Why did you lie to me?" Sarah had asked.

And the beautiful woman had smiled .

"He's my only family. My only living blood . And I know he wouldn't understand but as his sister. .as his guardian I had to be sure . .I had to be sure for the both of you, my divine Sarah. My intention was never ill ." Her blue eyes had silently begged her to understand her and Sarah had.

In some twisted way , she could get what Darsana wanted. What her intention was.

There was one person more happy for them then his sister.

And that was Elliot.

He glowered with happiness and Sarah was afraid if she asked him to bring down the moon , he would have done that without batting an eye.

For seeing Damien settle down and finally get what he deserved had been the best kick of his life.

Sarah had laughed about all the vampires rituals she had read in books. And Damien had rolled his eyes when she asked him if indeed she had to drink his blood to be his bride?

Or worse transform into a vampire?

"I know all the fucked up books humans have written but really . .it comes down to such basic thing. If you love someone. .why the hell would you want to change anything about them? Isn't love all about accepting the other person as she is? It's . .the thought of changing you is—i don't know . .an insult to me? "

Two weeks into marriage and she had gotten pregnant . Anxious and excited and so many other things. .she had asked him if the baby would be a human or a vampire?

Damien had stared at her and then laughed out loud.

"What do you think?" He had asked , smirking.

"I. .a mix of both?" She said hesitant.

"Correct . A human with enhanced senses. That's about it. "

But her baby had been so . . thoughtful of his mother.

He didn't kick if she was sleeping. He responded to her voice when she would talk to him, sing to him. Call him. Or when she cuddled her belly.

Some nights she would dream of him. .a beautiful baby with bright blue eyes like his father. .a rosebud of a mouth. .a laugh that made her heart soar.

It was still so. . unbelievable. The journey of being a mother.

He snapped his fingers .

Startled, she got back to reality.

He loosened up his tie and then with one hand, he pulled her close to his body.

Hugging her ever so slightly. So gently.

Her belly not allowing her to get close.

As she heard his beating wild heart Sarah vowed . .vowed that once the baby was out, she was going to get all the pending hugs from her husband.
