Chapter 250: Good news

Nyx stared at the glass containing an egg, and her urine. She was pregnant! She really was pregnant! Her heart raced as she was short of words. A bubbling feeling erupted in her stomach, "I am pregnant," she placed a hand over her mouth.

Quickly discarding the egg, she ran to meet Oberon who was sitting on the bed.

"Oberon! I am pregnant!" She jumped on him as soon as he came in sight.

He was able to catch her before she could land on him, "What? Pregnant?"

She nodded, "I am pregnant!" She announced, her face beaming with joy.

He stiffened, slowly putting her down, he swallowed hard. It seemed like he was trying to process what he had just heard.

The smile on Nyx’s face disappeared, "What? Are you okay? You do not look happy."

"Happy?" He turned to look at her, "Of course I am happy, I am just.." he paused, taking a second to suck in breath, "I am overwhelmed. This is the first time, I have heard you say that to me."

"So.."

"It feels amazing," there was a bitter smile on his face, "It feels wonderful."

Nyx didn’t know how to react to his words, "Well, I am pregnant, you are going to father a second child," she held his hands.

"Yes, of course. This is beautiful," his eyes were a mixture of emotions, joy, worry, uncertainty.

He pulled her into a hug, "Nyx, you make me so much more than I am," he almost cried in her arms, "I love you."

"You deserve it."

He pulled back, his eyes darkening, "What if i make things go wrong? I do not want to mess this up," he sighed deeply.

"You are already a wonderful father to Archi, I know you will double your efforts for this little one," her hand touched her stomach.

He let his eyes fall on her stomach, "Wow," he chuckled, "Can I feel it?"

"Of course," she let him feel her tummy, "I do not feel anything," a deep frown settled on his face, "Has is not started growing?"

She burst out laughing, "I just found out today, of course it is growing," her face beamed.

"Why can I not feel it then?" He asked, his voice full of worry.

"It has not started moving yet, it is not up to that stage, do not worry so much."

He leaned forward, kissing her tummy, "I promise to take good care of you, very good care of you," he patted her tummy.

"Just do not make the mistake of spoiling him," she smirked.

"Him?" He arched his brow, "I already have a son, I want a daughter just like you."

She giggled, the corners of her mouth rising, "As you wish."

"Archi needs to know he has a sibling coming into this world," he told her.

She climbed into her bed, "He can always come here to see me," she tucked herself in the sheets.

He nodded, "I will go tell him then," he got to his feet, "I will be right back," he flashed a hearty grin before leaving the room.

"Finally, the perfect family I have always dreamed of," she brought out her hands, placing it on her tummy, "Dreams do come true," she closed her eyes, her heart fluttering.

Some minutes later, the door burst open jolting her awake. She placed a hand on her chest, "Why did you do that?" She gasped.

Archi rushed to her side, "Mother are you really pregnant?"

"Would I lie to you about pregnancy now?" He heard Oberon’s voice behind him.

"You do make dry old jokes all the time," he replied.

Nyx laughed, while Oberon scowled at him, "Hmph!"

"Yes, I am pregnant," her cheeks flushed, "You are finally having another sibling!"

His eyes widened, "Wow," he wiped the corner of his eyes, "This is wonderful! A younger sibling!"

She nodded, "Yes, a younger sibling."

Oberon came to stand beside him on the bed, "We are complete," he grinned.

Archi wiped his eyes again, "I can not believe this."

Nyx pouted while trying to hold in her laughter, "Are you crying?" She tried to stifled her laughter.

"No, I am just overwhelmed," he palmed his face "Just like I was," his father chipped in.

"The both of you!" She couldnt stifle her laughter anymore, "You are both behaving like you were kids hearing the news for the first time."

"You are just a blessing in our lives, of course we would be overwhelmed by such news," Oberon smiled at her.

"He is right. What would we do without you?" Archi added.

She felt as if her heart was going to burst open with joy, "You both are my everything," Tears sprang to her eyes.

"Plus the unborn pup, do not forget her too."

"Ugh!" Nyx hit his hand, "What is with you already?" She scowled, earning a snicker from Oberon.

"This day deserves to be honored," Archi got to his feet.

"What are you going to do?" Oberon inquired

"Throw a feast? Please do not do that, I really do not want that right now."

"Not a feast. A work free day. Everyone should be at rest, and maybe I would share some sweets," he sauntered out of the room.

Oberon, and Nyx exchanged glances, "Oh well."

"I want some fruits," she battered her eyelids.

"Of course, let me go get some."

Nyx rested her head against the headboard, "Please do not barge in when you are coming back."

"Of course," he ruffled her hair, heading quickly out of the room.

...

Soon, he returned with a bowl of assorted fruits, "Here you go," he set it on the table beside her.

"I can not feel my hands," she pouted, "Feed me."

He looked amused, "Since when did this start?"

"Right now. The baby demands you feed or else.." she paused thinking of something to say.

"Or else what?" He snuggled up beside her, taking the bowl of fruits in his hands.

He reached his hand out, and she leaned forward to take a bite of the strawberry in his hand, he plopped the rest into his mouth.

"Hey," she tried to protest still chewing the piece of strawberry in her mouth, "I was not done with that," she pouted, giving him puppy eyes.

He shrugged his shoulders, "I deserve to be healthy too?"

"Right now, these fruits are mine, stop being so greedy for a pregnant woman’s bowl of fruits!" She tugged at his nose.

He took a slice of watermelon, pushing it into her mouth, "Eat up pregnant woman," he snickered.

She chewed on the watermelon, humming in pleasure, "This is so nice," she swallowed.

"Want grapes?"

"Yes please," she opened her mouth wide. He slipped in some grapes into her mouth, "There."

She munched on the grapes, her eyes twitching.

"Is it sour?"

She shook her head, "Hmm, no," she said, her mouth still full of grapes.

He allowed her to swallow those grapes in her mouth, before feeding her another.

"I want to make sure you are fed well before the baby is delivered. I want her to be delivered fresh, and healthy."

She nodded, "She will be."

Oberon fed her more fruits till she didn’t want any.

"I want a warm bath," she hugged herself.

"This is just the first day, you are already so demanding," he slightly tapped her head, "What will happen by the time it reaches the seventh full moon?’

She giggled, her laughter reaching her eyes, "I am only teaching you on how to take care of me, I am preparing you for what lies ahead."

He nodded, "Do you want me to call your personal maids, or I should bathe you myself?" His eyes glinted with mischief.

"I know I will not be able to deal with you bathing me," she did little kicks with her feet, "Yvonne, and Gladys will be of great help."

"Hmph! Choosing them over me," he grudgingly left the bed, walking towards the door.

"No, I know how naughty you can be. I do not want to get stimulated today," she stretched, flashing him a knowing smile.

He rolled his eyes, then walked out.

"Hehe," she got down from the bed, slipping out of her clothes, she headed to her closet to get her bathroom robe.

Putting it on, she sighed deeply, "This is going to be a long nine full moons," she massaged her temples, waiting for Gladys and Yvonne to appear.

Soon enough, they did.

"My lady we heard the news, congratulations!" Gladys grinned, rushing to hug her.

Nyx snuggled in her bosom, "Thank you Gladys."

"Congratulations my lady," Yvonne added, "I am happy for you," she bowed.

"Thank you too, Yvonne."

"We should go prepare her bath, Yvonne," Gladys nudged her arm. They both walked into the bathroom, with Nyx following behind.

They helped her prepare her warm bath for the afternoon.

...

"I have always dreamed of the day I would take care of you when you are pregnant, that day has finally come!" Gladys exclaimed as she combed her hair.

"I am happy your dream came true," Nyx’s cheeks flushed.

Yvonne was quietly sorting out her dresses.

"You do not have to stress yourself over anything, my Lady. Anything you ask for will be provided, just make sure you call for us alright?" Gladys told her.

Nyx felt so loved. Every so often she wished Gladys were her biological mother.

"I really appreciate what you are doing to me Gladys," Nyx sniffled, "It is so kind of you."

"Who else will do all these if not me?" She packed her hair in a neat bun

Yvonne came forward with one of her dresses, "My lady."

Nyx slipped out of her towel, putting on the dress.

"You both are so close to me, why do you still refer to me as your lady?"

"You are of a higher status than we are. We have to give you that respect.

She shook her head, "You are more of family than maids. You can always refer to me with my first name."

"But.. my lady.."

"Nyx narrowed her eyes, "I am being serious. It is Nyx to the both of you, okay?" She adjusted her dress properly.

"Yes, Nyx," they both said in unison.

"Alright then. I want to be left alone, could you please tell Oberon that I am waiting for him?"

"I am already here."

Yvonne, and Gladys bowed, "Good day your highness."

"Good day," he waved, dismissing them. They quickly left the room, closing the door behind them.

"Missed me already?" He closed the distance between them, snaking his hand around her small back.

She shuddered, "Yes," her cheeks burned.

He swept her off her feet carrying her in bridal style to the bed, "Let us get you comfortable."

He tucked her under the sheets, joining her as well. Nyx snuggled up close behind him.

"I love you," she whispered.

His eyes softened, "I love you more," he whispered back, kissing her hair.

"I am sleepy," she mumbled.

"Have some rest then," he kissed her on the cheek, "I will be right here waiting for you."

She mumbled some incoherent words, then fell asleep.

He watched her sleep, and his heart felt at peace. This is what he always wanted, to be with his mate lovingly. Everything was complete now, there was nothing more he could ask for.

He rested his head against the headboard, "Now if I ever were to die soon, I would die with a smile on my face," tears sprang to his eyes, but he didn’t wipe them off.

In these past years, he had learnt lessons, and he would make sure he passed it on to his unborn pup.

He closed his eyes, "Everything is complete."
