Drae rolled his eyes as Iva's voice echoed from the other side of the door, and chuckled softly as he turned and casually began strolling towards the creak as she peeked inside. Angela groaned, hoping to have avoided Iva's interruption, and Drae cast a smile back at her as she hid beneath the blankets. The warlock moved quickly and intercepted the now second youngest of their children, and playfully flung her and her stuffed bear over his shoulder before he carried her kicking and screaming out of the room. 

"Calm down, little Imp. You'll get a chance to see him," he promised her. "Just not right now. Mommy needs to rest, and so does Rohan," he told her as they entered the hall and the door closed behind them. He paused when he saw the army of toys and stuffed animals that stood waiting, and chuckled. 

"Planning a full on assault on the Master Bedroom, I see," he chuckled. He waved a hand over the animals and they stood up and began marching back to Iva's room, and Drae followed behind the army.

She chuckled softly as she thought about it. “I suppose that in a way it is ironic considering how we started out that they would become yours as well. No strings attached and here we are.” Angela snuggled into the bed as her eyes tried not to leave Rohan. “Alright, good luck with that. You’re gonna need it.”

–

Iva was ready! She had heard that Rohan was on his way, formally dubbed Moss. That meant one thing! She must prepare. She spent the hour that her mother was in hard labor lugging all of her stuffed animals, with Winston at the lead, to Angela’s door. They were like toy soldiers ready to defend. The clergy stepped over what she was doing and decided not to question her.

She put Winston right up to the door with her so they could hear. “I’m not staying out that’s stupid.” She decided to yell as she held Winston close now. “I wanna see Rohan.” She opened the door and peaked in.

Angela could be heard verbally groaning as she pulled the blanket over her head. Iva’s eyes dashed right to the bassinet. “I’ll be having that.” She started to make a b line right for the bassinet where her brother was.

"Yes, you are right. I've just been holding on to that fear for so long… I guess I didn't realize that they girls have very much become my children as well," he said as he wiped his eyes and settled back on the bed beside Angela and Rohan. He softly rubbed his son's head as his ever so familiar song filled the air around them. Drae's face lit up as Rohan sang and he chuckled softly despite the fact that the song did not last long. 

"You both deserve a good rest," Drae smiled as he leaned in and kissed Angela's forehead, and did the same to Rohan. "I'll keep Iva at bay until you both are ready," he said. "He is beautiful, just like his mother," he added as he got up and pulled the blanket up over Angela. He picked up Rohan and gently placed him in the basinett that stood beside the bed, so that Angela could sleep comfortably. "I'll check on you in a little bit," he said softly.

Angela’s tired eyes watched Drae as he hawked over their son. It made her chuckle as she remembered this was technically his first one. “You are funny love.” She had only ever seen Rohan, Iva’s father, jump like that. At least with the energy he had left. 

She watched the newborn fuss for a long time before his father was finally able to calm him down. It seemed like Drae had all the magic touch. She put her head on Drae’s shoulder and watched Rohan with his little peepers without saying anything at first. “He certainly is.” She chuckled a bit more. “I’m shocked at how not so big he is. I thought for certain he would have beaten Iva out for weight and length.” She took Rohan into her arms and leaned into the backboard of the bed.

She seen Drae with his tears and gave a smile. “You’ve been a father Drae. You’ve been a great father to the girls, just now you have Rohan too that’s all.” She tried to reassure him as she kissed Rohan’s head. She took in the fresh newborn scent and kissed his forehead once more. She nuzzled his face softly with her nose before Rohan’s song burst into the room. It was magical hearing it on the outside, but he was exhausted too and it did not last so long.

“He’s so tired love, I don’t know if he could survive Iva right now.” She said it almost sadly. “I don’t know if I could survive Iva right now.” She laughed as she sunk into the bed and held onto Rohan on her chest. “Gods we have a beautiful baby.”

Author: Porthyrius, Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2016 8:06 PM, Post Subject: First Moments[P/R]

Drae sat with Angela the entire ordeal, and he was incredibly grateful that she had as much pain tolerance and self restraint that she did, or he was pretty certain she could have taken his hand off. His anxiety level shot through the roof for the next hour while Angela delivered the baby, though he was there to support her every moment of it. When finally Rohan came into the world with a scream, Drae felt his heart skip a beat, and he all but jumped up off the bed and moved over to where the clergyman took the newborn to be cleaned. He couldn't help but chuckle when Angela made the comment about how Rohan should have just listened. He watched as his son was cleaned up while another member of the clergy finished making sure that Angela was fine, and gently took the tiny crying infant in his arms as he was bundled up into a soft blanket. 

Drae exhaled slowly as he held his son for the first time. The tiny being thrashed and cried for a moment before he slowly settled down in his arms. The half-elf was almost afraid that just by holding the tiny baby he might break him. He held Rohan to his his chest and cradled the infant before he walked over and sat down with Rohan upon the bed beside Angela, and showed her their sun. For the briefest moment, the baby opened his eyes and looked at his parents, and Drae could see the central heterochromia that was prevalent in Angela's family line. 

"He's so tiny…" Drae breathed as he looked at their son's fingers. A wave of tears threatened to overtake Drae in that moment and he handed Rohan off to his mother and quickly wiped his eyes. "I can't believe it… I am a father…"

Author: Angela Rose, Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2016 5:01 PM, Post Subject: First Moments[P/R]

Drae was losing it as much as she was. He told Rohan to get his tiny ass out of his mother, and she swore she could feel Rohan disobeying them. It must have been warm in there and comfortable, she supposed. “Here that you little shit get out here.” She might as well jump start the delivery, if only to give him a push. She could do that, he was technically ready.

It took an hour for Rohan to actually decide to make his entrance into the world. Even with his mother’s help the boy didn’t want to listen completely. With a full set of lungs on him Rohan screamed as soon as his lungs were clear to do so. Angela laid there with a glare on her face. “You should have listened.” She teased gently as the clergy members cleaned the baby up.

His head was full of Drae’s dark hair and it made her smile towards Drae. The boy’s voice began to quiet down as he was handed off to Drae. “You need to rest my lady. That was probably terribly exhausting.”

Angela laughed a bit. “It was more exhausting trying to get him to that point. I’m fine I promise.” They brought some food into the room for Angela and Drae, leaving the parents to enjoy their new baby. “I love him Drae.” She brought her hand over and moved some of the blanket he was wrapped up in, she could see her eyes peeking up at both Drae and herself. “He’s perfect.” She chuckled.

It took every ounce of Drae's self restraint to keep from pacing the floor with Angela. Between the contractions causing her pain, her water breaking, and Rohan refusing to cooperate, Angela was irrate and Drae was positively terrified. Terrifird, mostly, that there was something wrong with Rohan and that was why he was taking so long. He was slightly reassured though, especially since Angela would have known if something was wrong. 

Angela's look to him when the member of her clergy suggested she use her power to help Rohan along, he about laughed hysterically, from the anxiety.
"Don't look at me! I have absolutely no control here!" he laughed nervously. "If he's waiting for my invitation, then he needs to get his tiny ass going! Enough of this waiting game!"

Author: Angela Rose, Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2016 3:42 PM, Post Subject: First Moments[P/R]

Angela gave a sad smile. “I am not stranger to enemies. I have always known my children would have them because of me, that is why Iva and the others stayed here until they were strong enough to leave.” She reassured him. “Though I shouldn’t lock them up like prisoners, I don’t want to lose them.”

The goddess agreed with him that the clergy would not raise their child. “He has enough brothers, sisters, and aunts to raise him if we ever needed it. He will be loved by his family.. and I will try to be lenient with letting him out of the temple if he goes with them.”

The redhead put her hands onto her belly and smiled. “Someday, we’re going to take you out into the world and you will love all of the nature around you. That much I can promise you since nature runs deep in your blood.” She spoke to Rohan softly.

–
The rest of the time seemed to go by like a breeze. She spent time prepping for the birth of Rohan. She wanted him to come as naturally as possible without influence from her powers. She could feel her contractions and she began to pace the room back and forth. Her eyes were on Drae once in a while. “He’s testing my patience Drae and I have few left.” The words left her lips as she twitched at the pain once in a while. 

The clergy members were on stand by as the new prince slowly decided his day of birth. However, the goddess was testy and it could be seen as she snapped once in a while.  Her water had broke already but the baby was refusing to come. “Lady Angela, maybe it would be best to help him along?”

Angela shot a look at the clergy member before looking back at Drae. “Well? He can’t take all night Drae.” It had been a long time since she waited on a baby like that.

"A noble quest indeed, my love. But as long as you and I live, we will have enemies, and through us, he will have enemies," Drae sighed. "Opposition in all things. The more you push for the good, unfortunate as it is, more ill will rise as well. The best thing we can do it teach him and train him to face the world around him." 

Drae squeezed her hands. "Even if duties pull you away, and business calls me away, Rohan will still have siblings who will love and dote upon him even when we cannot. Belle and Fern are still here in the shrine, and I doubt that they will have much issue helping care for a new baby, and I know that Sapphire and Iva, Iva especially, will want to help. And who is to say that Holly or Ash might not object to looking after him every once in a while," Drae offered. "Our son won't be raised by clergy, that I can promise. He has family, more than enough, to take very good care of him when it becomes difficult, or even impossible for you and I to do it, though I don't think that will happen often," he reassured her. 

"Besides… if he has all of nature to look after him… then there is little that could stand a chance against him."

A soft smile came to her lips as she moved them to kiss his black hair. “Good, I wouldn’t have it any other way.” She was glad he was done running, that they could raise their rather large family. A laugh came from her lips as she tilted her head. “I don’t make it a habit to sneeze entire cultures out of existence but I will put it on my to-do list.” She teased him softly. “You will be able to protect him just fine. You are strong and you’ve done a great job protecting Iva, even when she ran off, you brought her home.”

A laugh left her lips. “You won’t have any free time if you do anymore.” She kissed his forehead and looked over the crib. She was excited to have the baby soon and now they had everything mostly set up. 

His words brought her comfort as she felt his lips against her knuckles. “I know, and I appreciate everything you do for us.” She put her forehead to his head and smiled. “I want you to still have time for yourself but I know that it might be stressful with the baby about. He will need us a lot and my duties might keep me away from him.” There was hurt in her voice. “But I want to make the world a better place for him. I want him to have allies. More allies than he has enemies.”

Drae sighed as Angela's hand found his as he gripped the mark on his upper arm. "No. No of course not," he replied softly. "I won't do that anymore. I am done running," he promised. He leaned his head back onto her as she rested her head on his shoulder. "I know… Love you can level a city with a sneeze if you wanted… with you I know I don't have to sorry about any sort of demon or whatever I may have on my back… but I am also afraid that I won't be able to protect them. Is it not a father's job to protect his children?" he asked softly. He shook his head, turned to face her. He smiled at her laughing. 

"I don't think he will be a mud golem out of the way that boys normally are," he chuckled. "But I do think that he and Iva will be inseparable. Even if we wanted to separate them, I don't think we could," he chuckled. "And when he finally gets here, I will devote my time to you, him, and Iva and the other girls far more than I have," he chuckled.  

He placed his hands on her face and caressed her. "And I'll be there with you every step of the way, no matter what my fears are. I can't let my fears get in the way here. Not when you need me. I can't falter. Not when I know that you, Rohan, Iva and the other girls need me," he promised. He took her hands and kissed her knuckles.

Angela put her hands onto her very pregnant belly and watched her love walk around. She could tell he was in pain and it was only getting worse. “You better not be thinking of leaving,” it was a sad tone that left her lips as she reached to touch his warlock mark as well. “I know what’s there. You are worried about the baby.” She put her head on his shoulder and watched him softly. “You know I’m capable of protecting him, you don’t have to worry about any demon…” She wanted to reassure him.

A laugh left her lips. “Hopefully we don’t end up with another little mud golem like Iva. I foresee the two of them getting into a lot of trouble together.” She took his hands gently and put them on her baby belly. “You know your son and I love you deeply. The girls love you too. He’ll be here in a short three months and then what will you do.”

Her eyes looked at him and craved that attention from him. “I need to tell you something. My domain has grown. I am not longer just Fertility but Life. My job is going to get more tough but I am going to raise this baby well damn it. I don’t care how many people come through those doors if Rohan needs me I will be there. We will be there and we will teach him how to survive in a cold world because we know it best.”

Drae walked into the nursery with Angela and felt his jaw fall open slightly. She had truly done fantastic work. He felt as though he had wandered into an enchanted forest of some sort. Rohan's crib looked to be made out of twisting vines and was truly of the finest craftsmanship. Drae moved up to the cradle and ran his hands over the the finely carved wood. It was all becoming so real, and he felt the twinges of fear deep in his gut, more so than before. He felt his hands begin to shake and he gripped the cradle tightly. 

"It's all so different now…" he said softly as he looked about the room, nearly forgetting that he was still in the shrine. He moved a hand to his arm, gripping the mark that marred him as a warlock. He didn't want to bring any sort of evil upon his children, and he knew that the pact he had made could put them at risk. 

He sighed and looked back at Angela. 
"Not only shall our boy be a bard…" he said softly. "But he will be one with places like this…" he mused softly. "He will move with the animals… he will be one with the woods and nature…"

Author: Angela Rose, Posted: Sun Aug 7, 2016 8:35 PM, Post Subject: First Moments[P/R]

Angela watched as Drae made her little girl happy. Even when Iva was trying to  not drift off into sleep it felt amazing. Iva had never had a father before Drae. It warmed the Goddess’s heart that he was so close to her.

Iva was out before the two left the room. Smiling and snuggling into Drae, Angela nodded. “It is heart warming to watch our child grow… Soon you will have to read to both of them. I hope she will always love your stories even when she is old enough to avoid them.” She spoke low as she moved one of his hands over the fussing child in her womb.

“I’ve been working on his nursery by us… Do you want to see what I have so far? I had a friend in Endopano make a crib for him.” She smirked as she avoided saying Rohan in Iva’s presence. She led Drae out of the room and took him down to the room by theirs. Opening the door, the night’s light filled the hallway. There was a forest of many colors, Rohan’s crib was in the back and there seemed to be walls you could no see in the room.

“This is what I have so far for our little bard. When Iva was little I had her crib in a room with the ocean. She slept so well with the waves.”

Author: Porthyrius, Posted: Sun Aug 7, 2016 8:22 PM, Post Subject: First Moments[P/R]

"Hmmmm… what would be a good story…" Drae said thinking out loud as he settled down on the bed beside Iva once she was all settled. He picked up a book of fairy tales he had found in Wyllmochvar for her and flipped through the colorfully illustrated pages before he picked one called "The Maiden from the Mirror." 

He proceeded to tell the story of a very lonely wizard who used a mirror to create a maiden  to keep him company, and the adventures the two of them had together, exploring dragon hordes, discovering ancient forgotten ruins, and in the end the two of them getting married and living happily ever after. When the story was over, he cuddled her for a moment, knowing that in no time she would be soundly off to dreamland, and he did hope that tonight the dreams would be pleasant for her. 

"I love you too, Iva," he said softly as he pressed a kiss to the top of her head as he pulled the covers up and tucked them snugly about her, and made sure that Winston was in the blankets with her. "Sleep well, little Imp," he whispered before he moved over to join Angela and turn the lamps low so that she would sleep. 

"Don't think I will ever get tired of this," he told Angela as he slipped his arm around her. 

Author: Angela Rose, Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2016 9:00 PM, Post Subject: First Moments[P/R]

Angela laughed a bit and kissed him. “No, you just have to put up with me getting fat.” She smirked.

The couple looked content as they listened to Rohan. It was how they were spending most of their nights anymore. They would lay in bed and listen to the little one inside of her belly. A soft smile crossed her face as she listened to the father speak to his son. She would have thought it was his first child but her mind always slipped back to Iva. Drae did a wonderful job raising Iva and even went through a lot to keep the girl happy. “Thank you for being a wonderful father Drae.” She whispered it to him as they walked out of their room, a soft kiss went to his cheek as the loving look stayed on her face.

“Not many people have been able to put up with her. I’m so happy you can understand her so well.” Angela understood how much story time meant to Drae. Rarely did she interrupt, if anything all she did was watch.

Iva smirked as they entered and did her bit with Rohan as usual. She was a bit excited over the movement but the amount of sleepy in her eyes made her look adorably ready for bed. “That’s not fair, no one else’s mommy is as scary as mine.” 

Ang made a face before laughing. “I’m only scary to those who deserve it.” She pat the young one’s head and sighed softly as she moved into the room and began to pick up after Iva.

Not wanting to fuss anymore over her mess getting cleaned up Iva put her arms up for Drae to take her to bed. “What are you going to read tonight?” She exclaimed happily as she kissed his cheek and held onto him. “I love you daddy.” She snuggled into him as she was tucked into bed. Angela put Winston next to her and tucked him in as well.

“Mommy can Winston get a nighttime cap?”

“If Iva is good and goes to sleep like we ask… I’ll have one in the morning.” She pat the child’s head once more.

Author: Porthyrius, Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2016 8:49 PM, Post Subject: First Moments[P/R]

Drae sighed in relief. "Oh good. I was really dreading the inevitable midnight trip into Ataiyo because you were craving some sort of exotic dish," he said with a chuckle. 

He sighed deeply as Angela ran her fingers through his hair and he looked up at her lovingly. He chuckled again when she said she wanted Rohan to arrive healthily and safely, and then made the comment about him listening. "For both our sakes!" the warlock added with a wily grin before he kissed her back. 

"I know. You hear that kiddo? IF you want me to stay and keep you and Mommy warm at night, it means no funny business from you!" Drae said in a mock stern voice as he pointed at Angela's belly with one had on his waist in a very fatherly fashion. 

Drae slipped his hand into Angela's as they walked out of the bedroom and headed down to Iva's room. "She should be getting ready for bed right about now I think," he said softly as they approached their current youngest's room. "This will be perfect. We can do story time all at once." 

There was something satisfying to Drae about putting Iva to bed. It was one of his favorite rituals, not because it meant that Iva would be asleep, but because it was a time when he really got to bond with her. Drae looked on serenely as Iva noticed as they came in and patted her head affectionately as she pressed her face into Angela's belly. As if on cue, Rohan kicked at the pressure that was her face. Drae had to chuckle heartily at Iva's response. It was exactly what he had hoped it would be. 

He shook his head and rubbed Iva's head. 
"I hate to break it to you darling, but even if you are the big sister, little boys very rarely listen to ANYONE but Mommy," he said with a laugh as he picked her up. "Are you ready for bed, Little Imp?"

Author: Angela Rose, Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2016 7:56 PM, Post Subject: First Moments[P/R]

Angela laughed and nodded. “I have never heard you beg but during rather intense bedroom moments.” She flicked underneath his chin and smiled. After her loving flail she stopped to give him another loving looks. Her eyes were excited. “Need you to go pick them? I can spawn them and even make the Durian fruit I so love NOT stink. Have you ever actually smelled a real one?” She stuck her tonuge out in disgust. “Taste heavenly but they smell fetid.”

After they were dressed Angela ran her fingers through Drae’s hair as he kissed on her belly. “I know, it doesn’t seem like we only have four months left! I just want him to be super healthy and come out safe.” She pat her belly as if giving an order. “Hopefully, he listens to that.” She chuckled and kissed Drae’s lips softly.

“You might be able to sleep if you stay away from me,” Angela pouted at him softly. “But you wouldn’t do that to Roh and I would you? We would get so cold if you moved away from us.” She scouted closer to him and laughed as she wrapped herself around him the best she could. “It is wonderful when we aren’t sleeping.”

Angela groaned a bit. “It’s not too loud but I think he uses magic so we can hear him out here.” The goddess nodded and laughed. “Let’s go tell Iva, she’s so excited about everything already.” Taking Drae out into the hallway, they found their way to Iva’s room. Opening the door she found the girl changing into her nightgown. Iva was putting up her red hair now as she seen her parents.

“Daddy! Mommy! You are here.” She ran over and put her face into her mother’s belly. She felt a kick and stared at the belly. “Mommy, ROHAN KICKED MY FACE!” She laughed a bit and tapped lightly. “You can’t do that I’m the big sister you have to listen to me.”

Author: Porthyrius, Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2016 7:34 PM, Post Subject: First Moments[P/R]

"I didn't beg. I would never stoop to such things. The boy clearly just wants to please his father!" Drae laughed. He chuckled as Angela flailed around, pretending to reach for him and acting like she couldn't. The warlock chuckled more and grabbed her hands, kissing each finger. "I know. It's like he KNOWS he's being an inconvenience. At least he hasn't made you crave strange foods," he grinned. "Or should I be expecting pleas to go to exotic places to acquire foods we can't find here?" he asked, more to the child in Angela's womb than to her. 

Drae chuckled and followed Angela out of the spring and proceeded to dress himself. "I know, love. In a few short weeks he will be here…" he said softly as he caressed her belly. He pressed a kiss to his love's baby bump and stood back up. "Good grief, if he keeps that up all night, none of us will sleep. I thought it was hard to sleep when he was singing!" he laughed. He looked thoughtful. 

"With how much he was singing, I wouldn't be surprised. Inside of you it must be so loud that he is probably practically screaming to be heard," he laughed. "But now, maybe he'll do both. Iva sure likes to hear him singing, let's see how excited she'll be to feel him kick!"

Author: Angela Rose, Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2016 7:07 PM, Post Subject: First Moments[P/R]

Angela could tell that Drae was highly amused by her as she yelled at their little one. “He is defying his mother! He waited for you to come home and practically beg him to move.” She held onto her belly. “I give you a home and food and this is how you repay me.” She teased her little one as she laughed with Drae. “I cannot even begin to understand him. He is wonderful.”

With both parents excited, they waited in awe. Sure enough as if Drae’s words worked like magic Rohan kicked in his direction. It was sort of forceful but like Rohan knew what his parents wanted. Angela was gleeful. “You are a terrible little monster.” She whispered softly as she hugged Drae now. She found herself far away from him and she sighed. “Though, as he grows I can’t quite get to you.” She flailed her arms in a silly manner as she laughed.

“I can’t wait for him to get here.” Angela took a moment to get herself out of the water. “Sorry, but all this water makes me.. well you know.” She chuckled at him and took care of business before getting dressed. “He is growing so fast Drae! I can’t believe how big he’s  gotten and strong.” Once Drae was out of the water she put his hands back to her belly. “Hopefully he doesn’t do this at night.” Their baby seemed a lot more active after he had been willed awake.

“Do you think he was using all that energy for singing instead of moving?”

Author: Porthyrius, Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2016 6:35 PM, Post Subject: First Moments[P/R]

At first Drae couldn't be sure if the movement he felt from Angela's belly wasn't just her stomach rumbling for food, but when she called attention to the movement, he looked down at her belly in surprise, and almost instinctively placed his hands where hers were not. Sure enough, a moment or two later the movement happened again, and though it wasn't much, it was enough for Drae's eyes to mirror Angela's and get wide with excitement. He beamed at the Goddess as she made her exclamations and he couldn't help but begin laughing heartily at how up in arms she was getting over it, especially when she cussed out the unborn child… or was it DRAE she was really cussing out?

He didn't care. For the first time, he had felt his child moving within Angela's womb, and he couldn't help but feel overwhelming joy. 

He looked back at Angela and replied with a huge grin. "I don't know, but I will sure try!" he laughed and leaned a little closer to her belly, his hand still in place. 

"I felt that little prince. Are you just going to keep singing us songs, or do you want to show Daddy how strong you are?"

Author: Angela Rose, Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2016 6:22 PM, Post Subject: First Moments[P/R]

Angela found herself in a happy dream world for once. It had been this way since she got pregnant with Rohan and for once she was glad to dream. She knew she was lulling off a bit too much for one of the resident Triune but she was certain that her fellow members could excuse her if only for a few months more.

It was an hour or two later that Drae finally woke her up. She reached a wet hand up and rubbed her eyes. A large yawn left her lips as she stared up at him with half dozed eyes. “Only for a bit… Way too tired to crawl into bed once I hit the water.” She chuckled softly as her hands went to his. “No, he is content on just making noise instead of acrobatics. We really do have an odd one.” 

She moved if only to lay on him. She felt her fingertips pruning and sighed a bit more. “I hate to see my feet at this point.” She chuckled. “No idea how long I’ve been in here?” She questioned Drae as if he knew her every moment. She knew for certain he did not but at least she had someone to ask. As if on cue Angela felt something strange in her belly. At first she thought maybe she was hungry, that was happening a lot more as the time went one, but it wasn’t that. “Did you feel something?”

It was a bit after that when the second shock wave in her belly hit. It wasn’t a massive one but enough that Angela’s eyes got wide. “That little shit! All these weeks we’ve been waiting and all you had to do was give a command?!” The goddess was in an uproar for a moment before she started laughing. “I’m going to give myself a sickness if I don’t stop getting all upset. I can’t believe you Rohan.” Angela fussed over their little one before smiling up at Drae. “Think you can make him do it again?”

Author: Porthyrius, Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2016 6:13 PM, Post Subject: First Moments[P/R]

Drae stepped through the rose gate that was found in Wyllmochvar and was instantly transported to the Shrine of the Mother. His satchel was full of arcane equipment. It was high time he decided, that he was going to turn one of the empty rooms at the Shrine into his personal workroom, that way he didn't have to be away from Iva and Angela for long, especially now where Angela was getting much further on in her pregnancy. While the baby had yet to kick yet, Drae was counting down the weeks until his son would arrive. 

The warlock carried the heavy satchel into the master bedroom where he was sure that Angela would be relaxing, and quietly pushed the door open. The sound of rippling water reached his half-elf ears and he guess that Angela had to be in the spring. With a contented sigh, he pushed into the room and set his satchel down on the ground before pushing the door closed again. He could see the top of Angela's head, her bright red curls wound into a bun on top, and from the even sound of her breathing, Drae guessed she must have dozed off. Quietly he got undressed before he went over to the spring and slid into the water next to Angela. He gently moved up close to her and took her hands into his and pressed kisses to them to wake her up. 

"What? Too tired to crawl into bed?" he asked her gently as he leaned over to kiss her forehead, a hand falling to her swollen belly. "How is our little prince today? Still not moving?"

Times were moving rather fast for the goddess, it always felt that way when she was carrying. Her hands were pressed against the baby belly she protected so dearly. She felt wrong having to fight while he was there. She felt wrong having to do anything remotely bad while he was there, as if he would witness it. It was one thing she didn’t want her children to know about until they were old enough to understand. Iva was her exception but rules were meant to be broken.

She relaxed in the hot spring that was housed in her bedroom while she waited for Drae to get home. It was suppose to be a short business trip he said. Just out to the mage city and back. She didn’t ask the details but she trusted him. Her eyes weighed heavy as she sank further down into the waters. Rohan’s music filled the small room and a smile came across the goddess’s lips. “You are everything but active.”

Her hands protected the large belly as she began to drift off to sleep in the waters. Her energy was more focused on other things at the moment to remotely care about how or where she slept. Her red curls were pulled up into a messy bun and a balled up robe was behind her head as a pillow. She felt too lazy to even climb into bed. “Maybe Daddy will be home soon.” She yawned as she whispered to Rohan. He was tired too, she didn’t know how he was but she could feel it.
