Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alex sighed as he glanced down and shook his head pulling the rope to make sure the door would at least stay attached to the building. Sure most of the windows were falling off and the place was a complete mess with barely anything left since the fire but at least he was alive with a couple burns and scars but nothing bad right. Alex sighed as he sat down on the steps watching the people walk past him

He looked at her with shock. "Steph are you...?" gently placing a hand upon her flat stomach he kissed her lips. "Wow..I guess this means we're married now. All our hard work paid off." he said happily.

"Now I'm excited! That's it I'm making you breakfast this morning!" letting go of his love he got up and ran into the kitchen. She could hear him singing and comically banging his knee into one of the appliences.

He knew how to cook a little, but it wasn't as special as hers. Making pancakes he had made a lot of them and was happily cooking away. Damien was going to be a father! Oh this was wonderful news!

Just in time, as a plate full of waffles, covered in syrup and butter appeared before her. "Oh wait! I forgot that you've been feeling sick! I-I'm sorry honey! If you can't eat this I could make you something else.." he said gently placing his hands on her belly.

"12 weeks...wow well I'm glad we found out now. It would have been a bit more obvious around week 20 or so." he said kissing her cheek. "I love you. Not because you're bearing my child, but I just love you. I hope it's a little girl, that way she can help Mommy in the kitchen when she's older." he cooed to her lovingly.

"I-I'm sorry Steph." he said removing his hands and then began to massage her shoulders. "I'm just so excited. But you'll have to at least let me give you a couple belly massages when you're further along alright? I promise I'll be very gentle..were you hurt?" he asked with concern.

No matter the reason he would respect her space. Taking a seat next to her he smiled at her lovingly allowing his wife to eat quietly. "Hmmm...this table's getting a little wobbly. I'll have to fix that!" he said to her as he was now under the table. A little carpentry would allow her to be in peace.

"Well how about this then, you tell me when you want me to rub your belly. I won't touch it, or try to unless it's ok by you." he said crawling out from under the table. "I just want to make sure you're happy and safe. That's all, yet if there is something uncomfortable I'm doing or saying please come to me and talk with me."

Standing he dusted himself off. "We're a married couple now, no secrets alright? I trust and love you and I know you'll do the right thing when you need to. It could also be your motherly instinct kicking in to protect the life within you." he smiled happily.

"It's fine I understand." he smiled giving her a kiss. Relaxing in one of the chairs, eating some food too, he wondered what their child was going to look like. After breakfast though he would be a bit busy. After all Damien had taken a few orders so he would be wood crafting most of the day. Heck he was pretty busy so the most time the two got to spend with each other was morning and evening.

If 12 weeks had flown by, then her pregnancy would probably would go un-noticed by him until she was starting to show more. It's just how he was, he focused on his work.

"How can I be pregnant. I thought that we took the precautions to keep me from getting pregnant until we were ready." Maya placed a hand on her swollen abdomen. "How long have I been like this and shouldn't I go see a doctor to be sure that I really am?"
