For the first time since she realized what was happening she felt calm. Relaxed. A weight had lifted from her slender shoulders. Looking at him now, kneeling at her feet, Selene let the tears fall down her cheeks.
He was happy. The part that made her heart swell almost painfully was knowing that she had something to do with his happiness. That the child growing within her body pleased him.
Letting her body slip through his hands she kneeled down in front of him on the deck of the ship. Her naked chest pressed tightly against his, arms looping around his neck. “I am scared.” She confessed, her bashful eyes on his.
