[M] Until Silence Is Broken

He smiled as he moved his hand. She seemed to be slowly opening up more to him. From the way she turned over to look at him to how she moved him to touch their child. He was slowly getting on her better side at least. He gently reached down and kissed her lips ever so softly. "Good... That makes me happy to know I am in your dreams," he said and kissed her again. He smiled as he pressed his forehead against hers softly, having bent his body to do so. His hair fanning out across his face.

"I dream of you as well... Of all the possibilities that await us. I just hope they will all be as good as this moment," he said as he nuzzled into her enjoying the moment. "I like this moment... I want to live in it and stretch it out for as long as I can." He smiled as he held her close to him enjoying the moment.

Lia arched her back up a bit so she could meet his kisses. She was so happy like this. She chuckled a bit at his nuzzles but returned the gesture with her own. He was right. She didn't want to leave this moment anymore than he did. After all the sweet moments they had, something always awaited to break it up. Normally that was his role as a Lord. As much as she wished it didn't interfere, she couldn't do anything about it. He was her's and she needed to get used to it. At least for now there didn't seem to be anyhing too pressing to tear him away from her this morning.

"Everything is better when we're together," she softly purred as she leaned up to kiss him once more before resting her forehead against his again. "Can we stay here? In this moment forever?" They were happy. He showed her more affection now than they had shared in awhile. Could they just live in this moment forever? "Stay with me Razzie...don't leave today."

"I'll take today off for you okay," he said as he looked at her smiling softly. It was the best he could offer but it was better then nothing. He was trying to make up for earlier. He wanted everything to be okay again. He gently kissed her again and begun to hold her closer to him trying to comfort him. He wanted to keep her safe for as long as she'd let him. "So what do you want to do today then?"

Since she was asking for this day, then he'd let her pick what she wanted to do. He'd let her decide what they should do together. He smiled at her tempting her to try come up with something for them.

A huge, goofy grin swiped over the demoness's face. She wasn't sure if he would actually take a day off considering how often he referred to having to be there for the kingdom, but he did it. He was taking the day off for her. Lia reverted to her rag doll like stance to let him move her around at will. She always let him before and never fought him about it. Normally, Razor always chose a position she was more than willing to be in. This time, it meant more cuddles.

"I want to stay with you," she replied innocently as if he weren't asking her to choose. Lia nuzzled herself back into him, pressing up against his body for comfort. Another place she loved to be in; in his arms. If only he would keep like this with her forever. She nuzzled her head under his chin as she gave a soft purr. "Well... if we have to do something... How about we go on a date? Walk around, maybe visit the shrine? Or... we could try to plan what we want to do for our child." She planted gentle kisses along his jawline in-between suggestions. They would have to discuss how they were going to raise their kid but it could hold off until they had a little alone time to mend things. She just gave him the option if he wanted it.

"I don't care what we do. I only want to spend today with you."

"Before we start getting ahead of ourselves with the child, let's wait until the healers can tell us if it is a boy or a girl," he told her. "I want to make sure the room is fit for them and I don't exactly do neutral..." He started to think of all the designs they could do as she spoke. She had a lot of good suggestions for places to go. She honestly did, but he wasn't sure what he'd want to do really. The festival had been amazing and he almost wished they could relive that day.

He thought for a moment longer, and then smiled a bit. "I have an idea... How about instead we plan a garden? It'll be your own place... It'll be in one of the spare rooms no one uses. It'll even have a place in there for you to read in or you can just go in there for peace... A promise I'll always be here for you." He smiled liking this idea as he kissed her again.

She chuckled a bit to herself. It seemed like he really did care about their child even if it was pretty early. Maybe it was his way of coping with the news still, but she took what she could get. She wanted to know too, but there was still a lot to do. The last thing she wanted was to be stressing because things weren't done in time when she was the size of a whale. "Okay fine.. but I do want to know where we'll keep a nursery and if we're sharing a bed again or not." They used to before their latest quarrel except it was always in her room. The only time he brought her to his was for sex.. so would try to to emulate a mated pair or remain to two separate rooms? She wanted to know more so for herself than for how it would relate to their child.

Lia cocked her head to the side a bit at his proposal. It seemed so tame and yet.. it was for her. A room dedicated just for her to use that wasn't a bedroom. A smile appeared once more as she gave him a kiss. "That sounds wonderful. A garden it is then." She kissed him again as she started thinking about ideas for the garden. A symbol that he wouldn't leave. She already liked it.

"The baby will have his or her own room upon the announcement of the gender. It will have caretakers," he told her. "Being royal has a lot of perks that allow us to not be tied down so much by things such as every minor thing. We have people that help us with that so we can run a nation." Lia wouldn't be tied down by the baby. She can still have a life and be free and enjoy every moment... She just had to try and to trust him. He brought her hands up to his lips and kissed them softly.

His amber eyes warm. "Go take a bathe... I'll get some clothes brought up for you... I will start working on getting your garden in order while you relax and I'll have someone escort you to me."

"But I still want to spend time with them. We don't need a caretaker for every little moment dear," she replied as she watched him. We was trying to show her it wasn't too burdening to have the child, but she wanted this. She wanted to spend every moment she could with their baby. She already missed her first child's life. Now, she wouldn't leave this one. Even the little things would be precious. Still, she couldn't help notice he saidwe. They could run a nation together. Not him, them. Together. The very thought brought color to her cheeks. He was trying to keep her in his life. It was beyond just the child, but as a mate. The notion rendered the demoness speechless for a moment. The only thing she could say was, "Okay," in a faint whisper. Her eyes glowed with adoration as she looked at him for a moment before she leaned up to give him a kiss.

"Don't miss me too much." She teased before giving him another kiss before climbing out of the bed to go towards the bathroom. She glanced back to give a flirtatious look before disappearing into the other room.

Razor looked at her as she left watching with warm eyes. Smiling, he got up and left the room going down the hall and picking out a massive empty room. It use to be a room for someone... Someone important. Someone he had once cared for, but now it was empty. They had disappeared years ago and never had he seen them again. He could also still smell them here... At least he thought he could. It was all in his head. He could hear her child like laughter, his and for a moment he could see his five year old self coming into the room asking her to play with him... And then it stopped. He smelled the earth and the empty room. The loudness that was the silence that filled the air. The doors kept the room quiet. He'd have to remove them... make it an open room.

He had sent a servant that came with him to get the things for Lia as he set to work making the floor more fit for a garden then what it had been before. He sighed softly as he did so. This place had so many memories of his childhood. He hoped it'd be precious for her as it had been him.

From inside the Lord's bathroom laid the girl soaking in the tub. A few of the heating stones were tossed in to warm the water to a blissful temperature to relax her muscles. It had been odd to be a human once more considering how long she had stayed as a wolf. More so, she couldn't believe she shifted back to her humanoid form with him except since she had been a canine there were no need for clothes so why would her human self have them? Thankfully, he was what she never thought a male could be. He didn't care what she wore, what she didn't, or any of the frivolous stuff. No, he actually tried to communicate with her. His eyes never left her own if only to close when he kissed her. Her mind replayed the moments in her head over and over again as she laid her head against the rim of the tub. It was a moment she never wanted to leave. It was so perfect and yet...

Lia snapped back to reality at the knock at the door. A servant had come by with clothes and some things for Lia to get ready. Oh how she wished they could have just stayed together in bed and not have to deal with the outside world or even those within the fortress, but it was what she signed up for. Besides, he was trying to make something for her. The gesture was sweet and Lia couldn't pass up the opportunity. A sigh escaped her lips as she reluctantly emerged from the bathe. She grabbed the nearest towel to dry off with and wrapped it swiftly around her body before making her way to the door. Just behind it was the servant with a small pile of things for her. They rarely came into the room and from what she observed, Razor's room seemed to be off-limits; more so when she was here as well. Lia thanked the servant as she took the pile from them and returned to the comfort of the room to get ready.

The servant waited patiently outside to bring Lia to where their master waited. Lia meanwhile took her time as she got dressed. While she wanted to get to Razor quickly, there was a sort of comfort in being permitted to be in his room as she was. Maybe it was the intimacy of it, the restrictions on who was allowed to even be near the door, or that it was just Razor's room but she loved being here. Within due time, the girl was dressed and reemerged to join the servant who greeted the girl and led her down the tunnels to where Razor laid waiting.
