Pavla enjoyed lying there in his arms it was the most wonderful night of sleep she had in a long time. She felt him move from their bed, but didnt have the strength to actually move. She wanted to tell him to stay. To come back to bed, to hold her, anything that would keep him with her. She was not blind or stupid, she knew what drew him. At least shed heard he was addicted to the bottle. She relaxed and slept more, her body aching with the early birth of the child. She didnt know how long she slept, but she hobbled from the bed only to use the bathroom. Shed run into Elizabeth who asked her how she was feeling, they only spoke for a moment before she was called away. Pavla hobbled back to her and Dmitrys tent. Glorianna stepped in to help. Smiling at her before she tucked her in. Ill bring you some food in a bit dearie, you just rest. Pavla thanked her softly and settled back into the mattress. She fell asleep again but it seemed like it was only a moment when the flaps were shoved aside and Dmitry came storming in. Pavla whimpered as the bed shook, the jar waking and hurting her. Blinking she stared at him confused. She knew enough not to back talk. Im not hungry, Dmitry. She whispered, but seeing the look on his face decided to get up and try. Her face was still pale and she moved slowly to the table, one foot in front of the other. Muscles protesting the action. She hurt, but she attempted a smile. How has your morning been, you didnt sleep very long. Sinking to the chair she dipped the spoon in and out of the porridge. Her stomach rumbled and she tried a bite. It wasnt bad but she couldnt stomach something so heavy, not yet. I cant eat it, maybe just some bread for me. She smiled weakly at him. Her mind was trying to figure out what was wrong with him. Dmitry, will you be joining me in bed again? I enjoyed it last night and I am still so very sore and tired. Would you? She remembered his promise, hed never hit or hurt her, she was thankful he was there for her. Last night had been a nightmare and the last thing she needed was someone willing to sell her out to her stepfather. Giving her dark hair a shove she smiled softly at him, true they werent a true husband and wife, not yet. It would come in time. She didnt want to give herself to him because she felt she had to, she wanted to let what they had had blossom and grow into something more exponential before acting upon it. If she was honest with herself she wanted to love him. She knew she could but she wasnt sure he wanted her to, he seemed so hard on himself and she wished to ease that. Pavla looked over to the desk, he drank a lot. Could he stop drinking? If she had carried the baby to full term she would have asked. Standing once again on her shaky legs she looked him over. She smelled the alcohol, Have you been drinking? Are you... Are you drunk? You left me alone so you could... You could drink? I need your help, Elizabeth and Glorianna can only do so much Dmitry. Im sorry I dont mean to be so hard. I understand that you dont want me. I can accept that, but I still need you. That takes a clear head my father will try everything he can to take me away. A foggy mind is no way to deal with a conniving man like he is. Moving slowly she hobbled back toward the bed.
