“Vox, Vox, I’ve got a surprise for you.” Tree beamed as she guided his hand down from around her shoulders and to her stomach, moving it up and down the curve that was beginning to grow. “It’s our kit,” she whispered happily, gazing up at him. “Look, right here, you can feel them moving.”
His face lit up, mind racing and unable to formulate a sentence that would fully convey the absolute joy he was experiencing in this moment.
“No, you’re not… you are? We’re going to…”
He grabbed her and pulled her deeper into him than he could remember doing for a long time. He kissed her neck and laughed in excitement.
“I’m going to be a dad, gods, this is amazing!”
Treepelt laughed giddily and threw her arms around him, and they rocked back and forth for a moment, chuckling into each other’s shoulders. “Gods, there’s…there’s so much to do…we have to name them, and…and get ready for them…” She stepped back and ran her hands through her bangs, pushing the stray ends back into the braid coiled at the base of her neck and sighed, heart pounding. “And I’m…going to be a mother…great Helheim…”
You’re going to make the best mother…
“I can’t believe this, Tree. I know I said we’d be ready when this happened, but… Odin, we need to make sure we have a place for them to sleep, and clothes, and…”
He stopped for a moment, looking the cat half-breed in the eyes and falling in love all over again. He put his hands over her stomach, stunned at the beauty of life that was being formed inside of her.
“I just hope I can be a good father to her. There’s so much I need to learn… I haven’t held a baby in years, and changing it and feeding them…”
“You’ll be great. You’ll be so great.” She cupped her hands on either side of his neck, and his face, and ran her fingers through his hair. “They’re going to be so strong, I know it.” Tree nestled her head under his chin like she loved to do when they snuggled together. “We’ll keep them safe.” She grew a bit sadder at the thought of the half-breed persecution still raging through Central. “We won’t let them hurt our kit.”
He felt her tense up, and kept her close to him. There was still uneasiness about the half-breed persecution occurring in High Central.
“We have such a strong family we’ve formed here. They’re not going to let anything happen, and I’m not going to either. I promise.”
He rocked slowly back and forth with her, just enjoying the sincerity of the situation.
“You know, I wouldn’t mind a certain someone looking after the baby if we need some time to ourselves.”
She blinked up at him. “What? Who? We don’t really talk regularly with any of the rebels…do you mean Dario?”
He chuckled, resting his head against hers while continuing to sway back and forth.
“Try again.”
She hummed thoughtfully against his chest, squinting and flicking her ears. “Um…is it Tezz and Clover? No, they’d probably be busy…” Treepelt smirked and bumped her cat nose into his. “I give up, Mr. Mystery. Who do you think our babysitter should be?”
“Nala.”
He dared not move, anticipating a reaction, regardless if it was good and bad. He knew she would be most capable of keeping their child safe.
“…Nala?”
Almost a year before she would have met the suggestion with violent hostility. Now, she only felt…calm. Acceptance. Agreement.
“I…I think so, too.” Her eyes widened, in awe of her own answer. “She could…stay with them…even after we’re gone.” A sudden laugh bubbled out of her. “A guardian demon. And us, previously soldiers of Hel…everything’s been turned on its head.” She nuzzled his neck, starting to purr. “It’s okay, though. It all turned out for the better. I think this will, too. It’s a good idea.”
“Who would have thought that we’d be here right now?”
He looked back to her stomach, his heart beating faster and smile staying strong on his face.
“We’ve been to Hel and back, literally and figuratively. We survived a war and met on the most unorthodox circumstances… and we are still here, and about to become a family.”
He pulled her head up to meet his, and kissed her before she could say anything more.
Tree closed her eyes, savoring the movement of his lips on hers, her tail curling in contentment. When they parted, she smiled at him again. “I suppose we’ll have to find her, now, won’t we? She took off to gods know where.”
