New Kingdom

Larien awoke to the sunlight, dancing against her skin. She looked up at Raito's sleeping form and sighed, They had so much fun before they were married and she was scared that he wasn't happy anymore. She couldn't have fun like she used to now that she was pregnant.

Rai's ears perked up, noticing something comeing up the stairs. he stirred from his sleep and looked at the door. his eyes narrowed, not knowing what to expect. "someone is coming"

Larien sat up in the bed as her brother Dorin opened the door. He smiled at them, "sorry to wake you," he said as he sat down the cradle Rai had built. "We're painting the babies' room today and we didn't want to get paint on it." He said as he left the room. Larien smiled, getting up from the bed and traced her fingers on the cradle.

"aww..I was hoping for you not to see it yet.." Rai sighed, seeing Larien's eyes locked on the cradle "I worked prety hard on it. I hope you like it..dont know how good of a job I did." Rai said modistly, the cradle looked as if it had been made by a master wood worker. "I honestly think I could have done better"

LArien turned to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I love it," she said as she kissed him.

The Hybrid kissed his wife deeply, holding her tight, the babies shifting around in her womb. "you really like it?" Raito said lightly breaking the kiss,

Larien nodded laying her head against his chest and she felt the babies moving around inside her.

"So you think we can estimate a delivery date?" Raito said looking at his wife, noticing her wince as he felt the babies kick harder then they usualy had before

"Hard to say," Larien said as she winced against holding her enlarged belly. "Elven children often are born early or late."

"Oh...um Ive got a question..you know...the night...um..how exactly did you Know you were pregnant when we woke up the next day...doesnt it usualu take like 3-5 days?" the Hybrid asked, thinking back once again to the days Shigure had put him in school

Larien blushed and turned sideways, lifting up her shirt a little and revealed a bruisted on her left side. "When an elf gets pregnant," she said. "She gets a bruise on her side, the day of or after conception. I developed it overnight.."

"But...but still...it should have atleast taken about 3 or 5 days...it shouldent have been the next morning.." Raito said, lightly touching the bruse, then realized somethig "They didnt see that when you were getting cleaned for the wedding did they? or when you asked your anscestors?"

Larien nodded. "But I told them it was from the fight with Daisear.'' She wrapped her fingers with his. "I know its confusing, but Elven childbirth and making is similar yet different from humans."

"Still...How on earth did I concieve you over night?" Rai asked, Still questioning "it never goes that fast...well except for rodents..."

Larien sighed, knowing he wouldn't understand how the female elf body worked. She blushed. "I release at least 3 eggs at once.." She sat on the bed looking at him. "Elven women were born to conceive and bear children, that's why we conceive practically over night."

"Oh...um..." Raito said as he walked over, then laied on the bed, He blushed, then said something else "Um..seems I have alot to learn...would you mind teaching me?"

Larien looked over at him and smiled. "Just ask."

"Um...alright" Raito said as he leaned over, then asked an incredibly intimate question, blushing as he finished the words

Larien blushed looking at him. "Rai! Don't you think we should at least wait till the babies are born?!"

"s..sorry..I just wanted to Know..." Raito said blushing "We didnt really get to do that.." He scrached the back of his head, his face matching the colors in his hair

Larien blushed. "Well you had plenty of chances..."

"well...I...errr...I..I didnt think of it till now.." the hybrid admitted, Placing his hand on her tummy, them slowly slid down, kissing the princess's neck lightly

Larien tilted her head back slightly, stroking his back slowly.

Rai then tried something he hadent before, he lightly bit the Princess's neck, caressing her sides gently

Larien moaned softly as she pulled him closer to her.
