Chapter Four:
Mary-Lynnette frowned as she placed the phone in the cradle, slightly upset that she hadn't gotten the answer she'd wanted, or rather an answer at all, just laughing, lots and lots of laughing.
She sighed and walked towards the couch to sit down, folding her right leg underneath her so she was sitting on her foot. Biting her nail as she thought about her current predicament, she thought she might have been a little ridiculous over the last question.
Was it really ridiculous though? Obviously, it wasn't the most important. Sure there were questions that needed to be asked, but in reality that specific question was only important when the threat of not getting any was hanging in the balance. Poppy and James just didn't understand the severity of the situation, or how badly Mary-Lynnette had wanted an answer.
Every time she saw Ash she wanted to throw him down and have her way with him, well, so long as he didn't get on her nerves, but then she'd just kick him in the shin since that was the best way to deal with him. Once she did that he'd be like a puppy dog, asking what he did wrong or what could he do to make it up to her.
Her answers were, as of late, were well received for the both of them, but now, safety with children came first.
"What am I going to do?" she mumbled to her stomach, before dropping a hand over it and rubbing soothingly.
What felt like an encouraging kick answered her, causing her to yelp in surprise.
"What the fu-" she stopped, cleared her throat, then continued, "-dge? No way am I that far along."
Granted she didn't know much, but two or three weeks into a pregnancy a baby couldn't have been more than an embryo.
"Kick again," she demanded her stomach.
When it happened again, in a once, then twice effort, she knew things were going to be heading south.
"Kiss me harder," he moaned, wrapping an arm around the back of her neck, his free hand trailing down until he got to her hips, where his fingers promptly dug in, holding her to him.
She felt the bed brushing against the back of her legs and with one more coaxing step her knees buckled, but instead of falling backwards together Mary-Lynnette pushed her hands out, keeping him from following.
We'll crush them. It was the only thought running through her head as she'd felt the air whooshing through her hair. When the feel of the cool sheets hit the bare skin of her neck, she managed to scuttle up the bed, frantically kicking at what she could touch off the ground.
Ash frowned in confusion, his eyes examining her face before he lankly dropped his lower half against hers, supporting himself with his arms on either side of her shoulders, and safely keeping him off her belly
"Are you okay?" he asked curiously. "Did I hurt you?"
"Mm hmm," she mumbled smiling nervously at him.
His mouth dropped open in horror and his eyes began to assess her body, searching. "What?"
Mary-Lynnette gave him a crooked grin and shook her head, realizing her mistake. "No, you didn't hurt me, I'm fine-I just, sideways?"
Ash raised an eyebrow.
She felt the heat rising in her cheeks at her rather unfulfilled comment. "I meant, um, positions. There are other positions we could try this in. So I was thinking sideways."
A lazy grin crept onto his face as he quickly realized what she was talking about, "Mare, I'll take you in any position you want. Hell, I'll get the book and we'll do all of them, twice," he smiled and bent his head to capture her lips in a quick, teasing kiss. "When you're a vampire we'll do them again and then make up our own."
If she hadn't already been lying down she would have fallen. Her legs felt like jelly and she felt her already rapid heartbeat escalate. She reached forward to stroke the side of his stubbly jaw and gently started running her thumb across his bottom lip.
When she felt the sting of tears gathering in the corner of her eyes, she tried to stop it by blinking rapidly, but simply gave in when the liquid drop slipped down.
Emotional. With a capital 'E,' she thought angrily taking her hand away from his face to swipe impatiently at the tear.
"Um, are you-" Ash stopped and settled on her right side, pulling her with him so that they were facing each other, huddled together so closely that he was practically hugging her. "What's wrong?" he whispered against the lobe of her ear.
That did it. Her tears were full blown, pooling around eyes, spilling down, until her neck was damp. "I don't know what's wrong."
Only she did, but how could she tell him? They were both still so young and even though money wasn't an issue since Ash had inherited millions from Max, she still felt that her being pregnant would cause more issues than they could handle.
They had just started their relationship. Being soul mates was one thing, but they'd waited a whole year before even doing anything and within a half a year she's pregnant because they couldn't use protection? She didn't know how it worked with vampires, but in her world of humans, it wasn't exactly the best news ever, especially in small towns, where gossip is more popular than actual humanity.
Apparently, her crying hadn't much dampened his need as he leaned forward to lick up her neck, lapping at the wet trails of her tears. He paused at the curve of her jaw, gently nibbling up to her ear.
"Ash, I don't think I'm in the mood anymore," she managed.
A rumbling chuckle emitted from his mouth before he responded, "I can get you back into it," he whispered.
At first, she was tempted to let him try, but when he started going down, his elbow landed on her stomach and he pushed off to go down further. Her response was almost instant as she threw him off her, or rather as much as she could of him.
"Mare-what-why—"
Mary-Lynnette scowled up at him. "Just get off me," she cried out, noting the slight panic in her voice.
She couldn't tell him that she was afraid it would damage the babies, that it could possibly traumatize them too.
"I don't think we can do this anymore."
Ash's eyes widened and he followed her every move. "Um-you're not breaking up with me are you?" he asked so softly, she had to strain to hear.
Mary-Lynnette blinked, and then scoffed tossing her hair behind her shoulders. "NO! I meant, I don't think we can do the sex anymore."
"Define 'anymore,'" he requested.
"In terms of time, well it's debatable, but possibly a year," she said and then smiled up at him, hoping to soften the blow.
He resembled a fish as his mouth opened and closed. She could see in his eyes that he was searching for the right question, but knew he was too baffled at her comment to come up with any successfully.
"I'm at a loss for words," he finally managed.
Mary-Lynnette sighed heavily, completely distraught as she lifted herself up into a sitting position, "I know, it's a lot to take in."
"Why?"
Mary-Lynnette bit her lip, showing her uneasiness. "I can't tell you yet."
"Is this some type of human tradition?" he asked in a such a way that Mary-Lynnette knew he was trying to remain calm. "Like how you aren't supposed to have sex until your married? If that's it, let me just tell you..."
"No," she shook her head.
Ash exhaled through his nose and swiftly ran a hand through his already ruffled hair. "No, it's not a marriage thing?"
Mary-Lynnette wasn't stupid, even if she hadn't seen the opportunity right away, but she saw it now. She could make it about marriage.
"It is about marriage."
Ash snorted. "You aren't religious."
Mary-Lynnette slowly stood up, tossing her hair over her shoulders. "Who said anything about religion? I just heard that if you've had sex with you partner that if the couple decides to abstain until they get married the sex on the wedding night is ten times better." It wasn't a total lie, she had read it somewhere.
"Are you serious?" he gasped out.
She nodded.
"Then we're getting married in Vegas."
Her mouth dropped open. She hadn't thought of that. "NO!" she cried out. "I want a big wedding," she tried remembering as she said if she'd already told Ash she wanted a small one.
She must've because he looked at her skeptically. "Really?" he asked, confirming his skepticism.
"Yes."
He pouted and she was surprised when he didn't stomp childishly. "I'm gonna die," he grumbled.
Mary-Lynnette smiled gently. "Stop pouting."
"I-" he paused for dramatic effect, "am not pouting. I do not pout."
Mary-Lynnette snorted as she tried to contain the chuckle before she stood up and went towards her door. She held her hand out, "come on, let's go look at a ghost donut," she chuckled, wiggling her fingers out to him, coaxing him to take her hand.
He smiled sheepishly. "I can't believe you remembered I called it that."
She shrugged, grinning back playfully. "It was the night I was almost turned into a vampire. It was the best and scariest night of my life."
"Our first kiss too," he supplied, walking lazily towards her.
"Oh yeah there was that too," she tried to speak seriously.
She couldn't help but feel slightly surprised the topic of them not having sex had been dropped so easily. She felt her worry slowly disappear because clearly they were more than just sex. They were soul mates.
"You don't remember that but you remember 'ghost donut'?"
When his hand finally fell into hers, she winked. "Come on gorilla, maybe you can give me another stick."
