lord could you imagine the the cravings??? How do you even begin? like?? it’s a demon goddess baby!! “M...Meliodas... this is going to sound so strange but....I think I need something with .....calcium? I’m not sure, but I think the baby wants....bo...bones?” “Bones?” Meliodas asks lifting an eyebrow. He is SO confused. It was so out of character for her. “I....I’m just having such a strong, weird craving for, I’m not sure.....marrow? Something meaty, but not meat. I can only think of a juicy steak with the bone inside, but only the bone looks good. C...can you fetch me one please? I’m feeling sick, like I’m not going to feel good again until I eat it.” She looks at him with big round eyes. “s...sure eli, I’ll get that for you hun, don’t worry.” He comes back with her “meal” and finds her crying now. “W...what’s wrong darling?” “How can I eat bones!!?”She yells at him, almost bitterly before burying her face in her hands. Again very out of character for her. “U...um....I guess I could chew it for you?” “NO!” She shouts before gasping and covering her mouth. “I’m sorry!!” She wails again covering her face. He thinks panicked please someone help me! He has no idea how to handle all these new outbursts, but he is trying his best. He finds her so beautiful especially now with her being with child so he can’t help but dote on her as best as he can, showing her that even if she is lost during this strange new time in their lives, he will be there for her every need. “Elizabeth, please don’t cry my love, it will be OK you’ll see. Do you want me to go get the sick bucket for you? Do you still feel ill?” She shakes her head still not looking at him. “W...well you can try chewing the bone yourself?” He rubs her back holding the bone closer to her. She nods her head yes and peeks her shameful gaze out from her hands before quickly grabbing the cartilage greedily from Meliodas and trying to chow down on it. He looks in surprise, almost startled by the speed and ferocity of her plucking fingers. She begins to bite quickly and he can’t help but chuckle at how silly she looks. She begins to chuckle along, feeling pretty silly, before quickly sobbing again feeling foolish just as fast. He sighs and pulls her in closely for tender hug. He kisses her softly on the head and whispers, “There, there Elizabeth. Not much longer now when you’ll  be holding our beautiful little boy and it will all be worth it, right?” He smiles warmly as he gently fores her to look into his eyes. His green eyes shimmering and reassuring her that this too shall  all pass. She nods again, her stunned gaze softening as she rests her head against his chest an listening to his beating hearts. She almost forgets the sickening feeling from earlier, that is until she quickly doubles over and is sick all over his pants and shoes. He sighs with a worn out smile and gently kisses her tenderly on the head while the corner of his eyes spill over and his defeated smile never fading.
