Pregnancy had affected you.
During the last two weeks at least.
Damian’s eyes are filled with nothing but adoration, watching as practically waddle around the kitchen with a spoon in your mouth, looking through the cabinets. You wear his clothes—you’ve been wearing his clothes for months now. Maternity clothes don’t do you justice, plain and ugly—so you decide the next best thing would be your husband's clothes.
You can’t remember the last time you wore something that had actually belonged to you, but Damian never complained.
He takes in your appearance, eyes sunken with tiredness eyes, dark eye bags painting under them like a canvas, hair messy—pulled up away from your face, strands of hair poking in different directions.
And to him you have never looked more beautiful.
“What are you up to?” Damian whispers, loud enough for you to hear, soft enough so he won’t startle you. He leans against the doorway of the kitchen, arms crossed over his chest.
You don’t look up, eyes trained on the stove below and the pan that holds two eggs; there are two pieces of toast on the counter. “The baby’s hungry again. Chocolate and eggs seemed to be a good combo for him.”
“Him?” He questions, right eyebrow raised slightly with a small smile painted on his face.
“Yes, him” you hum “it’s a boy, I know it”
You beamed at him, smiling as you turned to glance at him for a second before tuning your gaze back at the cooking eggs. He hums, pushing himself off the doorway. Damian makes his way towards you. From behind his arms find their way around your way, warm hands place on the roundness of your belly. He hears you sigh, leaning up against his back.
“What makes you say that my love?”
“He’s strong as hell in there,” you grumble out, “I can feel him kicking and punching. Strong just like his daddy, I see.”
He watches as you poke at your belly, which seems to irritate the small human growing in there. The baby kicks back, and you wince slightly. He lets out a chuckle against your ear, slightly rubbing the skin to ease the pain.
“Or strong just like her mother”
“I doubt it, I’m losing patience and irritated. This baby is way past due. And I need this little brat out now so I can finally sleep on my stomach,” You grumble out, huffing as you rub softly at your belly. Damian hums.
You place the eggs on the toast covered in chocolate spread. He takes the plate off the counter, as you turn off the stove, filling him after. Damian places the play down on the table, pulling the chair out softly as you take your seat. You scotch closer, and your husband takes the seat right next to yours.
“It’s been almost two weeks, hasn’t it?” he says, referring to your statement from earlier
“It feels like it’s been two years,” you huff out “I feel like a whale”
He leans over, gently wiping away the chocolate stain from the corner of your lips with his thumb. “Don’t say that, beloved, you looks stunning”
“You’re my husband. You’re supposed to say things like that to make me feel better.”
“Husband or not, I’m not lying,” he smiles, eyes filled with love. You doubt him for a second—eyebrow raised in question, “ cross my heart and hope to die.” He draws an imaginary X over his heart with his finger.
The conversation goes on—changing to a new topic, still bringing the overdue date of your unborn child into question.
“I read somewhere that sex induces labor,” you say, not a single trace of embarrassment laced in your voice. “We could try that later tonight”
“Ah I’m sorry if you’re not comfortable with it. I can try something else.” You laugh nervously, being silly that Damian would ever agree to something like this.
“I’ll be more than happy to help you. If sex is something you want to try, I’ll agree.”
“You are my wife,” he says. He reaches over and finds your hand, his thumb softly gliding over your knuckles. “It’s my duty, as your husband, to help you anyway shape or form. If this is something you believe will truly help you, I will not throw a fit over it.”
You stare up at him, eyes searching for any discomfort he may show. But there was nothing. Your face feels warm, and you swallow the lump in your throat.
This did something to you.
You raptly get up from your seat, chair scraping up against the wooden kitchen floors. Damon startles, his hand still attached to yours, eyes widen in shock.
“Now?!” You tug him up with the little strength you have. Damian is pushing himself up quickly. “Are you certain? This is all so sudden”
“Yes, now take of your clothes.
A trail of clothes left behind.
Damian truly believes that a happy marriage is one where a husband obliges to their wife—even with sudden requests as this one.
Damian yearns for a little girl…..
