*one whole big ass year later*
"Babe."
Virana felt someone nudge her.
"Babe, Namaari is awake again. It's your turn."
Virana opened her eye to see a very exhausted Cara.
Virana woke up and heart the faint crying of a baby. She sighed and rolled out of bed. "I'm coming, I'm coming."
Virana picked Namaari up from out of her crib and held her in her arms.
"Shhhh. It's ok princess." Virana held Namaari tighter.
"Don't worry. I'm right here. There is no need to worry, baby. I love you. Mommy loves you." Virana kissed Namaari's small head.
"And so do I." Cara came up from bed and walked over to Virana and Namaari.
Virana smiled and gave Cara a long kiss on the lips. Cara kissed the baby's head and smiled.
"You should take her in bed with us." Cara suggested.
"I guess we could try that. I'll put her in between us." Virana smiled. She got in bed and so did Cara. They put the baby in between them.
Virana took the blanket off the bed where they put the baby so she wouldn't suffocate.
"I can't believe she is 3 months old already." Cara smiled.
"Yeah neither can I." Virana grinned and kissed Cara on the lips.
"She will be such a a great Chief, just like you." Cara smiled and looked at Namaari.
"Hold on." Virana said. She got up from bed and started scratching her scalp.
She was hit with this strong, intense headache. The ache was violent and rapid. It seemed to come in some obnoxiously strange pattern that was killing Virana.
"What? Babe what's wrong?" Cara sat up.
Virana fell onto the floor and groaned. She held her head and growled.
"V, are you ok?" Cara reached for Virana.
Virana backed up. "No, just fuck off, binturi."
Cara froze and started to silently cry. She got up and ran out of the room.
"Shit!" Virana yelled once she knew what she had done. She groaned again in pain.
The ache wasn't going away. It kept returning and it felt like her brain would explode.
"Shit! FUUUUUCK!"
"Virana!" Atitaya ran into the room. "What's wrong Chief?!"
"My head." Virana managed to calmly say.
"Alright let's get to you to the infirmary." Atitaya helped Virana walk to get treated. She carried Namaari to a nurse so she could be monitored.
Virana passed out as soon as she got seated. She woke up a few hours later in a hospital room.
"Cara." She whispered. "Cara!?" She shot up from the bed, panting like a dog.
"Right here." A voice came from beside Virana.
Virana looked down at her hand, which was being held by Cara awfully tight.
"Cara! Are you alright? I didn't mean to-"
Virana was cut off by Cara's soft lips. Virana gladly kissed back but then retracted after a few seconds.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." Virana felt a tear fall down her face.
"I know, it's alright." Cara had tears falling down her face as well.
"Go get the doctor. I need to know what's wrong with me." Virana cried.
"Alright." Cara kissed Virana before leaving to get the doctor.
Once the doctor walked in, he told Virana she just was having a really bad migraine and passed out. It wasn't a big deal.
Virana was relieved to hear that she would be ok. Virana walked back up to her bedroom while holding Cara's hand.
A nurse brought baby Namaari back over to them and Virana smiled. She held her baby and kissed her head before she shushed her to bed.
After Virana put Namaari to bed, she saw Cara waiting patiently. Virana snuggled up with Cara happily and kissed her forehead.
Cara wrapped her legs around Virana and leaned her head on Virana's chest. Cara listened to Virana's steady heartbeat and smiled. She loved Virana too much.
Just when Cara thought it couldn't get any better, Virana started playing with her hair. Cara grinned brightly. She kissed Virana's bare chest and snuggled in more so her body fit with Virana's.
Cara traced Virana's muscular body with her fingernails, tickling Virana.
Virana giggled and started rubbing Cara's smooth, shaved legs with the palm of her hand. She let Cara lay on her in comfort and love her. Virana was so incredibly happy to have someone like Cara by her side.
Cara slithered up to Virana and grabbed her face. She kissed Virana with so much love. She was physically trying to tell Virana she was so insanely in love right now.
Virana, extremely excited, kissed back. She got up on top of Cara and rubbed their bodies together. "I love you so much, baby." Virana whispered.
"I love you too, V." Cara smiled as she wrapped her arms around Virana's neck.
The two engaged in a passionate French kiss.
"Darling, it's getting quite late? What should we do?" Cara asked in between kisses.
"I like what we are doing right now." Virana whined.
"Well I'm tired." Cara yawned.
"Alright, we can go to sleep." Virana smiled. She cradled Cara in her arms in a protective position.
In Virana's arms, Cara felt so safe from everything in the world. All her worries and internal issues disappeared. Any physical pain she had went away. When she was in Virana's arms, all she could think about was Virana herself.
Virana was her big teddy bear. She was tall, strong, brave and very sensitive. Even though Virana never showed her emotions, she did feel them. It wasn't clear to see at all, though.
Since they had been together for quite awhile, Virana had grown extremely fond to Cara's companionship. She eventually was able to open up to her lover as much as she pleased.
Cara loved it. She knew that Virana could trust her and loved her too. Cara saw a future with Virana, but did Virana see one with her?
