It was late at night. Iruma was sleeping peacefully, before he was awoken by movement. He woke up and looked to his side to see his wife shaking violently in her sleep.
"Ameri? Hey, Ameri!" The female demon woke up and was breathing heavily. She looked at Iruma, and hugged him tightly, crying into his shoulder.
"Hey, hey, it's okay. I'm right here", said Iruma, stroking Ameri's back.
They pulled out of the hug and looked into each other's eyes. "Did you have a nightmare?" Ameri nodded. "Do you want to talk about it?" Ameri wiped her tears and nodded again.
"Okay. What was your nightmare about?" "In my dream, you... didn't love me anymore. When I went to go talk to you, you were disgusted by the mere sight of me!"
Before the female demon could go on another tangent, Iruma gave her a passionate kiss on the lips. "Ameri, that was only a dream." "But..." "Only. A. Dream." Iruma caressed the side of Ameri's face.
"I love you, there is no doubt. If you don't believe me, look at this moment. Here we are, sleeping together, happily married. And then there is this", said Iruma, pointing at his wife's pregnant stomach.
"You and I created that. In a few months, we are gonna be parents to a wonderful child."
Ameri calmed down. "You're right. Sorry. This was stupid."
"No, it wasn't. I got to say how much I love you." Iruma hugged his wife, who returned it. "I love you, Iruma." "Well, you already know my answer. But nonetheless, I love you too."
Another passionate kiss was shared, and they lied back on their bed.
For the rest of that night, Ameri slept with a smile on her face, because she didn't have a nightmare, but a dream. A dream, where she held a camera, and her beloved husband was crouching with his arms stretched, chanting on their child who was taking their first steps.
