Soulmates at First Sight

Versailles Dreaming

Aria and Lucius' French honeymoon in Versailles was to take place in two weeks time. Lucius had a few more things to do for work, and with Aria not having any work of her own, it left her much time to be anxious about whether or not she would become pregnant. Every day over those next few weeks Aria's mind flowed in and out like the tides of the ocean on whether or not it was too soon for them to be trying for a baby. Every time she got giddy about the thought of it, an hour or so later, she would become frazzled and nervous. But overall, the thought of growing a part of her and Lucius' love inside of her was enough to always make her smile and go back to her giddiness.

Of course, Lucius remained jubilant about the thought of it. In fact, his protectiveness of her was even more intense than usual as she noticed he had the house elves providing her very healthy and full breakfasts, lunches and dinners daily and whenever they made love to each other Lucius' orgasms seemed to be even more powerful than normal, as he came within her, transferring all that he had into her. Then whenever they would cuddle after their frequent love making, he would always rest his warm hands upon her belly, as if he was trying to help create life within her. Aria's heart always melted with love for him at how much he wanted this with her. He was the most amazing man, and she couldn't believe he was hers.

Aria's thoughts about it all seemed to change so fast, she couldn't help but wonder that if she was already this frazzled during the process of trying to get pregnant, what would her hormones be like when she was pregnant? That thought frightened her a bit, however she became slightly depressed realizing she wouldn't have to worry about that for a bit, since a couple of nights before they were due to go on their honeymoon, Aria's period arrived. She wasn't pregnant.

With a forlorn look and aura to her, Aria made her way slowly down to where Lucius was drinking a nightcap of Fire Whisky in the library. The moment Lucius saw her enter the room, he instantly put down his glass and raced over to where she stood in the doorway, noticing her anguish immediately.

"My love, what's wrong?" He said as he wrapped his warm arms around her, holding her in a comforting embrace. Lucius hated seeing Aria in a state of any sadness or upset. He always wanted to make sure the sun within her shone brightly.

"I'm not pregnant..." she said as a few tears fell down her face, as she buried herself into Lucius' chest, causing his button up shirt to become slightly wet. She breathed in Lucius' comforting scent as he held her tightly.

"Oh," Lucius said with a sad sigh out at hearing the news. He drew in a deep breath, not wanting to be too disappointed about it, as he wanted to comfort Aria in any way that he could. He wanted to be strong for her. "It doesn't always happen the first few....well in our case...many times that a couple tries. We will keep trying my love, I promise," Lucius said as he stroked her soft, blond hair and kissed the top of her head.

"I know," Aria said as she spoke into his chest, causing her voice to be a bit muffled. "I know it can take a while for it to happen it's just...I just really wanted it. I was certain that night that I decided not to take my birth control potion that it would happen. I had such a special feeling," she said as she finally moved her head up so that she could wipe her eyes.

"Keep that feeling my love. And I will keep making sweet love to you every chance I get, I promise," Lucius said romantically as he cupped her face in his hands and looked into her eyes, trying to convey to her that he meant it with all his heart.

Aria smiled a bit at his words and nodded her head in agreement that they wouldn't stop trying.

Lucius, encouraged at Aria's smile, continued as he brought her in close to his body and whispered in her ear sensually. "And think...our honeymoon is in a few days...plenty of opportunities to make love to you over every square inch of Versailles," he crooned.
