Soulmates at First Sight

The Portrait

Hi readers! Thanks as always for supporting and reading!

   A few musings: It's so weird for me to want to write and read  about pregnancy and babies. Typically when I read FanFics or any story  really.. I usually don't like when babies become involved because I  usually only want to read romance and smut and just the thought of  babies doesn't usually go with that! haha. Even in my own personal life I  really am not even sure if I ever will want my own kids, as I feel as  if I don't really have that motherly instinct.

   Perhaps this is why I am writing this couple and this story.  It really is a fantasy life that I have envisioned. Maybe Aria is who I  wish I could be? Maybe not. All together though, I just feel as if  pregnancy and a baby was the most natural next step for this couple. I  find it so weird to write about something I usually don't like!

   Anyways sorry to ramble... :D I hope you enjoy this next chapter. Please let me know how you like it.

After the amazing news the couple had gotten, that they were finally  going to have a baby together, it was almost as if the two were looking  at life through rose colored glasses; everything seemed perfect.

While  Aria's nausea had still been pretty awful, she was no longer terrified  that there was something wrong with her, or that the time traveling  experience had somehow damaged her body. Even with the anti-nausea  potions, it was still really bad morning sickness, and knowing that it  was because she was pregnant with Lucius' child made all of the vomiting  and dizziness somehow worthwhile.

Lucius himself had been the  most sweet and caring she had ever seen, if that was even possible. Aria  of course knew that the powerful wizard, whom everyone believed to be so  dark and stoic, was actually the most romantic and caring person in the  world when it came to loving someone. And now with her being pregnant,  his love and care for her grew to unimaginable heights. He couldn't bare  to be apart from her, even more than usual, and she noticed that if she  was in another room for a long period of time, he would always come to  seek her out, just to be next to her. He often put his hand upon her  belly and rubbed it, or sometimes he leaned his head down to her belly  to kiss it softly as he whispered sweet words of love to their child  inside of her. She was always brought to tears at such a sweet show of  love from her amazing husband and she couldn't believe that she had  married the most incredible man. Even during the times Aria was  extremely sick, and felt quite disgusting, Lucius never thought any less  of her, and he always helped clean her up and held her in his arms  until she felt better.

After they had found out the news, Aria  immediately wrote to her mom and dad in California. She knew that they  might be surprised, their daughter being so young and having her own  child, but they knew of the soul mate bond between Lucius and Aria, so  Aria imagined they would understand how much this meant to both of them.  Her parents didn't bother to write back via owl the second they  received her letter. Instead, Aria got a FaceTime call from her mother,  who was crying and laughing with such happiness as she told her daughter  how excited she was. Even Lucius, who hated anything muggle, especially  cell phones, couldn't help but join in on the FaceTime call to tell  Aria's parents how blessed and honored he was that Aria was carrying  their child. All in all, this time in their lives was one of the  happiest either of them had ever been.

After a few months, Aria  was beginning to feel a bit better. Her morning sickness had abated  quite a bit and now she was simply glowing. She was developing a bit of a  baby bump too, and it was so weird but exciting to see her baby growing  inside of her. She loved to just rub her hands on her stomach, feeling  the hardness of it underneath her skin, and knowing that her and Lucius  had created this with their true love.
