I'm Mated To What?!

XX

"Do you have to go?" 

As much as I didn't want to go. I had to be there to be stand next to my father as his heir and to show my support. I was the best fighter of my siblings. Everyone knew this. 

"As much as I don't want to go," I sighed sitting at my desk. "I need to be there for my father and my brothers. If I knew this would end peacefully and I wasn't needed, then I wouldn't go. But this is war, and unfortunately I am needed to fight." 

Tears were forming in her eyes as I turned to look at her. She was sitting on the edge of bed. Her hands resting on her tummy. 

"Please don't cry my mate." 

She sniffled. "I know I shouldn't. I know that you have to go but...." She moved a hand to the side of her face. "But you'll be gone. You'll miss our babies birth." 

That was why I regretted this so much. Yes I was going to miss the birth of my children, my babies. To know that my mate would have to birth them alone without me by her side. It pained me to think of such things. 

"I know my mate," I whispered quietly. "I hate it. I hate it so much." I stood and walked over to her to comfort her the best that I could. She nuzzled into me and I allowed it. It would give me a little longer to feel her and them. We both drifted to sleep, but I woke to her still in my arms, so I slowly got up and left the room. 

I hadn't cried or shown tears in a very long time, but I couldn't help to shed some as I walked through the long hallways. It wasn't in the slightest like me. When I turned the corner I quickly wiped them away and joined my brothers.

--Hours Later--

I woke to him gone. A tear rolled down my face as I sat up and looked around the room. The smallest of hope that I held in my heart was shattered. I sighed and got out of bed. I ran my hand over my swollen tummy and the triplets moved like they were doing somersaults in there. At least I still had them to keep me company. 

It was strange not having Prince Scai'ian here. Every male soldier that was able to go was on the warships. I could see them in orbit. I was surprised to see that the guards, Krol and Nux'ox, were still here. When I asked it was Krol who told me that Prince Scai'ian wanted them to stay with me. That it brought him comfort to know that I would be well protected with them looking out for me. 

It brought comfort to me too. I could feel the love that Prince Scai'ian had for me. For us. I walked around the room thinking of something. Something to do. That's when I heard the computer chime. It was a message from him. 

-I miss you, my mate.-  

I smiled and walked over to the window. The main warship was the biggest and the one that he, his brothers and father would be on. 

"You should reply." I heard Krol's voice say from behind me. It sounded like he had moved over to where the desk was. 

I turned and smiled at him. Yep I was right. He was standing right next to the desk. "I know. I will." I stopped and looked back at the warship one last time. "I just wanted to look at the ships before they leave. They're going to be gone for a good while."

I'm not sure if Krol fully understood my feelings, but he nodded and gave a small what looked like a sad smile. "I know. But we are very advanced compared to any of the planets around us. We are also really powerful. It doesn't take that long to beat someone. I think at the very least, they'll be gone for a couple weeks to a few months." 

I rubbed my tummy. Yeah and these little cuties will be born by then. I'll have three little ones to look after before he gets home. Doctor De'veiw told me that it would be safer for me and them if they came a few weeks early. That they're growing beautifully. But she also told me that I longer I had them inside me, the greater the risk of not being able to birth them naturally.   

"I know," I said walking over to the desk and sitting down in the chair. I brought up the full message. "Thank you Krol. But I wish to be alone right now." He bowed and left the room with Nux'ox behind him.  

Messaging Prince Scai'ian back was harder than I thought. Being pregnant, my emotions were all over the place. I was holding back my tears sitting in his chair, but I managed to type -I know. I-I miss you too my mate.- before a few rolled down my face. 

-Are you crying?- I was shocked that he replied insistently to my message. I guess I thought it would've taken a while before getting back to me. 

-Yes.-

A video icon appeared on the screen. I hesitated at first, but clicked on it and I could see Prince Scai'ian sitting there in front of the screen. Damn he looked good in his armor and battle markings. 

"You look-," I couldn't finish my sentence. I could feel my need for him growing between my legs. That yearning feeling. I blushed and he chuckled a little. 

"What?" He asked leaning back in the chair he was sitting in. He had his arms crossed over his covered chest. 

I smiled. "You just look so damn good." I thought about lying, but in the end I was honest with him. I could see that he was trying not to laugh but wore a smile saying he would have. "What? Am I not allow to say you look good." 

He leaned closer to his screen. "Yes.. Yes are are allowed to say that I look that good." He chuckled for a moment. "I'm your mate. So it is only right that I look good in your presence." There was a pause for a moment. Prince Scai'ian looked around like someone was talking or either walking by him. Then he turned back to the computer in front of him. "There's nothing wrong with wanting your mate, my mate. It just makes the yearning feeling the even more sweeter the longer I have to wait for you. And believe me....I will have you when I get back."

It touched my heart to hear him speak like that. To know that I wanted him just as much as he wanted me. I was glad that we were on the same page with one another. "Of course my mate. I can't wait for that." I blushed and placed my hand against my face. I could feel the heat from it rising. 

Prince Scai'ian just smiled listening to me. I told him the babies where fine. I guess he feared that him being gone would have an effect on them as much as himself as well. He made it clear that he was clearly upset that he wouldn't be here for their birth. I mean it upset me, but he was put at ease knowing that my doctor, Crisa, would be here. 

We must've been talking for a really long time because he stood and started talking to someone in their native language, so I couldn't understand. I could see that it was important though, and so I just waited. When he was done, he sat back down and smiled. "I'm so sorry, my mate." He looked kind of sad. "But I have to go now. We're taking off so I'm needed on the main deck. I'll hopefully talk to you soon."

"Okay my mate," I said putting a smile on my face. 

"I love you, my mate." 

"I love you too my mate." He ended the video call and I sat there for a moment. "Talk to you soon," I whispered to myself. I slowly got up from the chair and walked over to the bed where I laid down and fell asleep.
