...Walked with you once upon a dream...

Pt. 35

                              (Short Chapter)

Both of you woke up nude. You woke first, kissing the top of Jacques head as you held it.

''Well, we DEFINITELY conceived,'' he said pointing his head down and running his hand over your stomach.

You nodded and smiled as you pressed your lips on his forehead.

''Do you think people heard me?'' you asked.

''Darling, the WHOLE estate heard you and and miles beyond,'' Jacques replied.

You couldn't help but blush. Jacques felt your cheeks warm up and grinned.

''I'm sorry if I was a little...rough,'' he confessed.

''No, you were lovely,'' you said. ''The goal of a wedding night is to put a baby in my belly, and that you surely did,'' you said as you rolled on top of him.

He smiled and held your head as he kissed you. Then pulled a blanket over you two as he held your head to his chest this time. ''Sleep,'' he softly said. That was no problem to you, you were out in minutes. Jacques hand's went under the blanket as he held you close to him and rubbed your back.

You slept for a few more hours as he stayed in his EXACT spot with you. When you did wake, you did not want to get off Jacques. He was SO warm and soft! You heard and felt his stomach growl. You knew then you HAD to get up.

Right on time, there was a knock at the door.

''I'll get that,'' he said as you sat on the bed holding the covers over your chest.

He got out of bed and placed a robe on. He then opened the door and greeted the servant as he rolled the cart in. They left the cart as Jacques re joined you on the bed.

''Let's take a bath together after we eat,'' he said.

''We won't fit,'' you replied.

''There is a bathing pool down the hall,'' Jacques said grabbing your hand's and leading you off the bed too.

Both of you ate, then went down the hall in your robe's. Beforehand, Jacques ordered the servants to fill the pool. As you both entered, the servants left except one who was finishing filling the pool with a vase of hot water. When she finished, she bowed her head and left. Steam rose up from the water.

Jacques stripped down revealing his Adonis body and climbed up the steps and stepped in. You removed your clothe's and followed. As you stepped into the water, Jacques stood a little to capture you and have you sit on his lap sideways.

Even without the water, his body was still warm. You laid your head on his shoulder.

''Is the Wardeness already tired?'' Jacques asked.

''No, just very comfortable,'' you replied.

You wished every morning could be like this. Just you and Jacques wrapped up in each other.

Jacques grabbed the floating rag and washed up and down your arm.

''Do you know if it's a boy or girl yet?'' he asked.

''Nope, it's too early yet, but my instinct's might know in a few months,''you replied.

''What do you want it to be?'' he asked again

''I always wanted a little boy...I don't know why, just always have,'' you responded.

This made Jacques grin. He would like a son as well, or two. He would teach him everything he knows to become a scholar and a knight. He REALLY couldn't wait now as all the possibilities ran through his head.

You grabbed the washcloth, folded it and washed his chest in circular motion. Some of the warm water made scars appear. It hurt you to see them, but you pressed on.

''Do you want to know what happened?'' he said suddenly grabbing your wrist gently.

''W-W-What?!'' you replied trying to play it off as you had no idea.

''You're not very good at fooling people you know,'' Jacques replied. ''I seen you looking at them and you're expression,'' he added.

You knew you were caught. You traced your finger lightly over one. ''Do they hurt?'' you asked. He replied with a simple ''no,'' but he knew that answer wouldn't suffise.

''Some of them came from my time squiring. Not the most pleasant job, but it's a path you must take to become a knight,'' he said.

You gently washed those too up to his neck, and the tiny one by his lip.

''I'm NOT going into battles ANYMORE,'' he said out of the blue.

''But isn't it not your shirt for king and country?'' you replied.

He turned you around to face him. ''I don't really think one missing knight is going to matter, plus Pierre can relay my request if I choose,'' he said holding your sides. Slowly, his hands slid down to your waist.

''Now....I have you and our little one to protect which is far more important,'' Jacques finished as he pressed his forehead to yours.

You did the same and locked lips with him.
