She Is His

After The Dinner Party

"That dinner with the family was indescribable." Jessie scolded as they return to the castle in the Dreaming. There was a family dinner with all the siblings. Needless to say, there may not be another one for a while.

"What possessed Delirium to throw the pie?" Dream pondered, brushing pie crust crumbs off his coat.

"Did you not heard what Desire said? I wanted to throw a pie in sassy breeches' face too." Jessie huffed, finding some cherry sauce on her blouse. "Dream, let's take a shower and call it a night." She reached up and ran her fingers in his hair.

"Can we skip the shower?" Dream persuaded, smiling wolfishly at her.

"You have whip cream in your hair!" She pulled her hand away, showing him.

"Let's take a shower." Dream invited, lifting her into his arms.

Laying in his arms while in bed together, Jessie thought about how much things have changes. Since she went missing in the mortal realm now a year ago, her house was bought by a coworker, and they moved their little family now. She could change from human form to raven form at will. She enjoyed flying through the mountains and the valleys of the Dreaming like she did before. Just now, Dream would hold out his arms to catch her.

"What are you thinking about, my love?" Dream asked. She smiled. Rising up, she kissed his lips.

"This life now. How amazing it is." Jessie shared, looking down at him. She brushed the hair of his eyes.

"It is amazing." Dream agreed, wrapping her back in his arms.

"And it is going to get better." Jessie professed, shifting herself to lay next to him. Taking his hand, she placed it on her stomach and pressed lightly. After a moment, Dream could feel movement under her skin. "I'm pregnant." Dream was speechless. He pulled her into arms and recaptured her lips. All his dreams had come true.
