In The Garden ( a tale of love and blood)

chapter 10

SOME REGRETS

Lying in bed dressed in a basic shirt and short pants. I rubbed my stomach it had gotten quite big over the past few weeks. I still couldn't believe I was pregnant. at 18 no less. if I could tell my friends they would mock me forever, especially after all those years of making baby mama jokes about the girls in my school.

And to my surprise, I was quite happy with my circumstances. which is really surprising and a bit worrying. coming down here for the first time I promised myself to never fall in love with the demon queen and yet here I am having her child.

living oh so lavishly. I've lived my best life up here. no work well except for the boring meetings I have with Lilith. I can't believe she's making me learn about demon history. she must have heard about how much I arbor history class and decided that will be the way she tortures me.

but what bothered me was Lilian. after that incident, I hadn't seen much of her. apparently, she was sent out on a mission to earth and my guard was then replaced by some other demon called Abdur.  he was as basic as basic got. It reminded me of an anime background character.

well at least in fantasy anime the background characters have more interesting features.

but I don't think I would be even ready to talk to her. especially after we almost had an affair. something tells me Lilith doesn't take well to her wife cheating on her.

feeling a kick in my stomach I gasped for air "Jesus Christ is this baby trying to kill me."

"I'd hope not" looking from the bed Lilith stood in the doorway holding a box her body shrunken into the size of a normal human "I've brought more gifts from the overworld for the baby."

looking around the room I questioned whether or not this woman was serious. this would make the 20th no 30th gift she's bought for the baby. and surprisingly half of the stuff she bought isn't even things like diapers and wipes. but instead, are clothes and toys. and useless appliances.

"Oh god, what did you buy now? I hope it's not thirty more bibs with stupid slogans like. Mommy said it was okay."

"No not this time. instead, I have bought a couple of baby books" opening the box inside was galore of books. some I recognized from my childhood. such as Pete the cat, PBS kids, and even Disney classics like dumbo.

"Wow, this is nice. though these are more like toddler books it's still really a good idea" rubbing her thumb against my cheek a smile on my face I felt so happy "I know this sounds crazy, but I think I'm in love with you."

Lilith was seemingly left dumbfounded by what I said, and a pang of guilt pulled at her face, but I didn't think too much about it "I love you too" pressing her lips gently against mine I felt overcome with lust.

my hands snaking around her neck Lilith pulled away and began peppering kisses all around my face. I felt my cheeks redden "I'm so happy to have met you my dessert flower."

"Dessert flower. that's new. I think." her fingers twirled my hair around her fingers gently not pulling on my brown hair.

"One name could not describe the beauty and grace. that you are" caressing my cheek I felt warm and fuzzy on the inside. "And though I wish I could spend every waking moment with you I cannot." sitting up from bed I grabbed onto her hand.

"But you just came back."

"Yes, but sadly there is no rest for the wicked" I snickered.

"And your wicked"

pinching my chin making me look at her in her eyes her golden eyes hot and pricing turning into the color of molten lava "I'm the wickedest of all.' kissing my lips gently she walked off leaving me with butterflies in my stomach.
