The mighty Xanthus Villain fainted at the news of becoming a father.

"Xanthus, Xanthus!" I called out his name while patting his back. His face rested in the crook of my neck. It's been a full five minutes, and he still has not regained consciousness. It was now scaring me. I moved a little bit and held his face.

"Xanthus," I said in my worried voice while cupping his face, calling him again. So many thoughts came to my mind. What if he doesn't want this? What if he says he is not ready and wants time to think about it? We have still not talked about kids or raising them. That thought had bothered me for some time, but My vision started to blur. What will I do then? His eyes shot open at my call. Relief flooded me when I saw his eyes open. He blinked his eyes while looking at me. A confused look crossed his face when he looked at my teary eyes.

Is this news so unexpected that it has made him faint like this?

I kept looking at him with blurred vision, waiting for his response. His eyes widened in realisation when everything came crashing down to him, and I saw how so many emotions swirled in his grey eyes. My intertwined fingers started to get frigid, and my lips trembled in anticipation of hearing his verdict. The next thing I knew, he cupped my face, and his lips engulfed my trembling one. My eyes widened, and tears slid from my eyes when his soft lips kissed me with so much tenderness in them. I closed my eyes and kissed him back. More warm tears slid down from my eyes. He kissed all over my face tenderly and with so much affection. He kissed away all my tears. He pecked my lips and then rested his forehead on mine. Our noses were touching each other, making us breathe the same air. His grey eyes were still closed, and he sniffled to drink away my tears. What surprised me was when I heard him sniffing. It made me open my eyes and look at him.

"Thank you! Thank you so much," he said in his soft, crying voice. A sob left my mouth when he said that.

"Thank you for making me so happy, love," he whispered those words so tenderly that it made my heart fill with so much happiness. I opened my arms and hugged him tightly as soon as he said those words. Tears of happiness fell from my eyes.

"I was so scared. I thought you didn't want it," I sobbed loudly while hugging him tightly.

"How could I not want it? I have been dreaming of having lots of kids with you since the day we got married. The thought of you getting big with my child has always made my heart beat in excitement," he said softly in my ear.

"I'm so sorry. I made you even more scared by fainting like that. Your words made me so happy that I couldn't control my emotions," he said apologetically while hugging me back tightly. We were both crying in happiness. He broke the hug and cupped my face. The rough pad of his thumb wiped the warm tears that slid down from my eyes.

"Now stop crying. It's not good for the baby," he said softly while kissing my forehead tenderly. I bobbed my head while sniffing.

"You know what I fainted too when I came to know about it," I whispered sheepishly while biting my lower lip. He blinked his eyes, and the very next moment, we both started laughing. Throwing our heads back, we laughed with new joy in our lives. I hugged him again, and he carried me in his arms.

"You need to rest. You must be tired," he said while gathering me in his arms. His words held deep care and affection. I wrapped my arms around his neck. It made me giggle.

"That's what I've been doing since morning. I have rested enough," I said with a big smile on my face.

"Then tell me who sorted everything in the wardrobe," he asked me while looking at me with narrowed eyes. I bit my lower lip. He caught me. I remember he had strictly warned me not to do any house chores and to take a good rest.

"I was bored, and I only did half the clothes," I mumble while giving him my bright smile so he forgives me. He moved his head in amusement. He carries me to our room. He laid me down on the bed and went to the bathroom to change. I grabbed his pillow, which has his scent all over it. I buried my face in it and inhaled deeply. His intoxicating scent relaxed me. I'm going to hold it until he comes to bed. I had a lot at dinner, and it was making me feel sleepy. All the crying I did made my eyes a little tired and heavy. I closed my eyes for a moment, but I found myself drifting into sleep. I stirred up a bit from my deep slumber when I felt a warm palm caressing my stomach. I turned around to see Xanthus looking down at me with so much love. His face was resting on his palm. I smiled lazily at him while looking at him with sleepy eyes. He smiled back while his hand kept caressing my stomach. He bent down and kissed my forehead.

"We are going to be parents," he whispered, and I could sense the excitement in his voice.

"I'm so excited about it. I still can't believe it," I said while turning around to face him. His hand wrapped around me. I placed a small kiss on his chest, where his heart was beating loudly. His hand moved on my back in soothing circles. I moved and snuggled in his warm embrace. I inhaled his intoxicating scent, and it made me feel relaxed and calm.

Today's day felt like a rollercoaster ride to me. I was scared. I was happy, and at some point, I was in between those two emotions. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. His warm embrace makes me forget all my worries. It charges me for a new beginning. It gives me the strength to face new challenges every day with a big smile on my face. It is the place where I find myself every night.

It makes me feel like I'm at home in my comfort zone.

He is my home.
