Moths to a Flame

As much as I love Poppy and talking to her, I haven't been the same since our chat two weeks ago. I've been feeling disappointed and sad. I still really want a baby. I haven't had the courage to bring it up with Ominis and Sebastian yet. I don't think they've really noticed yet. Why did motherhood come so easy and naturally to Poppy and not me? I've been married for three and a half years at this point, I've even been receiving letters from my parents asking about it. That's another thing I haven't been telling anyone. The pressure from my parents. It's not my fault, I want one. It's just hard. I've been laying in bed a lot more and haven't been really productive lately. I looked at the clock it was nearing midday, I peeled myself up and into the bath. I took my time, I didn't rush there was no need to hurry. I had no plans. When my fingers were wrinkled and shrivlefig like, and the bath ran cold I got out and dried myself. I wrapped up in a towel and went back to bed. I didn't even put clothes on. I know they're both at work and won't be home for a few more hours.

The clock chimed telling me it was now 2 in the afternoon. I just laid there in the bed constantly flipping from one side to the other, the left side smells like Sebastian and the right side smells like Ominis. That made it more comforting. I know I should tell them, they'll understand I know that. I know they love me and want me to be happy. But they have to be happy too. It's a decision that affects us all. It's a major step and changing the dynamic of the household. Babies aren't to be taken lightly. It's a big step and decision. I've never been the girl to tell people my feelings, unless confronted first. So it's hard to tell them what I want.

I just laid there, in the silence all day, waiting for them to return. Which about four hours later they did. I heard the floo from the fireplace. Ominis; and the crack of the apprition from right outside the house; Sebastian. The kitchen was being occupied. There were bangs and swears. I couldn't bring myself to care or investigate. Soon I heard some mumbling. Then the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs. Then the door opened.

"Darling?" Sebastian's voice said.

"Hhmm" I groaned.

"Everything alright Love?" Ominis aid sitting on the bed to the right of me, rubbing my arm.

"Why aren't you dressed?" Sebastian said, sitting to my left side.

"Didn't feel like it" I mumble.

"Darling I can't help but notice that you've been off for a while, what's wrong." Sebastian asked.

"Is there anything we can do to help you Love" Ominis asks. I sighed.

"I've wanted to bring this up for a long while now, but never knew when would be a good time. I talked to Poppy about it and she told me to just talk to you both, but like an idiot I didn't." I say to them.

"Love you're not an idiot, Sebastian's an idiot" he chided.

"Hey now!" Sebastian said. I cracked a small smile.

"There's the smile" Sebastian said. "And at my expense" he chucked. "It's alright darling"

"So what is it you wanted to tell us love" Ominis asks. I sigh again and take a deep breath and sit up.

"I don't know how to explain it" I say.

"Take your time love" Ominis says.

"I've been having an overwhelming feeling recently, it started long before I saw Poppy, but it only amplified my desire. I... I want a baby." I said quietly. They seemed shocked. "Seeing Poppy with her son and then she telling me she's pregnant again, and that she's reached such a milestone as motherhood and I haven't. Then there's the pressure from my parents that keep asking me when we're going to have one and that they're not going to live forever blah blah blah and that they want a grandchild to enjoy. I've wanted one for a long time, regardless of my parent's pressure or Poppy. I've just been having this empty feeling about it. We have been married a long time now three years. When did you guys want to start a family — five,ten years down the road? I don't know if I want to wait that long. I'm sorry I didn't mean to rant" I finished and then started to cry.

I tried to read their expressions. It was hard to read, but shock that's about all I got from them. It made me feel worse.

"I shouldn't have said anything" I said heading back to the bathroom, only I dropped the towel half way there. The bathroom door opened. I was handed the towel back and they brought me back to the bed.

"Darling why didn't you say anything" Sebastian said.

"I was scared you both wouldn't like the idea" I said.

"Darling we're all in this together, if we're not on the same page then there going be problems. We don't want that" he continued.

"Of course, but how would you feel about it then" I asked. "I feel ready for it, I have you both this beautiful home and we all have a job"

"I can't argue with that darling, you're sure though babies are a big adjustment." Sebastian said.

"Yes, it's been months, a couple years even. Ever since that incident where I thought I was." I said.
"Ominis, how about you."

"While I'm not sure, it's a big deal to me. I've always been afraid of children or having them like I would screw them up or something" he says.

"That would never happen, we're all here to help each other out" I say.

"Face it love, neither of us have any idea how to be a good father. Sebastian's died a long time ago and mine are dark wizards that would kill me the second they saw me." He said.

"So what, you're not your family Ominis. What matters is us, and our family. I really want this, but if we all aren't ready then none of us are." I said.

"Why don't we discuss this further after supper. Darling have you eaten today" Sebastian said. I shook my head no.

"Then let's change that" he said standing.

"Oh and you should probably put something on it's been horribly distracting that you didn't have clothes on this whole time" he said winking at me then let the room to make supper. Ominis smiled and he to left the room.

Only I didn't change. In fact I stayed in that towel out of spite and wanting. I wanted them just like I wanted a baby and maybe if I seduced them we could make that happen. Now that they know it shouldn't be surprising. I made my way down the stairs and sat at the table. Sebastian finally turned around to see me and nearly dropped dinner. He didn't say anything but I know what he was thinking. I ate the food, it was delicious, as usual. I made sure to be as seductive as possible. Sebastian's eyes were glued to me. Ominis was probably more oblivious being blind and all, but I'm sure he could sense the temptation from Sebastian and stare I was giving both of them.

When I finished I took my plate and walked to the sink making sure to swing my hips a little extra. I shifted the towel a little bit. Hiking it up a bit more. Then I went past them back to our room, I glance back to Sebastian I saw him whispering to Ominis. Then quickly I heard their footsteps behind me I made it to our bed and I dropped the towel to the floor at the foot of the bed. I got on top and waited for them. It wasn't long before they both barrel into the room and pounced on me. Perfect just what I wanted from them. Taking advantage of my naked form, hands everywhere and feeling every single inch of me. They attacked my neck with kisses and were sucking on it, making me moan. I ripped open their buttoned shirts and the button on their trousers.

Let just say it was going to be a long night for us all.
