chapter 24

"Yato, my child ," King Dorian said with a warm smile, kneeling down to meet the young prince's gaze. "Guess what? You're going to be a big brother!"

Yato's eyes widened with delight, his face lighting up with excitement. "A big brother?" he exclaimed, unable to contain his joy. "That's amazing! I'll have a sibling to play with!"

King Dorian chuckled at Yato's enthusiasm, ruffling his hair affectionately. "Yes, indeed," he replied fondly. "You'll have a little brother or sister to share all your adventures with."

Yato's heart swelled with happiness at the thought of having a sibling to share his days with. "I can't wait!" he exclaimed, his excitement bubbling over. "When will they come, Uncle Dorian?"

"In a few months, little one," King Dorian replied, his voice filled with warmth. "But until then, let's make the most of our time together and get ready to welcome the newest member of our family."

.....
As Neon entered her sixth month of pregnancy, King Dorian became even more attentive to her needs, ensuring her comfort and well-being at every turn. One particular concern of his was ensuring that Neon didn't sleep in a bad posture that could potentially harm their unborn child.

Every night, Dorian made it a point to tenderly guide Neon into a comfortable sleeping position, gently supporting her belly to alleviate any strain. With loving care, he would wrap his arms around her protectively, holding her close as they drifted off to sleep together.

One evening, as Dorian tenderly cradled Neon in his arms, he leaned in to place a soft, intimate kiss upon her lips. "You mean everything to me, Neon," he whispered, his voice filled with love and devotion. "I'll always be here to protect you and our little one."

Neon smiled warmly, her heart swelling with gratitude and affection for the man who had become her rock throughout her pregnancy. "I feel so blessed to have you by my side, Dorian," she murmured, returning his kiss with equal tenderness. "Thank you for taking such good care of us."

I have something to tell you Dorian As Neon poured out her heart to Dorian, she recounted the vivid dreams she had experienced back on Earth-dreams where Dorian, the man she now loved deeply, was depicted as a vengeful figure, seeking retribution for Yato's death by destroying the entirety of Infernia. She explained how these dreams had initially filled her with fear and apprehension, making her wary of Dorian when she first arrived in Snowvale.

"And now, I can't imagine my life without you, Dorian," Neon confessed, her voice trembling with emotion. "You're the man I've ever loved, the closest I've ever been to anyone. But it terrifies me to think that one day I might wake up and find myself back in my old world, without you."

Dorian listened attentively, his brow furrowing with concern as he struggled to comprehend the depth of Neon's fears. "Neon, I may not fully understand everything you're telling me," he began softly, "but one thing I do know is that my love for you transcends any world or reality. No matter what happens, I will always love you."

Moved by his words, Neon felt a surge of love and gratitude swell within her. "I've never had the courage to tell you all this before," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "I was afraid you wouldn't understand."

Dorian reached out to cup her face tenderly, his eyes filled with unwavering affection. "Neon, I may not have all the answers, but what I do know is that I want to spend every moment of my life with you," he declared earnestly.

Leaning in, Dorian pressed a passionate kiss to Neon's lips,Dorian's passionate kiss ignited a fire within Neon, erasing all her fears and doubts as she surrendered to the moment, pulling him closer and deepening the kiss with fervor. In that intoxicating embrace, Neon realized that fear was not the answer; even if she were to leave this beautiful place and return to her old life on Earth someday, she would always cherish the memories of the love she shared with Dorian-the love she never thought she would find.

Breaking the kiss, Neon found herself breathless, her heart pounding with emotion as she leaned in to kiss Dorian's forehead tenderly. "I love you so much that it hurts sometimes," she confessed, her voice filled with sincerity and longing.

Dorian was taken aback by her words, his heart swelling with love and affection for the woman before him. With a soft smile, he pulled her close, enfolding her in his embrace. "You always amuse me, darling, with your actions and words," he murmured, his voice filled with adoration.
