The Illusion of Happiness: A We Happy Few FanFiction

Chapter Fifteen

They almost couldn't get through the door fast enough as Duncan pulled her into his arms. He pushed the door shut behind them before pulling off both their masks and tossing them to the table, along with his hat, as his lips locked with hers. He held her cheeks as he slowly pulled away. "I love you, Bianca!"
She touched his hands and tilted her head. "I love you too, Duncan!"
Their lips were once again locked.
Before long, his hands were all over her, touching and grabbing all the right places to make her moan in pleasure. He even grabbed her ass, making her press herself against him as she broke the kiss with a giggle.
She pulled away from him and grabbed his hand, leading him toward the stairs.
Half way up the stairs, he lifted her into his arms and carried her to the bedroom, gently laying her onto the bed. "I thought Joy was supposed to be the answer to happiness, but the happiness I feel with you is far more intense then the Joy!"
"That's real happiness!" She grabbed his hands and pulled him down onto her. "It's true love!" Her lips brushed his as she prepared to kiss him.
"Miss Bianca Hastings, will you be my wife?" He whispered, interrupting the kiss. "Will you marry me?"
She looked into his eyes and smiled. "Yes! Of course I will!"
He returned her smile. "Mrs. Bianca Banister. Hmm, I love the way that sounds!" He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small ring. He grabbed her hand and slipped it onto her finger. "Perfect fit!" He whispered. "I've been carrying that for a little while now."
She looked at it. "Oh, Duncan, it's beautiful!" She touched his cheek. "My husband!"
He grinned. "Mmm, baby, that sounded so good, it sent a shiver down my spine!"
She giggled before smiling seductively. "My handsome husband!"
"My beautiful wife!" He whispered as he leaned close. He pressed his lips to hers, locking them in a deep kiss.

Bianca looked at her reflection in the mirror as she leaned on her hands against the sink.
The nausea had been getting worse.
"Not only is my period late, but now I am getting morning sickness!" She thought. "I thought it was just because of the stress from all that's been happening but it's been five months!" She looked down at the reflection of her stomach in the mirror. "I can't be pregnant!" She lifted her shirt and touched her belly, gently gliding her hand across it. "Duncan is still taking Joy. Unless.. Blackberry lacks a contraceptive? Is that possible? No! It's different, yes, but... perhaps it just failed? That does happen!" She took a shaky breath. "I can't be... I shouldn't be, but I know I'm pregnant! I can feel the baby moving! What am I going to do?! How am I going to tell him this?! There haven't been children born since the breeder riots! Children are against the rules! I can hide! I can take Joy if I have to, but a child?! We cannot hide a child! At least, not forever!"
She gagged suddenly and ran to the toilet. Her stomach clenched as only liquid came up. She immediately flushed it down and returned to the sink to brush her teeth and rinse her mouth.
She then went into the bedroom and sat on the bed. She began to cry. "What is he going to do? What is he going to think?" She thought as she touched her stomach. "I can't hide this from him! He's going to be a father!"

She led him to the couch, gently pushing him down to a siting position. "Duncan... I need to tell you something before we eat dinner." She looked extremely nervous as she began to fiddle with her hair.
He grabbed her hands and smiled at her as he pulled her hands towards him. "What is it, darling? You can tell me anything, you know that."
She bit her lower lip and adjusted her hands to grab his, pulling then down to her stomach. "I'm...." She hesitated and held his hands to her stomach.
He lowered his eyes to her stomach as his hands relaxed and pressed against her a little more firmly. "What? You're what, my love?" He caressed her stomach. His lips parted as a gentle gasp of realization escaped him. "Bianca, are you pregnant?!"
"Ye..Yes." She whispered.
A large smile crossed his face as he looked back into her eyes.
She smiled back, relieved in his happiness.
"You're pregnant!?" He gushed as he took her into his arms suddenly. "I'm going to be a father!" He stated excitedly. "My darling, when did you find out?"
She took his cheeks. "A few weeks ago. The symptoms started five months ago."
"Five months ago?!"
She nodded slightly. "I'm sorry! I know I should have told you sooner."
"Why didn't you?"
"I didn't say anything because I wanted to be certain, and I was so scared. Duncan, what are we gonna do? This is against the rules!"
"I know, darling. It is as much against the rules as you not taking Joy and me not doing a thing about it, but I don't care! It will be our most precious secret!"
She released him as he pulled back slightly and lifted her shirt to caress her bare belly. "I'm going to be a father." He whispered, leaning close to her and kissing her just below her belly button.
She smiled and closed her eyes as he caressed her. It sent tingles down her spine and goosebumps across her skin. The way his hands touched her stomach was beyond intimate; it was unlike any way he's touched her before!
"How did this happen though?!" He spoke suddenly. "I know you're not taking Joy anymore, but I am still taking Blackberry. I also know the two are very different, but that shouldn't matter."
"Contraceptives can fail." She whispered. "It has been know to happen."
"Mmm, I know it has, and I don't care! My beautiful wife is going to give me a child!" He gushed. "I never thought my life would be so perfect!" He kissed her stomach again as his hands continued caressing her gently, following the roundness of her little baby bump.
She looked down at him.
He was looking up at her. He had so much emotion in his eyes. "How do you know for certain?"
She smirked. "How do I know that I'm not just getting fat?" She teased.
He chuckled and shook his head. "That's not what I asked, baby."
She giggled. "I know, handsome! I was only joking! I haven't had my period in five months. I thought I was just under a great deal of stress because of everything that happened, but then the morning sickness started a few weeks ago and it's been getting worse." She smiled deeply as she placed her hands on his. "And, I can feel the baby moving around inside me."
He smiled. "I cannot wait to fell that too! What does it feel like for you?"
"It's hard to describe. It's kind of like flutters or bubbles. Even sometimes like tiny pulses." She took his cheeks as she crawled onto him, straddling his thighs. "Duncan," She whispered, her lips brushing his. "I love you with all my heart."
He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her more firmly against him. "I love you too, Bianca. With every ounce of my being." He pressed his lips to hers, locking them in a deep and passionate kiss.
