Power, Love, and Promise (COMPLETED)

I Feel Like A Whale

As the soft light of morning filtered through the sheer curtains, the manor was bathed in a warm glow, the garden outside vibrant with colors that brought Selena's vision to life. The delicate fragrance of blooming flowers wafted in through the open window, mingling with the fresh scent of the morning.

Selena stood in front of the ornate mirror, brushing her hair and admiring her reflection. She gently rubbed her growing baby bump, now clearly showing at 16 weeks, the curve a beautiful reminder of the life growing inside her. Her heart swelled with a mix of love and excitement as she contemplated the future, picturing the nursery they had begun planning.

In the quiet of the room, she caught a glimpse of Frey, still nestled under the plush duvet, his features softened in sleep. The memory of their busy months together filled her mind—how they had turned their new home into a sanctuary and how Frey had devoted himself to supporting her through her pregnancy.

As Frey slowly awoke, he propped his head on his palm, blinking away the remnants of sleep. His eyes lit up as they fell upon her. "Good morning, my beautiful wife," he murmured, his voice thick with warmth and affection.

"Good morning, husband," Selena replied, her lips curving into a smile that mirrored the light in her eyes.

Frey swung his legs over the side of the bed, the sheets slipping down his toned back. He rose, his movements fluid and graceful, and approached her with a tender look in his gaze. Wrapping his arms around her from behind, they stood together, both entranced by their reflections.

"Good morning to you too, little one," he whispered, kissing Selena's cheek softly, his breath warm against her skin. He placed his hand on her belly, feeling the gentle swell beneath his palm. It was a moment filled with love and connection, an unspoken bond that deepened between them.

Kneeling in front of her, Frey brought his lips to her belly, planting soft kisses along the curve, each touch infused with reverence and joy. "I can't wait to meet you," he said, his voice muffled against her skin, as if speaking to their unborn child. The sound sent a shiver of delight through Selena, and she reached down, running her fingers through his hair.

"You're already such a good dad," she said, her voice soft and filled with adoration. Frey looked up at her, his eyes sparkling with emotion, and she could see the love he held for both her and their child reflected in his gaze.

"We're in this together," he replied, rising back to his feet and pulling her into an embrace. "And I will always be here for you both." The warmth of his body enveloped her, a protective cocoon that made her feel cherished.

They stood there for a moment, simply holding each other, lost in their shared dreams and hopes. The world outside continued to wake, but in their little haven, time felt suspended, a perfect moment just for them.

Frey pulled back slightly to gaze at Selena, a teasing grin dancing on his lips. "You're getting even more beautiful now, wifey," he said playfully, planting a soft kiss on her nose. Selena couldn't help but chuckle, warmth flooding her cheeks at his sweet words.

"Anything on your calendar today, love?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Frey thought for a moment, then replied, "I think I've finished everything for now. Jason, my assistant at the office, will let me know if they need me there. But as long as he doesn't call, I'll be right here next to you."

A smile bloomed on Selena's face, her heart swelling with gratitude for his devotion. "Do you want to meet the baby?" she asked, a hint of excitement in her voice.

Frey gasped, his eyes widening with surprise. "How can we meet the baby?"

Selena caressed his cheek tenderly, her touch sending a rush of affection through him. "Well, I haven't taken any ultrasounds yet. I wanted to do it when I was a month pregnant back then, but I thought it was too early since I hadn't seen my bumpy belly yet. So I thought it'd be nice to do it when my belly was showing more. So, I guess today is the day?"
