His Heart

Chapter 9

I was in the bathroom the entire morning. Howl was trying to get into the bathroom, but I didn't want him in there. It was at least until two hours I came out. I was sweating a little when I met Howl's arms.

"Hey, is everything ok?"

"Yeah, something must not have settled with my stomach."

"Ok. Wanna get the store ready?"

"Today's my day off."

"Oh. What would like to do?"

"Anything you'd like to do."

"How bout we go see a movie? A new action thriller came out."

"Sure."

I grabbed his hand and we headed out. We got to the cinemas and headed inside. People were gawking at Howl, as I moved a little closer to him. He wrapped his arm around my shoudler, drawing me in to his side.

"Don't worry, Y/N, soon everyone will know you're my girl and not just a friend."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"How positive?"

He turned and faced towards me, eyes were still staring. His hands were on my cheeks and he pulled me in and placed his lips a little forcefully on mine. I pulled away and hugged him, smiling. I knew if I pushed him that would happen. We walked into the room and took our seats, some people were talking about what just happened. Howl placed the bowl of popcorn between us, getting ready for the movie.

After the movie ended, we headed outside and got lunch. We went to a local resturaunt. After that we headed down to the market to see my brother and Marcus. They were happily working together as husband and husband. Some of their customers didn't know they were married to each other, sone people knew, but didn't tell. They knew my brother for too long that they always asked for his permission to tell certain people. 

"Hi, Jeff!"

"Hi, Y/N. Howl."

"Jeff. How are things?"

"Good. You?"

"Good."

I noticed that Marcus wasn't there, "Where's Marcus?"

"He's at home sick. Poor thing. My baby sick."

I looked over at Howl, I could tell he was thinking the same thing when I was in the bathroom this entire night. I needed to check that out, I was getting worried. My stomach was upset the entire day. 

"Howl, I'm going to be right back, I need to do some personal things."

"Alright my darling."

I headed down an alley, and headed to the nearest hospital. I was in there for at least an hour before some one got me. Then it was a half an hour before I was given the results and I headed back to the market. I found Howl on the dock, swinging his legs as he looked down at his reflection. I headed towards him and sat next to him.

"Everything ok, Howl?"

"Is everything ok with you?"

"I need to tell you something."

He looked over at me and I met his light blue eyes. I took his hand and held it in mine.

"This is sudden news, but I think you'll be alright."

I placed his hand on my stomach and smiled at him, "You're going to be a father, Howl."

His eyes looked like they were going to pop out of his head. Tears filled his eyes. He smiled and brought me into a tight hug. So tight we almost fell into the lake. He then pulled away and smashed his lips onto mine. After a moment, I pulled away and smiled at him.

"That's great, Y/N!"

Jeff came over and kneeled down to out level, "Well? What's all the hubbub over here?"

"Jeff, you're going to an uncle!"

"HOLY SHIT! Y/N! OH MY GOODNESS! THAT'S GREAT!"

Jeff walked away and Howl turned towards me, some sorrow in his eyes.

"Howl, everything ok?"

"Am I going to be a good father? I mean with me turning into a bird, do you think our child will like me like that?"

"Howl, you will be a terrific father. There's no doubt for that."

Howl smiled and brought me into another hug, "And you're going to be a wonderful mother."

~3 Months~

My stomach now showed that I was pregnant. I told my father as soon as I found out, I went with Howl and we told him. He was extatic and told me that if mother was here, she would be proud. Howl and I got the room together, getting prepared to give the baby a nice room. As the uncomfortablness settled in ever so slowly, I found myself sitting by the fire with Calcifer.

"Do you know the gender yet?"

"Not yet. Not until my 5 month check up."

"I'm so excited. Well I'm also not. Baby hands are going to try to grab me. Y/N, please put some guard rails up."

"Don't worry. Howl is baby proofing the castle when I'm 8 months."

"That'd be so great. I'm so happy for you guys. Howl is really looking forward to this."

"I am too. Are you, Calcifer?"

"Totally."

I smiled and Howl came downstairs with a blue shirt on today. 

"Blue today?"

"Yep. Yesterday was a light blue. Tomorrow is pink."

I smiled and motioned him to come for a hug. He was so goofy when it came to things like this, well it is his first child. I'm excited for this baby.

~9 months~

Howl was resting his head on my stomach as I sat on the couch with him. I felt some kicking movements from my stomach, that was when a really hard kick came from my stomach. Howl jolted upwards, holding his ear.

"Sorry, Howl."

"Y/N."

I was then frozen with fear, it's time."

"Howl."

"Yes?"

"It's time."

"What?"

"It's time."

Howl picked me up and he ran out the door. We headed down to the hospital and we were taken in an instant. They got me all ready and Howl was right next to me the entire time. Pain was sweeping through my entire body as the baby was trying to get out. I was squeezing Howl's hand, which was beet red now. 

"I'm sorry, Howl."

He kissed my forehead and looked deeply and affectionate into my eyes, "It's ok, love."

~3 hours later~

I was holding my baby girl in my arms. Howl was sitting on the bed right next to me. She had Howl's eyes and smile. While she has my small hands. She was smiling at both me and Howl.

"Hello," he said softly.

"Welcome to the world, Elizabeth," I said.

"Elizabeth Roxanne Pendragon. We will love you for days on end," Howl said.

I smiled up at him and placed my lips onto his. I have my entire life complete. A loving husband who gave me a daughter who I could love with all my heart like I love Howl.
