Fury

A Beginning

I had expected to be woken up in the warm embrace of Xiezhi arms but instead my own wings had enveloped me into a cozy cocoon. What the hell? I opened my eyes further to be met with Wang's pair staring back at me.

"Good morning baby" he beamed at me, stroking my left wing lovingly, as I groaned ready to turn away from his blinding smile. The sun reflecting off his perfect white teeth was too much for my poor eyes.

"Why are you so damn happy? Why is it so damn bright in here? I'm still exhausted. Why are my wings out? What time is it?" I asked squirming away from his grasp.

"It's noon!" Jackson laughed only answering one of my many questions, "Joy left about 2 hours ago but she'll be back soon".

I nodded and sat up ready to contract my wings back into my current form, but Jackson stopped me, "Don't. You look beautiful".

"Flattery will get you everywhere sir" I grinned and stretched out, my wings stretching too almost hitting him in the face.

"I bet" he laughed, "What were you dreaming about? You were mumbling in your sleep".

"I think I was dreaming about flying. It felt so real, like so vivid, I swear I could feel the wind hitting me in the face. Which explains why my wings are out but that hasn't happened to me in a while" I answered, "What was I saying?"

"You were saying stuff like be careful and little ones" He grinned suddenly, "Were you dreaming about our sons?"

I scrunched up my face, "I don't know. I think so. There were more wings next to me, small ones and you were below me. Well, below us, I guess".

Jackson smiled so hard I felt his face might split, "I can't wait to be a dad. Let's work on that now".

"No way Wang! Back off! I'm hungry" I said.

"You're what?" Jackson asked me, looking both shocked and amused.

What did I just say? I'm hungry? I paused for a few seconds ignoring Jackson who had now gotten off the bed and was moving his arms and legs around all weird. I was hungry? My kind doesn't get hungry. We don't need to eat like them so why the hell was I feeling whatever the hell this was? Jackson finally stopped whatever he was doing and plopped back on the bed beside me smiling even wider now. I was genuinely worried his face would crack in two.

"You're pregnant!" He exclaimed.

"I'M WHAT?" I screeched. There was no way. Athyrion said we would have kids in the future not now.

"You're definitely pregnant" he placed his head on my stomach, "Hey little guys! It's daddy".

I pushed him off me contracting my wings into my back and moved towards the bathroom, "Don't get excited. This has to be a side effect of whatever little spell Athyrion did to change me. There's no way in hell I'm pregnant".

"Don't spoil my joy, succubus" Jackson teased with a smile as I rolled my eyes.

There was no way in hell I was going to be a mother right now. No way! But then an animalistic sound came from the abdominal area of my current form.

"I heard that!" Jackson shouted, "I'm going to order room service".

"Shouldn't you be getting back to work? New York crime doesn't stop Chief" I asked changing the subject.

"I took a leave of absence" Jackson replied, and I came out of the bathroom with toothbrush in hand. He did what?

"When? Why didn't you tell me?" I questioned.

"I was supposed to be back already, but I called last minute and told them I need some time away. I'm not ready to come back yet" He answered.

"Are you okay? Is this about what happened with Mark?" I was concerned now.
