Our Magical Adventures Together Meliodas X Chubby Pregnant Reader

Ch. 3 When Life Gives You Demons.

(Y/n)'s POV

I waited in the tavern by the window after they left. Sighing, my eyes followed the short blondes strides away from me. I wiped off the 'fog' my breath created, and stood. "Time to go hunting." I remarked. I grabbed a sword that was laying around in our shared room, and crept by Hawk, then walked out. This was going to be a looongg time away from him. Stalking into the wooded area I sighed-again.

I found a few bunnies and had walked back to the tavern, and skinned them quickly, thankful that Ban and Meliodas knew how to teach properly. I finished what I was doing and started a fire and started cooking. "We could have leftovers tomorrow..." I hummed, stirring the cut up bunnies. Once I checked them and made sure they were not undercooked, I got a pot and magiced up a bit of water, then put the bunny in it and cut up some nearby vegetables. Cooking the stew was easy, and I had it done momentarily. I smiled, proud of my accomplishment. And I had it all done in about 15 minutes. I ate my small amount, eyes fixed on the beautiful colors of reds and pinks that adorned the sky, purples and blues mixing with them. I knew it'd be late soon, so as I packed up the remaining food into containers as I ate the rest of my food. Placing it into the storage area, I plopped onto the barstool I always sat at when I accompanied Meliodas downstairs. I looked at my hands, deep in thought. "I bet Elizabeth has his eye, but he's with me because I'm pregnant..." I mumbled. Hormones acting up really has never been my thing. Wondering about my time here and the things it's taught me, kept me from noticing the two males that stood outside the door. I smiled slightly, very slightly, at a song that played it's way into my mind to help ease my anxiety. Upon looking up I gasped at the eyes that gleamed at me from only a few feet away.
"You're coming with us." The shorter of the two demanded.
"Hey... Stop scaring her. He means: Will you come with us? It's so much easier than forcing you to come." I jumped out of my seat as they walked towards me, moving with a fast-ish speed, I ended a bit further away and to the side, feet spread from me skidding to a stop.
"You'll have to make me, and I won't be easy." I growled. I knew who they were, my friends on media's always talked about the "'hot' Zeldris".
"Okay then." Zeldris made a charge at me, but stopped with a light gagging sound as he was picked up and sat by his older brother.
"No. Did you forget the reason we came for her?" He asked sternly, before turning his head to me. "We don't really wish to hurt you. You have something important to us." I shook my head, eyes narrowed. "I really don't want to hurt you. Come with us and no one gets hurt." He spoke sharply. I opened my mouth to retort when Zeldris's hand shot out to the side, opposite to Estarossa, and a purple flame shot out engulfing the bar counter where I had been sitting moments ago. My mouth shot shut and I nodded a little, not really wanting to stay in the tavern with fumes that could harm my child.
"Good." Zeldris growled and Esta walked out motioning me after. My eyes watered, wishing that Meliodas was there, protecting me. The only time I let him go do something nice... I'm placed in danger.... I wiped my eyes sniffling and walked out, but out of the corner of my eye, I watched Zeldris set the rest of the tavern on fire. The place Meliodas cherished. All his hard work..... I couldn't hold in the tears that spilled from my eyes as I realized that it was all my fault. Estarossa picked me up and he rose off the ground, flying towards an unknown area. I cried, I didn't know what to do, and all I wanted was to know I'd be fine. That my baby would be fine. Hiccuping a bit, I was sat down.
"She's not that pretty." Deriri snickered, but I fell to my knees not caring.
"I think she'll be easy to keep in our sights. I mean, I can tell she'll do anything to not harm her child." I narrowed my eyes at Galand's statement, and the laughs that eroded from the others afterwards.
"Enough!" Zeldris's voice boomed over everyone, cause immediate silence. I looked up when his feet stopped in front of me. I gulped as he raised his foot, and covered my stomach, moving my head in the way. "You need to know why we have you." I looked up, shiveres racking down my spine. "Don't worry, once were done we'll kill you, unless he kills you first." He sneered, pointing to my stomach. "You have a very powerful child inside you, he will be the new Demon King once old enough. But we want to make sure he's well for the next three months." I raised a brow.
"Three months? Demon King?" I laughed dryly. "What's so powerful? And you can't possibly know if it's a boy." I snarled. The raven haired male's face formed into a scowl.
"His father is the potential Demon King heir! No matter how much I hate him..." He mumbled the last part. "Tell me you know Meliodas's past." His sneer returned. "A no good Demon, who's a disgrace to the Demon name. His smile is fake, and he can't possibly love. Demon's aren't capable." His eyes almost seemed distant in the end, like he was trying to believe it wasn't possible. "He's just using you." He spat. My heart broke, I knew deep down it wasn't true, but still hearing it hurt. The idea that it could be true, just didn't feel real.
"Shut up! Shut up!" I yelled, standing shakily. "You don't know a damn thing about him! You only say such things because you despise him and love to make others leave him! He loves me, and I know it! He's caring and wants our baby to grow up happily, and away from the drama of you demons! I'm trying to be strong for him, because he'll get here, but just know: you're the worst scum in the world for lying like that!" My breathing became jagged from the yelling, but I couldn't stand watching him talk about MY Meliodas in such a way. His leg moved to kick me, but he was thrown to the ground before he could. Meliodas stood, foot on Zeldris's back.
"Hurting a pregnant woman? That's scum." Meliodas spat, but his voice sounded darker, more threatening. I couldn't sort through my feelings. I felt scared, he could do anything to hurt anyone. Relieved, I was hoping he'd come. In awe, I never paid attention to his 'dark points' in the anime. But I also felt a bit turned on by his strength, his power. I blushed, lost in thought, until I was picked up by someone. Looking over my shoulder I saw Deriri smirking.
"I don't mind hurting you, you're a girl after all." My eyes widened in surprise and horror.
"Don't. You. Dare!" Meliodas came over kicking her into the air, hitting her. I fell from her grip and landed into Meliodas's open arms. His eyes were still black-ish red, but I swear I saw his 'natural' gleam. "I got you..." He whispered, holding me tightly while he whipped around and kicked another demon away. I looked around and noticed that many of the 9 remaining commandments were down, putting effort into gaining strength. I held onto him and took in his sent while he rose into the air and flew away with me. I wanted to forget this, and I hoped for nothing but peace from then..... But as we all know, a demon doesn't give up.
