~Part 10~

Chapter 10- Questions *I'm sure you have seen these so many time you can guess what they're gonna say so..I'm gonna shorten them to (*WARNING*)

                          "S-sir Meliodas... they're going to wonder why we are so late..." Elizabeth blushed as Meliodas refused to release her. He wanted to stay in bed and hold her just a while longer. His nose was pressed against her well-toned stomach and he was nuzzling it tenderly as he kept his arms firmly wrapped around her waist.

"What's with all this 'sir' stuff, still?" he mumbled against her skin lazily. "I'm your mate, Elizabeth. Why won't you just say my name like normal?" He breathed in her scent again, reveling in that tiny hint of spice that indicated her pregnancy. Goddesses, it was an addicting scent.

"W-well, i-it's... habit." she admitted with a small blush, giving in to his desire to stay in bed longer. She found herself playing with a lock of his blond hair with a small smile. "It just... means I respect you, you know."

"I know. But I'd rather hear you just say 'Meliodas.'" he smirked up at her. "Besides, don't you think our child will be confused if its mama is always calling its papa 'sir?'" he chuckled at her adorable blush that quickly turned into a smile as she placed a hand on her stomach next to his head.

"You're right." she smiled softly at him. "I will try to break the habit then... Meliodas."

"Good." he grinned, sitting up slightly and crawling up her body. He captured her lips in a sweet kiss before hopping out of bed to get dressed. Elizabeth followed his lead, but paused to look down at her still-flat stomach. She couldn't feel its energy yet; she hadn't even missed her first period yet... but Meliodas assured her that she was definitely pregnant. And she couldn't be happier. Nothing could possibly make her happier than being with Meliodas and carrying his child. She barely even knew of its existence but she was already in love with the child growing within her.

"When should we tell the others?" she asked her mate softly. He glanced at her as he clasped his scabbard around his shoulder.

"Whenever you want to, Elizabeth. Though I would prefer to keep it a secret as long as we can."

"Why's that?"

"There will be people who try to use you and the baby against me, Elizabeth. It's not an 'if' situation. It's a 'when.'" He told her honestly with a small frown.

"But surely we can trust the other sins?"

"I want to be cautious around Merlin and Gowther. They're both known for using underhanded means to get what they want." Meliodas warned her. "Though... they'd mostly just want information, honestly. I really don't think they'd hurt you or the baby. But it's always better to be cautious." He approached her now and gave her a chaste kiss. "But it's your decision, Elizabeth. Whatever you decide, I will be right beside you all the way." She smiled at him and pondered it for a few moments.

"Maybe... we will keep it a secret just a bit longer." she hummed, placing a hand on her stomach lovingly. "Perhaps until after the wedding?"

"If that's what you want." Meliodas smiled at her, taking her hand and kissing it softly. He figured she would want to wait until after the wedding, anyways. They were planning it for two months from now, just a small ceremony to make it official to everyone else. The king wanted them to have the wedding in the castle and have it as a large ceremony the way royals do... but Elizabeth insisted on a small, intimate wedding with just her family and the sins as witnesses. Surprisingly, her father relented. Anything for his youngest daughter.

"Come on, now, they're going to wonder why we're so late." Meliodas grinned, using her words against her. She giggled at this and let her mate lead her out of their room and down into the tavern, ready to start the night off with great food, great music, and great friends.
