The Demons Mark

The End or Just the Beginning

Two months. That's how long we have been married for. If I'm honest we are getting along fine as he is keeping up his end of his promise. I am relatively happy. I have free reign of the castle as long as there is one guard with me at all times. Thomas is his name. He is my permanent guard.

As of now we are walking along the hallways just for something to do. I'm running my hand along the wall watching my bare feet on the cold marble flooring while dodging tables with family heirlooms and black roses in vases. I still hate roses. He has given me a room full of arts supplies which I absolutely adore. On many occasions I have drawn portraits of him. Sometimes I feel as I'm in love but I'm so confused. We are starting to make compromises on stuff for example clothes. He bought me jeans and trackie bottoms! Only as long if I dress appropriately if we have guests. See compromise!

I lift my head up to look at the end of the hall when I am suddenly hit with a bout of dizziness and sickness. My hand skips from the wall as I slump against it to the floor with one hand on my stomach and the other to my mouth. Blackness eases around the edge of my vision. The last thing I hear before the darkness consumes me is Thomas shouting my name.

.....................................

A burning smell meets me as I wake up. The room is cold. Strange. My room is never cold. I open my eyes only to close them again because of the brightness. I groan and place my hand over my eyes. Someone apologises and the lifting dims. When I finally adjust I look around and take in what looks like and hospital room in the human world but I know I'm still in the castle.

"Hayden?" Daemon's worried voice meets my ears, "Can you tell me what happened?"

I looked at him and told him confused, "I'm not sure, one minute I was fine the next I'm passing out, what did the doctor say?"

He shakes his head and grabs my hands, "He refused to tell me until you awakened my love, are you sure your well?"

I smiled softly at him and went to answer but the doctor who just entered the room spoke first, "Your highness, I'm glad to see you are awake, do you both wish to know why you passed out?", we both nodded our heads, the doctor smiles, "Well I am pleased to be the first to congratulate you both on your first child!"

I gasped and looked at my stomach. Pregnant. I place my hand on my stomach and soon Daemons hand threads with mine over my stomach.

"Your six weeks along your highness, congratulations to you both!" He then left the room and us with our thoughts. I look at him and sigh in relief to his great high happy grin. He's happy! Thank the devil, he's happy!

"Pregnant, baby, we're pregnant! I love you so much, thank you!", he kept so thanking me and kissing my face over and over again.

He said he loved me. I gasp in shock and he pulls back with a confused look on his face, he give him an adoring look on my face then snuggle my face into his neck, "Oh Daemon, I love you too, so much!"

We smile at each other and then look at my stomach again.

Pregnant!
