My Aquaman (a.u)

Chapter 34

I told him some of what happened and reassured him that Batman came to my rescue before anything happened. He got angry but didn't act out on it. He just pulled me to him, my body still acting weird and tensed up, but I didn't stop him.

We had moved over to the bed and he had pulled me up on his lap. "Those assholes are dead" He says lowly. "They maybe are, I don't know what happened to them. Can we talk about something else now?" I reply him and start to bite the inside of my cheek to keep from thinking back at the matter, I look up at him to see that he is smiling. "Yeah, we can talk about something else" He answers back before pulling us both down on the bed.

"What time is it?" I ask and lift my head just enough for me to look out the window. It was pitch black outside. I had slept the whole day away after being stuck on plane for over 12 hours, at least my head felt better now than earlier. Before he answers, I climb over and pull the phone out of my jacket from the floor. It was 3 am and I was now fully awake, this jetlag would be the end of me if this would go on for much longer.

"Do you wanna go back to sleep?" I ask him, placing my phone down at the table next to the bed. "Not if you need me" he answers and places his arms behind his head. "Well, I don't want to ruin your sleeping habits, you should get some sleep" I say before getting up and start walking towards the bathroom. "I am taking a shower; I probably stink after that plane ride" I say and turn my head giving him a smile.

I hear him chuckle before closing the door behind me. My body was so ready for a shower right now, even though I probably should have done it before falling asleep. My plan was to maybe go back to work tomorrow and help Palina, but that was probably not a good idea when I was up at night and sleeping during the day.

The water did wonders and as I looked at myself the mirror after I noticed something that I hadn't seen until now. My stomach had grown a little, not much but enough for it to be visible. "I hope you will look like your dad someday" I say while my hand went over the skin. I kept admiring the little change for a bit before walking back out to Arthur.

I forgot to pick up some clothes with me when walking into the bathroom, so I needed to get to my bag. Arthur had gone back to sleep and the room was now filled with his snoring. I smiled as I picked up some clean clothes from the bag and got dressed.

Suddenly my book came in to view and I remembered that I hadn't read it in a while. I picked it up before walking over to the chair. It would be nice to bury myself in a book for once and perhaps it would tire me out.

I must have fallen asleep somehow, because my neck was killing me and a dim light was shining through the window, I couldn't have been sleeping for very long, Arthur was still asleep on the bed and now more than ever I wanted to climb into bed and go to sleep,

I did just that and placed the book down on the table beside me. Walking over to the bed I rubbed my sore neck and stretched before climbing over Arthur and under the duvet. I suddenly hear him chuckle.

"Did I wake you?" I ask, even though I already knew the answer to it. "Yeah, but it's okay, because now I can be creepy and watch you sleep" he teases, and I hit him in the stomach before turning around to face him. 

"I want to show you something" I say and turn over on my back. I lift the front of my t-shirt and expose my stomach. It was even noticeable while lying down. He looks down at my stomach and then places his hand on the little bump.

"So, this is actually real huh?" He says while his hand is rubbing my little bump. "Yeah, this is real" I reply smiling. I looked up to see him smiling too, looking so handsome while doing so. Even though I liked my brooding man, I loved seeing him smile.

I suddenly start yawning and he chuckles lowly as he props himself up on his elbow. "I think you should get some sleep as well" He says grinning at me. "Yeah I think I will" I say cuddle up against him, feeling his warmth against me. I did miss this; only happy memories flooded my mind now as I did this.

He starts stroking my back and I smile wide. "Hmm" He suddenly says, and I look up. "What is it?" I ask still laying close to him. "Well we kinda need to go groceries shopping later" He continues, and I start laughing again. "Sometimes I wonder how you manage to survive on you own" I laugh, and he sighs. "Well give me a couple hours and then we'll..." I continue, but I somehow manage to drift off to sleep before finishing the sentence.
