These quiet nights were a blessing for the pregnant Snow Queen. The child that slumbered beneath her heart took quite a bit of her energy to carry. Not that she minded, of course. This child —- her son or daughter —- was precious to her ; a reminder that even in the darkness, there is light. If she became tired more easily, then so be it as long as she would give birth a healthy child. & thankfully, from what the midwives told her, she was on the right path. So she savored evenings such as this when tenderness reigned supreme over lust & hate. While she enjoyed taking her pleasures from her husband & seeing him undone, she loved these nights more.
They didn’t happen often enough.
She had been close to drifting off to a deeper slumber when she felt his warm hands and lips on her belly. Hypersensitive. Yes, she has always been hyper- sensitive to his touch so it was no surprise when she was pulled out of her colorful dreams. & when she heard his voice, her heart burst.
Instead of opening her eyes, she moaned softly, feigning sleep. Regardless of what he said, he loves. & she wanted nothing more than to hear what else he would say to their child that he would not say to her.
{ ♕ }; It was an irresistible pull that tugged insistently on the strings of his heart. All the evil he was born with and the control he fought hard for seemed to come undone when the sensitive nerves of his hand felt the baby stir inside of her belly. And despite her movement, he could not take his hand from her. Hans needed the attachment, needed to be close at all times. Even if it meant showing that affection and tangling his fingers with Elsa's. Hans realized he would do anything for his unborn child and protecting his mother meant protecting his child. The King was unsure whether this was love or the natural instinct to protect what is yours. That animalistic nature that came with being a mammal. He was not used to tenderness and sincerity. All that he had known was deceit and hatred and Elsa was no exception.
He rested his head lightly on her belly, inhaling his wife's scent and slipping his hands beneath the silk to touch her bare skin. Slowly beginning to trace circles around her bellybutton.
