Kalliope held her breath while she waited for her mate's answer. It felt like time was standing still. It might have only been a few seconds, but she was desperate for him to say anything, good or bad. "Gods above..." Was that a good thing? Bad? She wished so desperately that she could see his face. Then she could see his speechless expression and his huge grin. Then there would be no question that he was happy and excited about this news. It wasn't till he said out loud what great news it was that she felt that worrisome weight fall off her shoulders. She breathed a sigh of relief and a similarly wide grin fell into place on her muzzle. She giggled happily and her tail brushed against the ground rapidly when he started covering her in licks and kisses. She was still nervous about being pregnant and what might happen in the future, but Castiel was happy and that was all she really needed. It still baffled her to know that someone could love her like this. Her flaws had never been an obstacle for him and for that she was so, so grateful. She returned some licks and kisses all over his face before she leaned into him a bit so she could nuzzle her face into the fur of his neck, finding comfort in his warmth and scent. Their relationship had gone so fast that she could barely keep up, but they only had a finite number of years to spend with each other. She didn't want to waste it. "I'm so glad you're happy, Castiel. I didn't doubt that you would be, it just makes me feel better to know you're excited," she said with a smile as she pulled back from his neck enough to kiss his cheek again. "I'm still kind of scared..." she admitted with a moment of hesitation. She hated showing any kind of weakness, but she had told herself that if they were going to do this together then she was going to have to let him in completely. "I'm just worried that something will go wrong. I mean I'm not young any more. I know how much harder these things get with age." Her ears folded back against her head at the thought and she leaned her head into his neck again. "It's going to be okay, right? We're all going to be okay?" |
