Putting the cart before the horse

His reaction was better than she could have ever hoped. She got to watch as shock and disbelief struck him then his face shifted to a joy she wanted to capture forever. His bear hug caused her heart to race and her breath to leave her lungs, but she laughed anyway, tears of joy stinging her eyes as he pressed his lips to hers in a hot, passionate kiss. Azariah giggled against his lips and wrapped her forelimbs around him, overjoyed at the happiness she brought her fiance. Ulric pulled back from their kiss to look at her and she felt more tears flood her eyes and spillover at the sight of his tears, he was that happy? Gently, so gently he cupped her cheek in his paw and she looked into the depths of those silver eyes that she adored so much, the joy swimming there was overwhelming on its own. Her grin couldn't possibly get any wider, and she half-laughed, half-cried at his parroted response. "We are going to be parents!" The monochrome beauty stated excitedly, practically vibrating with joy, fear, anticipation, and excitement. There were more things swirling in her mind, and tiny flutters in her stomach, and a hundred new feelings going through her that she could never hope to sort them out.

The biggest was wonder at the miracle Ulric had given her. Azariah had thought herself barren, that it wasn't possible because...well, it had never happened with her captor.  It was such a relief to have an answer to that question, to know that she had made the right decision and had been blessed for it. Azariah found herself lost in his eyes, staring at him with that plain joy on her face, zoned out in the depths of his joy. Reaching forward, Azariah kissed her fiance and only paused for small breaths. Then she parted their lips and tucked her head into his chest and sobbed. Her wails would almost sound like grief, if not for the happy context of before. Lifting her head she tilted her head back and cried out as if she were dying, a howl and banshee scream at once, "I am so happy!!" After her declaration to the heavens, Azariah once again returned her head to the thick fur of her true love's chest and burrowed in. She couldn't help the flood of emotions that took her over, it was so much! Surely, her heart would burst from sheer love, happiness, and overwhelming joy! The moment was so surreal her head spun, and she was forced to cling to the solid frame of her soon-to-be-husband to keep her grounded.

Oh my god, this was really happening!
