A future so bright it's dazzling

The sound of paws coming toward her and the deep chuffs coming from her husband pulled her gaze up from where her aqua eyes were fixed on her stomach, grinning when she saw her handsome mate approaching her with what seemed to be a little gift - and also spotting the now familiar tiny skull resting on his head between his ears. Manea bit back a fit of laughter at her silly man and glanced down at the berries he presented her with and her tail gave a few pleased wags, reaching up to give him a grateful kiss. "Thank you, my darling, these are lovely." For someone that could be so brutal and lethal, he also had this softer side of himself that she absolutely adored. This pregnancy had brought even more of that out of him and she was enjoying letting him pamper and fawn over her and their unborn children. She loved the look on his face as he settled beside her, seemingly entranced by her round stomach that rested between them. "They're perfect as usual," she replied with a chuckle, her aqua eyes glimmering with love and affection as she watched him gently stroke across her belly with the biggest grin on his face.

She simply couldn't take him seriously with Piggy's skull sitting on his head like a tiny hat though so before she did anything else she reached over and plucked the skull off of him with a chuckle, giving a little shake of her head. She placed the skull on the ground beside the bowl of berries and then used one of her claws to pierce one of the berries, bringing it up to her lips to eat while she watched Alastor for a moment, snacking on the sweet treat he gave her. She saw his expression flicker for a moment, seeing those gears turn behind his obsidian eyes. Even though he had agreed to her terms and hadn't spoken a word of discontent over the decision since she did her best to reassure him over the Mendacium way of doing things, she knew that he still harbored at least a bit of sadness when it came to having to kill a portion of their children. Even she could admit that it wasn't something that she found great joy in, but it was simply a part of their lives in her mind. It was all she had ever known and a necessary part of ensuring that their child was given every chance possible in this world.

When his gaze shifted back up to hers she smiled, leaning toward him to catch his lips in a tender kiss. They didn't spare time for quiet, gentle moments like this very often, usually far too busy fucking each other's brains out to just lay and snuggle in the sun, but she savored these moments as much as every other minute she was allowed to spend with the man she loved. Her lips broke apart from his when on of the pups wriggled and kicked right where Alastor's paw was resting on her stomach and she blinked open her eyes as she grinned at him brightly, chuckling nuzzling her muzzle against his. "Seems like someone is eager to get out and meet you," she joked, lifting a paw to rest it over his on her stomach, her tail wagging and thumping against the ground as their pups continued to move and kick under their paws.
