A Promise Fulfilled

The moment that the news was delivered, Indigo's face shone like the sun. It was contagious and Asla smiled along with him. The man held her close and she held him in turn, wrapping herself up in his arms and encircling him as much as she could manage with her own. Tears had filled Indigo's eyes, but Asla had known that they would. She was giving him exactly what he had always wanted. She was giving him everything that he deserved. Indigo would finally have his family.
Indigo couldn't think of names at the moment. All that he could do was repeat her own name and Aslatiel laughed softly, nuzzling into the giant brute's chest. It didn't matter what anyone else thought. There was no way that they could be wrong when everything about being together felt so very right. They had been born together and together, they would remain. Forever. Always. "It's always been you, Indigo," the fae whispered to the huge man. "You, Satira, Arcturus and whoever these will be," she gently brought his paw to rest upon her slightly rounded stomach, "You're all that I need in the world."
Aslatiel adjusted her body, laying partially on her back, partially on her side. It made it easier for Indigo's paw to rest upon her abdomen. She thought about names. "What abouuuuut... Lapis? Cobalt?" The fae's tone was playful as she made suggestions, wondering what he might come up with as well.
