[For Lockheed] Expecting the Unexpected

They had their little schedule - Dejah left her bedroom window open enough for Lockheed to enter if he decided to visit her in the night, or whenever he pleased, really. So it should have been no surprise to Dejah Thoris when her monthly bleeding didn't come. Nor should it have been a surprise when she took a home test and the results came through clear: Positive.

Pregnant.

She sat on the side of the bathtub, staring at the test in her hand. Hardly believing the clear facts that were before her.

Lockheed nodded happily at the thought of tasty human food, and he did wonder if Dejah had tried pizza before. Plus it could mean they might smuggle up close and go from there.

He kissed her back before speaking. "Yeah, I think that sounds perfect, my dear princess."

Dejah came to her apartment and opened the door. Immediately she went to the kitchen and explored the menu drawer for the right menu.

"You can go to the living room and get comfortable if you like," Dejah reached up and gently rubbed Lockheed's neck.

Her dragon partner cooed happily at the attention and nodded. "Sure thing Dejah, let me know if yeh need any help with anything, my love."

He moved into the living room and settled him on the sofa closest the television, excited at the prospect of spending the evening with his beautiful inpregnated new wife.

Dejah finally found the right menu and came in to settle on the sofa next to him. She opened up the menu and set it on the coffee table.

"Here's the menu, pick out what you'd like and I'll place the order," as she sat down she again let her hand slide over his back.

Once Dejah had settled herself on the sofa Lockheed curled up close to her, again enjoying her hands on his scaled body as he glanced at the menu she had brought to him.

"Ok, have yeh tried Pizza before? Figured yeh and me could share one together with some fries."

Dejah shook her head. She'd smelled it while walking in the streets, she'd seen people eat it. But Dejah had never tried it herself.

"I haven't, no. But that sounds lovely to me. I've seen different toppings on pizza, what do you recommend?"

"Oh, then yeh in for a treat! And yeh should probably get something with lots of meat, maybe onions or olives?" He patted her lap gently with a paw. "Whatever yeh feel good with, anyway."

"Mmm, I'm fine with the meats, but I never really cared for onions. But, if you want it, we can get it," Dejah smiled as she reached for the phone and continued to briefly glance over the menu to see if there was anything else she wanted.

The dragon clambered up onto her lap once she was sat down once more. "Just go for whatever yeh want, my love, I won't mind. Though best not to let me have anything too spicy." Past things like curry had led to rather fiery reactions from him by mistake, and he didn't want to burn any of Dejah's lovely belongings.

It was instinctual now to drag her fingers along his neck and down his back. Dejah nodded in acknowledgment of his request before she dialed the number on the menu. She ordered a large pepperoni and bacon pizza with extra cheese and an order of fries, per her lover's request. When she hung up the phone she looked down to him.

"Won't be long, half an hour at most."

Lockheed in return stretched himself out so that her fingers would have the maximum area with which to stroke his neck and back carefully. Once Dejah had finished her order he glanced up at his lover and smiled.

"Good to know, means we have time to relax together. I'm still so excited yeh and me are gonna have kids. I hope they treat yeh right like I do."

Dejah smiled and leaned down to kiss the top of his head.

"I'm sure they'll be wonderful, perfect even. They'll treat us both right, I'm sure, daddy."

He blushed slightly at both the kiss and compliment, leaning up to return it carefully.

"It's gonna be interesting, being a daddy. Yeh think at my age I would have been one by now. But I'm sure yeh right, they'll have the best of both of us."

Dejah stroked him lovingly with one hand while the other rested on her rounded belly.

"I can't wait to be a mother, especially when the father of my children is as wonderful as you."

He still marvelled at her gradually increasing belly, especially with the knowledge it contained within their offspring.

"Yeh'll be a great mom. And that's nice of yeh to say, Dejah. I try to be, always."

She looked down, again kissing him softly.

"I hope you're right."

He patted both her legs and stomach gently at her kiss, beaming up at her.

"I know it. I mean yeh were a princess, and that's probably a lot harder, right? I was leading a lotta people but it wasn't quite the same thing."

Dejah nodded slowly in understanding.

"Indeed, being a princess, being a leader, it's not the same as being a parent. It's more personal, there's a more intense desire to protect," Dejah was already feeling these things, and she hadn't even given birth yet.

"Exactly, yeh want to keep yeh people safe, but it's a thousand times more personal when they're yeh fresh and blood." Even though Lockheed had an easier task as the father than her giving birth, he was feeling similar things too, and the desire to protect her and their unborn children was very strong now.

"Precisely," Dejah replied. "Children make decisions because of how their parents raise them. So any danger they put themselves in, is because of decisions they made based on how they were raised."

In other words: Dejah thought the wrongdoing of children was the fault of the parents.

"Well I'm sure if yeh and me are careful we'll be able to make sure they turn out great. I don't know how exactly Barsoom kids are like but our race, the hatchlings are pretty devoted to their moms, so I'm sure they'll love and protect yeh as much as I do."

He snuggled up more against her, his head shifting upwards to rest against her belly so he might listen within, even if it was still early days yet.

Should we fastforward to her actually giving birth soon or did you want to play something else out?

I'm happy to skip to the birth if you want! :) Would you want to start a new thread or stay here?

Either one works for me! Which would you prefer?

I think a new thread, otherwise this one might get a tad long?
