Dreams and Night Terrors

[Persephone]

Persephone was so relieved that Alek was happy and told him as much. She told him she was afraid he wouldn't be happy about her pregnancy. He gently kissed her temple before pulling back to look at her.

Alek: "Why would you think that? I love our daughter. I love our family. And you are a fantastic mom."

She held onto his hands, looking down at them.

"Because you were so scared after Lily was born..."

She said honestly. She knew he loved Lily with all his heart, but she was afraid he wouldn't want to risk it with this pregnancy. But he put her mind at ease saying he was thrilled they were having another baby, and they both discussed how they would take precautions with this pregnancy. That they would go to the same doctor that delivered Lily since she already knew that Persephone was high risk. She was still scared and overwhelmed, but now she felt the excitement an happiness that came along with her first pregnancy. She hugged Alek tightly with a smile, exclaiming that they were going to have another baby.

Alek leaned down to her stomach like he had with Lily and kissed it.

Alek: "Hi baby...this is your Daddy...I love you so much..."

Persephone warmly smiled, running her hand back through his hair. There was nothing they could do that moment that would change anything, so there was no reason to leave the cabin early to go to the doctors at Greece.

"We'll go back to Greece tomorrow like planned. I don't want to disappoint Lily....she was so looking forward to playing with the wolves today."

Alek already looked worked.

Alek: "I can go with her..."

"I know. We'll play it by ear...if i'm not feeling up to if you can go with Lily and i'll rest, okay?"

She wanted to put his mind at ease. And as if on cue, they both heard Lily knocking on the door calling out to them.

"I don't want to tell her yet....not until after we've spoken to the doctor..."

Alek: "Agreed. But we'll have to decide how to tell her."

She nodded, hoping that Lily would be excited and not jealous or upset. That made Persephone anxious to think about...she never wanted Lily to think they didn't love her enough or that they were replacing her.

"Maybe she'll want a new pony..."

Persephone joked, although she was a little serious. Then Alek leaned in an kissed her and Persephone smiled once again.

Alek: "I love you. And you've made me so incredibly happy."

"I love you too, baby."

She ran her hand down his cheek and smiled as he got up and got dressed.

"I'll be down soon. I just need to moment to relax."

Alek nodded and headed downstairs to get breakfast started for Lily. Sighing out, Persephone laid back down in bed, her mind still racing but her body finally relaxing after a stressful morning. Running her hand along her stomach, she still couldn't believe she was pregnant. She never thought she would have one child, and now she was pregnant with her second.

"Alright....we need to make this as smooth as possible little one. You sister gave me a hard time when she came out, so I need you to be a little easier, okay? And if you are, I promise you can have a pony....two ponies. Hell, i'll get you a whole pony family."

Persephone smiled to herself as she joked with the baby. But in all seriousness, she truly hoped that the delivery would be a smoother one in comparison to Lily's. She didn't care if the pregnancy aspect was harder; if she was exhausted or throwing up or moody. Although she felt bad for Alek if she was moody, but she would take all the negatives during pregnancy to make up for a safe and easy delivery.

Finally after about ten minutes, Persephone slipped on some warm sweat pants and a zip up sweat shirt and headed downstairs. She could see Lily happily eating some cereal with Alek at the dining room table.

"Morning, sweetheart."

Lily looked over with a big smile, slipping out of her chair.

Lily: "Mama!"

She ran pretty roughly into Persephone's stomach, wrapping her arms around her waist hugging her.

"Whoa...careful there, little flower."

Lily: "We can play with the wolves today, right?! After breakfast! Right?!"

She was so excited she was bouncing as she held Persephone, looking up with her little chin resting on Persephone's stomach. Smiling down at Lily, she brushed back her chair.

"Of course. Daddy and I promised you!"

Lily: "YAY! They have baby puppies again! I bet they're so cute!"

Persephone lifted her eyes to Alek, smiling at her mentioning how cute a puppy was. Walking with Lily back to her seat, she helped her back into her chair.

"You need to finish breakfast first."

Lily nodded and Persephone sat down next to her and Alek, instinctively putting her hand across her stomach.

Lily: "You're not having breakfast, mommy?"

She gave Lily a gentle smile.

"No, i'm not hungry baby. I might have something before we go see the wolves."

She reassured Lily as her hand slid along Alek's forearm under the table and into his hand, interlinking their fingers together.

 

[Berserker]

The Cabin

Seph told him she had been afraid he would be angry that she was pregnant, and he asked her why she would ever think that.

"Because you were so scared after Lily was born..."

"Of course I was scared. I am scared. You are my world. And that day...I've never been so terrified in my entire life. I-"

He paused, not sure how to explain.

"At the same time I feel ecstatic that we're going to have a baby, and so afraid because you could be hurt. And I don't know how to feel one or the other. It's not that I'm okay with you risking your life, because I'm not..."

And he didn't want her to think he was. He would never ask that of her, no matter how much he wanted another baby.

Discussion turned to telling Lily, and they decided to wait until they were back in Greece and Seph had been to the doctor.

"Maybe she'll want a new pony..."

"Maybe Leo and that new mare will do us a solid..."

He joked back at her. He told her her loved her, and again how happy he was, and then he got dressed because he knew soon Lily would be pounding on the door.

"I'll be down soon. I just need to moment to relax."

He smiled.

"Take all the time you need. Don't worry about a thing."

He leaned over the bed and kissed her one last time before heading downstairs to get Lily some breakfast.

"Daddy's taking care of breakfast this morning, kid, so we're having cereal."

He got out two bowls, and filled them with cereal & milk and carried them to the table. He smiled at Lily as they sat next to each other and ate.

Lily: "Stop smiling at me Daddy!"

"I can't help it - I love you so much little flower."

He tousled her hair and she grinned up at him. Just then, Seph arrived downstairs and Lily ran to her, excitedly talking about going to visit the wolves.

Lily: "YAY! They have baby puppies again! I bet they're so cute!"

Seph gave her a look at the words "baby puppies" and Alek suddenly found his cereal incredibly interesting. Weren't the horses enough? He'd have to build an ark for all these animals if he let the women have their way. God he hoped the baby was a boy. Could it be? Maybe the doctor could tell them again, like he had the last time.

Seph came and sat down, bringing Lily back to the table. He felt her hand slide into his under the table, and he smiled over at her. She was so beautiful, glowing really - he thought absentmindedly that he should have been able to tell she was pregnant just from looking at her. His mind started to think about all the things they'd have to do. Build another room at the cabin? Or was it okay for Lily & the baby to share? He'd have to ask Seph. And they'd have to get their baby proofing on again, since it had fallen by the wayside now that Lily was bigger. And he'd ask Mrs. Anastas to help with the cooking again, when Seph was further along. Or - did he have time to learn to cook? Probably not.

"You really should eat something, baby. I'll get you anything you want."

 

[Persephone]

Alek: "Of course I was scared. I am scared. You are my world. And that day...I've never been so terrified in my entire life. I--At the same time I feel ecstatic that we're going to have a baby, and so afraid because you could be hurt. And I don't know how to feel one or the other. It's not that I'm okay with you risking your life, because I'm not..."

"I know...I feel the same way."

She was excited to get the chance to have another baby, but she was still terrified that it could potentially cost her her life. But she didn't want to think about that until they went to see the doctor. There was no reason to stress out until they knew the facts....even though she knew she was still going to stress out regardless of trying to remain calm.

Soon Lily was knocking on their door all ready for breakfast. Persephone asked Alek to get her situated while she took a few minutes to just relax. But shortly after laying down, Persephone headed downstairs to meet an excited Lily who greeted her with a big hug. She was so excited to play with the wolves, and the new wolf puppies. Walking her back over to her seat, she lifted her up and gave her a kiss on the cheek, telling her she needed to finish breakfast first. Sitting down next to Alek, she took his hand under the table and squeezed it, their fingers interlinked together.

Lily: "You're not having breakfast, mommy?"

She gave Lily a gentle smile.

"No, i'm not hungry baby. I might have something before we go see the wolves."

Alek: "You really should eat something, baby. I'll get you anything you want."

Shaking her head, she was still feeling nauseated and the thought of eating would definitely make her throw up. Hell, just the smell of Cheerios was making her stomach turn. That was one big difference between Lily's pregnancy and this one. She never felt sick with Lily, so maybe this was a good sign that the pregnancies were going to progress differently.

"No...really, i'm okay."

Lily: "Are you sick?"

"A little. Nothing for you to worry about, sweetheart."

Lily: "Maybe....maybe we ate too much for daddy's birthday dinner last night?"

Persephone smiled at Lily, her heart so filled with love at how concerned she was.

"That's probably what it is. We had a lot."

Lily giggled before putting a big spoonful of Cheerios into her mouth. She looked adorable munching away, but the bile was starting to rise in her throat from the crunching and the smell and the overall look of the food. Clearing her throat, she swallowed hard, breathing through the nausea.

"I think i'll make some tea."

Putting her hand on her stomach as she stood, she headed over to the kitchen and began to make some fresh mint tea, hoping it would calm her stomach. Putting some honey and lemon in it, the smell was soothing as she held the hot mug up to her mouth, gently blowing on it. Lily was already done with her cereal in record time. She was definitely excited to get the day started knowing she was going to play with the wolves.

"Baby, why don't you go upstairs and get dressed."

Lily: "Okay!!"

Lily slid off her chair and quickly bounded up the stairs and disappeared into her room. Leaning against the kitchen counter, Persephone looked over at Alek with a half smile.

"Maybe you won't have to deal with strange cravings this time....because I honestly don't think i'll be able to eat until I give birth."

She quipped lightly with a laugh before taking a sip of tea.

"Although...if last night was any indication of my libido....that certainly hasn't changed since my last pregnancy."

She grinned, biting her bottom lip remembering the last time she was pregnant.

 

[Berserker]

The Kitchen

Seph got up to make herself a cup of tea, and he could tell she wasn't feeling well. She'd never had morning sickness or anything like that with Lily, so it surprised him. Hopefully it wouldn't last long. Seph sent Lily upstairs to get dressed, and when she looked at him, his heart went out to her sympathetically.

"Maybe you won't have to deal with strange cravings this time....because I honestly don't think I'll be able to eat until I give birth."

"Aw, honey...I'm sorry."

"Although...if last night was any indication of my libido....that certainly hasn't changed since my last pregnancy."

"Did I mention: Best. Birthday. Ever.?"

He grinned at her, coming over into the kitchen. He put his hands on her shoulders and started to rub them slowly, whispering into her ear lasciviously.

"Think your boobs will get bigger?"

He heard Lily bounding down the steps, and he turned and extended his arms, catching her as she went by and lifting her up into the air.

"Hey, since Mommy's not feeling well, what if I take you out to play with the puppies?"

Lily: "No, I want Mommy to come too!"

"Come on, Ellaria, let's let Mommy rest."

 

[Persephone]

Persephone joked that she doubted she would have any strange cravings this time around because just the thought of eating nauseated her.

Alek: “Aw, honey...I’m sorry.”

Alek got up from the dining room table and walked over to her, gently rubbing her shoulders. She smiled, placing her cup of tea on the counter before wrapping her arms around him.

“It’s okay. I’m sure it won’t last.”

At least she hoped it wouldn’t. But one thing was definitely the same: her sex drive. It wasn’t any different than usual, and judging from last night, it had increased like her last pregnancy.

"Although...if last night was any indication of my libido....that certainly hasn't changed since my last pregnancy."

Alek: "Did I mention: Best. Birthday. Ever.?"

Persephone smirked up at him.

"I owed you....after what we now know was a hormonal breakdown."

She joked in regards to her Ashley/Valkyrie situation from the day before. She still felt horrible about it, but at least now she realized she wasn't going completely insane because, well....hormones.

She lifted to her toes, giving him a peck on the lips.

"Sorry again about that..."

But Alek wasn't upset, nor did he really seem to care about the whole situation yesterday. His mind was focused on other things, and his smile indicated they were definitely not about a children's book.

Alek: "Think your boobs will get bigger?"

Persephone grinned, her hands running up his back as she pressed her body against him; more particularly her chest. Alek was a breast man through and through, which she absolutely loved. But when her breasts were huge during Lily's pregnancy? He was like a kid in a candy shop. He always gave them special attention, but it was like he couldn't keep his hands off her when they were massive.

"Oh I hope so."

But their moment of sexy talk was short lived once they both heard Lily bounding down the hallway and stairs. Pulling out of Alek's arms, Lily came running straight for them and Alek caught her, lifting her into the air. Lily giggled happily, wrapping her arms around Alek's neck as he held her.

Alek: "Hey, since Mommy's not feeling well, what if I take you out to play with the puppies?"

Lily immediately frowned, her lips becoming a pout.

Lily: "No, I want Mommy to come too!"

Alek: "Come on, Ellaria, let's let Mommy rest."

Alek's tone was a little more stern than Lily was used to and she looked at Alek, her frown disappearing and a bashful, apologetic look overtook her big blue eyes.

Lily: "Sorry daddy..."

Persephone gently rubbed Alek's back reassuringly.

"How about I sit out on the porch and watch you and daddy play with the puppies? And if I start to feel better i'll come out and join you."

She hated seeing Lily disappointed, but she knew Alek was being extra cautious this time around, so laying down outside was just as good as laying down upstairs in bed. Lily nodded, her infectious smile returning. Persephone gave her a gentle smile as she leaned in and gave Alek a kiss on the cheek, quietly whispering into his ear.

"It's okay, baby."

They all headed over to the back door, Persephone grabbing one of the wool throws from the couch as they headed out onto the back patio. The spring air was still chilly, but otherwise it was a gorgeous sunny day. Sitting down on the patio sectional, Persephone wrapped herself in the wool blanket and watched as Lily and Alek headed down to the yard, Lily jumping excitedly.

Lily: "Maaaax! Maaax! Come out boy!"

Lily affectionately named the alpha Max after watching a kids movie where the dog's name was Max in it. Persephone gently laughed, feeling the alpha was near, along with his new pack members. Looking off toward the forrest, she saw about five puppies come bounding out onto the green grass running toward Lily and Alek, the mother of the puppies trotting out toward them as well. The alpha then made his presents known, following behind protectively. The puppies immediately jumped and tackled Lily, licking her face and playing with her as if they were domestic dogs. The mother headed over to Alek, gently nuzzling his hand sweetly while the alpha headed up toward Persephone, making his way onto the porch.

"Hey there handsome."

Persephone smiled as Max approached her, placing his head in her lap as she scratched his ears. His nose immediately went to her stomach, gently poking it while whining. She softly chuckled.

"Yeah....there's another little one in there for you to play with soon."

Max whined happily, keeping his head in Persephone's lap protectively wanting to stay by her side. But she knew Lily wanted to play with him, so she smoothed down his coat gently and gave him reassurance that she would be okay and to go play with Lily. He looked up at her before finally turning and trotting down the patio to where Lily was. She shrieked excitedly, Max licking her face as she clutched at his coat hugging him. Persephone watched with a smile, laying down on the couch and pulling the blanket up over her shoulder. As she continued to watch Alek and Lily with the wolves, her nausea slowly began to subside, and it didn't take long before Persephone found herself falling asleep.

 

[Berserker]

The Cabin

Alek was in the kitchen, trying to comfort Seph, who was feeling poorly. And he made sure to tell her how excellent she had made his birthday.

"I owed you....after what we now know was a hormonal breakdown."

"Oh, I assumed."

He joked back to her.

"Sorry again about that..."

He waived it away, water under the bridge. When Lily came bouncing in, he caught her, and suggested he take her to play with the wolves instead of Seph. She protested, but then dejectedly gave in.

"How about I sit out on the porch and watch you and daddy play with the puppies? And if I start to feel better I'll come out and join you."

Lily seemed to accept that, but he looked at Seph skeptically. The Spring air was still chilly...

"It's okay, baby."

Seph rubbed his back, and gave him a kiss on the cheek. The three of them headed outside, and Seph settled with a blanket on the patio.

Lily: "Maaaax! Maaax! Come out boy!"

Alek wondered just what the wolf thought about his new name, but he must not have been complaining to Lily about it. His own little Doctor Doolittle. They could see the wolf family coming towards them now, and he had to admit, the puppies were cute. And Lily playing with them was incredibly cute. The female beta came up to him and nuzzled his hand, and he knelt to pet her. They exchanged a look that he could have sworn said, "Kids!", both of them watching the children play with interest.

And then the alpha returned from his visit with Seph, and Lily was over the moon, hugging him. It was slightly unnerving to see a six year old playing with a wolf pack, but Alek had long since stopped worrying about it. She rolled and tumbled, ran and petted, chased and was chased. They played the entire morning, and when the pack needed to leave, Lily said a teary goodbye, promising to visit again soon. Alek echoed that (for what it was worth) and picked up Lily so she could watched them walk into the forest and out of sight. He hugged Lily tight, knowing she was upset. He carried her back towards the house, and as they got to the patio he saw with a smile that Seph was asleep. Lily let out a big yawn, and he chuckled.

"I think it's almost time for someone else to take a nap too."

He set Lily down inside, then went back out and picked Seph up, bringing her inside and settling her on the couch. He told Lily not to wake mommy, then went into the kitchen to fix Lily something for lunch.

"Lily, sweetheart, what do you want for lunch?"

He looked around, but she hadn't come into the kitchen with him as he'd thought. He went back into the living room, finding her curled up next to Seph, already asleep. He smiled at the two of them, and watched them sleep for a while, before heading back into the kitchen.

 

[Persephone]

Persephone was out like a light and didn't even feel when Alek picked her up and moved her into the living room. Even when Lily snuggled up next to her, Persephone didn't wake, though she instinctively wrapped her arm around Lily holding her to her chest. They slept like that for another half hour before Persephone's eyes finally fluttered open and she realized she was now in the living room with her daughter in her arms. Tilting her head down to see Lily soundly sleeping, Persephone softly smiled before looking up to see Alek sitting in the chair near the fireplace on his laptop.

"Alek..."

She softly called out to him a she slowly sat up so she wouldn't wake Lily. Obviously her play time with the wolves went well because she was dead to the world. Persephone felt horrible that she had fallen asleep and didn't get a chance to play with her and Alek, but she knew Lily must of had fun if she was sleeping so soundly. Scooping Lily into her arms, she held her out to Alek as she stood up so they could take her upstairs into her bedroom to finish her nap. Following him up, she watched as he put her into her bed and she snuggled under the blankets clutching onto her bear. Wrapping her arm around Alek's waist, Persephone just stood there for a moment looking at their daughter and realizing, they would soon have another little girl or boy to tuck in.

Quietly making their way out of her room, Persephone shut the door before fully wrapping her arms around Alek's waist and leaning into him, resting her head against his chest.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to fall asleep."

She tightly hugged him, the feel of his body so perfect against her. Tilting her head back, she looked up at him.

"She had fun?"

When he confirmed as much Persephone smiled, raising to her toes and giving Alek a kiss. She pulled back just enough to wrap her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. Her nausea had passed for the time being and after her nap she felt more rejuvenated. Her body was craving Alek the more she kissed him, it was almost unbearable.

"We're going to be jugging two babies soon.....we should probably get a little us time in while we still can..."

Persephone smirked, knowing whether they had two children or ten children they would always find time for each other, but she wanted to let him know exactly what she wanted in that moment. Kissing him again, she began to back peddle toward the master suite, bringing Alek along with her, not wanting to part from him for a single second.

 

[Berserker]

The Cabin

Alek was sitting on his laptop, researching placential abruptions and how to prevent them. Not a happy subject, but he needed to know everything he could. He heard Seph say his name and he immediately closed the laptop lid, looking over at her and smiling. She was standing, picking Lily up, and he rushed over to take her from her. He carried her upstairs and put her in bed with her favorite teddy bear.

He and Seph stood there watching her for a while, Seph's arm around his waist, until they both tiptoed out of the room, shutting the door behind them. And then she was in his arms. He held her tight, resting his chin on the top of her head.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to fall asleep."

"You probably needed the rest."

"She had fun?"

"There were some tears when the puppies had to go home, but all in all she had a blast. I think she would join the pack if she could."

Seph smiled and gave him a kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"We're going to be jugging two babies soon.....we should probably get a little us time in while we still can..."

Alek laughed and gently pinched her side.

"You got twins in there you haven't told me about?"

But Seph was not in a joking mood - she wanted what she wanted now, and she began to pull him back into the bedroom. Yep, she was pregnant again, for sure. He wasn't complaining, though, already pulling at the zipper on her sweatshirt as they went through the doorway to their room. He pushed the door closed behind him with his foot, pushing her sweatshirt off her shoulders and then going for the pants.

 

[Persephone]

Persephone and Alek stood outside Lily's room and she asked if Lily had a good time with the pack while wrapped in his arms.

Alek: "There were some tears when the puppies had to go home, but all in all she had a blast. I think she would join the pack if she could."

Her brows furrowed at the thought of Lily crying because she was sad to leave them, making an aww noise as she let out a light laugh.

"I think she probably would."

But they would soon have a pack of their own with another addition, Persephone leaning up to kiss Alek, her arms wrapping around his neck. He felt so good against her, his body warm and solid. It felt like she hadn't touched him in years, not hours. She broke the kiss, smirking at him suggestively.

"We're going to be jugging two babies soon.....we should probably get a little us time in while we still can..."

Alek pinched her side playfully, Persephone reacting to his touch while giggling.

Alek: "You got twins in there you haven't told me about?"

"Nooo....But I'll always see Lily as our baby....even if she's growing up too fast for my liking."

But hell, who knows? Alek could be right. She could have twins for all they knew. She smiled at him, returning her lips to his as her fingers went back through his hair. She pressed herself against him, the heat within her building with every moment that passed. Persephone began to back peddle toward their bedroom, Alek already unzipping her sweat shirt as they entered the room. He closed the door with his foot, pushing her sweater off her shoulders and having it fall to the floor. Persephone broke the kiss, taking the hem of Alek's t shirt and pulling it over his body before her mouth returned to his, her tongue taking position. She felt him push her sweat pants down over her hips and she turned toward the bed, sitting on the edge and letting him pull them all the way off. Persephone's hands went to his jeans, undoing the button and unzipping them with ease.

"Come here..."

There was a yearning to her tone as she took his hand and kissed his palm, her dark eyes looking up at him with such need and love. Her other hand moved around his back as he climbed on top of her, Persephone's mouth finding his again, kissing him deeply and slowly. She could feel him hard between her thighs, her legs wrapping around his waist wanting him inside her so desperately. She reached between them, not wanting a tease or a slow build, but needing him immediately. Running her hand down his shaft, she guided him into her and moaned into Alek's mouth at the feeling of him fill her.

Breaking the kiss, Persephone's head fell back against the bed, her eyes rolling shut with ecstasy.

"God you feel so good...."

She whimpered, her back arching into his thrusts, rolling her hips to meet his.

"Yes baby..."

Her pants were soft as her mouth moved to Alek's neck, kissing his skin with her tongue, tasting him. She wanted to feel every part of him, her senses on overload. Gripping his body, she pulled herself against him feeling as if she wasn't close enough. The desire she felt for him was limitless.

 

[Berserker]

The Bedroom

"Come here..."

He loved it when she called him, and he noticeably stiffened as he came towards her. Surprise washed over his face as she kissed his palm, but it soon turned to something else with the way she was looking up at him through her dark lashes. He moved her legs onto the bed and climbed on top of her, his knee parting her thighs as their mouths found each other. She pulled him towards her, her legs wrapping around him, and her hand found his cock and soon he was inside her, Seph's moans spurring him on. She leaned back against the bed as he moved between her legs, keeping pace but not getting rough.

"God you feel so good...."

He kept his strokes long and deep, sliding easily in and out. Her mouth was on his neck and now it was his turn to moan. He began to move faster, worrying the spot that made her get loud. He pushed her legs farther apart, keeping himself deeper inside as he moved. He was breathing hard now, a hand grabbing her breast while his mouth pressed firmly against hers, his tongue tasting her. He rested his other forearm above her head, using it to hold him up so he could thrust harder into her.

"Oh fuck...aw Seph..."

She was so tight and wet, and he was so hard, and every sensation he was feeling was heightened. He felt like if he came he'd never stop coming...

 

[Persephone]

Persephone moaned as Alek kept his pace steady yet with a purpose. Her hips met with his, rolling against him, the connection deep and long. She moved her lips to his neck to taste his skin and he let out a moan of pleasure causing her to get wetter if that was even possible. She felt him push her thighs further apart, his movements quickening. Alek groped her breast, his hands sending electrical currents throughout her body. Her nipples were overly sensitive once again and she called out with a groan of pleasure, arching into his touch. He hovered over her, his forearm supporting him as he began to fuck her harder now. His face was close enough for her to take his mouth, her tongue finding his in a kiss filled with need and heat.

Alek: “Oh fuck...aw Seph...”

Gripping his back, with each quickened thrust she let out a groan, each one getting higher in pitch as he continued to stroke the spot that made her go wild.

“Yes...yes...Alek!”

She cried out, her body clutching around him tightly as she felt herself falling into the abyss of pleasure. Her cries were met with shockwaves that traveled throughout her body, making her tremble under him. Persephone began to push her hips more forcefully into Alek’s, the orgasm egging her on even more. She wanted to come again, and she wanted to take him with her. Her moans became more primal as she kept fucking him, her eyes never leaving his, her one hand gripping his ass while the other held the wrought iron headboard tightly.

"Harder baby....fuck...fuck....FUCK!"

Each thrust pushed deeper and deeper into her, Persephone's crying out at the sensation. Her knuckles were white on the wrought iron, and the force of Alek fucking her caused the frame to hit the wall over and over again matching her loud moans. Her body was at his for the taking, willing and eager.

 

[Berserker]

The Bedroom

He could feel Seph's body tremble, her voice crying out as she came. But then she attacked him with new vigor, her hips thrusting hard against his, her hand gripping his ass.

"Harder baby....fuck...fuck....FUCK!"

He complied, pushing into her harder, the force of his hips making the headboard bang on the wall. He grunted with each thrust, her moans awakening something primal inside him.

"Make me come, Seph..."

He shoved hard once more into her, then kept himself there, grinding against her faster and faster, hips pressed firmly against hers. His head went to the crook of her neck, hair damp with sweat. He felt her clench around him, and he moaned out, feeling the pressure building until he came hard. He didn't move off of her immediately, instead he lifted his head, his mouth finding hers. His hands went to the sides of her face, enveloping her in the kiss. After kissing her for a good long time, he pulled up, lips smiling.

"I think I'm going to miss the amount of time we spent naked during your last pregnancy..."

 

[Persephone]

Persephone begged for him to go harder after she came, a fire igniting within her and she needed his fuel to sustain it. Alek thrusted his hips against her hard, Persephone crying out with each impact. But then he pushed into her hard, reaching his limit within her, then kept himself there grinding against her. Persephone let out a deep, low moan.

"Holy shit.."

She gasped in, the feeling indescribable as he kept grinding his hips relentlessly against her. Her hand went to his neck, gripping his damp hair, feeling his mouth go to the crook of her neck.

Alek: "Make me come, Seph..."

She was breathless, her neck extending back to his touch while panting out against his onslaught. Persephone circled her hips, pushing against him hard, feeling herself teetering on the edge. He filled her so much that his movements made it impossible for him not to stroke her spot continuously, and it drove her insane. She felt her body tense and clench around him, taking him even deeper as she began to come hard. Crying out through her orgasm, she felt Alek come, his moans matching her own until completion.

Out of breath, Persephone's chest heaved in and out as Alek lifted his head from her neck and took her mouth with his. His hands held her face and Persephone brought both her arms around him, holding him against her as they kissed deeply and for a long time. She softly moaned during the kiss, the feeling of him still within her and his mouth possessing hers was everything she wanted and more.

He finally broke the kiss and it was the absolute worst feeling in the world. Alek smiled down at her and she gripped his neck, willing him to take her again.

Alek: "I think I'm going to miss the amount of time we spent naked during your last pregnancy..."

Brushing her lips against his, Persephone smirked salaciously.

"Who says we won't have that time?"

She kissed him again, smiling against his lips. Lily had school, they had Demeter who was always eager to take her for the weekend, then their normal nights after Lily went to bed. Persephone was going to make sure they didn't miss out on the best perk of her being pregnant.

Gently biting Alek's lip, Persephone's hands slid down his slick back, her body arching into him.

"Alek...."

She whispered with such need, it was like they hadn't just finished having sex. Deepening the kiss, she moaned against his lips, wanting him so badly. But, as fate would have it, someone else wanted her as well.

Lily: "Mommy....?"

It was like screeching tires could be heard as Persephone's eyes popped open and she broke the kiss immediately, her body tensing after hearing Lily's little voice.

Lily: "Daddy....?"

Trying to steady her breathing, Persephone tried to sound as normal as possible.

"Just a second, sweetheart!"

Lily: "Mama...?"

A little tapping could be heard against their door from her fist knocking it gently. She sounded unsure and a little nervous, her tone not her usual happy and upbeat way.

"We'll be right out, baby!"

She gave Alek a sympathetic look, yet also a look of disappointment as well. God damn did she want to fuck the hell out of him again. And really, she thought they had at least another hour before Lily would wake from her nap judging from how exhausted she was after playing with the wolves.

"Duty calls..."

Giving him a kiss as Alek climbed off her, Persephone got out of bed and quickly got dressed back into her sweats. Looking over at Alek as he put his pants back on, she wanted to make sure he was dressed before she opened the door. Opening it, Persephone saw Lily standing there looking a little bashful, her big blue eyes looking up at Persephone through her full dark lashes.

"There's by baby girl!"

Scooping Lily up into her arms, Lily clutched herself around Persephone's neck before laying her head against her shoulder.

"Come on, lets get you a snack. Does that sound good?"

Lily just nodded quietly as Persephone headed down stairs to the kitchen.

The Bedroom

He loved to please her, make her cry out uncontrollably. And when she asked for it, it was like he got a second wind. Or third, or fourth. They came together, and he stayed inside her, the two of them kissing without stopping for a long time. He half jokingly said how he was going to miss being able to spend virtually Seph's entire pregnancy naked, like they had the last time. But she didn't think anything was going to be different, and though having a six year old running around was giving him doubts about that, he wasn't about to tell her about it.

He felt Seph push her hips against him as she bit his bottom lip.

"Alek...."

He knew what she wanted. Her mouth needily pressed against his, and his hand slid back to her breast, feeling himself getting ready already. How she did it, he didn't know. But then, they both froze, as a little voice could be heard calling for them. She gave him a kiss as he climbed off of her, looking for his pants. He slid them on and pulled his shirt over his head, Seph already dressed. He pulled his damp hair back as Seph opened the door to find Lily standing in the hallway. Seph picked her up, and Lily rested her head on her shoulder. Alek wondered for a moment if she would go back to sleep.

"Come on, lets get you a snack. Does that sound good?"

Lily nodded, and Seph carried her downstairs. Alek didn't even think to take her from Seph, because Lily was acting so strangely. When they got down to the kitchen, he brushed the hair off of Lily's forehead.

"Did you have a bad dream, little flower?"

 

[Persephone]

Lily clutched onto Persephone tightly, her head resting against her shoulder and not lifting even as they reached the kitchen. This was unusual because Lily loved food. She was very much like her father in that sense and got extremely excited when she could eat or help Persephone cook. Alek must of sensed the same thing because he came up to them both, brushing back Lily's long dark hair away from her face.

Alek: "Did you have a bad dream, little flower?"

Her blue eyes were like saucers as she looked up at Alek, still keeping her head resting on Persephone's shoulder. She shook her head no, looking very perturbed. Persephone's brows furrowed as she looked over at Alek, concerned.

"Are you feeling sick, sweetheart?"

She again shook her head no, quietly disagreeing. Persephone soothingly rubbed Lily's back.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

Lily did her 'I don't want to talk about it noise', burying her face away from them both and hiding it in the crook of Persephone's neck; her little fists gripping at Persephone's sweatshirt and legs hooking around her belly like a little monkey. Something was definitely wrong. Lily was normally an affectionate little girl, but she only acted this way when something was really wrong, or she was sick.

"Ellaria...it's okay. You can tell mommy and daddy."

Lily was quiet for a moment before finally answer.

Lily: "You're fighting again..."

Her voice was soft and filled with sadness. Persephone looked at Alek confused.

"Sweetie, no we're not. Mommy and daddy aren't fighting..."

Lily: "Yeah huh....."

Her voice cracked similar to Persephone's right before she was about to cry. Persephone's eyes went to Alek, the sound of Lily's voice breaking her heart. She moved over to the kitchen counter and sat Lily down, despite Lily not wanting to leave Persephone's arms. Pulling back so they could both look at her, Persephone brushed her hand along Lily's cheek.

"Why do you think mommy and daddy are fighting, Lily?"

Lily didn't immediately look up at them, Persephone having to coax her with some soothing strokes down her hair. Finally, she lifted her eyes to them.

Lily: "I heard you screaming at daddy...."

OHSHIT.

Persephone's eyes went wide and her mouth hung open, literally unable to think for a second. Lily heard them having sex....their six year old heard them having sex. What the hell happened to the sound proofing?! Slowly looking over at Alek with her eyes still wide, it suddenly clicked that Lily was still very much present and watching. So Persephone looked back over at her, letting out a nervous, short laugh while shaking her head.

"No...sweetie...that--those were happy screams...."

Lily: "But....I heard you yelling a bad word over and over again...and hitting the wall..."

And the shocked expression returned, Persephone's mouth dry enough to make her clear her throat and give Alek a what the hell are we supposed to say look.

 

[Berserker]

The Kitchen

Something was wrong with Lily, and they took turns asking her what was wrong, Seph looking over at him concerned with each negative response from her.

Lily: "You're fighting again..."

The sadness in her voice broke his heart, but he was glad at least it wasn't something really wrong.

"Sweetie, no we're not. Mommy and daddy aren't fighting..."

He smiled at Lily, as if to confirm Seph's statement. But she didn't believe them for some reason. She looked exactly like Seph did when she was going to cry, and he could see the worry in Seph's face. She set Lily down on the counter, and he moved to Seph's side, looking down curiously at Lily and with concern.

"Why do you think mommy and daddy are fighting, Lily?"

Lily: "I heard you screaming at daddy...."

Alek pressed his lips together forcefully, to keep from laughing. Seph, however, did not look amused, looking at him with wide eyes. He gave her a small shrug.

"No...sweetie...that--those were happy screams...."

Happy screams? What the hell were happy screams?

Lily: "But....I heard you yelling a bad word over and over again...and hitting the wall..."

Seph looked at him again, clearly at a loss, and so embarrassed that it was incredibly cute.

"Lily."

He smiled down at her, tucking her hair behind her ear.

"Mommy & Daddy were just exercising, that's all. Next time we'll go down in the living room where there's more space."

He touched her nose playfully.

"Okay?"

 

[Persephone]

Persephone sat Lily down on the kitchen counter to look at her, Alek moving to her side. She asked Lily why she thought they were fighting, and she point blank said she heard Persephone screaming at Alek. A look of absolute shock and horror flooded her face as she looked over at Alek with wide eyes. He, on the other hand, looked like he was about to die laughing, giving Persephone a little shrug. She wanted to punch him in the arm but instead gave him a look as if to say, this isn't funny....even though in truth it was pretty funny. But the thought of their daughter hearing her screaming out with pleasure made Persephone's nausea return.

She told Lily that she wasn't screaming at daddy, and that they were happy screams. Honestly, she didn't even know what that meant but it was the first thing that stumbled out of her mouth that made any kind of logical sense. Lily countered with her saying fuck over and over again while the bed hit the wall. At that moment it took everything for Persephone not to face palm. She looked over at Alek for help.

Alek: "Lily. Mommy & Daddy were just exercising, that's all. Next time we'll go down in the living room where there's more space. Okay?"

Exercising? Why didn't she think of that? Oh, that's right....because she was busy slowly dying inside at the thought of their six year old hearing her orgasm. Lily's little eyebrows furrowed after Alek touched her nose sweetly, looking up at him then over at Persephone.

Lily: "But...but I thought mama was sick?"

She's way too smart. Persephone licked her parched lips, wishing so desperately for a giant glass of wine.

"Mama is sick sweetie. I was feeling better and I thought that doing some exercising with daddy was a good idea."

Why did it sound more convincing coming from Alek?

"But...those bad words I was saying? That was mommy realizing that I shouldn't have been exercising because I still don't feel very well."

Lily was silent for a moment, taking in what both Persephone and Alek had told her. It was like she was trying to figure out if they were lying to her or not, and God she hoped Lily would just accept what they said and let it go.

Lily: "So...you're not still fighting?"

"No, baby."

Persephone leaned into Alek, wrapping her arm around his waist to show her they were very much in love and happy.

Lily: "...and and you're not mad at daddy?"

"No, Lily, i'm not mad at your daddy."

Lily gently nodded her head finally accepting what they were telling her. But she still didn't look herself, and it was probably because they had woken her up and she was still exhausted from playing with the wolves.

"Do you want to sit with mommy while daddy makes you a snack?"

She nodded again, which was good because Persephone would rather Alek handle the food since the thought of being near it still made her want to vomit. Giving Lily a gentle smile, she picked her up from the kitchen counter to which Lily immediately went back to the same position she was in before; arms wrapped around Persephone's neck, legs around her waist, and head resting on her shoulder. This gave Persephone the opportunity to look at Alek, finally smiling with disbelief.

Oh my God.

She mouthed, slowly letting out a sigh of relief. They would have to look into why the sound proofing wasn't working....because there was no way she would be able to survive not having sex with Alek when her libido was on hyper drive.

Walking over to the couch, Persephone sat down and Lily got comfortable, still holding onto Persephone with her head still laying on her shoulder.

"Still tired, sweetie?"

Lily nodded and Persephone began to rock her gently in her arms like she did when she was a baby, running her hand up and down her back as they waited for Alek to join them.

 

[Berserker]

The Kitchen

He was beginning to suspect that Lily had a future in a career as a detective, because convincing her that their sex noises were really the sounds of exercise was not easy.

Lily: "But...but I thought mama was sick?"

"Mama is sick sweetie. I was feeling better and I thought that doing some exercising with daddy was a good idea."

"You know that exercise is good for you, right? So we thought maybe it would help Mommy get over her illness."

"But...those bad words I was saying? That was mommy realizing that I shouldn't have been exercising because I still don't feel very well."

"Right. Exactly."

Thankfully Lily stopped quizzing them about the noises and returned to questioning them about fighting. Seph told her adamantly that they were not still fighting. Seph wrapped her arm around his waist and leaned in to him to illustrate the point.

"And I love BOTH my girls."

He gave Seph a kiss on the cheek and then leaned over and gave Lily one too. She seemed to believe them, but she still looked like she might be sick.

"Do you want to sit with mommy while daddy makes you a snack?"

Lily nodded, and Seph picked her up again. Seph looked at him and mouthed Oh my God. Alek just grinned cheekily at her. He couldn't wait to tease her about how loud she was. He rubbed Lily's back as she and Seph went by him on the way to the living room, then got out the fixings for a snack.

He went into the living room carrying a juice box and one of Lily's plates. Seph was rocking her, her little arms holding tight to her mom.

"Here we go, one snack for the little princess."

He sat down next to Seph so he could look into Lily's face.

"Juice and peanut butter and jelly. See? I used the cookie cutter to make it in the shape of a heart."

 

[Persephone]

Oh yeah, Persephone was definitely going to give Alek's arm a solid punch later just for the cheeky grin he was giving her. He was enjoy this way too much and it made Persephone smile broadly and roll her eyes light heartedly as she headed into the living room with Lily. Sitting on the couch, Lily held tightly onto Persephone and kept her head resting on her shoulder.

"Still tired, sweetie?"

Lily nodded and Persephone felt horrible for waking her up. She gently rubbed her back and rocked her.

"I'm sorry, baby."

It didn't take long for Alek to make his way into the living room carrying a juice box and a little plate with a heart shaped peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Persephone smiled at how adorable his gesture was. He was such an amazing father and knew exactly how to make Lily smile.

Alek: "Here we go, one snack for the little princess."

He sat down next to where Lily could see him. Her big blue eyes were looking up at him, then down at the plate.

Alek: "Juice and peanut butter and jelly. See? I used the cookie cutter to make it in the shape of a heart."

Finally, Lily cracked a smile, softly giggling at the heart shaped sandwich.

Lily: "Thank you, daddy."

Her voice was soft and sweet, finally lifting herself from Persephone and outstretching her arms to hug Alek. Persephone held the plate as they held each other for a moment, smiling at Alek and how perfect that gesture was to perk Lily back up.

Thank you.

She mouthed to him just as Lily pulled out of Alek's arms and sat onto the couch between them. Handing Lily the plate, she smiled as she picked up the heart shape sandwich and took a bite.

Lily: "It's good."

She said with her mouth full causing Persephone to chuckle.

"Daddy is the PB&J master."

Lily nodded with agreement as she happily looked up at Alek and extended the sandwich out for him to take a bite. Persephone's smile remained on her face until the smell of the peanut butter finally hit her nose and made her stomach instantly turn. Turning her head away, she didn't want to ruin the moment because Lily was finally happy. Shutting her eyes, she felt the bile rising in her throat, her fingers going to her lips in a futile attempt to keep herself from vomiting.

Lily: "Here mama."

Lily was extending the sandwich out to Persephone to share with her as well. Gently shaking her head, she turned to Lily with a forced smile.

"Thank you baby....but you enjoy it.."

Picking up the remote, Persephone turned on the tv quickly and upped the volume; Spongebob's theme music playing throughout the living room. Lily immediately smiled at her favorite show as Persephone stood from the couch.

"I'll be right back."

She gave Alek a quick look before quickly walking across the living room to the downstairs bathroom. Shutting the door, once inside she quickly opened the toilet and began to vomit, coughing out as she braced herself against the wall. The last thing she wanted Lily to hear was her puking on top of hearing her having sex earlier. Persephone's hand was on her stomach as she heaved out, vomiting again. Her eyes were watery as she flushed the toilet, leaning against the wall and shutting her eyes.

"Common baby....why are you doing this to mommy.."

She said with a groan, taking a few more minutes to recollect herself.

 

[Berserker]

The Living Room

Alek brought Lily a snack, and she finally smiled.

Lily: "Thank you, daddy."

"You're welcome sweetheart."

She reached out her arms for him and he pulled her into a tight hug.

"Love you."

Lily: "Love you too."

He smiled at Seph as Lily pulled out of their hug and sat between the two of them. She took a bite of her sandwich, then offered Alek a bite. He couldn't turn down PB&J, biting into the sandwich and chewing happily.

"Thank you."

Lily then held the sandwich out to Seph, who was turning a distinct shade of green. She declined, then got up from the couch, nearly running to the bathroom. He had his suspicions about what was going on in there, but he didn't want to worry Lily by rushing after Seph. Instead he put his arm around Lily, offering her her juice box with the other hand.

"So...what's the starfish's name again?"

Lily sighed and he could have sworn rolled her eyes.

Lily: "Patrick, Daddy."

"And why do they eat hamburgers?"

Lily: "They're Crabby Patties!"

"Right, right. And why is there a squirrel on the bottom of the ocean?"
