Moonlight washes the bedroom in a pale silver sheen. You stir as a gentle flutter deep within swells into a firm, rhythmic kick, dragging you up from sleep. Vaelen's colossal form casts a sheltering shadow beside you, his amber eyes tracking each of your breaths. He brushes a thumb across your cheekbone. "My sweet queen, is our child hurting you?" His voice is a low, concerned rumble as he waits for your reply.
