Work Text:
It had been a long time since Caitlyn Kiramman had felt so uncomfortable in her own skin. Her lower back hurt, her strength was nowhere what it used to be, she couldn’t see her own feet and everything was affecting her more than usual. At least the nausea had almost stopped, the second trimester finally allowing her to breath. She was always tired, her body taking everything in herself to grow their little muffin. She smiled gently as her hand rested on her stomach, a fluttering feeling on her belly making her grin wider. She was on their bed, reading as she waited for Vi to come back. The redhead had told her that she would be back later than usual, her work had asked her to go to a training session after her shift.
She squirmed for a few moments, the pain on her lower back worsening for a second before calming down. She was grimacing when her partner stepped into the room, her book forgotten on the side as she focused on her breathing.
“Cupcake?” Her voice was soft and sweet as she walked to the bed. “Hey.”
The blue-haired woman’s eyes fluttered open and she smiled up at her partner, patting next to her so she would sit down. “Welcome home.”
“Is our little muffin making you uncomfortable, baby?”
“A bit, yes. But I guess I just have to deal with it, don’t I?”
Vi nibbled on her lower lip, her hand cupping her stomach. “Hear here, little cub. If you do not let your mommy rest she will be too tired to play with us when you are out here. So how about we pamper her a bit, huh?”
“That sounds nice. What do you have in mind, darling?”
“I will draw you a bath for now. And later… I have a surprise for you.” The redhead leaned down to leave a soft peck on her lips. “Stay here, I will be right back.”
Once the bath was ready Vi helped her to the water, the warmness allowing some of the tension to dissipate as she rested. The bubbles and bath salts were doing a great job at relaxing her and she would’ve stayed in there for hours if not for the quickened cooling of the water. She called out for her partner and smiled when the woman helped her out the water and dried her with the softest towel they had.
“That was really nice. Now, about that surprise of yours…” She wiggled her eyebrows playfully as she allowed her partner to put a robe around her.
“We should move to the bed for that,” the redhead answered, her voice a bit more nervous than usual, causing the pregnant woman to frown.
“Is everything alright, darling?”
Vi nodded as she guided her partner to the bed. “Just want to make sure I do this right.”
“Do what right?”
“I wasn’t training just now.” She cleared her throat nervously. “I went to a massage class, specifically one to give massages for pregnant women. I thought it would be nice to try it, don’t you think? Especially now that you are almost reaching the third trimester and I know you are in pain and uncomfortable and…”
Caitlyn cut her rambling off by leaning forward and smashing their lips together, making sure to pour all her love into the kiss. “You are the most perfect thing on this planet, Vi Kiramman.”
The name brought a shy smile to her face. “I didn’t want to lie but I thought it would be best in case I was told I shouldn’t because I sucked. But for what I was told, as long as we talk about how you are feeling it should be alright. Do you want to try it?”
“Yes, please. Let me just put some underwear on.”
A hand stopped her from stepping away. “You could just… not do that, if you are comfortable. I don’t mind it.” Her face turned as red as her hair, causing the woman to chuckle.
“Of course you wouldn’t mind.” Caitlyn giggled as she walked to the bed, letting the robe fall down to the floor before looking at her partner over her shoulder, a shiver of pleasure running down her spine once she noticed the way her eyes turned dark at the sight. “How do you want me, darling?”
The redhead snapped out of it before moving to fix some pillows on the bed. “On your side, please.” Her voice was quiet but with a softness that always made Caitlyn loved. She guided her to the right position, making sure that the pillows were where they should before walking to grab some lotions. “I love you, you know?”
“I love you too, darling. But I might love you even more if this works.” She jokingly shot back.
“Let’s hope it does,” she whispered before leaving a kiss on her wife’s bare shoulder. She started at the woman’s feet, making sure to follow every instruction that was told during the class. Not using deep pressure she started to massage her ankles, soft enough to not cause problems but firm enough that it drew a moan from the pregnant woman’s lips. “Is this fine?”
“God it is perfect darling. Just right.”
“Okay,” she said breathlessly. “Okay, just let me know if you feel uncomfortable at any point.”
Vi took a deep breath, trying to calm down her shaky hands before moving her hands to her wife's shoulders, slowly releasing the tension on her muscles. She couldn't stop herself from leaning down and leaving a gentle kiss on the side of the blue-haired woman's neck, burying her nose into the skin before continuing the massage.
Caitlyn felt like she was in Heaven. The redhead had always had magical hands, the woman was anything witness to the things they could do. But at that moment she felt like they had unlocked their true potential. Her body started to relax and even though she felt aroused, the cocoon of safety her wife's hands was providing was enough to make her eyes flutter close.
She couldn't remember the last time she felt this relaxed, the usually tight muscles were unwinding under the redhead's attentive care and the small pain she had felt all over her body from carrying their child was finally dissipating. She could hear herself sighing and moaning but couldn't bring herself to care. Her body finally felt like it used to before her stomach grew and she loved Vi even more for giving that back to her.
“Vi?” She whispered, her eyes still closed.
“Yes, your Highness?” The redhead kept her voice low but grinned widely at the shiver that went down her wife's back after hearing the pet name. It was unusual for her to use it, normally reserved for more intimate moments. And Vi knew perfectly that the moment they were sharing right then was the right one to use it.
“Can we do this again?” She was half asleep, her mind already struggling to catch on with what was happening around.
“Anytime you want, beautiful. Just say the word and you got it.”
“I'm falling asleep,” she warned before her brain turned to mush. “Sorry.”
“Don't apologize. Sleep. We can order in once you wake up.” The rumbling of her voice was a lullaby for the pregnant woman, quickly coaxing her to fall asleep.
It would take a few hours before Caitlyn rose back up, her body stretching as she snuggled back into the warm woman behind her. It seemed that at one point Vi had fallen asleep with her, spooning her while she snored quietly. She turned around on her arms before brushing red hair out of her face. She looked peaceful and the woman smiled widely before leaving a soft kiss on the redhead's cheek.
“Darling?” She whispered to try to wake her up.
Blue eyes snapped open, a drowsy look still over them. “I'm up. I'm up. You hungry?”
Caitlyn nodded, a rosy blush appearing on her face. “Let me grab the phone and we can order in.” She yawned as she tried to sit up.
“Caitlyn Kiramman, don't you dare move from this bed,” her wife playfully threatened. “You just relax in bed. Doctor… errr, masseuse's order.” She cheekily smiled before standing up.
“Yes ma'am. Just pass me the robe.”
Vi groaned, a glint of arousal on her eyes. “Do you must?” She asked but handed it anyway. Once the redhead was close enough the woman grabbed her wrist, pulling her down to leave a kiss that left her wife staring at her with a dopey grin.
“Thank you for everything, darling. I love you.”
“I love you too. Now, how does Jericho's sound?”
“It sounds perfect.”
