Seth was deeply relaxed and content, sleep was very close. As he closed his eyes and was starting to finally give in, something startled him.
He felt the body of his lover shift out of their embrace. "Huh?..."
"Oh sorry to wake you, darling. I didn't mean to interrupt your sleep, love. I wanted to make room for you to sleep more comfortably." Marcus said with softness in his voice. He reached out and placed his hand on his lover's warm cheek. Seth could only see love and caring in the man he imprinted on. "Well there is room for both of us in this bed, Marcus." Seth said patting his left side of the bed now empty.
Marcus seemed to think about it for a while. His features slightly scrunched. He wanted his partner to rest. After all, he was carrying his impossible-but-welcome child inside him. Carrying their child has taken quite the toll on Seth.
"Oh, c'mon, Marcus you know you want to." Seth said with a glint of lust in his brown eyes. Thinking of what had transpired between them earlier that morning.
Seth had woken up incredibly nauseous and Marcus was there before Seth's foot had even touched the ground. As he retched in the toilet Marcus had gotten him a wet towel to put on his forehead. He carried Seth to bed and made him his favorite tea. Seth didn't really like tea until then, but seeing his partner in the kitchen pulling ingredients together and making drinks for the first time in centuries brought a smile to his lips. Afterwards, Marcus gave him a foot rub, massaging Seth's poor swollen feet. As he lay in their comfy new bed, he let himself relax, nausea gone for now. He felt his body relax and was feeling a certain stir in his sleep pants. Marcus could only smirk, his lover having quite the appetite. When Seth wasn't bent over a toilet he was bent over their bed, it felt like. He was insatiable.
A smile spread across Marcus's face and obliged. Getting comfortable and pulling his wolf lover closer to him while laying down he kissed Seth's temple. "Seth go to sleep. You've had a rough day."
Seth now remembered what happened earlier that afternoon, pressing a hand to his belly. With a yawn he started to snuggle up against Marcus's cold body and looked deeply in the old vampire's eyes.
"Marcus. Kiss me." Seth whispered. Holding Marcus's hand and lifting it to his cheek. Having Sam and the pack's phonecall replaying in his mind. He knew they wouldn't understand. They had their own partners, why couldn't they understand that he was at home now? He had a life with him in Italy and he wasn't moving back.
Marcus had heard their voices through the phone, he heard them warning Seth that he's making a mistake. He knew that Seth had imprinted on him hours after their faceoff with the Cullen's. This young wolf had followed them and demanded to speak to him. Aro wanted to touch this young man's hand, but Marcus stood up to him. The wolf-turned-man had a look in his eye, it emoted a feeling that Marcus had long forgotten. Seth's family had lost their minds, yet it was Marcus who took convincing the most. He had long been without a partner, he had one centuries ago. The phonecall had been awaited, but it took a turn. Seth's heartbeat was sounding like a little bird's, it wasn't good. He was at Seth's side in the blink of an eye. He looked at Seth, not tearing the phone from his lover's hand, but gently grabbing the phone. He pressed the red button and tossed the phone to the side. He gave the wolf a gentle squeeze to his shoulder and exited the room, knowing he would like some space.
"Are you sure Seth?" asked Marcus, enjoying the warmth his partner radiated on his palm. He was giving him space, he knew that Seth would want to put his emotions at bay so as not to hurt his partner's feelings. He would put Marcus's feelings above his own, he was too sweet for his own good, it was one of the qualities he loved the most about him, but it wasn't what was good for him all the time. It was dangerous in his world, but Marcus would always put Seth and their expectant child above anyone or anything else.
"Of course I'm sure. Today should be behind us now. You can kiss me all you want now." Seth smiled faintly. Marcus grinned at him. His expecting partner needed to feel safe and loved. They didn't want to talk about it then. He had him with him now and that's all that mattered.
His visit back to Washington wasn't the easiest journey. He had a lot to deal with. Being separated from Marcus felt like the hardest thing in the world. He couldn't stand to be separated, but it had to be done.
"Seth, you don't know how long I've waited for this and for you to be back home with me." He grabbed the wolf's face in his hands. "Shhhh, me, too. Now kiss me. You know you want to. I've been missing your lips all afternoon," the young man smirked. He seemed to be quickly getting in a nice mood. "Yes, I do," Marcus faintly said as his lips were, but a centimeter apart. And as their lips were barely touching Seth felt a kick in his stomach and Marcus gently placed a hand on his lover's stomach, now starting to show what their love made, their baby.
"Darling, I can't wait until our child arrives." Placing his hand over his he says,"Me either."
"Seth?"
"Hm?"
"Kiss me. You know you want to." He frees up a hand to lift his partners chin.
Seth smiled as his lover used his line from a couple of seconds ago. "You know I'll always want to." And Seth captured his lover's lips with a soft and gentle kiss knowing that nothing will ever stop them.
