Page 34 of Under My Bed

Our child looked more human than a demon, though. Kastoron assured me it was normal, that Killian's demon form wouldn't start to kick in until his teen years. Apparently, it was typical for half-demon children to look more like the other parent to blend in with their society and live within it easily—it made perfect sense to me. If Killian had been a full demon, he would look like a demon.

Even though he looked more human right now, some of Kastoron's features could still be seen through Killian, especially his catty eyes, which always meant trouble. Unfortunately, my looks were all Killian got from me; his personality was nearly all Kastoron's—very unfortunate for me. The house never knew a moment of boredom with those two. I don't think I've had much peace to myself since I gave birth to Kastoron's personal trickster assistant. The two of them practically pranked me nearly every minute of every day.

I didn't mind it, of course. It was refreshing and lovely to watch Kastoron with Killian. Damn demon was so nervous about fucking up his own child that he became such a helicopter parent until I gave him a swift kick in the ass. I mean, I understood his worries—hell, I was worried about being a bad mother myself. But still, that didn't give him a right to be so uptight and overly cautious with our child to where he wasn't enjoying life.

"Thank you for gifting me all of it and allowing me to be a part of it." Kastoron leaned down and kissed my forehead, smiling at me adoringly.

"Thank you for coming back to me. None of this would have happened if you hadn't." I threw back at him with a grateful smile.

"No. Thank you for giving me a chance I definitely didn't deserve." He argued with a playful grin and chuckle.

Shaking my head, I decided to let him win this time because I was too exhausted to get into this with him this morning. "I'll make breakfast in a bit. I just need a few more seconds." I mumbled, burying my face into my pillow.

A big, warm hand rubbed my bare back. "No, rest, you need it. I got it handled like always, so don't worry." A soft kiss fell on my temple before I felt the bed shift and the sounds of footsteps exiting the room scratched at my eardrums.

Yeah, after a long day at a wedding shoot and coming home to Kastoron fucking me into the next lifetime, I definitely deserved some extra Z's this morning. Kastoron was more than competent enough to keep himself and our child safe and occupied.

Unfortunately, the small nap turned into full-on sleep because it was nearly dinner time when I woke up to Kastoron shaking me. "Holy shit, why did you let me sleep so long?" I probably needed it, but I didn't like sleeping a potentially productive day away like that. I could have been editing pictures or booking new clients!

Chuckling amusingly, he shook his head at me, "Again, shit can't be holy."

Sighing softly, he sat down on the edge of the bed and pulled me into his lap. "Stella doll, I tried earlier with lunch, but you weren't budging one bit. I nearly called the doctor, but you were still breathing, and your mind was still present from what I sensed. One day of rest isn't going to kill you, darling." He still seemed too worried for my liking.

Placing my hand comfortingly on his face, I smiled at him reassuringly. "Hey, you're right. A day's rest won't kill me, especially with all the projects I've been working overtime on." Yeah, I bit off more than I could chew—sue me. "I don't need to get the wedding photos back for a few more days anyway. So, let's plan a family outing?"

Yes, Kastoron was no longer chained to the property. Actually, turns out he was free when he pulled on his big demon pants and manned up. Aesophedus may or may not have intentionally 'forgotten' to mention it to Kastoron—whoops.

"Kas?" I looked at him questionably when he remained quiet and stared off in thought. It only worried me more when I couldn't get into his head. "Is something—"

"When was the last time you bled?" The serious question and tone came out of nowhere as Kastoron intensely searched my face for an answer.

It took me a second to figure out what he meant after my shock died down. "If you're referring to my menstrual cycle or a period as it's more commonly known, then it was…" Last month?

Right…?

… Fucking shit…

No, stop it, stop freaking yourself out. You had a period last month.

"Last month towards the end," I replied with a scoff of disbelief as I mentally scolded myself for giving myself a scare.

"What was the date?" Kastoron pressed as he stroked my hair.

Scrunching my face, I looked at him warily. "I don't know, around March 23rd." That sounded about right? Yet, why did I have this sinking feeling in my stomach?

"Doll, it's May, nearly June." He deadpanned, making the feeling turn into full-blown nausea.

Denial was quick to set in as my anxiety rose to an all-time high. There was nothing wrong with having another child, but Kastoron and I have never had a talk about expanding the family yet. The two of us were more than content with Killian and where we were in life right now as a whole.

Did he even want another child?

In my shock, I accidentally dropped the mental block between us.

'Honey, why would you even worry about that? Any child we create is a miracle and a blessing who I will forever cherish and love just as I do you. Unplanned or not, I will love them all the same.' Kastoron smiled reassuringly as he held my face. "If you are pregnant, I'll just start expanding the house sooner than later." Pinching my cheek softly, he boops my nose, "But don't worry about that for now until we get a confirmation from the doctor, alright?"

Humming softly, I nodded in response before giving him a quick kiss. "Will you still love me after I get fat again?" It was a slight worry that dangled in the back of my mind still. I might love my body, but sometimes, I found it hard during moments when things swung low. Especially after having a child, my body wasn't how it used to be.

I was curvier, with more thighs and rolls around my stomach to where I had a permanent little muffin top pouch going on. Kastoron always insisted that he loved all of me because this body was the one to nurture our child and bring him into this world. He also loved how softer and fuller I was for him to snuggle and love.

Deviously, he smirked at me and threw me onto the bed, caging me between his body. "Do we need another photoshoot?" He asked with a wickedly playful grin as he trailed a finger down my body.

"Killian is busy with Valphan's kid for the next few hours. I can easily grab the camera and summon some shadows to play with you while I get the perfect shots." He whispered hotly in my ear before nipping it and raising some shadow tendrils to sway in the air teasingly.

Gulping, I turn my gaze from him to hide my excitement. Too bad he wasn't gonna let me off the hook that easily. "Hm? Well? Don't you think we need another well-shot picture of my cock splitting your tight cunt open? I so loved how detailed your puffy lips wrapped around my length. Then, that perfect shot of your orgasming face," groaning with a satisfied growl, he grinned at me, "Fucking perfection."

"S-shut up and grab my camera."

"Atta girl, there's my good little slut coming out to play."
