Chapter 13: Space invader

We tumbled into the bedroom leaving a trail of clothes, lifting me by my thighs he pressed me against the wall kissing me with all the heat and passion. Our tongues dancing together, soft moans left my lips as he kissed down my neck. I thread my fingers through his hair and gave a small tug. “I want you.” I moaned pushing our mouths back together. He made a noise turning us to walk to the bed. He set me down gently pulling away to trail kisses down my body down my legs and back up again. I trapped his waist in my legs, “I said I wanted you.” He smirked “and I want to take my time devouring my wife.” I blushed then and he unhooked my legs and kissed lower again. I bit my lip nervously, I’d never been this intimate with anyone, I mean s*x is one thing but this was a little more. Once he started though I didn’t want him to stop, and he didn’t until I was twitching from the mind blowing orgasm. He came up with a wide grin. “you look so pleased with yourself.” I teased as he slid up my body. “I am.” He kissed me hard again pressing his hips into me. His movements becoming more hurried. I loved the feeling of him inside me, taking me, claiming me. I’m his and no one will ever be able to change that. He moaned loudly, as I felt him pulse inside me and for the second time I fell over the edge. Breathing hard he rolled to the side pulling me into his side. “f**k” he panted closing his eyes. I kissed his chest, “I mean I think we just did.” Teasing him again I trailed my hand down to just below his belly button. “I think I’m going to need a minute if your already thinking what I think you are.” I giggled at his surprise. “no round two yet, I’m completely satisfied in this moment.” I replied kissing him softly. I was thankful our friends didn’t stick around, the moment these tattoos showed up it was like a furnace lit inside us and we just well, needed each other. Now that the fire was quenched the thoughts of the day came back. Holy s**t we are like actually married. Well married in the Nephilim way, but married none the less. “So do I change my last name from Thrain to Thrain or? “ I giggled as Taren thought about it seriously. “I think maybe we both need to change our last names.” I looked at him confusion I’m sure all over my face. “what?” he sighed. “to be honest I always wanted to have my moms last name it only seemed right but she insisted it would mean something to me one day. Well it does and I don’t want it.” I smiled a small smile. “I understand what you mean.” He pulled me on top of him , sitting up I laced my fingers with his. “so what is her last name?” he kissed my hand. “Tyler” I smiled. “Mr. And Mrs. Tyler I think I like that.” He laughed, “yeah I do too.” I kissed him quickly then kissed down his neck, slowly sliding down his chest and then to his stomach. “what are you doing.” He laughed brushing my hair back. “Devouring my husband.”

I don’t know when we fell asleep but I woke up running for the bathroom. I threw up every bit of food we’d had last night. Taren came in flipping on the bathroom light and pulled my hair back. “you okay?” I took a few deep breaths. “ew don’t watch this.” I tried to push him back but another wave of vomit hit. “Hey we may not of said them but it still stands in sickness and in health babe.” If I wasn’t busy right now I’d have rolled my eyes at him. He rubbed my back until I finished and sat back against the wall. “I’m going to get you some water.” He left and I stood to clean myself up starting with brushing my teeth. He came back as I fished rising my mouth. “thanks.” I took the water and gulped it down. “you better?” I shook my head “yeah I guess it must have been something I ate.” He nodded and I turned on the shower determined to wash the gross I now felt away. “what time is it?” I asked as he leaned against the doorway. “5 I was just about to go feed the horses when I heard you.” “I’m sorry you don’t need to worry I’m okay but I’m not so sure I’m going to school today in case it comes back.” He handed me a towel as I got out. “that’s probably a good idea. I don’t have a lot of classes today so I’ll hurry home.” I kissed his cheek, “Okay be safe please.” Before heading outside he pulled a shirt over my head and laid me back in bed. “I love you Melinda.” I smiled “I love you too.” I curled up under the covers and drifted back to sleep quickly.

I woke up again looking at the clock. What the f**k! It’s 5pm! I jumped out of bed scrambling to my phone and to see if Taren was home yet. Thankfully my heart calmed when his message read that he was stopping to pick me up some soup and he’d be back a little late. Benji was sprawled out on the bed eying me like I’d just committed a crime. “dude don’t look at me like that you’re the one who let me sleep all day.” He groaned as he stretched and jumped off the bed. Okay outside you go. I guess puking took a lot out of me. I got myself a drink of water and waited on the porch for Benji to do his thing. The front door opened and Taren came in with a bouquet of flowers a bag of groceries and a paper sack of what I’m sure was my soup. I smiled stepping back inside. “you got me flowers?” he blushed “yeah I thought maybe they’d make you feel better.” I took them and inhaled the fragrance “they’re beautiful thank you, and I feel pretty good considering I just woke up like 15 minutes ago.” His eyes went wide. “whoa maybe I should’ve stayed home to look after you.” I laughed a little. “I’m a big girl I’ll be fine.” The soup was delicious, and made my stomach extremely happy. Which would’ve been great if I didn’t end up puking my guts out again a few hours later. Finally Friday I decided to just suck it up and make it to my classes one way or another. So I threw up my hair pulled on my favorite yoga pants, and shirt and hopped in the truck with Taren. “you sure your okay? You don’t need to go to school it’s the last day before break.” I sighed “yeah well I have tests today, and I really can’t take a zero on them.” He took my hand. He was always dressed sexy but for some reason today he was even hotter. Maybe it was the way he rolled his sleeves to his elbows showing off his tattoo or the way his Jeans hugged his muscular thighs. Damn I’m like a drooling dog. I slid closer to him and kissed the stubble along his jaw and slid my hand between his legs. “whoa hey!” he grabbed my hand as he swerved a little. I giggled sitting back in my seat. “just giving you something to think about today.” He shook his head but by the way he adjusted himself I knew I’d got him. “devil women.” A while later we pulled into the parking lot. I grabbed his face before we got out and kissed him softly. “I love you and I’m grateful to have you.” I said pulling back from him. His returning smile made my heart melt. He kissed my forehead “ditto.” I rolled my eyes when a knock on his window startled us both. He rolled down the window. “Hey Kristen what’s up?” I tried to hide my face but I mean at this point it really didn’t matter she’d probably already seen us kissing. “Hey I just realized your busy and never mind.” Of course she did, I think she’s still very interested. “oh how nice giving your student a ride to school.” He took My hand. “actually Kristen, this is my wife.” I would be lying if I didn’t love the look of shock on her face right now. That’s right he’s taken. “oh so it wasn’t just a coincidence the same names then?” I mean yes but she doesn’t need to know that. He smiled, “no it’s not, she just ended up in my class by mistake we wanted to keep it quiet.” He lied smoothly, her jaw ticked but then she smiled at me. “well I’m happy for you Taren, when was the wedding? I mean it was only what 9 months ago since we broke up.” I eyed Taren. He winked at me. “ about 5 months now? We married quickly” I held out my ring. “ he asked and I said yeah he’s my soul mate.” I gushed I opened my door sliding out. “anyways I’ll see you after school husband, have fun!” I blew him a kiss and started heading for my class . Mar was sitting in our normal seats staring at his phone. Why is everyone so weird today? I sat next to him as he chewed one of his perfectly painted nails. “ so what’s wrong?” I asked pulling his hand away from his mouth. “Max he’s so I don’t know.” I smiled “Marlow frazzled this is new.” He stuck his phone in front of me.

M: I had a good time last night ;) let’s do it again.

I stared at it for a moment. “what exactly did you do?” he shrugged. “well he kissed me I may have kissed back I don’t even know it was a thing and then” I cut him off “wait did you have s*x with Max?” I gasped. “No! We just made out a then I kind of freaked out because like he’s so masculine and hot and I’m just like weird and we’re not supposed to do that were supposed to all be this team but like how am I supposed to be a team with your husband’s guardian this isn’t guardians united or whatever.” I laughed I couldn’t hold it in, I’ve never seen him like this. “so in other words you like him?” “oh God yes I do.” He flopped his head on his desk. I rubbed his back “ I think he likes you too Mar, and he is pretty cute he’s got muscles and that country guy sexy.” Marlow groaned, “extreme country guy sexy and he's soooooo good at magic! Way better then I am and that’s seriously saying something. I’m really good!” I hugged him and stroked his hot pink hair. “Mar any guys is lucky to have you and I’ve got your back if he’s a d**k so he better treat you right. And btw you are the best warlock around period he doesn’t even hold a candle to you.” The teacher came in and handed out stacks of tests to be passed back. “you got this just show him who you are, and he’ll love you as much as I do.” Here’s to failing this test miserably. “oh I may need you to erase a bitches memory, it’s Taren’s ex.” A smile appeared on his face. “oh I can’t wait to hear this one.” I rolled my eyes and started the test. In all honesty I probably did better then I think I did but it wasn’t easy. Missing two days of class just isn’t something you do and I’ve unfortunately been doing a lot of that lately. During my break I headed for Taren’s office hoping to see him and thankfully I caught him on lunch. “ooo cafeteria food looks good.” I stole a bite of the pasta and kissed him. “ you seem a lot better.” He smiled at me. “I was a little nauseous earlier but I feel okay.” He pulled me into his lap. “I’m Glad. Marlow asked me to give you this. Said to wait till you were alone” I smiled at the cute little gift wrapped box. “he's so weird, your bestie and him got off on a fun foot.” Stole another bite of Taren’s food and started to open the box. “oh I know Max called, and your supposed to wait.” I laughed and froze as soon as it registered what it was. I shove the box under my shirt and kissed Taren’s cheek rushing to get out of his office. “hey where r u going what is it?” I shoved it into my bag and threw it over my shoulder. “just the wizard being cheeky I gotta get going I love you and I’ll see you in a little bit!” I was out of that room like a bat out of hell. I ran straight for the girls bathroom pulling the box out of my bag. A f*****g pregnancy test. Obviously if Mars giving me this I already know the answer but it didn’t stop me from tearing it open and peeing on that stupid stick. I was so preoccupied with everything and love that I seriously forgot protection? Takes two to tango Mel and Taren forgot too. “So is it positive?” Marlow’s voice sounded from outside the stall door. “Way to ruin a mood Mar I’m freaking out.” I pulled up my pants capping the test and walked out waiting on the result. “This is just what I need right now.” He smiled “it really is.” I threw my bag at him. “I’m being sarcastic.” i turned the test over two pink lines. Son of a b***h I can not be pregnant right now, not with everything going on, and I can’t keep it from Taren. “Mel it’s going to be okay. I’ve seen her and she is beautiful.” I glared at him. “that helps no one. I’m processing, how do I have a baby while in a war? I’m so f*****g stupid.” Marlow frowned and put his arm around me. “Mel it’s going to be okay, we’re going to win and you are a badass. A badass queen at that so don’t doubt yourself.” I shook my head, “it’s not myself I’m worried about its Taren how is he going to take this? How do I tell him? Just hey were dumbasses who forgot the basics to s*x and not reproducing, and I’m pregnant?” Marlow’s laugh wasn’t reassuring. “Mel he’s going to be so happy, I promise.” A tear slid down my cheek and I touched my stomach. “a girl? Taren’s going to have his hands full with us.” Marlow laughed. “you have no idea, two of you is going to be a handful for us all.” I punched his arm playfully. “I guess that means uncle Mar better get his apartment baby proofed for sleepovers then.” The horrified expression on his face made me snort laugh. “um look uncle Mar will work on that.” He obviously didn’t think about the play dates that would be happening. “They say it takes a village and your kind of my village.” He hugged me tightly. “okay so when you going to tell hubby?” and that is a problem how do I tell him? “I don’t know.” I answered honestly. “I do think we need to leave asap if we’re going to be breaking into the kingdom, at this point I need to talk to my parents sooner rather than later.” He agreed. “that’s what Max and I were talking about too.”

Later that evening I sat in the barn watching Taren take care of his horses. “what was it Marlow gave you?” I paused thinking about what to tell him. “something surprising, can’t tell you yet.” My mind wandered to what our daughter might look like who she’d look like. If she’d have Taren’s ocean blue eyes or my curly hair. “ Max and him also are planning on coming tomorrow morning so we can leave for the kingdom.” He frowned “tomorrow, I thought we weren’t leaving for a few more days?” Benji nudged my hand to pet him. “We need the help sooner rather then later.” He walked lily back to her stall. “ I’ll call mom see if she doesn’t mind watching Benji and the girls for us.” I smiled “they’ll be okay, Taren it’s only a couple days.” He kissed me quickly before turning to Reno. “that’s easy for you to say you don’t look forward to carrots.” I laughed “no but I’m sure your mom will be giving them all the treats.” “yeah to many.” I could see that she’d definitely do that. How would we tell her she was going to be a grandmother? She still doesn’t know we’re married yet. Maybe when all this is over we can actually live our lives peacefully, maybe we can keep our lives here. I know we’re future rulers to the kingdom and the gods but does that really mean we have to stay there? The thought saddened me I want this kind of simplicity for our family. I want our daughter to grow up loving horses like her dad, and Benji. I want her to grow up here in this house and on her grandma’s farm. “hey you okay?” Taren cupped my face. “of course, I’m just happy.” He kissed me deeply, pulling me into him.

We never made it past the living room, how are we supposed to get anything done if we can’t keep our hands off each other? Taren pulled me close and covered us with a blanket from the couch. “thanks.” His hand ran small circles on my hip. I know I need to tell him soon about our little invader, Nephilim pregnancies are different from humans, they progress very fast over a span of five months verses the nine. “Taren I need to tell you something.” Before he could answer the front door came open. “Sweetheart Is everything- oh!” Taren threw the blanket over me and grabbed the pillow on the couch. “Ma what are you doing.” Oh my god. She blushed and turned around. “I’m sorry I was worried you weren’t answering my calls.” I made a mental note that if the mother in law would be coming over like this Wed only be having s*x in the bedroom. She turned again as Taren scrambled for his pants. “and what the hell is on your arm Taren honey what the hell is going on.” He pulled on his shirt and helped me off the ground. “I’ll explain it once my wife gets her clothes on. Ma you can’t just come in like that.” His face was red and it was so cute seeing him embarrassed. A man came into the door now. “Daisy what’s all the oh!” the man’s eyes widened and he blushed seeing me wrapped in the blanket. I’m guessing this is the husband. “Oh f**k okay babe clothes.” Taren motioned for me to go to our room and I hurried out of there. Not only now did his mom see us naked her husband walks in too. I heard her yelling now. “what do you mean wife? You married and didn’t even tell me? Taren what is happening .” I slipped one of my dresses over my head and headed back out into the fire. “ma look we are adults we made a decision.” She was frantic grabbing his arm to look at the intricate tattoo. “what is this! You don’t even like tattoos.” I was confused I mean he’s an adult? “Ma it’s deeper then that it’s a-“ I interrupted him. “it’s something that hasn’t happened between our kind in a extremely long time, something that died out a long time ago.” I reached for Taren’s hand lacing our fingers together. “Taren and I aren’t just in love were mates, and that makes us special in a way. These aren’t just tattoos they are a symbol of our bond.” I held out my wrist showing the bracelet around my wrist that matched. “it showed up once the Marriage bond spell was done.” He added, and that was the first time I realized Henry was still in the room. My eyes widened, “don’t worry he knows, what is a mate.” She waved me off, she’s pretty upset I think. “it’s like a true love a soul mate, we were like made for each other.” I squeezed his hand, and waited for her response. “Ma I’m a man, I know what I’m doing and your going to have to trust me trust us, because Mel’s my heart she’s a part of my soul.” I smiled up at him, his blue eyes sparkling a little. “I can see that.” Daisy’s rigid stance softened. “I’m sorry I know your not a child you haven’t been for a long time just all this is fast.” I took a deep breath, as nausea hit me. It is all very fast. “Taren I need to say something and if everyone is here then I guess I need to get it out of the way.” He looked at me with his eye brows pulled. “okay, what’s up.” I took a deep breath again. “ I’m pregnant.” I said it so fast I wasn’t even sure what had came out my mouth. “what?” he said and Daisy covered her mouth. “we are having a baby?” I said again my voice squeaking a little. There was no emotions on his face. “look I was trying to tell you then this all happened and that’s what Mars gift was and it’s like crazy to me too and please breathe Taren.” I stood in front of him my hands on his cheeks. “ there’s a baby inside you? Like my baby?” I rolled my eyes. “no Hitler’s who’s else would it be babe?” I let go of his face, but before I could even take my next breath I was being picked up and kissed hard. He spun and I had to hold back the vomit. “Taren your going to make me puke.” He set me down. “oh sorry.” He was smiling now “your not like freaking out or worried or scared.” He laughed, “don’t get me wrong babe I’m terrified but I’m also very happy.” I smiled “I’m going to have a grandbaby?” I turned forgetting his mom was here. “well a granddaughter to be exact, or so Marlow says.” Her eyes lit up. “I don’t know who Marlow is but I’ve been dying for some pink in my life!” I laughed. “He’s my guardian but that’s a story for another time.” I never would of thought they’d be so happy, nervous maybe even scared like I’ve been but Taren basically beaming was not really something I expected. “I feel really embarrassed about barging in here.” Henry stood. “We should probably leave the two alone, I told you there was no reason to check on the boy.” She rolled her eyes as he put his hand on her waist. “its fine, ma.” She hugged us both and turned. “Oh and dear ill watch the animals this weekend don’t worry about a thing have a good time.” They waved and walked out the door but I felt Taren stiffen. “Your not going in there without me.” I sighed and turned to face him. “Taren I think we need to stick to the plan ill be in and out in no time and Marlow is good at what he does he wouldn’t put me, or us in any danger.” I laid a hand on my stomach, this is real this little invader is real. “Mel no, its out of the question at this point I go with you or were not going.” He put his hand on top of mine and looked into my eyes worry written all over his face. I wanted him with me I did but the more of us there are that go in the more of a chance we get caught. “Taren its not okay, you have to trust me too.” He pressed his forehead to mine. “I do trust you, I really do there’s just so much more at stake now and now not only could I lose you I could lose her too.” I smiled “your not going to lose us ever, that is not something you have to worry about.” he kissed me. “Okay.” Was all he said before leaning down to kiss my stomach. “How long do we have till we meet this space invader?” I laughed “Space invader huh? I’m not sure its hard to tell I just know its about 5 months for Nephilim pregnancies.” Taren’s eyes went wide. “That’s it?” I shook my head. “s**t there’s going to be a lot to do.” I laughed again thinking about the room I’ve been avoiding unpacking. “Yeah, and a lot of other things.”
