Esther gasped as Blaise came into her, moaning at the feeling of him filling her with his cum. It was odd, but she felt complete. She curled into his arms once he fell onto the bed next to her, snuggling close as she closed her eyes tiredly. She was more than ready to be back in their hotel room, where she could nap all day if she wanted.

She nodded in agreement at his words, peppering small kisses along his jaw as she pressed close. "I love you, Blaise.. Thank you."

@ katahdin

Blaise gently nipped her neck a few times before letting out a pleasant sigh. He couldn’t even think of getting up for the next few moments, so he stayed still, just enjoying what had happened. And the fact that he had a completely naked Esther besides him. Though, after a few moments, Blaise let out a tired sigh. “We should get dressed.” He whispered to her softly.

Slowly, Blaise peeled himself from the bed and headed over to the small table that held two pairs of clothes. His was just a sweatshirt and some jeans. And it seemed that Esther basically got the same as his. “Let’s get out of here.” He reached his hand out for hers.

@ BearGirl

Esther had nearly started to drift off to sleep when Blaise peeled himself away from her, earning a little whine in protest from her. She sighed reluctantly and sat up as well, pulling on the ill fitting clothes before taking his hand when he offered it, squeezing it gently. She wobbled a little on her legs when she stood, feeling a bit odd after everything that has happened, and she pouted up at Blaise tiredly.

"Will you carry me..?" She asked, reaching up to adjust the flower crown the cultists had put on her head, although it was much messier than it had been before the ritual.

@ katahdin

A low chuckle left his lips as he leaned down and picked Esther up, now carrying her bridal style. In truth, the man was exhausted as well but he wanted Esther to be as comfortable as possible. Especially after everything that had occurred. Now that they were both dressed, Blaise headed out of the tent and was greeted by the cultists once again. They seemed extremely pleased and were now getting ready to have a feast.

The leader offered to let them stay but Blaise was quick to deny it and ask for transportation back home. The leader then headed off to speak to one of the cultists about getting them a ride. Blaise looked down at Esther with warm, gentle eyes. "We will be at the hotel soon."

@ BearGirl

Esther happily curled into Blaise's arms as he carried her out of the tent, resting her head comfortably against his shoulder while he spoke with the cult leader about a ride. She smiled up at him when he said that they'd be home soon, pressing a small kiss to his lips before snuggling back into his arms with a tired sigh. She ended up falling asleep before their ride even got there, and she didn't wake until Blaise was walking into the hotel room with her, rubbing her eyes tiredly.

Once he set her down she headed to the bathroom to wash up before changing into her pajamas and crawling into bed with him, ready to get a good night's sleep and then have a peaceful time for the rest of their vacation. "Goodnight, Blaise. I love you." She murmured as she snuggled into his arms, looking forward to relaxing with him for the next week.

-Three Weeks Later-

The trip to Greece was coming to an end. They still had a few days left in the sun and sand before they had to go. But, if Blaise was honest, he was not ready for it to end. Though the beginning of their trip had been extremely rough, once they got back from the cultists, things really could not have gone smoother. Their bad luck had come to an end, and they were basically doing it like bunny rabbits all over Greece. And, of course, the both of them were able to go out, see the sights, and enjoy their vacation past a large amount of sex.

Right now, Blaise was laying out on the beach, looking over at Esther as she went to collect some seashells. She said something about putting them in a jar at home, but Blaise wasn't quite sure what for. Though, he wasn't overly concerned. There were plenty of spells that used elements from certain parts of the world so his best guess was something related to that.

Slowly, the man pushed himself onto his elbows as he watched his beautiful girlfriend. A large smile came over his lips before he shook his head and let out a low chuckle. "Don't you think you grabbed enough?" Blaise teased her.

@ BearGirl

The past three weeks had been amazing. Blaise had extended their trip by two weeks after their run in with the cult, and although she'd initially worried that taking a four week vacation was a bit excessive, she was very grateful for it. She'd finally been able to relax and enjoy their time off, and finally being able to be intimate with him was definitely a bonus. There were some days where they couldn't seem to keep their hands off of each other, and ended up staying in the hotel room all day, while other days they'd go out to see the sites for a few hours, before inevitably finding a private place to quickly make love. Overall, she was very happy with their vacation, and part of her wished they could stay like this forever.

However, she realized that that couldn't happen. They'd have to head back home sooner or later, and Esther knew she had to talk to Blaise about something rather serious before they did. She was supposed to have gotten her period nearly a week and a half ago, but when it was a few days late, she'd thought nothing of it. But when it had been more than a week, she'd panicked and bought a few pregnancy tests while at a pharmacy getting some aspirin for Blaise after he'd had too much to drink one night at dinner. She'd waited a few days to take them, hoping maybe her period would come and her worries would be for nothing, but she'd finally cracked and taken the tests last night after Blaise had gone to bed. All three of them confirmed her suspicions: she was pregnant.

She looked up from where she was crouching in the sand gathering shells, having used the activity as a chance to collect her thoughts on how to tell him the news. She smiled a bit at his teasing, heading back over to sit in the sand next to him, placing the shells she'd collected in the little pile by her bag. She'd packed the tests in the bag earlier, in case she'd decided to tell him and he wanted proof, and seeing them only made her feel guilty about not telling him yet. She didn't like keeping things from him, especially something as important as this.

"I'm pregnant." She blurted suddenly, staring down at her lap as she focused on one of the larger shells she'd found, turning the shell in her hands as she traced over the ridges while she waited for his response.

@ katahdin

The sudden news took Blaise by surprised. His body jolted a bit before he turned to Esther slowly. His eyes were wide and he could hear the blood rushing in his ears for a few moments. "What?" Blaise mumbled, trying to take a moment to process what Esther said and what it actually meant for the both of them.

After a few moments went by, Blaise felt like he was able to actually take in the sudden news. The sound of blood rushing quitened again but his heart was certainly beating faster than before. Though, Blaise looked over at Esther, uncertainly clouding his eyes. He didn't know how to take in the annoucement, for many reasons. But, especially because he didn't know how Esther felt about it. If she was happy about it, it would be easy for Blaise to get on board. He didn't exactly want a child this early in life but he, in general, did want children. But Esther was younger than him and they were both still only dating. That was worrisome either way.

Blaise leaned over and wrapped an arm around Esther's shoulders, pulling her in close to his side. "I'm sorry, I just don't know what to think and that was a very sudden annoucement." He said before clearing his throat a bit. "How do you feel? About being pregnant, that is. I mean, are you happy or..."

@ BearGirl

Esther blushed brightly as he asked her what she was talking about, reaching into her bag to pull out the tests she'd taken the night before, offering them to him. "I took them last night, after you went to sleep.. I-I didn't know how to tell you, and I didn't want to keep it from you so I just.. I-I didn't mean to tell you like this, I didn't want to just blurt it out.." she rambled on, her nerves getting the better of her.

She stopped speaking when he pulled her into his arms and began to apologizing, frowning a bit as she looked up at him as he asked how she felt, smiling nervously. "I.. I'm happy.. I mean, are you happy? I know you don't really want.. I mean, you'd rather wait, and.. and that's fine, I can always... You know, if you want.." she blushed, burying her face in the his chest as she wrapped her arms around him tightly. "I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen.."

@ katahdin

"I... I don't know how to feel." Blaise told her honestly, deciding that he didn't want to lie to her. "I mean, I want kids but I wasn't planning on having them this early. But I am not upset or anything, if that is what you're thinking. I am not mad or disappointed. And I am certainly not upset with you darling..." His nose wrinkled up a bit. "It's not your fault, at all, please do not apologize." He murmured gently as his fingers started to run through her hair.

A frown moved over his face, finding difficulty explaining how he felt when his own emotions were confusing to him. His arm held onto her a bit tighter, keeping Esther as close into him as possible. "I think I feel... a little happy but also worried." Blaise said before being quiet for a moment. Though, slowly, he started to nod. "Yes, I think that is how I feel. It is just that we are a little young, and I want you to be happy. So I am worried that you won't be because of this. But, I believe that we could handle raising a child...and, admittedly, I am a bit pleased that I'll be the father of one of your children. Though, I also don't want you to feel like we have to have a kid right now, I mean... I don't want to pressure you into anything... I uh..." Blaise dropped his head, feeling a bit embarassed. "I want to have kids with you, of course. But now is just a strange time, right? But I know we could do great if you want to raise a child together."

@ BearGirl

Esther relaxed a bit as he began to run his fingers through her hair, curling into his arms as he pulled her closer. She wasn't surprised that he was having mixed feelings, but at least they weren't overly negative feelings. He was happy, he wanted to have a baby with her.

Esther blushed a little as he spoke, looking up at him with a small frown. "I.. I want you to be the father of all of my children, Blaise, not just this one..." She murmured soflty, leaning her head against his shoulder. "I know you don't want to pressure me into anything, and you're not.. I.. I know it's weird timing, but... But I think I want this.. I.. I want to have this baby with you.." she was clearly nervous about putting herself out there like that, but it was the truth. She wanted to have a baby with him. This baby. Sure, the timing could have been better, but she had to believe that this had happened for a reason.

"But.. But if we have this baby, start a family.. I want to be married, I'd want to be your wife.." She murmured nervously, biting her lip. She knew that he'd probably object, thinking that they were rushing into things, but if she was going to have a child with him, she wanted them to be a family.

@ katahdin

A deep frown came over Blaise's lips as Esther mentioned getting married. Originally, he had been nodding, agreeing with her. But this was not something he would just agree to because of their current situation. "No, I do not think that would be a good idea," Blaise told her. "We should handle one thing at a time. You are pregnant now, the baby will be coming. So let's take care of that first."

Blaise didn't want to complicate the situation with a marriage. It would already be hard enough to handle the pregnancy and taking care of a child. The wedding would just be too much. And he didn't want to rush into anything else. While Blaise was sure that Esther was his future, he didn't want them to be in a situation that either of them would regret. What if she ended up changing her mind and didn't want to be with him? Or what if she just regretted marrying him too fast, or under these conditions? No, he didn't want it to go down like this.

@ BearGirl

Esther felt her heart break in two when he said that he didn't think getting married was a good idea, doing her best to hide her frown, which was easy with her head tucked into his chest. Maybe.. Maybe he didn't think of her like that.. Didn't think of her as being someone that he wanted to marry. It definitely hurt, a lot, but it was something she could learn to live with... She thought. "Yeah... Yeah, you're right.. Marriage is silly, anyway. Forget I said anything."

Clearing her throat, she pulled away from him, turning her attention to putting everything back in her bag, not bothering with the shells she'd collected. It'd been a silly idea anyway, Blaise had told her as much earlier, and she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of him anymore than she already had. "Um.. I-Im not feeling good, so I'm going to go back to the room. You should stay out here, though. Enjoy the sun. I'll be fine." She said quickly as she stood with her things, pressing a quick kiss to his cheek before hurrying off back to the hotel.

While she truly felt like she might be sick, she wasn't sure it was because of the pregnancy, and she didn't want him to see her cry.

@ katahdin

Blaise's frown only deepened when Esther basically ran away from him. He watched her pick up her things and rush towards the hotel. Of course, Blaise knew that he wasn't always great with communicating... but he wasn't so incompetent to see when Esther was overly upset. There was no doubt in his mind that he had said what he wanted to in the wrong way. Perhaps there was a better way to explain why he didn't want to get married yet. Or, maybe she was just upset that he said no at all.

Either way, Blaise would respect Esther's wishes of wanting to be alone for a bit. But, he wouldn't leave her for too long. Enough so that she could get the privacy she needed, but not enough where Blaise started to feel like he was abandoning her. He wanted to be there for Esther, even if it included having this conversation. She was important to him. Blaise hoped that she was able to see that.

After an hour had gone by, Blaise stood up and collected their things, even making sure to grab the seashells that Esther had left behind. He took a deep breath before making his way to the hotel room. Once there, he knocked on the door lightly before slowly peering inside.

@ BearGirl

Esther had taken a long shower and changed into her comfiest clothes while he'd been gone, and when he finally returned she was curled up on her side on the couch under a pile of blankets she'd found, going through the pictures she'd taken on her phone throughout the trip. There were a bunch from all the places they'd visited, along with a number of silly ones of Blaise, but the one she cared about most was that first one she'd taken, the nice one of him at the ruins. There were no photos of them together. Like their relationship didn't exist. He was everything to her. She knew she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him, that she wanted to marry him and start a family, and it had always seemed like Blaise wanted those things too... But maybe she'd been wrong.

She waited until he'd come sat down next to her before she spoke, voice quiet as she focused on the pictures on her phone. "When we go home, I'll get rid of it... I don't want to make you do anything you don't want to, Blaise.." she murmured softly, setting her phone down before tugging the blankets around her tighter as she risked a glance up at him, her eyes a bit red and puffy from crying.

@ katahdin

Blaise let out a sigh as Esther spoke. "If you want to get rid of the baby for yourself, then I will agree to that. But certainly don't do it for me. And don't do it because you think that is what I want." He looked over her gently. In truth, he thought she was being a bit dramatic about the wedding situation. There was no need to add additional stress to the fact that she was pregnant. And, what did it matter if they were married if they were going to have a kid together? Blaise just wanted to do things the right away and getting married just because she was pregnant was not the right way.

Reaching down, Blaise gently took her face into his hand. He raised it up, wanting Esther to look into his eyes. His thumb gently ran along the top of her cheek. He wanted to calm her down, to make Esther see the reason in his decisions. "I want to raise children with you, Esther. And, if you are ready to do that now, then I am too. But I understand if you want to wait before we start. But, understand this, I will not marry you just because you are pregnant. I love you. I love you so much. But I do not want a pregnancy to be the reason we are married. I love you, and I want to raise a child with you, can that be enough for now?"

@ BearGirl

Esther looked up at him when he lifted her head and began to speak. She didn't want to marry him just because she was pregnant, that wasn't what she'd meant at all. She wanted to marry him because she wanted to marry him, and wanted to be Mrs Reonas when their baby was born. But if he didn't want that...

She nodded, sitting up to move into his arms, burying her face in the crook of his neck. "I love you too, Blaise. So so much." She murmured softly, gently tracing circles on his chest with her finger. She smiled after a moment, snuggling closer as she tugged the blankets around them. "We're going to have a baby.." She knew she'd try to talk to him again about marriage after they got home, and maybe she'd try talking to his mother to try to get her help in getting him to understand the reason she wanted to marry him. But that was a conversation for later. For now, she'd focus on the pregnancy.

@ katahdin

Blaise felt relief when Esther moved to snuggle into him. A large smile came over his face and he was quick to wrap his arms around her tightly. He pulled her in close, holding Esther as close to him as he could. It seemed that whatever he had said had worked, that she was understanding what he really wanted for the both of them. His face buried into her hair and he took in a deep breath. "We're going to have a baby." Blaise whispered into her hair before a light chuckle left him. It was strange to think that they would be parents soon.

Slowly, Blaise fell back so that Esther was laying on top of him. He relaxed into the bed, holding her close into his body. "We have a few more days of the trip, just you, me and our little baby. Though, when we get home, you need to make a doctor's appointment right away."

@ BearGirl

A little giggle left her lips as he pulled her in tight, wrapping her arms around him happily. "We're going to have a baby." She repeated with a smile, snuggling into his arms when he laid back on the bed, pressing small kisses to his chest. She nodded a bit when he spoke about needing to make a doctor's appointment, looking up at him with a smile.

"I emailed my doctor to schedule an appointment as soon as I found out last night... Do you want to come?" She asked, wondering if he'd want to come to her appointments with her, or if he'd rather stay at home during them. She moved to straddle his waist with a smile tracing patterns on his chest while she looked down at him. "Does having a baby mean we can't have sex anymore, and have to sit around not doing anything for the last few days of vacation?"

@ katahdin

"Yes, I want to come." Blaise was quick to tell her. There was no way that he was going to let Esther go to her appointments alone. Even if, for whatever reason, he couldn't go, Blaise wanted someone to be with her. "I want to come to all of them if I can." He told her gently. "I want to be a part of all of this, every single step if you'll let me." A little smile came over his lips as he thought about it. Blaise would be by her side, and he was excited about becoming a father.

Though those thoughts quickly left his mind as Esther started to straddle his waist. His smile turned into a smirk, lust starting to enter his eyes. Slowly, his hands dropped down until they were gripping her hips, holding her down on him. The man let out a low hum as Esther started to work on tracing patterns on his chest. "It certainly does not mean that." Blaise murmured to her. "In fact, I think it means we should fuck as much as we can before you don't want to anymore."
