"Oh, of course not right away. Could you imagine trying to juggle Aiden and a newborn? Besides, I'd like at least a chance to get my figure back." He chuckled.

[Eskal]

"I can help with that," Marius offered.

[FweepFwopFwoop]

"Oh, I hope so. All this junk I've been eating… I can only imagine what I'm going to look like once Aiden gets here.

[Eskal]

"You'll look fine as hell," Marius said. "Granted, you always are."

[FweepFwopFwoop]

Astien grinned and blushed. "I'm lucky man, then, to have someone who thinks that."

(Off to work. Kisses~)

[Eskal]

Marius smiled and kissed Astien's neck.

[FweepFwopFwoop]

Astien and Marius stayed like that for a while, just cuddling and speaking sweet, sappy words. A bit later, Astien took them down to the music room and put on a record, the music slow and sweet as their bodies rocked back and forth.

I don't want to set the world on fire.
I just want to start,
A flame in your heart.

[Eskal]

Marius gently swayed to the music as he held Astien.

[FweepFwopFwoop]

"Aiden's moving too." Astien placed Marius' hand on his belly. "Can you feel it? I think he likes this song too."

[Eskal]

Marius smiled as he felt Aiden move. "It's a nice song."

[FweepFwopFwoop]

"It's such a sweet song. It's one if my favorites." Astien leaned his head on Marius' shoulder. "It just won't get any better than this."

[Eskal]

"Then we'll have to work extra hard to make the wedding really something," Marius chuckled.

[FweepFwopFwoop]

"Except for the wedding, of course." Astien blushed. "The wedding is going to be amazing."

[Eskal]

Marius smiled and kissed Astien's head. "I was merely teasing."

[FweepFwopFwoop]

Astien blushed and playfully shoved his fiancé. Then he went back to resting his head on his shoulder. "From now on, this is our song."

[Eskal]

"Alright," Marius said as he stroked Astien's hair.

[FweepFwopFwoop]

The song finished, but the two stayed there, simply swaying from side to side. Astien's eyes were closed, and a large smile sat upon his face.

[Eskal]

Marius smiled and gently rubbed Astien's back.

[FweepFwopFwoop]

"You know, I could petition for ownership o the foal. It ws conceived before the horse was registered with the academy." He gave his belly a small rub. "Aiden could have a horse of his very own."

[Eskal]

"You should," Marius said. "Every kid wants a pony. Though...I wanted a pet turtle."
