[FweepFwopFwoop]

Astien panted heavily and took deep breaths. "Ow... Please, please, please break..."

[Eskal]

Marius kept going. "I'll do the best I can, Babe."

[FweepFwopFwoop]

Astien tried to keep his cries down, so as not to wake their sleeping friends. Slowly, the pregnant man's penis stood to attention. "It feels good, but it still hurts."

[Eskal]

"I know, Babe. I wish I could do more to help."

[FweepFwopFwoop]

Eventually, Astien came, and dismounted from his husband's penis. Standing up on shaky legs, he gripped his belly as another contraction came. "I don't think it worked." He said, sadly.

[Eskal]

Marius cleaned himself off and put his clothes back on. He rubbed Astien's back. "Sorry, Babe."

[FweepFwopFwoop]

Astien groaned. "I'm so tired. I'm so jealous of you, and Cormac, and Wyn. You could all sleep. I can't."

[Eskal]

"I offered to stay up with you," Marius said.

[FweepFwopFwoop]

"You shouldn't have to. You should be allowed to sleep." Astien smiled weakly. "Besides, once Aiden's here, I want his daddy to be holding him, not sleeping."

[Eskal]

Marius kissed Astien's lips. "I'm not going to sleep while you're pushing him out. We're all going to be there to help you."

[FweepFwopFwoop]

"How about, you just sleep, and I'll screm when I start pushing."

[Eskal]

"Only if I get to sleep beside you," Marius stated.

[FweepFwopFwoop]

Astien nodded. "Of course. It's getting late. Why don't you go and tuck in Wyn and Cormac, and I'll just crawl into our bed."

[Eskal]

Marius nodded. He carried the two love birds into the carriage one at a time and put them in their bunk. Once that was done he closed the carriage door and settled in beside Astien.

[FweepFwopFwoop]

Astien was breathing heavily, in part because he was focusing on said breathing, and because he was tired from climbing into the carriage.

[Eskal]

Marius kissed Astien's head and held the man's hand. "I love you."

[FweepFwopFwoop]

Astien nodded as he panted. "I know. I'm going to try and sleep. Here's hoping." Astien laid his head on Marius' chest and closed his eyes.

[Eskal]

Marius held Astien in his arms and drifted off.

[FweepFwopFwoop]

Astien never found sleep. Each time he almost fell asleep, a contraction forced him awake again. He forced his cries of pain to remain inside, never waking the others.

[Eskal]

Marius nuzzled Astien in his sleep.
