Chapter 15 - To be or not to be

While the consorts were kneeling on the ground soaking wet from where Li-lian left them, yang yang walked passed the consorts to see them kneeling on the ground and just gave them a look of disgust, then continued to Li-lians chambers,

"Miss, he's almost here. Should I get the surprise ready?," Mo-chou said while handing Li-lian some water

"Yes, I would appreciate it Mo-chou," Li-lian said while sipping water

"And after you are done with the preparations I would like it if you and the other maids leave and I want you to guard my chambers and tell the other maids that if you find anybody that didn't leave will be beheaded on the spot!!"Li-lian said with a deep and dark tone that mo-chou never heard before

"yes, Miss," said mo-chou as she was leaving to tell the other maids

Meanwhile, Mo-chou and yang yang ran into each other. Mo-chou told yang yang that her miss is waiting for him in her chambers,

"Lian-Lian~~," Yang yang said as he was walking up to li-lians chambers and opening up the door to lians chambers

"Your back, how was the meeting with the emperor?" Li-lian said while fixing yang yang some snacks and oolong tea

"It was good, how was your day? what did the other consorts say to you that made you angry?" yang yang said while grabbing li-lians wrist and swinging her around so she was sitting on his lap

"Nothing serious I just need them to know that I don't like it when they aren't being little sisters to me, "Li-lian said while blushing

"hehe this is why I love you," yang yang said while looking li-lian in her eyes

"I have something to tell you, "Li-lian said while getting off his lap to stand next to him

"What is it," yang yang said while looking at li-lian curiously

With a snap of her fingers, li-lian used her air power and brought in a box that floated to yang yang

"What's this?" yang yang said while holding the box in his hands

"Open it," li-lian said while having her hands behind her back

yang yang opens the box and jumps out of the seat because he was so shocked with what was in the box,

"Huh, NO WAY YOUR PREGNANT?!?!" yang yang said while putting the box down that has baby sleepwear garments in the box and went and kissed li-lian on the lips

"I can't believe your pregnant I'm so happy," yang yang said while holding her stomach

"How long are you??"yang yang said with a big smile on his face

"Hmm...The imperial doctors said about a few weeks along and that the first 3 months are hard and the baby is very sensitive and I could lose the baby easily too"Li-lian said while holding yang yang's hand.

Yang-yang looked at Li-lian ecstatic, a smile on his lips as big as his palace. He had tears almost running around face but Li-lian rubbed underneath his eyes. Li-lian reciprocated his smile, she had tears running down her cheek as Yang-yang was rubbing her stomach, talking to her belly, their child.

"I can't wait to meet him or her" Yang-yang softly said while looking Li-lian in her eyes. He kept eye contact as he was wiping away her tears, he cleared his throat to prevent his voice breaking.

"Seriously honey I don't care what gender our child is going to be born as. I just want them to be happy growing up and throughout their life, I want my child to be righteous, self-control of their life, powers, kind and show compassion to people when needed. With this being said I want my child to be strong and to know when they need to put their food down, whether the child is a girl or boy. They belong to our family now.

Li-lian chuckled and sniffled before nodding her head in agreement. Li-lian picked up her handkerchief to wipe her teary eyes, Yang-yang picked Li-lian up ever so gently before sitting her down on the bed. He noticed Li-lian's cheek burn red as he picked her up. He smiled and used his hand to hold her cheek, Li-lian rubbed the side of her face into her hand to feel his presence. Li-lian let out a big sigh while undoing the tie to her robes to dress in her night clothes, Yang-yang helped her throughout the process which made the process much longer than needed from him not being able to keep his hands to himself. When Li-lian and Yang-yang were both ready for bed, Yang-yang grabbed the box with baby clothes and teleported it inside his ring for safe keeping. Noticing his actions Li-lian couldn't help but laugh at his actions, she thought he was the cutest person alive, with his actions you can tell he cares for you.

Li-lian sat on the bed and scooched to her side of the bed. After she got comfortable in her side she patted Yang-yang's side of the bed to signal for him to join her in the bed. Immediately Yang-yang jumped into his side, cuddling Li-lian as he got comfortable in the bed. He kissed Li-lian's forehead before he showered her kisses, still asking if he wasn't dreaming.

"No, it's real. I'm here and so is our little one" Li-lian said while rubbing her head into Yang-yang's shoulder as he squeezed Li-lian.

"I'm glad, very glad."Yang-yang said underneath his breath but not quiet enough Li-lian didn't catch what he said.

Li-lian chuckled as she proceeded to reciprocate the same amount of kisses he gave to her.

"Is there something you want, baby?" He said as he brushed a few of Li-lian's baby hair from her face. He wanted to see her beautiful colored eyes. He thought to himself he would never get used to seeing her beautiful eyes as they grow old together.

"I love you" Yang-yang said while looking into Li-lian's eyes. Li-lian smiled.

"I love you too" Li-lian said as she kissed him on his red, soft lips.
