Xavier gazed at his slumbering soulmate, his thoughts naturally drifting to Luka's pregnant belly.
Our child, he mused to himself. That's our child.
The notion both thrilled and frightened him. What would happen if their child became entangled in the chaos between Heaven and Hell?
Luka stirred slightly and snuggled closer to Xavier's body. A smile graced Xavier's face as he sensed Luka waking up.
"You're awake?" Luka mumbled, his voice drowsy. "I just want to sleep, eat some candy, and sleep, sleep, sleep..." His words trailed off as he closed his half-closed eyes again.
Xavier fought back a laugh, not wanting to disturb Luka's rest. "As you wish, my love," Xavier whispered, but Luka had already slipped back into slumber.
