When the old physician arrived, he saw two very nervous parents-to-be sat in the crown prince's study, waiting for him. Mr. Vitas was wondering if something bad happened to the baby.

"Your Highness," he greeted them politely. "Is something the matter?"

Mars got up from his seat and welcomed the old physician. He tried to look calm so as not to make his wife worried.

"Well... we would like you to check on Emmelyn's pregnancy and tell us how it is doing," he said.

Mr. Vitas nodded. He approached Emmelyn and check her pulse. Then, he turned to them and smiled. "Everything seems fine."

"Oh..." Emmelyn pressed her lips when she heard that. She and Mars exchanged glances. Surely Mr. Vitas wouldn't lie, right?

"Did.. something happen?" Mr. Vitas asked them.

Emmelyn sighed and slowly she told him what happened and how worried they were. The old man only smiled when he heard their concerns.

Ah... he found the situation very heartwarming and he couldn't help but smile. He could understand that as young parents, they didn't really know what to expect regarding their pregnancy.

Mr. Vitas decided to explain to them every little thing that the mother and baby might experience in all the stages of pregnancy.

"It's very normal," he said. "Fetus at 5 months is already big enough to start moving around. If the baby moved and kicked, it means it is healthy. There is nothing to worry about."

"Oh... that's good," Mars said with obvious relief.

So, he was right. The baby was fine. And judging from how strong it kicked today, it must be especially healthy.

This was really good news. A rainbow after the rain in their day.

They asked Mr. Vitas many more questions and the old man happily answered all of them. After they were satisfied, finally Mr. Vitas could leave with a smile on his face.

"So, it is good," Mars said to Emmelyn after the physician was gone. "I told you there is nothing to worry about."

"But it was you who was worried first," Emmelyn replied.

"Ah.. that's right. I was." Mars chuckled. Now he could feel the burden in his chest lessen. Everything was going to be okay.

Now, they already knew where the witch lived and planned their attack secretly. Once she was dead, there was nothing to worry about. They could wait for the birth of their baby in peace.

It wouldn't be long now. In four months or so, he would be a father, and Emmelyn a mother. Finally, their family would be complete.

"It's moving again..." Emmelyn suddenly shrieked.

Mars swiftly came to her side and touched her stomach again. His face was beaming with excitement.

Whoaaa...! He had never felt happier being kicked by someone before. Having a baby was really something!

"Does it hurt?" He asked Emmelyn.

"It doesn't," she said. "It feels weird in the beginning, but now I am kind of used to it."

"Can I see it?" Mars asked again.

Emmelyn furrowed her brows. "How?"

A moment later she realized what he meant.

"It's okay if you don't want to show it..." Mars hurriedly added.

"No.. I want to," Emmelyn replied. "But maybe not in here?"

"Ah, you are right!" Mars smiled broadly. He swiftly carried her in his arms and walked to the door. "Let's go to our chamber."

Emmelyn automatically wrapped her hands around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder. Ahh.. she loved his masculine scent and the touch of his body on hers.

Mars brought Emmelyn to their chamber and put her body on their bed carefully. Then, he sat by the edge of the bed.

"Do you need my help?" he asked her with a broad smile.

Emmelyn smiled sheepishly and nodded.

Mars helped unbutton the top part of her dress and lowered it to show her stomach. He was surprised to see how her belly had grown quite significantly.

Since he saw her every day, he didn't really notice the physical changes but after more than five months it was now looking very obvious.

And her breasts had grown bigger too!

Wow..! When did that happen? He was wondering.

She looked so hot and alluring. Despite her thinking that she looked fat like a cow, actually in his eyes, she just became more and more attractive.

Now, his mind was filled with lewd thoughts, things that he wanted to do to her.

[This is not right.]

[Emmelyn is grieving. How could I possibly think about doing lewd things with her?]

Mars scolded himself.

He touched her protruding belly and hope their baby would kick again.

"Why didn't the baby kick?" he asked her in a disappointed tone after holding her stomach for over half an hour.

Things had become quite awkward on his part, because his mind kept thinking about sex and how sexy she looked, lying half-naked before him.

Her breasts looked like they were inviting him to come and caress them. His pants began to feel tighten.

"I don't know," Emmelyn replied in a whisper. "Maybe the baby is asleep?"

"Hmm..."

She finally noticed the lust in his eyes and how his body temperature had gone up. Her heart started pounding.

"Do you..." She swallowed. "Do you want to do it?"

Mars batted his eyes when he heard her question.

Did she... also want to do it?

He looked at her deeply and saw the longing in her eyes. Ah... he was very happy to know that she wanted him too.

"Yes..." he replied with a hoarse voice as he immediately cupped her face and claimed her lips.

They kissed passionately. Mars finally could act on his desire for her.

He lowered his hands from her face and kneaded her breasts gently while they were engaged in a hot kiss. They both moaned as lust finally took over the grief and stress that they had been feeling all day.

Soon, Mars had stripped them naked and their bodies intertwined in bed. They made love slowly and gently to release the tension, and enjoy a pleasure that only people in love were lucky enough to have.

"I love you so much," Mars whispered as he positioned his body to lie behind Emmelyn. Then, he thrust his manhood inside her from the side, careful not to enter too deep.
