Lycus's pov

"She's all set." The doctor said pulling off her gloves while stepping away from the bed, "The luna is due in a week." She added with a smile and I glanced at Nyx to see her already staring at me with a wide grin which I returned with excitement.

I have had the chance to be a father with Amara and now the moon goddess was blessing me with another one and it came with a different level of excitement, the feeling of holding our new born in my hands was something I looked forward to.

"Is there any thing she needs to stay off till then." I asked the doctor as she packed up her stuff, "I want us to be extra careful."

"She just has to stay away from any rigorous activities for now and relax a lot." And with her words I gave Nyx a knowing look hoping she would stick to the doctor's words this time.

The coming of this pregnancy unleashed a new level of stubbornness and even Hera was worse, neither Spyro nor I could talk sense into them. They felt the need to be more active and agile as the pregnancy grew which increased my worry as the days passed, "That will be all your highness." The doctor bowed before me, "Have a great day Luna." She bowed before Nyx and we both nodded at her as she exited the room.

"It's a nice weather for a run don't you think?" Nyx asked looking out the window from her resting position, "I wa..."

"Fuck no!" I moved to the window and drew the curtains immediately not missing the glare she gave me.

"But I..."

"No Nyx!" I cut her short, "You are staying in this bed till that child comes out of you and if I have to result to tying you to it, I will! Do. not. test. me."

"Fine!" She threw her hands dramatically, "I am pregnant not dying! I am not a fucking child!" She moved from the bed to stand up and instantly I was by her side.

"Where do you think you are going?"

"To use the bathroom." She snapped, "Or am I not allowed to?"

"Let me help you." I put my hands around her waist but she pushed them off and shoved me aside, "Why a..."

"I can do it myself! Move!" She shoved me aside again and began to take slow agonizing steps to the bathroom with me trailing behind her not wanting her to fall, "You do not have to follow me around Your highness!" She snarled and I rolled my eyes, "Go find someone else to boss around, not me!" And just then she slipped and luckily I was really near to break her fall, my arms were wrapped around her instantly. I carried her into the bathroom, watched her as she did her business and carried her out.

A frown was on my face the whole time thinking of how disastrous it would have been if I wasn't there at the moment, "I am sorry." She mumbled as I dropped her on the bed but I was too livid to even speak to her.

"What do you want for brunch Nyx?!" I grunted pulling the covers over her and she burst in tears immediately. I ran my fingers through my hair and sat next to her with a sigh escaping my lips, "Why are you crying now?"

"You don't love me anymore."

Here we go again! Spyro growled in frustration and I had to shut him out.

"Why would you think so?" I asked pulling her in my arms, "You know very well that with each day and moment that passes between us I grow more in love with you, so why would you think so?"

"You called me Nyx and not Hermosa." She sniffed turning her head into my chest, her tears began to wet the fabric of my shirt as she clutched onto it, "You are mad at me."

"You almost hurt yourself and the baby." I sighed taking her hand in mine, "I was just worried, still worried."

"You are going to reject me, aren't you?" She looked up at me with her glossy green eyes, tear stained face and pouted lips.

"You over think." I raised my fingers to her face and swiped a tear away with my thumb, "It's bad for your little head." I kissed her forehead, "You are stuck with me and my love forever." I brushed more kisses on the corner of her lips hoping to pacify her and it worked, she smiled, "What do you want to eat?" I asked laying her back on the bed.

"Apples." She said, "Red apples."

Although, strange, I didn't question her choice, she had bland distaste for apples after witnessing my mother's attachment to them and now she suddenly wanted them? Pregnancy really was a crazy thing.

I left her in the room to get them because in her words, 'the baby wants the apples brought my it's father' I did as she bid but not before relaying stern warnings to her about leaving her spot.

Evening came soon and Nyx had finally persuaded me to let her go on a run, after a lot of tears and talks about lost love, I finally gave in but on the condition that she let me go with her which she wanted to refuse but I stood my ground.

We went for the run, far away from the castle. Hera and Spyro got to spend more time together on the hills before we decided to shift and head back. Nyx suggested shifting below the hills so we could walk back to the castle and I agreed.

"Thanks for letting me go on the run." She smiled at me as she stretched her arms.

"You are most welcome." I fixed my shirt, pulled her in my arms to kiss her but she made a stink face and pushed me away from her, "What's wrong?"

"Berries." She wrinkled her nose, "The smell, eww! The baby doesn't like that! Go away." She shoved me again and I moved away from her a bit being content with just holding her hand.

I wouldn't dare move further, the last time an issue of smell came up and she asked me to go away which I did. I had to apologise, clean up tears and sleep outside the bedroom for a week cause she said I left because I didn't want her anymore.

We began to walk back to the castle, slowly moving at her pace as fast as her feet could enable her.

The evening was cool with the sun casting it's fading rays in the sky, birds fluttered and chirped, the wind blew gently bringing a sense of peace.

This was the life I craved for my mate and I. Not of life of war, troubles or worries. The only thing I had to worry about was her pregnancy and how to shield her from stress no matter how adamant she was.

I looked at her, her skin glowing with the fading sunlight and mouth pulled up in a smile with her hand entwined with mine. I felt at bliss, it was bliss looking at her, knowing the woman next to me was all mine and I would gladly sacrifice my life for her like I did the first time. She was worth it all.

"Lycus!" She stopped abruptly with panic lacing her voice and then a yelp came from her as she stood with her legs wide apart.

"What is it?" I held her in dread as moans of pain continued to come from her, she held onto her belly leaning on me for support, "What is that? What is going on?" I sniffed the air noticing a strange scent.

"The baby is coming! My water just broke!" She fisted my shirt aggressively as she let out another yell of pain, her legs were caving in as I held her.

Panic! I began to sweat, my hands turned clammy and my breathing increased rapidly, "Hold on, I will teleport us to the castle and mind link the doctors and healer."

"No..." She whined pushing herself to the ground, "I want it out now!" She snarled at me willing me to do something.

what do I do? I have never helped in birth before! I stood there in confusion and panic as she cursed at me, "Get on the fucking floor with me!" She was on all fours now wailing, "You caused this! If only you had kept your fucking dick in your pants."

"I am sorry." I mumbled feeling more confused than ever. I moved to carry her in my arms but she snarled at me baring her canines which caused me to step back.

"It hurts so much." She cried out stretching her hands out to me for comfort, I held her hand and she dug her nails in mine, extracting blood as her claws surfaced, "Make it stop please." She cried harder holding on to me.

"Let me take you to the pack house Hermosa, please..."

"No." She screeched, "It might fall from my vagina and die." She rolled over to her back breathing heavily, her hands were clutching to the dirt now as she growled.

I removed my shirt, laid it on the ground, picked her up despite her clawing at me and I placed her on it, "Is it time for me to push?" She was heaving.

"How do I know?" I cried out running my hands through my hair, even Spyro seemed clueless.

"Well, you seemed to know everything when you fucked me and broke the bed!" She snapped back at me with a glare that could kill, "I can feel it, it's coming." I hiked her gown up, pulled her laps apart and began to pull down her panties, "It's so near Lycus." She cried and I looked away only to be kicked on my arm.

"Look at me!" She snapped, "You didn't look away one bit when you were devouring my pussy!" Her eyes were darkening with anger as I mouthed an apology.

I spread her legs, whispering sorry's to her as she cried out in pain, her hands were clutching to her waist this time, "So how do I do this?" I asked, "Do I dip my hand inside and pull it out?" I asked really unsure of myself as I drowned in confusion and fear.

"No, you dumb fuck!" She screamed, "Do you want to kill your child?"

I nodded a 'no' and mind linked the doctor and Healer to meet me in the forest immediately, hopefully they get here before she gives birth.

"Okay love." I was on my knees with my hands on hers, "I want you to take in deep breaths and relax."

"Maybe if you had taken deep breaths and relaxed your dick, I wouldn't be here!" She picked up a handful of dirt and threw it at me, I let it meet me on purpose as I didn't want her to get more upset, "It hurts so much." She cried out again and I rubbed her laps trying to help her relax.

"I can feel it." She breathed holding onto my hands, "Look down, is it coming? It's coming." Her last words were rushed and urgency sounded in them, I knew she wasn't bluffing, I was about to help deliver a child, my child.

"Nyx, hold on please..." I panicked as her she yelled throwing her head back and widening her legs, "Push it back in please and wait for the doctors, I can't do this..."

"You can't push a baby back in." She growled and I could tell that she was pushing now, "Maybe you could have pushed your semen back in!" She braced herself on her elbows this time and grunted out loud, "Fuck!"

"Calm down." I was between her legs like I knew what I was doing, "Relax and let go."

"I am trying." She cried out and began to push again blowing out her cheeks as she did. I held my hands out not knowing what I should expect and before I could say whatthefuck?! I had a baby in my hands without warnings, it just came out with a pop and began to wail.

Nyx fell back with a sigh as I held the tiny bundle of joy in my hands with tears in my eyes.

It was a boy with dark hair just like mine and green eyes like that of his mother, he was so tiny, I was scared he would slipped from my hands and just then it began to drizzle, his wails increased and the doctors and Healer arrived with Amara running behind them.

They cut the umbilical cord, cleaned him up and handed him over to me, "Is that my brother?" Amara peered down at him, "He's a forest baby, he would like fluffy." I laughed and nodded at her while I handed the him over to Nyx.

She was calm now and she received the baby with a big smile on her face, holding him close to her chest while littering kisses on his forehead.

"What is his name mummy?" Amara questioned as I hurdled closer to Nyx on the ground while the pack medics cleared the place up, "We can't just call him baby."

"Eros." Nyx and I said at the same time which was strange, we had never really thought of a name together, we wanted to wait till the child was born, "Eros." She whispered again looking at me and I shook my head.

It was the perfect name for he was conceived out of love.

"Eros Dardanos." I pronounced loudly as the pack members who had heard the news trooped into the forest with excitement, "He shall be called Eros Dardanos." Their delighted noises filled the air as I raised him high for them to see, he had stopped crying now and was partly asleep even with the noise coming from the crowd.

Words of congratulations were said to Nyx and I while Amara was excited to have a sibling, today wouldn't have been any better even though an early birth had occurred.

The moon goddess had truly looked upon me with love, first giving me a mate and a wonderful daughter and now...i had a son.
