-Conor-The days continued to slip by as the fifth week march approached. The baby gained the missing weight and a bit extra so there was no further concern over his weight for the time being. The five-week mark came, and Karen woke up and ate more of her dreaded cubes. She rubbed her belly proudly and after talking with Conor for ten minutes, she went back to sleep. The sixth week came and went. Karen slept soundly as she hugged her growing belly in her sleep. The king had sent Conor on another mission and was becoming increasingly frustrated with Nathan’s antics with the decoy camps and clever traps. Zachary practically ignored any mention of Karen at this time to Conor’s extreme relief. However, there was an increase in missions he had to go on to Conor’s great dismay.Two days before the seventh week, Bart had Bertha come by to check on Karen as all three of them had become extremely nervous about this. “We are two days away from the seven-week mark… She hasn’t woken up at all in
-Karen-I slowly opened my eyes and felt Conor’s warmth right next to me. I looked over to him and saw that he was sleeping. He looked exhausted but happy. He moved his hand over my belly and cuddled closer to me. Curiously, I looked down and saw that my belly was quite large. Oh, my goodness! I’m huge! Bigger than the first time which made me nervous because I knew immediately I was far beyond the six-week mark. I look like I swallowed a boulder… I wanted to wake Conor up as fast as I could to find out, but I resisted the temptation. Instead, I balled up one of the blankets next to me and propped myself up into a much more comfortable position. Ah! That’s better! My poor love… I watched Conor sleep for a while until I couldn’t resist waking him up. I slipped back down under the warm blankets so that I could be closer to him. Gently, I caressed his face watching him snuggle into my palm. Conor… I felt warm and content seeing him sleeping so peacefully next to me. I leaned down and ki
-Karen-“Oh… I have a great idea as to what you could ask for…” He smirked and then closed his eyes as I continued working him. “And you don’t even have to ask-” He moaned gently as I carefully got up and mounted him. “Oh… I have waited so long for this.” He slipped himself inside and it was nothing short of breath taking. I rolled my hips and watched him lose his mind from the pleasure. His eyes were so dark and full of desire. “You never disappoint… But now it’s your turn to lose your mind.” He gently rolled me on to my back and went to work on me. I felt so much more pleasure this time around as he kept diving deeper into me. I felt vulnerable in the best way. I grabbed his hands as I shivered from the pleasure under him. I called his name and he joined me several moments later.He lay back down next me and held me to him as we slowly came down from our cloud of bliss. “Again… Please?” I murmured to him. We can celebrate me finally waking up the best way… Making love for most of th
-Karen-I grabbed a plate and stuffed a little bit of everything onto it with the exception of the steak. I grabbed a double serving of it. “Thank you! I’m so hungry too!” This baby wants meat! I have eaten so much steak in the last week… He’s gonna be a meat man like his Papa. He’s a little piggy!“Me too Kay! I don’t know why but I have been so famished lately.” Joanne said following right behind me. “I just want to eat and sleep sometimes…” Hmm. I wonder why?“I told you it’s ‘cause your stressed out over the extra work I’ve been having to do, baby.” Bart explained, sitting down next to Joanne. He rubbed her right hand and gave her a sympathetic smile. “I haven’t been able to spend as much time with you as we normally do… Those Mages have been really going to town on the soldiers…” I raised an eyebrow. “My workload has practically doubled and since she hasn’t been feeling well, I won't let her help… I will once she feels better.” Bart explained with a frown. Oh… Well, that would ex
The next day, we were sitting at the table playing the game called Onde. Conor had a small basket with snacks and cider brought in while we played. It had been quiet and peaceful all day. Conor was helping me play against Bart and Joanne since it was easier to learn when you played on a team. Sixth round and we have lost each one. I was not very good at this game, but I was told that this too would be something I would need to practice. “We should play Conquain again.” I said to Joanne with a smirk. I can at least win at that!“No way! You’ll wipe the floor with us! Like you do every time Kay.” She replied rolling her eyes. “You’re doing pretty good at Onde for a beginner- C’mon, it’s your turn to go.” As I picked up the next card, there was a single heavy knock at the door. Hmm? Before any of us could respond, the doors flew open and Zachary, the Generals, Michael, Monica and ten guards stormed in. This is it- Game over. I immediately felt my heart sink as the terrifying thoughts o
-Karen-I’ve had enough of this! I laughed coldly at Zachary and stood up. The other three watched me with apprehension while I said as hatefully as possible, “Alright, I’ll apologize!” He smirked and nodded at me to continue. I’m not even slightly sorry for what I’m going to say. “I apologize that you’re a cold-hearted and callous man who, like my dear mother, can't let anyone be happy. I apologize that someone like you created such a wonderful man who deserves a better role model than he was given. How dare you call yourself a father! You’re just an abomination! Constantly attacking people to make yourself feel important. My oh my, how tiny your dick and ego must be, that you feel you have to antagonize and torment the hell out of others just to get anything out of the deal. Shame on you! You’re a terrible person! You should be apologizing to us for being a tyrant!” I felt my anger well up at the thought of how he would blatantly attack all of them. Calm down Alex. I know this is st
-Karen-“It’s really too bad because Conor is very apt on the battlefield. But the Empire is not a battlefield and cannot be treated as such...” Zachary continued calmly as he twirled the dagger between his fingers. “I know his mother will be most unhappy to hear the news that one of those pesky Resistance Mages took him out with an extremely well-aimed attack.” Zachary stated with a cruel grin as he turned back to Bart and Joanne. “As for you two morons- I’ll let you two have one more chance since I feel like I can still use you… If either of you slip up again, I’ll have you executed with no more effort than it took to have Conor beaten nearly to death.” He pulled some folded papers out of his back pocket, opened them, and laid them on the table facing Bart and Joanne. Just to add to it, he angrily stabbed the dagger through the papers as they flinched.They both had grim expressions as they looked at the papers. “I just have to sign them. I’ve already signed Conor’s and that nasty l
-Karen-I decided to try to sleep off my hunger. When I woke again, the candle was only a half inch high. My back hurts terribly but I don’t think I can roll over and get up right now… I’m just too tired and sore. The waves of pain returned but they weren’t terrible like before. It felt like an hour or two passed as the pains started coming faster and sharper as my belly got hotter. I groaned loudly from the pain. I felt extremely exhausted, and I was starving. I just want a piece of bread or something… But this pain is making me feel sick to my stomach. I was all alone and afraid that I was going to lose Alexander just like I lost William. I wish Bart or Bertha were here to help me… I’m so scared right now… I need to remember to try and stay calm. More time passed by when I suddenly felt a gush of a liquid and I panicked thinking the worst. I’m going to lose him! Oh no! No! No! No! No! No! I grabbed the blanket to make sure it didn’t get wet. I felt the urge to push so I did. I yell
