Silas runs his nose down my hip to the apex of my legs.

“What are you doing? Stop sniffing me. Do I stink? I just showered,” I tell him, appalled at his strange actions.

“You never stink,” Dragus chuckles.

Silas pushes his nose into my belly button, inhaling deeply. His head snaps up, his eyes wide before they dart to mine.

His eyes are watery.

Is he crying?

He seems frozen, a silly grin creeping onto his face. He sniffs my stomach again.

“Okay, get off me. You are creeping me the fuck out,” I tell him, trying to push him off with this strange sniffing fetish he has going on.

“Please tell me you smell it too,” he says, looking to Matitus and Dragus.

“She is also warm. Very warm,” Silas says.

A tear rolls down his cheek.

“Why are you crying, what is wrong with you?” I tell him, he has lost his mind, the man has finally gone insane.

“Smell her,” he says, and Matitus leans over. I squirm to get away from him.

“Get away with your sniffing,” I screech. Dragus has a grin on his face, watching.

“She smells really good doesn’t she Silas?” Matitus says, a strange smirk on his face. I furrow my brows looking to Silas.

“You knew already, I am not imagining it?” Matitus shakes his head.

“You’re not imagining it, Silas,” he says, and he looks to Dragus who nods. Am I the only one that has no idea what’s going on here?

A strangled noise leaves Silas’s lips and I feel overwhelming happiness hit me through the bond and he starts sobbing. His head leans against my stomach while his arms wrap around my hips. Matitus rubs his back and I see Dragus look away teary eyed. I sit up, alarmed when I feel his hot tears run over my skin.

“What’s wrong, why is he crying, why are you crying?” I ask, looking at Dragus. No one answers.

“What did you do to him?” I ask, confused. Has everyone lost their minds?

I brush Silas’s hair with my fingers when he starts kissing my stomach and my hips hungrily.

“What’s going on?” I try to ask. Silas sits up, plunging his tongue into his mouth, making me moan into his. He suddenly pulls back, gripping my face with both his hands. He stares at me, and I wipe his tears that were on his cheeks.

“What is it?” I ask, starting to worry.

I am hit with a tidal wave of emotions from them. All of them staring at me.

“You’re pregnant” Silas whispers.

“How is it even possible we didn’t break the curse?” I ask confused.

“It was never your curse to break, only Silas could break it by righting the wrongs of the past, him accepting you, broke the curse,” Matitus answers. Silas didn’t say anything, he is too busy with his head in my lap. I am in shock. I am carrying a baby, something I never pictured myself having, I never wanted to bring a child into this world, but things have changed.

Looking at them, I realize they have changed. Everything has changed so maybe now it wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

“You don’t want kids?” Dragus asks, meddling in my thoughts. I shake my head, Silas sits up staring at me.

“No, it’s not that, I am just shocked. I never wanted kids not with the way the kingdom was but it’s different now,” I answer honestly.
