"But why are you crying?" Sebastain asked sitting infront of her.
"B-because the gelato is almost finished and I can't stop eating it! I want more! The baby wants more" Nora wailed again stuffing her mouth with a spoonful of gelato.
Sebastian cracked a laughed making her give him a death glare. She hit his head with the spoon, "What are you laughing at? You got me pregnant! Now I can't stop eating gelato!" She sniffled.
"Oh baby I laughed because you look cute!" He cooed at her. She looked at him with her captivating blue-grey eyes with chocolate sneered all around her mouth, "Really? You think I am cute?" She started to tear up, "I thought I looked ugly" she pouted her pink lips.
"Nooo! You're anything but ugly, moya malen'kaya al'fa. Ty samaya krasivaya zhenshchina v mire!" He said love bound in his native tongue (You're the most beautiful woman in the world!)
"Je ne comprenais pas la merde tu as dit mais tu es si sexy!"(I didn't understand shit you said but you're so sexy!) She purred at her fiance making him smirk, "Vy ocharovatel'ny, zhena" ( You're adorable, wife) he kissed her nose.
She put her face up for him to kiss her, "No baby, do you want our son to see is kissing?" He said looking at the camera he was still holding. She pouted, "How long are you going to film us?"
"As long as I want to" he said kissing his fiancee's shoulder.
"Oh now our son won't look" she snorted as he kept on kissing her neck, "Yeah, he doesn't need to see anything now he said making Nora giggle as the video went off.
He rewind the video and paused at her eating her favourite dessert, a tear spilled out of his eyes looking at the old recordings. He poured himself another drink and gulped it down at once. He longingly looked at his wife's face, he wanted nothing more to see her face, feel her warm skin underneath his finger tips, smell her sweet honey smell but that was far from being real.
He threw his head back as tears kept coming out of his eyes, "I shouldn't have left you even for a second" he whimpered to himself remember that unfaithful day. A sob left his mouth remembering how everything had happened just before his eyes and he was too helpless to even help her. What ifs had clouded his mind for years, "I wish I could have saved you" another sob followed as he took another shot of the drink.
The dark room was just like his heart, dark and empty. The only light was from the projector that displayed Nora's lovely face.
"You're still the most beautiful woman in the world, moya malen'kaya zhena" (my little wife) he sobbed, "I miss you so much" he cried looking at Nora's picture. For years he had searched ways to bring back Nora, even though people said she was dead. How can she be? They marked each other, if she's dead, he is dead too.
But he is not. Nora is alive he knows it. The only thing that has kept him and his lycan from going insane is their son, Hunter. Their little boy is growing up so fast, everyday he sees a glimpse of Nora in him. Hunter's one blue-grey eye reminds Sebastain of his wife and that's all keeping away his insanity.
He heard his door open and soft sniffles, "Daddy?" A timid voice came from the door step. Sebastain hastily put his drink away and went to his son, "Yes my prince! What's wrong?" He asked picking up his four year old son who was rubbing his eyes with a sad frown on his cute little face, "I had a nightmare" he said putting his face in his father's neck, "I am scared daddy" he whispered softly clinging onto his father.
"Do you wanna sleep with daddy today?" He asked the rhetorical question, baby hunter just hummed sniffing his father's neck. Sebastain put him down on his bed and tucked him in, he went to the other side and layed with him. Hunter looked curiously at his mother's picture, "Daddy?" He asked softly, "Yes my prince?" He cooed his son who was intently looking at the his mother face on the wall.
"Is mommy eating poo poo?" He asked innocently making Sebastain chuckle, "No my prince, your mommy is eating her favourite dessert. Chocolate gelato!" He exclaimed, Hunter's face brightened and his eyes went wide in surprise, "Mommy likes the same dessert as me?" He sat up with a huge smile in his face.
"Yes, the two of you have similar taste" Sebastain said looking at his son who looked at his mother in awe, "I have eye like mommy and now I also have her taste? Am I like mommy, daddy?" He asked looking at his father, "Indeed you're like your mommy" he said pulling his son on his arms and playing with his hair.
"Daddy.. when will mommy come back from her trip?" He asked yawning as his father did the magic trick if playing with his hair. Sebastain's heart stopped beating and his lycan howled in grief. A sob wanted to break lose from his mouth but he contained it, "Soon my prince. Soon." He hated lying to his son. But he knew better, he wasn't lying to his son but himself. He wanted Nora to still live in someone and that someone is their son.
"Daddy?" Hunter yawned with his eyes half open. Sebastain hummed in response, "Don't let her take me from you" he mumbled incoherently, "She hurt me like mommy" he said and fell asleep. His father looked at his son sleeping peacefully, "Sleep well my prince. I will never let anything harm you, not ever!" He pecked his forehead and enveloped him in his arms, "I will always protect you my prince" he said as he starts to fall into darkness himself.
Nora stood by the bed looking at her husband and son, "Nobody is ever gonna hurt either of you" she whispered giving flying kiss to the two most precious men in her life. She hung her head low in disgrace, she had been infront of their eyes for years but still nobody could hear her, feel her or see her. Arora was right, this is the worst punishment, even worst than dead. For years she has been seeing her husband struggle with everything, break down every night, cry and beg for her to come back, blame himself for what had happened but she couldn't do anything but cry with him. The only thing that keeps him happy is their son. Oh what an amazing boy he is turning to be, so active and full of life. Sebastain is raising him right, maybe better than she would have. But even then, she can see her boy need his mother, "I am so sorry for not being there for you my prince" he looked at the sleeping angel in her husband's arms.
Arora tossed and turned in her bed wide awake, "You ain't asleep?" Henry asked groggily rubbing his eyes. Arora looked at her husband with a small smile, "I don't feel sleepy. You go to sleep" she said collecting him in her arms as he rested his head comfortably on his wife's chest, "Tomorrow is 30th of March" he mumbled and looked up to his wife with forced a smile but had tears in her eyes, "I just miss them" she sniffed as a lone tear slipped out of her eye. Henry let out a sigh and got up from her embrace. He took both of her hands and wrapped it around his torso, hugging her, "I think wherever they are, they are very sad" he said making her look at him baffled, "They don't want their daughter to be sad, not amymore. You have been through a lot as it is, just let the bad memories go away and keep the good ones" he rocked her softly. She hummed in reply, "I try but I don't know there is this weight in me. Holding me back from all of that, I can't understand" she said.
"You sure you're not pregnant?" Henry joked making her slap his chest playfully, "No, you idiot" she chuckled and took a deep breath, "Thank you for everything.." she trailed off as he started to humm a lullaby. Before she knows it she is fast asleep, Henry looked at his wife, "It's not your parent's death keeping you awake, it's the guilt of ruining your sister's life." He had stopped saying this many times but he knew better. For she not only killed her sister but Sebastain leaving Hunter with a shell of a father.
Sebastain woke up to the birds chirping. He groaned and looked at the clock, it showed 9. 30 am.
