She's Got The Devil's Eyes - Deckerstar (Completed)

Chloe opened her eyes earlier than she would have liked, having slept awfully. The only way she could describe how she felt was as if she had woken up mere seconds after falling asleep. She felt excruciatingly tired and on top of that, she had woken up fifteen minutes before her alarm went off, feeling nauseous and with lower back pain; one could say her start to the morning hadn't been the easiest. She had an upset stomach and felt slightly disoriented, so when she tried to stand up, besides finding out she couldn't, she felt how her entire world spun right before her eyes. She was comfortable to say she passionately hated that part of pregnancy, the entirety of the first trimester.

Turning her head to look at what was holding her back made her remember the night before. Her eyes met a completely asleep Lucifer, who was clinging on tightly to her as he peacefully slept, wrapping his left hand tightly around her midriff and looking unbothered. She smiled endeared and carefully took his hand into her own, moving it away and being grateful that although she was nauseous, throwing up wasn't imminent. Once she was able to get out of Lucifer's tight grasp, she sat on the bed slowly, trying to avoid feeling dizzy all over again. She took that time to secretly admire her lover's beauty, how childlike and calm he seemed to be when he slept. Ironically, he was sleeping like an angel.

She picked up Lucifer's dressing shirt from the floor and put it on herself, doing a couple of buttons before standing up. She sniffed at it, wanting to feel him closer but when she did so, her whole face scrunched up. She found that the scent she had always loved on him made her feel even more nauseous, so she made her way to the bathroom as quickly as she could and splashed cold water on her face. Doing that was one of the only things that always helped her feel better. Now she had her medication, but she had left it downstairs, together with her prenatal vitamins and the pictures of the ultrasound.

She looked at her reflection on the mirror. There were dark circles under her eyes and her face was slightly swollen, signalling that she didn't have a good night's sleep at all. One would think that sleeping with the one she loved after a passionate night of reunion sex would make her sleep better, but truth to be told she felt like crap. She wasn't used to sharing her bed with someone, and she could love Lucifer all she wanted but he wouldn't be the one to rub her now hurting back. Well... maybe he would if she asked, it was worth a try.

She scanned herself, wanting to know if there were any obvious reminders of the night before plastered on her skin. The night before, she had met a quite territorial side of Lucifer, and he had spent a lot of time working on her neck and collarbones. She pulled the shirt away from her skin and discovered some love bites, marks from the passionate night she had shared with her love that were littering her skin. It was almost beautiful, if not for the fact that they would stay for a while. They looked like they had been purposefully made to decorate her skin she didn't know how to feel about them, about that fact. She didn't know if she liked them or not, and she could only be thankful they were light in colour and not so high up her neck, so they wouldn't be too difficult to hide.

Sighing loudly, she then stood so her profile would be reflected, looking straight at her covered abdomen. Under the fabric of the shirt no one would even guess she was pregnant, and if she lifted it up her abdomen was so flat that no one would even take a second glance at it.

She knew the truth, though. She knew that under those layers of muscle and skin there was another heart beating away, another being growing and changing by the minute, someone that one day would become a person, an angel, dare she say. She placed her hand on her nonexistent bump, putting a little bit of pressure and noticing how it was slightly harder than her normal non-pregnant self, how her body was slowly but surely taking on the fact that she was expecting and making adjustments. Back when she was pregnant with Trixie, she had taken her sweet time to start showing but with her current pregnancy, she couldn't help but feel she would start showing earlier. Her jeans started to feel tighter during the afternoons, something that didn't happen to her while she wasn't expecting.
