[[忘羡 | WangXian 3]] : Our Flesh And Bones

Jiang Cheng/Yunmeng Jiang Clan[continued]

The sun had gone up in the sky, when he, fully clothed, and all packed up, stepped up to the Guest Room to find only Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji there. He wanted to take his quick goodbyes with everyone at breakfast, but it was just the two of them. He bit his lip – he hated the fact that now he had to talk to them tête-à-tête.

He lingered in the doorway, and in the few seconds before they even noticed that he was there, he had the chance to look at them. Lan Wangji's body looked like a soft cloud into which Wei Wuxian was leaning, losing himself, fully comfortable. His head was resting against the chest of the taller Hanguang-Jun; he had closed his eyes, and was resting, happy to be there, a faint smile on his lips. Lan Zhan was caressing his face and his hair as if he was a cat, smiling too.

- I am glad you feel better this morning, my love... The children will be happy to see you well.

- I could not have done it without you, Lan Zhan... You are my strength, you know this.... – he took his husband's hand in his and brought it to his lips, placing a soft kiss on it.

- Don't be sad... All storms must end some time. We need to check on Miao Lu today. She was so upset last night... I also need to check something with Bai Li.

- What is it? Is there a problem? – Wei Ying looked up, worried.

- No, not a problem. But you might be a father sooner than later, my heart.... – Lan Wangji smiled.

- Dare I hope? Is she...  –  Wei Wuxian beamed up at him, wrapping his arms around his neck.

- We will know soon, my heart. Bai Li is taking good care of her. We can only hope...

- A baby... Lan Zhan... Ours... -   he whispered dreamily, closing his eyes and gasping slightly.

Lan Zhan's face was burning; he leaned in and kissed the perfect lips, not noticing anything around him – his whole being was focused on his loved one.

- Beloved... It will be so good to see you happy again...

- Lan Zhan... My love... My light...

- Wei Ying...

Jiang Cheng could not stay any longer. He had no explanation why his eyes filled up with tears. He left them there, holding each other, whispering and kissing.
