Angel's Return (A Neteyam and Aonung Love Story)

Chapter Six

Aonung lifted his head, running his fingers over Neteyam's exposed stomach. A wistful look on his face.
"I hope you are pregnant."

Neteyam laughed, sitting up on his elbows. He took Aonung's hand in his own, shaking his head at his lover.
"Aon, we have time. What is the rush?"

Aonung sat up, pulling Neteyam into his lap by his thighs, gently rocking them back and forth.
"Why wait? We have mated, our clans support us. The war is over. I see no reason not too."

Neteyam sighed, his hand roaming Aonung's chest. Knowing this should of been a conversation the pair had some time ago.
"I am the only male Na'vi known to be able to reproduce. There is no way of knowing it to work."

Aonung leaned forward, careful to avoid his scars.
"All the more reason to test it."

Neteyam laughed, his head tilting back.
He sighed, setting his arms on Aonung's shoulders.
"Fine. So, hypothetically, if I can and did, how would it work?"

Aonung tilted his head, smiling at the idea of having children run around their hut.
"What do you mean?"

"Where would they be raised? The reef is your home, the forest is mine."
Neteyam looked down, carefully intertwining their hands.
"It's important to me our children know the forest. As it is important for you for them to know the reef."

Aonung kissed the tip of Neteyam's nose, his fingers playing with his hair.
"It depends on where they are born. If they are born here, we wait until they are old enough to travel to take them to the forest. Same goes for if you deliver in your home. Teyam, it is only as difficult as we make it to be."

Neteyam smiled, quickly leaning down and pressing their lips together.
He pulled away, sighing for exaggeration.
"Then, I suppose, me getting pregnant is not an awful idea."

Aonung smiled, laughing as Neteyam squealed. Aonung standing and setting him on their bed.
"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah"

Aonung laughed, leaning down to give his, now official, mate a quick kiss. Soon, laying their bodies together.
Hopeful for the future of their love.

Aonung yawned as he felt a light come into the room, turning to see the cloth at the doorway moved. He turned to his side, seeing a half-awake Neteyam.

He leaned down, giving his forehead a kiss before sitting up. Looking around the room.

He jumped as he saw his mother in the corner, watching the two with a smile.
Neteyam sat up, piecing together why she was here quicker than her son.
"Do you need me to watch him?"

Ronal smiled, stepping forward and handing Neteyam the sleeping baby.
"Tuk will also be dropped off soon."

Neteyam nodded, smiling as he watched Ronal leave.

Aonung sighed, watching as Neteyam stood. Carefully rocking the baby.
Tuk ran into the room seconds later, a mixture of beads and string in her hands.

Neteyam smiled, leaning his hand down and walking her to a corner.

Tuk nodded, sitting down and beginning her crafts. Humming a child's tune as her hands worked through the different beads.

Neteyam sat back by Aonung, laying down against his chest.
He brought Fruno to his chest, rubbing his back as he yawned against him.

Aonung kissed Neteyam's temple, watching Tuk.
"I believe my mother might love you more than me."

Neteyam laughed, turning his head to look at Aonung.
"Why is that?"

Aonung sighed, carefully placing an arm around Neteyam's shoulders. Being wary to not disturb the baby, or Tuk.
"I have seen you with Fruno more than my own father."

Neteyam shook his head, a little smile making its way to his face.
Aonung laughed, nuzzling their heads together.

Soon, Tuk joined them, laying across the two's legs as they listened to her stories.
All of them, being quite happy.

°^°^°^°^°^°

Neteyam covered Tuk as she slept on the extra bed, her completed beads nearly put away in a bowl.

He turned to Aonung, seeing him rock Fruno back and forth with a leg. The rest of him laid on their own bed.
His eyes were closed, his breathing becoming even.

Neteyam only smiled, silently watching the man fall into a peaceful sleep.

He walked forward, gently lifting Fruno up and walking out of the hut.

He stopped at the shore, spotting his father and Tonowari.
He walked towards them, quickly gaining their attention.

Tonowari smiled, taking the baby from Neteyam. His head resting on his chest.
"Ronal leave him with you?"

Neteyam laughed, giving his dad a quick hello. Ignoring the knowing stare he gave him.
"She did. But, Tuk and Aonung are asleep. He needs to be fed soon."

Tonowari nodded, thanking Neteyam.

Jake gave his son a quick hug, standing silently as he left.

He turned towards Tonowari, a unknown look in his eyes.
"How long do you think until it's his baby he's holding?"

Tonowari laughed, tilting his head as he weighed the many options.
"A week, tops."

Jake nodded, smiling.
"Agreed."

Both men went still before laughing, walking towards the Olo'eyktan's hut. Hoping Fruno would sleep until they got there.
Still debating on their sons own future children.
