"How are you doing just now, Gabriel?", Nathalie asked, as he laid down beside her, after pecking her lips very gently and caressing her lower belly with his hand.
"You wouldn't like the answer, so, let's rather focus on you, how's the baby? You went to a doctor today, right?"
Nathalie nodded, then turned to her side and picked something up from her night stand.
"Have a look for yourself!", she whispered softly.
Gabriel took the black and white ultrasound picture from her and looked at it for some time, then faced his assistant again, tears brimming his eyes.
"I swear to you, to do whatever it takes, to keep you both safe, Nath! Even if it would mean, to sacrifice myself and whatever is left of Emilie, so you could be there for both my children! Please, love, promise me, that you won't try to stop me, but just enjoy your life with Adrien and his little sibling! Maybe one day in the future, there will be any other chance, but right now, I am getting very close, to do what you asked me to do and that would be, begging Ladybug for help!", he pleaded hoarsely.
"Can I keep this?", he then wondered, looking at the picture, "I would like to carry it with me!"
Now it was the woman, who started to cry, being so touched by this for him completely new behaviour.
"Of course you can! I have another and I have several on my phone. I also have, well, I wanted that to be a surprise, but...."
She grabbed her device and opened a video, showing the screen of the ultrasound machine during the examination.
"Now listen!", Nathalie whispered and turned her volume up.
For a moment he could only hear rustling and the doctor speaking mostly to himself, but then, a very fast, rhythmical thud could be heard and he instantaneously recognized it as his child's heartbeat.
Gabriel cleared his throat, then tried to speak, still his voice was rasp and barely audible:
"Can you please send that to each of my devices? I would like to be able, to listen to our little miracle whenever I want to! And it truly is a miracle, right? After all, I put you through, after the damage both out bodies experienced, it is more than miraculous, that you got pregnant, my love!"
She just nodded and took his hand into her own.
"I wished, you had been so sweet for all the time, we tried to get those miraculous! Adrien deserves this kind and loving side of you too. Are you going to tell him about...?"
She placed her hand on her lower belly, as she gazed down.
Gabriel shrugged.
"I am not sure yet. How are you feeling? What did the doctor say? I want to be able to tell Adrien something good for a change!", he then questioned.
Nathalie sighed.
"Actually, though my lung function hasn't gotten in the slightest better, neither has the strength in my legs, at least, it hasn't gotten worse either. It seems, as if the universe has given me a little more time on this planet, to at least be able to let this baby grow and be born! So, yes, you could tell something positive to Adrien, if you decided to tell him!", she explained.
The designer sighed in relief and cupped her face, to pull her taut and kiss her passionately.
Parting their lips very briefly, he muttered:
"That's wonderful, darling!"
Then he continued his devouring kiss, feeling her soon start to lay her hands around his back and pull him closer, while she teasingly licked along his lower lip.
Gabriel pulled back little, then smirked at her.
"You're lucky!", he stated with a grin.
"Oh?", Nathalie asked.
"Yeah! Though we weren't able to change anything about the damage to my body this morning, we at least managed to make me feel stronger. And I am in less pain, so, if I interpreted your behaviour correctly, you....uhm...."
He glared down at her lecherously while he propped himself up on one arm, the other slowly sneaking under the hem of her top. Noticing, that she wasn't wearing anything but a short top and her panties, as he felt her pelvis urge against his crotch, the man could soon feel his own arousal grow and grabbed the back of Nathalie's thigh to pull her leg over his own.
Now able to rub his throbbing erection along her intimates, he soon felt the front of his boxers becoming damp, which made him aware of how wet she already was.
"Oh holy shit, love, is this all for me?", he seductively hummed, then slid a hand in between them and under the hem of her soaked underwear.
"Is this okay? Are you allowed to do that?", he asked hesitantly to feel her chuckle and hum:
"Oh yes, especially because you don't want to mess with my mood right now, 'Monarch'!"
"Seriously? Please don't ask me to transfo...!"
"Oh God, no! I always liked the real you, back when your hair was still brown and you didn't care about appearances and stuff!", Nathalie gushed out quickly, while rubbing her thighs against one another.
Smirking the almost as much as her aroused man asked:
"Am I right, if I suppose, this is rather urgent, love?"
Nathalie stared at him angrily, then spat:
"Are you seriously willing to go down that road, Gabriel? I...oh yes, that's..."
He had slipped his hand further into her panties, had begun to rub that little nub, to what she immediately started to moan.
He took his time, caressing her clit with his thumb, his middle and ring finger tenderly teasing her entrance, to then thrust inside gently, instantly bending upwards to hit her g-spot and make her cry out in pleasure.
Only a few minutes later, Nathalie was feeling, that she was getting close to her release and let go of the very last composure, her hips now urging into his touch, her sounds of satisfaction getting louder, until she desperately screamed:
"Oh please, Gabriel, I need to feel you inside! Just, oh God yes, just cum with me, I need you to...."
He did as she asked him to do. With a swift move, he got rid of his boxers and a moment later pushed into her wet warmth with a blissful groan.
It took only a few thrusts until he could feel her walls closing in around his staff and when she cried out a last time, while her body convulsively bend backwards as she released, his shaft began to twitch and seconds after, he poured his fluids into her very depth.
