Y/n's pov.
" Awe!, Look at him, he has Declan's nose! " Said the woman looking at the baby in Celeste's arms.
" He does doesn't he? " Celeste smiles.
" There's something about that nose " the woman said.
" I know right?, It's like a natural smolder " Celeste said and they both chortle.
" His nose is big and his biggest insecurities " I said.
They both look at me with a chuckle.
" Y/n " the woman hugs me and I hug her back.
" Hey Amy " I said.
" It's been a while, how are you? " We pull apart and I smile.
" I'm all good " I said.
" And pregnant " she looks down at my abdomen and I giggle.
" Everyone's got to live a life " I said, she smiles back at me.
" Take good care of yourself " she said, I nodded.
" I will, but anyways, may I hold my nephew? " I bring my hands up to the infant.
" Your not even waiting for my answer " Celeste said as she pass him to me.
" I don't care " I giggle as I hold him.
He's bundles up in a nice silk fabric which is a design of a flower branch. He's sound asleep even with the noise of this party right now. I smile and admire his adorable face and his cheeks are so chubby and his lips are sort of pouting a little.
Declan and Celeste has already moved to a new house and we're here celebrating.
" You'll be having a cousin soon " I whispers.
" Soon is a little too early " I look up and see Laurence approaching me with a glass of drink.
" Your mother told me to give you this " he said.
" What is it? " I asked as I take the cup.
" Don't know, something about good for the baby " he said.
I take a sip of it and it's fruity so I put it down on the table.
" Wanna hold him? " I asked.
" Can I? " He asked, I nodded.
" Of course, you have to know what it feels like when you hold our child " I said and he snickers.
I pass Azriel into his arms and I put where his hands are supposed to be. He has a smile on his face which is adorable and I grab a muffin.
" Never held a baby before? " I asked.
He shake his head and smiling like an idiot while I bite my muffin.
" Could you imagine?, Us holding one of our own " he said and I chuckle after swallowing my muffin.
" Yes, I can " I said.
" Really? " He looks at me and I nodded.
" I have a very good imaginary " I said, he chuckles.
" If you really wanna see it, I can paint one for you " I said.
" Can you? " He asked.
" Have you seen my drawings? " I asked and he hums in response with a smirk.
I hit him teasingly.
" Hey!, You don't want me to drop the baby " he said, I chuckle then put down my muffin.
" Okay my turn again " I said as I put up my hands.
" It hasn't been more than two minute " he said.
I look at him with a giggle and put my hands down.
" Right, can't get ahead of myself " I said and clear my throat before I pick up my drink again.
" Y/n " I turn around and see Paige.
" Hey, didn't think you'd come " I said.
" And you " I tilt my head to Heidi.
" She forced me "
" I did not " Paige turns to her.
I chuckle.
" You want to see Azriel? " I asked.
Paige nods and Laurence passes the infant to her gently when she backs up.
" Heidi should hold him " she said.
Laurence and I look at her in confusion when I notice her eyes looked over behind me so I turn my head and see Declan and Celeste are watching this way. I sigh and put down my cup.
" Give him to me " I said.
Laurence pass Azriel gently and hold him.
" You can't blame them, they don't know the truth yet " I said.
" It's alright, it's not their fault either " Paige said and hold her own hands behind her.
" I'll be right back " I turn to Laurence and he nods.
I walk away and comfort Azriel who was about to cry but didn't and I walk up to Celeste.
" You can have him back " I said as Celeste take him.
" What did she want? " Declan asked and he place his hand on my shoulder.
I can see the worry on his face and I take his hand off politely.
" Nothing, she just wanted to see the baby and say hello " I said.
He furrow his eyebrows in confusion.
" Are you sure?, She didn't say anything off to you? " He asked.
" No, we're friends " I said.
" Friends? " Celeste asked.
I nodded with a hum.
" Friends " I said.
" Friends? " Declan asked.
" Yes, friends " I said.
They stood there dumbfounded and looked at each other in confusion.
" Did you hit your head?, Have you forgotten what she's done? " Celeste asked.
I sigh.
" You reap what you sow " I said then walk away.
I lift my skirt a little so I won't trip and walk back to where Laurence is.
" Hey " I hold onto his arm.
" I want to go home now " I said.
" Are you okay? " He asked, I nodded.
" Yeah, just a little weary I guess, who knew pregnancy can make you tried so easily " I said as I put my hand on my hip.
" Their the ones who survived in the war, and that's miss Paige who attacked them "
I turn my head to the mutter where I see some unfamiliar faces talking to each other.
" It's a miracle they survived a waterfall, I hear that her husband can't swim and she saved him "
" My brother said he saw Paige using the Phoenix flame on her and it didn't have any affect "
" Your kidding "
" Immunity magic is forbidden "
" What do you think Paige is doing now?, And who's that girl beside her? "
" I think we should go home too " Paige said then curtsy before walking away.
" Paige! " I said.
" Don't worry, she just needs to let off some steam " Heidi said.
" Take care of yourselves " I said, she nods.
" See ya, Y/n, Laurence " she said.
" Bye " I said.
She walks away and I hug Laurence's arm.
" Let's go home " Laurence said.

" Your so fat now " I groom Fluffballs fur with a brush on the table while he eats his grapes.
" Master Laurence was too worried that he didn't feed him enough " Jemma said as she brings a small bowl of water.
She put it down on the table and Fluffball keeps eating his grapes.
" He's being too cautious, wasn't he Fluffball? " I chuckle.
" I'm right here " I look over my shoulder to my husband at his desk writing down on a sheet of paper.
" You sort of are " I said and finish grooming Fluffball.
I put down the brush and get up from the chair carefully with my five months belly, I walk over to him and go around behind him.
" What are you doing? " He asked as I wrap my arms around him.
" What are you doing? " I asked as I look at the papers he's writing.
" Celeste is still busy with our nephew, so I'm in charge of her business for now " he said.
I look at the paper and all I see is scribbles.
" Will you take a break? " I asked as he continues to write.
" I have two more papers before lunch " he said.
" Then what do you do after lunch? " I asked.
We look up when the door opens and see Archer walking in the room with a stack of books.
" What's that? " I asked.
" Miss Celeste has sent over the rest of the account records for master Laurence " he said.
My jaw dropped and Laurence exhale in disbelief after Archer set it down on the table, we look at each other and he shrugs.
" Don't tell me you'll be working on it the entire day " I said.
" I have to get these done before the end of the week " he said.
" Well you have six days left " I said.
" I need to get through all the pages " he gives me a wince expression.
" All of it? " I asked as I stand straight with my hands on his shoulder.
He nods.
" Why not walk down the city with me, hmm?, Take a look around~ " I chirp sweetly while massaging his shoulders.
" You sure you feel up to it? " He asked.
" You need to take a break " I said as I take his quill of his hand and put it in the holder.
" Please " I hug him tightly and he holds my hands.
Rocking our body side to side.
" I'm bored " I pout, he snicker and nodded.
" Okay "
" Yay! " I squeeze him tighter.
" Just a few hours, if you feel off we're going home immediately " he said, I giggle then kiss his cheek.
" I know "
~ Time Skip ~
" Isn't this nice? " I cling onto Laurence's arm.
" Away from work and just us " I said as we walk down this street.
" Yes, very nice " he turns to me with a smile and I snicker.
" Come on, don't hide it " I poke his cheek.
" You hate this " I said.
" I don't " he said.
" Your being grumpy " I said.
" I am not, I'm just worried for you, being at home is better for a pregnant woman, my mother has made that very clear to me ever since we break the news " he said, I chuckle and hug his arm.
" Exercise is good for pregnancy, if you keep feeding me then I'll get fat like Fluffball " I said.
" I won't overfeed you, that's different " he said.
" Is it? " I asked.
" Yes " he said, I snicker.
" I'm craving for mooncakes now " I place my hand on my belly.
" There should be a stall ahead of us that sells it, we could get a few " he said.
I look up at him and the realization hits him, I hear Jemma and Archer behind us snickering quietly.
" That was a trap " he said, I hum.
" Yup " I said.
" Fine, maybe I am a little worried " he said.
" And I still love you " I kiss his cheek and we keep walking.
" I love you too " he said.
" But all jokes aside I do want some mooncakes " I said, he chuckle.
" Let's go get them then " he said.
I giggle and hold onto each other, once we made it to a stall where a person sells them, Jemma go ahead and purchase it for us.
" We still haven't come up of a name for him " I said as I hold my belly.
" I'm thinking something that has a meaning " he said.
" Like what? " I asked.
" I don't know, maybe something that's related to love " he said, I chuckle.
" We'll go through some books later at home " he said, I nodded.
I sigh to how tired my body feels but I keep holding onto Laurence's arm and lean against him a little. He doesn't seem to be bothered by it and let me.
" That's a rare gift to have "
" You call that a gift?, It's more of a curse "
" The king and queen will not go easy on her once the news reach to them "
I furrow my eyebrows to the whisper I'm hearing, Laurence seems to notice as well and we both turn around. We see people crowding around a bulletin board with papers being stuck to them, I squint my eyes from this distance and see a sketch.
" What the hell? " Laurence asked.
I let go of his arm and approach the board.
" Y/n wait " Laurence catches up to me.
The crowd seems to notice me and they give away easily as my lips went ajar to see a sketch of my face is plastered on the board. There's some writing under it and I cover my mouth in shock to see all the information of my immunity and origins are written in a very detailed way.
" Oh my god, that's her "
" Wouldn't that make her a jinx? "
" Jinx?, Then we're all cursed! "
" How can a girl from the countryside have immunity gifts? "
" She's an illegitimate jinx girl "
I turn my head and glare at the woman who said that and she clears her throat turning away, Laurence then gently grab my arm.
" We should go "
I really really really really really really like you~
Bye!
