((Warning, this might suck lol)) James awoke from a deep sleep, his arms enveloping his beloved wife. He looked at her and smiled, feeling like such a lucky bastard. She was the light in his life, his rock, his everything. He would give her anything she desired. He'd even be happy to be the father of her children. He'd wait until anything like that came up, however. James knew he'd never pressure Anna into something like that, unless his darker side presented itself. He stroked her hair, kissing her forehead softly before slowly getting up. His mother had done chores already, as he saw when looking out the window, so he laid down, content once more. (( Jewel only. I'll post the pup form later.))

Anna didn't feel too good.
It started with last night. She cooked dinner for the family, deft with the knife and quick with the gravy ladle. But after dinner of oven-cooked pork chops and mashed potatoes with gravy, she started feeling queasy. Of course, not enough to vomit. She told herself that she would sleep it off. Though it was obvious that it only just got worse.
She blamed herself. She was the one to cook dinner. She probably accidentally poisoned it. Or cooked bad meat. The woman hoped that James didn't feel like she did. She didn't want his counterpart to punish her.
There was a yellow-black bruise still on her arm from when he man-handled her from a few nights ago.
Her stomach churned, like the ocean when there was a storm. But she was more worried for James. And Ariella, too. She was awake since before James, trying desperately to fall back to sleep. But after James stood up, then lied back down, she opened her eyes and immediately asked her question.
"Are you feeling sick?"

James was fine. DJ was becoming a problem, but he was powerless to stop it. He had no idea what to do anymore, other than wait. But the waiting was hurting his wife.
He still noticed the bruising that peppered her skin. DJ was an asshole, and everyone who knew of him, knew it. But right now, James was focused on his wife. He stroked her face, leaning over to nuzzle her softly where there were no bruises. "No, love, I'm fine. What about you? Are you alright? That's more important to me, it always is. You don't deserve to be hurt like you were by him." James sighed, his brow creased in worry. He knew she'd cooked last night, but his wife was not to blame as far as James was concerned.

Anna, despite her ill feeling, smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. She was happy with James. Always. She knew that he'd never hurt her. He and DJ were complete opposites. Night and day. Poison and the antidote.
"I'm okay," she replied quietly, before kissing his cheek. But her stomach lurched right then, causing her facial features to twist and morph into a look of pain. "I guess I cooked some bad meat. I feel like vomiting." She buried her face in his neck after that.

James sighed. "You definitely don't look well. If you need to vomit, baby, go ahead. As for the meat, it was cooked through. There's gotta be something else that's wrong, love." As she placed her head on his shoulder, James sighed. He absentmindedly ran his fingers through her beautiful blond tresses and sighed. "You're the most wonderful thing in my life, Anna. Never forget that, alright?"
As if on cue, a clicking noise sounded from the stairs. James figured that Red must have followed his mother out when she left to do chores, and that now she was back in. Red bounded into the room, his butt swaying as he wagged his tail happily at the sight of his Mommy.

The sigh made her wonder if she had said something wrong. She's always been afraid of that. Nearly everything she did or said was wrong in DJ's eyes, and sometimes, it was so wrong that DJ forced himself to the surface.
Then she relaxed a bit at his words, relieved that he only sighed out of concern and not annoyance. Anna hated to be vexing. "Yeah?" she asked for confirmation, as if she didn't believe in her cooking skills. And then she smiled, allowing herself this one praise. Nodding her head to say that she wouldn't forget, her arms tightened their hold. For a few brief moments, she nearly forgot about her queasy stomach.
Moving her head to look at Red made her dizzy. Despite her current predicament she giggled at his ecstatic tush. She released her hold so that she could lean over the bed to pick him up. Of course, there was this fear that she was going to vomit, but she didn't feel the urge until she bent forward. That was when her stomach lurched upward, and she instinctively pressed her hand over her tightly-sealed mouth to keep the nasty stuff in. Then she was quick to move. The quickest she's ever been, actually. Her bare feet carried her to the bathroom down the hall, and she kneeled to the porcelain throne to empty her mouth's contents into it.

James watched his wife and honestly contemplated rushing her to the hospital. He knew DJ wouldn't do that. He knew DJ would torture Anna by making her do sick and twisted things until he was appeased. But most of all, and perhaps worst of all, he knew DJ wouldn't give a shit if she was hurt. "Yes, love," he replied to her question. "It was delicious, Anna. You should never question yourself, sweetheart. You're a wonderful person with many wonderful skills. I know that... that he hurts you in any way he can, but I won't. You mean too much to me, Anna."
He watched still as she picked up their dog, then rushed to the washroom. Both he and Red ran after her, the latter yapping with worry, even as James knelt beside his wife, brow creased again with worry. Red whined and cocked his head, wondering what the heck was going on with his Mommy. he put his paws up on the edge of the toilet, staring at her a little.
James rubbed her back softly, worry written all over his features. "Anna, love, are you alright?"

She was kneeled over the toilet for what seemed like forever and a day. Everything that she had last night came up, plus bile that burned her throat. The pain was unbearable. When she was finished, her head was throbbing. A whimper escaped her. Even though she looked like death warmed over, she nodded her head that yes - she was indeed fine.
Slowly, she closed her eyes so that she could regain her bearings. Her stomach still complained. But now she didn't feel like puking. Soon, none of that mattered, because She-Wolf pushed to the forefront of her mind.
We have a guest, she said to Anna, and Anna alone. She came the night after your mate's counterpart emerged.
"What?" Anna asked aloud, her eyebrows scrunching together. And then, she was given the impression of a child, wailing. As well as a pup barely the size of an American football. It, too, was upset, its howls being carried up to the full moon.
With a gasp, she opened her eyes.

James had stayed by his mate's side, only taking but a moment to step away from her, even if it was only to go to the sink next to the toilet, and dampen a cloth with cool water. He also supplied his mate with Advil for her headache, should she need it. He paid close attention to her, especially when she whimpered. "Are ya sure, baby? You don't look well. You should lay down for a spell."
At her query, James tipped his head a bit. "What is it, baby girl? What's got ya so confused?" James hoped to high heaven that DJ hadn't impregnated his mate. As she opened her eyes, he took a soft hold of her shoulders, trailing his hands down to hers. "Darlin', are you okay?"
((Bleh XD))

Anna barely felt his hands, a cold wash of goosebumps making his trail down her arms bumpy. She could still hear the wail, as if the way the child was conceived wasn't a favorable one (and it most definitely wasn't), and it could sense the evil the deed was made from. She exhaled shakily, and with an equally shaky hand pressed it against her stomach.
She. Her wolf already knew the gender. Which was … astonishing. Maybe not for She-Wolf, because the spirit was practically omniscient. At least, it seemed that way to Anna. Her mind was completely blown. A baby girl. She was –
"Pregnant." She lifted her cheek from the toilet lid to turn her head toward's James. Her blue eyes were wide with a variety of emotions. Awe. Worry. Happiness. Fear. God, what was DJ going to do if he found out? No, when? "I'm pregnant, James."

James kept his hands on her, not wanting her to freak out as a result of a lack of contact between them. His hands were soft on hers, love in every touch. He knew DJ wouldn't give a flying fuck about that. To DJ, Anna was naught but a plaything. James released one of her hands when he felt her reaching for her stomach and slowly rubbed her back. He was worried about his wife, wondering now if she was alright.
As she said she was pregnant and displayed the variety of emotions, James mirrored said emotions. He was so afraid of what DJ might do if he found out - and given the fact that DJ could basically see whatever James did, chances were that he already knew about it. However, he kissed her forehead and sighed happily. "That's wonderful, my love. I promise you that this child will be safe. And if I have to get extra protection for both of you, I will. Your safety is of the utmost importance to me." James rested a hand on her belly. "I honestly hope he doesn't hurt you while you're pregnant, or really ever again for that matter. Do you know how far along you are?"
And speaking of the devil, DJ watched, and laughed. It wasn't even a small chuckle, more of a loud, boisterous laugh. The signature breeze that came with his laugh would blow through, stirring Anna's hair around her face. "Stupid bitch, I already know about it! I'll be damned if I don't make her my slut, too!" Another boisterous laugh came from him and he waited patiently for his chance to come forth. His timing had to be precise, exact, and perfect.
Out of pure desperation, James went to get the phone book. He knew sometimes that there were ads in the phonebooks for different stuff and hoped that he'd find one for someone who could provide protection for his wife in the event that DJ emerged from the depths of James' subconscious. He sat beside his wife, looking up frequently to make sure she was okay. "Do you need anything, darlin'? Tea? Water? Do you want anything to eat?" His love for Anna swelled and he sighed with a smile on his face.

The breeze made Anna shiver in fear – a feeling she was so familiar with. It had been her closest companion since her first day at the insane asylum. Despite James's comfort and apologies after an attack from his counterpart, fear never really left her. Even so, she yelped and buried her face in James neck, arms wrapping around his torso.
At his question, she shook her head. She-Wolf said something about the last time DJ had full control of her husband's body, and she shuddered at thinking that DJ was the one to impregnate her (even if it was James's body he used to do it). Even so, she wasn't sure how far along she was, because she didn't remember the last time DJ was free.
Slowly, she stood up and flushed her vomit down the toilet. Anna hated to pull away from James, but it seemed that he needed to go anyway. So she brushed her teeth and washed her hands (not in that order). All the while, she felt … off. The revelation made her feel as if she was a completely different person.
And she was. She was going to be a mother.
Her face was pale, her expression off in some distant land as she moved back to the bedroom. After picking up Red, she crawled back in the bed, lying down until James came back in with a phone book. "No," she replied quietly, her fingers rubbing Red behind the ear. "I'll prolly just throw it up again." She rested her head on his shoulder, giving her ample sight to the gray thin pages he was flipping through. A name caught her eye – well, the sign by it. A photo of a large alligator with its maw wide open. She read: Slater Travere.
That name rang a bell. After much thought, she remembered that he used to be her mother's boyfriend. He was nice, if a bit eccentric. Just before he flipped the page, she gently stopped James with her hand over his, then pointed at the name, which also said "Protection Services", but she didn't know that was why James was looking through the book. "I know him."

James smiled at his wife, kissing her softly. He felt the breeze as well, holding her close. He knew she was scared, as DJ had instilled fear into her ever since that first night. James took as much comfort in her presence has he could, given the circumstances.
He, too, hoped that DJ's involvement in the pregnancy had no effect on how the child was raised or treated overall. Even if DJ had been present, James was still technically the father. DJ was only an extension of James, so to speak. James watched as his wife stood and flushed the remains of the previous night's meal down the toilet, following her to the bedroom after. He knew that his mother would be a great asset to the couple in raising their child, and for that he was glad.
As Mommy picked him up, Red tried to twist around in order to lick Anna's face. He knew not how she was truly feeling, but he wanted Mommy to be happy. He watched as Daddy followed and looked at his wife with a concerned expression before grabbing a phone book.
James thumbed through the book, nodding at his wife's answers. "Alright, baby girl. If ya want anythin' let me know, 'kay?" As she pointed to a name in the book, he nodded. "Alright, baby. If you want me to call him up to come for a visit or somethin' i can do that. i'm assumin' you ain't seen him in a while, though."
Red successfully turned around in his Mommy's arms and licked her face. He wanted her to know he loved her. On accident, he pressed his paws on her belly, at which James simply tapped them to get Red to back off a little.
After a moment, Red cocked his head. Was his Mommy okay? Was her tummy hurting? He wanted to know, his little puppy brain unable to process that his Mommy was pregnant.

Scratching Red behind his ears was instinctual, barely even thought of. But just him being in her lap made her happy. Red always made her happy, because he was her baby.
Baby...
It was hard to picture her being a good mother. She knew she was meek. Frail. Soft. Anna could barely keep DJ away from Red. So who's to say that DJ wouldn't hurt her child? The one harboring within her stomach? Just thinking it terrified Anna. There was a violent shudder. And then she shook her head.
Yes, it had been a while. Since she was eight human years old, exactly. She remembered bits and pieces. Like he played the saxophone. And he always wore a gris gris bag. Out of all her mother's boyfriends, he was her favorite. Though one day he was there in her life. And the next… he was not.
"He prolly doesn't even remember me," she murmured, shaking her head, still feeling queasy. But not quite. Red's cute kisses had her giggling, but she gasped at feeling his paws on her stomach. Quickly, she looked down, then she shook her head.
They were just puppy paws. No bigger than a coin, really. So she only smiled down at him before bringing him up to her eye level. "You're gonna have a baby sister soon," she cooed.

Red made happy noises as his Mommy scratched behind his ears. He liked when she showed her love for him. He wanted her to be happy always, just like Daddy wanted.
James smiled at his wife, but then a thought struck him.. What would happen if DJ got a hold of their baby? He forgot about the monster within him as his wife spoke, "I can understand that, love. We can at least try to get in touch with him.
Red yapped happily as his Mommy held him up. He didn't know what a baby sister was, but he was nonetheless excited to see them. He was gonna have a sister! He licked his Mommy's face and wagged his tail feverishly.
((Lastish reply before bebby ish bornnnnn!!!))
