A part of her will always have that fear. The fear of becoming a burden. She smiles as it seems like she has won this argument and nods her head. Yes, let her help and be useful for as long as she can be.

Her blush deepens as she continues to hide it behind her wings. Why must he draw so much attention to it?! "But even should I become that round, your arms will not be able to properly embrace me, my love."

She was in heaven as she eats both the nutty bread and cheese. The nestling in her seems to enjoy the taste and she goes to coo at him. A part of her realizing that she could easily eat the entire loaf of bread and cheese in one go, so she was grateful that Saga took some for himself.

Leanne sighs when he mentions the time and goes to nod her head after the kiss, smiling warmly at him. "Thank you for eating it with me. I may head into town to pick up a few things for dinner, Darling. Would you like for me to keep an eye out for something?"

That fear of being a burden may tie to the heaviness that is slowly growing prominent within her belly. Saga must figure out a way to make her feel safe and secure, and that all of her fears comes from worrying too much.

He paused when she brought that up. "Then tonight, I may have to prove that wrong." Even if it means to finish work earlier, as money isn't much of an financial worry for him. He put it on his agenda to spend more time with his wife.

He took a pause and thought about it. "I think things that you can pick up are the usual for the pantry. Bread, cheeses, vegetables, fruits. Don't forget to pick up milk or juice." Considering taking care of livestock isn't Saga's strongsuit. "Also you might want to pick up pasta. Think of ingredients that can be cooked for dinner."

He trusts Leanne, and even if she didn't get it right, the valley has plenty of abundance and food.

"Just carry what you can."

Those fears, she was scared of having them coming true. To become a burden to her husband even if it is mainly because of the life that is growing inside of her. She knows that Saga is strong enough... More than strong enough to protect her and the nestling in her.

"Hooo? How do you plan to do it?" No, no skipping work! She will flare her wings at you!

She listens carefully and intently as he gives her the list and nods her head. "Okay, I will restock the pantry and see if I can get some dinner items." Leanne giggles and goes to give him a loving kiss.

"I won't purchase more than I can carry. But I will bring Rafiel along to help with some of the items."

"You'll see." No need to nag, the man goes off to work as its his duty. After all, he has to provide for his growing family, and as a good Saint, he has to prepare for the challenges to come...or a challenge of two that is growing in her belly...not that he knows it yet. "And all right." He trusted the rowlett, smart birb.

A few more loving kisses, and it's back for work to him while she goes off to the market in the village, leaving Saga to think for himself on how to organize and manage the tasks on his farm. By now, the villagers recognized Leanne as one of the residents who lived on one of the farm lot closed by and they often ask her how long she is expecting and asked when she is due, and they offer their congratulations.

It was sunset when Saga finished work and send off his shipments. He finished on time, with a lot of hours to spare, meaning spending more time with his wife, and whatever ingredients she brought him, he can cook in the kitchen.

Which she'll be finding him, as Saga is in the kitchen preparing dinner around the counter and the stove, wearing an apron, and he greeted her with a kiss with a smile. "You came back, my love. Did you bring back anything?"

Leanne blinks as he purposely doesn't tell her and she goes to stick her tongue out at him. "Tease." She spoke in a playful tone but then giggles as Rafiel gives him a salute before flying and landing on Leanne's shoulder. He was strong for a creature his size and can take care of almost any heavy lifting.

She giggles at each loving kiss she received and give before grabbing her hat and a shopping bag to carry groceries in. She was still getting used to all of the villagers and she doesn't flee from them at first sight anymore. She giggles and shares a few moments of small talk here and there, blushing at all the congratulations.

Leanne was out a lot longer than expected but at least once, a delivery man from the village came by to drop off a crate of various fresh produce, leaving it by the front door for Saga to carry it in once he was done with his work. It seems like Leanne is going on a small shopping spree.

Leanne came a little after sunset with her own shopping bag full and another one being carried by Rafiel. The Pokemon goes to drop his bag off on the table as Leanne giggles at her mate's greeting. "You know that I will always come back, especially for your cooking and seeing you in an apron~"

It was a small tease but she quickly returns the kisses with some of her own. "Sorry it took me so long, everyone wanted to talk with me and give me things inbetween shopping. I got a couple bottles of milk and juices... I couldn't decide on the juice." She then empties her bag and shows a few pasta choices as well as other things such as eggs, flour and chocolates. A few herbs and various cheeses.

"Most of this was given to me."

By the time Leanne came back with the items requested and perhaps more of what she picked up along the way, she'll find Saga in the kitchen, wearing the apron. The work is done, the sky grew dark, and it's time for his favorite part of the day.

He turns from the stove and sees she got quite a loot. "That's a lot! But that's great." He said, being marveled at her resourcefulness, but in the valley, there's always plenty in abundance and everyone is willing to share their goods because the people's hearts are warm and open in the valley. "But it's perfect, thank you." He said and gave her a welcome home kiss and resume working.

All of those ingredients, he's going to pick them up and put them in the dinner he's making. "I know what we're going to have." All of those cheeses are going to go into the dish. Leaving the rest for Leanne to put away in the cupboards and pantry. "A cheesy ravioli. Lots of cheeses stuffed inside." A vegetarian cheesy dish with spinach. He said as he tends to the saucepan, the boiling, and stirring of the pasta and sauces required to make the dish until the kitchen is filled with the aroma of the pasta.

"We should be well fed for a long time. I will have to find a way to repay everyone's kindness." A proud look on her face as he kisses her. She gains a brief fit of playfulness at the sight of him in the apron, cooking for his family. She reaches over to give him a small pinch on a butt cheek, giggling a little. "I am glad to do this small thing."

After the pinch has been delievered she goes to start putting the cheeses away. Her wings perked up at the mentioning of the dish he was making and a small drool starts to show. "The both of us... We can't wait to try it." Especially feeling the movement within her as the aroma starts to become more pronounced.

"How about the gold you collected in your other house? People will accept that as money. It is a form of currency." He said.

"The both of you huh?" Thank goodness she has gotten over her prenatal sickness as for him, it's good to see that she now works up an appetite. Now he truly feels like he is becoming a good provider for them both and he is becoming excited at the prospect of being a father.

Cheesy spinach ravioli was served with two plates for the both of them and fresh fruits for deserts. Once dinner was eaten and passed, Saga washed the dishes and finished the remaining chores to call it for the night.

Readying for bed now and call it a day, it's time to go to sleep. "Come over here. I did make a bet with you that my arms cannot properly wrap around you. I'm going to show you that I can and how it's done." After all, he wants to cuddle with her before going to sleep.

"I tried to offer them it but they wont accept more than what I have already paid them." Rather stubbornly too. This village was far too much like a Laguz village it seems. "I should send Rafiel to drop money off by their shops at night..."

She giggles and nods her head. "Yes, the both of us! Me and our nestling, silly." And then a teasing smile. "Or should I call you, Father-to-be?" All the playful tone.

Dinner came and dessert was devoured. She helped with washing the dishes and a few playful splashes towards him. She finished with all of her chores before slipping into bed. While waiting for him, she was preening her wings before blinking at his words.

"A bet you are sure to lose as I am getting so round." And that was weighing heavily on her mind. She sighs and goes to slowly move closer to him, before stopping at the edge of her side, frowning just a little at her own belly.

Leanne honey no... "Oh...Leanne." That face he makes because he's laughing softly, joyfully because she's too adorable to him right now. "You don't have to, but I'm pretty sure they see you are very kind and they did that because most of our produce, they sell it in their shops and use it in their restaurant, so that's why they didn't want to take more of our money." But this is precisely he loves her. Because her heart is too big and generous...and money isn't much of a concern in the valley. The residents here are more motivated by the land and mother's nature bounty.

Still, he smiles. "Yes, that would be nice. And you are the mother to be." Because it's the truth, and that's one role he looks forward to so much. All the playful splashing but he didn't splash back in return, knowing she's being playful and didn't want her dress to get wet. "Honey cut that out~ Let's get some work done."

When he sees she's being self-conscious about her looks and her body. "Come here, my queen." He is not bothered at the sight of it. "I love you." He's going to prove that bet. He wrapped his arms around her to bring her closer to him and get her comfortable on his bed.

"There see? I can still hold you. Still beautiful like the moon herself." Giving her a kiss now while stroking through her long hair to comfort her. "Are you still worried about how our children come out?"

She blinks and gains a confused expression at his laughter. "But even so... It is their livelihood. I will try to find a way to sneak more payments the next time I go shopping."

But still, the sound of his laughter is a pleasent one as well as the sight of his smile. "Well then I guess I should start calling you either father or daddy~" she giggles. Her playful splashing continues while getting work done. "Cut what out, Darling~" She is on a playful streak right now. "I am getting work done."

Still a frown was on her face as she looks down at her belly. How could something so big be any but unsightly to see? A small squeak of surprise leaves her throat as her gently pulls her into his arms and holds her. "I love you too, Saga."

She half closes her eyes at the kiss and sighs into it. "My love...." She sighs and shakes her head. "I think you might be a little drunk on something." It was spoken in a playful tone before sighing and cuddling against him. ".... I am.... I just want them to be happy... And safe..."

He rocks her back and forth on the bed to ease whatever discomfort and tension she has, though he senses her worries is the future of their children. When wrapping his arms around her belly, sensing she is self consciousness about big and unslightly it is, but he encourages her to lean on him, hugging his wife...because he doesn't care, because within her belly it's his true treasure she's carrying and she's being a real tropper dealing with motherhood.

"I wouldn't worry about what the future holds. We'll be there for them and when they grow up, I'll teach them to be strong so they can face the world."

Pulling up the blanket to cover the both of them because it gets chilly at night. "Until then, I wouldn't mind if they stay as kids forever and stay with us on the farm, their home." With a silly smile, having a wonderful thought on the saint's mind, playfully.

"Say how many kid you think we can have on the farm until we get too tired and old and our hair will turn gray?"

Leanne sighs as he rocks her back and forth. The rocking motion has become such a source of comfort to her and she leans against as much as she could. She had to be such a pain to deal with.... With her worries and insecurities.

"I know that you will but... I dont know... I will always have this worry for them. Our precious nestling."

Another sighs before a small giggle at his playful question. "Well... We have try and aim for 5 at least. Perhaps more."

A pain to deal with, but this is what Saga signed up for, and he kept a vow to take care of her and their family for the rest of his life. He didn't have any reason to return back to the Sanctuary anyway and wanted to leave his past behind, and he's pretty sure Leanne was in the same boat as him.

"The valley isn't anything like home. If anything, if I need help, I could call my brother and he'll come lend a hand." After all, last time he called him, Kanon said there isn't anything much to do and he went fishing by the sea. That's how he knows things were very peaceful back home in the Sanctuary.

With a smile, "You wanted five?" He held up his hand. "I think we can manage five or more." He's playing along, as he couldn't imagine having that many yet, but he does wanted more.

"Anyway, are you ready to go to sleep?" He made it routine to go to bed and go to sleep the same time as her, but at this hour, it's a good time to talk until the wee hours and one of them feels sleepy and go to sleep. He didn't mind staying until she feel safe with him by her side.

The past was in the past for the both of them. For Leanne, her past shaped her to who she was but at the same time, she wanted to leave it and be free from it. She still has many fears and insecurities stemming from her past but she was learning to let them go. Slowly but surely.

"Your brother?" She then blushes quite a bit and idly tucks her face against him. "But wouldn't that make me a burden to him as well? Especially if he came because I am not able to help."

She goes to let out a sigh and looks up at him, smiling a little. It was more real now, the fact that they were going to be parents and she has accepted the fact. She giggles at his smile and nods. "Though honestly, if the goddess only gives us this little one I will be happy and contented." She then playfully sticks her tongue out at him. "I was the youngest out of 8 children." She states but couldn't help but to smile.

She goes to shake her head but the smile never fades. "No... Not ready but you can sleep... I don't mind spending a few quiet moments with you, my love."

For the both of them, one day at a time. Saga's past was a dark one, one where his ambition made him reach too high before his inevitable downfall. He doesn't speak of it and he rather puts it behind, in the past where he belongs...even though Athena forgiven him already. His real focus is on his present reality...that he's becoming a father and reaching for a miracle, and that's having a family of his own.

With a nod, "Yes, his name is Kanon. He called me sometimes to keep in touch with me. Also, knowing him, I don't think so. He finds the farm life interesting, but his call is toward to the sea. He remains undecided because he wanted to stay by our Goddess side. Where we used to live, our hometown, there was the port where he docked his boat and he set out sailing to the sea to go fishing." In other words, he doesn't expect him to live with them other than an occassional visit to the farm and go fishing.

It's good that she accepted it and so does he. He just worries when their little one will be due. He already did his research and learn there's a midwife in the clinic close by, and he had spoked to her and she said she'll gladly come to the house when the baby will be due. He just needs to give her a call ahead of time.

Closing his eyes, she does have him to herself, as usual every night. It's comforting to have her by his side. Months before, he slept alone and it's hard and lonely especially being alone in the rural countryside surrounded by much wilderness.

"Not ready? Then I'll stay up as long you are." Wrapping an arm around her to keep her close to him. "I don't mind quiet moments." Or cute pillow talk.

In response to her mischieviousness, she gets an eskimo kiss...and then a loving kiss on the lips. "We can have many as we're able. It would be nice to have a big family even of 8."

There was a scent from his past which remains on him. But Leanne knew that it wasnt her place to ask and firmly believes that he will tell her one day.

"Kanon? Was that his name? He seemed shy when he was here the last time. I still need to thank him for helping with the fires." She sighs and closes her eyes for a moment. "The sea? I never been to the sea other than the beach here."

Emerald eyes reopened as he holds her closer and she giggles. "But you have a long day tomorrow." Her eyes gaining a loving shine in them. "I don't think I can ever get tired of seeing you next to me like this..." She just goes to whisper.

She giggles and her ears begins to wiggle at his playfulness. "8? My~ You are gonna be pushing for such a high number? Would be able to handle so many?"

It wasn't her concern as for now his old evil self is no longer a part of him for many years. The man she loves is the one whose heart is pure in his thoughts and actions. His thoughts and emotions is more protecting her and when the expecting nestling that is due soon.

"Yes, that's his name. He doesn't know you well enough, but I told him a bit about you. But stayed shortly but he has to leave to guard his post at the temple. Maybe someday he'll come for another visit to see he has a sister-in-law..." He said. "Well, beyond the beach, the sea is nothing but water. But I heard there are boats around at the port that can take you to an island to gather fruits there especially during the summer season."

"As much and as many as you can handle me." He said with a playful grin. She's cute with her ear wiggles, and that means she's in a good mood because he's by her side.

With a bit of yawn, feeling sleepy as sleep grows heavy. "It won't be a long day. I'll keep it short and I'll come back by your side as soon as possible, I promise~."

His past, it will always be a mystery to her. One day, she would like to learn of it but for now... She can sense his devotion and love for her and that it all that matters.

"Perhaps then next time... I will get to know him better. Especially since he is now my brother, but only if it wouldn't burden him." She then goes to listen to him and nods her head. "Then, I might have to be selfish and ask to go there with our nestling when summer comes around."

But then the sight of his playful grin causes her to giggle even more and leans over to give him a few playful pecks on the lips. "I am sure that the opposite will be more true."

A more gentle and loving smile forms on her face as she hears his yawn and reaches over with one of his hands to place it on her belly. Every night, she wanted him to go to sleep with a hand on her belly so the nestling can know it's father's touch. "Just don't miss any work, my husband. The both of us can wait for your return." And now she goes to start yawning as well, her wings moving to stretch with the yawn. "I would love to go shopping with you tomorrow...."

"We'll shall see about arranging visits. I talked to Kanon on the phone and he's very excited being an uncle." Blushing, feeling happy. He can imagine Kanon teaching them how to swim once the kids grow older. "I would love to take you and the children to my birthplace someday." Saga believed that is possible since he saw people come and go on the buses through the tunnels, and his brother made it safely between the valley and their homeworld. "Greece is lovely in the summer and they have natural hotsprings and the ancient temples that the people in ancient times build were on the hills. My country is famous as a hotspring paradise."

Saga gently rubbed her belly, feeling the round shape of it, knowing their child is within, comforting her, and then in a comforting way, rubbed the space between her wings and massage her back. "We'll see what tomorrow brings. Yes, we have to get new clothes and make preparations for the nursury." After all, Saga thinks it's exciting to prepare a room just for a baby's arrival. Already there's a crib he built and assembled, a shelf and drawers for storage he put together piece by piece. But he didn't have time to get toys and there's a rocking chair he must get for her to sit.

"Leanne, don't worry about work and I don't like to keep you both waiting. Everytime I see you, I ought to spend more time with you and our family."

"Yes, we shall see. I shall pray that he approves of me, even if just for the sake of your relationship with him." She blinks as he speaks of a wish and she goes to nod her head. "I would love that, to see your birthplace." She then giggles. "And especially the hotsprings. We would have to try out as many as we could." A small tease towards her mate's favorite past time.

She giggles before letting out a soft moan as he massages her back. Relief and comfort flooding through her at the massage. "We will have to make sure not to get more than we can carry. But I would love to get toys and pillows and blankets for the little one."

Her eyes goes to start closing as she just goes to take comfort in his touches. "But we are not waiting...." She frowns a little at his words before sighing. "Perhaps I should follow you into the fields. That way we can both work and spend time with each other."

"I think he already approved of you. I think he's more worried about me handling a strong woman. He teased me the other day to make sure you didn't peck me and asked me if you're safe from me. I said she's handling me just fine."

With a cheerfulness, "I know there's a hotspring within the forest. Let's visit there sometime." Because soaking in the hotspring or being absorbed in a sauna bath for hours is indeed Saga's favorite past time and probably the only time he wears is nothing but a towel...or if it's empty around with no wandering folks, then simply nothing at sometimes~. For now, he customized and built the bathroom similiarly for that purpose as well.

The soft rubs and massages were followed by his soft, sweet kisses, and at her suggestions, she wins in that regard. There's no stopping her. "All right, you can follow me in the field or greenhouse." Depending on the time of day. "But please don't overexert yourself."

Okay, at the Kanon report she couldn't help but to laugh a little. "Maybe I should peck you a few times to mess with his mind a little." All the teasing and cuddling right now.

Though at how cheerful he has gotten at the prospect of going to a hotspring in a forest, she couldn't help but to start laughing, tears welling up in her eyes as she laughs. She knows all too well how her husband bathes. She should make him some bath salts or something to do with bathing.

She giggles as it seems like he is relenting a little to her suggestions. "I won't. I will rest as soon as I feel tired. I don't want to scare you anymore."

She'll have to remember and make sure to bring the towels too along with the bath salts. A soak in the hotsprings is his favorite activity to get warm.

Still, her laugh...is the most beautiful song to him. Laughter means happiness and she's very happy with him. One of his fears and insecurities is that she won't be happy with him at all. He feels safe around her, one to easily smile and joke around, and she feels safe around with him.

That was why he's determined to love her for the rest of his life. He didn't want her to push herself too hard for his sake. Not because he didn't want her around him or pushing her away, but her well-being is more important to him. "I love you, Leanne. Very much. I just want you to be safe. This farm is our home and sanctuary."

She will have to bring along the entirety of a bath store with her to help him indulge in his favorite past time.

She continues to laugh and she couldn't help but to nuzzle him as she laughs. Her precious and silly mate, how much she loves him. She will always feel safe around him as she views him as her stronger half.

This Beorc male, how perfect was he to fully complete her. She loves him. Loves him so much that the child growing in her is the proof of the love she has for him. "I love you too, Saga... Not even the goddess knows how much I love you. Yes, this farm... It will be our safe haven from the outside world... Or even just from people of my world."
